Synopsis

Laura Blake, army nurse, after
active duty in New Guinea, has
been back in the United States
making speaking tour to recruit
girls for the Nurse Corps. But
she longs to return to the South
west Pacific, especially as her IL
ance, Jerry Donaldson, bomber
pilot, is out there. Finally, she
receives orders to report in Wash
ington to learn her next assign
ment. Arriving there she shares
a taxi to the Pentagon building
with Col. Bob Boston, flying ace,
who distinguished himself in Chi
ma, and who also wants to get
back to the front after a tour OF
duty as a flying instructor in Tex
as. He makes a date with Laura
for dinner. When she reports to
headquarters she is told she has
been promoted to captain, is to
be given special training as a
flight nurse, and then will be re-
turned to front line duty. Elated,
she goes to the hotel where she
is to meet Boston.

She did haunt the lobby the
rest of that afternoon and all ev-

oughly that the hotel detective
began to wonder about her and
eyed her somewhat suspiciously.
At first Laura was angry. Then
she realized it was silly to be an
noyed. It was only natural for
the man to wonder why an Army
nurse should spend so many
hours sitting in the hotel lobby.
So she calmly walked up to
him.

I'll keep my eyes peeled myself.

sloping incline out of a step-up and,
of course, the use of the correct
milking routine, are among things
which will save labor.
A Minnesota farmer cut his
milking time from IS minutes
to 80 minutes, saving so minutes
each day or 800 hours per year
more than II whole days. Another
farmer was carrying feed in a g.
peck basket, making four trips
at each milking.
He built a feed cart, mounted on

new milking unit I'll need in a few
years." he explained. He had just
bought another War Bond.
Figures show how actively
farmers are backing up our fight
ing men by buying bonds. And
dairy farmers are smart people.
They know that every time they
invest $500 in a War Bond, they
get back $500 when they cash
in the bond atits maturity.
Many dairymen buy bonds with
the idea that these bonds will pay
for new milkhouse; a fine heifer; a
better herd sire or something of the
sort. I could fill my whole column
with examples of what dairymen are
planning to do with their bonds.
The Seventh War Loan starts in a
few weeks so / just wanted to drop a
reminder that when you buy a bond,
you buy another slice of freedom,
slap the Japs, and make sure that
when more equipment becomes
available you'll have bonds at hand
to make your purchases.

Out in the Western Pacific the Japs
are finding out just how much
trouble an airplane carrier can be.
Another type of carrier can get into
a dairy herd and create trouble of
its own kind, too.
At an Eight Point milk meeting
I attended in Idaho recently, it was
pointed out that cows can have what
is called a mild chronic" case of
nastitis which is hard to detect. but
which makes it possible for the
disease to be passed to other COWS.
A cow with such q case is called
a "carrier." The infection the
animal passes on may become
serious in other cows. So Idaho
suggests test by veterinarian
to locate such carriers, in addi-
ton to your regular 111aoti.i3
control work such as correct
milking routine, sanitation
measures and the other things
I've talked about recently.
1t is best to test the milk from
each quarter of the udder separately
IN making this check. One teat may
be infected but not all of them. This
will help in treating the disease.
Idaho recommends testing every
heifer or cow brought into the herd
and stresses guarding against injur-
ing teats as such injury in many
cases is direct cause of mastitis.

If a fellow stopped right in the
middle of his work every day and
climbed to the top of his windmill, his
neighbors would think he had slipped
a cog in his thinking machinery.
The University of Minnesota
started out to find ways to save labor
on a dairy farm. One place was found
where a piece of equipment used at
each milking stood on an old con-
crete base six inches high.
Workers stepped up on the
block IS times daily. In doing SO
they used the same amount of
energy it would take for man to
climb AZ feet. The block was re-
moved, and a lot of energy saved.
You may uncover a number of
ways of saving time and energy,

conveniently. Putting equipment

Tunisi,n La Goulette Is
Main Tun:s Competitor

La Goulette, seven miles from Tu-
mis-, was long the seaport of the cap
ital city On opposite sides Of Ell
Bahira, the Lake of Tunis, the two
ports have been engaged in game
of seesaW. in which La Goulette was
up when Tunis was down. La Gou-
lette is on a neck of land between
the lake and the sea, while Tunis is
on the inland side of the lake.
Tunis early became a great port
city, but when the draught of big
ger ships became too great for the
intervening lake, the ships could go
no farther than La Goulette, which
thus developed as the capitals sea
port. But in 1892-97 canal was cut
through the lake which enabled ships
drawing up to 81 feet to cross and
enter the ancient harbor, which had
been dredged to accommodate them.
La Goulette survives as a seaport,
mainly because her Wharves can
accommodate ships up to rs feet
draught, giving her a five-foot adj
vantage over the older harbor. 1t
has retained much of the Tunisian
ore traffic, and has a petroleum
