simple faith of a sailor in his ship
and himself. But he was too tired,
too exhausted. The last of his
strength had been used up in the
swim from the boat. He felt he
didn't care at all. He should have
gone with the men, to safety and
sleep.
Still, he was a Craddock-yes, a
Craddock. He laughed, and, even as
his head dropped in sleep, flash OF
the old calm light came to his eyes.

The stranged dropped to a. chair
across the table. He was about the
same height as the captain and had
the same eyes, but he wore neat
pointed beard and mustaches and bore
scar across his forehead.

explained. 1t all seemed very usual,
but he did wonder who the stranger
was. "My crew deserted. What ship
was yours?"
"Oh. the Travancore. traded to

captain frowned. "Of course, there's

Peter Craddock used to come, but In
his day they didn't use sail much, so
his advice was a little-er-out of

on the first that you need advice
most"
The captain rested his face on his
hands and said:

core. She's in the old book, isn't
she?"

 posed Law

R)-Passage by the next congress of an alien property bill providing for the re- turn of approximately s265,000. .0O0 in stocks. patents, real estate, and other holdings seized from enemy aliens when the United States enter ed the World War is deemed likely by Howard Sutherland, alien proper ty custodian.
 The sale or return of most of the property to it's owners would be completed within year after the bills passage, hs. said, while the af- fairs of his department could be would up within a few years. The government probably would have some of the rroperty on it's hands between an6 10 years. he added, as some delay would result incident to obtaining permission of the orig inal holders t, sell.
 More than 70 per cent Of the pro- perty was seized from German citi- zens.

If he doesn't speak up, however,
the fight on him will soon begin
with the outcome in some. doubt,
The worst thing that can hit him in

Airplane Taxis

In directory Of taxi planes appearing in
the Nov. 10 issue of Air Transportation. week
ly commercial aviation journal. more than so
such enterprises are listed. The prediction is
made that within six months more than a
thousand concerns in this country will be en-
gagged in taxi flying.
Air taxi fares are astonishingly low, con-
sidering the newness of this form of service.
Thus, the Muncie lnd Aerial company offers
taxi service cross-country at Is cents per mile,
to any part of the United States or Canada.
Freight is cents per mile for 100 pounds.
The Pioneer Flyers of Mason City Ia, offer
rates of Is cents per mile each way for single
passengers; 20 cents per mile for two passen-
gers.
The airplane taxicab must now be added to
the nations formidable list of transportation
services. After a while, as more and more
young men take to aviation as means Of earn
ing 2 living, and as prejudice to the hazards Of
air journeys is lessened, the rates will become
cheaper still, and the plane more popular We
hicle of travel.

Professor Seigman Of Columbia University,

Bankers have expressed the fear that the in
stallment system would lead to extravaganza
and back-breaking load of debt to be carried
by the American family. Professor Seligman' s
study, the result Of Is months of investigation
with staff of research assistants, offers evil
dence to the contrary. The Columbia profess
sors work shows the system as tending to
stabilize output, reduce production costs and
raise standards of living.
The installment plan of buying home al

venture. Then why not the furniture, the a,,-

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, Nov. 29-Millions Of
words have ben written concerning
President Coolidge's Choose" state.
ment at Rapid City and its implica.
tions. Much of this mass of litera.
ture has been mere twaddle.
This is as good time as any ia
bring the Coolidge situation up to
date. Politicians and the rest Of us
reacted in several ways to that an.
nouncement. 1t should be pointed
out that there is no proof that the
president has taken a living soul in
to his confidence and that, such
being the case, probably no living
soul to this day can speak with def
mite authority as to just what he
meant. But there is no law against
trying to reach logical conclusion
on the basis of known facts even
though, for Interior reasons, most
commentators have refused to do
so.
Those who paid any attention to
the "choose" statement at all may
be divided into these main classes:
Those who believed Coolidge
didn't want to be reelected and who
so resigned themselves.
2-Those who believed Coolidge
didn't want to be reelected, but felt
he should be drafted.
3-Those who believed Coolidge
did want to be reelected and were
glad to help the good work along.
4-Those who believed he wanted
to be reelected and who did every
thing possible to persuade the coun-
try that he didn't in the hope that
he might be shamed out Of it.
5-Thosc who believed he desired
reelection. but felt that his state
mcnt had given the party leaders
an eagerly accepted opportunity to
ditch him.
There were few who knew Mr..
Coolidge who believed that he would
strongly object to another term.
There were many who believed that
he 1oathed the idea Of having to
fight for it in the face Of sthe OPP
position that faced him despite his
chances Of success.
In other words, the oft.repeated
idea that Mr.. Coolidge cannot be
drafted is in all probability the
bunk in so far as Mr.. Coolidge is
concerned. He has not uttered sim
gle word to indicate that h would
