Pierre (alls In love with her and, one Blent, he ask her to marry him. She refuses, tell ing him that she Is seriously Considering joining the Waacs or the Wares. Dick Craig, an other suitor, who Is about to leave lor Washington to take a war Job, has also proposed and received the same answer. Susan's patri- , otic seal is inspired partly by the (act that her favorite cousin. Rankin, is overseas. After she leaves Pierre to go to a service canteen where she is a hostess, Pierre is joined by Carl Cooper, . who suggests that Pierre ask Su san to take him through her father's plant, CHAPTER HI CUSAN made her way into the " crowded canteen. It was a big night, and the place was packed with men from the Army, the Navy, the Marines, and the Air Corps. A name band was playing, and the girls who had come to dance with the men were being whirled about like so many col orful dolls. He eyed her. "Where's your camera and cameraman the one who usually follows you about?" Suddenly, Susan caught her breath I Sitting alone In a corner was a young flyer who was so much like her cousin Rankin It gave her a little shock. He had the same blond hair, the same shaped face. She hurried over to him. "Like to dance?" she asked. The flyer looked up, and arose. Thanks, no." "Mind if I sit here with you?" "Not at all. Only I warn you I'm not very good company." , "I'll risk It," said Susan. Re eyed her. and asked. -"Where Is your camera and cameraman?" "What camera and camera man?" "The one who usually follows you about. You're Susan Ester brook, aren't you?" "I am," said Susan. "How did you know?"

"Everything you have ever done has either tjeen photographed or written up." "I see," said Susan. Just a bit annoyed. "It's nice I came to your attention. It makes It unnecessary for me to Introduce myself." "Coming to the attention of peo ple is one of the best things you do. You must have an extraordinarily good press agent." "I have no press agent," said Susan. "And since you seem rather disapproving, perhaps I'd better toddle along." "Oh. no. dont do that!" The man laid a detaining hand upon her arm. "I've never met a glamour girl only seen 'em -In the movies. Seeing one In person gives ma something of a kick." He grinned. "And since you're sacrificing your time to entertain us brave men In uniform, stick around and do your stuff." TOUHE the first man I've met who seems bitter about fight ing that Intrigues me." "Hey. don't get me wrong I I'm not bitter only a bit weary and maybe a bit disillusioned." "About what?" "Oh, lots of things, but mostly because don't have a good press agent." "Were you an actor?" "Heaven forbid I Only I suppose being a playwright, or would-be playwright. Isn't any better." "What plays have you written?" "Endless numbers, but none you would know. They got tryouts on the road and died a-borning. Now, tell me about yourself," "I thought you knew already," said Susan. "All those pictures and newspaper stories." The man laughed. "I particu larly liked the one where you had a row with a fruit peddler who was mistreating his horse. You must have looked cute sitting up on the seat, driving the nag to the ASPCA." "I suppose you think I did It all for the sake of publicity." said Susan. "As a matter of fact, I did think Just that at the time. But I don't any more. Since meeting you. I know It was the publicity that sought you, not the other way around." "Thanks!" oald Susan. She KJR; Walter Wlnchell, KPO. 11:00 p. m. Dnnco Orch., KPO. KOW. KOIN: News, KNX.

OREGON," SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1943 turned the man s lace morecioseiy. "I was drawn to you because you resemble a cousin of mine." "And not for my own personal charm?" "Your reflected charm only," said Susan. "My cousin is overseas somewhere." "He is? Perhaps I shall meet him." "You mean you're going over?" "I've already been over, several times. But that's a forbidden topic." "Yes, I know," said Susan. "Shall we dance now?" "Let's," the man replied. "But maybe I ought to tell you my name. It's Harvey Rogers." DANCING was difficult on the small floor, but they did well by themselves. Harvey was a good dancer, and he kept fighting off men who wanted to cut in. How ever, he didn't always succeed, dther men were too insistent. An hour passed, two hours and ' once more they were together, he and Susan. "I've got to go now," Susan told him. "Early morning first-aid class." "Do I see you again?" said Harvey. He had a sudden Idea. "How about skating? I watched them at the Rockefeller rink this afternoon, and envied them. You do skate, don't you?" "I love it," said Susan. "Then how about lunch with me tomorrow, at the British restaurant in the sunken plaza? We can eal and skate, or vice versa." "Let me think," said Susan. "To morrow's a busy day. But maybe I could meet you around two. That too late for your lunch?" "I'll eat a late breakfast," Harvey said. He took her out to a taxlcab. "Good night Susan, and thanks for being so swell." "Good night Harvey," said Su san. "I'm awfully glad you under stand about the publicity." She gave the driver her address, and was' driven away. IT was one o'clock when Susan went to bed, and eight o'clock when she went down to breakfast. Her mother and father were al ready at the table. " Well, well ! " Mr. Esterbrook said good-naturedly. "What have I done to deserve tills?" "Deserve what?" asked Susan and her mother in unison. "The company of both my wife and offspring, so early In the morn ing," said Mr. Esterbrook. "Why so early up. after so early in?" "Neatly put, my beloved parent!" said Susan. "I have a first-aid class at nine-thirty work to do at a Red Cross place a meeting tc attend to hear about the shortage of stirrup pumps and a luncheon engagement with a uniform." "Is the uniform a duty or a pleas ure?" , "Both." Susan's face softened "Dad, he's so much like Rankin 1) does things to my heart.'' "Your heart!" said her mother. "Then for heaven's sake, stay away from him. Poor Dick's got enough competition as it Is, with Pierre and half a dozen others. What brand) of the service Is he In?" "He's a flyer." said Susan. "He wouldn't talk about It, of course, but I've an Idea he takes bombers over. He mentioned having been over several times." "That's a pretty dangerous Job, Isn't It?" "Yes," said Susan. "He's 'nice, Dad. Even the way he talks re minds me of Rankin." Mrs. Esterbrook looked at net closely. "I've always had a sneak ing idea, Susan, that you were In love with Rankin." "So have I!" said Susan. Tve always had Rankin as a sort of Ideal I mean I've always thought of the man I should marry as look ing like him, being like him." "Does that mean you've fallen In love with the young flyer?" her father asked. Susan shook her head. "I only met him last night, at the canteen." But a dreamy look had come Into her eyes. , (To be continued) (The characters in this serial art Actittous) iCopi. 1943. by Qrsmerer Publishing Co.1 aiDazaiiaiTQiD Featuring Music from SAMSON AND DELILAH CARMEN with soloists Kerstin Thorborg John Garris Gaetano Merola Conducting SAN FRANCISCO UNWILLING GUEST 15 FORCED TO APPEAR AT PROP MOTHtR's TEA PAKTY-K6- AND TS-lbS TO PICK IT SELP, PUTTING AN fcNO TIRES WITH COOKIE TO UP WITHOUT SETTING TO NEAR-BY CONVER- A.

New York OJ.PJ It takes all kinds of bombs as well as planes to make an air force. The United States army air forces has a bomb for every purpose, from a 100-pounder, which can wreck a locomotive. to one . weighing 42 times as much, capable of laying waste a city block. The AAF uses three kinds of bombs In combat demolition, fragmentation and chemical. Be fore each bombing mission it is necessary to decide not only the weight of bombs carried but the sizes of the individual bombs and the types of fuses and bomb cases which will give the maxi mum effect against the target, according to the army air forces issue of "Flying." 1 Demolition Types Demolition bombs alone have five types: GP General purpose, 50-55 explosive SAP Semi-armor piercing,- 32 explosive AP Armor-piercing, 5-12 explosive DB Depth bomb, . 70-75 explosive. The GP bomb is so strong it can be dropped without ruptur ing from an altitude of 8,000 feet against a slab of concrete four feet thick. With a delayed action fuse such a bomb would crash through to the basement of most buildings, bury itself several feet in the ground near a bridge and penetrate the decks of all but cruisers and battle ships. The largest GP 2,000 pounds can sink or seriously damage a battleship with a direct hit 'or from as far away as 35 feet when exploded in the water. The SAP 1,000-pounder will penetrate the side or deck of all naval craft except battle cruisers and battleships. SAP bombs range In weight from 699 to 1,600 pounds. The biggest AAF bomb of all Is the LC blockbuster 4,200 pounds of bomb containing 3,362 pounds of explosive, equipped with an instantaneous fuse so that-its terrific blast will occur before the bomb case ruptures. The LC was designed for a tar get which provides its own "tamping" e.g., a congested city block, "Tamping" is the con finement of the explosive with in the target, with no holes through which its energy may escape. To accomplish this GP, SAP and AP bombs are made to explode only after penetra tion of a building, the ground, a ship, or the water beside the ship. The LC explodes on impact, Destruction caused by a well- tamped explosive may be 4.5 times as the same amount tin tamped.

Such fragments, bursting at 200 feet, will pene trate a wing or gas tank, cut tires and control wires, perforate radiators and intercoolers.
