IT'S BETTER IT'S BUCKLEY'S THAT'S WHY Raid On Berlin Involved 60,000 Nearly 60,000 men were involved in the tremendous task of carry- ing out the recent RAF.-R CAF. raid on Berlin, history's greatest acrial assault. One station commander said approximately 50 men were work- ing on the ground for every --- bomb that ot into the air. It took 4.000 men about five hours to load the bombs. Some 7,000 flying personnel were briefed fo: the raid. : The planes used well over 1,- 000,000 gallons of gasoline, many thousand "gallons of oil and a great volume of fluid for their hydraulic underéarriages, deicing svstems and various pumps. Among the advance chores were the preparation of 7,000 flying suits and the loading of 730.000 rounds of machine-gun ammunition, One All-Purpose Outfit For Princess Princess Elizabeth, who receives no more clothing coupons than any other Englishwoman, is making one all-purpose outfit serve all win- ter. She has worn the same dress, coat, hat, shoes and gloves and has carried the same handbag every | time she has been photographed since Dec. 22, The outfit has served for wed- dings at Windsor and Westminster Abbey, at a football match at Wembley and for shopping expedi- tions. -- eo ITT Le 111110% Regulator is DR. CHASI KIDNEY JIE (NAVA: . Germans Flying Captured Forts English Speaking Units Man Captured Flying Fortresses The creation of special, English- speaking Nazi units, to man cap- tured Flying Fortresses and use them for sneaking into or along- side of an *American bomber for- mation is reported. The official AATF publication "Alr Forces" says that American pilots have reported several instances of unidentified B-17's appearing in their formation or flying along out of gun range but parallel with the flight of the formation. te "They engage in mock air battles with Nazi fighters," the publication says, "and attempt to work out new tactics which will give their fighters more of a chance against our big bombers, "Only crews who speak perfect English are chosen to man+ the bombers. To make things as real as possible, the members have nothing to do with other German airmen, and have contact with the regular Luftwaffe only through liaison officers. "They plan their tactics with great secrecy and try to act like Americans. After each 'battle, the liaison officer makes a lo g report to the fighter group, pointing out mistakes and making suggestions." Air Forces also said the Germans have been using men they call "Kommandos," assigned the job of recovering Allied aircraft still fit for use. This unit is made up of mechanics who have worked abroad. Nazis Counting On' 3 New Weapons . . , Richard Mowrer, famous Ameri- week he "had learned on good au- thority" that the Germahs are count- ing on three new weapons to meet the sccond front invasion. These arc: Monster tanks, weighing 120 tons or more; a new type of ack- ack shell; a more destructive aer- ial torpedo. The aerial torpedo has already been used against the allies, but it is still in the experimental stage, it is believed. The monster tanks have not been in action yet. They are being pro- duced in sections in different fac- tories in the Reich and Czecho- Slovakia and are not being as- sembled in any one factory, in or- der to maintain secrecy. Various parts, on completion, are being shipped to special army assembly plants in front areas, where no foreign workers are used. By build- ing sections of these new tanks in separate factories, the Germans are able to use foreign labor without revealing just what the finished product is going to be. The main characteristic of the new ack-ack shell is its greater area of fragmentation. The aerial torpedoes are said to have more precision through radio control. The new ack-ack shells ar. now in mass production. Novel Chair Set ' Crochet hook and embroidery needle go hand in hand to create this decorative chair set.

Known as "Under Fire One" the first test starts innocently enough during a "break off" for a smoke. As the men relax, con. cealed machine guns give them their first baptism of fire. Reac- tions are varied. Some drop to the ground instantly and seck cover. Others stare blankly at their of- ficer awaiting orders, while the remainder stand and try to spot the gunners. "This helps the men get over the initial shock of being un- der fire," a officer pointed out. "Under Fire Two" teaches the men to work under fire and keep their weapons in good condition, Advancing to a shallow crawl trench, behind © crest screening machine guns from - their view, the men receive the order "down." Flat. on their faces and dragging their rifles they squirm into the trench inching their way along crabstyle with fees and elbows, Explosions, buried on both sides of the trench erupt. Mud show- ers down on the creeping men. Be- tween explosions they hear the hum of ilying leaa. Au officer's voice can be heard above the din: 'You wonder why we make you run!. Come on! Come on! Don't stop! Keep that pack down! Watch that rifle!" "Under Fire Three," mentally, presents the most difficult test. ny ER FIRE THREE" This course is laid out in alternate crawl and fire lanes on a hiliside. Machine guns placed at the bot- tom of the hill are sighted so that bullets strike the slope: while the soldiers creep down marked strips. Again explosions add realism. The men crawl toward the guns and can follow the flight of the tracers. "They seem to be coming straight at you like miniature sky rockets," said one soldier. "Bullets and Bayonets" is the final under fire test. Commanded by an officer a section loads and "Fixes bayonets." Guns clatter as they move at a slow double, "hit- ting tlie dirt" as explosions rend the air. Plowed ground, barbed wire, tranches and a fence are crossed. Targets pop up and the advancing soldiers open fire. On reaching the hill they crawl to the crest to open fire as if harrassing a retreating enemy. To impress upon 'the men the firepower of infantry, night dem- onstrations are held. Tracers stream into. the sky at a parachute flare, to illustrate how the infan- -fry can protect itself against low strafing enemy planes. Nightwork completed, the men swap stories around a fire then crawl into blankets under pine branches. But modern warfare doesn't always permit sound sleep --nor does modern training. Dur- ing the day the bivouac 'area has been mined. At 2.30 a.m. the din starts. Sleepy-cyed soldiers rush for rifles amid explosions and the warning cry of "gas." The penalty of burning, running eyes will be paid if a soldier hasn't kept his respirator handy. An hour later if ali goes well the men will get some: _ sleep.

Some Miss Pleasure Of Going To Church It would appear axiomatic that the right kind of Sunday includes church attendance, but unfortun- ately, some people, satisfied with a life not quite complete, allow them- selves to miss this pleasure, says the New York Times. i The trip to chutch "should be made on foot, if feasible, "The head is up, with the sense of welldoing, and the lungs are full of brisk, fresh air. The soul is at peace with the world and the demeanor is cheerful, The churchigoer who is in the appropriate frame of mind lets his thoughts dwell on others, wishes them as well off as he, and holds in his purse a generous con- tribution, which will doubly bless the giver and the receiver, It need not greatly matter whether the ser- mon is of good or indifferent qua« lity; the main thing is to be in church, and to depart uplifted. Coat "well ROSSEAU D WN CHAPTER XX But then she realized that this oncoming horse was neither Black Dawn nor. Hooker's, and with a little gasp of relief she sank back against the bunk, A moment later Curran straightened himself. He had seen the horseman: rounding the curve of the trail and recog- nized him, LS The rider pulled In a little dis- tance away and hailed, glancing suspiciously about him. "It's all right, Mr. Ferris," called Curran. "I got her here and no- body else." Ferris rode up to the entrance and dismounted. "I got your mes- sage," he said, "but I didn't know if I could find my way here. At first I told Pedro he'd have to bring me, and after he'd gone I thought I see if I could find the way alone." "So yuh didn't meet Pedro? I sent him back for yuh," said Cur- ran. He had planned Ferris' ad- vent for a little later, and the dis- turbance of his plans momentarily disconcerted him. "Come in. 1 got her, like I told yuh, and Pedro gave Sheriff Coggswell an idea of where that murderer's hanging' out." Lois ran forward. "Mr. Ferris help me," she pleaded. "Take me away. This man kidnaped me this morning. He--he.."" Curran scowled, "I'll put her in the next room, an then we kin talk business, Ferris," he said, picking up the gag and rope from the ta- ble, where he had deposited them. Lois, utterly worn out, and real- izing that Ferris, who was stand- ing with averted head, had no in- tention.of aiding her, was incapable of any resistance worth mentioning. In a couple of minutes Curran had her gagged again and carried her -to the smaller room. After bind- ing her securely, he went back to where the ranchman was stand- ing. "I don't like this business, Cur ran," mumbled Ferris. "That girl will overhear everything." "Well, that couldn't be helped," answered the foreman. "Maybe Sheriff Coggswell won't find that cowpoke, and anyways, by the time I git through with her, she'll be all ready to hitch up with me and help run the ranch house. Nice little housekeeper yo're goin' to have, Ferris." * & * "Pedro told me a certain party's comin' about sundown," said [Fer- ris. "Yeah, Lonergan'll be here. 1 baited the trap by tellin' him I got the girl and she was ready to make some int'restin' disclosures, and how you was comin' here to hear them." "Curran, we can't--can't kill Lon- ergan with her in the next room!" whispered the ranchman. "Nope, we'll get him outside. Leave that to me," answercd Cur- ran. "You saw him yesterday?" "Yep, he drove up to the house and demanded my answer to his Broposal,. | stalled him at first, like you said, and when he insisted I told him where I'd see him first." "That's the stuff, Ferris. a drink," said the foreman, pour- ing out a stiff measure of whisky into the cup. Ferris took it with shaking hand and drained the con- tents. "I'm trusting you, Curran," he said. "I'm not imaginin' you're comin' in with me out of friendly feelin'. I've convinced you that it's to your advantage, and I'm willin' to sign that paper givin' you a third of the ranch. I wrote it out and brought it along. You can read it." He drew a document from his pocket and unfolded it. "Fine," said Curran, laying it on the table. "I'll read it later." "Of course we'll have to wait till we get back before signin' it," said Ferris. "We got to have wit nesses." "Well, we got two, ain't we?" roared the foreman, "That girl and Lonergan." "Lonergan?" cried the ranchman, "Sure, that's what 1 said. We'll make him sign before we bump him off." "Don't talk so loud!" whispered Fertis. Have. "Here, take another drink and keep yore nerves steady," replied Curran contemptuously. "We're all in this up to the neck. When Lon- ergan comes, I'm goin' to string him along "a little bit. yo're goin' to be the innocent vic- tim. He" thinks Ho, ho!" "Ho, hol" echoed Ferris. = But there was a note of uncertainty in his voice, that of a bewildered man, striving to steer himself through currents that are bearing him away. "Listen!" Curran "whispeced. The hoofteats of another horse could be heard coming along the trail. Ferris was shaking. "Lonergan!" he mumbled. "Maybe Pedro come back. But tie tvouldn't have titne to make the round trip," Curran whispered back, pressing his body against the wall and peering out through the en- trance. "Nope," he said a moment later, "it's Lonergan. We got that feller in the trap, Ferris. Just follow my lead, and when we are through with him he won't be in no position to make trouble again." "But outside--outside, Curran," whispered Ferris, staring with di- lated eyes at the approaching rider, while his body shook like an aspen, "Outside, where she won't hear when--when we--" Dave watched the horses graz- ing on the young grass that was already springing up with incredible swiftness, after the night of rain, He lay back, dreaming of Lois and of their future, Finally he stretch- ed himself, rolled and lit a cig- arette, and rose to his feet. Un derneath him the water was still running down the ravine, but it had dried to a thin trickle in places. Suddenly Dave perceived some- thing white gleaming underneath the sunshine. It looked like--it was a part of the skeleton of a man, "Those ribs were human ribs, not bovine. And there was the skull,| just visible under the earth piled about it. : It was evident, from the whit- ness of the bones, that the skeleton had lain in the ravine for a con- siderable time. It looked as if it had been buried, unearthed by. flood waters, buried under an accumula- tion of debris that they brought down, and washed up again. * * % Instantly curious, Dave began scrambling down the side of the ravine. There was a sturdy growth of pine saplings that afforded him hand-hold and, bracing his feet against the rock wall, he was able to make the descent without any especial difficulty. Between the bank and the skele- ; ton there were about two feet of muddy water. Dave removed his shoes and socks and began wading through it. : It was undoubtedly the skeleton of a man. One of the legs protrud- ed stiffly out of the mud, and Dave saw that it had been broken near the thigh. It evidently had been badly set, for the broken ends were not in alignment, and there was a bone considerable thickening of about the side of the fracture, "Some waddy kicked by a horse," "But how come he was ridin' the trail up there? And if his horse slipped, where's, the Dave thought. horse? The water was 'washing over the skull, alternately exposing and re- vealing it. beneath it and lifted it clear. Then he whistled.
