She hesitated a mo- cals help drafting--thank you," she said. far, Miss--" at the strong chin. 'I know you're planning explanations for the Gov- ernment inspection committee to- morrow." The chin stiffened perceptibly. So the Government committee was coming, eh? The drive was a silent one. At the highway Donald crawled out and opened the door for his passenger. She smiled. "You're the first man to do that in two months, Mr. McAllister. And--and I am highly flattered that you took me home." He did not realize that the girl remained standing in the street until his car vanished from sight. 'She had noticed him in the halls and | Offices for some time. McAllister was angry, with a cold, calculated, frightening rage that had been developing for many weeks. Let Wilson run the chemical depart- ;ment as he ran and bullied every- /one else--all right, just so long as he kept out of McAllister's way; let him have the soundproof laboratory, priorities, assistants--all right. He himself would work overtime, be un- derpaid, refuse better offers--all right. If this experiment succeeded --if he could work it out and it was accepted, it would be worth all of Wilson's sneers. He'd have done his part. But the Government inspectors were coming tomorrow and not to test his model or his method! Well . . . his temper at a fine edge, he swung and headed back to the fac- tory. In spite of his pugnacious look, his height and his square shoulders, there was a mildness about Donald --something in the color of his hair, the blue of his eyes, his general ab- sent-mindedness--which led people to think him timid. He had never. cared, for he believed in attending strictly to his own business. And yet perhaps it was Cornelia's treat- 'ment which had helped to produce his present fury. ; Cornelia believed in Cornelia first, peace or war. She was soft, blonde, -- helpless, appealing to big men. She demanded things and got them. And now that so many men were gone she had been concentrating on Don- ald with excellent results. coat the horn sounded raucously| The sandy-haired man behind the) , ' s , driver's seat looked at her gloomily,| behind him, and kicked backward While her face was unfamiliar, he knew draftswomen had been em-. ployed for some weeks now.

"I was looking for a pencil," he grinned, nonchalantly ignoring the fact that two projected from his breast pocket. Donald controlled himself with a conscious effort and closed the desk top. He felt rather than saw Wilson's foot moving the wastebasket into a tripping position iso violently that the basket shot be- tween his annoyer's legs and he fell headlong. He was up in an instant, furious, | his fists lifted, but Donald's look lowered them. "Can't you take a joke, McAllister?" he asked feebly, realizing that his long domination of the office was crashing and that the story would soon sweep the whole plant. _ "No," snapped Donald. He tramped across the room and slammed the sales manager's door behind him. 'No, Mr. Bentley, you're not too busy to listen to me," he said, and poured out every de- mand he had formulated during his drive--better instruments, addi- tional quarters, storage space, and full hearing before the committee. cluded. 'If I can't do that here I'll go where I can. Pay Wilson what lyou want for making a general nui- 'sance of himself. Give him any title, 'you like--but let me do a good job!" _ "Of course," gasped the sales man- 'lager. "Naturally. We thought you 'were quite satisfied, Mr. McAllister, We'll have a new contract for you in the morning. We. . ." Donald turned and left. . In the outer office a stenographer came up to him. "A lady has been 'calting,"' she reported. "Miss Cor- nelia Adkins, she said." | Donald did not pause. "Tell her I haven't come in."' In the lab he pulled on his rubber gloves. He was quite calm now. He would get right at that new solvent, But first--he pulled off the gloves, made a notation on his calendar-- "Take girl in drafting room to lunch after committee report tomorrow." Nice girl, he thought, arranging bottles carefully on the sink. He' tell her--no, women were meant Better not tell her he hadn't mean to pick her up, that when he bent! over to rescue his fountain pen from) the floor of the car he had acci- dentally pressed the horn.

McHenry, School of Hy- giene, University of Toronto, discuss- ing mineral and vitamin deficiencies in Canadian diets, gave these facts in a newspaper interview: "In a recent examination of a large group of Ontario men, there was a 12 per cent. deficiency of vitamin B2. This affects the eyes, causing inflam- mation of the blood vessels, watering and squinting in the glare of sunlight. On the other hand, an examination of 848 students of East York Collegiate Institute showed less than one per cent. vitamin deficiency. The reason was that the students had a _ higher than average daily milk intake... and good eyes." Later in the interview Dr. McHenry said: "Canada's milk consumption should increased by 30 per cent. and nutri- tional committees are being set up in all provinces with the idea of en- courging more milk drinking... ." NOT GUILTY In a North Carolina court a motor- ist pleaded that he ought not to be fined for parking his car beside a signboard marked, "No Stoping." He insisted that "stoping" was an excava- tion method in mining. He hadn't stoped. The court dropped the charge and ordered the misspelling to be cor- rected Those Old Shoes May last a long time after we have repaired them. We repair Rubbers and put on good Rubber Heels.
