Then, the Ester brook family receives word that Rankin has been kUled. With a patriotic fervor inspired by Kan kin's death, 8usan takes the first steps toward enlisting in the Waves. In order to forget her grief, she phones Pierre and asks him to take her dancing. With Pierre at the tune, are Carl Coo per and a sinister-looking friend named Hermann. They suggest that Pierre induce Susan to show him her father's war plant. They hint that, unless he cooperates with them, harm may come to his relatives in France. When they leave, he Is badly worried, for he realizes they must be Nazis but, because of their threats, he's afraid to report them to the authorities. CHAPTER IX him.

Shall we dance again?" "I'd Ulce it very much," said Pierre. BUT before they reached the dance floor. Carl Joined them. "Hello, you two!" he said. "How do you do, Mr. Cooper?" said Susan. Pierre said nothing. He was eye ing the woman who was sitting at the table which Carl had just left. Beautiful but hard, he thought. Just the sort of woman Carl Cooper would invite out for an evening. "I have with me," Carl was say ing, "a compatriot of yours, Pierre. Madame Lecouvreur, from close to your own village." "Yes?" said Pierre. "We should like yon and Miss Esterbrook to join us." Susan hesitated a moment. Why not? After all, she and Pierre were certainly not cheering each other up to any extent.

Fox United Press Correspondent 1 Denver (U.PJ A staff of army doctors, equipped with the finest instruments and trained in latest methods, is engaged these days in wiping out the mystery and fear that traditionally has sur rounded surgical operations on the human brain- and nervous system. Their, patients are soldiers who come from training camps and battlefields by plane, train and ambulance to this largest army medical center in the nation, Fitzsimons Hospital. Some have brain tumors, others spinal injuries, and even more have suffered paralyzing wounds which have severed nerve channels or caused pres sure on the brain. Many of them cannot walk, sec or hear, and others show symptoms of insan ity so great is their pain or the effect of their wound. "We use common-sense surgi cal practices on these men, said Maj. J. M. Cameron, surgeon in charge of the neurosurgical sec tion of the giant hospital. "There is little difference between an operation to remove a tumor on the brain and one to remove a tumor elsewhere in the .body. Often the brain operation is more simple." The first step in troatine a Da- tient with a brain injury is the exact location of the trouble. Sometimes tumors, abscesses and brain lesions are located by ordi nary X-ray photographs. Some times it Is necessary to ' intro- ouce air into the spinal canal and brain ventricles before tak ing the "pictures." Records Impulses Another amazing new device with heavy hearts. Back at their table, ready for the next course, Susan told Pierre that she had taken the first step toward joining the WAVES. He looked at her. That's what you meant when you said you ex pected to be going away?" he said. "Yes, Pierre." 'Mutt you go?" fit's not compulsory, like the draft, but I want to go." "I can understand that," said "Warwork.yes?" asked Madame. That, and other things." "Miss Esterbrook has joined the Navy," said Pierre. "Like all brave American women, she is going to do her bit." Carl looked at Pierre and then at Susan. "Will you be leaving soon?" he asked. "Yes." said Susan. "Perhaps, before you leave. youU Pierre.

"Yes, he brought a friend with led Susan away. "I'm sorry to cut the evening were outside. "But I am wearier than I thought." . Not until she reached home, did it suddenly occur to her that it was odd Pierre had never mentioned a desire to see her father's fac tory. . . .

Variations in the lines disclose the nature of the trouble and its location to the trained scientist-surgeon. Next comes the actual opera tion. Pieces of broken bone are cut away and replaced with plas tic lucite. Pressure is relieved by skillful removal and insertion of bones. Tumors are cut awav with knives which use electric sparks instead of steel as their cutting edge. One soldier came to Fitzsim ons with Jiis leg completely para lyzed the sciatic nerve had been cut when Jap bombers strafed Pearl Harbor. Doctors formerly would have amputated today they bring the nerve ends back together. But it was not possible to stretch the nerve cables too much. Three operations were neces sary. Each time the nerve ends were brought closer together and the youth waited until the stretched position . became the normal position for the nerve. Finally, the -nerve ends were linked, the coverings of the nerve cables were sewed together with tataium wire, thinner than a hair. Then the nerve fibres grew together again and the soldier will be walking again within a snort time. The recuperation period comes next, ana Major Cameron dis. closed that a revolutionary new meinoa was discovered as an in. direct result of the Battle of Britain. , Formerly it had been thought a -patient should lie in bed for a long time after a brain opera tion. But during the German raids on London, hospitals were so crowded that patients had to leave their beds within two or three days after an operation to make way for others. It soon was found that the patients who were forced to sit up and walk around recovered more rapidly than those who remained in bed. "The answer is slmDle ." said Major Cameron. "The injured brain heals better in its normal position, the position where blood supplies reach the various parts in a normal way and there is no unnatural pressure on the brain as a result of being in one posi tion for a long time." Major Cameron said that be fore the war there.were.'perhaps 300 neurosurgical specialists in the United States, and that many of them- have entered military service. The war with its large number of neurosurgical cases is giving surgeons unprecedented opportu nities to evaluate various meth ods and technics, he said. , RIDES FATHER'S BIKE Clearwater, Fla.
