Bobbie. .
Or: ''You can't get rid Of me,
honey. I'm going to stick around

But no matter how he said the
thing, Bobhie had always felt that
1t was true. She had felt some
thing in him that was dependable
and firm ais a rock. She knew that
she had only to reach out her hand
for him when she needed him.
And that sunny October morn

She needed him for comfort in the
sudden loneliness that had come
over her. She held on to him with
both hands as il she would never

Life Less Colorful

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.- Life today with all it's complexi- ties and "sophistication" is less colorful than that of the period from 1840 to 1870 declares Con- stance Mayfield Rourke who is doing research work on the Pa cific Coast.
 The author of ''Trumpets of Jubilee," encompassing in a single volume mid-century DOT traits of personages ranging from Henry Ward and the other Beech CTS to P. T. Barnum says Amer ica reached high peak in the Civil War period. It then climb ed in men and deeds, she says, to a position not oyershadowed by the present era despite the World War and other history-making events.
 The lasting achievements of that era she believes is illustra- ted by the hold that Uncle Toms Cabin" still has on readers old and young.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-If and when war is fought at the North Pole or in another Arc ic cline the United States will be ready.
 It has the Third Infantry, all equipped and trained in the use of skis. snow shoes. toboggans and the like, and thoroughly hardened to the rigors, not only of war, but of winter sports.
 The Third Infantry is stationed at Fort Smelling. Minnesota. In Minnesota. tho winters come ear ly and stay late. Finding that ordinary army drill was inprac- ticable in January and February of each year, and that the men needed outdoor work, the officer. carried out the idea of encourag ing winter sports. The result has been to give the United States Army its own unit of Alpine Chasseurs.'
 The regiment has gone into such detail in it's winter training, which will be renewed within the next month or so, that complete rc- galations have been drawn up GOV ering drill tactics, nlaneuveriny and marching with winter equip ment. It had advanced so far last year that a review of the entire regiment, on skis and snow shoes, was possible, the machine gun companies drawing thsir weapons on toboggans.
