Torrance, and Roger Lindsay, a flier
with the u. S. Army Air Forces.
Clear cut are all his characters, but
Mr.. Sheriff. has the rare ability of
making his reader part of the story.
With astute dramatic skill, his
scenes are built SO that happiness
and subtle tragedy are finely balan-
ced.
The Woman in Red, by Anthony
Gilbert is a really good detective
story. Anthony Gilbert, the eccent-
ric lawyer, and his sleuth, Arthur
Crok, investigate the disappearance
of Julia Ross, a young girl in Lon
don. Sent from an employment
agency Julia encounters the sinister
Mrs. Ponsonby, her prospective en-
ployer. AS Julia enters the house,
she sets foot on strange journey
through fear and peril. a single
clue enables the detective to trace
her, and so narrow does the margin
between life and death become, the
reader suffers from breatblessness.
Boomerang, by Commander Will
liam C. Chambliss, is another thrill
ling episode of the war. A newly
commissioned ship with two naval
officers and fresh-out-of-Navy
school crew set out to serve as a sec
ret advance tender for seaplanes
scouting and bombing the Gilbert
Islands. With Yankee ingenuity,
father than orthodox Navy methods,
they capture Jap destroyer. Con-
verted into the USS Hokedokey, the
Jap vessel is put to a strange and
thrilling use. This is the kind of a
story that makes one unconsciously
swell the chest.

The Story of DIR. Wassell, by
James Hilton, is the true story of a
Navy doctor who got his wounded
men out of Java through the tur-
MOL of the Japanese invasion
Written in fictional form, the simple
story of the heroism of the doctor,
his men and nurses, is as poignant
as any adventure of this war. No
character is neglected and the stark
realism of the situation brings out
the greatness inherent in each i'm
dividual. This is a story to live by.
Heart On Her Sleeve, by Clarence
Buddington Kelland, is a spirited
romance. Set in a New England
valley town, the events leading to
sabotage in a plywood company
move quickly. When the manage
ment of the plant falls into the
hands of the owners daughter, the
pattern of adventure shapes swiftly.
The love interest is furnished by a
young naval lieutenant and the red
headed manager, Andree. Kelland's
comedy scenes are good and the
whole story is satisfactorily exciting.

times in the past few weeks. After
months OF studying and planning, he
had gone to Wilson, the plant man
ager, with scheme that was sure
fire for speeding up plane produc-
ton. Wilson was brusque. "You
stick to your engineering" he said.
"Ill worry about production"
After telling Wilson, among other
things, that he was the plants big
gest bottleneck, Parker angrily went
home.
Bitter and restless, he had gone
away three weeks ago, telling Elsie,
his wife, that he was out to get
real job.
But no one would take him without
release. AS the days passed he
longed intensely to be with his fam
lily again but pride would not let him
return failure. Finally, funds run
ming low, he took the job as Santa
Claus for the Christmas holidays.
Snow was beginning to fall. Last
minute shoppers were thinning out.
He walked aimlessly among them,
wondering where he could go, know

Christmas doesn't seem to matter
