CHAPTER II-Continued

you'd have saved time by going
half mile higher up" commented
SelwoOd after he had heard the story.
'All the freighting outfits go there
for the rock bottom. This is all right
when it's dry enough. It's mean
place after shower. And if you don't
get that lead team out of that sand
pretty quick. you're liable not to get
them OUT at ALL"
what should you do, stranger"
asked the settler, apparently realizing
that the blackboard man knew more
than he knew about the situation.
For answer, Selwood spoke sharply
to the teamster, an overgrown boy,
who was geeing and having the pole
team with the sole effect of setting
the fore wheels Of the wagon deeper
into the sand. "Drop your lines where
you are" cried Selwood, "and get
that lead team ashore. Don't you see
the near horse is going DOWN."
Perceiving the awkwardness and
stupidity of the young fellow, Sell
wood, not waiting to see his order
executed, walked into the creek and,
followed by the settler, splashed
across to where, struggling to free
their feet, the head horses were
fioundering. Fastening to their heels,
Selwood unlocked the singletrees,
threw them over the backs of the
frightened horses, and, Shaping them
by turns smartly on the launches,
got them, splashing and struggling,
ashore. Then bidding the teamster
follow, he recrossed the creek, turned
out, hand over hand, length of
heavy chain, passed it to the team
ster to carry over, and, unlocking his
own team, walked behind them, dou-
bletree In one hand and reins in the
other, across the creek. It was the
work Of but few minutes to fasten
one end Of the chain to the tongue
of the stalled wagon and give direc-
tions to the two men as to where to
stand and what to do The settler
was put with the team still hitched
TO the wagon. From the end of the
wagon tongue the chain drawn taut
reached ashore, where, on the sandy
approach to the ford, Selwood had
hooked his own team into the chain,
aud, passing it between them, had
hooked the rescued team to the
chains end.
I With everything ready, Selwood
gave final Instructions "Now if your
king-bolt holds" he said, well yank
{ that wagon out; if it gives, you'll
have to wait till you can rig another

The Matamek River on the South
coast of Labrador is to be the base of
an expedition for the study of shelled
animals such as the oyster and the
ship worm, which has just left Wash"
ington under the auspices Of the
Smithsonian Institution. DR.. Paul

National Museum, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Bowman of George Washington
University make up the expedition.
Copley Amory of Washington has
offered the Smithsonian the use of his
camp on the Matamek River for the
expedition. The primary purpose is to
collect anatomic material of the she'll
ed animals which are common to the
coast of Labrador. Careful observa-
tions will be made of the environment
from which the specimens are taken,
that is, the salinity, temperature and
depth of the water, and the character
of the bottom.
Mr.. Bowman, who is a botanist, will
study the land and water plants. ex.

of little more than $50 years. He
reminded his auditors that these re-
suits have not been accomplished by
any magic, but have been brought
about by a supreme effort, by the
making of sacrifices that reached to
life itself and by the endurance of
long years of war and of unbending
toll through many years of peace.
Dreams and visions have played little
part in them. the President added.
According to him. the development of
Pittsburgh, like the development of
all other sections of this country, has
come from men who could face facts
and were willing to grapple with real
tiles; from men whose hands were
hardened at the plow, whose faces
were blackened at the forge, whose
bodies had been exposed to the fire
of hostile forces
These" the President said, "are
the foundations on which our country
has been built. From these founda-
ttons has come the flower of our CIV
ilization, with its guarantees of lib
erty, its enormous material resources.
its educational institutions, unfolding
into the beauties of architecture, of
sculpture, of music and of painting.
All of this has been characteristic of
the inner meaning and the triumph
of American life"

him, down to the humblest worker in
his mills. They all have their share
in this international art exhibition.
They are all reaping its benefits. Yet
we all realize that it was his leader
ship which made it possible.
"A better understanding has come
to the American people In recent years
of this method by which we are all
cooperating to work out a common
destiny. 1t has brought a great har
vest of contentment and a great in.
crease of effort and efficiency in pro-
duction. In it's light the relation be-
tween employer and employe has been
so greatly improved that much of the
old friction no longer exists. Under
new realization of their mutuality of
interests an industrial peace has come
which a short time since would have
been thought impossible.
. There are still some who sit apart
who do not see, who cannot under
stand. To them our industrial life is
the apotheosis of selfishness. They
cannot realize that the rattle Of the
reaper, the buzz of the saw, the clang
of the anvil, the roar of traffic are all
part of mighty symphony, not only
of material but of spiritual progress
Out of them the Nation is supporting
its religious institutions, endowing it's
colleges, providing its charities, fur
nishing adornments of architecture
rearing its monuments, organizing it's
orchestras and encouraging it's paint

CHANGES IN STREET
PLAN APPROVED
Commission Favors Minor
Shifts in SWart and GieS-
bor0 Road Lines.

Several changes in the local high
way plan were approved by the CO.
ordinating committee of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion at its weekly meeting today.
Swart road. which runs along the
west boundary of Rock Creek Park,
is to be changed slightly from Broad
Branch road north to Military road
in order to preserve the grade and
the course of an old road through that
section.
The line of GieSboro road will be
modified on the east side in front of
the District Home for Aged and In
firm at Blue Plains TO have this road
conform with the recent action of the
Park and Planning Commission in
acquiring a piece of land known as
Bald Eagle hill in that vicinity.
The committee approved several
changes in the line of proposed streets
in the area west of American Ul4SeR-
sity and lying between Massachusetts
avenue and Loughboro road. so that
the street plan in that section will be
better adapted to the topography and
also to make possible an extension of
Torty-ninth street from Massachusetts
avenue to Loughboro road. Maj. Carey
H. Brown, chairman of the co-ordinat-
ing committee, said Fortyninth street
will become a connection between
Western avenue and Conduit road.

proposals on the cruiser tonnage ques-

Various cablegrams from the Am

Secretaries, but there was no indica-
ton that they included any concrete
proposal from the British delegation,
although Geneva press dispatches dis
closed that compromise plan of some
sort has been put forward informally

absence of an official report in this
connection. administration authorities
refused to discuss the merits of the
new plan, which. Us pictured by press
observers, represented a compromise

mum cruiser tonnage figure of 100000
tons, with restrictions on the proper
ton for ships of the 10,000-ton treaty

officials here seemed a little more
hopeful of d successful outcome for
the conference, not only because OF
the British attitude, but also because
they felt that the original plan for
a plenary session of the conference
yesterday, at a time when the delega-
tons have all been working under
heavy strain for three weeks, was
filed with greatest danger of a
breakdown
With another day or two of rest and
reflection possible over the week end,
Washington officials were optimistic
that the critical stage will have passed
when the plenary session is convened
and that a road to negotiation of
mutually satisfactory understanding
on the cruiser dispute will then be
found.

Might Well Miss Islands.

And yet, for all that our course
was adhered to so closely, these
Hawaiian Islands are a mighty small
spot on a mighty big ocean, and it is
entirely possible that a plane might
miss the group if navigation were
not good or for some other reason
and might fly on and on into the
Pacific, unable to find land until
failing gasoline would force it to the
sea.
This possibility must be taken into
consideration by any man who tries
the transpacific hop.
After our flight we also realized
that greater study must be made of
meteorological conditions. Heretofore
we believed that if one went to
higher altitude, between 5000 and
10000 feet, one would find prevail
ing westerly winds. After our flight
we believe one will find a stronger
northeast trade wind blowing at
10000 feet than at the surface.

mechanical equipment. Gasoline mo-
