CHAPTER LxIT

AAAA4 4LA AAAA
Sally's fear-stricken eyes swept the
dining room, going swiftly from
group TO group.
There was not q single bowl OF
cracked ice upon any Of the white
draped tables. There was not a sin
gle bottle Of ginger ale in sight
Aunt En- had given certain o-oers
concerning cracked ice and ginger
ale, and Hilda had carried them out
to the letter.
Breathing more freely, Sally spoke
to the two policemen who stood be-
side her in the wide doorway with
the curious gaze Of the diners fixed
upon them.
what Is this "a raid upon our
perfectly nice little inn ?" she asked,
and her voice sounded as iight-heart-
ca IS though her heart were not rae
ing with fright. She smiled her
softly-brilliant smile, looking straight
into the eyes of the policeman close
beside her.
And he smiled back at Sally, whip
ping his cap from his blond head as
re did II. People had a way Of an
swering that radiant young smile Of
Sally's, almost without thinking.
ave just came to have Z look
around" he said with something like
apology in his voice. "Just a little
look around"
II see," answered Sally, and walked
ont into the pantry with her srmful
OF fresh linen.
She dropped It upon the shelf
under the windows and rushed into
the kitchen to Aunt En-, who, flushed
and briTht-eyed. was frying chicken
AZ the cook stove.
Bicycle cops" Sally whispered,
catching her By the arm Bicycle
copsl Somebody must have reported
70 the police that we had liquor on
the premises"
Don't talk like a fooli" snapped
Aunt En-, indignation and alarm
flashing into her sharp eyes. 1--WE
haven't n drop Of anything here and
never did have!"
"The people who came here often
did. though" Sally began. and then
stopped short rs the door swung
open and the two policemen came
into the kitchen.
The blond, good-looking one nodded
politely at Aunt En-, and raised his
stiff-visored cap. "Just looking
around. ma'am." he said to her, as he
had said TO Sally.
"Look around all you're a mind
to-" Aunt En- raped out at him,
sticking a fork into a piece Of chicken
~viciously. Look any place you feel
like lookin'. But what right have
you 70 70 nosing around my house :
I'm sure / don't knowi" she shifted
violently.
There's some raspberry shrub
in the basement, IL it's drink you're
looking fort" she added, after a mo-
ment. Il put it up myself q couple
OF months ago, and it's about rs
harmful as milk There's some
cherry bounce, too, in the cellar way,
Take a look at that, too. IL it'll make
you feel any better," She was furi-
ously angry, and her tone showed IL,
The two men went down into the
basement without a word to her
Then they came upstairs again, and
vanished into the front part Of the
house. Sally. filling cream-jugsl
heard their heavy feet going UP the
stairs. and shot a quick look at Aunt
En-. 1T would be just like Aunt
En- 20 so racing after them, 70 try
"a stop them.
But her face was blank, as she
bent over the two big frying pans
that sizzled noisily. II was clear that

Wire Saw Stone
Age Throw-Bac

WASHINGTON. -fP= A modern
refinement Of a Stone Age method
OF fashioning rock has come into
use in the United States this year
ms the result of an experiment con
Quoted under the supervision Of the
Bureau of Mines.
The device, known rs n wire saw,
proved its utility in Pennsylvania
slate quarries By cutting large mass
es Of the rock without the necessi-
ty Of drilling, blasting and cutting.
which by old methods have resulted
in considerable waste.
DIR. Oliver B0wles, one CT the Blu
reau's experts, arranged foy the ex-
periments in cooperation with quar-
rymen attire Government engineers
had studied operation Of the wire
saw in Belgium. The saw is merely
a long steel cable, drawn at high
speed across a rock surface and fed
continuously with wet sand. The
sand acts as an abrasive and enables
the cable to sink into the rock at a
rate Of ABOUT two inches an hour.
Operation cost, the bureau asserts,
is half that of methods now gener-
ally in use. the speed OF cutting is
much greater. and the waste Of ma
terial Is much less.
Notwithstanding the thoroughly
modern aspects ~ the machine, the
bureau engineers finds its efficiency
depending upon the same phcnom-
enon which prehistoric man utilized
to make his arrow heads and tools
of stone-the effect Of abrasion
on grinding.

THE voLsTEAD ACT

Our vigilant prohibitionists
could not, of course, fail to seize
the opportunity to rebuke Cham
berlain for having taken q glass
of beer soon after touching Ger.
man soil. Such a painful con
trast to the abstemious Lind
bergb! Moreover, it was a most
ill-considered act of 'disrespect
for the Volstead act.
This is the first time that the
attempt has been made to ex-
tend the said act to Europe. BY
treaty agreements it does run,
at least to rum runners, as far as
twelve miles from our shores;
but if it is suddenly to be held
valid in Germany, following our
airplain flag as trade does, a
hop" is involved longer and
more portentous than any made
by our aviators.
Why should our airmen be
singled out for reproach? They
certainly have the privilege of
other Americans abroad to con
troll their own personal habits.
When thousands of our fellow
citizens go abroad partly for the
purpose of escaping the rigors
of American prohibition, it is a
little hard to rebuke our heroes
of the air for having flown from
evils at home to others that they
knew mot of,-N. Y. Times.
