THE NAVY AND THE WAR AGAINST JAPAN The major role the United States Navy is playing in the war against Japan has been brought into sharp and dramatic focus lately by two thrilling sea sagas. The story of the Bunker Hill:is one to rival fiction. It was a sequel to the earlier odyssey of the USS Franklin which, although bombed and burned, made its way to the Brooklyn Navy yard for repairs. Both of these unsinkable ships were airplane earners. In an excellent story in its July issue, Fortune magazine calls the Fast Carrier Force the greatest United States contribution to sea warfare. "Powerful, elusive, self-sufficient and resilient," this force swept the Pacific clean in the' campaign that began at Tarawa and ended at Okinawa. 1 "At normal strength, the Fast Carrier Force is roughly a million tons of ships and more than & hundred thousand men, able to keep" well over a thousand planes in the air. The force is built around six to ten CVs (big fast carriers) and up to eight CLVs (light fast carriers.)" Some of the Navy's 27 CVs and CVLs are always out of action or in for overhaul, Fortune explains. . ' .i -'Ordering the Fast Carrier Force to strike Kyushu or Formosa or the Nansei ShotcHs as simple as. a telephone call. , "Steaming '400 to 500 miles n day for davs on end, they appear suddenly; .hit -with' devastating effect,' and." then disappear ; -ass-suddenly, as their.' appeared-only.' to reappear on a target a .thousand, perhaps two thousand, miles away. . "They . have , not only taken on the land-based Japanese air fofrce; they; 'have all but destroyed it, not once'but twice, Itrstin the Philippines and again around Okinawa," " ' .' The magazine .mentions two. other, factors, in. the effectiveness of the Fast Carrier force: the carrier training program that produced the most highly trained pilots in the world; and the technique of carrier night fighting. - : ,

H ARM OIL TREATMENT ADVISABLE FOR SHOES

wears out garden and other work shoes. But there is a simple way to guarantee longer life for this vork-a-day footwear, points out Miss Freida Stoll, Purdue University " extension clothing specialist. Work shoes can be kept both soft and waterproof if they are oil.v treated ' ' once or twice a month. A good oil fop treating leather shoe soles may be made with two ounces of beeswax and one pound of petroleum.. Another good combination is that of twelve ounces of tallow or- wool grease and- four ounces of either Neat's foot oil or caster oil. The ingredients should be melted together, stirred thoroughly, " "and applied when warm but not hot. Soles can be treated easily if the oil is placed in a - shallow pan in a quantity that will, barely cover the soles when the shoes are placed in the pan. If heels are- rubber, they may- be set on the edge of the pan sp that the oil does not come in contact with them. Miss Stoll advises that 15 .to-.. 20 minutes is sufficient : time for leaving the shoe soles in the oil, ; When shoe tops are - heavy, Xhpy should also be treated', by M. J.

CHAPTER I IT looked to Captain Hugh North, D. C. I., as if this was going to be a dull evening something exceptional at the Cercle Sportif Francais. At the prospect he experienced an indefinable resentment and morosely surveyed desolate expanses of a lounge which wofcld normally be seething with that unconquerable if febrile vivacity of the French. At the Cercle men as a rule were only as proper as they had to be and women were as dashing as they dared. . Yes, tonight was an off night. Customarily one could recognize a plethora of second flight diplomats, self important consular attaches, debt harassed army oncers, hard bitten adventurers and downright blackguards a-plenty. One could provoke a conversation on any topic under the sun be it the latest and bloodiest Tuchun War to the proper planting of tea roses. As varied and disputable would hhve been the ladies in attendance; they ranged from the French Con-su-General's sedate grand- dame, co-regent of Mme. la Republique's little satrapy in Shanghai, to a certain questionable Russian princess whose morals, indeed, were not questionable at all. Especially Hugh North would have enjoyed watching the Cercle's Russian, Italian and Spaiush members, as well as those few inexplicable Americans who, like himself, preferred a vital if non-exclusive tableau to the stodgy conservatism of the Shanghai Club. Tonight, however, light rain and a damp wind sifting down from the upper Yangtze with the piercing effectiveness of a bayonet had reduced the gathering to a minimum. "Just my usual muddy luck, Wong," North remarked to the lounge steward. "And I was wanting a breather." "Breatha, sah? My not know that cocktail, sah." Wong looked desperately uneasy. ; "My ask bar man ". . . ',. "Never mind, Wong just teft him to turn off that wretched rain instead,". Buck teeth glimmered with comprehension. "Yessah, Cappen, my tellm. Cigar, sah?". "No. I'll smoke my - pipe no ladies to object tonight." North settled back, his biain yet vibrant with tension. It had been a bad half hour he'd spent standing in the Consul-General's private office listening and looking out on the yellow, rain-lashed Whangpoo. . Of course Mr. Reardon had exaggerated. Everything that was worth being discovered about steel had been known for over twenty years. And yet what if . steel could-be manufactured strong as ever and sixty per cent lighter? He shut his eyes to avoid the necessity of talking to a sallow rice broker from Cochin China, who, puffy cheeked and green bronze with malaria, came by, parading his newest petite amie, a frightened looking Russian child. At the outside- she would be seventeen. North eslmiated. In a mild effort to escape complete boredom. North tried to divert himself in studying fat old Colonel Dupleix.and his faded blonde wife. Why did so niapy retired army officers linger in Shanghai? Perhaps like Captain Nicholas, late of the Indian army, he really didn't want

A most charming lady. She said the voyage was of the most miserable. A bientot." "See you later," smiled North and promptly relapsed into his state of troubled inactivity. One of the discoverers of U.e new process had decided to overlook ethics and to cash in on it. Well, it wasn't to be wondered at Army offices w"e by no means overpaid. Moodily twirling a liqueur glass between bluntly sensitive fingers, North debated whether the Empress of Finland might not have numbered among her 'passengers the subject of his conversation with Consul-General Reardon one Luther Adams,, late major of the Chemical Warfare Corps? Possibly G-2 in Washington had been point- J edly confident that the deserter would eventually turn up in Shang-. hai, prime haven for the world's rogues.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS VISITORS STUDY PASTURE TRIALS AT UPLAND FARM LAFAYETTE,' Ind., July 2 In order to study fertilization adaptability, productivity, and feeding qualities of various types of pasture mixtuies, the Purdua University Pasture Research project of the Agricultural Experiment Station, has been conducting a series of experiments on the Miller-Purdue Farm near Upland. i These experiments, under the direction of Dr. G. O. Mott, pasture research agrcyiomist, showed some conclusive results to .300 farmers, , agricultural extension workers, and vocational agriculture teachers who visited the farm June 15 to review the progress of the test series which begun in 1941. For example they learned that about two-thirds of a season's gains per steer on biuegrass were equal or greater than those produced by the rotation pasture mixtures but the beef produced per acre was much less for bluegrass because of a lower carryin;? capacity. They also found that permanent Dluegrass pastures high a high nutritive value but are low in production and carrying capacity and they learned that gains on Birdsfoot trefoil -biuegrass were more evenly distributed throughout the season than with ordinary bluegrass' and some of the other grass - legume, mixtures. 'Mowing the pasture area show ed little advantage in beef production but its chief value was in weed control. ' Tests with steers v grazed on fertilized pasture land resulted in more beef produced per acre and mere gain per day per steer

B.P.W.C. HEAD TO HELP REBUILD FRENCH GROUP

New York headquarters of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs has announced the departure of Dr. Lena Madesin Phillips, president of the federation for Paris, where she will help reestablish the French federation, which was disrupted by the war. Immediately after the liberation of Paris, Dr. Phillips received messages informing her that the nucleus of the organization had been kept intact throughout the Nazi occupation and that extension of the federation throughout France would serve a vital purpose in the rebuilding of morale, ihe has undertaken ' the mission at the suggestion of the emer gency committee of the International federation. Headquarters also has learned that the member club in Brussels managed to continue its meetings during the occupation. The federation in Italy, one of the largest in Europe ) before the war, also is reorganizing. En route to Paris, Dr. Phillips will slop in London to confer with Miss Caroline Haslett, vice president on the international board and founder of the British federation, and with other officers and leaders. Dr. Phillips is well known to the Business and ' Professional Women of this city and on one occasion addressed the Sullivan B, and P. W. Club about ten years ago.
