"After a ship Is loaded for a specified destination and has sailed, it might develop that the cargo Is needed at another port. The ship is diverted, therefore the mail must be transhipped.

Miscalculations It is often to the advantage of the sailor to have hia mail held for him at his home port, particularly if he is on convoy duty. Should his mail be forwarded, it most likely would reach the overseas port after the ship has left on its return trip.

But perhaps all of these angles would stand a little explanation.

So let us go on: First a certain degree of wholesome tiredness is conducive to sleep. The child who is inactive and indoors too much, and isn't healthfully tired, will not be apt to sleep well. By the same token, the child who is overtired is so tense that he does not sleep well either. So provide plenty of vigorous exercise and lots of fresh air if you want to make a good day for your child. And, if he is not overly weary, this happy day will be followed by a night of sweet sleep.

Next, regularity in sleeping as in all the routines of little children is an extremely important point. Their bodies become used to the regularity as their minds do, and really get into physical and mental grooves. So the rhythm of rest and activity should be spaced the same, or approximately the same, every day. The last point we are going to cover today has to do with your child's meals. Too much food or too little food especially the last mention her nocturnal visit to anyone.

"One week from tonight I will come back at midnight." She was at the door, ready to leave, "Just a moment, please, my dear Miss Miller. She paused, her eyes fastened on Chris again. "What's the big idea?" Chris exploded. "You come here uninvited, threaten me with a pistol, and now you say you're coming back one week from tonight. What's coming off?" "Shut up!" she interrupted violently.

Chris worked 3 late at the office at Monroe Aircraft the day that Greta Miller had said she'd return to his apartment and it was almost 7 o'clock by the time he arrived at Martha's apartment for dinner.

Now don't be a chump and go getting ideas about this little gal, Martha, he'd told himself everytime he'd gone out with her, but it didn't seem to do any good. He always asked for another date and she always accepted. Besides, it was comforting to be with someone, especially now that his mind was racing with worries over this Miller dame.
