Another method of diagnosis is the use of a kia test which is made by In jeitinz into the gfcin a killed culture of brueella germ. Redness will occur where the injection is given If the person has had nndit lant fever. However, a positive test doe not mean that active ftifeetjon ia present. The treatment of undulant fever consists of rest in bed, the giving of fluids, and measures to relieve fever and pain. The sulfonamide drug.-, have l>«en helpful in some eases. Blood taken from a person who has recovered from the disease may tie h‘-lp(ul in occasional instances when injected into a vein. However, the disease is a most diffictilt one to cure. This disease Is not spiead directly from man Io man. It must be acquired from handling infected animals or from eating their products. in this lies the srteret of Its prevention.

Germany quit the league the same year. Matsuoka met Stalin in Moscow April 13. 1941 and signed the Russo Japanese neutrality part. On his return to Japan to re port to the second Konoyr cabin es, Matsuoka was jubilant over his achievements and loud In his praise of Stalin whom he called "fundamentally an oriental" — who could talk with Orientals. Matsuoka also went to Berlin where -he publicly appeared with Hitler and to Rome where he appeared with Mussolini. Matsuoka Insisted that the tri-

partite alliance with Germany and Italy was concluded tn "keep ' " United States out of war. thereby preventlqg the war In Europe from i>e<-otning a world conflagration He denied Japan had any Intentlon of going to war with United Slates Matsuoka. born of a poor family, went to the United Suites al an early age and worked as house hoy attending Oregon university.

CHAPTERTWENTY-FOUR “YOU WEREN'T original in worrying about your Japanese friend." said Nina. "Plenty of peopls knew ons good Jap or German." He looked up, qulekly as U he meant to contradict that. But, Instead, he went on, tn the same high-pitched, mildly excited tone. “My mother had German blood. I'd assumed her people were good. 1 knew the first thing I'd have to do was get Sandl out of my system. 1 made myseif remember the German kids who'd been sent to Norway after the last war, ted and fattened and loved by those decent Norwegians, who came back to lead the Nazi invasion. Knew every fjord in the country. Knew how to destroy those good people. Sandl'a your enemy, now,’ 1 kept telling myseif. The past is wiped out. If 1 have to kill Sandl, 1 have to.' 1 couldn't wait to get out of that house and back to my place and next to a radio. 1 sat by that radio ati night. Didn't shut it oil once. In the morning, 1 took a shower, drank black coffee and went over the Bridge to see if the Air Force would have me. U 1 had to be in, 1 wanted to be where—** Nina ended his sentence “—lt would hurt most.'* __ He squirmed U’.®| II J8W" -'Lx-' actly." He sat back, winding his long legs, resting nis head on the towel. He stroked tils thigh nervously ana then gripped his hands. The bright afternoon sun lay on his face, sharpening the guinea beside bis mouth, etching the web of line wrinkles around his eyes. He looked terribly tired, almost old. She spoke up, with a forced cheenneas that made you aware that her mind wasn't with what she was saying; “It's amazing how easy it ia to talk on a tram, Words just now. It's as if there weren’t much Ume. You have to get everything said-said fast—before you get to your station." He bent over his tightly locked hands. "That's it. There isn't much time. That's one of those tilings ... You know it when they disappear ~, Good guys, g 0 out and never come back." The way he said that made her afraid he was withdrawing again to his private world of unspeakablea. To bring him buck quickly keep him on the plane of question and answer, aba asked; "But why did you go into the Air Force i a newspaper man—after all. There was Public Relations." His snort was eloquent, “Look 1 wanted to do—" “1 know. What would hurt moat." She saw his hands clench and unclose and waited for an easing of strain, before she said "You ve done things to be proud of. Don't forget that." “Proud?" His hp thrust out. Those ribbons. You didn't cet them for—" * His mouth writhed. “Valor Fabrice." “Oh, please! Pleazef" Coi or mounted under her sun tan. “You worry a word the way a dog does a bon. ... Let it go. Ut«, thing pass. Just once." He Uflcu tus eyebrows but keot silent. k "Your father wit! be proud when u’ sees your ribbons." "My father?" There was an indignant note in hu voice as if so long and so far had he traveled without them, ne almost resented .he right of bis family to know what had happened to him. She made a new try.

“There's always room for one more." He said nothing to that, and she began to think he again had tost interest In talking to her. “You're confused. Is that It?" There was no answer from him for a while but finally, he said; "Do you mind If 1 puli down the shade? The sun’s awfully strong." "l*n do it." She yanked the shade down. Diffidently, he began: "You won't think ~." She smiled at him with a forthrightness that struck a new note in their contact, and she olid down ths seat until the Oars of her skirt brushed against him. The atmosphere in the room had perceptibly changed. The distrust bad gone. Dusky and quiet, the little compartment had almost the hush of a hospital room—an operating room, he decided. Through the expectant silence he could hear the whine of the hangers, the monotonous drone of the wheels on the track. She stroked his sleeve. “Doo, tell me about the Air Force," “What's to tell?" “We got to where you went down and enlisted." “Oh yea J tried out for pilot Washed up. Poor depth perception. You have to have jthat Cripes, you have to have that” She saw his jaw tighten. “I applied for bombardier sebool and I made IL" "Don't you need some mechanical aptitude?” The last words struck an echo but he didn't try to recall who bad said them before. “Oh, sure, sure you do. I drove a car in Manhattan traffic. That's enough and to spare. 1 didn't do badly at science and math at Columbia." He pushed back bis hair with the flat of Ms hand. “Like most kids that grew up ta our tlmca, I wanted wings. That's all the adventure that's left 1 used to cover LaGuardia Field—the airport—for the Eagle. Watch the Clippers come in from Europe, Bermuda. I remember one day, the Bermuda plaae was getting ready for takeoff. They were cleaning her up. 1 saw them bring out a carpet sweeper. It gave me a jolt. You don't sweep a plane with a Bissells, 1 thought You should use a moonbeam." She squeezed his arm. "I love it when you talk like that The small things you've seen and remembered." “ "My newspaper training?" , "Big jump." “The slot to the Plexiglas nose." That’s a name foe your book.” "Cut II." be wld, and then with a trace of his former irritability: "1 can't see why you keep harping on that There’s nothing special about newspapermen. You And all ktnda of guys in the crew of a B-M. Why, look here, in our group we bad one rancher, one clerk ia a hat store, a college sophomore, * tarage mechanic; one ran n greenhouse, raised lowers—” “Which was the pilot?" He didn't reply, but she knew that he'd heard her question because one of his thumbs drew up to the other. He pulled it back, pushed his hands into his pockets, before he repeated: “You find all kinds of guys in the crew of a B-24." Then be drew out tus pack, lit a cigaret. His hand, she could see, was snaking again. She let him inhale and exhale and then she asked: “Weren't you old tor the Air Force?" “More or less. Twenty-seven when 1 went in. Twenty-nine now. Only first looie." He Uk'd. “Shame ®n you, Corbett. No push. No ambition. We’ve sot colonels at 32 " 1
