heeled dangerously, spinning upon its
left planes as upon an axis.
Instinct alone-and a bit of luck to
boot-helped Patria right the ma
chine.
But when she had accomplished
that, she rode alone; the observers
seat was empty.
Resolutely forcing herself not to
think of that poor hulk of a body
dropping like a plummet to a death
which would render it unacceptable,
shapeless, featureless pulp, the girl
swung the biplane round and headed
for home. Two hours later she de-
scended in her aviation field and was
helped down by Donald Parr. From
this one she learned, succinctly, what
had happened.
PiIlsbury's force, after a night and
half day of fruitless scouting, had
fallen afoul of two motOr-cars filled
with Japanese and Mexican officers,
northbound from the secret encamp-
ment for a reconnaissance along the
border. Chief among these officers
we're Baron Huroki and General NOgi.
The car containing Nogi had broken
through the resistance offered by the
cow-punchers and fled northward,
holly hunted as Patria had seen. The
two cow-punchers who had taken the
short cut had arrived at the bridge
lust in time to explode a mine be-
Meath the car as it careered downhill
| toward the bridge. Somehow Nogi
| had escaped destruction in that bust
ness; but he was alone in this respect.
So it was Nogi who had been car
ried back to his command by Patria.
In the meantime Hurok had been
captured and questioned by the cow
punchers; had protested utter ignor-
ance of the whereabouts of Bess Nor
gan had changed his mind about that,
confeSsing that she was a prisoner at
| Headquarters, when Pillsbury caused
/ him to face a firing squad. Where
upon PiIsbury had liberated one of
| Huroki's companions, instructed by
| the japanese to bring back Pess alone
and unharmed. Otherwise Japan was
to lose one OF it's most loyal and eff
cient servants. Pillsbury had prom
| ised Huroki that.
Upon the return of the officer with
Bess. Huroki had been released, in
accordance with the terms Pillsbury
had made, and ha d started back for
the encampment in the hills, while the
cow-punchers had ridden joyfully
homeward with the rescued girl.
The arrival of this party at the
hacienda had anticipated Tatria's re-
turn by less than half an hour. And
with the restoration of his sister, Bud
Morgan's mind had been made whole
again.

Mo Other Place Would Do.

A dentist, who had been made nerv-
Gus by frequent burglaries in his
vicinity, was somewhat startled recent
ly by having a man come regularly at
the same hour every evening and sit
on his doorstep. He finally suggested
that, if it would be all the same to
him, he would be pleased to have him
divide his attention and sit on some
neighbours doorstep for a while.
"But it wouldn't be the same"
shouted the visitor" nor anything like

PLAN 175-FOOT TOWER
FOR WIRELESS STATION

A new wireless tower. rising 175 feet
above the ground, is to be built for the
University of Wisconsin radio station
next summer on the crest of the hill
beside University hall. The tower will
be of steel on a concrete base, and from
it's top six antennae wires, $50 feet long,
are to be carried down to the roof of
the new Physics building, 100 feet from
the ground
In the present system the antennae
wires are 1875 feet long, strung from a
120-foot chimney behind Science hall
at the foot OF the hill. The new wires
will be stretched across the highest
point on the campus. The work of set
ting up the tower is to be done during
the coming summer. Later, with the
assistance of students, the aerial wires
will be strung so that they can be used
early in the fall.

TAKE THOUGHT OF DRAFTS
From 3he Extension Division Of the
University of Wisconsin.

From lhe Extension Division Of the
University Of Wisconsin.
Were it not for the radiator on an
automobile the engine would become so
hot from the explosions that it would refuse
to run and would soon be destroyed.
Every boy, and most adults, know how
water is circulated around the hot ex-
plosion cylinders and then into the radiator
which is constructed in a form and of
material which permits of rapid discharge
of heat 1t has generally been found
necessary to help out the cooling process
by the added use of a forced draft fan.
1t is not so generally understood that the
body presents a similar engineering pro-
blem and is provided with similar cooling
system. And it is important to understand
something of it because this explains why
person, like the owner of an automobile,
should take necessary care of the
mechanism before it becomes ruined or too
rapidly worn through misuse.
Our old ideas of ventilation were proved
to be wrong to a great extent because we
were thinking mainly of what the air might
contain and not giving enough attention
to what it might be doing. Today,
scientists are less concerned with the
composition of air tran they are with the
movement of it. The discharge of heat
from the blood, Through the skin of the
body, is now known to be quite as i'm
portant as the discharge of the impurities
which are given off in the lungs by the
blood.
This has had part in changing our
ideas concerning drafts. Currents Of air
do much more than bring in supply of new
air to replace the worn out air. They are
cooling the radiators of the human machine.
The radiator in this instance is the skin,
to which thousands of vessels are conduct
ing the blood. In the skin, the currents
are thinned out so as to expose the greatest
possible amount of blood to the cooling
process. This is so like the automobile
radiator as to be very striking.
A human being, like an automobile, may
be ruined by too much exposure. Gentle
air currents, however, won't do it. They
preserve and prolong life.
