EUROPE:
Fortress Shoulders

With it's home front rocked by
Berlin's devastation by 1000 Raj
bombers, Germany sought to boil
ster the southeastern flank of her
smouldering Fortress Europe by
turning to military maneuvers to in
huence wavering, neutral Turkey.
While Berlin's populace dug out
of its ruins, Germany was reported
moving troops through Sofia, Bull
garia, to the Grecian frontier,

II. S. SPENDINC:
Sees Need

Special advisor to the board Of
governors of the Federal Reserve
bank, Economist Alvin H. Hansen
proposed annual government ex-
penditures at the rate Of Is to IS
billion dollars to prevent postwar de-
preston.
Declaring that the last great de-
preston was the result of drop of
Is billion dollars in private invest
ment between 1929 and 1882, Hansen
said it was necessary for the govern
ment to develop a program for meet
ing such crisis, SO as to halt big dips
in consumer buying and attract
capital back into business.
The present war will be followed
by period in which people will
spend money for accumulated
needs, Hansen said. But unless gov
eminent stands by with some kind
of program to take up the slack in
employment that will follow the fill
ing of all these orders, we might well
run into another depression, Hansen
asserted.

Without Wires

A new type Of electric light that
requires no wires, but obtains its
current from a beam of high-fre-
quency radio energy, was demon
strated recently in New York. Ex-
perts said that this will be the light
ing of the future. Also shown were
radiant heat lamps that gave off
enough heat to cook food, and mer-
curry vapor lamp, the most brilliant
known. 1t uses 10000 watts. and

WORKING WOMEN:
More Needed

H1O6 z INCONOOL
With 1914 million women already
at work, another million are needed
to round out war production de-
mands.
AS of October, only 100000 people
remained unemployed, and with this
sharp reduction in the number idle.
it has been found necessary to call
on women to fill in many jobs, espe-
cially in busy war production CEN
tiers.
The extent to which women have
been recruited for industry since
the armament program got under
way can be glimpsed by the fact that
only 10000 were working in Octo-
Der, 1910.
Special community recruitment
campaigns, door-to-door canvasses,
and production demonstrations in
large shopping centers have contrib
uted toward the enlistment of women
workers in industry.

 T haven't seen it. Major" she said, serious:y and somewhat tensely, reverting to the official address in her own concern over the situation. T haven't been away from my desk since I sat down to work this morning, and no one but you has been in here with me-
 Brit studied her face a moment. You're Sure?" he asked. You're absolutely Sure?'
 Do you think I'd lie to you?" she asked indignantly.
 T don't mean that. I mean, sometimes person forgets minute or so of absence"
 ITO be exact" Beth answered, T did leave the office in two oc- casions. Both times I placed every paper on top of this desk in the safe and locked it. I am positive no paper escaped me"
 "It's incredible Brit said.
 Beth leaned back against the Gesk. She thought hard. There Mfcst be some answer to this pug gle. Brit went through all the papers again, to make sure the directive had not just been mixed up. His search proved fruitlesS.
 There's only one thing I can suggest" said Beth. Someone got into the safe and took the directive

before the papers were removed this morning, or it was taken dur ing one of my absences"
 Impossible"
 All right, it's impossible" Beth looked Brit straight in the eye. You told me that I might have to do little detective work while l was here.'
 T didn't say exactly that. I think I said suspected, and you were to help me prevent it."
 Tn this case, Major, it sums itself up to the same thing. Will you give me permission to offer an opinion?"
 Brit smiled, but it was no smile of mirth, In it there was wear mess and some desperation
 Go ahead. Only if I don't think it's good, I'll do what I'm thinking Of doing anyway - I'll search everyone and everything until that directive is found"
 That's a very poor idea. It would be better to permit no one to leave this island or communi- cate with anyone of the island until the directive is found"
 Brit, narrowed his eyes. T think l know what you're limiting at."
 I'm hinting at nothing specif- cally, That is a good general pro- cedure, regardless of who is here" She paused. She decided she might as well say it. Since you brought up the subject, Lita Dan- ton and Rick Moth
 How would Brit take this?
 Go on," he said.
 I'd like to point out that Lita and Rick might have had oppor- tunity to investigate this safe. Of course, that theory is a little far fatched It would demand that either they arrived here a few hours before our arrival, and tried the safe, or that they tried it on one of their several trips to your office today. I remember now that once when I went out of the office Lita Danton was identifying her self to a guard at the end of the corridor - I didn't see MT. Moth With he but he might have been nearby or I might not have mo- ticed him. The theory also would demand that they suspected some thing of importance was in the

safe and that one of them was capable of opening it."
 If we only knew whether MT. Moth were an eX-cracksman!" Brit said, his statement tinged with sarcasm. Listen here, Beth Carter, did you just dream that up out of jealousy?"
 Beth was infuriated.
 You give me permission to express an opinion. I did. You needn't accuse me of ulterior mo- tives merely because I offered what might possibly be an ans wer."
 Maybe Lita has been a little overeager to get a scoop" he said Maybe the safe was left open sometime when neither of us real ized it. Maybe ."
 Brit, you're a major and my commanding officer, and I'm a third officer and not supposed to be giving orders. But If I were in command here, regardless of whether I suspected anyone par ticularly, I'd put into effect that order II suggested little while ago and I'd order very espe- cially that the Danton-Moth plane should not be allowed to leave" She swallowed hard.
 Brit looked at his watch. Then he gathered up all the papers Beth's notes included, and put them into the safe. Be sure the doors are closed" he said to her She made certain. He motioned her to his side. In whisper, he said, I'm changing the combina- tion. listen closely"
 It was difficult to memorize the new combination. Here was proof | that he still trusted her. 1 After supper, Beth took a walk. While she was strolling on the fal side of the cove, she made hel dicision. She would do some sleuthing on her own.
 She could see the seaplane which carried Lita Danton and Rick Moth riding on the water couple of hundred yards away. Betf turned back and, strolling, re. traced her steps until she entered the bower which covered the path Then she moved swiftly of along a side path which led around thu cove. In a few minutes she wa on a small, foliage-hidden knol just above the portion of the beacI off which the seaplane rode a anchor. The plane itself wa within 50 yards, yet she wa! hidden.
 She watched the plane intently A light shone for second, bu 1t was extinguished almost imme' diately. The moon had risen anC the night was bright, brighter b! for than the last night she haC lspent on the mainland, only 4

THE STORY: Beth Carter, WAAC, is Major Brit Jackson's "One- staff on the tiny camouflaged island in the Pacific where his unit of the Coast Ar tillery barrage Balloon battalion is based. Major Jackson tells Beth she is to assist him in track ing down suspected informant ton leaks but no one else on the island knows in what capacity she is there. Their talk is intrrupted by the appearance of a strange young woman who immediately takes possession of Brit. The next day Beth overhears Lita DantOn persuade Brit to give free passage to the plane that brought her and her companion, Rick Moth, into a forced landing on the island.
