BUS ROUTE CONTEST
Connecticut Company and New Ha. ven FirQ Each Want Ldne to Mill

Connecticut Company and New Ha.
 ven Firp Each Want Idne to Mill
 Rock.
 Hartford, Feb. 16 R-A contest between the Connecticut company and the Orange Street Bus Line company of New Haven is expected Friday in a double petition hearing before the public utilities commits sion at the state capitol, for per- mission to operate busses from the New Haven Green to Mill Rock.
 The hearing will be at 10:30 a. m. tomorrow.
 The Connecticut company has pe- titioned for the right to run busses from Temple and Chapel streets over a route of two and three-eights miles to the end of Prospect street, near the Hamden town line.
 The Orange street company peti- tions for practically the same route.
 Fares proposed in the original Connecticut company petition are understood to be slightly higher than those asked by its opponent. Both companies will fight for the award. The territory affected has never been served by trolley or bus and agitation by residents has been pro- longed.

Alderman Judd offered the only other comment, saying: "Ie the pur- pose of this resolution is to rake up muck for political uses, am op- posed to it. If there Is any evidence of irregularity or graft. then let's have it, and I don't care where 1t strikes"
 The Sablotsky resolution was passed by unanimous vote.
 Councilman Gibney's resolution provides for a committee of three to make a survey of streets, listing those in need of repair, and to in- ventory the tools and equipment of the department.
 This is not an investigation in strict sense, but desire to improve conditions in that department and feel two heads are better than one." Gibney said in explanation.

REED.SMI7H FIGHT ANN0YS DEMOCRATS
Bids to Rank With Hoover.
 Willis in (. 0. P. Party

Washington, Feb. 16 UP) - A Reed Smith contest is promising to develop in democratic ranks along with the Hoover-Willis war now progressing among republicans.
 Sen. James A. Reed of Missouri will leave tomorrow night on a speaking tour which will carry him into the south and middle west and may take him to the Pacific coast, the United Press learned today. The stump trip is counted upon by Reeds friends to throw him into an active fight to get the demo- cratic presidential nomination against Gov. Al Smith of New York.
 Reed will speak at Dallas. Texas. next Monday and at Tulsa, Okla.. Tuesday. He will then go to Kansas City for another speaking engage ment where the remainder of his tour will be arranged.
 Reeds friends planned to put him in the primary race in many states where they think he has a good chance to get delegates. They have abandoned the old policy of passive campaigning which first was followed in belief that it would be best to hold back until after Smith had run in the Houston convention.
 The southern trip is being under taken following q movement among southern congressional delegations here to get Reed named as second choice to their various favorite sons. This step is designed to prevent delegations from being influenced to go to smith after the early fla vorite son balloting is abandoned.
 Bitterness in the Hoover-Willis battle was manifest again today with publication of correspondence between Sen. Willis of Ohio and Maurice Maschke. republican na- tional committeeman, who switched from support ot Willis to Herbert Hoover.
 Willis made threat in a letter to Maschke that he would. as sena- tor, see that Maschke got no more patronage of privileges which arise ordinarily from harmony between a senator and national committee man. The senator attributed the pro-Hoover opposition to him in Ohio to his (Willis') strong dry views. He pledged himself to work for a bone dry plank in the repub- lican platform.
 Willis statements were made in answer to Mdschke's letter stating Maschke considered endorsement. of Hoover imperative to party sue cess in Ohio. Republicans of his district are demanding Hoover and their wishes could not be ignored, Marschke stated.

PRIVATE WAREHOUSES
 FOR BOOZE ARE BANNED
CneNlected and Drastic Order Ar fccting Vancouver Issued
 from Ottawa.

Vancouver, E. C.. Feb. 16 (R - Abolition of private liquor ware houses in Vancouver and with them. perhaps, the export liquor trade is forecast by an unexpected order from the minister of customs at Ottawa.
 The order rules that private warehouses must not receive liquor after February 29. and that sup plies now in storage must be moved by June 30.
 It has been reported that the Dominion government is planning to develop legislation to the point where only the provincial govern ment liquor control boards will be able to import liquor. so restrictions of some are expected. The action of the minister of customs how ever. came as a complete surprise to exporters here.
 If liquor exporters abandoned the port of Vancouver it is said they may establish warehouses in Tahiti or adopt the practice Of discharg- ing at sea.
 The popularity of the beer parlors has been a major factor in nabling the provincial liquor board to abolish its secret service system, which cost the province s3oo.44s in four years ending September, 1927. Col. D. McGugan. an official of the board, today told the public accounts committee of the legisla- ture at Victoria.
 Colonel McGugan credited much Of the improvement in law ob. servance to the abolition of many export liquor warehouses. He con- sidered that enforcement by the provincial police as now practiced, was "very successful"

MACMILLAN ERECTS PALACE IN NORTH LABRADOR WILDS
Continued from First Page)

without the arrival of at least one dog team. From the natives our scientists are learning much about the bird and animal life: much that is contradictory to information given out by our best authorities.
 We have found sites of many old Eskimo villages which have never been eXcavated, also ruins of the so- called Tunit race. Just who they were no one as yet knows. Possibly thos race is confused with the Norsemen who we have every req son to believe visited this coast about 900 years ago. Having studied their houses in Greenland in 1925-c6 we have good knowledge of what we are prepared to find here in Labra- dor. The ruins found thus far are certainly not Eskimo.
 Further work will be done when navigation opens in June, when we are planning to cruise north along the Labrador coast and on 10 Batfin Land to continue our work begun there in 1921 and 1922, when we wintered in Fox Channel and ex- plored the western coast of Baffin Land, and also continue work start ed on the east coast of Baffin Land in 1926-27.
 Have Motor Car Our motor car. the first to be seen on this coast. left yesterday on & 100-mile trip to carry our small power boat over the sea ice to the outer islands where it is our present plan to hunt wairus in March. The snowmobile is a sensation wherever it goes. Eskimos and Indians gather around it in wonder and examine every part of it. During the last 19 years we have brought to the Eski- mos of Greenland and Labrador the electric light, the telephone, the mo- ton picture, the radio, the atrplane, the motorboat and now the motor car. Night after night they listen to broadcasts from New York, Boston, Chicago and dozens of other places. Two years ago we supplied radio
 
 Last year wc installed radio sets in the homes of the Morayian mission aries here at Main and Hopedale. Now they listen in nightly to broad casts from their homes in Germany and England. You can imagine how much they appreciate what the Americans have done for them,
 Doctor of Aid
 Our physician and surgeon. Dr. E. K. I.angford of Chicago. is of great help on a coast where there is not a single doctor for 200 miles. He has left today by dog team to at tend a broken leg 30 miles south.
 Work is becoming more interest ing every day. When the time comes for leaving for home in September it will only be to prepare for our return in 1929.

READ THIS FIRST:


 Jill Justin, ultra-modern and as lambently lovely at 20 as the Saga lily, starts out on q moon-lit night in August, accompanied by her brother Tony, to attend harvest festival.
 The two run into an automobile ilold-up. Jill is Kidnapped by bandits. who carry her into the hills, from where she is rescued by Jack stuart. who takes her home.
 It is the old story retold. Jack stays for a visit and remains to wed the lovely Jill. The passing of two years finds them the proud and happy parents of twin boys and a girl
 Now transpires an event destined to bring about radical changes in the lives of these people. Wandering through the hills back of the Jus lin home. Stuart stumbles onto an old abandoned silver mine. He also discovers what he believes to be oil- bearing rock.
 It is Tony, however in the fol- lowing April, who brings i'll the big news. He is inveigled into the hills by a pretty girl, who tells him her rame is Mary, but that she Is call cd Mike." Mary, who is called Mike" is driving costly roadster, and she asks Tony to guide her to a place in the hills known as The Devils Luck. Here she takes the lead and pilots him.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER Tx
 She seemed actually to be pos sessed with a mad desire to goad, or tempt this elementary incarna- ton she admitted held such an at fraction for her Tony studied her furtively. puzzled by her talk and manner. He wondered how she would act if by some chance, her challenge to Fate, or Luck. or what ever have you, were put suddenly to the test. Did she possess real nerve : Or was she just buffer, poser, 3 false alarm: We'll. he would give her plenty of rope. anyway.
 The passage between the rock formations that had been designat- ed by Tony as The Devils Leap. The Devils Luck and The Devil 3 Lodge. constituted a marrow gorge cut, presumably, during the glacial period. Along the bottom trickled a shallow stream, flanked on each side by narrow strips of sandstone and slate worn smooth by the waters of centuries.
 They were about half way through this gorge when Tony sud- denly halted and lifted his voice in raucous "Yahoo." From all sides, above, behind. and ahead, came the ochoing responses 'yahoo hoo hoo- hoo-oo-o-' trailing out to faint indefinite murmur.
 That's tn Devil laughing at us,' he said. looking at his companion for some sign of fright and failing to note even surprise. She merely shook her bobbed head.
 Ut may be your Devil" she re- torted. with a good-natured grin, but not mine. My devil would never give utterance to such cats meow as that! When you hear him laugh youll hear some snort.'
 T expect I will,' said Tony, and resumed the march, Mike following few feet behind, single file like Indians on the trail
 They rounded the mass of rocks tt the top of the gorge, the Devils s l.odge. he informed her. The girl stepped past him and disappeared behind a wall of solid stone. A mo- tnent later he heard her call.
