“Hazel came here for the same reason, didn’t she?”
“Yes, she did. But so far—that is until you told me all this tonight I’ve run into nothing but snags.”
“Just what did you mean when you said there was a shortage?”
“All medical supplies must pass through my hands. I have to O.K. all orders. I have been most careful in making those orders—yet at the end of each month the sum total of materials used far exceeds the normal use of a hospital our size.”
“You mean medicines, bandages and things like that, Dad?”
“All expendable supplies used in the hospital—medical supplies, of course.”
“Those are the kind of things they’d be badly in need of on a German sub?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Do you suppose those sneaks are getting some of the stuff out of the hospital along with the food?”
“In fact, Kitty, the whole set-up may be for the purpose of getting our medical supplies instead of food. Almost anyone can get hold of food to let the enemy have, but the drug business is quite a different thing.”
