At the time, his sufferings were
terrible. Then, early on the fifth
day, he saw the black felt tents of
the Benni STA etched on the hori-
ION. He saw, presently, wheat fields
thrown across the Wasteland like a
ragged, green scarf. He heard the
believing Of cattle, the dissonant
creaking of the water wheels; and
he knew, by all these signs, that
here was crude irrigation and that
river and the jungle whence it
flowed, could not be far off.
He followed Rashid's advice; hid
all that day, in spite of his ex-
cruciating thirst, in the shadow of
great piling of chalk rocks; went
on his way when night had curved
its slow, ebon dome.
Early in the forenoon, he came
to a river. 1t was a mass of deli
cate, wavering color, like sunlight
upon Wind-fluttered silk. Beyond
it, he noticed narrow trail that
vanished into low, gaunt bush,
and, still farther beyond, the Jun
gle standing motionless and mon
Strous.
Re dismounted and swan across,
pulling his frightened camel by
the halter.
On the opposite bank, the river
was bordered by a swamp. 1t was
a steaming expanse spotted with
hillocks of thick, chocolate colored
mud, floored and streaked with
purple bands and rainbow glowing
blotches and with an occasional
infusion of clear emerald where
naive young tree tried to battle
against the miasmic corruption.
A quagmire, it seemed, where
one had to proceed slowly, warily
And he had almost reached safety
when the camel stepped into
dep hole that dubbed and sucked,
foundered on its side with a de-
spairing runt, almost jerking the
American after it.
Not a moment too soon he re-
leased the halter and jumped side
ways. He leaped from mound to
mound, expecting every leap to be
his last; and then, without warn
ing, there was the dry snick of a
breechbolt, yellow squirt of
flame, and - by this time he had
ducked, his body f1attened out In
the thick, oozy slime-the thud of
a bullet splintered a tree a hairs
breadth from his head.
His exclamation was instanta-
neous, automatic, profane and in
English.
The very next second, he heard
loud laughter; heard an answer
drifting from the bank, also in
English, although with a heavy,
cultural accent:
"A saheb-by my own and my
mothers honor! And I had thought
1t was some dirt-fed desert rat of
a BedaWin!"

Mayonnaise, because it is not ra
toned, is being used increasingly 1t
goes not only into salads and sand
Wiches and on bread to take the
place of butter, but is frequently
used in cooking.
Commercial mayonnaise is not
the same thing as commercial
salad dressing. According to gov
eminent standards, real mayon-
naise contains edible vegetable
oil, egg yolk or whole egg, vine
gar or lemon juice and seasoning.
The finished product must contain
not less than so per cent of edible
vegetable oils.
Commercial salad dressings do
not have to contain SO much oil,
egg or any of the other ingredi-
ents. That is why mayonnaise,
with its higher nutrient content,
costs more than salad dressing.
The cost of mayonnaise depends
largely on the amount and quality
of oil and egg used.
Mayonnaise keeps well if cor
rectly stored. A moderately cool
temperaure-betWeen so degrees to
10 degrees F.. is best. Do not place
next to ice compartment in refrig-
orator because extreme cold will
cause it to separate.
A recent survey revealed that
because of rationing, many wom-
en- use non-rationed mayonnaise
to spread on fish before baking or
broiling, in making hot sauces,
and to season baked hams and
other meats.

WATER PRESSURE
TO Be INCREASED

Water consumers of Waterbury
will experience a noticeable improve
ment in the pressure at which city
water will be produced when the
Pitch Brook reservoir on the Litch-
field water shed is finished, an
nounced officials of the bureau of
engineering today. This will be done
without the aid of the Hecla street
pumping station, dispensation of
which will lower the operation ex-
penses.
In one particular case, the new
installation has solved a pressure
problem, predominating in Fair
mount where for years heavy drafts
of water by merchantile and in
dustrial firms cut the flow to a
drip in homes in this vicinity. The
new pipe has improved the situa-
ton greatly.

where the trail split was being
watched?
He asked Rashid, who pointed to
where the moon painted the dis

silver.

said, but not too close. Five days

should stay away from them, hid

only at night when he got there.
For said Rashid, 1.-The Benni

"The jungle trails? I do not

With stilted Moslem courtesy he
expressed his gratitude:

And he mounted and was off
into the night, while, far off, the
drums whispered again.
When, later on, friends asked him
for the details of his fantastic, lone

rather helplessly; would explain
that he hadn't gone out as an ex-

in 10000 converted dwellings and in
200 900 new constructions.

the growing shortage is that critical

Having that happen to her is
hard on a girls morale-and her
faith in men,"
That is an angle, all right. But
it is just another wartime problem
that women have to work out for
themselves.
OWN RESPONSIBILITY
All a girl can do to protect her
self is not to be gullible, not to be
too eager to fall in love in a hurry,
not to expect anyone else to look
out for her and to put her welfare
first.
In short, a girl has to look after
herself. 1t is undoubtedly a hard
er thing to do in war than in peace
time-but it is still girls major re-
sponsibility.
She mustn't let herself be fooled.
She must realize that it is better to
be hardboiled enough to put her
self first than to be so romantic as
to put first a man that she has only
known a little while.
That is much better than wail-ing
