MAKE HARD

A minimum width of 18 feet for
h~ard-surface roads is recommended
by the Bureau of Public Roads of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. The maximum width Of
truck body generally permitted is 8
feet, and 5k feet is the ordinary
clearance width of automobiles. At
an average speed of 80 miles an hour
it is reasonable to expect the driver
Of an automobile to drive with the
wheels closer than liz feet to the
edge Of the pavement, says the bur
reau. For trucks at an average
speed of Is miles an hour, this dis
lance should not be less than Ia feet
on account of the great width Of the
rear wheels. Three feet seems to be
a minimum safe clearance between
bodies. Inasmuch as a certain
amount of truck traffic is to be ex-
pected on all main country roads, the
minimum width of surface should be
10 feet to provide these c~learances
when an automobile meets a truck.
Where the frequency with which
trucks pass each other becomes a big
factor, as in the neighbdrhood of
large cities, the minimum width of
pavement should be 20 feet to pro
vide q clearance of 81 feet and a
safe distance of wheels from edge OF
pavement.

they talked. Now, Harvard reached
out and put his arms around Kath-

kissing her brow, and inhaling the
fragrance of her hair. Then, holding
her so, he asked:

KEEPING BEST CALVES
OLD STOCK

While calves from low-producfng
are saved to maintain the herds
some farms, on other farms and
in other sections, where higher-prO-
ducing cattle are kept, calves from
300-pound COWS by pure-bred bulls
are often vealed because no market
is found for them as dairy stock.
This is an economic waste which, &C
cording to reports received by the
United States department Of Agri-
culture, the extension organization of
Coos County, Oregon, is striving to
eliminate.
About 80 calves from the best
stock in Coos county were saved last
year. by arrangements made with
farm bureaus of other counties to
take them when two weeks old at
$12 per head Grated and delivered at
the express office. Arrangements
were also made recently by a repre-
sentative of the Klamath county ex-
tension organization to spend 80 days
locating newborn calves of good
stock and finding a dairyman to feed
them for two weeks before shipment
to farmers in his own county.
The reports also say that calves
two weeks old are shipped safely as
far as 500 miles. or for SO hours
travel; day-old calves can rarely be
shipped.

THIS STARTS THE STORY.

A weekend house party is be-
ing held at the home of RATHER
inc and Bingham Harvard
Among the guests are Clancy,
Archer, Demming, Sears, and one
Conrad Belknap. Katherine dis
covers Belknap cheating at a
game of cards. She demands
that he leave her house immed-
ately. He scornfully refuses to
do so. Katherine is about to tell
her husband of the occurrence,
but hesitates owing to a peculiar
influence which Belknap seems to
exert over her. Convinced Of his
deception. however, and suspi-
coius of his actions, she is all the
more determined to ferret out
his real identity. Katherine has
formerly had an experience as
a police headquarters detective
under the name of Lady Kate of
the Police. She intercepts a tel
ephone call of Belknap's and dis
covers the name and address of a
woman confederate whom he
calls Berta. She learns that
Belknap has set afoot some
scheme. Realizing that he is sus
pected by Katherine, Belknap
threatens to expose the fact that
Katherine's brother, Roderick
Maxwilton, who is believed by
his parents to be dead, faces a
term in prison. Bingham Har-
ward, who once bore the alias
"The Night Wind" becomes
suspicious of Belknap and Kath-
crimes attitude toward him..
Katherine's parents arrive at her
home. Senorita Cervantez, a
pianist, also arrives. She appar-
emily is unable to speak, and
writes her words on a pad of
paper. 1t is revealed that she is
Berta, or Roberta, the coEfeder-
ate of Belknap. Belknap is mys-
titled at her pretense of being
dumb. Harvard attacks Belknap
one night after he has received
notes from both Katherine and
Roberta from a balcony of the
house. Belknap does not recOg-
nize his assailant. Shots are
fired at supposed burglars.
