pleted. Mechanics were fussing
about Austin Rogers motor, under
the supervision of the pilot, who was
waiting, in full readiness for the take
off.
To Natalie It was more than
ordinarily interesting, this start. With
her love of flying, this first stretch
of the race assumed formidable pro-
portions. She wondered idly what
they were doing with Jimmy's ma
chine.
The mechanics apparently had left
it in good condition. A gray-haired
individual who looked like an official
of some sort had glanced over it and
nodded, then gone on to Rogers
plane. Then one OF the Workmen
returned.
Natalie saw him climb over the
fusehge; he seemed to know what
he was doing, but she could not
understand the white paper bag he
held in his hand. He crawled for
ward. There was nothing suspicious
about his movement as he bent down,
but she had conceived the impression
that there was no reason for his
being there. Perhaps she was wrong,
perhaps she was too suspicious, she
told herself
What right had he to conclude that
when the white-haired man nodded,
work on Jimmy's plane should stop?
She took herself to task for being
too suspicious. Nevertheless when
the mechanic at last left Jimmys
plane and walked coolly and with
nonchalant unconcern across the
field. her eyes followed him. He still
carried the paper bag, she saw,
crumpled in his hand.
The man leapt over the ropes and
broke through the crowd. Natalie
stepped back to watch him, all the
while taxing herself for her foolish
ness. Then suddenly she gave a
sharp little exclamation. At least, she
could satisfy herself now.
The man had rolled UP the bag into
a tiny ball and thrown it under one
of the automobiles standing about.
Then he slipped away.
AS she hurried across the field, in
back Of the waiting cars, Natalie was
aware of murmur of anticipation.
Glancing at her wrist watch, she re-
f1ected that at any moment now the

Genlini.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
adverse until a little after noon. They
then undergo a decided change and
become stimulatingly favorable and
will react in q very stirring manner
on the emotions. Nothing out of the
ordinary should be essayed during the
morning, nor should anything that
involves change be attempted. The
policy of doing only those things that
are essential should be pursued. The
afternoon and evening are not only
good opportunity for recreation but
they augur more than usually well
for marriage. The signs Indicate that
q wedding celebrated today, while
these influences are in evidence, will
be productive Of much love and happt-
ness.
Children born tomorrow will be
more than usually subject to the vicis-
situdes OF early infancy and much
care must be exercised in the regula-
ton of their alimentation. They will.
according to the signs, quickly over
come these weaknesses and will during
their teens attain physical normalcy,
and this condition will be maintained
until adulthood. They will be fired
with ambition and will be rather
prone to disregard others in order to
achieve their ends. They will possess
great determination and a viii power
that brooks no opposition. Their love
will be of the violent. possessive type.
and they will always try to take what
they want.
II tomorrow is your birthday, you
are sensitive, retiring, sympathetic
and loving. You afford more happi-
ness than you receive and are easily
hurt by actions or words of others
even when no injury was intended.
This, of course, is induced by an eX-
cessive elf-consciousness. You under
estimate your own powers and never
attempt to capitalize your inherent
abilities. In order for you to achieve
success it is necessary for some out
slider to discover and exploit your
many talents. You never advertise
them and If they are lost in the strug-
gle your ti,nidity is alone to blame.
Although V VT friends are relatively
few, those mat you have hold you in
very high regard, as your affection,
disinteredtedness and solicitude for
the welfare and comfort of others en-
dears you to those who know you
well.

At the expensive dressmaking and

touches 1t fondly and speaks of 1t
with that grave admiration which Is
so characteristic of these diplomatic

Peter Rabbit couldn't keep away
from the Smiling Pool. He simply
had to find out more about Jerry
Muskrat's family. You see, he had
discovered a baby Muskrat swimming
around, q secret the Smiling Pool had
held for some time. At least, Peter
was sure that it was baby Muskrat,
for 1t had looked very much like Jerry
Muskrat, only much smaller.
"If there is one, there must be
more,a said Peter to himself. Il don't
believe Jerry Muskrat has only one
baby. / must see Jerry and find out. I"
So all his spare time Peter spent
over at the Smiling Pool. For a while
it seemed as if Jerry Muskrat was try
ing to keep out of Peters way. If
Peter saw him at all, it was at a dis
tance. But at last one night Just at
dusk Peter discovered Jerry Muskrat
sitting on the Big Rock. "Hi there,
Jerry Muskratr" called Peter. Hi
there, yourself, Peter Rabbit" replied
Jerry Muskrat.

Peter.

two racers would be arriving. She
hastened.
No one noticed her when she bent
under the running board of long
touring car and drew out the crum-
pied bag. She carried 1t away with her:
and then, certain that she was unob-
served behind the cars, she looked in
side.
1t was, as she had expected, empty.
Biting her lip with annoyance, she
carried 1t to her nose, and then drew
back suddenly. Her surprise reused
the sudden exclamation
Moth balls!'
What on earth had moth balls to do
with an airplane, in one war or an
other? She was stunned. 1t was like
comedy; her live suspicious, the pur
suit, and then-moth balls, She
laughed aloud, but the laugh carried
no conviction.
The next of which she was aware
was the frantic cheering of the crowds
from the point where the road from
Manhattan emerged at the flying field
Running forward, she was suddenly
halted by a hand on her arm.
STEADY, old girl-you won't be able
to talk to him, anyhow"
1t was Billy, running beside her-a
Billy who was as nervous and eX-
cited as she and who was attempting
to cover over his nervousness.
BILLY" They halted behind n thin
line at the roadway. Down the stretch
came the two cars, masked in a cloud
of furious dust, tearing on almost
nose to nose, toward the field. Even as
she spoke, the single word was torn
from her lips by the cheer of the
spectators. The two motors swept by,
Rogers slightly in the lead. AS they
passed Natalie could see Jim Bran
don's set, stern face; he was just ris-
ing from his seat and hanging on the
edge of the car, ready to leap and
dash for his airplane.
In the same moment, the furious
roar of the two powerful air motors
shattered the cheers. Natalie jerked
on Billy's arm and pulled him back
toward her. The ropes were down; the
bolder of the crowd were moving to-
ward the planes.
'Billy, what happens If you put
moth balls into plane?' It's one on
mer
Moth balls!" Billy laughed wildly.
Moth balls! He's starting, my dear
save your Mysteries till afterward."
With that, still smiling. he started
away, when suddenly he brought up
short, turning to his sister with a
white, startled face.
Moth balls"' he repeated again.
Ibid you say moth balls? What
about 'em?"
Somebody put some in Jimmy's
ship" she cried.
Good Lord" Billy stood aghast,
while from all around them cheers
resounded and out on the field pro-
pellers whirled and motors roared

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES

The Virginia State Highway Com
mission is asking for bids for the con-
struction of 1.16 miles of concrete
road beginning at the end of the con-
crete at Greenhill, just south of New
Church anG continuing south. There
is mix up in the actual amount of
money allocated for this project,
There is only $4,000 allocated for use
at New Church, the other $4,000 will
be used to complete the project at
Nelsonia.
When the bids were asked for the
Zion Church-Rue project the original
project was to end about half way be-
tween the property of Asa Bundick
and Finney Mason. Because of the
shortage of funds the State Highway
Commission reserved the right ia
build only as far as the money $685.
900 would build. This would have let
the work stop at Nelsonia. Recently
tie Highway Commission decided to
build rest of the distance and Ford
Harvey were asked if they wished to
build as far as the additional $50, 700
would go, at the same price per mile
as their bid called for. They accept
Ell the offer so the road will extend a.
bount 1000 feet north Of Nelsonia, or
about half way between Asa Bundick's
at Buzzard Hill and the home Of r.
Finney Mason.
Bids for the construction of the
road south from Greenhill at New
Church close Thursday, July 18th. II
Tie contract is let in short time after
wards and no doubt it will be, the
road should be completed and ready
for use by January 1st, next.

High frequency ferry service be-
tween Annapolis and Claiborne will
be greatly augmented with the maid
en- trip of the new commodious YES.
sci on the line July Is, according to B
F. Sherman, general manager of the
Claiborne Annapolis Ferry, Inc.
The new ferry boat will be the larg-
est in the Bay service, it is said, with
a capacity of 5000 passengers and 20
automobiles. The boat is of the doub-
lie end type, avoiding the necessity OF
turning the autos on board.
Motive power is furnished by four
Diesel engines, two of which push and
the other pull. This also forgoes sew
eral minutes delay in turning the YES
sci about at each landing. The wharves
at Claiborne and Annapolis are being
renovated to accommodate It.
The speed of the new boat is much
greater than that of the other ferries
requiring but an hour for trip that
ordinarily consumed an hour and a
half.
Several Eastonians will make the
trip from Brooklyn to Annapolis when
the steamer is ready for delivery.
