It is more than 4,000 miles from the Great Lakes to Arequipa, Peru, most convenient Panagra airport to Lake Titicaca, where the eggs ware deposited, but it took only four days for the shipment to cover that distance.

He liked her and she liked him, but I knew she felt that I spoiled him. We gof into wordy spats; I couldn't telephone him in the old way and say 'All clear?' because Mother would then smile good-naturedly and say 'There you go again •*- buckling under.' Friction Allowed to Pile Up. . "But that wasn't all, of course. We seemed to suffer from complete lack of sympathy. Little things began to jar on us terribly; we nulled apart. Whatever Fred wanted to do seemed to be the exact thing I didn't want to do; whether it was asking this acquaintance or that to the house, using money for this purpose or that, keeping some secret or making some remark. "My mother was living withi a widowed sister at this time, and when quite suddenly Fred and I agreed to a divorce, David and I went there. David is now eight, he adores his father -- I want him to. But his outbursts of affection and admiration for his father sometimes come at awkward moments, and my sister and mother exchange scornful glances that sooner or later he'll understand. So I intend to get into quarters of my owir *s soon as possible. But even that presents, difficulties. Fred wants David. "Fred has married again, a nice enough woman ten years older than he who has two. little girls; David loves to go there. Naturally things aren't as pleasant here, for my sister's boys are only five and three, and the older cousin teales them If I lose Fred's check for David's support I will have to take a paying job; my alimony is only $i,200 a year. "If I had it to do over again I'di stick with Fred. He has his faults. God knows, but so have I. To have David happy, to have these financial and family""difficulties settled, to have the taken-for-granted approval of my friends instead of their gentlycritical doubtfulness, would make, the pin-pricks of our old disputes seem childish nonsense. "But more than that. I like to have a man around. I like his racket i in the hall when he gets home at! night. I like him to pay my restaurant bill, and say 'How are you fixed DIVORCE SEQUEL The woman orer whose letter Miss Norris weaves this column has found a great number of ahiwers to divorce and, as in a grt>at number of the cases where man and wife .split, her discoveries have been made--after the estrangement. And it's usually a pretty bitter sequel to those tvomen who find themselves placed in a similar role. The realization of not knowing "when they were well off" torments them and brings them sharp recriminations over the slight frictions that caused them to part. And there are the children. The divorcee suddenly finds that it was good having a man around. Not only for herself but for the children. And she also finds now that the connubial knot has been untied, that having had one around at one time is not a guarantee that she will acquire another quite as handily. Yes; if she had it to do over again, she tcould stick to hubbv and the children. She knows now that despite the difficulty of marriage that it has its advantages. That for a divorced woman to make it alone in the world is not always a betl of roses and that lonesomeness is a dreadful heartache. As an aftermath she discovers that it was good to have had a man around. NORFOLK, VA.--Two non-commissioned officers at nearby Fort Story are trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible these days. It started with the arrival at the post of Lieut. Col. Leon J. Meyung, a new group commander. According to the camp's public relations officer he took charge of a j practice march and bivouac and j was in such a hurry to reach the | main line before his men, that he 1 donnd^ fatigue clothes, snatched up j a rifle- and helmet and headed for the south gate. His clothing did not show his rank. Colonel Meyung's fatigue clothes looked exactly like those of any of j his men. A sergeant spotted him i as g tardy private.. i "What in are you waiting for?" j he demanded. "Get in line." { Colonel Meyung meekly puffed j into line, alongside a corporal at- ! tached to the medical corps. I "You're kinda old to be going through this, ain't you. Pop?" ths corporal asked. Colonel Meyung started to reveal his identity when ; the corporal, smdeked him on the back with: "Buck up, Pop. If the going gets too tough, I'll fix things for ya to , ride in the ambulance." Colonel Meyung is holding no grudges. Although the experience was "rather trying," he chuckles i about it now. The story was ap- j proved for publication by the colo- ! nel himself, " r , , i for money, kid?' I like to fuss over him when he feels sick, and have i him fuss over me when I do. I like » sharing David, buying presents for | both my men at Christmas, planning surprises and trips. A little loneliness as a wife is better than total loneliness as an unattached female. A faulty human man, 27 per cent selfishness, is better than ho man at all. Married Woman Better .Off. "The married woman, whatever her difficulties, has a definite advantage. The divorced woman is cut and humiliated in a thousand ways nobody suspects. 'There were fault? on both sides,' society says kindly, even if the husband beat her. ' starved her, and threw her into the street. 'I'll get a nice man for you. honey,' says the hostess, with some infatuated married lad of 20 in mind, who will talk all evening about his wife, now in the hospital having a baby. "Worst of all." concludes this, letter, "is the little loyal David, with his anxious, 'When's Dad coming 1 home?' Am I to tell him that Daddy | is a cruel stupid failure, or to shui up about Dad?" So the woman who wrote this let ter would perhaps give other wivet contemplating divorce the advice 1 always do; the advice "Punch" giive in a single monosyllable to the young maJf' about to be mar ,ried: "Don't." That was merely ir, joke; we are in earnest. Nine times out of ten a woman divorces for imaginary or easily curable trou bles. Fort Blasted, He Comes In on Wing and Prayer CHICAGO. -- "Coming In on a Wing and a Prayer" may have been written about someone else, but C. K. Lindquist, 3526 N. Marshficld avenue, Chicago, can tell you how it feels to go through that particular I experience. | It all happened one day when | Lindquist and the other memlers of the crew of "Dinah Might" Were { returning to England from a tomb- I i | ing mission over France.

It was ' about as bad a barrage of flak as I | ever encountered. Staff Sergt. J.ick j Dunn of Edinburg, 111., took off his I anti-flak suit and parachute and ! crawled over the bomb bay and shut ! off the leaking gas. Nothing but the I excellent skill of Capt. David H.

Consumers Paying Debts There are increasing signs that American consumers are paying their debts. Latest figures show thai the total consumer credit outstand ng at the end of 1941 has been marked by the sharp decline of 51 per cent. The greatest portion ol this drop is accounted for by the shrinkage in installment credit. The shrinkage is said to indicate that a large postwar market will open for autos, refrigerators, furniture and household equipment fre quently sold on the installment plan Freight Cests [ Six Rales for Writing For less than the government !
