Cautioning residents of the East. ern Seaboard not to become too complacent - about the danger of air ralds despite the fact none have been attempted fo date, Mr. Olt declared: "The Heinkel Model 177 has as long a range as any alrplage now koown, With a reduced bomb load it can fly the Atlantic and return to it base, and at exceptionally high speed." "The German Luftwaffe," he writes, "retains one major asset-- 1t is the air force most experienced In all the techniques of modern alr warfare, the product-ef years of concentrated effort," in" which Meas originating in Germany and Meas borrowed from other nations have been combined and imple- mented by intensive Gaining and battle experience.

As quoted by The Finan. elal Post, Prof¢ssor Taylor, . "us- Ing his scientific measuring sticks of climate, soil, temperature and other factors of environment, such 883 raw materials," estimates that not until Canada has a population of 50,000,000 will she be near the population saturation point. Indeed, using the standard, Professor Taylor says, Canada could support a population of 100,000,000, He suggests redue- ing that total by about 50 per cent. in order to provide for the retention of the Dominion's higher standard of living. ven with that wise provision, it ig clear that, it the Toronto savant is right, Can. ada can absorb another 40,000,000 people, approximately, without up- setting her economic applecart, Alen this war is over there should be- unequalled opportunities for planning and directing scien- tific Immigration, making selec- tlons from desirable racial stock, from Europe particularly, and so transforming this Dominion into 8 great country numerically ag well as in other respects, 1 Will Do My Payt Pledge of Service by an Amerl- ean War Mother in This Week "Magazine: Starting right now--1 will live my life to save a man, : All my waking hours I will work for tho safety of this man, I need not say to anyone who the man fs, It may be friend or father, hus. band, brother or son, " All that matters fg, | shall see him before me as I work, -I' shall put forth an my effort, a8 if the life of this on me, alone.

She had fled war-torn Europe and returned to the family estate at Kirktown, the mill town where her grandfather built his fortune. As' she gazes at the memorial auditorium bequeathed by her grandfather she overhears a man making disparaging remarks about her family and herself. She recognizes the speaker as Jim Vickers, a former Paris mhews- paperman, ) . . . PENNY LANDS A JOB CHAPTER 11 PEmmy sang "good morning" to & bright and cloudless day, From lier window she could see white plumes of smoke floating lazily up from the valley-hagging. mills, She had realized last night that Kirktown would" he no paradise. - She had known that a community. nestled so close to the smoke of thi steel mills and Use soot of the railroad yards must absorb some blackness, But Penny was not prepaved for the nightmare of ramshackle, broken-down buildings that made up Kirktown. They looked for all -the world as though they were held together with clotheslines and built on foundations of toothpicks, The river was not a stream at all, but a rusty, smelly, steaming sewer. It cut tho town in half, On one side the Kirk mills rose' in black majesty. They were huge, powerful, impressive , and dirty. Central avenue lined 'the other side, its dirty-faced -buildings fronting the river. Two foot bridges crossed street and river, Getoneof thefastestrelicfsever found for headaches, neuritic- pain; neuralgia -- at incredibly low price . .

If every tablet is not stamped "Bayer" in the form of a cross, it is NOT Aspitin, And don't i anybody tell you is. 100 tablets for 98¢ = providing access fo the féneed-in mills, To the vight, as far aé her eye could see, stretched buildings and furnaces and railroad yards ---the Kirk industrial empire, To her left, devoid of all attractive- ness, lay the shattered, bruised, smoky residences and commercial structures that marked the rem- nants of her dream of Kirktown. Though the day had just begun, Penny was already tired. She Parked her car wearily, stifling another urge to leave Kirktown behind her forever. where in this broken-down hodge- podge of derelicts there must be some saving note of charm, In silent depression she walked down Central avenue. She never scen so poor a business street. Merchants showed no pride in their extablishments, Most of the windows had no displays, She wandered up one street and down the other. Only the avenue at.tlie top of the hill, where the John Kirk Memorial Auditorium had been erected, defied the uni- versal ugliness, the teeming mills, a few daring souls had built middle-class homes that blossomed like oases in the sooty desert. Here were Kirke town's only patches of garden. . * - she paused to rest in front of a restaurant whose interior y the most inviting she had since starting her of the -- town. The girl behind Ahe counter ~~ was neatly uniformed. Steel workers, in long-sleeved black shirts despite #e héat of the day, 'sat at the long counter. Penny realized she had been walking for hours, She was thirsty. She walked in and sat down. The girl behind the coun- ter smiled a cheerful greeting as she placed a glass of water in front of Penny. "A glass of milk, please," said. Penny. 2 "Sure, honey," replied the wait- ress. "And don't worry. You'll get the job. 11 put in a word for you with the boss. Chin up, kid. You're in." Penny watched in startled won- der as the "Girl Wanted" sign was lifted out of fhe restaurant window. Then she looked at her- self in the mirror. Her dress no longer wore the crisp look that had endeared it to her. It was wrinkled now. Her face showed unmistakable signs of the smudges she had accumulated during her long walk. This, Penny thought hs she studied the troubled, weary ex- pression on her face, must be the way jobless girls look after a hard day- fruitless search for em- ployiftnt. . * Ll Should she take the job? Here, Penny realized, was a golden opportunity to pierce be- low the surface of Kirktown, to find out for herself what had caused such deterioration. She adjusted heir hair and brushed a fleck of soot from her nose, She , wanted to make a good impres- "sion on "the boss." In a moment he bustled out of "his kitchen, a rotund, excited lit- tle man. He appraised her swift- ly, nodded, "All right," he said, J "you start tomorrow." So Penny Kirk, who used to sleep unti™noon, started her first day's work at Pietro's Restaurant at 6 o'clock the next morning, "Good morning, honey," her friend of yesterday greeted, "My name's Midge Carter, What's yours?"

"Penny Kellogg," the heiress to' the Kirk millions responded, glancing swiftly at the row of breakfast foods on the back counter, "Thanks for the boost, Midge." "Think nothing of it, kid. You didn't need any help. Old Pietro can spot a good waitress the min< ute he sees one." Midge studied Penny's trim figure. "Pll bet you've worked in a lot better beaneries than this one," she com- plimented./ Penny wondered what Midge would say if she knew that her hands had never before lifted a dish, She wondered, too, what her friends would say if they could see her in the white-trimmed green uniform, a triangular "cap perched saucily on her soft curls. She smiled as she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. - "Come on, Penny. There's work to be done," called Midge, "The next turn starts soon." . . *. A turn, Penny learned, was the - shift worked by the men in the mill. From the restaurant win- dow, she could sce steel workers crossing over the foot bridge on their way to work. Penny swung easily into the routine of the restaurant. From Midge she learned to take her work in the spirit of a lark, as though she were picnicking in- stead of laboring, At the expense "of a few nervous dishes, she soon learned to carry the amazing number of things waitresses can manage with skillful hands and wrists, Men sauntered into Pietro's in groups of three or four. Most of them were young. She liked their cheery greetings and their natural courtesy toward her. Later on, storckeepers drifted in to discuss business conditions and the day's headlines over their cups of cof- fee. When the noon rush had ended, Penny felt she had carned the rest and the luncheon Pietro of- fered. From the kitchen came tantalizing odors and Pictro's ex- cited voice. "Sit down, Miss Penny," Pietro said. "I have something special for you." He pushed through the swinging doqr, a steaming dish of spaghetti held aloft for Penny's inspection, "You have 'to cat every bit of "* Pietro insisted. "I made the t sauce especially for you." hovered over the table, ar- ing the basket of white bread and the dish'of cheese. "Eat. It's good for you." * * * > Peiiny. hadi't realized she was #0 hungry. She hadn't believed anything could be so appetizing, Intent on her dinner, she didn't notice the newcomers who swag- gered in. Had she been watching Midge, usually so friendly, she would have been surprised at the cold stare that was her only greeting for them. There were five men in the group. Definitely not steel work- ers, Penny decided, They didn't bother to remove spotless white felt hats as they seated them- gelves. They wore expensive silk sport shirts, vividly colored; trgu- sers that were too carefully _creas- ed, shoes shined to mirror per- fection. Suspenders of tooled leather completed their garish splendor. : Midge took their "black coffee" orders in silence. She served them -..and walked to the other side of- the counter, where she busied her- self ayranging napkins and filling sugar bowls, Then, in a flash, like a cloud- . burst descending suddenly from a clear sky, black fury. hit 'Pietro's restaurant. That was the only way Penny could describe the scene that caught her startled eyes when she turned at the sound of crash- - ing "dishes, (Continued Next "Weck) One French Pilot .. Nabs 140 Italians A single plane of the "Groupe Bretagne," fliers with General _Jacues Leclere's Central African Army .now' moving to the aid of the Allies in North Africa, cap- tured 140 Italian troops. Its pilot who saw the garrison of Italian-held Fort Murzuch, 2,500 air miles southeast of Tri- poli, evacuating their stronghold machine-gunned them until his ammunition , was exhausted. Then he dropped a note threat- ening to open fire with his cannon unless they surrendered, They did. . He had no cannon, New-Born Baby y Needs Dental Care A new-born baby seems to be, eomletely toothless, Actually the crowns of his first set of teeth are practically formed, hidden he neath the gums, And beneath those baby teeth are the begin- ning of the permanent teeth. It Is evident, therefore, that dental aro is a necessity from the time of birth, Baby's food should include ele- ments essential to the building of strong teeth, such.as lime and "worn by Assistant Military Women's sizes 34, "FOR VALOR" "For valor and s Rileis service' in freedom's cause s the medal iN = phosphorous. Milk contains these elements in large quantities and is therefore virtuadly indispens- able in the baby's dict. After infancy, children should be given a glass of milk at each meal, which, together with the milk useq in cooking should pro- vide the child with a quart of milk a day. Vegetables, fruits, eggs and meat should be added to the child's diet as directed by the family physician, Coarse foods that require chewing should be given as the child grows older, for chewing is a substantial aid to development of the teeth and jaws, tL Honey Bees Used To Carry Messages geon Vera Rakhova. It is reported that the Chinese have made ingenious use of honey bees as couriers for carrying mili- tary information back and forth across the fighting front lines. In their work as nectar gath- erers, bees demonstrate an ability to return to the hive from a fairly distant field "in a bee line." Taking advantage of this abil- _ ty, the Chinese, when forced to retreat, sometimes take with them a few bees from a farmer's hive. By microphotography and the use of extremely thin paper, messages are made so light and small that they can be fastened to the bee without interfering with the in- seet's powers of flight. Released with the message, the bee flies swiftly back to its home hive, ~ where the message is picked up, PANELED HOUSEDRESS 14313 By Anne Adams EE Practical; yet with plenty of fashion news----Anne Adams Pat- . tern 4313 is the' perfect choice for the matron-at-home!
