CHAPTER XVII

Zen!"
How is he-how is Wilson" she
demanded, breathlessly.
Sound as a bell" he answered,
alarmed by her manner. The self
assured Zen was far from self-assur-
ance now. Come, see, he is asleep
He led her into the wEim-room and
turned up the lamp. The lad was
sleeping soundly, his teddy-bear clasped
in his arms, his little pink and white
face serene under the magic skies of
Sunderland. Grant expected that Zen
would throw herself upon the child in
her agitation, but she did not. She
drew her fingers gently across his
brow, then, turning to Grant:
Rather an unceremonious way to
break into your house, she said, with
little laugh. Il hope you will pardon
me. l was uneasy about Will

1.-The hat?'
Then both laughed, and an atmos-
phere that had been tense began to
settle back to normal. Grant led her
out TO the living room, removed her
coat, and started a fire.
They sat in silence for some time,
and presently they became aware of a
= gray light displacing the yellow glow
from the lamp and the rudy refiec-
tions of the fire. 1T is morning" said
Grant. Il believe the storm has
cleared"
He stood beside her chair and took
her hand in his LET us watch the
dawn break on the mountains" he
said, and together they moved TO the
windows that overlooked the valley
and the grim ranges beyond. Already
shafts of crimson light were firing the
scattered drift of clouds far over
head.
"Dennison," she said at length, turn
ing her face TO his, II hope you will

to Save His Life.

Fritz, the German police dog, whose
sentence to death in Police Court Sat
urday led the Humane Education
Society of the District to intercede
this morning with the court in his
behalf. lost his last hope of saliva
tion today when Judge SchuIdt sign
ed an official order to the pound
master for the dogs execution
The court order was necessitated
by the refusal of Fritzs master,
Lewis A. Payne, 3410 Lowell street, to
give the usual owners consent that
the dog be killed at the pound.
When news of the dogs conviction
became known yesterday Miss Edna
Patton, secretary of the education
society. communicated with Harry
Almond, secretary to Commissioner
Rudolph, and offered to take Fritz to
the farm for friendIess animals main
tained by the organization in Mary
land if sentence could be commuted
The offer was brought to the at
tention of Judge Schuldt this morn
ing.
When the case was heard in court
there were fourteen witnesses, in
cluding Policeman H. F. CornwelI to
testify the dog had bitten persons
and was dangerous.
AS the story goes, Fritz attempted
to prove his good character in court
and permitted strange folk to caress
him. Before the trial ended, however,
Fritz leaped at an attorney. He was
committed to the pound until an order
for his execution is issued
Fritz will be put to sleep by gas.

OFFICIALS PREPARE
WATER FRONT PLAN
New Building Line Provides
Space for Boulevard Along
+! Washington Channel.

A definite step toward the improve
-nent and orderly development of the
Washington channel water front was
taken at the District building today,
when the engineer department drafted a
for the establishment of a new building
line on the river front
This building line, if adopted. will not
disturb existing structures, but will
keep future wharf buildings in harmoni-
GUS line City officials and trade or
Eanzations for years have been advo-
eating a project for the reconstruction
of the water front in keeping with the
Speedway and Potomac Park. The ac-
tion taken today is regarded as an in
itial move in that direction.
The wharf committee, headed by Ro-
land Brennan, chief clerk of the engineer
department and Capt. John Z. Wood,
assistant engineer Commissioner, united
in proposing the building line restric-
tion.
The proposed line has been drawn
125 feet back of the pierhead line
established by the War Department
18th street to the War College.
Strip to BE Kept Clear.
This would leave a strip of wharf
frontage free of structures for what
ever treatment may be decided upon
when funds are obtained from Con-
greSs for the renovation of the
water front
The man prepared by Capt Wood
End Mr. Brennan for submission to
the Commi SSioners also fixes a build
ing line for the wharf side OF Water
street.
The present board OF Commission
erS has shown u keen interest in the
jong-Standing movement to improve
the appearance of the channel across
from Potomac Park.
When Commissioner Oyster took
office three years ago he interested
himself in the waterfront situation
and was instrumental in having a
number of unsightly sheds removed.
Engineer Commissioner Bell has
been at the District building less than
a year. but in that short time has in
formed himself of the proposed plans
and is known to be anxious to obtain
the necessary appropriation to have a
definite scheme worked out.
Plan for Boulevard.
Maj. Eeli has previously expressed
an intention to study the water front
problem this spring. Commissioner
Rudolph also is favorable to improv-
ing the appearance of the water front
The tentative schemes that have
been worked out for the rebuilding of
the wharves do not contemplate the
elimination OF waterway commerce.
but are designed to work in CONNER
cial structures in an attractive way
and leave room for a boulevard along
Water street TO link Potomac and
.Anacostia Parks.

of public buildings and grounds, is

Gals in the proposed establishment

VARYING RULES
CONFUSING To
MOTOR|ST
Tourists Are Expected to
Know Special Traffic
Regulations

Thanks to constant agitation by
automobile clubs, much has been
done toward uniform automobile
regulations in various parts of the
country, but compared to the work
still to be done, only small portion
has been accomplished.
In motoring from one State to
another, the automobilist still finds
himself confronted with a variety
OF equipment requirements" says
w. e. Holler, vice president and
general manager of the Flint Motor
Company, Flint, Mich. "Usually on
learning that the traveller is from.
another city, or from another State.
traffic officers permit him to pass
by, but oftentimes people are sub
jected to considerable indignity al
the hands of officials. This is eS,
pecially the case when turning cor.
ners at traffic post in a strange
city. Some cities require the motor
list to pass to the left Of the traffic
officer and others make him drive
around the policeman. How is he
to know which to do, and why
should he have to endure series
of word punishments for doing the
hest he can?
stop signals, il properly placed
and not too numerous, are an I'M
doubted blessing, saving lives and
making motoring in cities safer and
less complicated, but where is the
city that lights its stop signals at
night? The signs are usually placed
at the sidewalk edge, several feet
from the street curb, easily seen In
the daytime but beyond headlight
reflection at night. Doing his best
to abide by traffic laws, the motor
list may suddenly find himself con.
fronted by traffic man, who de-
mands to know why he does not
heed stop signals. The traffic man
is doing his duty as instructed, but
that doesn't help the well-meaning
motoriSt.
The greatest ground gained is
in uniform speed laws. Most States
recognize certain average safe
speeds under given traffic conditions
and pass equitable laws which are
nearly alike in all sections"

LENGTH Of
LIFE
Or. Woods Hutchinson De-
cIares Car Is Great
Factor in Health.

SYRACUSE, n. r.. Nov. 12.-
Speaking Of making health con.
tagious" before the State committee
on tuberculosis and public health Of
the State Charities Association, to-
day, Doctor Woods Hutchinson. Of
Boston, noted author and lecturer.
declared that not only had the
average lifetime in the United
States increased about fifteen
years in the last half century, but
that the span Of life will in all
probability be still further length
ened. The automobile. he said,
was an important factor in this.
Doctor Hutchinson said:
Modern life. with its automo.
biles, its speed, it's dainty foods
and it's other luxuries, isn't SO
bad after all. In the face of what
have been looked on as the sure
indications of an early grave, the
chances of man living to seventy.
five or eighty have almost been
doubled in the past half century.
Fifty years ago the average
period of life was thirty-seven. To-
day it is fifty owing to the great
strides in medical science and to
mans change in his mode of liV.
ing.
THE automobile is one Of the
biggest factors in promoting longev-
ity. Your car takes you out in
the open into the air, and the
sunlight, natures great curative
forces. Your car adds to your
years of life."

the work to be done by the part re-
quires; so we must watch for i'm.
purities which would lessen that
strength.
Sometimes we have to follow a
piece of metal all the way back to
the steel mill, where 1t was first
poured into ingots, and suggest
changes in methods there in order
to bring it up to the required stand
ard.
This original inspection Is just
beginning. That lot of metal is
followed all through the manufactur.
ing process. At every stage samples
are brought to the laboratory and
re-examined. Every day connecting
rods, for instance, are taken from
stock, cut open and examined just
as a check upon the cleanliness and
strength Of the metal being used
"A single defective part in a
steering mechanism, we remember,
might at some future time cost a
human life, and every possibility Of
such a part entering a Cadillac car
must be absolutely eliminated be-
fore that part is assembled in the
finished chassis"
