tiers done, STOP"
''That'n be for the kid. The rest
I'll get will be gravy"
Mr.. Wrinkle wished that he had
only small part of the plumbers
lust for vengeance.
eff I don't get to the Japs," pro-
posed Mr.. Tinker, "and you do, will
you strangle one for me?"
Mr.. Wrinkle swallowed. His throat
felt dry. "Why, yes-certainly," he
promised.
Don't 60 back on me-" Mr.. Tink-
er searched Mr.. Wrinkle with his
beetling gaze. But he didn't give Mr..
Wrinkle the mouse-look.
In appreciation, Mr.. Wrinkle said,
II won't 60 back on you"
AS if he weren't quite sure Mr..
Wrinkle would keep to his word, or
was capable of keeping to 1t, Mr..
Tinker pronounced, "I'm going to
ask every guy I meet so there won't
be no mistake about it,"
Mr.. Wrinkle was envious and lit
tie awed.
Mr.. Tinker scowled. Something
was bothering him. 81 didn't like
all them questions they asked" he
said. whats the idea of all that
stuff"
Mr.. Wrinkle explained that it was
to fit each man into work according
to the best of his abilities and ex-
perience.
"You mean," asked Mr.. Tinker,
"they maybe might not make me
into shooting soldier?"
Mr.. Wrinkle said there was pos
sibility of this, especially in view of
Mr.. Tinker's background of being
handy with tools.
''Not a plumber" Mr.. Tinker
asked in alarm. II won't be no
plumber.
It was Mr.. Wrinkles opinion that
the Army had all its plumbing taken
care of by civilian contractors. 1t
would be in some other mechanical
capacity.
Mr.. Tinker looked glun. "Then
how am / going to get me Jap?"
He held up his hands and stared at
them as if he were going to fail
them. 81 knew I shouldna told that
guy take down my jalopies and put
them together again"
"Well," Mr.. Wrinkle consoled him,
sit isn't decided yet"
He didn't confess his fear that It
was. He had heard the stories-and
met a few examples-of the Army
habit of learning that man was a
baker and then promptly making a
truck driver out of him. Thinking
of himself as round peg, Mr.. Win
kle was sure that he would remain
in the square hole Of training for the
Infantry in which he now found him
self fastened securely.
Mr.. Wrinkle was sure that his mis-
cry was greater than that of any of
his fellows.

to say nothing of the Articles of War,

luctance he even entertained slight
admiration for the clever details Of
it's wicked mechanism. Bf 5
Firing it, however, was another
matter. The first day on the range,
Mr.. Wrinkle closed his eyes when he
pulled the trigger. The resulting
explosion made him open his eyes.
For an instant he was sure he had
shot himself; at least his shoulder
felt as if he had.
He was informed by the Alphabet
that he hadn't hit any part of the
target. On successive tries he didn't
do much better, but he learned to
keep his eyes open and sight.
A rifle was bad enough, but when
the day came that the mysteries of
a machine gun were revealed to
them, the palms of Mr.. Wrinkles
hands perspired copiously and his
stomach crawled.
Nevertheless, he carried out his
duty. Sitting before the weapon,
the white cloth of the target be-
came a blank, with the horizontal,
perpendicular, and slanting boxes
marked on it erased as far as he
could see them. He was so hot
when he squeezed the trigger that
his glasses became clouded and
he might as well have been blind.
The gun jumped, splitting out hail
of lead. A great vibration was in
his hands. 1t felt like a series of
sharp electric shocks. He let 60
hurriedly.
Except for the chatter Of other
guns down the line, there was 81
lence.
The Alphabet filed it. "You
plowed up plenty OF ground" he
told Mr.. Wrinkle. '.Now see what you
can do to the target"

Fabric in Decorating
Homes of Tomorrow

IF YOU are dreaming about re.

who is not-put this in your note

use Of fabric in home decoration
than ever before. There will be
many new types of textiles and
many new weaves. Fabrics will
be designed to wear longer and
to stay clean longer. A feeling of
spaciousness will be obtained by
plotting out some walls with cur

way" After moment he growled,
my kid brother was at Midway.
He was a fiier. Yeah, he got killed
there. After the family squeezed
