Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1943 SQJSARJ OF the WAVES by ALLEN EPPES DM, tr Can rtatan InllM tM. Susan Esterbrook, New York glamour girl, foe ling that the hould do something worth while In the war effort, decides to join the Waves. 6 he Is being eourted br Pierre Dupre, a Fighting Frenchman, and by Dick Craig, a young man who has a war Job In Washington. However, she has ' (alien in love with Harvey Rogers, an Army Byer on leave. Mean while, Pierre is being threatened by two men whom be suspects of being Nasi agents Carl Cooper and his friend Hermann. They hint that, unless Pierre gets Su san to snow him through her father's war plant, harm may come to his relatives in France. That evening, when he takes Su san to a night club, they run into Carl and a Frenchwoman, Ma dame Lecouvreur. The latter seems eager to make friends with Pierre, but he shies away from her. Just before Harvey's leave ends, he proposes to Susan. She feels they shouldn't marry while the future Is so uncertain, but she promises to wait for him. Ashdrt time after he goes away, she goes to a Waves training center In New England. CHAPTER XVm TTIAT first day with the ' Waves, as well as the sec ond one, and the third, would always be something of a blur when Susan recalled them. She was forced to answer endless questions, and was Inoculated for this, that, and the other thing. She was fitted for uniforms, tried on the official Wave hat, got a differ ent sort of hairdo. She slept in the upper berth of a two-decker bed. and adjusted herself to having three roommates. And she found time to send a word home, a letter to Harvey, and short notes to Dick and Pierre. Then there was the business of getting acquainted with schedules. Hours of drilling and athletics, hours of grueling study. In the evening, she was too dog tired to do anything but tumble into bed. There, before falling into a healthy sleep, she would think of home, of Pierre, of Dick, but mostly of Harvey. She wondered when her letter would reach him, and when she would get her first letter bearing his handwriting. She also won dered if Dick was stepping out with his secretary, and hoped that he I was. If he would only fall in love with her. it would make things so much easier all around. And Pierre? Was he still lonely and un . settled? DOWN In New York, Pierre read her mote over and over, and wrote one to her. He missed her with every fiber of his being. He put something of what he felt into the letter he was writing, and then stepped out to mail it. It was when he returned that he had the telephone call from Mad ame Lecouvreur. "It was most unkind of yon, my dear Pierre Dupre." she said, "not to come to my tea, when I was so counting on you." "I'm sorry." Pierre told her. "But I was not well." He was lying, but he hadn't wanted to run Into Carl Cooper and his friend Hermann. "Do forgive me. please." "On one condition" said Mad ame. That you come to see me this evening. I am lonely, and we lost and homeless French people should comfort each other." Pierre frowned. Madame Lecou vreur hadn't Impressed bun very favorably on the night of their meeting, and be had made US his mind not to see her again. But now he detected something in her voice that touched him. She did sound lonely. Perhaps he might find a lit tle surcease from his own loneli ness if he visited her for a while. The fact that he had not liked her that first time shouldn't make him unkind now. Maybe if he had met her in the company of someone other than Carl, he would have gotten a different impression. Then a sudden thought came to him one that made him stiffen. Perhaps Carl and Hermann were trying to use her. Just as they were trying to use nun. u this were true, then it was his place to see the woman, to try to convey to her something of what be felt about the two men. "You will come over?" 'Madame urged. "Yes?" "I shall be delighted." Pierre said. "What time will be convenient for-you?" "At once," she replied. "We shall have a nice long talk about the old days and the France we love. A friend has given me some rare old wine. Perhaps it will make you think of the great and wonderful Dupre vineyards. Pierre's heart began 4o warm. "I shall be there Just as soon as a taxi can make the trip, he said. A SHORT time later, a taxf de- posited him in front of the house in which the Frenchwoman lived a remodeled brownstone. He drew a long breath, stepped into the small, dimly-lit vestibule and struck a match in order to see which botton to press. He found it and pressed. In a moment there was a clicking sound. He turned the knob of the door and entered. He didn't know which floor he was supposed to visit, but climbed a flight of stairs and started another. "Here I am. M'sier Dupre!" a feminine voice called from above. He looked up. Madame Lecouv. reur was smiling at him over the rail on the next floor. "I do hope the climb has not been too much!' she said as he reached her. "This way. please. She led him into a rear apart ment. The living room was attrac tively furnished. There was a fire place, and In It a glowing fire was burning. ."This Is charming," said Pierre. "Our mutual friend, Carl Cooper. found it for me," Madame told him. The mere mention of the man's name disturbed Pierre. "By the way," he said, as he sat down and stretched out his feet to the Are. "Just what do you know about cooper?" . "How do you mean?" "I find it difficult to put into words," said Pierre, "but there are times when he troubles me, makes me think that " He stopped short as the buzzer sounded. "Oh. are you expecting other company?" "Yes." said Madame. "Mr. Coo per Is coming. He and his friend, Hermann." "Then perhaps I'd better come again some other time, said Pierre, rising. "I understood you were alone and wanted to talk of the old days." , "I do want to talk of them." Ma. dame said, pressing a button that would release the lock downstairs. "So do Carl and Hermann. We shall Have a quiet evening together, with some cards, maybe. Yes?" Pierre sank back into his chair. He had the feeling of one caught in trap.

Ship Inspector, 79, Hailed Designer Of First Good Sub Br Oertrude Burch Philadelphia U.PJ After half century, H. E. Dantzebecher, 79-year-old naval architect, and the oldest shipbuilding Inspec tor in the U. S. Maritime Commission, has been credited with being the designer of the first practical submarine. Living In virtual obscurity in I " . a North Philadelphia rooming ventions were exposed to public fiuuse, jjtiiiueoecner s oia . xor recognition would have been lost entirely but for the late Wil liam A. Dobson, internationally known shipbuilder. Dantzebecher's story, as told in a. document written in long hand by Dobson at the age of 89, begins in 1890 when the for mer was secretary to the city controller, spending his leisure time and all his money building boats. The U. S. Navy had ad vertised for submarine designs ahd Dantzebecher went to work putting his ideas on paper. Dobson, then chief draftsman of the Navy's Bureau of Con struction and Repair, and later, Chief Naval Architect, spoke as a member of the Navy Depart ment when he said he believed Dantzebecher's plans were the best submitted. . . The most revolutionary fea tures of the design were two gasoline engines with twin screws, diving planes and a hy draulic rudder control features common to all submarines to day. "These new features," Dobson said, "would have made Dantze becher's the first practical sub marine. It was the first time the internal combustion gasoline engine was even hinted at in un dersea craft." However, the Navy required all bidders to post bond with their bids and have sound finan cial backing. Only one bidder could meet these qualifications and he got the contract. When the bids were opened Dantzebecher's unpatented in- examination and his plans be came general knowledge. Later submarine builders were , able to incorporate his ideas. "All the features of Dantze becher's submarine were patent able," wrote Dobson, "but we didn't have the vision to unite with him and put up the cash. "Although some 50 years have elapsed since Mr. Dantze becher submitted his . epoch making submarine and others have claimed certain features of his design," Dobson concluded, "the credit of anticipating future developments of submarines re mains with Mr. Dantzebecher, and to him should go the hon or." Sitting in his room in Phila delphia's Germantown, Dantze becher said he, too, believes the credit should be his. "I would rather get the credit officially," he said, "than to have received profits from de velopments in sub ' building throughout these years." DESERVING ONLY Because of the acute ahnrtase of logging truck tires the Port land OPA district nffl h re quested the local rationing board to issue no tires to the undeserv ing, according to L. L. Ternahan, executive secretary nf ih hnarH Lack of recapping, carrying ex cessive loads and speeding are abuses on the rjart of snmn lnr. ging truck operators which Will place them in the undeserving class, Mr. Ternahan states.
