It was about ten miles distant and
I could see its vast cone-like shape
reaching out of the sea. There was
a dull glow at the top. The fire from
inside was reflected on clouds that
hung low over It's mouth. About
every ten minutes it would erupt,
shooting flames at the sky for a
few seconds each time. To add to
an already impressive sight, there
were streaks of lightning flashing
directly behind the volcano. The
Gods were indeed angry this night!
Soon after passing the Isle of
Capri, we were in Naples harbor.
Long after dusk tug came along
side. The Italians again wanted
those aboard to throw them Gig
arettes. These fellows ask for every
thing, so we threw them cigarettes,

the colonel, remembering Easts
double, allowed it to ride to the

or If you prefer industrioIized - medicine hos been
operating in the coal mining regions for some 40
years.
This system operotes somewhat in the Chinese
manner which is to pay the doctor to keep you we'll.
Single miners poy from IS cents to Sl.25 q month,
according to locality, and families from ST. to

and office coils and the standard medicines.
In addition to this there ore hospital and burial
funds All these ore apart from the core and treot
ment Of injuries sustained OF work, for which min
ers receive compensation. These medical services
operated by the mine owners.
Some companies oso provide visiting nurses,
whose work includes classes in such things as pre-
and post-notoI core. u To-
Maintenance Of medical service is written into

Of course the situation in mining communities
is different from thot in New York, where on ntri.

Strangely enough we have

For the sake of the record,

her as cowboy star Roy Rogers

WAR VERSE

"Take Them, Stranger" a
new collection of poems by Ba-
bette Deutsch Henry Holt: $2),
succeeds in interpreting the ag-
ony and pathos Of war without
once mentioning Rotterdam or
Lidice. II can be defensively ar
gued, perhaps, that those two
symbols of Nazi beStiality
should never be allowed TO be
forgotten. yet on the other hand.
those cities have been eulogized
so repeatedly that the strength
Of their symbolism tends TO
fade. Miss Deutsch makes her
point without benefit Of block
busters and ME-109's, too.
But she also writes OF things
close to home. and at the same
time universal. Country Sun
day: Winter" is an example, and
there are many more in the VOL
ume which display the same
subtle and telling touch:
Fenced with iron,
The muttering flame,
Cold as iron
The windowpanc.
SNOWY whispers through
The crack of the door,
A cold foot tapping
The rugless floor.
A sky withdrawn,
Having no part
In the dead earth
Or the cold heart"

Hioh|iqhts from the Latest Books

Co-Author of Billy Mitchell"
and author of My Last Million
Readers" Emile Gavreau COM
bines his inexhaustible knoWl-
edge of aviation history and his
natural reportorial ability in his
latest book, The Wild Blue
Yonder" (Dutton: So.
Here is the almost incredible
story of Americas unprepared-
ness before Pearl Harbor- the
prejudices against flying, Ger
many's infringement on Ameri-
cas- patent system, the blood
letting control of the ornaments
industry by a murderous few.
The significance of these gloomy
and documented facts makes a
startling contrast to the sequel
of Americas rise to the greatest
air power in the world today
the tale Of 1.-The sons of the pro-
phet," Billy Mitchell-Arnold,
Spaatz, Doolittle, Chennault,
Brereton, Eaker, Kenny and
others. 1t is a story of what
these men, and air-minded lead
ers like them, did TO produce an
air force of 100000 from a
nucleus Of l76 combat planes -
all we had before Pearl Harbor
TO defend the Pacific stretch
from Hawaii to Singapore.
If Gavreau is occasionally
repetitious, this can only be laid
to his background of opposition
as a pioneer of aviation. The
story he has to tell is the story
of progress, the story Of the
men who fly our B-29's, who
bomb Ploesti, who hit at the
heart of Germany-it makes
good reading, the tale Of how
America is winning the war.

Michael Rawlins, English school,
master, is fired from his school.
Rather than feeling dismay or
shame, RaWlins is overcome by
relief, a sense of freedom that
his nine years of teaching had
quelled. He determines on an
adventurous life-no obligations,
no conventions. A man Of ideals,
however, he is incapable of
mere drifting.
A former student of his. Dav-

ture, follows him to London,
believing his dismissal is due to
politically liberal ideas. Rawlins
is irresistibly drawn to the young
man. His plans for life as an
adventurer are disrupted by the
concern he feels for Markham,
by the intuitive response evoked
in him by the ardor Of the boys
beliefs.
For a time RaWlins struggles
to keep Markham from going to
