WHAT is the significance and use
OF the red and green lights on the
sides OF vessels? Why was one
color chosen for one side and
another for the other side?
When a vessel can see only the
green light on an approaching ship,
Il is an indication that the oncoming
vessel is presenting her right eide;
when the red light only is visible,
the ship is presenting her left side.
when both lights are visible she is
coming straight ahead. Thus the
course of an approaching vessel can
be determined and collisions avoided
at night. When these lights were
Arst used, the green was chosen for
the right and red for the left: it
might have been decided vice versa
just as well. Airplanes flying at

This time It is for the domination

The Wreck said it would suit him
exactly.

Four Of the boys came in at sup

were out having a look at the fences
and Charley said they might not be
back for a couple of days. The quar-
tette took one look into the kitchen
and then made a quick start for the
bunk house where there was more
scrubbing and shaving within the
space of half an hour than Under

Charley could remember. Then they
drifted into the kitchen and hung
around.

look in her brown eyes, which were
as fine and long-lashed as any pair
that might have been found in the
face of q beauty. Her lips had a
pleasant curve when she smiled,
showing strong, beautifully even
teeth which even the Wreck had OBJ
served to be white beyond a fault.
The boys at Underwood's ranch
even fell to cleaning their fingernails
as they watched her. Somehow, with
out even so much as suggesting it by
word or look. Sally had a way of
creating in others-men, usually-an
impulse to be neat. She did not
mind having the boys sitting around
the kitchen, even though they did
not belong there until they were told
to come and get supper. There was
however, one feature that bothered
her She had chosen to be from the
east, like the Wreck, and 1t was not
easy to play the part There were
lots of things that a tenderfoot was

it kept her constantly on guard to

But 1t seemed that the Wreck was
a chemist who did things in steel
plants and he had picked up a lot of
information about smoke, as we'll as
q good deal of smoke itself. He was
going to make Pittsburgh as smoke
less as though it were run by cleo
tricity. 1t was only a question of
time and patience and a little more
research, he said. He explained the
whole thing to Sally, with lot OF
words that she did not understand

Pittsburgh and what he was going
to do 10 it, she also learned that he
was born in Yonkers, New York, had

I'm not nervous"
I'm an expert on nerves." he said.
You can't fool me. I've spent my
money on specialists and I know.
Right now you're more nervous than
am-and I'm a wreck"
There was a good deal of that kind
of conversation all afternoon. The
Wreck had an idea that if he could
get her really angry she might for
get about the sheriff for a while. But
the only times she got angry were
when she thought about Bob Wells.
