MY daddy was flyer. My daddy killed

That was the beginning He'd laughed,

Are you pilot?"
Sally, obviously embarrassed, quickly
joined in. No, Mr. Jones isn't pilot. Why
on earth should he want to be? He's very
wonderful and successful real-estate man.

tempt and said, 'Huhp' Then. trying to save

Sally had laughed and tried to make joke

the three of them sat there in front of the fire
with the picture of the young man with the
wings and the medals looking down at them
and laughing.
. lRAGIcALLY, Harold Jones took her laughter
and the silence for tacit agreement with the
child, and violent emotions began tearing him
apart He saw himself, as the child saw him
and as Sally herself must see him, too. He
was grateful that he had not yet dared to
speak of his love. She must surely have re-

HEAT RETENTION, MOISTURE AND ROT RESISTANCE
 OF NATIVE ALASKAN LUMBER PROBED BY ARA ENGINEER

Those little wooden houses that stand in two straight rows be- hind the Agricultural Research Administration building - well, they're just what they seem, and that is little wooden houses.
 They have nothing whatever to do with ARA plumbing, which is of the best, as befits the Valleys most modern office building.
 To get back to the little wooden buildings-they're actually min iature houses, constructed to test the relative values of native Alaskan lumbers as building ma terials. The object of the expert ment is, of course, to uncover a native-grown building material that will topple the high costs of home building.
 Constructed under the supervi- sion of agricultural engineer Ivan Branton, the 14 little houses are all of identical measurements and all have the same 2x6 floor con- struction, saWdust-filled.
 One building, to be used as the control unit against which the performance of the other 13 will be measured, was made of stand ard building materials. It is fin ished with siding on the exterior and is celotex-lined. The other structures in the test are vapor- sealed on the interior with roof ing paper MT. Branton has a theory about the winter vapor and moisture that escapes be- tween the walls of houses, that he's anxious to test. He's hoping he may find a good reason for the rotting that is common in Alaskan log homes, particularly in those logs near the ground.
 All of the buildings are to be electrically heated with the same type of unit, and a careful record kept of the electricity necessary to keep them warm in winter weather.
 All of the test houses feature varying types of materials. Two kinds of logs are used in the buildings-spruce logs and cot tonWood. There are buildings con- structed of both green and dry logs of each variety.
 Various types of insulation also are being checked in the test houses. Four houses are insulated with inexpensive materials avail able locally-three have saWdust insulation and one has moss.
 Later the houses will be famed with blasts from a large wind ma chine, so that MT. Branton may study the effects of air pressure on the several types of buildings. When the experiment is ended, he hopes to be able to say, with car tainty, which of the native lum- bers shows greatest airtightness, which demonstrated most resist ance to damp, and which was most efficiently heated.
 However there's one question that doesn't require his further attention, even though the engi- neer's study has just begun. When 14 little houses, so tiny that the casual passerby mistakes them for privies, cost $4,5OO to build, MT. Branton knows that building costs are high in the Matanuska Valley.

taste of freedom he'd had since
he'd walked out of police head
| quarters.
A voice in one of the gloom
obscured basket-shaped chairs
near him said mildly, THAT you,
Blake? Been wondering when
you'd show up" And a cigar
butt that was all that could be
seen of the speaker glowed red.
Blake had to hang onto the rail
to keep from topping. When
did you get on?" he groaned.
Il was the first one on" Rogers
voice said from the dark. Il got
myself admitted before the gates
were even opened, and" he
chuckled appreciatively - It
thought sure you were going to
miss it."
Rogers knew what this was that
was coming next. Not for nothing
had he been a detective for years.
He knew human nature.
Blake hadn't sought one of his
usual boisterous resorts tonight.
He'd found his way instead to
dingy dump on the South Side.
The detective could scent trap"
mile away as he pushed inside
after him. Blake was sitting
alone, not expansively lording it
over cluster of girls as was his
wont. He wasn't drinking to get
happy. or to forget. He was
drinking to get nerve.
Rogers sat across the room,
fooling with a beer, not taking
any chances on letting it past his
gums, in case it had been drugged.
He had gun on him, but that was
only because he always carried
one; he had absolutely no inten-
ton of using it, not even in self
defense. Because what was COM
ing up now was test. and it had
to be met, to keep the dominance
of the situation on his side.
Rogers saw him get up slowly
from the table. The very way
he walked, the stiff legged gait,
showed that this was the come-on,
that if he followed him now, he
might meet-murder.
The door had closed behind
Blake. Now Rogers moved toward
it in turn. He came out, and
Blake had remained in sight, to
continue the come-on. AS soon
as he saw Rogers had marked him,
he drifted down an alley at that
end of the building that led back
to the garage. That was where it
was going to happen. And then
into a sack, and into one of the
cars, and into Lake Mich. :.
Rogers turned without a mo-
ment's hesitation, went down that
way and turned the corner.

Buck Friend Gets First
Hand View Of Russians

"The United States has prob
ably five years to prepare for a
showdown with Russia
That is the opinion of A. c..
(Buck) Friend, who has returned
to his home here after a stay OF
sixteen months in West Germany,
where he was with the American
civil authorities. He was station
ed at Schweinfurt, near h e
Russian zone of East Germany.
Mr.. Friend says the people Of
western Germany have been in
an extreme state of jitters since
the outbreak of the Korean war.
They feel that they are in the pc
sition of an unarmed man be-
tween two enemies who may be-
gin shooting at each other any
time.
He states that conditions in the
American zone of Germany have
improved greatly within the last
sixteen months. Food and other
supplies are plentiful, the people
are not in want, and they appear
to cherish a strong friendship for
the Americans.
1t is very hard, MIR. Friend says,
for an American to understand
the mentality of the German PEG
pie. They have apparently been
accustomed to do as they were
told and to believe what they
were told to believe.
He feels strongly that the west
German people should be allow
ed to rearm and that the United
States should cement an alliance
with Spain He thinks 1--WE should
begin picking up whatever
friends we can before the show

books and booklets of local au-
thors.
