STATE COLLEGE
ACCOMPLISHING
SPLENDID WORK
P, F, McCanna Returns From
Meeting Of Board Of Re-
gents and Gives Glowing
Account Of Trip,

=. i. McCanna, secretary and treas
urcr II the board of regents of the
New Mexico College Of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts. returned yester-
day from State College. where he at
tended a meeting Of the board Of re-
gents called 20 attend 10 various de-
tails connected with the financial
troubles ~ the Institution caused by
the recent failure Of the First state
bank Of Las Cruces
Mr.. McCanna stated that all ar
rangements for temporarily financing
che college pending the collection oi
the amount that was on deposit 10
its credit Ia the defunct bank ut the
time OF its failure were completed
at the meeting Wednesday. A note for
the necessary funds was executed in
due form, and the money needed To
keep the college going will be sup
piled BY the First National bank of

Mr. McCanna had overlooked the
! fact thai this ie Farmers Week al
the college. and when ne found hun
dreds OF people from all over New
Mcxico swarming to The institution
he didn't al first know what 20 make
Of IL. There had been run on n
bank IN that vicinity very recently.
aud he had visions Of something of
the sort when he looked at the crowd
However, IL WIS only run on the
eollege--a run BY farmers from every
section OF the state, together with
their wives, for the purpose of draw
ing out their part Of the valuable
store Of practical knowledge that the
college has especially for them.
~ cannot speak too highly of the
work that is being done at the coll
leRe this week" said Mr. McCanna
The people of the state have realized
the advantages 70 be gained by sc1en-
tific farming and they have accepted
the invitation Of the college authori-
ties to come and get all that is TO be
had from the experts who have
knowledge on the subject. No special
locality Is represented in the crowds
that are attending the Farmers Week
meetings--they come from all over
New Mexico"
Mr., McCanna was equally enthusi-
as:!c ever the extension work that Is
being done by the college. In a few
days Professor Cooley Will start out
on a tour OF the northern part of the
state with staff of assistants and will
visit the various agricultural centers
and lecture 10 the farmers on the
special needs of their section. A sim
liar trip will be made by another
branch Of the college faculty in the
eastern part Of the state Everything
that is possible will be done TO take
to the farmer the Scientific knowledge
that he most needs. Lectures will be
made In both English and Spanish.

THREE VARIETIES OF BREAD
Each Has Its Distinct Value, and the Point Is One For Individual
 Consideration.

It is well to know something of the differences of the three varieties of bread-white. wholemeal and brown to aid the matter of choice in indiVid ual cases. White bread is made of the inside of the wheat; it is practically all starch. with small amount of pro teid, much of that contained in the grain being removed in the outer shell. White bread is, therefore, less valu- able for building up the body and system. but at the same time is the most digestible of the three varieties
 Wholemeal bread, in contradistinc= tion, contains the whole grain, after the husk has been removed; it is therefore richer in proteid than the white variety, and where digestion need not be considered may be looked upon as the best kind for the ordinary diet of those In normal health
 Brown bread completes the list, and contains not only the whole grain. but also the husk of bran; this has no nutritive value, but is very good in providing a suffi ieiency of bulk, a point apt to be overlooked by those who consider food from the scientific stand point, and also of real importance where growing boys and girls are con cerned. The bran or husk present also sets up a healthful mechanical irritation of the bowels, and so is very useful in cases of chronic constipation. which are also helped by the bulkiness of the food

with a parting word of instruction from Wu, who remained in the car. The Chinaman carried with him the heavy bag with the oxygen helmet. Long Sin hurried down the road until he came to trolley pole, then he looked hastily at his watch. It was twenty minutes at least before the next car would pass.
 Quickly. almost monkeylike, he climbed up the pole. carrying with him the end of wire which he had taken from the bag
 Having thrown this over the feed wire, he slid quickly to the ground again, then, carrying the other end of the wire in his rubber gloved hand through the underbrush until he came to passageway ill the rough and un- cleared hillside-a small opening formed by the rocks.
 It was dark inside, but he did not hesitate to enter, carrying the wire and the bag with him.
 
 It was nightfall before we arrived with Elaine at Aunt Tabbys.
 Kennedy lost no time in examining the fireplace.
 At one point in the drawing a pc culiar protuberance was marked Ken nedy was evidently hunting for that. He found it at last and pressed the sort of lever A small section at the side of the fireplace opened up, dis closing an iron ladder. leading down into one of those characteristic hiding places in which the Clutcning Hand used to delight
 Lets go down and explore it. l suggested, taking a step toward the ladder.
 Kennedy reached out and pulled me back. Then without word he pressed the little lever and the door closed.
 ''I think we'd better wait while, Walter" he declared. "I would rather hear Aunt Tabby's haunts myself"
 We were sitting about the room when suddenly the most weird and un-

Kennedy said nothing for moment Then he seized his hat and coat.
 If you don't mind" he said, well go back there with you"
 
 Wu Fang, the Chinese master mind, had arrived in New York. Besides Wu, the inscrutable Long Sin, astute though he was, was a mere pigmy-his slave, his advance agent, as it were.
 New York did not know of the ar rival of Wu Fang, the mysterious, yet. But down in the secret recesses of Chinatown, in the ways that are devil ous and dark, the oriental crooks knew and trembled.
 Thus it happened that Long Sin was not permitted to enjoy even the fore taste of Bennett's spells which he had forced from him after his weird transformation into his real self, the Clutching Hand. when the Chinaman had given him the poisoned draft that had put him into his long sleep
 He had obtained the paper showing where the treasure amassed by the Clutching Hand was hidden, but Wu Fang, his master, had come.
 The night following his arrival, Wu Fang was reclining on a diyan. when his servant announced that Long Sin was at the door,
 Have you brought the map with you?' asked Wu.
 Long Sin bowed low again, and drew from under his coat the paper which he had obtained from Bennett. For a moment the two, master and slave in guile, bent over, closely studying it. At one point of the map Long Sins bony finger paused over a note which Bennett had made:
 Beware of poisoned gas upon open ing compartment"
 And you think you can trace it out?" asked Wu
 Without a doubt" bowed Long Sin. He went over to bag near by, which he had already sent up by an- other servant, and opened it. Inside was an oxygen helmet. He replaced it, after showing it to Wu.
 with the aid of the science of the white devil" purred Long Sin subtly. Outside, Wu had already ordered car to wait. and together the two drove off rapidly. Into the country they sped, until at last they came to lonely turn in a lonely road.
 Long Sin alighted and disappeared,

ing it on her, take this-keep il near youi"
 The noises ceased at length, as strangely as they had begun.
 Half an hour later they had all gone back to bed and were asleep. But Elaine's sleep now was fitful. con stant procession of faces fitting be fore her closed eyes.
 Suddenly she woke with a start and stared into the semi-darkness. Was that face real, or dream face? Was it the hideous helmeted face that had dragged her down into the sewer once? That man was dead. Who was this?
 She gazed at the bedroom window, holding the huge revolver tightly. There, vague in the night light, ap- peared a figure. Surely that was no dream face of the oxygen helmet. Be sides. it was not the same helmet
 She sat bold upright and fired point blank at the window, shivering the glass. A second later she had leaped from the bed, switched on the lights  and was running to the sill.
 Downstairs Aunt Tabby and Uncle Joshua had heard the shot. Joshua was now wide awake.
 "Wh-what was it?" he asked, puff ing at the exertion of running up- stairs.
 q saw-a face-at the window Iyi AF gasped Elaine Tt was like one saw once before"
 Uncle Joshua did not wait to hear any more. He ran out of the room and into the garden beneath Elaines window.
 He looked about for signs of an in- truder. There was not a sound.
 He happened to look down at the ground Before him was small box. He picked it up. Here's something, though he said
 Joshua went back to the house. reioined the woman.
 She took the curious little box and unfastened the cover. As she opened it she drew back There in the box was little ivory figure of man, all hunched up and shrunken, hid eous figure.
 
 It was the afternoon following the day of our strange discovery of the fireplace done in sympathetic ink on the apparently blank sheet of paper

FIFTEENTH EPISODE
THE sERPENTs SIGN.

Rescued by Kennedy at last from the terrible incubus of Bennett's per secution in his double life of lawyer and master criminal, Elaine had, for the first time in many weeks, feel ing of security.
 Now that the strain was off how ever, she felt that she needed rest and a chance to recover herself. and it had occurred to her that a few quiet days with Aunt" Tabitha, who had been her nurse when she was little girl, would do her world of good.
 She had sent for Aunt Tabby, yet the fascination of the experiences through which she had just gone still hung over her She could not resist thinking and reading about them as she sat one morning with the faithful Rusty in the conservatory of the Dodge house.
 I had told the story at length in the Star and the heading over it had caught her eye.
 It read:

in Bennett's effects, when the speak ing tube sounded and answered it.
 ''Why-it's Elaine" I exclaimed.
 Kennedys face showed the keenest pleasure at the unexpected visit. Tell her to come right up," he said quickly.
 I opened the door for her.
 ''Why-Elaine-Im awfully glad to see you" he greeted, but l thought you were rusticating."
 T was, but, Craig, it seems to me that wherever I go something hap pens," she returned You know, Aunt Tabby said there were haunts. thought it was an old woman's fear but last night I heard the strangest noises out there, and I thought I saw a face at the window-a face in hel- met. And when Joshua went out, this is what he found on the ground under my window"
 She handed Kennedy a box, a pe- culiar affair which she touched ginger ly, and only with signs of the greatest aversion.
 Kennedy opened it. There in the bottom of the box was a curious lit tie ivory deyil-god He looked at it curiously moment.
 Let me see" he ruminated, still regarding the sign. 'The house you bought for Aunt Tabby once belonged to Bennett, didn't it?"
 Elaine nodded her head. "Yes, but I don't see what that can have to do with it. she agreed, adding with shudder. Bennett is dead"
 Kennedy had taken piece of pa per from the desk where he had put it away carefully. Have you ever seen anything that looks like this?" he asked, handing her the paper.
 Elaine looked at the plan carefully, as Kennedy and l scanned her face. She glanced up. her expression show ing plainly the wonder she felt.
 Why. yes" she answered. That looks like Aunt Tabby's fireplace in the living room"

BASKETS FOR THE MIRANDA
Hanoino Blossoms or Clusters of Green May Be Employed to Beau
 tIfy Front of House.

Have YOU ever tried to have hanging baskets of greenery and flowers on tbe veranda or in the summer living room? They are charming and they are not very difficult to keep in order. If the flowers do die they can be re- plenished with new ones, so that you can always keep hanging bit of love liness in sight.
 First as to the choice of baskets. A porous sort is best, and perhaps the wire ones are best of all. Line the basket with moss.
 As for the soil, mixture of leaf mold and wood loam or rich garden loam is good. This soil must be en- riched with fertilizer dissolved from time to time in the water with which 1t is moistened The best way to water these baskets is to sink them in a tub of water and leave them there until they are wet through. If the vines and leaves hang in the water suspend them from a peg or bar above the tub.
 Hang the basket where it will not be constantly subjected to wind, which dries out the soil. and don't let 1t have much sunlight-just enough to keep the soil sweet.
 When the soil appears to have lost some of it's richness place some ma nure in the water in which the basket is immersed several hours before the watering time. Or use little bone meal-not too much-for a too-strong fertilizer might burn the roots and foliage You will have to experiment a little about the amount and kind of enriching to do.
 As for the plants to have, any kind of ivy ought to thrive in basket and it's lovely green makes it especially de- sirable Dusty miller and wandering jew are two reliable plants that will thrive under almost any conditions. and they make charming background for towering plants. Oxalis makes pretty Towering plant to put in the basket, and ivy geranium is another Any kind of geranium can be used, and fuchsias and strawberries are also sat isfactory for the boxes. Ferns of vari- ous sorts can be used.
 There is a new self-watering iron hanging basket, which needs watering only once a week and which does not drip, as it must be admitted the wire baskets do. Of course. this iron bas- ket could be placed in a Japanese wicker basket if the iron did not har- monize with it's surroundings.
