Anderson, Secretary of Agriculture. Mr. Anderson underscores the fats and oils shortage in an appeal to women and has authorized the American Fat Salvage Committee to release his message. In asking women's help in the fats and oils shortage, the Secretary of Agriculture sees increased household fat salvage as aid to meeting needs. Mr. Anderson says:

"The scarcity of fats and oils is one of the most serious problems confronting our Nation. But' it is one shortage which the women of America can help to meet. . "There is little hope of major improvement in the domestic supply of fats and oils in the near future, nor can we expect a rapid increase of imported oils from the Pacific. "Farmers have responded to the call to produce more animal and vegetable fats and oils. But we are still unable to meet vartime demands. ; . . "During the war years we have changed from an importing to an exporting nation on fats and oils. Our domestic stocks are at a low ebb and our war, industrial and relief needs are at a, peak. , "in 1945 we need 250.000,000 pounds of used household fats to help fill our existing deficit. If American housewives don't meet this goal, we will have to further curtail the allotments for civilian, industrial and military uses. "This is an important job for women ! Homemakers all over the land in cities, towns and villages, and on farms should save and turn in every available drop of used kitchen fat. It means cash and extra red ration points. "But above all, it's a real War Service women can perform for themselves and for their country."

SYNOPSIS As Geneva Benet approaches the wharf at Patuxtown on the Chesapeake, Tod Ferguson, a burly oysterman, lurches toward her and, with a sneer on his lips, rasps, "Killed anybody down there this week?" Geneva tells the surrounding mob that Ferguson is angry because her father, Captain Benet, discharged him from the "Amerika." Ferguson retorts, "Because to pleas that guy you say is yef paw I wouldn't go down below in the 'Amerika' aiitt get the same dose as the others." A.youthful stranger in an old military coat and cap comes to Geneva's assistance. Ke whips Ferguson. ' ' CHAPTER II The crowd parting at that Instant permitted the scarred stranger's alert and almost wary eyes to encounter Geneva Benet's troubled .ray ones. His taut smile signified nothing, but he looked suddenly younger when he said: "Kslio, Sister, hovr did ypa like our private war?" Coiwr flamed back into the delicate, slightly tanned oval of the girl's faca. .'Thank you," she murmured brentHlwis'ly.' "Ferg-uson"jrot- what Is diervf'H, biit I I hope' you haven't l.iih d hiii.i." The man in th uniform coat fixed on the wide-eyed girl a lingering, '.urhusly intent look,, then carelorsly stirred the fallen oystermau's he d with a worn boot sole. ."Not this chinchcro," be drawled. "They're born to hang. Two to one jio, fira to one he'll be sp Rnd .rcr.njie m.-4s of ton minutes." He 'a-? aM-cssing the onlookers. "Any takers? No I see you've a lot of rorl sports in this burg." So saying, he who , had lainlod fucm lhe Octopus Oil tanker deliberately to fuel his. hack on both girl ; rmd cVc'.'d mill swung off almost. ivri'K.n.'.y in the dilution of the . villsjre. - So;''" t'le time later ex-Co7ncl '. DontW Xihy, late A. . C. to Uenjr?A Oon.alo Gutierrez, frowned 1 trhn in through the back door of ftta Pike's F-lite Lunch Room and Chore Di-mer driflwd the usur.l odors of Patuxtown at low tide. "Any work to be had .'around hero?'' Colby demnndcl of the dinlap.' room ir. jrenpl. A grizzled bysterman at a nearby (able paused with loaded knife half yezy to his mouth and winked at a ,;-roup across the room before he .aid, ' , ' ''Work? You-nll kin maybe git a job on thorn there Shippiu' Board fessds." "Shut yo' big meuth, Dan," tftpi)d the blousy proprietress."He jj.y bo a stranger, but he's got sarr.i' rights."

The rights of u. an are a ram firix in this country." . Etta Pike, suspicious of mockery, regarded the gaunt gallant figure with d'iifavor. "Riithts? You talk like a liobheveok. Well, all fsays . is that " hw voice trailed oli into incoherence i? she commenced to retrieve a snidll fleet of "side" dishes from a distant table. "What about that job?" Colby demanded of the grizzled oysterman, who, however, scptued loath to talk fifrther on t-ie sul'.ict. "Aw, 'tain't nothin' much, Etty's . ri?bt and yore a furriner." j "Never mind that," the ex-sol-i dicr's dark blue eyes narrowed a

I "Well, they need a watchman j down to Point Patience Some old I liners is laid up tiiere." "Watchman? Why all this mysI tery then?" Colby demanded through a cloud of smoke rising from battered pipe. Patrons exchanged glances when he who had first spoken went on, i Iiis eja kept studiously ou his plate. "Oh, I reckon there ain't nawthen' to be scairt about, only well, only there's been some trouble on thera old German ships." "Why dirn't yo' say 'murders', Bill, and be done with it?" demanded a surly looking an. "Ain't none o' the three been hoard of, have I they?" I "Murders ?

They went on duty and then they wasn't to be found nOwheres. No noise, no struggle, but somebody or somethin' surely got 'em."- i The various guests ceased eating and Colby was aware of a eurious tension -.rather like that time in Bolivia when he'd sat in on the court-martial of a spy; "Some folks 'Hows it was haunts," volunteered a pimply youth.. :, Colby's head tilted back in a short laugh.

"Oh, so Ferguson was on those boats? Why did he get fired?" "You ask a heap a' questions, Mister and- since them, murders we're kind of watchin' strangers in town " "Don't worry, I'm bound for Baltimore tonight." Colby tosse.d a half dollar on the table. "Thanks for tie tip but 'forty a month doesn't interest m not even with the prospect of meeting a busy Patuxtown htiunt." : Om-e outside, .the tall wanderer found that the fog had become a woolly, all-smolh'.'ring blanket from the depths of wnieh sirens, horns and whistles moaned disconsolate as lost souls in the Seventh Cjrcle of Inferno. It was with difficulty that he found Jiis way at last to a ferry pier wh'-ch also did doty as a bus terminal. ' ( "Vu 1 is pow'ful rly fo' de bus," called a negro roustabout in tattered dungarees.
