The girl looked at him quietly,
nodding her head.
He helped her into the dory. julius,
who at the ca 'in's orders had been
rifling the cabins, threw blankets to
her. Then tenderly, lending her his
strength, Ned helped Lenore over
the wind-swept deck into the bow
seat of the lifeboat, nearest to the
seat he would take himself. Buck

throbbing note in his voice. IN
look after you"
Already the deck was deserted.
The dim light showed that the larger
dory, containing McNaab, Forest,
julius and Mrs. Hardenworth, had
already been launched. There was
no sign of them now. The darkness
and the storm had already dropped
between. They could not hear a
shout of directions between the three
men. not scream of fear from the
terrified woman who was their
charge.
1t was as if they had never been.
Only the Charon was left, her decks
awash and soon to dive and vanish
beneath the waves-and their little
group in the dim CLEAN of the Ian
tern. Knutsen and Ned took their
places at the oarlocks, Ned nearer
the bow, Knutsen just behind. A
great wave seemed to catch them
and hurl them away.
Both girls sought refuge in
troubled sleep. Ned sat with his
arms about Lenore, giving her what
warmth he could from his own body.
Bess was huddled in her seat. Could
their less rugged constitutions stand
many hours of such cold and ex-
posure! 1t was losing game, al
ready. The North was too much for
them. Life is fragile thing at best:
few hours more might easily spell
tht end.
But that hour saw the return of
an ancient mystery, carrying back
the soul to those gray days when
the earth was without form, and
void. Darkness had been upon the
face OF the waters. but once more it
was divided from the day.
Even here. seemingly at the edge
Oh the world, the ancient miracle did
not fail. A grayness. like n mist,
spread slowly; and the curtains of
darkness slowly receded. The storm
was abating swiftly now: and the
dawn broke over an easily rolling
sea.
Captain Knutsen, who had sat SO
long in one position-his gaze. fast
cned on one point of the horizon
that he gave the impression of being
suddenly started and
pointed his hand. His voice, pitched
to the noise of the storm, roared out
into the quiet dawn.
"Land!" he shouted. "We're com
ing to land."

| ing streets selected as intra-urban sec.
| tons of such routes are usually plainly
posted. But in some cases these signs
leave off. on both sides, where the bust
ness district begins. AS general propo-
stion, too. at least in this part of the
country, such routes lead tourists
through streets where the traffic prob
lem is already acute.
Probably the latter circumstance is
due to the idea that it is good business"
to direct tourists right into the heart
of the business district. so that they
may do little shopping before they pro-
coed on their way-or may possibly be
induced, through the power Of visualiza-
ton, to remain in the city a few DAYS
Such psychological trick may work
in few cases, but it is doubtful if the
advantages thus gained, by a city are
greater than the disadvantages. Aside
from the aggravation of congestion
created by local traffic, the impression
upon the tourist is to be considered. If
he has purchases to make, he will turn
OFT the marked route to make them. and
then go back to that route to resume
his journey. Of course there are ex-
ccptions to this rule as to all others,
but they are probably not sufficiently
important to deserve primary consid-
Grafton
Most important is the general i'm
preston created upon the tourist. And
there is no more potent factor in the
creation of such impressions than the
ease or the difficulty with which he
is able to get around" in a city or to
travel directly through it. To Judge
a city by such standard may be IN
indication of superficiality. Yet it is |
a fact that most tourists. foolishly or
not, make e good or bad report of a
city they have visited accordingly as
they were or were not able to find their
way through it without annoyance or

MARKED STREETS FOR TOURISTS

There is no royal road to solution of
the problem of congestion in city traf-
fic. Not all cities are alike, and even
in a given city not only is there a va
riety of factors making for congestion
at given timc-a certain set of factors
on one street and another set on another
street-but conditions at given point
vary from day to. day and even from
hour to hour.
However, there are certain devices
which all cities, irrespective OF the ma
turc or peculiarities of their traffic, can
profitably use. 1t is with this fact in
mind, and not under the pretense of
having discovered a panacea for the
ills of city traffic, that NJ. o. Eldridge,
executive chairman of the American
Automobile Association, offers a sug-
gestion which deserves particular atten-
ton from tourist cities.
His idea, in brief, is that congestion
would be relieved somewhat If certain
streets were selected and marked for
what might be called trans-urban traf.
fic. In other words, signs posted along
series of streets leading from one side
of a city to the opposite side would be
of no little aid to tourists who are
merely passing through such city. Such
a route, says Mr.. Eldridge, would serve
double purpose if it were laid out SC
as to avoid those parts of the city in
which local traffic is normally of great.

If you'd ask me where I'D rather be,
Than any place know,
Id answer with CHEEKY smile
Right in San Antonio ~
If you'd ask me why fiI.d its charms
So full of joyful bliss
Id tell you that its summer skies
Are like a poets kiss.
It's climate when the frozen North
Is covered thick with snow
Is like n fairy's dream to Inc
That's why I love it so!
The flowers bloom in early June
And keep on till November.
The birds sing all day long in spring
And even in December.
The people are so friendly,
True Southern style you know.
No other place is half so quaint,
That's why l love it So!

l see beauty in the air
And beauty in its gorgeous parks
And beauty everywhere.
There are cities full of glamor,
Full of sunshine. full of life,
There are cities full of people

Bue there is not another city
That's a paragon, / know
Like the Metropolis of Texas
That's why / love it SOL!

A BELATED ENTERPRISE

A dispatch from Brussels says that
be helped up" 1t may be that this
project. launched by the Inter-Alied
Federation of Former Combatants. be-
| longs in the category of things better
late than never But just why the ma
tons that set out to save civilization
should wait for any federation to adopt
a resolution of the kind reported from
Belgium. before caring for the actual
needs OF men whose services made pos
sible the performance of that task, is
perhaps a question for profound phil
osophers. Yet the adoption of that rcso-
luton does not afford assurance against
a continuance of national delinquency
with respect to the treatment of the dis
abled or of those for whom the war, be
cause they took part in it, was de-
stroyer of opportunities.
The resolution adopted by the Fedora
ton of Former Combatants provides that
down-and-out ex-service men. when they
are met by former comrade. are 70 be
directed to the nearest American Le-
gion post, if in the United States. or to
the most convenient branch of any vet
erans' organization, if in Europe" At
such places, the resolution says. "the I'M
fortunate ones will be given money and
help in finding a job"
1t is a sad commentary supon the high
ideals professed by the nations which
won the world war that it Became neces-
sarv for eX-service men to form organi-
zations designed to overcome adver.ities
traceable to their participation in that
conflict. Countless are the stories that
have been told of ex-service men who
were shown but scant if any considera-
ton when they returned to the country
they had served. Not that an able
bodied former soldier should be handed
a cash sum in discharge of a debt owed
him by society The question OF a cash
bonus is one thing; proper treatment
of ex-seryice men in matters concerning
their general welfare is an entirely diff
ferent matter. What the ex-service men
are entitled to is an opportunity to get
a start in some gainful occupation. Many
of them have been denied such an oppor-
tunity, although thew would have. had
many opportunities if they had not gone
to war.
1t is not to be assumed that men who
were heroes on the field of battle will
be super-men when they return home
an@ take UP the pursuits of peace. But,
on the other hand, neither should it be
assumed that they are fit for nothing
but fighting. The nation that sends its
sons to war amid shouts of superiative
praise, amid weeping and flag-wa,i ing
and band-playing, that showers upon
them all varieties of creature comforts
while they are under fire, and then, upon
their return, levels upon them cold
stare OF unrecognition, is laying a predi-
cate for kind of cynicism that will not
raise armies in future times of national
need

WAR BY RADIO

To the picture of future warfare paint.
ed by Col. ]. F. c. Fuller of the British
army in his book. "Thc Reformation oil
War" another Briton, Prof. A. NJ. Low
scientist and inventor, has added some
details which greatly exercise the mag
ination. Much has been said and writ
ten about "the next war" Now and
then one is struck by the thought. which
is by no means a new one, that "the
next war" may be prevented bv the
very devices designed for its prescott
ton.
However, one can hardly read what
Professor Low has to say about the pos
sibilities in electricity as war weapon
without specializing upon the negative
as well as the positive uses to which
that strange force may be put For
example, this nventor-scientist, who was
"a find" of the British inventions board
during the world war, predicts that many
future war machines, including particu-
larly airplanes, submarines and tor
pedoes, will be electrically propelled and
controlled. He seems to base his pre-
diction largely upon the rapid progress
recently made in the development of
radio"
In addition to the adaptation of
radio" for the propulsion and control
of war machines with which the world
is already familiar he foresees the use
of that force in combination with water
for the destruction particularly of cav
airy. He himself, he says. has devised
a means of giving person very pow
erful shocks at distance of several
feet through the medium of highly
charged jets of slightly acidulated water.
And still another possibility is vsualized
IN the form OF instruments designed TO
transmit horrific noises to an enemy CITY
or camp, by wireless, so as to unnervc
and demoralze the residents or occu-
pants of such city or camp.
But this is only one side of the pic
ture. If radio" can be used for Of
fensive purposes, what of the possibili-
ties for its defensive use? Although
Professor Low devotes less attention to
the negative than to the positive uses
of electricity in war. fair conception

tence which appears in the nit of his
description of the offensive weapons
which may characterize future interna-
tional conflicts. Abandoning the fu-
ture terse and adopting the present for
the purpose of greater impressiveness
he says:
The victorious side, all unknown tc
the enemy, has discovered how to de-
range, by means of etheric waves. the
mechanism of the hostile arplanes.'
Thus would attacking aircraft, pro.
PEELED by electricity, fall helpless to the
ground.
SO, radio" might be made to "worl
both ways" whether applied to aircraft
ships at sea, or noise-making devices
intended to demoralize cities or camps
In this light it seems possible that
preparations for "the next war;" on the
offensive side, may be ncgatived by
preparations on the defensive side. Ii
