Once, when she lit a cigarette, Zorie saw her hands shaking. Something, Zorie guessed, was in the wind, and only Paul was unaware of it. He was aware only of her. Whenever she glanced at him, he was looking at her with that puzzled expression in his eyes. He (did not drink at all. When she had her second cocktail, she glanced at him. The old familiar expression of stem disapproval was about his mouth. disWhy, Zorie wondered, did he realwas that of everything approve ly fun? She suddenly felt hopeless about Paul.

Eight of the admirals guests were attractive couples from various parts of the island. The ninthiron-gra-toy arrive was a big man with hair and a square ruddy face. His name, Basil Stromberg, meant nothing to Zorie at first. Then she recalled the fragment of conversation she had overheard between Steve and the admiral in the garden that morning, with Steve saying, I dont care a damn who comes as long as you get Basil Stromberg. Zorie sat down beside Paul and asked him who Stromberg was. Hes the manager of one of the biggest plantations on the island. I suppose hes just another Nazi, although I never suspected it before.

It was found that pigs that were fed four ounces of irradiated yeast in each ton of feed, and had access to cow manure, outdistanced all others. The yeast-fe- d pigs made average daily gains of 1.51 pounds per head and required only 375 pounds of feed to produce each 100 pounds of pork. The pigs used in the investigation were allowed to run outdoors, indicating that winter sunlight is not always sufficient to prevent vitamin D deficiency. Despite the high price of irradiated yeast, the feeding of only four ounces to a ton of feed, makes it very economical to use. indicate Recent investigations that rapid bringing to maturity of from 200 to 240 pounds will prove the most profitable weight under present conditions. Type of pigs arriving on the market would indicate that there is considerable room for breed improvement.
