An illustration of these varying methods is the delivery of eggs to sngland under the Lease-Lend Act, These shipments have undergone geveral trangformations.singe their inception a year-and-a-half ago. First, whole shell eggs--tho kind you buy at a grocery store, were shipped abroad. This necessitated refrigeration, and one method was to strap 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. _ Stevedores, attempting to un- Joad in the dark at the highest possible speed and "perhaps in bombed areas where no refriger- ated warehouses were available, caused rather heavy egg casual 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 is 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 product. When dehydrated eggs were first sent 'abroad, there were only 16 drying plants in the United States, Today there are S85 and within a few months will total about 1156. "vide 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 faur 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 the current stock of apple juice has been exhausted there will be no more, officials of the War Prices Board admitted in ex- plaining why tho recent doubling of the consumer cost had not vio- ed tl ceiling. Apple juice which has touted by the Department of Agri culture as the substitute for im- 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 {iso of tin for packing fruit juices. Stocks of Eastern Canadjan clear apple juice quickly were' ex- hausted and' not replaced, opening F the niarket toa Western Canadimi-- product. The apple juice from the West, processed mole expensively sold out there at two cana for 25 cents which was set as the "ceiling." 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 there will be no more apple juice unless the packers find a substitute for tin, a search which go far has heen unsuccessful, 'T'o Transfer French Plants To Germany Germany is now trying to move whole factories, machines and workers, from occupied France to Germany.

W. O'BRIEN MURDER IN FERRY COMMAND 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 the R.A.F. Bomber Ferry Com. 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, the hang- ed man, in a rooming house where lives Carole Fisk, the mysterious girl referred to in Statler's cryptic note, - * * * ON THE SPOT CHAPTER VI Dawson walked slowly to the fireplace and picked the photo- graph off the ledge for closer ex- amination. Yes, those features were unmistakable -- the four-inch sear on the left check had been retouched, as he could sec by bending the photograph to the light. The presence, of the 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 thegoarchway leading into the room was a tall, heavy man with bushy eyebrows lhousekepeer swho had let him In was almost startling. His right hand was baried deep in a sport jacket pocket. : "1 came lo-sea Miss, Fiske. "What about?' Dawson laughed easgily. "Well now, you are inquisitive--it's a personal message for Miss Fiske aid 0) ped 'Spill it, smart guy! Dawson's smile faded. "Go plumb to hell!" he said simply.

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 -on. here, John?" her voice cut Jn sharply, "This guy says he has a mess- him he better speak up or else .." "Shut up, John, you'ro acting like a fool," she said. Then turn- ing to Dawson, "Who are you?" "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 Juzz and <5 must I tell him, "too?" he pointed to the glowering John, "Don't mind the meeszage!"

Dawson grinned, "that ho warned me you are NOT Hedy Lamaar." "Was there nothing else? Did he say where he was going?" "No," shrugged Dawson. "He ap- parently wasn't sure where he would be going. He gave me the impression it would be a long trip. A swell fellow, Lemoy, I liked him very ..."" "You're a liar!" snarled the man called John. * . His role of good-natured salesman vanished in a surge of hatred. With one quick step he came within range and his right fist lashed out with" aledge-hammer force. John crashed over backwards, one of - the old-fashioned chairs breaking 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 out that hand--empty--or I'll flatten that nose on your ugly face." His knee lifted a few inches and -John's hand slid slowly out: of tho - pocket. . With a quick flip, Dawson rolled the big fellow _on his side, dipped into his jacket and came out with a black automatic. Straightening up, he gave his clothes a quick brushing and walked to the girl "When I go," he said, handing her the gun, "give this back to your hoy friend--better advise him to stop playing with this thing." His tone lowered, "I'll be atthe Eddington Hotel." Back in his hotel room, Dawson let the cold water tap run on the bleeding knuckles of his hand. The girl interested Dawson. Of courze, he had had little time to study her and the 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 touch with 'him somehow, here at tho hotel. He couldn't have said enough to do more than arouse "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 Halifax . .. ah, that was prob- ably it--John knew Lemoy had not heen in Halifax "a few days ago"! over the visit of the friendly sales- man and wonder if, perhaps, he really had met Lemoy in Halifax . the telephone cut shrilly into the room's silence. s ss 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 szid ina low tone. "I would " "oo. "Think nothing of it, Fiske," laughed Dawson, John feeling?" "Pleago . . .-1 would rather not discuss it now. May I meet you and have a talk tonight?" "Certainly. .*. anywhere and anytime." "Thank you," she paused for an fnstant.
