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.

in 1908.
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."

we are faced with a breakdown
of log production on account of
