Gen. Ernest Cowell, director of the medical services of the Allied armies in North Africa, said. . , General Cowell said that he could not give a precise figure, as that was a military secret, but he added that "the number of lives saved by blood plasma was - surprisingly great. Blood given so willingly -in the United States was not wasted/' He also praised the courage <jf American nurses who landed under fire at Oran in the Allied occupation .of North Africa last November. "These nurses were magnificent ih the way they came in during the Oran assault and immediately went to work nursing the Wounded," General Cowell said. He said that no force in the world today nor ip history was any healthier than the Allied troops in North Africa. - . . "We have just made typhus and typhoid almost nil," he said. "Regarding malaria, I must say we have just passed through a good season and are facing a bad season, but I hope that atebrine tablets (synthetic quinine) will be effective." Asked regarding venereal diseases among the troops, General Cowell said that the problem was not too bad and that "we are constantly working upon it by encouraging more athletics, coffee bars, canteens and proper social recreation in addition to giving- constant lecttfres regarding its evils.

But before those torpedoes are launched the shell must be man-, ufactured at one place, the explosive at another, and the assembly completed at a third, and then transported to ocean cargo vessels. All of these operations require extensive rail service. By the same token, foods must be transported from farm to processor, from processor to consumer. And fighting men must be moved from home to camp, from camp to camp, and to ports of embarkation. This transportation is the job the railroads are performing. Men, munitions, supplies--all are being moved in quantities unheard of before. It's the biggest transportation problem in history--a problem which is being handled swiftly, efficiently, by American railroads. i^orth Western's" 32,000 skilled railroaders ar* proud to share the solving o£ this problem, and their continued effort will be limited only by the supply of materialg Obtained to^maintain track and equipment adequatelv.

For all you know I might be a spotter." . "Not much danger in that. No spotter would be about this time o'^ the day. It's early in the evening, and later when the theater, crowd is out that they keep an eye on you. Hardly anybody ever comes in this time o' the night I know." "Guess you've got long hours, haven't you?" spoke up the customer, slowly twisting the glass between his fingers. T "You hit it. From eight P. Mf, to eight A. M. the ol' sun sure looks good in the morning! And does the evening keep you on the jump! Work like ; lightning during the theater rush, and again at the intermission, and when the shows are out. Then about midnight the^ crowd starts thinning out, and after that all you get is once in a while a drunk or two, a chorus man or a drifter of some sort. You're all tired out, and you got to spend the rest of the night with nothing to do, and believe me each hour seems like four. Lonely?--no name for it." "I should think there'd be a good chance of someone sticking you typ." "Huh?" darting a quick look at the other's face. "I say, you ever been in a hold- "up?" "Just once--but that was plenty, Some guy comes in and starts talking, jes' like we're talking now. He buys a drink and we chins along. I wasn't noticing him particularly. He slides a dime across the counter, and I turn to open the drawer of the cash register, well--all of a sudden he puts a gun on me and snaps--'up wit 'em, fella.' " "Yeah? An' what did you do?" "What did I do? Say, I'm no fool, an' it wasn't my money. I just does as he tells me. He grabs the roll out of the open drawer, slams a gag in my mouth, ties me up and shoves me under the counter. Neatest thing you ever--" "Would you know this guy again if you saw him?" "Can't say for sure. He was about my height, I guess, an* he had dark hair. O' course I was pretty scared --to' notice--" * "That's him, all right. . That was Ben Carters," the newcomer grinned, and held out his hand. "That's the bird I'm after.
