' More ''than 1,000 bombers of the U. S. „Eighth Air Force alone have been brought haat to their bases -by the electronic autopilot when manual controls had been . shot away' by enemy action. These planes would have crashed over enemy territory if the auto piled had -not been part of their standards equipment, and that means that approximately 10,000 - men were saved from death or, capture, When the single set of control cables in a` bomber — to which both of the double set of pilot can - trots are connected - is incapaci- tated by flak or enemy fighters, the pilot loses manual. control ,of the aircraft. Butthe pilot can still operate the airplane by means of the autopilot. The automatic device, through buttons on the plane's' instrument board, controls the lateral and ho- rizontal movements of the plane, by means of local "servo" electric motors on each of the plane's con- trols, just as efficiently as if done by hand. It was by this latter me- thod that most of the injured air- craft were brought M.

Old Mimi Fabre, sang softly as she went upstairs to her rooln. "So like a play;"' she mused, "so like many in which I have taken part." Ah, if madame could have sat beside Meph'isto pallet as he rode in his rich limousine' down the mountain - and read AO went ' on in his dark mind, she would have realized that she had never played in any piece so starkly, ter- ribly real as this; if she could have been transported to far-off Eng- land and there stationed on a blitzed quayto watch the embark- ation of a group of prisoners, for- mer members of the ,Luftwaffe, to see . one tall youth among them — ah, then she would have known that here was no gay light comedy, Iwo Chocolate Soldier or pretty pastime cut ftom. cardboard! But she could see hone of •these. things. She went' to her room and sat in her big chair and dreamed happily over a cigarette until she heard ,the light voices, the muffled laughter of the little ones in the hall, ' * * * They canto into madame's sitting room quietly, the young Goujons seeming all eyes, "Ah, we shall have a gay party, my little ones! Never before have I entertained such lovely and ap- preciative guests, and.1 have never before been so honored. Did' you have a good game on the lawn?" "We taught Emil ntd Magda how to play Bouhomme Fricot," said Pol Jslartitt, r "Ile did not' want to play being the soldier N*110 came down out of the sky in his. parachute and marched up to Bonbon -tine Fricot's door and killed hini." "It was not good," said Emil. "Blit since this was only make- believe I did not mind after a while. But I would not like to shoot an old man." "Eh, well," said madame, "we shall soon find more cheerful games for you to play. We shall have a great many other children' ,here as•your companions, and we'll find amusements that will help you, when you grow up,_ to be strong men and good women." * * Gesner, the new butler, aided by Corinne, came into the room push- ing a tea wagon whose little wheels were surely built of the best oak, such a mighty load of good. things did they have to bear ice cream of.

"Oh!" said the little Goujons, their eyes growing even wider, their hands moving involuntarily, and Pol Martin's eyes sparkled. Only Rosine, who had stood up to let Gesner move her cushion,'ntade. no sound, gave no sign of rapture. Site stood close to Madame's tall dresser and she was staring up at the picture partly pushed aside and almost !ridden by mnadame's black lace reticule — a photograph of a' laughing fellow, framed in chrome. And Rosine's eyes held shock and. v onderment and terror and her lips opened as if she would cry out. * * * "You are sot ilf, child?" Madame had noticed how much slower than the others Rosine was emptying Ler plate. "Alt, perhaps you do not like my party?"
