, = watched those men with the black
h p? They learned, as robbers have
"a of learning such things, that the
hlan had taken those bonds home that
afternoon, and one of them had prob.
ably been watching the house to see
II the family left 1t.
At that moment Roy's attention was
attracted, and he nearly reeled from
his seat Right In front Of the depot
he was again hailed by two men, one
carrying black bag.
Roy's heart began to pound with
paralyzlng force, then 1t dragged with
fear of their recognizing him. He
pulled his cap far down over his eyes
and bent his face over the steering
gear as the fare was dropped into the
box. When the door was closed on
them as passengers he sent the bus
forward with more speed than usual
and avoided seeing any other persons
who hailed him.
In the neighborhood of his service
station he left his route in the hope
of seeing Donegan, but that individual
had gone into the Office for drink of
water. Roy had to begin circllng the
block the second time, then he
glimpsed the man peering out of the
window and pressing the buzzer.
Roy jammed his brakes and shot
the bus across the street with terrific
speed. Then he made a dangerous
skldding circle, winding and twisting
his wheel as II trying to get control
Of 1t.
Let us out, you d-n fool" bel
lowed the man with the bag, sprlnglng
from his seat, followed by his compan-
ion. Roy paid no attention to any
thing except the bus until he saw Don
egan coming toward him on the run,
then he plunged straight across the
street with a mighty grinding of
brakes and lunged against the curb.

away with your"
"No, arrest those men," he COM
manded, throwing open the door OF
the bus.
Three hands started for hip jockets,
but Donegan's was the quickest.
"What's the charge, kidf" he asked
taking the step with leveled gun COW
ering the two passengers.
"Get this bag and let's have look
into It," replied Roy.
"Pass over the bag" ordered Don
egan.
The man carrying 1t handed 1t ia
Roy, and when he snapped 1t open
the first thing that met his eyes was
package of negotiable bonds.
"Take the handouts from my pocket
and clamp them on those blrds,p Don
egan ordered.
Roy obeyed without word, but his
face beamed as he turned and saw
Ella standing close to the step Of tbs
bus.
IT was afraid to breathe when

"That little skid gets me that thou

Spanish Girls Dance
to Oriental Melodies

Two things one must witness while
In Seville tie Sevlllana ind q bull
fight. Girls of all classes dance the
SeviIana-ln fact, during the spring
festival or fiesta, girls Of the exclu-
sive classes and families take this
means and opportunity Of displaying
their charms, und being properly
chaperoned by approved grand danes,
dance the Sevlllana In the little open
drawing rooms called casetas which
line the streets like booths along a
midway.
This graceful dance, dlgnlfled even
In Its coquetry, Is accompanied by the
click of the castanets. The dance, like
most others in Andalusia, is an ex.
preston OF an intermlxed race, and
naturally follows In Its music all the
original melody brought into Anda-
lusla by thS Moor and the Jew. The
unmstakable mark left by these races
Is distinctly recognized In these
dances of Andalusia. Spain and Cas-
tile, triumphant since the time of
Ferdinand and Isabella, cannot efface
Islam and the Orient. The castanet
is of gypsy origin and probably halls
from the regions around the Black
sea. To watch the Sevillana Is a
privileged experience, stepped as II Is
with the charm and romantic history
of an interesting people-Regina L.

Fermentation of Man
Attributed to Diet

More than one investigator holds
the view that the fermentation of the
races is due to feeding. 1t is o.nted
out that In the animal world color Is
often determined by food, and Il is
contended that by chemical process
the same results are shown In the diff
ferent human races. According to
this theory, then, the original man
was black, since his chief diet must
have been vegetarian. Fruit and vege-
tables contain manganates that ally
themselves with iron, constituting "a
dark brown combination" 1t is said
that negroes who add meat and milk
to their vegetables are never as dark
as those negroes who eat only vege-
tables.
Indians are red, 1t appears, because
they have absorbed for generations
hemoglobin, the red substance In the
blood Of animals killed for food.
Mongols are yellow by reason of
the fact that they are descended from
dark, fruit-eating races who penetrat-
ed into the plains of Asia, became
shepherds and lived to a great extent
on milk, which contains chlorine and
has bleaching effect.
The Caucasians were another branch
who became still winter by adding salt
to their dietary. Common salt is a
strong chloride and a powerful agent
In bleaching the skin. The effect
can be seen, 1t Is declared, in the case
Of negro children who have been
reared on a white" dietary. They
are never so black as their kindred
who have not abandoned vegetarian

Dust na q Shield

The British royal commission on
mines has made some interesting ex
perlments on explosions Of mixtures
of coal dust and air. 1t has demon
strated that such mixtures are emf
nently explosive, and also that the ex'
ploslons can be mitlgated, or confined
In area; by means Of stone dust,
which Is not explosive.
A coal dust area was placed be-
tween a dustless region and one
spread with stone dust, after which
an explosion was produced In the coal
dust by firing cannon. The results
appeared to demonstrate that the eff
fects of an explosion may be trans
mltted to a considerable distance over
dustless zone by the coal dust driven
before the air blast, but that the stone
dust has restraining effect.-Wash

Structures Left by
Ohio Mound Builders

Ohio was q popular camping ground
for the mound builders. This state
probably has more mounds and ruins
of these ancient villages than any
other state. When not engaged In
warfare, mound builders would make
crude ellgles of animals or draw
rough figures on stone.
Notifications of enrthwOrks for use
In battles were often erected at the
bend of some river or stream. In this
way the mound builders could prevent
other tribes from invading their ter
ritory. Roughly made spears were the
main weapons used. Many Of these
have been found In the earthen
mounds which dot the state.
A survey of the state reveals that
there are 1899 earth mounds erected
on low ground, 176 on hills. 43 stone
mounds on low ground and 10 on hills,
These mounds have revealed many
things. Scientists digging In these
historic spots are just as liable to un.
earth the skeleton of one Of these
mound builders as he Is to find stone
pots, utensils or spear heads, says O
writer In the Ohio State Journal.

Western Kansas Town
Only a Memory Today

There was one Rome that fell and
left not even a ruin to tell Of its past
glory. In 1867 Rome was the only
town in western Kansas and its glory
was that of pioneer railroad COM
munity. The first house was a tent;
then Buffalo Bill (W. q. Cody built
a handsome stone store where he did
business for a time. Within a week
there were 500 inhabitants and soon
this number Observation-Disclosures
men, soldiers, railroad graders,
gamblers, hunters and outlaws. The
stores did a tremendous business and
saloons and gaming places were
abIaze with activity at all hours. Then
the railroad built an embankment that
cut Rome off from the fort, Hays City
began to grow under the patronage
thus thrown to its stores, and n
cholera epidemic soon drove out the
last inhabitants Of Rome. By 1870
the town was gone and today the
traveller sees nothing but sunfowers
where once was the metropolis Of
western Kansas.-Detrolt News.

Early National Ranks

The controllers Office says thai
the first national bank to open for
business under a national bank char.
ter was the First National Bank OF
Davenport, Iowa. The charter num-
Der of this bank, however, was 10.
The earliest paper on file In the con
troller's office pertaining to this bank
bears the date of May 20, 1868. The
bank was chartered on June "a, 1853
and opened for business on June 29,'
1868. The first bank to receive GER
tlficate of authority to begin business
as a national association was the
First National Bank Of Philadelphia.
This bank was given Charter No. /,
dated June 20, 1868, but did not open
for business until July II, 1868.

Groves Dictionary Of Music and
Musicians says of the word "HumOr-

ed by Schumann for his 'op. 20 and
'Op. SO, No. q the former for plano
solo, the latter for plano, violin and
vloloncello. Heller and Gregg have
also used the term for pIanoforte
pleces-'Op. ca and Opp. 8 and 10,

It Is doubtful IL the number Of
clocks In the British house of parlla

Is legend among the star employees
In this pile Of buildings that no two
totals yet have ever been made to

500 timepieces to be found there of one
description or another. When sum-

was found that clocks at Windsor
castle turned up in all sorts of I'M
expected places, and It was fully a
fortnight before the whole OF these
could be made to agree.

Altar Of roses is probably the best

perfume. 1t Is said that the finest
product is prepared at GhazlpOor In
Hlndustan. II Is also imported from
Bulgaria. Persia, Syria and Turkey.
The perfume Is extracted from rose
petals and It takes from 1870 to 200
pounds Of roses to make one ounce OF
altar. There are about 200 roses to
the pound and an acre Of land will
produce only from ten to twelve ounces

NEW DUTIES

Theodore Cogswell, World War
hero, named yesterday by President
Coolidge to succeed Corp. James
Tanner, as Register Of Wills, to-
day was sworn in and officially
took over the duties of his office.
The Presidents appointment Of
Mr., Cogswell who was first deputy
in the Registers office, where he
has been employed since 1912, was
received with approval by the legal
fraternity who have daily contact
with his office.
The incumbent, like his predeces.
sor, has been decorated numerous
times for distinguished service in
the Army. Corp. Tanner. one Of the
heroes Of the Civil War, had both
legs shot away, while CogswelI,
holder of the d. s. c. and two
other citations, was severely in
jured in the Argonne offensive by
machine gun fire.
He was made first deputy register
of wills in 1928. He married Miss
Elaine Ward, of this city, in 1924.
Mr.. and Mrs. CogsweIl reside at
1881 Cathedral Ave. N. w.
Cogswell was appointed so soon
after Corporal Tanners death be-
cause of the doubt that existed as
to the right of the office of the
register of wills to function with
out a register who is also clerk OF
the Probate Court. Cogswell is re.
garded as an expert on probate law.
Cogswell was educated In the
local elementary schools and gradu-
ated from Business High School
He is a native of this city. He was
made second vice commander of the
District of Columbia Department Of
the American Legion in 1928 and
first vice commander in 1926.
