In the extra-limited seasonal driv-
ing that’s now the rule, your engine
"hoards” a surplus of acids. Every
explosion adds to these acids. You
don’t drive enough for engine heat to
eject them safely. But they won't
go biting right through Al-plating !
This highly corrosion-resistant sur-
facing is attached all over your en-
• g ine’s fine inner finish as if by mag-
netism—an effect you must credit to
costly pioneer research, responsible
for the special ingredient in popular-
priced Conoco 1W oil, patented.
You can’t apply keener intelligence
to the car that must last you, thap
to equip it with an oil-plated engine
—simply by changing to Conoco Nffi
oil for Winter. Your Mileage Mer-
chant’s Conoco station knows your
correct grade. Go now. Continental

Handling the wheel and pedala like ar
professional became a wartime neces-
city. It favored the car—and quit
scaring the rear-seat riders. Now it’s
a great point of pride. Yet an even
more envied proof of fine car-sense is t
to own an engine that isn’t showing
its age. That demands sparing your
engine from acids; from fiercely cor-
rosive acids inside. You can do it by
having your engine oil-plated. All
you need is a change to Conoco N*b
motor oil...oil that oil-plates.

G. G. Edwards, co-operates “with

This ia dote by selecting a num-

where checkers are stationed to
record licenses of all cars. By
later comparing the numbers from
one station to the next, the plan-

where cars turned to other parts
of the area or continued on a
through route. As many as 300
checkers are used in some cities.

that.”
So she thought about her new
work. And then suddenly, she re-
membered Bob Beston.
“Why—I just remembered!
went to North Africa to fly
ambulance plane!”
She smiled at the recollection
of his tall ruggedness, his drawl-
ing talk. And she remembered
how she had wanted to kiss him
when he had said goodbye to her.
"Funny,” she m u s e d. "Why
sho^uu I think of that?”
It was a ridiculous thing to
think of, »he tcld herself. It was
only natural to recall that some-
one you had met had also gone to
North Africa, to wonder if
might run into him. But
other—why, she had just
telling herself how much in Jove
’ 7 7:) was, how com-
pletely she was his for good and
all!
So thinking of Colonel Bob
Beston annoyed her, because she
thought she should not think of
him except casually. For some
reason, she knew her thoughts
about him were not just casual.
As the ship passed Gibraltar, she
began to feel greater excitement
in anticipating new scenes, a new
job.
"Wonderful that we can steam
right into the Mediterranean with-
out a fear in the world,” Laura
commented to another nurse who
. stood at the rail beside her.
"Sure; we couldn’t have done
that a year agd,” the other agreed.
"The Mediterranean is just a
United Nations lake now.”

which the nurses lived®;
Everywhere there was great ac-
tivity. Laura saw three big trans-
port’ planes circle and land at a
nearby airfield. Soon ambulances'
would bq coming from the field to
the hospital with wounded men
----------
The new nurses were told to
report to the main office in the
hospital ag soon as they were set- , .
tlcy in their rooms. Laura foundj-.fr<’n\ city_englneers and planning
that the rooms were small and
- neat, with two nurses in most of
them, three or more in the lafger
rooms.. "
At the office, .she was told to
sit in tjie waiting room, whiclr was
like an ell. She glimpsed some
men in juniform around one cor-
ner, as she sat down with two oth-
er new nurse's. She chatted with
the others about how soon they’d
begin flyipg. One of them had
learned that a new formation of
e planes had ju*L.axrived
United States. The pilots,
were already there, and the new
nurses would be assigned to the
’ new planes.
Suddenly, Laura sat forward in
her chair. She hearc^ a Voice
from the group of soldiers around
the corner. That voice sounded
"n' nnuttKE------*-------------------
“I 'could be wrong, of course,"
she thought. "Soisthern accents
all sound alike to me. And know-1 10.000 do not present
ing that Bob Beston is here
North Africa, I’m likely to jump
to conclusions. StilL—"
Another man was talking now.
She waited for the Southerner
to speak again. Then he did.
"I came over just to try to get
a look at my new nurse,” he said.
“Hope I get a nice one. Now if it
could only be that little gal I took
to dinner in Washington—”
Oheig- was no doubt any more.
It was Bob Beston!
Laura jumped up and dashed
around the corner of the room.
Y<*s, there he was a good three
inches taller than the three other
fliers with whom he was talking.
His back was to her, but
other men saw her at once.
’.’Wait a minute. Bob." one
them said. "There’s one that might
do."
Bob turned around?
"Laura!” he cried.
In two long steps he was beside
her, and before she knew it, he
had clasped her in his arms and
kissed her resoundingly.
