GeySers in Action.

THE giant and the giantess ap-
parently have come to the conclu-
sion that things are a little quiet In
Yellowstone National Park and need
stirring up. The giantess. In particu-
lar, has been very subdued Of late, but
things are going to be differen. now.
Judging from the activities Of these two
famous geysers so far this year.
The giantess played only once during
the Summer Of 1928. but so far this
year has played twice, with q az
hour interval. The second eruption
lasted four hours. although water was
thrown up for only so minutes in any
quantity. The water was thrown be-
tween 200 and $50 feet in the air at
testing to the violence Of the eruption.
The giant also has played twice this
year, one eruption lasting for So
minutes.
Perhaps the giant has been stirred
to action by the advent Of q new
geySer, as yet unnamed, which Is
larger than the giant and has only
been exceeded once In size, the Excelsior
which played out in 1890, holding the
distinction Of being the greatest Of all.
The new geyser has been In eruption
every 10 or IL hours, even in the Win
ter. Its crater measures 80 feet by 140
feet and the tube has been measured
to depth OF "a feet, one foot greater
than that of the Excelsior.
Each eruption of four and a half
hours Is estimated to result in TOO. 900
gallons being hurled into the air.

gested.
The first page was in the swift firm
writing that looked so like him. 1t ran:

miss you and how I wish you could be
here. hope you are taking every pre-
caution-thiS is bad weather for colds,

That was all there was on the first

letter, smiled down at her.

he asked. And added teasingly, I'll

Ann the runway seemed miles long. Her
knees shook. She was conscious of misty
faces all around her. but Tommy had
advised her not to look at the people.
Just move easily, naturally" was his
parting injunction.
Easily. naturally "She has no idea
how charming she Is She has the
loveliest ears and she looks as young
Shelley must have"
Ann moved as in daZe. In that daze
she reached the end of the runway. And
there was Tommy to greet her.
Thank you," he said-just that.
"Did-was all right?" she asked.
az only hope they noticed the slip
pers," he replied.
The other trips, as he had prophesied,
came easier. Some she made in the lit
tie black evening frock: others in the
smart little ensemble with its particular
hat, or the little white jersey suit with
wrapped skirt and sport hat.
So passed the day to dinner time. She
had dinner with him at the hotel. She
had wondered about dining with him.
Perhaps his wife-but she had checked
the thought.
"Why shouldn't ~" she had demand
ed of some inner queStioner, almost de-
family. Its strictly business with him."
"Is it-strictly business with you?"
the inner queStioner persisted.
Ann, however, refused to pay any at
tention to that. He was much the incest
man she ever had met and, of course,
she liked him Who wouldn't? He was
so generous in his appreciation of what
she had done.
"Just about twice as many orders as

I dared hope for" he assured her, at
the end of the third day. How can
ever thank you enough?"-
THE show was over; already the run
way was being dismantled. Ann
herself had changed back to her own
clothes. Sensible hat, sensible shoes.
The sort of frock and coat that would
be suitable for the Office and good for
two years. The butterfly had crawled
back into its cocoon.
She was glad the show was over, glad
that Tommy Adams was going away.
She had reached that point. Cinderella
was ready to return to her hearth.
This had all been in her mind as she
had shifted from the little black evening
frock she had worn last.
II hope you inherit that" Marge had
told her-meaning that she, Marge,
would be glad to borrow 1t frequently.
Ann, however didn't want it. She
folded it carefully, left it with the other
costumes that Tommys packer would
attend to presently. The show was over.
What is he paying you for all this?"
Marge had demanded curiously.
Don't you wish you knew" Ann had
evaded.
|. Actually Tommy Adams had never
mentioned paying her anything. She
had supposed he would, sooner or later.
At the end, anyway. Now she hoped
he wouldn't. 1t would be-well, awful
to be paid.
And Ann knew why. 81 might have
known" she assured herself fiercely,
that I'd go along for years. never
thinking twice about any man-and
then make q fool of myself"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-05-05

Well, he'd never guess that, anyway.
And, of course, she must say good-by
to him, So she confronted him.
THANK me?" she repeated. "Oh, it's
been fun, truly. l.
L" began Tommy, with char
acteriStic tmpetuosity, and then
checked himself abruptly. He snatched
up his hat and coat, adding, I'm going
to drive you home"

But the words did not come. He
picked up another coat, coonskin like

But his right hand found hers and
gripped it hard.
I'm not going to let you say good

don't want me to, do you?"

Of all the conventions in the world.
She did't want him to walk out of
her life. But he must! And she must
tell him so. She lifted her head de-
tcrminedly. forced her eyes to meet his.
And tried to force her lips to say what
they should. But they rebelled, quiv-
cred briefly.
THE next instant, careless Of traffic,
his free arm went around her and drew
her to him. He kissed her swiftly, ex-
ultantly, as Ann never had been kissed

OF course, there had been no keeping

would have given her away. This was
the arrival not of single pair OF stock

And that was only the first bomb to
explode In Mrs. RandolphS presence.
When the next package arrived Ann
wished she had opened it in her room.

Ann hastily placed the silky, slinky

Marge.
This Ann ignored. Tommy Adams
was delightfully."- casual and he was ter
ribly in love with his wife. If she had
doubted that, a letter he let her read
would have proved II.
He let her read the letter, because. at
the very last moment, she had stage
fright.
This was on Wednesday. January T.
The show was beginning. The fourth.
the fifth and the sixth floors of the
hotel were given over to the display Of
sample shoes. They-Ann and Tommy
were in a room on the fourth floor
where his products-the shoes Ann was
to model-were displayed. Footgear
fit for a queen. Slippers such as Gin
derella might have worn.
Ann felt abSurdly like Cinderella her
self. Downstairs in the main ballroom
was a runway. And a million people,
more or less, waiting to see her walk
down that runway. Well, she couldn't

Not only will the towns 1900 in

Bayou Goula Cemetery will be moved
to the burying ground of Point Pleasant,

Bayou Goula is 80 miles north of
New Orleans and was the location of a
settlement as far back as 247 years ago.
~
IN beauty and natural advantages the
l. site of Bayou Goula has long been
regarded as ideal for a thriving COM
munity, but for nearly a half-century
the Mississippi River has been trying
to get the town in its NAV. Three
times has Bayou Goula been moved
back, each time new levee being
built farther in to keep off the en-
croaching waters.
But at last the Father of Waters has
won the battle. The fourth levee Is to
be constructed through what is now
Main street of the town. The towns
residents will move to various settle
ments in the vicinity and start life
over again. A few will seek to establish
new homes as close to the old town as
will be possible under the new arrange

Natural Gas Waste.

THE problem Of what to do with large
u quantities Of natural gas which
are going to waste Is troubling the
Bureau of Mines.
In many areas the gas cannot be
transported for fuel and local condi.
tons have prevented its being returned
to the oil sands to form new oil. The
result has been a tremendous waste.
The bureau is seeking some means Of
converting it into products such as
methanol, ammonia. formaldehyde and
other such things which may be
economically transported to markets.
