He had finished his prayers and was reclining comfortably in a pew when an exceedingly well-dressed member of the "400" entered and sat in the same pew. The well-dressed man glared at the stranger for a few minutes then motioned to an usher. He gave the usher a note to pass on to the stranger at the other end of the pew. The note read, "I pay $2,000 for the exclusive use of this pew." The word "exclusive" was heavily underlined. The stranger drew out his own card and sent it back with the following reply, "I think you pay jnaUrely too much."

Mist Gil Fiction By Richard Hfll Wilkinson AT FIRST Mr. Otis Gill had seemed to take a liking to young Arthur Forbes. But he changed his opinion when the Champion began to buck the choppy seas of the open Atlantic. She was not a large liner, and the waves were running high. Arthur Forbes turned away suddenly and, clutching the deck rail for support shaped an unsteady course for the companionway. Mr. Gill burst into guffaws of laughter. "Seasick!" he said, addressing a young couplie nearby and nodding toward the compariionw a y. " S h o u l d h a v e s t a y e d h o m e and tended to his knitting." The young coupl$ smiled politely but with a lack of enthusiasm. Neither of them felt "equal to the task of getting up and following On young Arthur Forbes' heels. The dining salon was located beneath the forward deck; Mr. Gill's table was at the extreme end, hear that section where the vessel's bow began to narrow. He had hardly seated himself „when he saw that young Arthur Forbes was placed two tables away and slightly behind.) There was a plate of food on the table before the youth, but it was untouched. Like one in a trance Mr. Forbes was" sitting with eyes widened greatly beyond their normal size; cheeks as pale as death. After a time Mr. Gill saw that the youth at the other table was staring toward a pert-hole, and his grin broadened. The port-hole was located far forward, and with each dip of the vessel one could see the entire slope of a wave, from trough to crest. Then for - a space there would be nothing ^btrt open sky. It provided a inensation similar to riding .on a roller coaster. Mr: Gill knew that as long as young Forbes continued to stare through the port-hole his seasickness would steadily grow worse. And he chuckled at the thought. After a while Mf- Gill found it was easier to stare straight ahead than to sit half-turned in his chair in order to watch young Forbes, who, after all, wasn't Jthe most pleasing sight in fhe world. And in staring straight ahead Mr. Gill found that he was looking directly through the porthole at the swishing seas. H I I I I I I H I I I I H H H I I H I M » I H I i m i M l l l M » H I I mnatHiuNrittfumttmmmm 4 Mr. Gill was saber new; his face pale, his eyes glassy. HE WATCHED idly for a few moments and then looked away, conscious of a feeling in his stomach not wholly normal. The sensation passed and he looked again at the port-hole, feeling more comfortable in this position. Instantly the same strange sensation attacked him again. Mr. Gill was sober now; his face pale; his eyes glassy. Realization of what was happening to liim came like a shock. He was seasick! Helplessly, miserably ill. Never in his life could Mr. Gill remember feeling so utterly at the mercy of anything. ' • Miraculously Mr. Gill, reached the doorway and disappeared up the stairs. Instantly the dining salon was a bedlam of laughter. Up toward the bow young Arthur Forbes was wiping some white substance from his cheeks and grinning broadly. Several men came over and spoke. "I'll change your " order, idr. Bring you some hot food." Mr. Forbes smiled. "Thanks. And say, steward, that was a smart idea of yours--asking me to play the role of the helplessly seasick passenger and placing Gill at that table directly opposite the porthole." The steward nodded, eyes atwinkle. "We have a man like Mr. Gill on board every voyage, sir. And we have that table placed there for just his type. No one else is asked to sit so far forward." Mr. Forbes chuckled. "Think Of everything for the comfort of your passengers, eh? Well, if you didn't I'm afraid this voyage would have proved almost intolerable--with Gill talking the way he was."

However, the chemical compound (of which the full name is dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) was first prepared in 1874 by Othmar Zeidler, a graduate student 6f chemistry at Strassbourg, Germany. Its insecticidal properties were discovered in the nineteen thirties by Paul Muller, a chemist in Basle, Switzerland. The first reports of its efficacy reached the United States in 1939, and the needs of the armed services led to a rapid extension of its use.
