Peer. Starr says that it demonstrates the need for additional aitogiro planes in the border service. With only three autogiros now, more should be added as rapidly “Do you like to fly, Dr. York?” “I peg pardon?’ He looked asshed. “I, myself?” #Yes. Do you?” (“Why—ah—no. never once been in “Goodness, Dr. York, you ought to be ashamed!” “Quite so, Miss Bailey. But my séholastic pursuits—” . ‘Oh, ps-s-s-s-st!” She hissed at the idea, wrinkling her nose, then winked impersonally before she talked on. “Listen here, Dr. York, the kids all say you are very hunan, really.” Bey {HOW was that?” He put down his record book and frowned, incredulous, through his heavy-rimmed spectacles. «The older students say You are a swell sort if you'd let yourself be, and youre not broken down in years. Now listen—you’re going flying with me—today!” “Why, aw, Miss Bailey, I— «ome on! Classes are over for the day and it’s still just 3:30. Come on, Dr. York! Don‘t be a Droop” He echoed it. Droop 1t was new in his vocabulary of recognized slang. Droop. Patently, one was not ‘expected to be a droop, if one would exert proper influence over the students. And the university president had said that he, a very young Ph. D., should be perhaps closer to the student activities than any other faculty man. The thought of flying—and Miss Bailey's unmistakably charming manner and, ah, her lips— “Good! I knew you'd go. It's too lovely an afternoon to waste in an office aryway. Now my car is ‘right outside and—" ” ” ” BEFORE the scholarly young gentleman realized it he was skimming over the road at 60, and when he became rational, he was skimming -over New Mexico at 160. In abject awe he looked down. “Not over 4000 feet,” she angwered his thoughts, shouting in his ear. “Like it?” | Her grin was impish. “Oh, quite!” ~~: | “Good! AM coast some.” Sliding, loafing along up high, yaotor idling, enabled them to talk more easily. Roniga noted that his somewhat pale, indoorish skin had taken on a pink glow of exhilaration.

Of course you look nice with them.” «]—ah, thank you. I—" . «what I mean is, you should get smaller frames, I think. These are too heavy. Do you have to wear them?” «Only when I read, but one gets into a habit, and—" “That's all of that, then. You start leaving them off.” He looked at her with raised eyebrows. Here was a girl, a student, actually ordering him! It wasn’t done in a university, he felt, but— oddly, he liked it. Dr. Woodrow Wesley York blinked. Ye glanced at Ronica Bailey again and decided that yes, she was uncoubtedly the prettiest of all the girls who had ever’ matriculated at Pueblo University. It made one wish that Fate had not— “There's a. dance Saturday night,” she suddenly announced. “Quite so.” | “Stop it!” she commanded, gaily. » ‘Quite so’ is something to say when vou turn 50 years, Dr. York.

“That's Genius Jones on sentry duty again!”

One of a series taking a draftee into Uncle Sam's new army.

By MILTON BRONNER Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—John Q. Citizen, drafted into the army through the selective service machinery and" assigned to the infantry, will in the first 13 weeks of intensive training be taught that one of the most important things for a soldier in time of battle is how to protect himself as much as possible from the enemy’s fire. So he is taught the difference between cover and concealment. There are features of the terrain

[No matter; it uldn't have astonished him as uch as what she had said. ‘His ‘own voice, though, was paralyzed now. : «The kids say you have been girl shy,” she went on, eyes dancing, “but the truth is, you're awfully good-looking and; you're not as old as you think you are. 1 told some of the girls I bet I could break you out :of your shell.” of ® x = STHL HE COULD say. nothing. “Mind if .I drop the ‘Doctor’ I mean outsts the classroom, of course.

His instructors will show him how to avoid making his body stand out sharp against a sky-line. To do so would be to invite death or serious injury from rifle fire. He will learn how to add to his concealment by wearing something white in a snow landscape or something sand colored in a sandy soil. He will also get a certain amount of map reading. John in private life may be an automobilist and may pride himself on his reading of road maps in strange country. But that is child’s play compared to army work. The maps he will study will be
