The Weekly Diet For Soldiers, Sailors A soldier or a sailor eats about one and a half times as much as a civilian, says the St. Thomas Times-Journal. He reduces civilian supplies only by the differences between-what he ate as a civilian and what he eats now--the dif- ference between b% pounds a day compared with 3% pounds in civil life, The U.S. War Food Administration says the average weekly diet for a man in train- "Ing includes: 6 1-6 pounds . of meat; 7 eggs; 3% pounds of fresh milk; 13% pounds of evaporated milk; fee eream once a week; at. least 1 pound of butter, marga- rine and other fats; 4% pounds of bread, cereal and other grains; 5 pounds of potatoes; 5 pounds of fresh and canned vegetables; 4% pounds of tomatoes and ci- trus fruit; 2 pounds of = other fruit.

Perhaps thls is one of the reasons why Hitler is so anxious about the Pass and hopes that his enemies may be held gouth of the Alps, suggests Science Service, Berchtesgaden has very little strategic value, It is not on the route to Berlin. Jt is a city of around 10,000 population, noted for its beautiful scenery, its extens-- ive salt mines, an early Gothle abbey church, its winter ski runs, and its toy-making industries, Brenner Pass, however, is of the greatest strategic value. It is the only direct route which the Ger- mans may use to enter or leave Italy. It is the route over which all supplies must move. Through it extends a railroad and an excel lent highway. The season of snow will descend upon it any day now, and from that day on through the winter, passage may be maintained only with great difficulty. Snows are reported to be heavy. At the highest point the pass is 4,500 feet above sea level.

Now, ac. cording. to an article in the pro- Nazi Alge.ieen Handelsblad, quoted by the Netherlands Infor- mation Bureau, nothing is left of it except 76 of the oldest type boats with a total tonnage of 9,000. The fleet's crews used to be composed of men borfl to the sea, whose fathers and grandfathers had been fishermen before them. Their boats plied both the North Sea and the Zuider Zee. There were 255 boats for dragnet fish- ing, 652 trawlers 4 . Seventy-five per cent. of the yearly catch was made up of herring. In 1038, the last year for which official" figures are available, 210,000,000 pounds of this fish were landed. tually everything brought ashore is requisitioned for "export" to Germany, or for the use of the occupation troops. .

For just an instant he saw. face at the window, the dace of a masked man, The pane was open, and the shot had been fired at a distance of about ten feet, Dave drew, and fired back al- most upon the instant, but still too late. The face had already dis- appeared, and the slug merely whined across the mesa, over which the faintest light of dawn was just beginning to appear. Sim- ultaneously Dave heard the sound of a body scrambling through the dense brush at the rear of the cabin, Dave thrust his gun back into its holster and leaped toward the door, Stopped for an instant, turn- ed back and looked at Hooker. The lamp upon the shelf cast only a . faint reflection, but it was light enough for Dave who had seen death often enough, to realize that the old man's days were ended. Hooker's dream had come true. In another instant Dave was through the entrance of the cabin and running across the mesa in the direction that the assassin had taken. He could stj]l hear him crashing through the undergrowth, but in the faint light of dawn Dave wasted half a minute before he could find :the trail. By the time he had done so, the murderer had mounted his horse and was gallop- ing away down the mesa. * . . By the time Dave could get back and mount his bay there would be not the slightest charce of captur- "ing the man, who was now disap- - pearing in the tangled growth of jackpine that separated the upper mesa from the-one beneath it. Nevertheless, Dave ran back and, mounting hls horse bare- back, forced it along the trail through the scrub. and galloped to the mesa's edge. It was beginning" to grow. fairly light, but nothing was to be seen. The only living thing was the buzzard, harbinger of death, still floating up the upper currents of the air. » Wherever the murderer had gone, he had certainly not ridden down into the valley. He must have struck some. trail in the almost impenetrable scrub that rose® like a low wall along the mesa's edge. Reluctantly Dave turned the bay and rode back, It was half light In the cabin row, and Davé blew out the lamp. He looked once more at -Hooker, The blood had ceased to flow, and the old man was ly- ing white and stark upon the bed. Death must have been jnstantane- ous. .; A . Dave saddled his bay and rode oft down the trail in the direction of Mesgcal. There was little that he could -do now, except inform Sheriff Coggswell and join a posse _..to take up the trail of Hooker's murderer. As he rode, he revolved in his mind all possible reasons for the dastardly deed. 'Had the assassin supposed old Hooker to be in possession of a hoard of gold, and fired before he had seen Dave in the room? v . Or was Lonergan Involved, and had old Hooker talked too much in the Wayside Rest? The shrill neighing of broncs re- called Dave to his surroundings. Emerging upon the lower mesa, he saw Lofs seated on Black Dawn, with the rest of the herd massed near the scrub and look- ing at him. Dave rode up to the girl. "I got some bad news for you," he sald. "May as well tell you right away, Your dad's been shot dead. Killed less than half an hour ago by a murderin' skunk who fired through the window, while we was talkin' together. I went after him, but he got away from me." . * * Lois' expression hardly changed, only that set, bitter look came into her eyes again, and her mouth hardened. "So you killed him, 'aid you?" she said. "For what? Did you think he had money?

Meantime, combine corn starch, corn syrup, salt and "sugar well. Blend with cold milk.

Stir into the slightly beaten egg or eggyolks; return-again to double boiler and cook over gently boiling water until thick (3 to 6 minutes), and chill.

"I'm ridin' for the sheriff. You'd best go back and wait in the cabin. There wasn't nothing I could do for him. He was killed Instantly," The girl's expression didn't change. She sat Black Dawn, watching Dave intently. Suddenly she swung round on the horse's back and gave a shrill whistle, In- stantly the broncs disappeared through the scrub. And in another instant Lois had kicked the out- law horse in the flanks and was galloping widlly in the direction of Mescal. Dave tried to follow her, but the black had the speed of the wind, He galloped at full speed down- hill, over declivitles down which the bay could only pick his way cautiously, to avoid plunging head- long. By the time Dave reached the lower slopes, Lois was a mere speck in the distance. . * . Before he reached the neck of the valley, Dave saw Lois" riding back, accompanied by two men, one of whom he recognized as Bherlff Coggswell.'The other, from the badge he wore, was evidently a deputy. As Dave rode up, the two drew awiftly and covered him. Dave, without raising his hands, reined in grimly beside the sher- iff, who nodded to the deputy. The latter leaned forward and extract- ed Dave's gun from his holster, at the same time running his hands over his sides in search of a concealed weapon. So yuh think I killed Mr. Hook- er?" Dave inquired. "I was on my way to tell you." "You can tell me now, Bruce," answered Coggswell. "It Hooker's no partic'lar hurry, I reckon." * Ld * Dave briefly recounted his story of the killing, while Coggswell and the deputy listened in stony sil- ence. Lois, seated on Black Dawn, watched him with hate in her eyes, but not a sound came from her lips either. "So yuh claim Hooker woke up before dawn and started talkin'," grunted the sheriff. "And while you two was talkin', this masked feller shot him through the. win. der? How about that gun, Sims?" "One ca'trldge fired," sald the deputy, who had been examining it. "A forty-five." "How about that, Bruce?" asked Coggswell. y "I told you I fired a shot at the murderer. I couldn't get further being almost dark." "Well, now, I'll tell yuh, Bruce," sald Coggswell. "Yore story sounds kinder queer to me, And yore pay- in' that two hundred yesterday, and takin' advantage of Hooker to go pardners when he was drunk-- which ddn't hold good in law--was queerer. And yestidday yuh rode up to the Cross-Bar and picked a quarrel with Curran and beat him up. All of which puts yuh under suspicion for the murder of Hook- er, Bruce.

This is an addition to the personal ration. School children get the extra allowance through school dinners, factory workers through workers' canteens, office workers through the British res- taurants, the business executive through taking meals at his club, Now the agricultural worker gets his ration in a hot pie. The ministry also allows an additional ration of cheese to farm laborers and others doing heavy work in the open air.
