In 15 days, OWI said, the 12th Air Force Command, led by Major General James Doo little, used enough gasoline to empty every tank in the north western coastal shortage area, and to keep the tanks empty more than a month. Every day the 12th Air Force operated over the Mediterran ean, the planes consumed 1, 100,000 gallons of gasoline. In 15 days’ flying Doolittle’s fliers used 16,500, 000 gallons, or 1,550,000 more than the monthly ration of ^ gular gasoline for the Atlantic Seaboard. . Another example cited y OWI: A round-trip flight 300 Liberator bombers fr“® . British base to Berlin require 525,000 gallons. Haiti more’s daily gasoline ration demand is 5,000 less. .XT.

SYNOPSIS Notified that her brother, MELVIN MARSDEN, is missing in action, s JEAN MARSDEN, who has risen to the top as a fashion model, quits her job to become secre tary to STEVE LANDIS, director of a new rubber plant in Mexico. Jean has, an abrupt introduction to care free, handsome CURLEY, employed by MR. AND MRS. PARKINSON, owners of the Rancho Casolina. Jean appears to have roused the jealousy of ROSITA, pretty little Mexican girl who is in love with Curley. * * * YESTERDAY: Curley gives Jean a silver bracelet—in exchange for a kiss. CHAPTER FOURTEEN The next morning tne doors of the rubber company opened to re ceive the mass of unskilled work ers. To Steve and Jean, this, their long anticipated milestone, had been reached two days ahead of Steve’s original schedule. It meant actual work was about to begin. At seven, a few of the really energetic Mexican souls had ar rived, black hair slicked with oil, grinning with affability and excite ment, to sit patiently on the ground at the front gate. Both Steve and Jean were in the enormous, newly furnished person nel room at 9 o’clock when the stream of applicants was finally started through the process of I signing up. A flood of jubilant Spanish chattering continued unin terruptedly. Wild tears sometimes followed a rejection. And much back clapping and loud “Vivas!” accompanied the final triumph of a successful applicant. As the workers were sent to the various departments, inevitable adjustments had to be made in or I ganization and equipment. Steve was in almost constant conference with department heads. And on Jean’s shoulders fell a great deal of the work once taken care of by ,him. She had thought they had ^rushed before, but now. urder the I strained speed and added respon : sibilitv, all previous weeks seemed j periods of golden leisure. bne was giaa. mougn. 01 uus feverish activity in more ways than one. Steve’s spirits were ris i ing buoyantly each day nearer his goal of a complete factory per sonnel. He had a deep sense of individual responsibility toward the total war effort. The rubber pro duction was an important oppor tunity to fulfill his obligation of loyalty to his country, and he was making the most of it, with an urgency that rose above all ob stacles. Jean wras glad also for the rush because it gave her no chance to dwell upon her last ride with Cur ley, to ponder his strange w»ords that had followed that brief dis turbing kiss. “No matter what hap pens ... no matter what I do . . . I'll always feel the same way about you.” His black eyes had burned with a flame of serious in tensity, for that one swift moment. Hadn’t they? Or had she been duped by her racing pulse, her breathless desire to believe she had glimpsed an inner core of balance in him? Certainly when he escorted her to her door, he had been his old, carefree, light hearted self. She slid a sheaf of carboned ■ memo slips into her typewriter I and dated it. Probably, she told i herself grimly, Curley was at this | minute teasing the lovely Rosita. I Using his swaggering, cruel tech nique that she loved. After all, Rosita was far more his type seeking life as a romantic, make believe place, with flirting and love the only important activities. I Curley poked fun at her, but he was attracted by her, too. He would always go after her when she grew too angry—as he had at dinner that night. Steve appeared in his office door and crossed to read the memo over her shoulder. “Department Heads: There will be a meeting of department heads in the conference room at eight tomorrow morning. “S. LANDIS.” “Do you realize wnat tnat means?” She raced through the last “Gen eral Manager,” and then returned his jubilant grin. “It means—the machines start rolling tomorrow.” “And we’ll be making real rub ber lor truck tires,” Steve an swered, “real, live rubber, as Man zanares would say. Oh, there's an other memo. Tell Howard, James, Martin and Brower to come up here this noon.” Jean groaned. “And send up your lunch. Why don’t you try eat ing some noon without a confer ence?. You might live longer.” Steve’s eyes softened, focused on her, in sudden appreciation of her sea-green frock that brought out the creamy tan of her lovely skin, and the golden lights in her high swept hair. “I like solicitude even if I don’t seem to heed the ad vice,” he said quietly. “W hen things get under control around here, I’m going to take time out for a lot of things—including mak ing vour acauaintance.” “We’ll go for that ride you ar ranged for the first Sunday?” teased Jean. “Yes,” said Steve. A rueful note came into his voice. “The one where you met Curley. By t h e way, you didn’t hear anything of interest while you were at the rancho, by any chance?” Jean stiffened. Of course not. I wasn’t aware,” she added cold ly, “that I was out there as a spy.” “You weren’t, only— He was regarding her with quizzical sur prise. He suddenly gathered up the memos and rang for a mes senger. “I'm sorry I mentioned it,” he said cooly, as he turned to go. But, at that minute, the door burst open and Manzanares, bris tling with medals and importance, waded in. “Buenos dias!” he call ed cheerily. He bowed to Jean, and tweaked one comer of his mustache as he beamed on her. “You are looking even more radi ant than usual, senorita!” ‘^Thank you,” said Jean stiffly. “And she’s been working even harder.” Steve was exolaining her previous anger and silently apolo gizing to her for his questioning.

She wished violently they would both go on into Steve’s office. Steve was al ready holding his door open, but the chief of police still lingered. In sudden dismay, she realized his gaze was fastened on her arm. "A beautiful bracelet,” he was saying. His gleaming eyes were narrowed shrewdly. “It is from Penzaro’s place in Mexico City— the only silversmith in Mexico who does that work. You got it recent ly?” To her annoyance, Jean felt her face flame. “Yes,” she said. Steve’s voice cut in with sudden harsh impatience, “Shall we go into my office, Manzanares?” “Yes, certainly,” beamed the chief of police. “If Miss Marsden will accompany us. I should like to ask her several questions.” Silently, Jean followed them. Manzanares seemed unaware of the strained atmosphere as he launched happily into his story. “We have jus l received word from Mexico City this morning of some meetings the police have been sus pecting. One was held in an old theater last week. It was the same time as Mr. Parkinson was gone on his trip.” “I see,” said Steve sharply. “So we will keep our eyes on him very sharp alter this,” oeam ed the chief. 1 don t liKe me idea oi mai plane of his buzzing around,” said Steve. ‘‘It will be grounded because of the defense area here,” Manza nares assured him. Jean's taut control suddenly snapped. She glared at the little man. ‘‘It seems to me that’s a very far-fetched coincidence you’re basing all this suspicion on,” she snapped. She glared at the little man. ‘‘If you are so curious about that trip to Mexico City, why don’t you two go up and ask the Park insons about ir I imagine Mr. Parkinson would be very glad to explain it to you in detail.” She caught up the ringing phone, glad of an excuse to get control of herself. It was a girl’s voice. ‘‘This is the telegraph office. We have a telegram here for Miss Jean Marsden. Is this Miss Mars den?” “Yes.” A panic or premonition sent the blood pounding through Jean’s head. Tremblingly she reached for a memo pad on Steve’s desk, and took the words of the message in shorthand. Steve and Manzanares saw the slow pallor creep over her face, the pencil drop from her hand as she replaced the receiver. Steve moved to her side. ‘‘What is it? he queried gently. Dully she answered, ‘‘My brother in Africa has been located. He is a German prisoner.”_ SLENDERIZING LINES V4ZZ j MARIAN MARTIN Be charming and feminine in this Marian Martin afternoon frock that’s so attractive in cot ton or rayon!
