of her destination.
1t was nearly five o'clock when she
stopped at the Marshalls' gate. FL
viry opened the screen door and Ly-

Marshall was sitting by the kitchen
table, his hat on the back Of his head,
a pile Of newspapers on the floor be-
side him. He did not speak to Lydia
when she came in.
This was worse than Lydia had
thought it would be- She had not cal.
culated on Dawes being at home. At
that moment there was light step in
the dining room, and Margery came
into the kitchen. When she saw Lydia
she gasped.
Hadn't you heard? Oh, Lydia
You came anyhow" and suddenly
Margery threw herself down and
sobbed with her face in Lydia's lap.
Elviry threw her apron over her
head and Dave, with groan, dropped

there was only the cracking of the
fire in the stove and Margerys sobs
to be heard.
Then Dave said, "What did you
come for, Lydia? You only hurt your
self and you can't help us. l don't
know what to do! God! 1 don't know
what to do! l want Margery and her
mother to pack up and go away-for

tfmidly, "that what you ought to do

would follow you. Mr.. Marshall ought
to sell out everything and buy farm.
Let Mrs. Marshall go off for a visit,
II she wants to, and let Margery come
and stay with me a while and go to
college,"
Dave raised his head. THAT'S what
I'd rather do, Lydia, for myself Just

II don't see why she needs to go to

AEROPLANEs TO USE KITES
FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES

It very often happens that when an
aeroplane is disabled and has to land
it is unable to use its trailing antenna
and just at the time when it probably
needs it the worst.
In an effort to provide suitable
means for carrying an aerial aloft
from seaplanes forced down on the
water, the navy has been successful
in recent tests with a five-foot radio
kite which lifted a 500 foot aerial.
Together with Samuel F. Perkins of
Dorchester, Miss, Lieut.. A. I. Pierce
and Ensign S. V. Edwards, U. S. N,
have shown that the Perkins kite
would serve adequately for planes
forced down so that their ordinary
antennas would not function satisfae-
torily.
A four-foot Perkins kite for sea
planes use is being constructed and if
successful may be tried out on naval
planes, all of which are radio
equipped.

NEGRO HOMECOMING

An event perhaps unique in this
country was a recent monster picnic
held at Woodland, Ca, when the
white citizens were hosts to the negro
population Of the community, with an
attendance of several thousand people
of both races.
1t was planned in honor of many
negroes who, after being lured to
other sections through promise of
greater opportunities, had returned to
their native state, as we'll as to those
who remained at home.
Speeches were made by prominent
white men and negroes, who stressed
the amicable spirit which has char
acterized the two races in Talbot
county. Then the negroes were given
a big barbecue, after which field
events and baseball game in which
negroes only took part were held.
While this is an isolated instance
Of its kind, it shows that through I'M

but it is more to be commended than

CHEVROLET LANDAU
IS POPULAR WITH
AMERICAN PUBLIC

A new low price for Chevrolet's
latest and most beautiful model, the
Imperial Landau, which now lists at
only $745 f. 0. b., Flint, Mich, was
announced today by r. H. Grant, vice.
president in charge of sales of the
Chevrolet Motor Company.
This reduction was made possible
by volume production growing out Of
the tremendous demand on the part
of the public everywhere for this
"Most Beautiful Chevrolet" when it
was first introduced IN May of this
year, Mr.. Grant explained.
"Seldom has the industry seen the
warm and enthusiastic public response
that greeted the initial offering of
the Imperial Landau, which at that
time was priced at $780," Mr.. Grant
stated "The output for this model
far exceeded the production schedule.
"TEIis great volume spelled manu-
featuring economies that the public
will share in because of the lowered
price effective today. In addition to
making our newest model available to
a wider field of prospective motorists,
the reduction is further evidence of
our aim to build the best possible
popular priced car at the lowest cost
consistent with sound merchandise
ing principles
"The new low price on the Imperial
Landau gives us a complete line of
cars consisting of seven passenger
models and two commercial types
ranging in price from 1895 for the
half-ton chassis to $745 for the I'm
perial Landau"

A MODERN JONAH

Folks whose belief in the Biblical
story of Jonah and the whale has been
ridiculed by skeptics may find COM
fort and satisfaction in this story, told
in Capper's Weekly, and submitted
for what it is worth.
According to the account, one
James BARLEY, an English sailor, was
missing after the crew of his vessel
had captured large sperm whale
off Falkland Islands in February,
1891. After working a day and a night
removing the whales blubber, the
stomach was hoisted aboard showing
signs of life. Upon cutting it open
BARLEY was discovered inside uncon-
scious, but was shortly revived only
to be found a raving maniac.
He recovered his reason in about
two weeks and related his exper-
fence of having been thrown from a
boat and slipping into the whales
stomach. He said he was able to
breath, although he soon became I'M
conscious and knew nothing more I'M
til he regained his senses on board
the ship.
1t is said that Bartley's skin was
bleached to deathly whiteness by the
heat and the gastric juices of the
whale, and remained so, although he
otherwise recovered.
We merely repeat the story. Be-
1ieve it or not.

Ans.-It is sometimes difficult to

from portable device. Try connect

Sometimes merely changing the po-
