exuberant bound, white-cap-
ped and sparkling. She
threw her head back, took in
a long tingling breath and
with a leap flung through
the trough. She rode up
laughing shaking the water
from her eyes.
Evening-sunset colors in all that
wall of mountains; the sky like a
gay parasol opened in bands of flame
and purple. Sandy came slowly TO
the beach, her pulses thrilling. She
too in long, singing breaths as
though she would drink endlessly
the peace and beauty of the tropic
night.
1t was two months since the day
she went to- her uncle. Two months
since Bob Mcneil covering her cold,
shaking hands said to her: go back
now, Sandy. Say nothing of this
visit--nothing at all. The bit I can
lend you won't do a particle of good,
but I'll see that you get away and
that you can stay away as long as
you like. Trust me, won't you!"
She didn't ask a question. She
only knew the doctor had come. He
had talked a long time with Murillo.
And a week later Sandy and her
mother were on the steamer bound
for Honolulu.
Her only feeling then was a surge
of grateful relief. She lay on the
steamer chair hour after hour, think
ing only: Free! Getting away"
She was so thankful to Bob Mcneil
that her eyes filled when she
thought Of him.
Stay as long as you like! Don't
let them frighten you into coming
back before you're good and ready,
little kid"
"And remember, you've got to
come back good as new; swapping
your fingers at heaven and hell
ssain!' He said all this with that
gallant smile of his fixed on her
face.
She answered with a pathetic at
tempt to be Whimsical: "Don't-expect
quite that much, Bob. / can't raise
the dead, you know. And all of you
buried that debonair lady. You bur-
led her on her wedding night. Didn't
you know it?v
She believed this. She thought
"All / want is to get free from him. "
She didn't ask for joy or for love.
She never expected to feel the blood
leaping in her veins with the mere
sladness of sunshine and warm,
happy days.
But here she stood now looking
out to the sun-dashed waves; looking
across to the sedate line of palms
walking at the waters edge, then
glancing upward TO the many-colored
mountains. Their mellow spirit
touched her, filled her with a dream
ing, happy languor.
She raised her hands behind her
head, closing her eyes. Nothing in
the world but sun and warmth and
color; nothing but this lulling, tropic
joy.

She received letters from Murillo.
She never read them. They came
TO her with a shock of uneasincss. She
tucked them hurriedly in a corner OF
her suitcase.
Her mind closed against him sharp
ly just as she snapped the suitcase
on his letters.
And she would go down to the
beach, holding her head backward,
running. She thought Of the baby

TRY FOR QUAIL.

On that day three of the guests,
Garrison. Bell and his younger broth
er, decided to abandon the hunt for
deer and shoot quail. Armed with
shortguns they ventured forth and
stirred up large covey about near
by hill. After bagging a number they
decided to cross a valley to another
bill. While picking his way through
the brush in the gully, Detective Bell
almost walked into large buck. The
deer ran and the detective blazed away
with his shotgun loaded with No. Z
birdshot. He knocke the buck down.
He then sprang forward and seized
the animal by the horns, as the in
furiated deer regained its feet and at

DEER AGAINST MAN.

Hearing Bells cries Garrison rushed
to his aid. He seized the deer by the
hind feet. Then the struggle began.
Over and over the three rolled, the
men tossed in the air and crashed to
the ground by the mad struggles of the
buck. The three rolled almost so yards
before kid" Bell. alarmed by the
noise arrived at the ringside.
Using a long hunting knife he
quickly dispatched the buck and rem
dered first aid to the other combat
ants. Garrison had been badly kicked
by the sharp hoofs of the buck and
Bell had been cut in a number of
places by its horns. The clothing of
both was in tatters and their bodies
were covered with bruises and lacera-
tons.
The three other deer were shot by
Carver and Ruhnke. One of these
sighted by both at the same time fell
with a bullet from the rifle of each in
its body.

THEATERS
DOUBLE FEATURE BILL
At WEIR SUNDAY ONLY


Adventures in the Far North" .
series of pictures taken during q
hunting and whaling expedition that
lasted seven months are part Of the
double feature bill ct the Wier Sum
day. Theyaare singulafly interesting.
There are some fine scenes showing
the harpooning OF whales, also pic
lures OF walruses. But perhaps the
best picture is that showing a polar
bear and her cub. An attempt Is
made from the ship to catch the cub.
When the rope is around it, the moth
er fights and lashes the side Of the
vessel Eventually because Of the re-
markable performance Of the mother
bear, the little one is freed and one
sees them both swimming off. the cub
keeping very close to the big bear.
Captain Kleinschmidt, who took his
wife ON this expedition, has had the
picture titled as If it were Mrs.
Klienschmidt's diary, which is quite
effective, It is a most interesting
production and runs for about an
hour.

REAL WAGES COMPARED
THROUGHOUT WORLD

The problem of comparing the lev
els Of real wages in different coun-
tries is of considerable Importance as
well as difficulty, and various at
tempts have been made by govern
ments and others to find a>reliable
means of comparison. In particular,
the British Ministry of Labor has for
some time compiled statistics show
ing the relation between wage rates
and cost Of living in different coun-
tries. The international Conference
OF Labor Statisticians, held under the
auspices Of the International Labor
Office at the end of 1929, adopted a
proposal put forward by the repre-
sentatives at the Conference of the
British Government, and recommend
ed that the International Labor Off
ce should be asked to continue and
extend this enquiry. With some
small notifications in detail this is
now being done. It is proposed tc
publish in the international Labor Re
view tables giving wage rates and
average retail prices Of certain ar
ticIes of food in different capital
cities, and quarterly the table show
ing the purchasing power Of each Of
the average wage rates over the var
ious typical budgets selected.

ALL IS NOT FUN THAT
SEEMS So" SAYS LLOYD

There is a peculiar psychology
about the making of comedies for
the screen that absolutely has to be
understood by the producer if he ex-
poets to make good pictures. Harold
Lloyd explained this one day while
engaged in the production of his in
itial independent feature Pathecom-
edy.. "Girl Shy" A group of visitors
on the sidelines were laughing heart
lily at the action in progress at the
time.
That's bad sign, averred Lloyd,
who joined the group after the scene.
"In nine instances out of ten, scenes
that get laughs in the making are
disapp5:i. aents when we see them
in the Washes shown the next day
upon the screen"
"And after ALL" he continued, "it's
the laughs we place on the screen,
not the laughs we get while we are
making the picture, that count"
LIoyd's theory has worked out
many times. One of the biggest
scenes Of "Girl Shy" in which several
hundred extras were employed, was
filmed at night, and drew many visi-
tors TO the Hollywood studios.
The story called for q small town
band, and the most ludicrous types
were selected for this quartette,
Everyone on the set, including Mr.
Lloyd's staff, got good laugh out Of
these musicians. Everybody thought
they would be scream on the screen
But the next day, when the 'rushes'
were projected they fell absolutely
fat. They did not even get as much
as a smoker. It was a sad disappoint-
ment, but it verified Harold's opinion
that all is not funny that gets laughs
in the filming. d & r Saturday last

IS LABOR MEASURES
SLATED BY I'LL. UNIONS

By International Labor News Service
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 29.lThe
Illinois State Federation of Labor,
working in conjunction with repre-
sentatives of the railroad brother
hoods, will seek enactment of 10
measures at the present session of
the Illinois Legislature.
Foremost of these will be the in
junction limitation bill to prevent
judges from restraining peaceful
picketing and otherwise depriving cit
liens of their constitutional rights.
Second on the program is ratification
of the Child Labor Amendment to the
Federal Constitution.
The third item consists of two bills,
both of which are intended to insure
trial by jury to persons held in labor
disputes for contempt of court and
amendment of different sections Of the
judicial code to bring this about.
The fourth bill is an amendment to
the State workmen's compensation
law to increase the weekly allowance
awarded to persons who suffer acci-
dents in hazardous industry.
A fifth measure would limit the en-
ployment Of women to eight hours a
day. The sixth is the one-day-rest-
in-seyen bill. A seventh would amend
the State law governing corporations
to require such bodies to furnish the
Secretary of State with evidence of
it's ability to pay the wages of per-
sons employed by it.
The eighth measure will require
the State, in purchasing fuel, to buy
only Illinois coal. Under the present
law it is required to accept the lowest
bid.
The ninth and tenth bills affect
railroads, the first being intended to

GOOD ADVICE TO WIVES
FROM NOTED FILM STAR

"The wife who is fed up on house

still be in love with her husband, but
the same old thing at home gets
tiresome once in a while and she
longs for some of the glory of ro-
nance after dinner.
Husbands, would advise you to
get your wives out of the kitchen

the second would require that rain

are required to work out of doors on
railroad car repair work in bad
weather. The eleventh is the old age
pension act which would provide a
pension for persons 10 years old, who
have been continuous residents Of the
State for 20 years and whose incomes
are insufficient. The twelfth bill re-
fers to out-of-work relief reinsurance
and the thirteenth would enable labor
to make an insistent demand for a

listing in the present conspiracy act.

Insomnia Conquered,
 Says Young Genius
 of Cheshire County

LONDON, June 23. (P)-Only the oldfashioned folks will go on count ing phantom sheep as an induce ment to sleep if half of the claims are realized of the inventor of a new machine designed to relieve in- somonia victims of all their bothers
 This novel contrivance which was recently patented by young Ches- hire inventor after four years of ex- perimenting, represents an attempt to adapt the science of chromopathy or relief by colors to the treatment of sleeplessness. The user of the apparatus, upon going to bed places the sleep producing machine, which in many ways has the appearance of a wireless receiving set, upon a near by table, and presses intermittently at a switch which is held in his hand. This causes rays of 12 diff ferent cOlOrs to flash from the ma- chine in pre-arranged sequence, and it is the effect of this combination of colors upon the retina of the eye that is supposed to induce sleep for even the most restless persons.
 Many stubborn cases of sleepless- ness are declared to have been over come in periods varying from 10 to 15 minutes, and furthermore, the in, ventor contends that by the use of his apparatus he is easily able to put an ordinary person to sleep al almost any time during daylight The rays have no i'll effect whatever says the inventor, on the eyesight
