Two Surveys Made.
Surveys of the two routes proposed

reported that the route is not feasible

The new day frocks show an in- teresting use of contrasting materials as well as colors. Heavy crepe is combined with velvet; twill is fre- quently used in connection with crepe de chine, and, more novel still. are the combinations of fine woolen weaves with so sheer a ma terial as crepe roma.
 Fabrics very different in texture and brightly contrasting in color distinguish the day frock sketched today. The skirt and the panel on both the back and front of the bodice are of very fine twill in navy blue. In sharp contrast to this serviceable shade are the sleeves and sides of the bodice of lacquer red faille. To further ac- centuate this arresting color, there is a band of decorative gold en- broidery on both the bodice and skirt and a wide border of white silk stitching combined with white beads on the edges of the sleeves.
 In silhouette, this dress reveals the slightly bloused bodice and slender skirt characteristic Of the present day contour. The skirt is

A surgeon who sees a patient in this condition usually makes sure by the Xray that the bone is broken He then tries to bring the broken edges into contact in the normal po- sition, and, having placed them in that position. holds them there by means of splint or in some in stances with plaster of Paris cast.
 After the arm has been in a cast for a considerable period. the mus cles will have lost their ability to move properly, and additional treat ment is necessary to bring back the power of motion. It is customary to recommend massage, preferably done by an expert.
 Massage is not undertaken until the healing has progressed far enough to prevent the likelihood of breaking the bone again by too much effort. It is customary to al- low at least IS days for proper heal ing before the masseur attempts any motion. Motion by the person him self is seldom attempted until after somewhat longer period.

Danny Bites His Tall
Bl Thornton ". Burgess

It Is a fact that truth may seem More wonderful than any dream.
 Danny Meadow Mouse.
New Britain herald., 1926-10-26

Danny Meadow Mouse, riding in an empty egg-crate in a small auto mobile truck, hadn't the slightest idea where he was being carried. Maybe I'll never get home to the Green Meadows" thought Danny. Tt may be that I am being carried straight back to where I came from. But as long as I don't know, it's foolish to worry. I'll be carried somewhere and then I'll start on again." So Danny made the best of matters and actually got a nap.
 Finally the truck stopped. Danny heard voices. There was something familiar about those voices. He couldn't think just what it was There was a boys voice and a mans voice, and after bit a woman's voice.
 Did you bring back the empty egg -crate?" asked the woman's S voice.
 Yes" replied the boys voice, "of course we did. I'll take 1t out right now"
 Danny felt the crate lifted out of tn truck and carried a short dis tance and then put down. He judged that it had been carried into some place. After that all was quiet. Dan- ny began to wonder where he was. He wanted to get out and see. He tried his teeth on the wood of the crate and found that it was not very thick. If he had to he could gnaw his way out, He climbed up to the top. He pushed his nose into the crack between the cover and the side of the crate. The cover moved little. You see, that cover wasn't fastened Danny listened to make sure that the way was clear. Then he worked until he had lifted that cover enough for him to squeeze out. He jumped down to the floor of a barn. He knew it was a barn because he could smell the hay and could hear the horses and cows. It was dark, but of course that didn't bother Danny any. You see, he loves darkness.
 If this is a real sure-enough barn, and I guess it is, it will be good place to stay a while," nut

Quicksands of Love
 Adele Garrison's New Phase of
 -RepeIotions of q Wife

Madge Promises Never to Forget Fathers Counsel
 At my impassloned expostulation against the astounding advice my father had given me, l heard a sibi- lant intake Of his breath which WAS almost a sob, and quick contrition was my portion. Honesty compelled me to the grudging admission that he had said nothing to me concern ing my marital problems which was not justified from his standpoint.
 Disguise facts to myself and flame to Dicky's defense though l might, his strictures against my husband were as true as his shrewd surmise that the charm and fascinating mentality of Philip Veritzen were strangely intriguing me. The only thing to which I could object logi- cally was his advice to consider Hugh Grantland's unswerving de- votion to me if Dicky's conduct should ever result in our life being divided. And though that was breath-talling and revolutionary, yet it did not warrant the wound to my fathers sensibilities which I had just given him.
 I had no chance for the moment, however. to utter the apologX upon my lips, for my father was speaking with rush of agitated words.
 "Please forgive me!'
 "Oh, my darling girl! have I wounded you so sorely?" he eX- claimed remorsefully, but there was something in his tone which told me that his contrition was only for his fancied abruptness in telling me what he had. There was in it no change of opinion. no backing down from the startling things he had said. But though that knowledge troubled me, it made no slightest difference in my own tempestuous apology.
 Father, dear, please forgive me-" I pleaded. Tt was beastly of me to flare at you that way when you were trying so hard to help me. And -and-I-suppose you-aro-right -about-"
 He put his hand lightly over my lips.
 Dear child" he said softly, tell me nothing, admit nothing, even to yourself. at this time. You are too shocked, too much overwrought, and
New Britain herald., 1926-10-26

1t is my fault. I should have been more adroit, and less sudden in my counsel. But your forgiveness is sweet to me, and with it we will put away the unpleasant things of which We were talking. But I am counting on your memory if ever in the future you should wish my counsel and l should not be near you"
 The vague fear which had been mine ever since I had noted his odd reception of Hugh Grantland's coded cablegram, famed into ter TOT.
 Sealing the Promise
 What do you mean, father?" I cried in panic. Why should you not be near me always, at least as near as the farm is to the city? I thought that was one reason you had settled down there-you told me for the rest of your life"
 50 I have, so l have, dearest he said hurriedly. but you know that they occasionally call me down to Washington for consultation upon some secret service problem, so that l might very well be absent at just the time that you needed me"
 It was lame excuse, and the he's itating' evasion of his manner deep ened my conviction that something confronted my father, some danger or trouble, which he did not wish me to know. But it was evident that he did not intend to admit me into his confidence. and I forbore to question him, although my heart was heavy with forchoding.
 It was more than a minute before he spoke again. Then he said meas uredly:
 At the risk of hurting you again I am going to ask you never to for get what I have said to you to- night"
 His tone held such wistfulness, such poignant anxiety, that every last vestige of my resentment fled. and with my arms around him I gave him the assurance he had ask ed. telling myself grimly that his eXaction of the promise was super fluous thing. If I should live to be q centcnarian I never could forget the astonishing counsel he had giv- en me.

Double Danger

The handle tears itself from the grasp and, in case of backfire on the upward pull, only wrenches the ten dons. There still is a possibility, however, that the handle, after per forming complete turn, may crash into the back of the arm. In some cases the fracture occurs without the handle leaving the hand. In these instances it is due to a sud- den jerk on the bone by the muscles and tendons which are attached to it. The person whose arm is broken seldom realizes just how the acci- dent happened.

Maybe I'll never get home to the Green Meadows thought Danny tered Danny, talking to himself for lack of anybody else to talk to. I'll look around a little bit and see how like it."
 So Danny started to look around, but he hadn't gone far when he stopped. There was something very very familiar about that barn. He'd been there before. It was queer, but he knew exactly where to go. Danny was getting so excited that it was a wonder he didn't dance. Am l dreaming?" said he in his saueaky little voice. T must be dreaming. It must be that I'll wake up after a little and find myself in a strange place. l can't be awake now. No, sir, l cant be awake"
 Suddenly Danny turned and did a funny thing. What do you think it was he did? He bit his tail. Yes, sir, Danny Meadow Mouse turned around and bit his own tail. and he bit it hard.
 "Ouch!" he cried in that funny squeaky voice of his. "Ouch," l am awake. l am! I am! And this is Farmer Browns barn! I ought to know it, I've spent more than one winter it in."
 And the best part of it all is, Danny was right. Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns Boy had driven into market that day to take a crate of eggs. and they had brought back that empty crate to be refilled. So there Danny was back at Farmer Browns.

 T haven't thing to give Jack but myself, and I'm glad I'm not exactly ugly" she was thinking when Margret's voice broke in upon her thoughts.
 Honey Lou" she said, and in the glass her eyes were fixed on Honey Lou's smooth whiteness, you just have everything worthwhile in the world. don't you? You're making a wonderful marriage. and you're so beautiful that it's no wonder every man who comes along falls head, neck and heels in love with you. Steve Mayhew-" She could get no further. Her voice broke on Steve's name. and she drew in her breath with sharp little hiss.
 The next second she had turned away from the mirror. and dropped into the rocker by the window with her head down in her hands. She was crying.
 Honey Lou said nothing. There was no use in saying anything.
 She knew and Margret knew why Steve had stayed away from the house for the last six days ever since the engagement had been announced in the paper. There was no doubt in her mind that Steve was in love with her as he never had been in love with Margret and she was far too honest to pretend any thing else.
 She could only put her arms around Margret. and hold her close, strokirg her dull, un-colored hair with comforting hand.
 The first of the wedding guests to arrive was Angela. Angela, all in white satin and pearls, and carrying a great sheaf of flowers.
 Why, you look like a bride, yourself! You're going to put me completely in the shade!" Honey Lou declared when she walked into the house. Doesn't she look wonderful. mother?'
 Mrs Huntley frowned a little at the question. There was no doubt that Angela looked very beautiful in her white clothes, and very bride like, too. She smiled angelic ally.
 This was the dress I'd planned to wear when I got married, my self" Margret heard her say from the bedroom where she was put ting a few last touches to her own dress of green taffeta. T bought 1t in Paris, years ago."
 'I'n bet she was planning to marry Jack Wallack, herself, when she bought it said Margret to herself, with a tight smile.
 That smile was still on her face when Angela walked into the bed room with her arm around Honey Lou's shoulders.
 How do you do." she greeted Margret shortly in cold tone.
 Then she went on talking to Honey Lou; q brought you a book 10 slip into your travelling bag. darling. Even the happiest bride is sure to want something to read on her honeymoon" She slipped the book into the new tan dressing bag.
 Five minutes later when she and Honey Lou left the room to help Mrs. Huntley hook up her new lavender silk dress Margret looked at the book she had bought.
 It was one of May Sinclair's- the story of man who marries one woman while he is in love with an- other.
 Margret happened to have read it, and knew what it was all about.
 She gave little snort as she looked at it. Then she carried 1t to the window and deliberately dropped in into the rain-swept alley below!
 That's a nice book to give Honey Lou on IT wedding trip!' she said to herself, and she's fine kind Of a friend"

Ever since motor cars became popular. and particularly in the period before self-starters, surgeons have seen a number of cases of what have become known in the slang of the profession as back fire" or 'chauffeur's" fracture.
 This fracture usually affects one of the bones of the lower arm near the wrist. In cranking a car, back fire may occur either on the down. ward swing or on the upward pull.
 In study of 42 cases of the frac- ture' made by British surgeon. he found that the likelihood of fracture is less with the back-fire on the up- ward pull.

 Injury.

Tn a recent issue of the Press Tel egram, published in Long Beach, Cal, an account of a Foster oil gusher breaking in" was reported. Believ- ing the account may be of interest to the readers of the Gateway the article is re-published.
 The article follows:
 rUSHER days returned to the Sig nal Hill field this morning with all the old oil-soaked setting when Kolbush & Johnston No. 1 well in the $500 block on Locust Avenue developed into wild hole, shoot ing 2500 barrels a day to the top of the crown, block under tremendous gas pressure and spraying a resi- dential neighborhood, which until a few weeks ago was one of the most fashionable sections of the city.
 While the crew was bailing the well it got out from control at o'clock this morning. Roaring to the top of the derrick, six-inch stream of oil revealed heretofore unsuspected production possibilities of the northwest extension of the field. The new producer, is two miles northwest of any wild well ever de- veloped in the field. fs
 Today the well was to have been turned to Van Foster well known op- orator. 1t was to have been called Foster 75 and will be so designated. The crew in the employ of the Kol- bush & Johnston Company was caught unawares as the stream of oil follow ed the bailer from the 4290-foot lev el, where the we'll had been cement d.
 Tn Foster interests at noon were planning ito cap the well.

operator in the field extension would not predict a gusher such as result ed. ais.
 The geyser of oil shot ito the top of the derrick and turned Locust Avenue into an oil stump for half a block. The F. J. Leeds home at 3535 Locust Avenue was covered with oil and lawns and shrubs were damaged heavily. The c. W. Mill hisker home, at 3545 Locust Avenue was damaged to lesser extent.
 Located less than a block from American Avenue, the well drew big crowds and caused congestion iii traffic. Squads of police and fire prevention officials were rushed to the scene to handle crowds and traf- fife and to prevent fire if possible.
 Realization that shift in the wind to the north and northwest would cause heavy damage to large number of mansions located in the Los Cerritos territory spur red oil men in the work of prepar- ing to cap the well. ",
 Officials of the Foster Company expect to turn the flow into tanks before night unless they meet un- usual difficulty in capping the well.
