cash is the novel method the Belden
Manufacturing company is following
to help promote the treasury depart
ment's drive. Since Whipple Jacobs,
president of the company, intro
duced the plan last August, stock

AXIS STOOCES:
ShOtU litter Signs

Signs of political and economic
crack-up at the northern and south
ern extremities of Germany's Euro
pean front were indicated in reports
limiting increasing unrest in Finland
and Rumania.
Reports reaching neutral Stock
holm, related that Finland, fearing
further Russian offensives in the
north, was growing desperate. The
Films situation was further compli-
Gated because of food shortages and
the inability of the Nazis to send
them assistance. Public anger had
been reused over a statement by
Field Marshal Goering that Rus
sia's 1899 war on Finland was only
a bluff.
The Rumanian situation was said
to be growing more critical because
of heavy losses on the Russian front.
Turkish sources reported that Mar
shall Ion Antonescu, Rumanian die
tator, had begun to despair of his
country's position. 1t was estimated
that Rumania had lost $4,000 men
killed in Russia and nearly $4,000
wounded and prisoners.

U-BOAT BASES:
Concrete Is Solid

Ten feet of solid concrete separat-
ed Raj bombs from the German
submarines they were dropped to
blast in Germany's super-U-boat
base at Lorient on Frances Bay of
Biscay. But British fiiers kept up
their logged attacks night after
night, for submarines remained the
chief menace to Allied success in
Europe.
British reports said that existing
pens under concrete at Lorient could
accommodate 20 submarines at a
time, while another set of pens under
construction could take 10 more.
Air warfare against submarine
sources was not confined to the bases
from which they embarked. Bomb
er attacks continued to be directed
against cities where U-boat parts
are manufactured, such as Essen,
Dusseldorf and Cologne, as well as
Copenhagen, Denmark, where sub
marine diesel engines are made. In
addition, Raj bombers strafed other
industrial cities, including Turin,

MERCHANT SEAMEN:
HerOisn, Unparalleled

The heroic part Americas 10000
merchant seamen have played in the
front line of combat on the high seas
was dramatized by a report issued
by Rear Admiral Emory S. Land of
the War Shipping administration
which disclosed that the percentage
of losses in personnel due to Axis
U-boats and bombers was three
times as great as that of the U. s.
armed forces in the first year of the
war.
Numerically, losses of merchant
sailors totaled 5000 including dead
and missing, or 3.8 per cent of the
total during the wars first year. U.
S. armed forces losses were l per
cent in this period.

Sacred HirOhito

The war probably has interrupt
ed customs even in Japan. But,
when Emperor Hirohito travelled
during peacetime, all window
shades were drawn for the trip.
He was considered too sacred for
profane eyes to see; his portrait
was likewise never seen publicly.
When Time magazine in 1886
printed Hirohito's picture on the
cover page, the Japanese embassy
Immediately suggested that Time
request its readers not to place the
magazine upside down or to place
objects on the sacred photograph.

of commons that a "start has been
made for reconciliation between
Frenchmen and readjustment of in
ternal conditions in North Africa"
Eden placed full responsibility for
settling North African controversies
upon Frenchmen themselves. That
the French intended to follow this
advice was indicated by the creation
of ive-man commission by the
imperial council in Algiers to under
take internal reforms. One of these
was the restoration to their posts
of officials ousted because they were
Masons. Another was the release
by General Giraud of q Communist
members of the former French
chamber of deputies.
A further step toward unity was
a blunt memorandum by Lieut.. Gen.
Dwight H. Eisenhower warning
American officers against unwar-
ranted criticism of "any ally.''

Whalebone Valentines

Between 1850 and 1915 in Eng
land, it was popular custom for
a young man to carve a senti-
mental message on a fiat piece of
whalebone or wood and present
it to his beloved, says Golfers. In
appreciation, she would wear it
next to her heart-as a stay In

Americans for the remainder of 1913,

Coffee rations were reduced from

so THAT was the mystery"
about Martin. He was working for
the government, not against it. In
stead Of being some sort Of spy,
he was a member OF the F. B. L.
This explained many things, why
he had pretended to have come
south Just for his health, why he
turned up so Unexpectedly in odd
places, why he had that disthermy
machine in his trailer for short
wave messages, yet it did not ex-
plain everything to Karen's COM
plete satisfaction.
II did not explain for instance,
why he had told her to leave his
heart alone so that there still
might be the mystery Of some love
affair in Martyrs life, and why he
had known so much about Karen
and her whole household, although
that may have explained why he
had cultivated her friendship, so
that he could add to what knowl-
edge he had had, and it did not ex-
plain why Marty stayed away dur
ing the days that followed.
These were the thoughts that
bothered Karen during her con-
valescence, which gave her plenty
OF opportunity TO think matters
over and find the answers to many
OF the riddles that had puzzled her
before. Fortunately she had suf-
fered only a flesh wound from the
bullet that old Jan had fired during
that tense struggle in the darkness
of the tower room, SO her injury
was not serious; careful dressings
and sufficient rest and Karen would
be as good as new once more, Ia
use DR.. Bennets words.
Nevertheless, she thought that
Marty could have come to see her
and to inquire about her condition
Hadn't he said that she had saved
her fathers life and perhaps his
own? Didn't he think that because
OF their friendship, and her belief
in him, that be ought to show some
interest in her recovery? No doubt
he had many more matters that
would have to be cleared up before
this case was closed, but just the
same, Karen could not understand
why Marty stayed away, making
no effort TO see her or get in touch
with her in any way.

Harbor, as long as such spying and
treachery against our country has
been going on in these underground
channels, as long as those other
small countries and peoples have
been under that spiked heel that
turned them into slaves. He-your
friend, Marty-has been in it all
this while, doing his 'hit'-and a
big share and dangerous job he's
had, at that"
Everyone cannot wear brass but
tons and gold braid, Marty had
said. He had said, too, that Paul
had been bit late getting into the
war. although he had enlisted as
soon as America got into the
scrap" Karen could understand
now why Marty felt that America
had been in it long before Pearl
Harbor.
But she still could not Understand
why Marty did not come to see her
He could not be THAT busy. What
kind OF friend was he, anyway? He
ought to know how anxious she
was to see him now that nearly
everything was cleared up. He
ought to want to see her, too, as
much as she wanted to see him.
Surely he would come tomorrow,
since he had not come today and
now that nearly week had passed
since that drama Of the tower.
Buffy had told Karen that Marty
had said when his work was fin
ished he would be going away. This
thought kept coming back TO her
as she counted the days going by
with no word from him. She was
sure that Marty would not 90 away
without saying goodby to her and
TO Buffy. He could not do a thing
like that! Yet she worried and was
unhappy for fear he might. He
might even be ordered TO leave,
with this case cleared up, to some
other case, in some other part Of
the country. by the government. 1t
might be such an unexpected order
on such short notice that he could
not take time for goodbys.
Well, II he could not find time for
that, she ought not care. She must
have some pride, IL Marty did not
care as much for their friendship as
she, IL it did not mean as much tc
him as it did to her. Her belief In

into her throat. But 1t was never
Martin at the door, nor on the 9TH
err end of the wire. There was not
so much as a postcard in the mail,
for which she watched eagerly. too.
Should she pocket her pride and go
to see him, as she had gone once
before? But no, she could not do
that-not yet, anyway.
When the extension phone on her
bedside table rang, that evening
after she had gone TO bed, but not
to sleep, as she had been lying
awake sleepless for hours, Karen
thought, with that wild leaping OF
her heart. that surely this time 1t
would be Marty calling. But 1t was
Paul instead, although it was unex-
pected for him to call her at such
late hour knowing he might dis
turb her and when he had been over
for a short while earlier in the eve
ming.
He said. II hope I didn't waken
you. but l had to call, Karen"
She knew right away, from the
sound OF his voice, that something
was wrong. She said, That's quite
all right; wasn't asleep. What Is

understood not only what he was

he did not say. His voice told her
those; the tenderness in 1t when
he said. THE poor, dear, foolish

had never held for Karei; the anx-
iety mixed with pride, and then the

that she WAS glad. She did not

Paul's voice now was all gladness.
