CHAPTER vIII-contlnued.

Captain Preston went with Solomon
Blnkus next day to the address on the
card Of Lieutenant Clarke. 1t was
the house of the general, who was
waiting with his son In the reception
COON. They walked together to the
Amack club. The general was self
contained. 1t would seem that his bad
opinion of Yankees was not quite so
comprehensive as 1t had been. The
whole proceeding went forward with
the utmost pollteness.
General, Mr.. BInkus and John Irons.
Jr., are my friends" said Captain
Preston.
Indeed" the general answered
Yes. and they are friends of Eng
Hand. They saved my neck In America.
4 have assured young Irons that your
words, IL they were correctly reported
to me. were spoken In haste, and that
they do not express your real opinion"
And what, sir. were the words re-
ported to your" the general asked.
Preston repeated them.
That is my opinion"
ut is mine Also" young Clarke de-
clared.
Solomon's face changed quickly. He
took deliberate aim at the enemy and
drawled:
Cant be yer opinion is wuth more
than the lives o. these young fellers
that's goin' to fight"
Gentlemen, you win save time by
dropping all thought Of apologies" said
the general.
Then IT only remains for you to
choose your weapons and agree with
us as to time and place." said Preston |
II choose pistols" said the young |
Britisher. "The time and place may
suit your convenience, so it be soon
and not too far away"
Let us say the COW wallow on Shoot

morrow Preston proposed.
Il agree" the lieutenant answered.
Whatever comes of 1t, let us have
secrecy and all possible protection from
each side to the other when the affair
is ended" said Preston.
Il agree to that Also" was the an

When they were leaving, Solomon

Red Light Traps Insects

A means for combating the winged
insect pests of tropical regions has
been evolved, by means of which the
flying bugs are lured into a deadly
bath of acid and either drowned or
asphyxiated by the fumes.
1t was found that red light served
as an almost irresistible lure for the
night-fyers.
A red electric bulb, or a lantern
with a red globe, Is placed near the
vessel containing the acid solution
AS the pests fly to the light the fumes
destroy them even though they may
not actually fall into the bath.
To protect human beings from pos
sible accidental contact with me acid

CHAPTER TX
The Encounter.

Solomon, Jack and their friend left
London that afternoon in the saddle
and took lodgings at The Rose and
Garter, less than a mile from the scene
appointed for the encounter. That
morning the Americans had sent a
friend OF Preston by post chaise TO
Deal. with Salomon's luggage. Preston
had also engaged the celebrated sur
geon, Doctor Brooks, to spend the night
with them so that he would be sure to
be on hand in the morning. The doc
tor had officiated at DO less than a
dozen duels and enjoyed these affairs
so keenly that he was glad to give his
help without a fee The party had
gone out in the saddle because Preston
had said that the horses might be use
ful.
So, having discussed the perils Of
the immediate future. they had done
all 1t was in their power to do to pre-
pare for them. Late that evening the
general and his son and four other gen.
tlemen arrived at The Rose and Garter.
Certain Of them had spent the after
noon In the neigaborhood shooting
birds ana rabbits.
Solomon got back to bed early and
sat for time In their room tfnkering
with the pistols. When the locks were
working right" as he put 1t, he pol
ishsd their grips and barrels.

there had been curious infection in

Preston paced the ground and laid
down strips of white ribband marking
the distance which was to separate
the principals. He summoned the
young men and said Gentlemen, is
there no way in which your honor can
be satisfied without fighting?"
They shook their heads.
"Your stations have been chosen by
lot. Irons, yours is there. Take your
ground, gentlemen"
The young men walked to their
places and at this point the graphic

Solomon felt the pistols and stroked
their grips with loving hand.
Side by side they knelt by the bed
together for a moment of silent prayer.
Others were stirring In the inn.
They could hear footsteps and low
voices In room near them. Jack put
on his suit of brown velvet and his
white silk stockings and best linen,
which he had brought In a small bag.
Jack was looking at the pistols, when
there came a rap at the door. Preston
entered with Doctor Brooks.

CLEANING UP COTTON FIELDS

The cleanup that is now going on in the cotton
fields of the valley with numerous employers of child
labor being fined, is highly commendable. Perhaps
the men who have had to pay heavy fines the past few
weeks do not think so, but start had to be made
somewhere, sometime.
We have been entirely too lax in this matter of
child labora condition that is rapidly being recog-
nized as vital national problem everywhere. The
conservation of childhood is unfortunately matter
that is given too attention in Imperial Valley
largely because of the difficulty entailed in coping
with the problem and because of the fact that cotton

environment in which child labor is most profitable
for exploitation.
with dscredit to ourselves in national magazines with
the general employment of child labor at certain sea-
sons pointed out black spot against reputation.
The ltnerant nature of the families who engage in
cotton picking has had much to do with making solu
tion of the problem difficult MeXicans with several
children in the family migrate from point to
other, and if they told to get the children into
school and fail to do investigation usually proves
that they have folded their tents and flown to other
parts.
Harry A. Skinner, supervisor of school attend
,ance IN Imperial Valley is to be congratulated upon
the resolute stand he has taken in this issue. Mr..
Skinner who superintendent of the inland school
for several years before assuming his present duties,
is conversant with conditions in Imperial Valley and
is waging determined warfare this evil of child
labor and delinquency in school attendance.

RADIO POWERS,

FACING STRIFE

WASHINGTON, Oct S.-Promis-
ing better programs and better re-
ception with simpler radio sets, re-
presentatives of. the larger broad,
casting concerns today sought en-
dorsement of the third national Era-
dio conference for removal of the
federal one-kilowatt power restric
tion on broadcasting stations.
In the sessions OF the special sub
committee appointed by Secretary of
Commerce Hoover to consider power
limitations there was bitter strife
between inventors, manufacturers
and large and small broadcasters,
who lined up sharply for and against
the high power broadcasting system
proposed by the Radio Corporation
Of America.
High power plants are more eff
cient, cover more territory at less
cost and would provide far better
programs than the small stations,
those i'll favor of abolishing the low
power restriction argue. They are
answered by the small broadcasters
who charge that powerful stations
bring monopoly, create interfer-
cnce and would tend to cut down the
variety of radio entertainment.
The department of commerce, an
ticIpating the eventual demand for
high power broadcasting units, has
experimental with that type of
equipment and found:
/. The greater the Transmitting
power employed the simpler the re-
ceiving set required.
