American fighting Japan, but they
hated him personally, because he had
cost them face daily. They hated his
Solomon song. and hisquiet confidence.
Sometime after midnight Sato saw
light - little more than fash, like
torch carried behind the trunks of
palm trees. He touched the sleeping
Kimouri, who got up quietly.
Kimouri drew the knife from Sato's
belt and slipped one leg over the
thwart as he stalked the American.
Sato kept on rowing, knowing that
if he stopped, Tim would awaken.
The sleeping men invariably sat up,
when the oarsman stopped.
Kimouri's naked foot found the right
spot on the bottom boards, and slowly
he began drawing his other leg over
the thwart. One moment Tim was
fiat en- his back and the next he was
on his feet, swinging the leadline with
its hunk of lead cutting viciously
through the air. 1t struck Kimouri
and knocked him down; the knife
went clattering under thwart. Sato
dropped one oar and brought the other
over in a swift arc. Tim knocked it
aside, and, clearing thwart, was face
to face with the Jap. In the half light
they fought - dirty fight. Each ex-
pected to die if he lost.
j HERE was a weakness about Sato
that surprised Tim. His timing. his
swift, serpent-like hand movements so
vital in getting the desired ju-jitsu
grips were off Then Tim saw Kimouri
stir and stand up unsteadily. He half
fell. with his arms around Tins hips,
but the latter's right hand was free,
and as Sato came in, Tim caught him
flush on the jaw. He could hear the
curious swapping sound as the Jap's
Jaw bone fractured. ----

he made sure a rising sun wasn't paint

A bomber landed on the beach and
Tim climbed aboard. "You got your
self medal. Mister" an ensign said.
Don't tell me my bomb knocked
out that f1at-top?" Tim said.

But don't ever try it again. You used

At Honolulu they led Tim Mulcahy
to microphone. A few million people
wanted to hear him say few words.
He felt pretty silly about it, because
he felt there were a lot of guys who
had doubtless attacked the enemy
with equal fury and less luck.
So he licked his lips and said,

"Prudence'' Costs You Coupons For Canned Goods Over Quota; But You're Not Being Punished
By ANN FRANCE WILSON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Washington, Feb. IT - Don't feel you're getting your fingers rapped or being punished when your ration board deducts points" from your Ration Book No. 2 for canned goods. You'll be allowed five cans for each person but if you have more you'll surrender one eight-point coupon for every can in excess of your allowed quota. Only the eight point stamps will be torn out.
 Even though five, two, and one point stamps would add up to eight, these will not be taken from you. If you have more cans on hand than you have eight-point stamps, the number of cans left over after deductions have been made will be jotted down by your ration board and you'll have to give some of your stamps in your ration book. But you're not being chastised for being prudent what in pre-ration days would have been called @ good planner.

NEA Service staff Writer

The Missouri-born stylist who had a great deal to do with put ting bows in your hair, and who regularly makes Fifth Avenue sit up and notice her imaginative coifflires, now turns her attention to, the facts of hair life in the fac- tory and she warns:
 Mind what goes on under those heavy caps, other stiff gear, and these familiar bandanas If you don't want your lad in the service to return and find you premature ly gray, or thin-haired and even bald-spotted. ,tt
 %EIair must move and breathe like the rest of the body" she says, Tor the scalp will become i'll, and the hair will show injury"
 Hairs savers for the industry girls: use cotton net, flshnet cro- chet, anything porous and light, for your turban or snood, and don't wear 1t too tight. If you wear 8 uniform cap, shampoo the inside band once a week with 8 sponge squeeze through suds or cleaning fluid. Ammonia water makes a good rinse for the band.
 Never. bewail the scarcity of bobby pins and metal curlers-if you set your hair under your tiir-' ban or cap, try rag curls like Grandma used to have. They're made with strings of old stockings or underwear, and these never will cause the hair to break.
 If you haven't at least two good brushes, get them now and every night take one brush in each hand and brush, alternately, 8 hundred strokes. And if you see that your hair is falling out suddenly, or more than it usually did in peace- time, hie off for a scalp treatment by the best expert in town.

. McI<ENNEY oN BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY . America's Card Authority


 While in Cleveland dropped in to oee Alvin Landy's bridge club in Hotel Statler, and saw many old familiar faces there. Allie Enrich was up to his old tricks, bidding high but playing for all 1t was worth to make his contract. Here is a hand I watched him play in a rub- Der bridge game.
 In response to his partners eight. spot, West continued the diamonds and Enrich (South) ruffed. Then came the ace and five of clubs, and West led another diamond. This time Enrich ruffed with the king. He led a low trump to the jack in order to lead the last diamond, which he ruffed with the ace. Souths last trump was overtaken by the queen, the nine-spot took out Vests last trump, and dummy cashed three good clubs.
 Of course trump leads by the defense would have spiked the de- clarer's guns. Ollie might have tried setting up the spades by ruffing, but he thought that the defense would then surely shift to trumps.
