With one last hope Harry turned E on all the speed, and for a few na1n- { utes it responded beautifully ana carried him straight ahead, almost to E the edges Of the forest. Then with out warning, it plunged downWaro-s He could not see where ne was golngA to land, and shut his eyes to wait for# the crash he was sure was coming when he hit the tree-tops. Imagine his surprise to have found it came to a stop without so much as Jar. Hes opened his eyes and saw he had ana -a ed before a log cabin All around were trees, for miles and miles, put this small clearing had saved nm. It had been too small to be noticed when he was away up in the clouds
 On hearing the hydroplane scrape on the ground, man in rough hun-4 ter's costume, a gentleman in a cor duroy suit, woman in a blue g1ng- ham dress and three or four tow headed children all came out Of the cabin to see what was causing the noise.
 Had these people found an angel from heaven, they could not havf been more surprised than they were at what they saw.
 The two men came forward and asked if they could do anything for him, the gentleman explaining that this was his shooting-box, and that he had just come up from the city to see about some repairs Also that they were just at dinner and would be pleased to have him share 1t with them if he cared for such rough food as roast pig. apple sauce, potatoes ana gravy, with pumpkin pie.
 You call that rough food ?? said Harry. ''I call it meal fit for a king, and there is nothing I like bet ter in all the world than a piece of nice roast pig
 Come right in, then, and we will help you fix your airship after din- ner''
 Harry was nothing loath to go, as he was exceedingly hungry, having been many hours without food or drink, as he had been too nervous to eat his breakfast before starting. The aroma from the roasting pig made
 his mouth water every time the
 housewife opened the door of the
 oven to haste it.
 Just then they all heard 8 great splitting and clawing going on at their feet for Button had disturbed huge yellow cat that considered these his premises, and would have no strange cat out of an airship proving around As Button was an unusually large cat, he was a good match for this half wild cat of the forest, and in all probability they would have claw ed each other to death, as neither were made of the quitting stuff, but | the owner of the cat did not propose | to have him killed, so joined in the | fight and would have brained But | ton, had not Harry interfered by say 1 ing it was his cat.

He had obtained Me- Manus from Tulsa, Okla. in the spring of 1920. and Marty's boosters said he was ripe. But Foh1 hadn't been convinced. Marty was on the bench.

DINNER STORIES

A South Carolina town asked the lawmakers to make a law against agents Canvassers, they said, came to their doors every day and sold them things they didn't want.

A report that the Rev. Oscar Hay
wood. an evangelist, had carried on ku
Rlux Klan propaganda in the Calvary
Baptist Church. 1913 West Fifty-seventh
street, was circulated yesterday among
members Of the congregation. Several
members OF the church were quoted as
admitting that they had been approached
by DIR. Haywood and invited to join the
Klan.
DIR. John Roach Straton. the pastor.
denied last night that he knew anything
about the activities OF Or. Haywood in
this direction. and said that if any ku
Klux Klan propaganda was being cir
culated he was unalterably opposed TO
it. and il was done entirely without his
knowledge or consent
DIR. Straton said that DR.. Haywood
who Is now in the South was formerly
pastor of the Collegiate Church, which
was merged with the Calvary Church
about five years ago. Since then DR..
Haywoc ! has retained membership in
the Calvary Church and at his own re-
quest has been allowed to work as an
evangelist, using the name OF the church.
IT was said that leaflets setting forth
the aims Of the Ku Klux klan had been
distributed recently in the church and
hat organization meetings had Lecn
held there with klansman presiding n

Chairman Laskers most telling argu-

the establishment of an American mer-

minimum loss of Governmental opera
tion. which amounted during the last

of domestic violence in Louisiana may
startle the whole country.
IL has been reported that there have
been a great many murders and other
acts which without a fun possession or
all the facts would be classified as out
RACES against citizens. 1t is reported that
the Khan enjoys the support and con-
fidence of thousands of the best ana
most law abiding citizens of the State.
The very scope which the secret society
has attained bears testimony to this
fact.
1t is claimed on behalf of the Khan
that IL stands for the maintenance Of
law and order and of white supremacy
that its actions in defiance OF the law
are inspired by the highest feelings OF
patriotism, that it has punished the law
breaker and the Violator Of the sanctlty
~ the home, that il has driven from
communities the worthless and the de-
generate clements Thus the system has
its defenders and has been able TO eN-
tend it's sway with such absolutism as

DOUBTS SMITH BUDGET PLAN
Committee Asks Reform Through
Legislation.

Gov.-Elect Smith has been asked by
the Committee on Non-Partisan Facts
to work for budget reform through
legislation rather than constitutional
amendment. Doubt Is expressed that
an amendment can be obtained to meet
the peoples approval, and the point is
made that the form of budget by execu-
tive leadership. under which President
Harding and Congress are now work
ing. can be provided by the New York
Legislature without any constitutional
amendment.
This was the argument made by Gov.
Miller throughout the campaign.
