ACCOMPLISHMENT UNAPPRECIATED | A prominent business man of Key West king to The Citizen the other day, ex- | d surprise that so many Americans {ail to appreciate the tremendous accom- plishment of this nation in connection wit | the present wars. During the first twelve months of the struggle, we have transported more than ! one million men overseas and, what is more | important, they have been fully equipped and supplied by the output of American in- ; dustry and labor. In connection with this accomplish- mest, it should be remembered that in the first World War, American soldiers fight- ing in France were supplied with weapons \ by the British and French. Today, eighty- five per cent. of American production of guns, planes, tanks and ships have been de- voted to equipping and preparing our own fighting men, In view of the magnitude of this achievement, it seems a bit strange to hear | of Americans who are unappreciative of the” importance of the task at home. While ihe British have accomplished wonders in speeding up the production of war material, it is obvious that when the final history of the war is written, the contribution of this country, nized as the decisive factors of both wars in which we are engaged. POWERFUL STIMULANT HARMLESS A four year study of concentrate fstim- ulants, such as those said to be used by’Nazi panzer troopers, reveals that the powerful | pep pills are harmelss to human beings. Dr. Maurice Tainter, professor of phar- macology, at Stanford University, says that the methyl-benzedrine composition pro- duces great stimulation, enabling the taker to think more clearly and react more quick- ly. Three milligrams will keep a man wide awake for at least 18 hours and when the effect wears off the person falls into normal sleep. If this is true, we are inelined, in view of our recent thinking and activity, to ask someone to pass the methyl-benzedrine. ears are worse than others.

It took an intense effort of wil? to make herself touch that white china knob, an even greater will to turn it But she did, quickly, et , SO that the light be- hind her spilled feebly over the floor of the closet and the ghastly picture struck her all at once— the aoele of the body, the tilted head, the pallid face, stained all along one side with blood.

Her first sane reaction after the shock of finding that thing of hor- ror on the closet floor was one of overpowering relief. Then, on the heels of that relief had come an- other thought no less terrifying than the first. Just because a man had been murdered did not mean \that Delia had not suffered the same fate. If she had actually seen the killer— A sudden noise brought her mind back to the moment and she stiffened again, every sense alert. It was a queer sound, muffied and indistinct, coming from off to one side. From the hall, she thought, or the anteroom. “Delia,” she said again and started towards the open door- way. . There was no answer, but she did not stop, and when she gained the adjoining room she paused, looking for a light or a switch. The sound came again, a low moaning, and with it the soft paping of something across the loor. Over behind the door a shadow moved and stood out darker than its surroundings. Joyce trembled with quick new hope and started forward, seeing the shadow move again and knowing now that this was Delia, that she was alive.
