Movement on Foot for

Washington, although now a city Of
contrasting good and bad in its phys
ical aspects. is destined to be the out
standing beautiful city of the nation,
says the American Architect magazine,
which tells of the campaign. Motion
picture films illustrating the develop
ment of the Capital are being shown
before high schools, colleges, cham
bers of commerce, womens clubs and
other bodies as an important feature
of the campaign.
"The seriousness of the architectural
situation in America lies in the fact
that the percentage Of new buildings

DEVELOPMENT Take. Time

The man who undertakes to de-
velop an industrial subdivision must
not look for his reward to come over
night. Such huge undertaking would
be considered to have made phenom-
enally rapid strides if it reaches a
producing basis within five-year peri
cd and some highly successful develop
ments have required more than twenty
years to reach their maturity.
Land to be suitable for development
as an industrial subdivision must have
elbow room and initial low value, but
it must be accessible to a railroad
right-of-way, preferably a belt line. 1t
must be accessible to main highways,
to power lines, gas mains and tele-
phone trunk lines, and it must be ac-
cessible to growing community which
can furnish ample and dependable
labor supply.

Crosby Todd was the first to rise.
He looked with establishment ut the

tude he forgot that lexington must
have opened the door and been in
communication with the enemy; this
was soon to seem very suspicious
action.
At the same time, in the after part
of the ship Metzger and Pereira faced
one another. They had fallen asleep
after hours Of splendid planning. They
had decided with enthusiasm to STAY
the doctor, the wireless operator and
Bob Unwin as soon as morning came.
The morning came too soon: they
had been scarcely two hours asleep
when Kenzie awoke them. Already
they were paying the penalty Of the
reckless mixing Of drinks. Kenzle
brought an enormous pot Of coffee;
he wanted to talk business. whats
going to be done2" he asked.

He saw that Mary shivered at the
mention of Sam. The thought Of him
had given her nightmare terrors.
"What reason did they give?" Todd
asked He was still convinced that
there was an effort to dupe him.

Bettington turned to Mary and
smiled. He had been able, after all,
to do something for Tubby Unwin's
girl. Not again would Sam menace
her.
"Sam is dead" he told her. "Metz-
ger is in command and swore to get
help and have me killed. That's why
had to burst in here" There was
something a little wistful in his tone.

"You don't doubt my welcome,

He looked into her eyes with some

had ever so grievous prospect ahead
of him. Her friendship heartened
him.

The sight stirred Crosby Todd to

CHAPTER x
Slivers to the Rescue

OF all those who made up the crew
of the Albatross, none had been so
thrilled with the days happenings as
Slivers. He possessed a boys appe-
tite for adventure. Hrs earliest am
billions were directed toward a career
of piracy, and in this, his fifth voyage,
they seemed about to be realized.
Slivers had seen men die. He had
crept on deck and looked, fascinated,
at Sam, whose red face was white at
last, and whose stubborn neck was
bent at horrifying angle. But Sliv-
ers had his doubts as to the final out
come of the struggle. OF all these
men of blood and violence, he es-
teemed the prowess of the tall doctor
most highly. Anyone who could have
killed Sam with his bare hands.
"He,' said Slivers, thinking it over,
"he's the guy for my money!
II the amazing doctor should sally
forth and overwhelm the rest, where
exactly would Augustus Condor stand?
That was Slivers' problem. Pirates,
he had read, invariably met their doom
swinging from yard-arm over yawn-
ing black waters.
Slivers stole quietly from the door
of Metzger's room and came stealthily
to the one which had been so recently
assaulted. Just the other side Bet
tington was trying to snatch some
sleep; continuous tapping awoke him.
Listening intently, he could hear his
name spoken in a shrill treble. He
threw the door open, pistol in hand,
and saw Slivers.
"Ain't got nuthin' to eat, have yer?"
Slivers demanded.
NO." Bettington whispered.
"Ill get some." said the boy jaunt-
lily. Cooks in with the chief, talkin'
about the skirts. Crazy about 'em.
The rest is soused. They'll never
get me-"
He brought ham already cooked,
an Eden cheese and quantities of
canned fruit and milk.
"Slivers," said Bettington, when he
saw the loot, whats the idea of help
ing us like this? What do you expect
to get for it?'
The yard-arm, with its dangling
victim, required. He was inspired
with sudden cunning.
IF they knew, they'd kill me-" he
whispered. He cast about for word.
"Tm a neutral" said Slivers.
you're the best little neutral I ever
knew" Bettington said heartily, as he
looked at the provender. "Where are
you going now?" He had some idea
of adding the boy to his company.
Back to hear what they're saying"
He shook his head wisely. "I1l come
around agen tomorrer night"

Chance to Make Small
Home Thing of Beauty


A sense Of the wOrdless poetry and
soundless music of the small home Is
1awning on the consciousness of the
American people.
Such, at least, is the impression Of
Secretary Wilbur after examining the
reports of the better-homes movement
for the past year. But the improve
ment still has far to go, as is shown
by the most cursory examination Of
the prevalent types Of small house
architecture In American cities and
towns.
Much of the architectural ugliness
is due to the perverted tastes Of the
past two or three generations, the
Washington Star comments. The pres
ent generation may be indicted justly
for its constituencies destruction of
natural beauty in building operations.
but it certainly cannot be blamed for
such monstrosities as the "three-deck-
err" of New England cities or the box
like structures of southern and west
ern towns.
The small home is the lyric of arch
itecture-a medium through which the
artist can express almost the whole
range of human emotions and reach
the heights of artistic expression. He
can incorporate into its lines loves, as
plrations and memories. He can put
into it the intangible substance OF
hymns, ballads, childhood prayers and
lullabies.

To Turn States Evidence ?"

States evidence. is the evidence pro-
duced by the government in criminal
prosecution. The term also applies
to person who gives such evidence.
When a person implicated in a crime
voluntarily confesses his share and
gives testimony that will incriminate
his accomplices he is said to turn
states evidence" namely, he becomes
a witness for the state. In such cases
there is generally an express or inn
piled promise on the part of the au-
thorities that they will not prosecute
the witness who thus testifies, or that
he will at least be dealt with leniently.
Prosecutors do not usually promise
such immunity unless there is insuffi-
cient evidence to convict the defend
ant without the testimony In question.

Owning and Renting

No doubt many conservatives and
far-sighted persons, men and women,
have asked themselves whether it pays
to own a home, but have never made
any real serious effort to find out If
they could. There is only one way of
looking at this matter in the right
light: those that don't own their homes
must pay rent and the rent must in
variably be paid promptly. A person
having good health and fair pros
pect OF steady employment, assumes
no more responsibility of risk in buy.

The date palm tree is sacred

been to the Egyptian fellahs and to
the nomads of Africa the tree of life
and the tree Of death. Its dates are
SO nourishing that with frugal races
they are a principal article of food.
Upon its transparent bark was writ
