An example of the trend is Capt. Eddie Kickenbacker's recent assurance that his firm, Eastern Air Lines Inc., has immediately available LOGO jobs- for veterans with amputations. Even the loss of both arms or legs would not prevent men f'om serving as reservation clerks, ticket sellers, weather experts, mechanics, instrument men, accountants, flight engineers, or, the Caplain deelai erl, in his own post as president and, general manager. - ' 1 ' A recent Government survey has disclosed that in conterns employing' 63,000 impaired workers, 87 per cent were just as efficient as the unimpaired, and were superior m regard to absenteeism, accident frequency, and labor turnover. If this is tvue of the civilian handicapped, what of the lads who, though they have parted with some of their physical equipment in the service of their country, have gained something infinitely more valuable in the way of courage, stamina, responsibility, and mental alertness. These qualities that made him a good soldier make him an even belter- worker. For the true measure of a man is in his thinking, not i-n hi:; limbs.

j" CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX Danielle led the -way around the garage. The window from which

the light streamed was small and high higher than Aggie could

reach. Its panes were set in

hinged frame that was open so that iiglit fell into the leaves of a big maple which grew near the barn, at

slight angle from the window. He tould see black paint on the panes v.o make the room totally dark for

daylight photographic development.

He looked for a box, a wheelbarrow,

barrel to stand on. "Boost me." Dnnielle said.

He wrapped his arms around her knees and lifted. Her palms ran up the wall, like little slapping feet. Siie caught the sill and pulled her

weight higher. He pushed on the

bottoms of her feet. She looked in,

then. And the sounds of night, the whispering of leaves and the trilling of insects, were obliterated by her scream. Danielle's scream did not last longi although it was the sort that

begins hysterics. Aggie could not

be sure whether it was real, or a deliberate achievement.. But he did not want the neighborhood roused. He could feel the girl wobbling above him, and he dropped her, catching her roughly by the waist. That arrested the scream left it hanging in the night shrill, eerie, truncated. She opened her mouth to scream again. Aggie put his hand over it. She commenced kicking and biting, but she didn't make any more noise. He saw to that: he held ner there, locked, gagging, waiting lo sec if a light would go on in one if the servants' rooms or one of the houses in the surrounding woods. There was no light; the girl was beginning to relax. "Listen!" he said in a whisper. 'If you yell, you'll wake up the neighborhood! If there's anything

you answer without making an uproar-" She tried to kick him again. Then she nodded, because his reaction had jeen to hold her more firmly. He ;ook away his hand. She spoke in a shuddering monotone. "It's Dad! He's lying in there with a knife sticking out of him and blood all )ver the floor!" "Yes?" He was commanding her ;o go on. "We've got to do something get the police !" Aggie shook his head. "Not yet. Whoever killed him- doesn't kijow ae's betn found and may be relying an that" Her answer was violent although whispered. "Nobody killed lim. He killed himself! You fool! The door is locked a child couldn't ?rawl through the window and it's the only one!" Aggie's eyes were accustomed to the pcnumbral glow of the little window. He saw her well tossing back her hair, shaking. He was still

waiting for lights, -but none" came,

One scream heard for a moment

and at a distance will pass as the sound of a door, of a tree, or of a rabbit caught by a nighthawk. It

is the second and the third and the

fourth screams that rouse all hu

manity. He thought of that. He thought, also, about the window and the door. It gave him a sense

of frustration.

"I'll look." He began searching

lor something to stand on. "There's a ladder inside the garage. To the left," she said. He lit matches until he found it.

A stepladder, but a long one. He

carried it back. It reached to the window. He leaned it against the wall. Danielle stood by in silence and Aggie climbed swiftly. Dr. Davis was lying on his back on the floor. His right hand was clenched around the hilt of what was, presumably, a knife; there was a blot of blood under and around him. No telltale expression marked his ashen face; it was like most faces in death: flaccid, meaningless. The knife had been plunged into his heart. He had undoubtedly died in a second. Two lights burned in the room a red one on a stand on the drainboard of a sink and a bluish, "sunlight" bulb in the high ceiling overhead. There was a ventilator fan in the room, and it was humming. Water was running from a rubber hose in a tub; several photographic enlargements eddied in the current. Ranged about, on two deal tables, were porcelain pans and

brown glass bottles-thd accotiter-

ments of an ordinary darkroom. The place smelled of chemicals. Aggie came down the ladder. j

Danielle snatched his arm star

tling him. "I just thought! Is he dead? Surely dead?"

"Yes. He is." "He killed himself," she whis

pered. "Killed himself! It isn't the thing I'd ! And yet he was so

frightfully upset !"

He killed himself," Aggie re

peated. As he said it, he wondered if Dr. Davis had killed himself. Anv

other idea seemed outrageous. There was the dead man in the small room, with the tiny window and the heavy

door. Key inside; Aggie had seen

it from the high angle at which he had stood. And -a small, ordinary bolt shot, besides. There was the knife in his heart and his right hand still closed I'non it. Suicide.

To think otherwise was preposterous. -

Jim Oalder had stumbled into a

deadfall. George Davis had stabbed himself. Hank Bogarty had skidded into a lake. There was no black fox. .

"A surgeon," h muttered, stand

ing uncertainly beside the gni, "would hardly use a knife tha . way would he?"

"He'd know how," Danielle; an

swered. "And he either would or he wouldn't. If Dad had decided he'd do it any way that wa :m-

venient. Convenient and effective." "We ought to get that door open," he said. "Have you a cigarette?" "No." "I'm going to the house to get one. And to have the jitters." He shook his head. "You're not going to have the jitters," "Yes. I am. I'm shaky inside, and sweating like an icebox. I'm going to lock myself in my room, and yell." "No." He said it absently, but with such force that it was extremely compelling. "You are going to get a cigarette, if you want. Then you're coming back. We'll go in there." "How?" "Do the servants sleep in the garage?" "No. The top was an old haymow. The darkroom is where the chute used to be that's why it's so high." "Oke. I'll shut the garage doors and use an automobile jack." She came back about ten minutes; later. Around her, the woods and the . dark houses were thick with sleep. She had changed into a dress and she was carrying cigarettes in her hands. On her feet were wedgies and her legs were bare. She was as pale as paper. Aggie glanced at her. He had turn

ed on the lights of one of the cars to furnish a reflected radiance for his work. He had jammed a jack against the darkroom door and he was turning its crank.

"I stuffed a robe from the lim

ousine in the little window," ht

said. "This is going to make a ter

rific racket. '

It did. The metal lock ticked un

der the strain, as if it were getting hot. The wood in the door frame

began to crack and splinter. Aggie kept turning. Then there was a sharp, explosive sound as the lock itself bit through its iron socket and the screws on the bolt wore out. The door burst open, swung clear around, hit the wall, and rebounded almost shut again. The jack blocked it. Aggie went into the room. lie yanked the car robe from the window by jumping for it. He unfolded it, and, after a long look at the body, he spread the plaid wool cover over it. Then Danielle came in still holding the cigarettes in both hands. "Smoks one," he said. "Ilcret Give me one, too." He said that be-

cause oi me glassy expression n. hef" eyes. He took two cigarettes from the package, poked one be

tween her lip?, and struck a match.i She began to smoke automatically He puffed on his as if it were t pipe. "It's a knife," he said. 'Hunting knife. Heavy. The kind yo-, wear in a sheath around your bolt Did he have one?" She did not answer. (To bo continued) rniivritlitt. TM ;. hv n.ltttl VmI: DiallllillUtl iuutf fc'v.Ubl Inc.

, Lud Denny Solves the Locust Problem

mm w

Jjud Denny may not be much of a farmer, but most folks allow he's pretty smart at solving oiher people's problems. Like Alvin Blake's locusts. For years Akin has been tryIng to Ret rid of a grove of locusts. 1'hcy aren't using up any sood land, but they annoy Alvin. Every time lie cuts them down, up they shoot again, "What'll I do about them locusts?" Alvin asks Lud. "Well, if you can't get rid of 'em," says I.ud, "I'd say you better get like 'em." .

From where I sit, that's sound philosophy applied to people jus a much as locust trees. You can't always change folks to your way of thinking-some may prefer beer to buttermilk, or a double harness to a single one -but you can get to like them (if you lake the trouble). And first thing you know, the little differences don't matter.

I SEE THAT . . America has learned much about the eyes of its young men since selective service was inaugurated in the United States. Although visual requirements for military service are not unusually high, large numbers of recruits were rejected for military service because ot poor vision. In the first 14 induction periods in the New York City area one out of every 10 men, because of visual shortcomings, was rejected for active military service and assigned to limited service. One out of every 30 draftees was rejected for any service whatsoever because, of subnormal eyesight. 1- !- One of the surprising things in this matter is that many of the young men found to be in need of spectacles for better seeing did not k.tow that they could not see as well as their acquaintances. The war certainly has taught us that visual errors are very prevalent and that many persons who need glasses fcr better seeing fail to obtain , them, through ignorance or neglect. iS i3i About one out of every seven men in the armed forces wears glasses and these men are provided tree optical service. Eyeglass service units follow our troops wherever they go. Military experts tell us that 90 per cent of all war operations are based upon visual observations. In war, as in peace, our eyes are vital in all activities. On the military front

good vision is needed for ef-,

tective fighting. On the home front better Vision is needed for better living. R.CE. FISHER
