HONOLULU, May 12 —OP)—
The mightiest military (orce «ver
assembled in Hawaii, itself the
strongest fortress under the Uni
States flag and perhaps in
world, today opened the army'
1941 spring maneuvers.
Approximately 40,000 soldiers,
the majority seasoned troops, will
be deployed to demonstrate and
test the defenses of this Pacific
Bastion.
"It has been assumed," said a
statement from the army com-
mand, "that the United States is
facing attacks by enemy powers
in both the Atluntic and Pacific
oceans and that hostile naval craft
Conditioning A Nation
Conditioning o whole people is o mighty task—
a task that needs* the impetus of a great emergency.
We are now in the midst of such an emergency. Pre-
paredness is the watchword of the day. Never before
in the history of this country has health been so
important
Dr Thomas, Parran, Surgeon General of the
United States Public Health service, has repeatedly ¡are known to be operating in the
said, "National health is a vital part of the national Hawaiian urea
defense."
We no longer have to put up with some diseases
undermining our strength We have the knowledge
and the means to combat such fifth columnists.
Among the graver perils to national health is tuber-
culosis, which is preventable and curable.
We must throw our weight into the campaign
agar t this menace We must find out what we can
do to -tamp out this ally of war." We must uphold
the professional groups engaged in combating this
disease and thereby do our part in promoting the
health of the nation—in short, the security of the
nation.
The nationwide Early Diagnosis Campaign of
the Notional Tuberculosis Association and its state
and local associations, in which the Hutchinson Co
Tuberculosis Ass'n. is participating, is a ready oppor-
tunity for us to join the assauit against one of our
greatest assassins- the White Plague. The campaign,
which will last throughout this month, is another at
tempt to drive home the syre, economcial ways of
stopping the murderous attacks of tuberculosis. These
ways are early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
The campaign, always deserving the close at-
tention and cooperation of the public, this yepr stands
out in greater importance because of its place in the
task of making this nation ready for whatever may

Land Of Liberty' Shows America
From First Ac Freedom Loving
50 Slrikeless Years
Only the unusual is interesting. The sensational
divorce case gets the eye while thousands of married
couples make successful but inconspicuous marriages.
The law-breaker struts his little hour in print, wnile
the law-abiding plod along to an inscribed gold watch
ond oblivion. So with labor relations it's the turbulent
strike and the clash on the picket line that get the
headlines. >
But when an industry goes strikeless for 50 years,
that's also news, or it ought to be. On May 29 at
Cincinnati, two unions and an employers' association
are celebrating that happy relationship. They are the
Molders and Foundry Workers' Union and the Manu-
facturers' Protective and Development Association,
who together make the nation's stoves.
In 1891 the union and the associated employers
began meeting to negotiate industry-wide agree-
ments. Since that time there has never been a strike
Or a lockout in the industry.
Some magic formula? No. Union and employer
leaders agree that there's no trick to it but mutual
fairness and mutual trust and confidence, gradually
built up over the years.
But wait a minute. Maybe that's the unusual
element, after all, that makes news!
This information was released
by Lieut. Gen. Walter C. Short,
Hawaiian department commander,
shortly after midnight, and trojjp
activity followed almost imme-
diately.
From Schofield barracks, Fort
ShafUii and Fort Armstrong, the

large bombable concentrations of

The maneuvers will incorporóte
the latest twists of strategy gath-
ered from the war fronts of Eu

of parachute troops.
To meet the threat of enemy
bombers and the fire of enemy
warships, the territory's large con-
centration of anti-aircraft weapons
and the 16-inch guns of its forts
were poised for action. Twelve apd
14-inch railway tilles were avail-
able for quick transit to wherever
they might be needed.

CHAPTER XIX
JN the village of Blair, Aris.,
Carolyn and her rescuer found
one light burning. It was in a
large house that seemed to be a
combined residence and store. An
efficient-looking woman in night
robe answered immediately when
Carolyn ran to the door and
knocked.
"Hello! I—Have you a tele-
phone? May I please call tor
help? If I can just telephone
Boulder Dam, I might—"
"Come in, honey!" The woman
Interrupted Carolyn's frantic talk,
appraised her quickly. "Look
here, honey, is your name Tyler,
and did you drop outen a air-
plane?"
"Yes! Oh!"
"Well, I'm that glad it's you!
They've been already phoning
about you. They's men out al-
ready on u search. Now ain't this
Just dandyl
"Come in, child. You look be-
draggled. Ain't you cold? They've
already phoned about you from
Boulder. I expect it's been on the
radio, too.
"Law, I expect they're a-tearing
«round every whichaway, for one
as young and sweet as you! Now
you just phone 'em back right now
as quick as you can, and I'll get
you something warm and dry!"
The good woman, not one to be
overly excited, was plainly ex-
cited. Carolyn grabbed her.
"What about Bob? Dr, Hale?
Tell me! He must be safe or no-
body would know where I—is he?
Who called?"
"Honey, set down a minute!
He's safe. Hir.i and the man fly-
ing him both is safe. It was a
Mr. Hale that called me. He
said—"
That was all Carolyn needed.
She called Boulder Dam—spe-
cifically, Boulder City, Nev., the
town near the great dam. The
operator there couldn't get Bob
tor her et the moment but did
get the local airport, and the field
official told her that Bob and the
plane had tome in safely.
Bob was about cruzy, the offi-
cial admitted, worrying about her,
and he would'get word to Bob
at once and call off the search.
He talked some more, but Caro-
lyn didn't hear it. If the kindly
woman here hadn't come quickly,
Carolyn would huve slipped right
down to the floor.
It was the .first time in her life
Carolyn Tyler had ever fainted,
but even a young and healthy girl
can stand only so much.
* * •
TT took Bob Hale a week to quit
begging Carolyn's forgiveness.
Almost pitifully he apologized,
over and over, berating himself
and humbling himself before her.
He had hunest'y felt that her life
depended on that parachute jump.
She understood that.
But when he had gone to tell
the pilot, preparing to jump out
himself, the pilot had taken com-
mand. The storm danger was in-
deed real but the pilot had stead-
fastly refused to abandon ship.
His refusal had, in turn, made
Bob decide to stay. Bob bud tried
to weigh the dangers both ways
and lu the end the presence of
the X-09D had decided him.
The pilot, Bob knew, could not
be made to realize the extreme
potency of that substan<* in the
box. A forced chance landing,
bumpy and rough, might set ot!
the greatest explosion in the his-
tory of man. But even so, Bob
elected to stick with the pilot
and their freight. He felt directly
responsible for the X-999. Bailing
out now would be cowardly run-
ning away, and at leust Carolyn
had a lighting chance.
When Tt all ended happily he
was like a boy released from some
hideous dream and it took him
days to calm down again. For
her part, Carolyn was back to
normalcy after a long sleep, a
bath, fresh clothing and a hearty
meal.
"Nothing boring about being
your secretary, at any rate," she
told Bob, laconically. He was still
serious.
"I have raised your pay, Caro-
lyn! As I told you, the Schoen-
feld Laboratory is abundantly en-
dowed, and, of couise, with the
X-999 we have absolutely un-
limited means at our command,
so—"
"So I'm still just a steno being
overpaid already, and that's that!"
she declared flatly. "Please get
right down to your work, Bob.
The serious work, I mean."
• • •
'TWERE was much to be done.
1 That first day, while she slept,
he had bought a station wagon,
and would have carried the boxed
X-999 to his mountain retreat
alone, but she insisted on joining
him.
Together they drove the price-
less stuff through the canyons to
Blair, thence branched onto the
rougher trail that led to the aban-
doned Copper King mine in Tonto
Mountain. There they were met
by, Bob's workmen, who already
had er '.ed temporary tents and
shacks, reconditioned the narrow
gauge ore track into the mine
shaft, and brought in provisions.
When the X-099 had at last
been deposited nearly three-quar-
ters ot a mile inside the mountain
itself, Bob showed visible relief.
"Now, for the first time, I can
breathe easily," said he. "Now
it is safe, and no one's lite need
be in constant danger. Thank
heaven for that!"
She liked th«rt streak in him.
That revercnce, that feoling of
humility and selflessness, despite
the fact of his brilliance as a
scientist and his fame. It was
another reason tor loving him.
Loving him? She contemplated
that again. Of course she loved
him, more profoundly than ever.
And with the rush ot physical
excitement subsiding, she would
give full thought to that problem
of making him love her.

insidious danger. She "knew"
largely through intuition, but
was definite even so.
Leana's eyes had revealed it.
Leana's way of looking at Bob.
The little things Leana had let
slip back home. The peculiar cir-
cumstance of that first explosion,
the hint contained in the telegram
to Leana, and the fact that a train
was robbed! They all added up
too much to be mere coincidence.

LEANA AWAITS CHANCE
CHAPTER XX
TOURING the six weeks that fol-
lowed Carolyn's sensational
arrival in Arizona, life settled into
an oddly contrasting and beautiful
routine. It was as if the frenzied
troubles had all passed away With
that midnight rainstorm, leaving
the skies both figuratively ana
literally blue.
Carolyn had telephoned her
mother, and Mrs. Tyler, happily
excited in her own right now, had
packed their trunks and personal
effects to follow west. It was a big
change In her life. It subtracted
years from her countenance.
They decided to take her mother
into partial confidence, explaining
that the "chemical substance" wins
hidden In the abandoned Copper
King Mine shaft only because It
was valuable and "dangerous to
persona who wouldn't handle it
properly." They did not tell her
she be

Carolyn saw Leana Sorml only
when chance or circumstance re-
quired it, as when In Bob's pres-
ence. The two women would tfpjak
with at least surface courtesy, but
never actually converse.

r luxuriously fitted three-
cabin and had her private
srasr- a trained Hop!
Bob Hole "kept batch" (It war.
a joke with him) with tour tech-
nical workers In the largest house
of all, aside from the new labora-
tory. An ex-army cook and a 16-
year-old Mexican boy took care of
their personal needs.
The Tylers were In a three-room
rock house across a narrow can-
yon in shouting distance from
Bob's front porch.
All of it was exceedingly pic-
turesque. Contour of the hills hern
made it so, contour and color and
verdure and the blue-blue Arizona
sky, a sky that ranged from dawn's
yellow to turquoise to aquamarine
and back to doy's day's-end gold
again.
Twelve cabins for workmen and
minor assistants were going up.
An electric power line from
Boulder Dam had, as Bob and
Curo'yn anticipated, been tapped
to supply the impromptu village.
Every house, includ.ig the seven
guest cottages under construction,
was fitted in time with every elec-
trical convenience, even to nlr-
conditlonlng. Telephone lines were
«xtended from Blair.
The whole new settlement, even
the new rock laboratory binldlng,
was half a mile from the granite
side of Tonto Peak and partly
screened from Tonto by a lesser
hill, which Carolyn named Tonto,
Jr. Where big" Tonto was «,000,
Junior was scarcely 800 feet, and
sho could climb It easily after
dinner to watch the majesty of a
sun going down.

WITHIN three weeks after they
all arrived, Dr. tl ?rrlvale ar.d
Dr. Canby came by invitation from
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology; Dr. O'Mara from the
University of Minnesota, Engineers
Harding and Treat, and Capitalist
Devereaux from great Industrial
corporations in Detroit. Still oth-
ers would be arriving. Bob and
Leana would gather here the best
technical brains In America, Caro-
lyn realized.
Moreover, the experimenters ac-
tually had assembled and devel-
oped one engine that functioned
with a mlnUte speck of the X-999
for power source, le:;s than two
months after the arrival of the
crew In Arizona. The scientists
were beside themselves with ela-
tion.
"It is unbelievable!" old Dr.
O'Mara cried.
"But It works!" shot bock prac-
tical Devereuux, an automobile
aqd airplane manufacturer. "I
don't need to tell you people that
this will revolutionize all the
world's engineering."
