UNITED STATES
 PRESIDENTS NOT EASY TASK

Indianapolis. = Guarding United States Presidents is no easy task, and one of the reasons is that some of the chief executives elude their escorts.
 So states Thomas E. Halls, chief of the Indianapolis district who after 65 years in the secret service will retire next month, at the aen of 82. The Captain was body guar3 te six Presi- dents.
 President Wilson was wholly indif- ferent as to shis safety Roosevelt scoffed -at danger, and frequently eluded his guard for the pleasure of being alone. On one occasion his body guard, after a frantic search, found him walking unattended through Washington tenement dis trict.
 Harrison, Cleveland, Mckinley and Taft were the other Presidents whom Halls served as body guard. Taft was the easiest of the six to guard be- cause he followed routes mapped out by the secret service and schedules of public appearance. Mckinley, like Wilson, was indifferent to danger, while Harrison and Cleveland some times chafed under the constant at tendance of secret serYjce operatives.
 Because of illness Halls was unable to make the trip to Buffalo with the Presidential party on the fateful oc- casion when McKinleE was shot to death by Czolgosz. C2olgosz was in a queue of visitors shaking hands with the President, and as t came his turn to greet. MeKinley, fired from a pistol hidden in a kerchief bound around his hand
 Had I been there l believe my pre- cautions would have aYerted the trag- edy," Halls reminesced. He explained that instead of one guard at the Pres ident's elbow there should have been two, one on either side.
 As it was, the assassin, screened by large man in front of him, was abreast of the President before he came under the eyes of the operative standing on Mckinley's left. A guard to the right would have seen the hand kerchief wrapped hand before Czol- gosz was near Mckinley, Halls said
 Always during his years as guard,

Halls watched for persons with ban daged hands, or others carrying any thing in their hands. Suspicious per sons were searched without their knowledge. An operative would brush against them and run his hands swift ly over their pockets.
 Once in Kokomo, Ind, Taft was en- tering the speakers stand when a man broke through the crowd and rushed toward the President Halls dove at his legs, and with football tackle carried him off the platform. Both tumbled on the ground. It de veloped that the man was personal friend of Taft.
 Halls became memoer of the se- eret service in 1861, and with the ex- ception of term as United States marshal in Illinois has been continu- ously in the work. After joining the Union army at IT he was assigned to secret service operation because of his youthful appearance.

 Hybridization work with barley and oats has developed varieties superior to those formerly grown. Hybrid wheats obtained by crossing Siberian No. 1, the earliest wheat so far dis covered, with vigorous varieties are expected to be better yielders than the Siberian parent and almost as early.

 With the exception of Boston, New York and Philadelphia, no appeal has been made to the adult population. It has been essentially children's af- fair, and it is the desire of the Navy Department to ultimately offer each child in the nation the opportunity to do it's bit in saving this historic trea- sure.

A resident of theIditarod district recently paid an airplane company seven hundred dollars for transporta- ton for himself and wife between Flat and Fairbanks, from which lat ter place they came to Anchorage by rail, at cost of nearly another hun dred dollars, and two days additional time. Which is just reminder of the opportunity Anchorage is over looking in not having direct air com mmication with points in the In terior. Those residents of remote in- terror districts who desire to come to Anchorage and who are willing to pay for aerial transportation, shoult not be compelled to make the journey by a circuitous and time-eonsuming route.-Anchorage Times.

her soft, yielding body in his arms
his face against her cheek.
And he now bit his lips-the print

CHAPTER CXVIII

He stood at the kitchen door, his
back to Judith.
Judith noticed the slump of his
shoulders; the lighted cigaret that
he f1icked but didn't smoke.
She noticed the white hydrangeas
that in one moonlight had bloomed
with such mysterious, arresting
beauty-bloomed behind two figures
clasped joyously in each others
arms.
The hydrangeas looked dusty in
the uplight-dusty against the blue
walls of the kitchen porch. Such a
color to paint kitchen porch, J.u-

Then Douglas came with pitiful
little boy trustfulness to Judith.
What did ne tell you. Jude? We
can save her? She's much brighter.
She's better"
And 1t was like this for a week.
Judith came so often and found
him sitting at Sandy's bed-sitting
there, holding her hand-or some
times kissing her hand--pity and
love in his eyes-love and pity in
his voice
He followed Judith to the kitchen.
"She's better today, Jude"
81 thought so, Douglas. She
seemed better today"
Then he sat down and leaned his
chin on his fists. And again all
those distorted images went through
his mind. Another one followed
these-the image of Emma. Emma
had a way now of following him
about-a way of coming up abruptly
and searching his face. OF saying
to him: my boy-oh, my lad-don t
be crushed-yoN must be yourself
again"
He laughed at Emma. He was not

be, of course-let her give him a

How did all this come to her?"
