Rough -On -Lice When the Allied armies occupied southern Italy they found the may- or of a village to be a former Neiv Yorker who had been home to Italy on a visit when he was trap- ped by the war. He had a son-in- law who had been in the Italian army. "When he came hone," said the father-in-law, "he had three pounds of lice on hive." This is one horror of war that is now con- trolled. A new chemical has been developed which is deadlier to lice than any other insecticide. It is a powder and one sprinkling on soldiers' clothing provides anti - louse protection for a full month. The Wrong Time And Wrong Place But for the war, comments the Los Angeles Times, Mexico these last few months would have been one of the world's hot spots for news—and literally. The one and only mountain born in this gen- eration is rising to the accom- paniment of volcanic fireworks within 20 miles of that republic's capital and a meteor as big as several houses recenly fell in the State of Sinaloa. "Too bad", laments the Los Angeles 'paper, "the former did not pop up under the Imperial Palace in Tokyo and that the latter didn't land on Berchtesga- den." uality counts most—for that rich, satisfying flavour which only a fine quality tea yields, use.. VICTOR ROSSEAU CHAPTER XXIV There sounded the creak of sad- dles, the scamper of horses hoofs. Then came Coggewell'a sudden challenge out of the dark: "Sky high, the pair of y:ul 'Stour covered!" Panic-stricken, Lonergan twisted this way and that, as be recognized the sheriffs voice. Now, ,in the faint starlight, be could see two mounted figures looming up out of the scrub close at hand. "Beat it!' hissed Curran• in 'his ear. "Thee -re on the wrong side of the gully!" Dave and Coggswell had come tip on the other side of the ravine which, at this point near its bliljd end, was little more than a coulee.. It was, however, too wide to seta. horse to jump it. Next inetaiit Cti'r- ran was op his knees and firing at - the two mounted figures. Dave felt a slug thump interhis saddlehorn. lie emptied' his gtm at the flashes, and heard a , pain. He saw the other figure rac- ing away, diml; outlined against th . sky, Then Curran was follow- ing, bending almost depublegaveatratd ing in and out of the scrub, With his hand clapped to his ear. "Git Miss Lois, Bruce. I'll ltat tie this pair!" the sheriff shouted, and' he raced his horse around the bald:. end of the gully. * •* Dave, cramming fresh cartridges into his gun, saw the two weaving figures attempting to mount two of the group of horses that were chis- tered together near the .cabin en trance. Coggswell was almost Igateasa them, his gun blazing. There'brie a single shot in return, then she thump and clatter of hoofs, und' one of .the pair was racing along the j trail, leaning flat upon his horse's neck. Tltis was Curran, making his get- away at top speed, while Coggswell was struggling with Lonergan. Dave raced his stallion to the sl eriff's side. "H'e'll git the other., Bruce," said Coggswell. "See if Miss Lois is in the cabin." Dave required no third invite-. tion. He ' dashed's: into the shack The candles were guttering oz the table in the outer room, but the. room was empty. But in the stall er ruom Dave saw a little figure gagged and bound. "Lois!"' His voice went r• e in e cry of fury. He rap to le . slit the gag with his 'jacltknife, "Lois! Lois!" he whispered. "They ain't harmed :tyuh, honey girl?" * * * She tried to - speak, but could only reach up for Dave's neck, He bent to covered her face. with kisses. "They ain't harmed yuh?" "No," said Lois in the faintest whisper. "I'm all right, Dave." Dave swung about as the sheriff entered the cabin with his prison- er. "I got her, sheriff,' he called. "They ain't harmed her. Who was the other coyote, Lois?" "Curran!' Lois' voice was just audible. "Yeah, Curran,' said the sheriff grimly. "I reckernized him, Dun - no yet who was shot, but I'll know soon. Yuh best come through'Lon- ergan," he continued. "No use splutterin like a trapped cat. There's too mucin evidence against yult. And l'en stayiin' here till yuh talk. Longergan glared at his captor, then seemed to wilt. "Coggswell, I'll talk—I'll talk to you," he said. "I'11 talk when we're alone. Get mer„ "No difficulty about that;" said Lonergan, "Bruce, s'pose yuh take Miss Lois back to her cabin on yore horse. She'll be feelin' bet- te' there, and I'll see yuh there before the night's through." x * Pave picked the girt up m his arms and carried her to where Blick Dawn was standing. He raised her into the saddle and swung up behind her. "Dave, they shot Mr. Ferris.," whispered Lois, shuddering. "I heard the shot. ':.'hey trapped him here." "Ferris?" Dave cried. He pulled Black Dawnguroand and rode up to the cebiegdanor. "Sheriff, Lois says . ttre`fiRrib ?erns that they shot just ` how," ' "Yeah," came the sheriffs vita 'ce, "Mr. Lonergan's just told tr, that. I'll be seen' yuh later at the '„Booker. cabin,. Bruce, > .efp yore ‘ves peeled for Pedro." Daze turned the black and rode off a1ng the gully again. They rode t 'arough the•canyons and were approll thing the thick undergrowth at b'tick of Hooker's cabin. Dave leaned! forward. "Wet're elonie, Lois,. darling." he witiepered. "And rt looks as if all our troubles was just about over." And as the words left his mouth, there carte the crack -crack -crack of six-guns from a clump of scrub to the left, *•* * Black Dawn leaped convulsively. A bullet whipped Dave's hat around on his head. Another pas- sed between the reins, searing his knuckles. Black Dawn's legs bent under him. The horse was going down. "Vire got the coyote!" yelled Curran exultantly out of the scrub. A second man ran forward, and Dave recognized the Mexican, Pe- dro. But Dave was already on his feet, and had. pulled Lois to the ground. His gun belched answer. Pedro howled as the bullets caught him in the chest and abdomen. Then he flattered out, his scream of death cut short, and dropped al- most beneath the staggering stale lion. • As he fell, Dave leaped to one sid, and emptied his gun into the thicket from which the flashes had come. Two wild shots from Cur- ran answered him, then came the audible click of the hammer upon an empty cartridge. Dave was on • his feet again and rushing forward. "With a vile curse, Curran wheeled his horse and raced through the scrub toward the Hooker cabin. Dave wai .ia more than twenty yards behind hint when Curran reached the open, and he had al- ready jammed fresh cartridges into his cylinder. He saw Curran work- ing frantically with his gun, while hi., horse, frightened by the sound of the discharges, • reared wildly. almost unseating hint. * * * Yelling obs .enel ., Curran spur- red his horse and dashed across the mesa, and a moment later Dave could hear him forcing his mount down the steep side. He sent a last shot after hint and FIRE RAINS ON GERMANY •I The remarkable photo above; taken from a U .S. plane raiding great German naval base at Xlrel, shows two 500 -pound incendiary cluster bombs falling toward the target, One (arrow) has already broken open, scattering small incendiaries like matchsticks, Other bomb, lower right, broke shortly after photo was snapped.

"No, no! `)id he hit you, Dave?" "Nary nick. But he bit Black Dawn!" Dave cried. He lead heard the bullet thud into the stallion's body. Dave ran his hand along the flank, and felt the blood dripping from the shoul- der. With his fingers he .traced the course of the wound. It ranged tip- ward. Suddenly he felt the bullet just beneath the skin. It had been deflected by the shoulder bone, and scented to have inflicted only a slight, glancing wound., Dave leaped into. the saddle and gripped the horse with his knees. Black Dawn responded with his usual gait, though he was quivering from head to foot. It was clear that neither bone nor sinew had .been seriously injured. •,Continued Next Week) Briton C ,r mends Canadian Farmer Ex -Minister of Agriculture Says Britain Could Learn Much From Our Farmers Lord De La Warr, former leader of the house of Lords and ex -min- ister of agriculture who has just returned to England from Canada, told the guild of agricultural jour- nalists that British farmers could learn a great deal from Canadian :farmers. The Canadian people as well as the British people, he said, do not realize how great a contribution the Canadian farmer has made in the war. "Canadian farms have lost more than 400,000 men but production has increased 45 per cent. It speaks eloquently for the immensity of the war effort of the individual farmer, his wife and his family," Discussing farming on the praries he said: "Farmers are tackling dif- ficult problems of deterioration of the land with vision and courage, through changing methods of ag- riculture, irrigation and the intro- duction of mixed farming." He had high praise for Canadian stock breeders. "The, are working on principles of breeding we haven't UNIFORMLY CHIC begun here, 1. was amazed at the. high standard of their stock." In England, he said, breeds of stock are allowed to mix indiscri- niinately. "We can't build a pros- perous British agriculture on scrub stock." In Canada stock breeders even on shall farms employ butter- fat tests, line breeding and calf- hood vaccination and artificial in- semination. "Unless we are going to allow our- selves to fall badly behind we shall have to awake up very considerably, We have to make a drastic attack on the problem of breeding better cattle and tackling disease." Control Of Cancer Shown In Films Following the trend toward visual education the Ontario Branch of the Canadian Society for the Control of Cancer is pur- chasing moving picture films deal- • ing with the control and early treatment of cancer which. will be' available upon application . to the Society, at 21 Bloor Street, East, Toronto, to organizations, clubs, churches, or any other interested group throughout the Province of Ontario. The latest available statistics on cancer deaths in Canada quote over 13,600 deaths a year from this disease throughout the Domin- ion. This number is topped only by heart diseases in the death dealing afflictions of the human race. .Approximately 5,000 of the 13,000 deaths from cancer occur in Ontario. The Canadian Society for the Control of Cancer hopes to reduce this high death rate th •ough the use of the new films, lectures, talks and continue) educa- tional material sent out; to the public emphasizing that early can- cer can be cured.
