TAKE TO THE NEAREST WOODS
Mother Nature Has Health and Hap.
piness In Store for You.

Whenever opportunity offers take to
the woods, is the injunction of the
San Francisco Chronicle. These are
not so far away that you cannot reach
them in an hour or two. There you
will find vigor and rest to be found
nowhere else. Even though you come
home tired you will sleep all the bet,
ter and awaken feeling renewed in
body, mind and soul.
The grumbler will spend more time
and more money sitting around a ia
BILE loaded with beer swapping tales

to where there is pure air, bright
scenes and health.
Take your children to the woods
and fields and introduce them to Moth
er Nature, who won't scold and find
fault with them if they romp and run
wild until tired and hungry.
With these lessons in life they will
grow into healthier and happier men
and women, which will mean greater
comfort and prosperity throughout
their days.
There is a lot of comfort and hap
piness in store for you, but you must

And, a girlish volcano of irrepressi-
BILE emotion, Eugene Ray, bursting in
to tears, dashed from the spot.
Two days later Walter returned to
college. He did not forget his bright,
volatile friend, but he never let her
know that when they met year later.
He was the young gentleman quite and
she in long dresses. They were
courteous, even friendly, but many a
time that stirring garden episode re-
Cured to the mind of Walter, and
from behind lowered lashes Eugene
studied this handsome, self-possessed
young man and wondered why she felt
that there was a vague barrier be-
tween them.
Then there was another year during
which they did not meet. Judge Ray
wondered why his daughter exhibited
no marked preference for any especial
one of her numerous suitors. Walter
kept away from the feminine element.
He told himself that his professional
career was responsible for this, which
was partly true. Walter had worked
hard and had started in at the law in
a good way and was winning golden
opinions professionally. There was
always, however, lingering memory
of sunny boyhood's days, and amid the
retrospection he could not Danish a
thought of the bright flashing girl who
had been it's regnant element.
The Rays resided in county seat
in the far Southwest. Judge Ray con-
trolled that judicial circuit and Walter
had settled down to practice at Wads-
worth, a typical border town. The
country about there lad been settled
by sQuatters and land grabbers and
titles were in disorder. Walter found
a large clientele engaged in battle
for their rights. Most of them had a
valid title to the land they claimed In
securing evidence of their ownership,
Walter had to visit some of the widest
parts of the district. Here desperate
and dangerous clique held control, re-
senting the intrusion of strangers, but
the clients of Walter protected him by
furnishing him with a secret sign
which would pass him anywhere in
safety.
BY a strange freak of destiny Judge
Ray was apportioned to take the place
of q judge who was to decide some
cases at Wadsworth. Through some
inexplicable within Eugene asked to
accompany her father on his trip to
that place. Little did the Judge sus
meet that it was because of Walter that
Eugenfe was so intent on becoming his
companion on this especial journey.
So it was at Wadsworth that Eu
genie and Walter again met. Walter
was glad and Eugene was happy. al

Of which is $4,000.
To meet the special and public de-
mand for information as to how this
great national aerial derby is to be
conducted, the Aero Club of America
sets forth the project with it's patriotic
and progressive objects and tentative
y-for the officials are still holding
themselves open to suggestions from
aviators and firms entering their
brands of machines-have formulated
the rules and conditions of the con-
test.
Many Important Prizes.
'"The Aero Club Of America" the
statement reads, "has offered a first
prize of $4,000 to be awarded the avi-
ator winning the contest under the
conditions to be herewith described.
There will be about fifteen controls
(landing stations) on the route, and
each city which is made control will
give prizes, making a total of from
100000 to $150,000, from which fund
eight principal prizes and other spe-
cial prizes will be awarded-the first
eight as follows: First prize, $4,000 j.;
second, $4,000; third, $4,000; fourth,
$500; fifth, $4,000; sixth, $3.50; sew
enth, $4,000; eighth 81, 500"
Special prizes will be given for the
best time between controls and for
the best demonstration with radio,
sending messages to land stations, for
the making of maps for the war de-
partment and Of Photographic films for
aeronautical maps of the first great
aerial highway.
The winner Of the Pulitzer trophy
will, of course. be the first aviator
who lands at the final control on the
Pacific coast But when it comes to
the awarding the cash prizes certain
penalizations of time are to be con-
sidered for changes in the motor and
aeroplane parts of the machine dur
ing their transcontinental journey. A
set of these penalizations regarding
motor changes, repairs and alterations
has already been tentatively drawn up,
forming, as nearly as possible, con-
sensus of the suggestions of entrants
and aeroplane makers.
Many Landings.
Whatever the route chosen. the dis
lance between controls east of, say,
Kansas City, will not be more than
$50 miles, and in desert and mountain
Gus countries in the West the distance
between controls will be limited to be-
tween It's and 275 miles.
