who had come to witness this great event-the
unwilling OF the statue which stood for freedom
the basic principle upon which the Republic
was established. Their joy was unrestrained,
and the shouting, frenzied mob forgot for a
moment the grim tragedies of war raging
throughout the land.
Immediately after the statue was securely
riveted to her pedestal a storm of criticism
again arose over her headdreSs and q bill was
introduced in Congress to have the crest of
feathers removed But the 'nondescript orna-
ment," as it was scathingly called has remained
to this day, probably because of the great ex-
pense and diffculties involved in its removal
Perhaps, too, there a sentimental reason
for leaving it it had been executed. The
statue was a true cast from the model designed
by distinguished American artist who has
been dead only a few years, and his brother
artists refused to offer any suggestion for alter
ing the design.
Time is the great peacemaker. Today the
statues position a work of art is unquestioned
beautiful-she is firmly intrenched in the hearts
OF the American people-her proportions are in
perfect harmony and symmetry with the great
dome Of the Captol-and the genius OF the
artist is now universally recognized. That which
was bone of contention a generation ago Is a
treasured possession today. Times have changed
Congressman no longer consider goddesSes in
ferior, women sit in the balls of Congress
and the solemn Statue of Freedom still stands
on her lofty tholus staring irnperturbably to-
ward the east.

Neg0 Strains May R0ut Chestnut Blight

The chestnut, almost vital to the tanning
industry, and at present hard oppressed by
the chestnut blight which threatens TO wipe
out that type Of tree In the United States may
find an understudy in the scores of varieties
which were discovered in Japan during q two
and-a -halfyear visit to the empire by r. Kent
Beattie, plant explorer of the Department of
Agriculture.
Mr.. Beattie was sent TO Japan to discover if
he could why the trees In the islands were not
being wiped out by the blight Just as they are
in this country, for the blight is present In
Japan. He found that the answer lay in the
blight-resistant strains which have developed
across the Pacific. During these two-and-a-
half years OF investigation Mr.. Beattie obtained
scions Of 80 cultivated varieties of the chestnut
and $50 bushels Of nuts OF native yarietiAR
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-14

The gathering and preserving of the nuts was
task requiring much care. The nuts after
they had been gathered were immersed in hot
water for time in order that any worms
present might be killed. They were then dried
packed in damp moss and placed in cold storage
in which condition they remained until they
were delivered to the departments experimental
farm at Glendale Md.
These scions and nuts produced about
quarter OF million seedlings, $4,000 of which
have been turned over to foreSters In nearly

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

A T 4 they sat down to the feast,
N in such felicity of soul and
body as perhaps does not come often
in a lifetime. What emotions Dan
was experiencing he managed to
conceal; whenever she looked at
him the girl met radiant smile,
but he was rather silent.
For herself, she felt almost be-
wildered by the suddenness of the
revelation. The responsibility that
she had been obliged to assume so
early, and that she never had
dropped, had evaporated mysteri-
ously now.
Beside his bigness and masculinity
she felt curiously small and young.
Never in her life had she known an
association like this one, so free
and simple and yet so surprising
and new. The friendliness, the de-
veloping sense of camaraderie we're
the most vital things she had ever
experienced.
Joyously and with appetites bred
of cold and delay and their unusual
exertions, they fell upon the meal.
1t was dark now outside the cabin,
the second night was upon them
The woods were motionless and
noiseleSS tonight, and when their
voices for moment fell the silence
all about them was utter ana en-
veloping.
Patricia glanced at the darkening
window, where the ledge of snow
showed black against the reflection
of candlelight and fire.
DO you suppose we are to be here
for week, DAMP" she asked.
GAS I figure it, he answered
brislzly, they'll find us some time
tomorrow. Your aunt will telephone
my mother and my mother will
wire"
He stopped, and the girls eyes,
rejecting the confusion and sur
prise of his own, held swift terror,
too. For a heavy knocking sounded
on the cabin door. Here in the
depth of the lonely forest the sound
seemed pr1mltlvely frightening. But
without hesitation Dan sprang to
the door.
Standing in the opening was an
old man grizzled, roughly dressed
in thick and clumsy coats and muf-
fers, booted to the hips, and smil-
ing at them with sea-blue eyes.
"HoW-do. folks" said the visitor.
And with deepening grin, he add
ed "How-do, Patrishy."
why, it's Mr.. Thurston," the
girl laughed, catching both the big
mittened hands. TITS Mr.. Thurston,
who is station agent in summer,
Dan! I've known him ever since
I was little girl We we're storm
bound, Mr.. Thuston."
"Sh'd think We was" the old man
agreed, in great satisfaction.

She prayed that she had been captured in
hope Of ransom, for then no great harm would
befall her at the hands of the Arabs But
there was the chance, the horrid chance. that
she would be taken far north and sold into the
hideous existence Of some Turkish haren. Jane
Clayton had never bent IN spiaeless terror before
danger. Until hope proved futile she would not
give up. So long as Tarzan lived there was
every reason to expect aid.

POTATO slip
SALE CHECKED
Only 1O2 Growers Allowed
To Sell in Texas

AUSTIN. May i4.--(P-Only 102
growers will be permitted to sell
sweet potato slips in Texas this
year, j. M. Del Curto. chief ento-
mologist OF the state department
of agriculture stated following the
examination of more than 400 APP
plicants. He said land of the major
ity of applicants was infested with
pests which were harmful to sweet
potatoes and which might nullify the
work of the department in attempt
ing to eliminate crop dangers.
Del Curto stated the work of Grad
seating sweet potato dangers was re-
viving interest in the crop and that
more than 5000 carloads OF the
product was produced I'm Texas dur
ing the last growing season. Esta-
blishment of pest free zones and
quarantine against the introduction
Of faulty plants has been one OF
the main objects Accomplished IN
the campaign, he said.
The establishment of free zones
also has caused other areas to start
cleanup campaigns because products
from "dirty" areas cannot find as
ready a market as those certified
by the state.
AS a result or the efforts Of the
agricultural department. Oklahoma
Arizona and Arkansas have remov-
Cd their quarantine against Texas
