"Trouble" Stalks Japs In Jungle

quietly out of sight, emerging only at night for food and water.
 Then one day a member of @ Marine patrol heard 8 noise. The patrol halted, and one man started into the brush toward the big tree. A shot stopped him. The patrol circled the area and moved cau- tiously through the tangle of foliage. More shots rang out, and the Mar ines dove for cover. A consultation followed on how best to root out the unseen enemy.
 That was when Trouble" ap- peared. Cocky, little Corporal Will liam A. Garron, 24. Wellesley, Mass, Is a Marine whose daring and con- tempt for danger has won him the nickname of Trouble" and the ad- miration of less adventurous com panionS
 ONE DOWN-FIVE TO GO
 Trouble" an automatic rifleman and group leader who had stalked and killed numerous JapS on Bou- gainWlle and Guam with the Third Marine Division, came swinging down the jungle road alone, a Ga rand rife over his shoulder. When he saw the patrol. he stopped. One of the patrol members explained the situation to him.
 Garron's nose tilted slightly higher as he studied the brush Then suddenly he unlimbered his Garand and pushed quickly into the jungle.
 The patrol members yelled after him, but the only reply was the noise of Garron, as he waded through the underbrush towards the big, uprooted tree. Then there was 8 shot,
 At the base of the tree where the roots made Q natural entranceWay, Garron had gotten the drop on waiting Jap. The man fell, and the little Marine moved in after the other Jap Snipers. Inside the shelter he got . glimpse of five men fall- ing over each other, trying to find hiding places in the roots and branches.

 Here's another of those freak hands. happened to be kibitzing the night this one was played in the Park Central Duplicate in New York.
 Several players opened the South hand with two club bid. At prac- tlcally every table, regardless of what South bid. West put in heart bid. Most fantastic results were ob- tained, think, at the table where the bidding went as I have shown you above. Of course, Norths bid of three hearts over the two heart bid was to make sure his partner would bid again.
 l do not like Souths bid Of Ave hearts, even though 1t Is made to show the ace of hearts, because ace Of hearts cannot be of my value to your partner. think 1t would be more important to rebid clubs and let him know you have a good club suit.
 But I will say this--that when North jumped to seven spades and 1t was doubled by East. South was smart In bidding seven no trump
 The experts differ as to whether or not East should have doubled seven spades. However, after doubling seven spades, the big argu- ment is whether or not West should open the kelg of hearts.

Flavor Of Chinese Dishes
 Due To Careful Blending

Editors Note: The following is the third of series of articles on food customs of the Allied Nations
 Eating became fine art in Chi na many centuries ago. According to an old proverb. the most i'm portant thing in eating is to know the taSte"-and the Chinese discoy- cred the secret of taste in a mas- tery of combinations, a matching of seasonings with foods. Thus the chief characteristic of Chinese cook cry is. as one writer has put 1t, tits mingling of many flavors to pro- duce a new and enchanting one"
 Important in achieving this eff feet Is the use of Chinese Cor Soyu) Sauce, according to Jessie Alice Cline, home economist. This sauce Tor ages has been the universal H. quid salt seasoning in China. They say 1t takes almost year to com plete the processes of making and aging this fine sauce, and 1t is used with practically all kinds of food, rom soups to meats to vegetables to salads.
 Most Chinese food is So prepared that 1t can be served in deep bowls and readily managed with the help of chop sticks. The meat is always cut up In small pieces; knives and forks are considered barbaric, and the Chinese say that the place for carving Is in the kitchen.
 Typical Chinese dishes are healthful and economical. For the most part, they consist of vegetables combined with small pieces of meat, made distinctive by seasonings and appetizing sauces. These are ac- companied by rice or noodles or wun tan Somewhat similar to noodleS), and always fragrant hot tea.
 Rice is the food most universally used. though 1t is never eaten by itself. Pork Is the staple meat. Chicken and fish are also popular items. Some of the vegetables are familiar to Americans, some are not. Bean sprouts are what give that crisp. crunchy feel to chop suey and many other dishes. Bean curd is m inexpensive dish, eaten particularly by the DOT but accept ed by the rich. In coking, the fat most commonly used is peanut oil ginger is a favorite condiment.
 Chinese chef, rely on judgment for their measurements, but many of their famous recipes have been adapted for use in American kitch- ems. The following are two of these:
 Egg Foo YunG
 1 cup cooked meat l can bean sprouts l-2 cup chopped onion
 c eggs
 1-2 cup lard
 Gravy
 Cut any leftover cooked meat into fine shreds. Drain bean sprouts and mix with meat and onion. Beat eggs lightly; add to meat mixture. Drop by spoonfuls into hot lard in large frying pan, making patties about 3 inches in diameter. Brown on both sides. Serve immediately on hot platter with gravy.

might subsequently, be considered for service.
 The proposal calls for the Federal government sharing with the non- federal public agencies on a basis to be set by Congress, and for state and local agencies to handle the construction. This would mean local jobs when construction started and steady employment due to the future increase in air traffic which, It has been estimated, may amount to 300 per cent in passengers alone in the postwar period.
 Perley Boone, newly appointed Di- rector of Press for the 21 airlines composing the Air Transport Asso- citation of America, thinks he has the ansker to the question, How can the airlines increase their pas Senger travel by 500 per cent after the War?"
 "True, it will not be an easy task Boone said in recent publicity re- lease, but there are certain circum- stances which make a 500 per cent rise in air travel more likely than appears on the surface.
 Tn fact, much of such a gain will come through natural develop mentS.
 Aside from the tremendous spread of air-mindedness due to the great achievements of aviation in the war, the public will find itself interlarded with 250OOOO to 3,OOO,- 900 men and women who have served in aircraft, either aloft or on the ground. It is not only this potential group of travellers but the missionary work which they will do that will help to a large extent in making almost everyone air-minded. These men and women will not only demand seats in airplanes, but will encourage relatives and everyone around them to fly.
 Beyond this. when you consider the greatly improved service which the airlines will be able to render through the acquisition of several hundred large new passenger planes With the latest equipment and com fort; the lowering of airline passen- ger fares, plus what each of the air lines will do in the way of adver- Using and educating the public. 1t IS evident that millions of new trav- elerS can be enticed into the air"

WHOLE BLOOD SAVING L|VESIN
 LUzON BATTLE
7 By E. c. VALENS
 SUnited Press War Correspondent

RUntted Press War COFrespOndent)
 Advance Base Blood Bank, Some where in the Marianas CUP) - Blood for Luzon-this is the magic password which automatically gives hundreds of pints of whole blood daily a transportation priority over all other articles of war.
 Successful battlefront delivery of whole blood in quantity was im- possible four months ago. Today 1t IS heralded as one of the greatest Forward steps in medicine since the start of the war and present plans call for doubling the daily supply of 800 pints for the Pacific area.
 Because of this" said It. Col. Douglas B. Kendrick, Atlanta, Ga, special representative of the Sur geon General. who has returned from an inspection tour of Pacific blood -dispatching facilities, sol- dier wounded in a forward area such as Luzon has a better chance for speedy treatment and recovery than if he were injured in New York City,
 Permits Quick Surgery
 Availability of whole blood in battle zones would mean nothing alone, Kendrick said, but. com- bined with surgery, penicillin and the most up-to-date medical facil- tiles, 'it means more men can live who otherwise would die - you're got to live long enough for surgery and penicillin to help you"
 Mnua1 rt Rochester, N. Y, officer in charge of the blood bank here, explained that most surgery in the past had to be postponed until the patient could be transported to large Army or Navy hospital because major surgery cannot be performed without supply of whole blood. Five to 10 pints may be required for one long operation.
 Although blood plasma ca nonly vital, Brown said, 1t cannot take the place of whole blood. Battle shock comes from hemorrhages, and In this case plasma can only tide the patent over until he is taken to the rear for surgery. Avail ability of whole blood at field hos pitals makes immediate surgery possible.
 Recovered in Two Weeks
 One serviceman, for instance, had an explosive shell fragment in the abdomen and lost two and one half quarts of blood, Kendrick related. He was given F transfusions of whole blood from the States and was hale and hearty in two weeks. without whole blood" Kendrick said, "he would have been fiat on hls back for two months before he could even be moved"
 Because of this winters progress an whole-blood preservation and delivery, Brown said, no hospital after the war will have any ex- cuse for not having blood bank.
 We can now send blood to any spot on earth with the exception of enemy-held territory" Brown concluded, and from now on out we expect blood to be available on all our beachheads."
