It was a shallow one, two feet deep, built to hold one man, but we both jumped for it, and not until later did we realize there was a man already in it. We could think of nothing then except this earthquake roar and grinding and the whistling of a mighty storm moving down the field.

He wears a yellow scarf, but for the rest, in goggles and helmet, he might have been any of us. I don't think he notices us he is too intent on the Fortress. It is only that we are right in his line of fire, and each time as he starts to pull up, his guns spray our trench lip before he has time to take his thumb off the button. "But suppose he does see us? Some of the men had been loading bombs when the attack came and have their shirts off their white backs are wonderful targets. So now we start to organize ourselves in our rat trap, pounding away with orders. If he does spot us, all he's got to do is come right down that ditch with his guns open. "What antiaircraft we have is thumping away now, but it isn't doing much good. In the first place it is so placed that the black smoke billowing up from the burning Fortresses gets between the Zeros and the ground gunners, blanketing their field of fire. In the second place, it was never designed to operate at as close a range as three hundred yards. "So in our ditch we start a little war of our own forty of us versus the Imperial Japanese Air Force; or rather those of the forty who have .45's, which is the pilots and the bombardiers. Every time that Jap strafer comes over, we bang away at him I can't say we do any damage, and all we had to show for it afterward was a damn dirty pistol to clean, but it gives us some satisfaction. "Meanwhile from all over the field you can hear two sound sequences first the high rattle of the Jap wing guns as the tracers feel for the target, then the slower pounding of the cannon as they drive the main punch home that I've described before. The other sequence was more heartbreaking. You'd hear a rising, hissing which means a tracer has gone sizzling into the gas tank of one of our dear old Fortresses followed quickly by a great roar (everything letting loose at once), which means that the burning gasoline has exploded her bombs.

"Now we climbed out of the ditch and started back toward Operations to report. But first we had to walk around the wreckage of the poor old Fortress. We walked wide not only because of the shimmering heat, but because it was a shameful thing we could hardly bear to watch, which no one will understand who doesn't love those big, beautiful as we did. There she was in her death agony the plates had weltered quickly, leaving only her naked skeleton shimmering in the heat, and licked by oily flame. It made you sick and you wanted to look the other way. "The rest of the field was littered with charred skeletons of planes. You'll remember the 19th Bombardment Group had comprised thirty-fiv- e proud Flying Fortresses. A dozen of them had been down at Del Monte Field in the southern island of Mindanao and so escaped this attack. Colin Kelly, who had come up from Australia, was flying one of them. But of all the rest which had been here on Clark Field, only five could be called airplanes any more. Even these five were badly damaged, and none of them could fly. But by pooling the five wrecks, replacing a wing here, a tail there, and taking two undamaged engines from a third, the Colonel hoped we could salvage in all, of the two dozen which stood on the field that morning, three planes which might get into the air when the runway was cleared. "As for the boys who hadn't come back from the hills yet, the Colonel wasn't in the least worried. 'It's like any good hunting dog,' he explained 'The first time you put steel across him, of course he's scared. But afti er that well, those fellows that ran away today will make as good sol-- i diers as they come.'

Brownie, who always has had a comfortable amount of money, said he'd call a taxi. But I knew nothing would come of that. The servants and almost everybody else were back in the hills, some of them still running, and anything you wanted done that day you had to do for yourself. So we collected a bedding roll apiece at the barracks and started off down the road. We'd walked for quite a while when at a crossroads we came on a convoy of trucks it was an antiaircraft outfit being moved back into position, I suppose where they could better protect the charred carcasses of our bombers. "So we hooked a ride on one of these trucks, which was headed for a little native village around the ether side of our field and a reasonably safe distance away. We got, out when they stopped and, going to the nearest house, by signs asked the owner if he had a room for the night. He was a very nice fellow and took us upstairs to his own.

The big push will come in 1944 for farm women as well as the boys in uniform. The farm woman's 1944 job will be new in many ways, too. To reach food production objectives, the War Food administration points out, farm families must continually change their farming operations in line with CTIO MOID t "&ifSl ROCS RtlufNV ofVlumeis. shifting developments on the home front and on the battle fronts. Take the higher goals for egg production, for instance. That's a special concern of farm women, since about 90 per cent of the eggs come from farm flocks and since the womenfolk usually tend the poultry. The old way of increasing egg production would be merely to build additional hen houses, increase the size of the flocks of laying hens and lay in an extra supply of feed. But the 1944 way to increase egg production care and is to give the hens tip-to- p to build up the quality of the flocks by culling out the poor layers and buying better chicks. Such a program is calculated to result in more eggs from fewer hens, at the same time helping to economize on feed The front of the cornice was called the face. The ends were called returns. Cornices are still used in simplified forms for our own windows and these terms are also used. This sketch shows three different treat, ments of box cornices for modern windows. They all give a professional effect, yet any amateur may make them. The diagram shows grooves cut on the inside of the returns to hold wooden rods or llat to be used Instead of metal rods for langing glass curtains and overdraperies. f you already have double curtain rods! lust leave them in place and fit your cornice over them.

Good milk cows well cared for are one of the most efficient converters of feed into high quality protein foodstuffs. That is why Uncle Sam is urging farmers to increase their dairy herds by 2 per cent and to step up total milk production by a like amount. Women will help more with this job, too keeping records, feeding the livestock, milking and caring for the milk. Gardening is one of the chores that usually falls to the farm This year, as last, the aim will be a garden on every one of the nation's farms. Furthermore, families usually planting small gardens are asked to increase their vegetable plots so as to supply most of the family needs for fresh and d vegetables.

Stick With Your Plow, Advises Soil Expert Farmers should think twice before they place too much reliance in widely published reports that the d plow is bad for the soil and should be discarded, M. A. soil conservation specialist at the U. of Minnesota, pointed out. He says that tests of the plow vs. subsurface tillage have been conducted in Minnesota and so far the score gives the plow an advantage of eight bushels of corn to the acre. Thorfinnson reports that in field tests conducted on farms in erosion areas of the state, the d plow had a distinct advantage over other tillage methods. In heavier soils where drifting is not a major problem, this advantage would be even greater. For the lighter soils the disc plow proved to be effective and gave the added protection of leaving part of the stubble above ground to hinder soil drifting. The "sweep" which stirs up the subsurface without turning under the stubble appeared to be definitely inferior to the plow in the tests.
