ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The Twins tried to move but
couldn't. The tiny pebbles on the
pebble wall had come rolling down
about them until the children were
almost buried up to their ears.
To make matters worse, the Bean
Shooter Man. TO whom the wall be-
longed, came along and read them
a lecture on manners, which they
didn't like at all.
But finally he rolled up his lecture
and put it into his pocket.
"There!" said he. TOO much is
plenty Now tell me about, your
selves where you are going and
where you came from and what you
are here for. And also how you hap
pened to knock down half my pebble
wall without my permission"
"l'm sorry said Nick. "But we
came from home and we aren't going
any place unless we can get out of
this stone-pile."
| The Bean-Shooter Man looked at
him sharply. Are you poking fun at
me?" he demanded. ~ hope not
That's the worst manners Of all. I'll
have to add that to my lecture when
I write it over. Now begin all over
again."

What" cried the Bean Shooter
Man in surprise. Have you magic
shoes? Then why don't you wish
yourselves out of this?"

she said:

We can't stay here any more. at all.
The shoes lifted them right out O.
the pebble pile and took them to tn,
top of the wall But their toe
caught, and more pebbles came roll
ing down, bringing the Twins will

So he took his long bean shoote

BUILDING HOMES

Real estate experts tell that the building activities
which are going forward all the country constitute the
greatest building program undertaken by any nation
ancient modern. Last year the amount of building
the United States totaed five and hreequarter billions
It freely predicted that the total for 1925 will the
six billion mark.
There are of course several for this The nor

This is healthy sign and is one which makes the de-

them is to realize how they come to
think them wise.
The clearest example is the COM
mon police court device for fuddling
the jury.
A man is caught stealing. The
man who caught him beats his wife.
Therefore. he did not steal.
BY what process does a jury allow
itself to be convinced that this alb
surdity is sensible?
Probably this: The jury is con-
crete minded. Abstract issues mean
little to it. as compared with visible
persons and things.
Visibly before it are two men. one
a thief and the other a wife beater.
The lawsuit is contest between
these two.
Which shall Twin" it? Certainly,
! not the wife-beater.
So the thief is acquitted.
Just subtract from your thought
everything that you can not see with
your eyes, and the conclusion does
not seem so irrational, after all.

AJAX SIX IN RECORD RUN
Los ANGELES TO ALBUQUE

From Los Angeles to Albuquer-
que in &c hours s minutesl That
is the record just established by a
strictly stock touring ear.
The time of the fastest train
between the two cities is % hours
and 9 minutes. Two hours longer
than it took the Ajax, and the dis
lance by rail is shorter by ii miles.
The Ajax left Los Angles with
two members of the local Ajax
dealer organization as drivers, and
a newspaper man as observer. The
party travelled through Victorville,
Barstow, Ludloy and Amboy, reach
ing Needles, 800 miles, in Z hours
As minutes.
From there the car sped on thru
Kingman, Seligman, Flagstaff, Win
slow, Holbrook, and Gallup to a
point just S36 miles from Los Ang-
eles, where the "a hour part of the
run was completed. Then it cross
ed the Continental Divide, and
p1owed on through the mud to AL
! sos miles was covered in an elaps-
ed time of &c hours, 8 minutes.
The fastest limited train was beat
en- by exactly 2 hours 1 minute.
The car was an Ajax touring
which had done a little over 1000
miles as a demonstrators and was
absolutely stock mechanically, its
only extra equipment being a spot
light, bumpers, motometer, stabil-
ators and two spare wheels with
tires mounted) instead of the one
which is regular equipment. The
tires were those which were on the
car when shipped from the factory
In addition to the three passengers
it carried considerable baggage
in fact, an average tourist load.
The run was performed under
the most trying conditions. All
sorts of bad roads were encount-
ered-deep heavy sand, rutty, rocky
roads and steep winding trails. The
last 60 miles was a sea of water
and slippery abode mud that made
the going both difficult and dan
gerous.

The Christmas Seals will soon be
here on their mission of humanity
and Wyomingites are urged to get
behind the movement and promote
the sale of these Health Seals so
that the good work of fighting off

Tuberculosis, one of the bugaboos
of modern days, a disease that all
dread, is making a losing stand

part of the State eventually. when
all details are completed, the in
stitution will be constructed and will
be among the foremost in the State.
Sale of the Christmas seals in for
