Under the pfon state committees each year would choose bout 6,000 .bright .high school students for scholarships in cientific subjects. They would receive financial support in bout the same degree that veterans going (o eoDprp wiTl le:ive. This would cost the government about $20,000 000 a

LADY NEARLY CHOKED WHILE LYING IN BED-
DUE TO STOMACH GAS One lady said a few days ago that she used to be afraid to go to bed at night. She was swollen with stomach gas, which always got worse when she went to bed, and the gas would rise up in her throat alter she lay clown ' and would nearly choke her. She couldn't lie flat. Had to prop her
self up on pillows. Recently this ludy got ERB-HELP and now says' gas is gone, stomach feels fine, bowels are regular and she
cm go to bed and sleep soundly. ERB-HELP contains 12 Great

CHAPTER I
'HAT had been one of those crisp, crystal clear fall mornings which make a
, multi-colored paradise of tidewater Maryland, had , degenerated into a taw. evening with forbidding banks
of fog blowing up the ,LhesapeaKe,
The first gray strata were wancter-
ing like heralds ot misionune among the narrow streets and scattered houses of Patuxtown when Geneva Benet's scuffed brown brogues reached the end of the sidewalk. In a minute now she was telling hfrself, the depressing and mournful wail of the Solomon's Island fog
warning would begin'. How sh dreaded its monotonous plaint. He;
soft, scmare-shaped mouth con;
pressed itself when a Ford truck , clattered by with a heavy load of - Oysters -for Baltimore. How she hated this 'sprawling village with ' its -pettiness, its ugliness and its ieternal reek of mud fiats, ef stalel.'fhjh' and oysters. . . i'! ' On nascimr nver ' the ranseWflV
joining Patuxtown to the island, she approached the first of a line of stores. Dozens of tin and clo'rix signs met her eye. : She was with dull .curiosity noting that more than the usual number of men ant boys were collected at the end of a pier wlich thrust an uncertain length out into the Patuxeiit's glassy waters when a raucous voice belle wed: "You back again, Genevy? Well, this time you ain't agoin' to get no more Patuxtown boys down to them 'cussed old ships of youm." A curious silence fell upon the crowd and spread with a widening effect as Geneva Benet halted and contemptuously surveyed a power ful individual whose unshaverl face was Jjrtiwn as an old saddle. Hii gait, as he came shuffling forward, was uncertain, but oddly enough Ms eyes were yet steady and alert as he bellowed: "Killed anybody this week down there?" Ghastlv Dale save for two
splotches of carmine in either cheek, Geneva Benet drew up her slight lithe figure and addressed the grin-ning.vself-consoioua crowd. "I hope you will pay no attention to Tod Ferguson," she cried. "He's angry because Captain Benet dis
charged him." The tfig man swayed over her and his upper lip twitched up, revealing yellow h6rse-like teeth. , . "Yeah, and what for? Because to
please that guy you say is yer Paw
I- wouldn't go down oeiow m tne A marika and get the same dose as the others." "Good fer you, Fergie!" "At's tellin' her!" ... . - A. hostile murmur circled the crowd whereupon Geneva Benet felt rt tiny trickle of glacier water run the length of her spine. , "Please listen," she pleaded desperately, "won't any of you listen to me." ... "Shut up!" roared Ferguson. "You wouldn't never have got nobody down .there 'cept by your come-on ways and your promises." The girl on the plank sidewalk turned a throbbing, furious scarlet, and said in choked tones, "Unfortunately, I caa't make you take that back and nobody else here will, but I can and will call yo a cowardly liar." She held out both hands and turned to the ever increasing crowd. "Please listen. This man is lying
to Vou. .The job is"
Tiere'd he come from--fFri the : oil tanker what came in this
nfbrnin'?"
As for Geneva Benet, she found hersej Jooking at a leanly adequate back garbed in a eurloua coat. It was gray and had red piped shou!-: der straps,, and on the strangers head was set a jaunty military cap of unfamiliar design. She caught t his rm.. . "No, don't interfere," she panted in a fierce undertone, "don't mix in on this. They'll kill you." "Will they?" Deep set blue eyes that were both hard and bitter, briefly glanced down at her. "You started this," the stranger snapped."Haven't you got serve, enough to
when the hard bitten young man adroitly dodged a pile driver blow. ., "Yah! Fight! Quit stallin'." An oysterman suddenly pushed the stranger off balance thus enabling Ferguson, snarling and red faced, to land a short forearm jab'to the side of his enemy's jaw. At the resounding 8mackl Geneva Benet flinched and expected to see the slighter figure go over backwards. She had, you see, -witnessed all too many fights since coming to Patuxtown. "Now y'u got him, Fergie. Kick his ugly face int" shouted the onlookers. "Go fer his eyes!" No one cried "shamel" since anything from' savate to mayhem goes in oysterman fighting.
'Shut up!" shouted the bully
1 Ferguson. "I'm goin' to make it my job to see there ain't nobody from Solomon's nor Calvert County goes down to Point Patience." The crowd emitted a peculiar undertone, the kind of a sound one hears when violence is brewing. ."Run' her out!" somebody called excitedly and the gathering gave an ominous . surge forward. "Yeh! Duck her!" Features e-quiver, the girl searched the circle for a friendly face in vain. "She's always let on nhe's too good for us oystcrmen," yelled the frowzy individual called Ferguson, "biit she's only another tramp just tho same. I know, I seen her with .that Mears guy." 'Oh-h-h " White with fury, the girl in the shabby tweed suit rushed forward and would have struck at her tormentor's bruised looking features had not a singular figure intercepted her quickly and efficiently. . .. . - t ''Just a' hiTnuf ?. lioys," came the
Stranger's incisive tones, "this m
euijposed, at least, to be a tree country, -so- the lady has a right to talk ji she want to." -iV'Stayoutta tHs.? 'Who 'do you 'mk you si-e anyway? "Shut up!"

Whether you fly 'em . . . or make the fuel that flies 'em . . . you learn something! - t , . The boys who have been filling Tojo's fleet as full of holes as an old tin can will have some interesting stories to tell when they get home. And Phillips is going to have some interesting things to tell you (and show you) too! Because a big part of our job the last five years has been to produce the 100-octane Aviation Fuel that has kept the big boys over Berlki and Tokjo. And it hasn't always been an easy job. In some ways it has involved almost as many trials and tribulations as a pilot goes through before he wins his wings. We've built vast new laboratories and staffed them with the wisest and most experienced scientists we could find. We've built new plants and introduced new processes. In short, we've gone "all out" with every bit of brains and brawn we have to give our fliers every ounce of precious 100-octane fuel that could be produced!
The result today Phillips is one of the very biggest producers of 100Utne Aviation Fuel in the country! That's a mighty important fact
and one of wlucli we re very proud. And it' sa. significant kct.too for every man and womanwho plans to drive a car after die war. Because you can bet your bottom dollar that all the experience, all tire know-how, all the scientific knowledge we've gained ki becoming one of the largest producers of 100-octane gasolinewill be packed into the Phillips 66 Gasoline which powers your post-war car! When you see the Phillips 66 Shield remember it stands for fuels for. Victory today, and fuels for better driving tomorrow.' , Phillips Petroleum Company, Bartlesvttle, Olla.
At once the oysterman lurched back with a ludicroui ,a..v.i . . . expression of surprise.

"Are you going to let this young lady talk, or aren't .you?" Ferguson's answer was a vicious swing at the stranger's jaw. Penned in by the fog, the crowd seemed suddenly enormous, with waterproof hats, baseball caps, seamen's caps bordering the entire visible! world. "Hey, fellars, let's give 'em room." - Gangling loafers in rusty blue jersies and tobacco stained dungarees promptly feljl back. "Soak that buttin' in tin soldier.''
someone yelled. "Whereja' get 'at
nick coat : Beneath , her tight gray jersey sweater, Geneva Benet's heart beat even more furiously. Mears had been right. She shouldn't have come to Patuxtown on Saturday when bugeyes, pungies and shallops were in along with oysters, booze and the devil. How would this brawl
end? Merely in battered faces and skinned knuckles or in staccato shots, followed by sudden significant silence? Ferguson, as she well knew, was a terrible rough-and-tumble fighter.
3he was almost by when an eddy
of the crowd halted her, at the same
ime exposing the battleground. In the center of the cleared space Ferguson, powerful and thick bodied, was wrenching off his coat. Boys and men, rank with fish odors and stale swet, crowded in. ( The big oysterman drove a vicious right at this wiry stranger who was of about equal height. The second combatant ducked under the blow and at the same time quickly cast loose the buttons of his uniform coat. - His face, she saw, was so high cheek-boned as to !e almost Indianlike in cast, and though it was young there were lines Wit that ought not to have been there and a dull red scar traversed his jaw from mouth to chin, ; Geneva' Benefc suddenly found herself inexplicably curious to knowwhy he had wandered to Patuxtown. "Stand and fight, yuh yellah monkey!"', roared tho. oysterman
At the deadly glare now pTayrng in the stranger's semi-dazed blue eyes, Geneva Benet felt sick she felt, nay, she knew that .something decisive was about to hamies. With a scarlet thread of blood trickling from a corner of his mouth, the man in the uniform coat swayed backwards, weakly but efficiently parrying bis nemy's furious blows unii, so quickly 'that the girl could not follow ite motion, the ex-soldier's right hand shot out. At once the oysterman lurched back, with a ludicrous expression of surprise stamped on his sweaty features; inexplicably his left arm was dangling limp by his side. Like a comber whieh retreats only to fling itself forward again, Ferguson gasped and gave ground but all the while fumbled behind him with his good hand. "God Almight!" came someone's breathless yelp, "look out he's got a knife!" .The crowd surged hark; fists were one thing, but cold steel was another. Borne with it' Geneva Benet frit an icy hand squeezing the warmth from her heart. "Cut him open," clamored one faction. ."Kick 'im, soldier! He'll knife yer else!" warned the other. The crowd milled and swayed across a pale road made, of crushed oyster shells and a half shout went up--when the scarred ex-soldier' leaped desperately back to avoid a furious slash which missed his jugular by a scant, inch. Quick as a recoiling spring the blue eyed man darted in to again deliver a curious chopping blow with the side of his hand. Instantly the big man uttered a strangled grunt and pitched forward on his face as suddenly as a marionette whose strings have been cut . Fickle as always, the crowd now roared in approbation. Though panting slightly, the victo looked about calmly enough, pushed a lock of dark red hair from his eyes and then gulped a long drink from the handiest bottle. "Have another, Mister?- Then show a guy how y'u did it." 1 "No thanks, boys, I'm a" bit warm," said the ex-soldier curtly.
