WHAT ARE THE ROARING
 FORTiES?

Roaring Forties" is a popular nau. tieal term which was originally ap- piled by sailors to that par. of the North Atlantic ocean between the 4Oth and 50th degrees of latitude. This region is notorious for it's stormy weather, heavy winds and rough seas. By extension, the term is applied 10 the corresponding region in the South Atlantic, as well as in the North and south Pacific and the Indian oceans. humorously the term is also applied 10 district in New York City lying between 42nd and 18th streets be- tween 9th avenue on the east and sth avenue on the west. This par tieular neighborhood is so called from the rather hectic conditions which pre- vail there.-The Pathfinder.

released today and returned to his

The l0-year-old school child, seized
13 days ago as he returned from
school, was unharmed, except for a
bruised eye, the result of a blow
administered by one of his kid
napers.
Billy, son of A. Frank Ranieri,
wealthy Chicago contractor, had
been put out of an automobile, ii

"PARADE OF THE CENTURY"
FEATURES e. A. r. REUNION

Eready to give help the instant it
was needed.
Forty-three states were represent
ed in what Denver was pleased to
call "The Parade of the Century. y
Really it was the parade of playful
octogenarians, for the veterans have
refused, since coming here Sunday,
to be worried by business or poll
tics. The grand reunion of the grand
army has been uppermost, and moth
ing has been permitted to spoil the
holiday.
Today's parade climaxed that
holiday, and the compelling march
rhythm of the fife and drum corps
was not needed to keep the veter
ans moving. The flags they had
followed through shell-torn fields
were ahead, and they were happy to
march behind tham again.
Crowds were massed along the Ell
tire line Of march.
Tonight the famous campfire
ceremony, at which the veterans re-
pledge their friendship for each 9th.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18.-Ths
bodies of man and woman found
under the wreckage of an automobile
which plunged from the Ridge
Route over a 1000 foot cliff near
Sandberg today were identified
positively as those of Albert La
Huis, retired Michigan banker, and
his wife.
Deputy Sheriff Chester Allen,
who announced the identifications,
said every indication pointed to the
finding of the body of F. j. Walter
under the debris.
The La Huis and Walter disap-
peared August IS when they motor
ed from Bakersfield to visit oil
lands.
Allen said documents belonging to
all three were found near the demol-
] :shed automobile. He stated, how
ever, that he believed the body of
! Walter will not be recovered for
several days. 1t is believed to be
buried in q fill under the machine,
he said.
The two bodies recovered were
badly decomposed. They were re-
moved to an undertaking parlor in
San Fernando pending an inquest.
La Huis body was taken from the
wreclage last night but because Of
the darkness and the ruggedness of
the surroundings deputy sheriffs
waited until this morning to return
for Mrs. La Huis remains.
A preliminary investigation indi-
Gated that the trio had been car
ried off the highway and over the
cliff when their machine missed Il
turn.
Construction work on the Ridge
