Jan smiled wanly. and drawing
the diamond and sapphire ring
from her finger, dropped it in the
hat.
''Hullo!" the colonel lowered
his voice and raised his heavy
eyebrows. will Max approve?"
Il don't know. He's not here"
Sensing a lovers quarrel, the
colonel said no more, but he re-
flected, uneasily, that they had :
started rather early.
The magical operation contin-
ued. The treasure was trans
ferred to a linen bag, which was
then tied tightly, the knots being
sealed with a guests signet ring.
A ballot-box was introduced.
Phil Dwyer distributed little
scribbling-blocks and pencils.
Each guest was asked to think
of any spot within a reasonable
radius of the house and write it
down. Entries were folded to fit
into the slot of the box. When all
had voted, the colonel removed
the lid and tipped the voting
papers out onto his table.
Three different volunteers di-
vided and subdivided the votes,
each time into two parts, one of
which they rejected. When, by
means of this process, only three
papers remained, the youngest
guest was called upon to make
final choice, and to read out what
was written there. She read:
Beside the old we'll in DR..
Underhill's garden"
There was laughter, part ironi-
cal and part sympathetic, when
those who knew told those who
didn't that the spot chosen was
nearly a mile away! But the
words struck a chill to JAMS
heart. ''Dr. Underhill's garden"
It was to DR.. Underhill's garden
that Max had gone!
COLONEL WHARTON raised his
hand. The challenge is accepted.
Nothing is impossible to a magi-
clan. Before / disintegrate the
contents of this sealed bag and

the place, and my cars right out
side"
Now choose two other vol
unteers.
Every man there volunteered,
but Jan selected General Vondy,
with whom her father had served,
and MIR. Attenburg. the family
solicitor.
Colonel Wharton picked up
the sealed bag.
An attractive young widow
who had contributed a diamond
bracelet, whispered to her escort
(owner of the wallet in the bag),
'"You haven't seen this before,
Ray. You're going to get the
fright of your life!"
Il command you" the colonel
intoned impressively, ito fly to
the old well in DR.. Underhill's
garden"
And he tossed the bag into the
heart of the blazing fire.
A moment of stupefied silence
followed, broken only by the
widows laughter, as fragments
of red hot wire, bits of glass and
metal glowed in the flames.
Threaded pearls were seen ap-
parently to dissolve. :.
JAN drove along snowy roads,
over a surface which, in the
headlights, semed to be made OF
powdered diamonds. Not another
car was sighted during the jour-
ney. This may have been for
tunate, for although she drove
with mechanical steadiness, JAMS
thoughts were far away.
Max couldn't possibly love her
or he wouldn't have left her,
on this night of all other nights,
and stolen off to see someone
else. He must have fixed a meet
ing that morning, when she had
seen him coming back. Then
there had been a change of plan,
and Greta had called him to
make a later date.
Why, Jan asked herself des-
perately, had he ever become
engaged to her, if it was Greta he
really loved? And, whatever had
happened between them, why
couldn't Greta leave him alone,
nOW?
Fate had stepped in. BY a

Make Them Eat More


Illinois livestock specialists re-
port feeding antibiotics in hog ra-
tions VIII help get hogs ready for
the best market price in August.
Antibiotics have the effect Of
speeding gains in that they stimu-
late the hogs to eat more feed. And
more feed intake means more pork
on the hog.
These specialists point out that
antibiotics will make your feed
cost more, but pay for themselves
in that the hog is ready for market
in a shorter time and with more
weight.

Garden Irrigation

For home gardeners who
irrigate their plots in dry
weather, here is a tip. Place
the end of the hose on a board,

Il take great pleasure in COM
mending you, John D. Small, TDC.
USN, Surface Anti-Submarine De-
velopment Detachment, Key West,
Florida, for your prompt action
and heroic efforts In attempting
to rescue william Ernest Chest
nut from q gas filled building. At
about IT'S on q November 1852
while passing Building 50 on q
bicycle you were summoned by
Booker T. Washington Of the Orkin
Exterminating Company. Upon ar
rival at the building which was
being fumigated beneath canvas
tent by deadly poisonous gas, you
were informed by Washington that
he thought be heard coughing In
side. After listening intently you
verified his suspicion and with
grave risk to yourself attempted to
enter the building without 4 gas
mask. Being forced t0 withdraw by
the overpowering gas fumes you
then summoned the Seaplane Base
rescue squad and notified the Sea-
plane Dispensary and the Naval
Ordnance Unit Duty Officer. Upon
arrival Of the rescue squad you
assisted John I. Stout, q fireman,
who was able 10 enter the build
ing and carry out Chestnut.
"Perceiving that Chestnut was
still alive you placed q gas warn.
ing sign In the stretcher beside
him indicating the type Of gas to
which be had been exposed, thus
insuring immediate and correct
treatment for Chestnut when he
reached the hospital. Your daring
attempt to enter the building and
your intelligent action before and
subsequent thereto were the ut
most that could have been done
in attempting TO save Chestnut's
life, and were In line with the
highest traditions Of the service. |"
An additional recommendation
has been made to Washington that
Small be given q Letter Of Com.
mendation By the Secretary Of the
Navy.

NAVY WINS
MASS AWARD

The Department of the Navy has
been awarded the 1852 National
Association of Suggestion Systems
Achievement Award for Outstand-
ing Promotion of Suggestions, the
Under Secretary of the Navy Fran
els P. Whitehair, announced re-
Gently.
With this accomplishment, the
Navy becomes the first Govern
ment agency to win this award
since its conception in 194e. The
Navy is the only Government
agency simultaneously winning
both the MASS Particiution Award
and the MASS Promotion Award.
Each year the MASS presents
awards on a national basis to
member companies and Govern
ment agencies for outstanding
achievement in increasing en-
ployee participation in the sugges-
tive programs.
In 1949, the Navy won the "Par-
ticipation Award" in competition
with other Government agencies.
Winning the 1852 Promotion
Award, however, the Navy was
adjudged as having the best sug-
gestion program among all COM
petitors in Industry and Govern
ment.
The best measure Of effective
ness of this promotion campaign
is reflected in the results achiev-
ed. During the 1851 calender year
/. the Navy received 67,076 sug-
gestions, adopted 1880, and grant.
ed awards amounting to $456, $3.50,
realizing net savings of $11, ,5S7 ,967
from the program. The average
suggestion award was $27.12.
Winning this award is a tribute
to the splendid work of awards
program administrators whose pro-
motional effort made such valuable
contributions; to management Off
cials and supervisors whose sup
port of the program was indispen-
sable; and to the thousands of
Navy employees who respond en-
Enthusiastically to the promotional
effort by offering their ideas for
improving operations in the Naval
Establishment.
Through this combines endeavor,
the Navy viii realize an annual
saving of more than eleven and
one half million defense dollars in
addition to other Understandable
benefits which improve employee
morale.
The sum total of these benefits
is Of incalculable value to the
Navy in performing its defense
mission.

| Late last year CDR L C. Lup-
pens, Base Public Works Officer,
was directed to investigate the
possibilities Of providing improve
ment to the Key West Aqueduct
to alleviate an anticipated water
shortage during the present tour
ist season.
After considerable engineering
study a plan was developed which
would increase the flow by ap-
proximately 20 per cent and could
be accomplished within the time
allowed. The plan consisted es-
sentially of minor notifications to
piping in the Florida City Pump
ing Plant and installation of a
temporary pumping station 16
miles above Marathon on Long
Key.
The idea was promptly approved
and the land for the pumping faci-
lities was made available by Mr..
Brooks Bateman, General Mana
ger, Overseas Road and Toll Bridge
District.
Replacement section of pipeline
with header connections and sue.
ton plus discharge piping were
prefabricated from pipe in stock.
The pumps were obtained from
stock at Charleston Naval Ship.
yard on a loan basis. Mr.. H. L.
Martin, General Manager of Flo
rida Keys Cooperative Association
provided electrical power to the
site.
When actual installation was
made, the line pressure was cut
at midnight / Dec to permit al
teration to the piping at Florida
City Pumping Plant and also to
insert the new section on Long
Key. Pressure was restored the
following morning with very few
persons aware that anything had
happened.
The headers were installed and
pumps in place ready for test by
10 Dec. All tests have been COM
pleted and the station is now
operating on a 24-hour schedule.
Its capacity is expected to meet
the demand Of both the city of
Key West as well as the upper
keys until the completion of the
Tavenier Plant sometime in May
1858.
Actual construction was under
the general supervision Of Mr.. C.
]. Cornell, Master Mechanic, Ma
val Base. Mr.. T. H. Griggs, Chief
Quarterman, Florida City Pump
ing Station was responsible for pre-
fabrication and present operation
of the pumps at the site. Both
men have received letters Of CON-
mendation from ADM Duke for
their outstanding accomplishment.
