This necessitated refrigeration, and one method was to sirap egg crates on the decks of ships and hope ocean breezes would keep them cool, The crates occupied much space and present. ed a loading problem. Stevedorea, attempting to un- Joad in the dark at the highest possible speed and perhaps in available, casual ated warchouses were caused rather heavy egg ties. Second, frozen eggs were ship ped. This eliminated the dangers of breakage, but not the problem of constant refrigeration en route and upon arrival. Dehydrated Eggs Finally, dehydrated eggs were shipped and this Js the method now in use. The eggs aro dried into a powder. They can't break; they don't require refrigeration and they take up much less space than either the whole or frozen product. When dehydrated eggs were first sent abroad, there were only 16 drying plants in the United States. Today there are SH and will total about 115. Together, they can pro- vido about 400 million pounds of dried eggs a year, Until the shipment of dried eggs the Englishman's ration allotment approximated one fresh egg per month during the winter months and four in the summer. America's dried eggs add the equivalent of four shell eggs a month to the Englishman's diet. Apple Juice To Go Off Market Will Be No More After Current Stocks Are Used When he current stock of apple juice has been exhausted there will be no more, officials of the War Prices Board admitted in ex- plaining why _the recent doubling of the consumer cost had not vio- lated the price ceiling. Apple juice which has been touted by the Department of Agri ported pineapple and. grapefruit Juice, has been selling at two 20- 'ounce cans for 29 cents against the level 'of a few months ago of two cans for 15 cents. The villain in the piece has been the Metals Controller of the Muni tions and Supply Department who banned the uso of tin for packing Stocks of Eastern Canadian clear apple juice quickly were ex- hausted and not replaced, opening the market to a Western Canadian product. The apple juice from the West, processed more expensively sold out there at two cana for 25 cents which was set as the "celling." So when the western packers entered the eastern market, their price of two tins for 29 cents was not con- sidered out of line by the Board. When this western pack has been finished, there will be no more apple juice unless the packers find a substitute for tin, a search which go far has heen unsuccessful, Plants To Germany Germany is now trying to move -whole factories, machines and workers, from occupied France to |.

O'BRIEN THE STORY: A note, written by a man on the eve of his 'exe- ution for murder, has brought Clyde Dawson to Chicago. Daw- son, Canadian Intelligence De: partment investigator, is on the trail of sples operating against mand. En route from Canada he has captured a would-be assassin, Paul Dexel, member of the spy gang. In Chicago' Dawson finds a photo of an American soldier mur- dered by Lemoy Statler, tiie hang- ed man, in a rooming house where lives Carole Fisk, the mysterious girl referred to in Statler's cryptic note, + | Sed ON THE SPOT CHAPTER VI ) Dawson walked slowly to the fireplace and picked the photos graph off the ledge for closer ex- amination, Yes, those features were unmistakable -- the four-inch sear on the left check had been retonclied, as he could sec by bending the photograph to the light. ' The presence of tho photo here placed the dead soldier squarely into the mystery, adding a further complication. Just where (did he fit in with the girl Carole Fiske? His -name--Dawson had to think twice before recalling it--was Pri- vate Bernard Skrol. "What do you want?" Dawson whipped around he hadn't heard anyone coming along the hall. Framed in the archway. leading into the room was a tall, heavy man with, bushy eyebrows and harsh features. His unfriendly lousekepeer who had let him-in- was almost startling. His right hand was buried deep in a sport jacket pocket. "1 came to sce Miss Fiske) "What about?" Dawson laughed easily. "Well now, you are inquisitive--it's a personal message for Miss Fiske know --you said a message from Lemoy," rasped, the other. "Spill it, smart guy!" Dawson's smile faded. "Go. plumb. to hell! he said _ simply. The man took a step toward the investigator, lifting his hand in his right coat pocket sugges- tively. 'But he halted as a girl entered the room. . * * * One glance told Dawson she was Carole Fiske--the girl of the ex-.. ecuted Lemoy's snapshot. "What's going op here, John?" her voice cut in sharply. "This guy says he has a mess- age for you from Lemoy--I told him he better speak up or else .." "Shut wp, John, you'ro acting like a fool," she said, Then lurn- ing to Dawson, "Who are yon?" "You wouldn't know me by name --1 just happened to meet Lemoy a few days ago in Halifax. When I mentioned that I had to visit Chicago on husiness for my com- pany he asked me to give you a buzz and must I tell him, too?" he pointed to the glowering John.

A swell fellow, Lemoy, I liked htm very . . ." "Youre a lar!" snarled the man called John, s His role of gond-matured salesman vanished in a surge of hatred. With one quick step he came within rango and his right fist lashed out with sledge-hammer force. John crashed over backwards, one of the old-fashioned chairs brecking under his weight. As he hit the floor, Dawson dived--ono hand clutching the downed man's throat while a knee pinned the pocketed hand on the floor. "When 1 lift my knee" he growled into John's car, "pull ont that hand--empty--or I'll flatten that 'nose: on your ugly face." His knee Jifted a few inches and John's hand slid slowly out of the pocket. : With a quick flip, Dawson rolled the big fellow on his side, dipped into his jacket and came-ont with a black automatic. Straightening np, he gave his clothes a quick brushitig and walked to the girl "When I go." he said, handing her the gum, "give this back to your hoy friend--better advise him to stop playing with this thing." His tone lowered, "I'll be at the Eddington Hotel." Back in hig hotel room, Dawson let the cold water tap run on the bleeding knuckles of his hand, The girl interested Dawson. Of cowrze, ho had had little time to study her and (he conversation had been limited. But she was really a beautiful creature. And from what he had been able to judge she didn't seem the hard type. Yet she was sure of herself. Of one thing, however, Dawson was certain--she would get in touch with him somehow, here at tho hotel. Ife couldn't have said her interest about Lemoy yet .. . what made John so positive that Dawson had* been lying? Could he have heard- of Lemoy's death? That was hardly likely. Everything had been closely su- pervised in Newfoundland. Any- way, he had said he met Dawson , in Ilalifax . . . ah, that was prob- ably it--John knew Lemoy had not been in Halifax "a few days' ago"! / Even so, the girl would ponder over the visit of the friendly sales- man and wonder if, perhaps, he really had met Lemoy in Halifax .. .. the telephone cut shrilly into tho room's silence. Dawson controlled the excite- ment in his voice as he picked up the receiver. It was the girl "I'm sorry about this evening," she sid in a low tone. A would "Think nothing of it, Miss Fiske," Manghed Dawson. "How's John feeling?" "Pleaco . . .. I would rather not discuss it now. May I meet you and have a talk tonight?"
