Born of aristocratic parents, he
early entered politics, occupying the

body was based upon birth rather
than election. Svinhufvud's education
was that of the upper class Finn. He
attended the university at Helsingfors,
where he studied philosophy and law.

call Americans boom policy" That
is, the American characteristic habit of
depending upon optimistic SallieS to
cure business or banking errors and
faults of overproduction or other eco

Boom Policy Criticized.
IF there is one disturbing element
in the American mentality and atti-
tude of many of your leaders," said one
veteran Frenchman, who was finishing
his fourth visit to the United States, sit
Is their boom policy. To us it seems you
cannot cure unsound business prac-
tees or mistakes in finance merely by
psychological gesture. Sudden an
nouncements of actions which give the
market short rise appear to us arti-
hcial, perhaps dangerous, but the
American people are prone to put faith
In such tactics. We do not think you
can erase the faults of one boom by
another. We feel that STOW, steady COR
rectlcn Is what will restore sound
business.
If the United States is to re-estab-
lish her national economy on enduring,
progressive lines, it will commence on
that day when the Americans boom
policy is definitely renounced.'
This may be said to be extremely
representative of French opinion of
the contrast between French and
American habits of thought and action
in a crisis. But it is also true that
these French observers returned home
convinced that new sense of realities
was spreading Throughout the United
States. and they hail this as one of
the chief reasons to believe that
America is turning the corner. Lavals
trip seems to have instilled in the Wis

Americas problems and increased their
faith in our brains, courage and COM
fidence to play an important role in
recreating world stability. As such this

European doubts about our future had

But with the return of Laval's party
the inquiring American reporter found
a majority of its members praising
the early success of President Hoover's
credit plan, remarking upon the vigor
and youthfulness of the American
people as they confront realities, and
some saying they believed the peak
of the American depression had passed.
There were many signs of business

had followed his awakening when

Jeems shook his head.

Jeems shook his head.
"He would have come to us. He
is dead"
His voice possessed the unemo-
tional certainty with which she
had referred to her father and
HelOise. There was no pOSsibil-
ity of his uncle being alive. He
repeated that belief, and added
that their salvation was little
short of a miracle. But now, he
thought, their way would be clear
to friends farther down the river.
The Indians could not have gone
many miles in that direction, for
evidently they were hurrying back
before Baron Dieskau learned of
their presence in the French coun-
try and set out forces TO cut them
off. 1t did not occur to Jeems
that the baron and his men might
have been defeated, as was true
in that very hour.
He produced apples and a pair
of purple-tOpped turnips from the
provision pouch which he wore at
his belt, and they ate these as
they waited. Meanwhile, he told

Course of Gulf Stream

The Gulf stream issues between
the coasts of Florida and Cuba and
flows to the north along the North
American coast as far north as
latitude 40 degrees and west longi-
tude so degrees, widening some
what as it tends to the north. At
about al degrees north it impinges
on the southerly flowing Labrador
stream. The Gulf streams main

her what they must do. They
would be forced to spend a night
In the woods, but he was sure he
could make a comfortable place
for her.
He walked ahead instead of at
her side when they began their
journey. Jeems carried an arrow
fixed TO the string of his bow,
and suddenly a twig caught it and
ii slipped from his fingers and fell
To the ground. He was STOPPING to
recover it when terrified scream
from Toinette brought him erect.
Not more than eight or ten PAGES
from them stood a painted and
half-nakcd savage whose intention
had beep to make his way toward
the abandoned house. He was an
appalling figure, and during the few
seconds In which they faced each
other Jeems recognized in him the
white-skinned scalp hunter he and
Toinette had seen with the Mo-
hawks. At this discovery there
shot through him a flash of relief,
but a second glance showed him q
fiend more dangerous than an In
dian, one of the mercileSs butch
ers who hunted human hair for
the price his own people had set
upon it. A blue-eyed Indian! How
often had he heard his uncle curse
their breed! Beasts more cruel
than tigers, demons set loose and
paid by English money until their
sport as well as their livelihood be-
came an orgy of ambush, murder,
rape and fire! Here was one of
them. The man was creased and
painted, but he was white. His
warlock was light and his eyes were
small and blue. He carried a gun,
knife, and a hatchet, and at his
belt was a wOman's hair, and with
it another scalp that must have
been taken from the head of
child.
So quickly did Jeems see these
things that the echoes of Toinette's
scream had scarcely died away be-
fore their meaning pressed itself
upon him. The savage possessed
moment of advantage, and as
Jeems made a movement to whip
an arrow from his quiver, the scalp
hunter swung his gun to fire. See
ing the uselessness of his position,
Jeems sprang forward and hurled
his useless bow at his enemy. This
and the impact of his body came at
an instant when the other let the
hammer of his flintlock fall, and
with the explosion of the gun the
lead from its barrel flew wild. The
scalp hunter had seen only & boy
and a girl, and a vision of easy
victims had leapt to his mind. Now
he found upon him an antagonist
of unexpected strength and fe-
rocity. In the first few seconds Of
the fray, neither had chance to
draw knife or tomahawk, and with
all the pent-up madness of his body
and brain Jeems struck at his en-
emy and clutched his slippery
throat as they crashed to earth
together. For a space TOinette's
horror-filled eyes could scarcely tell
which was one and which the
! other; and Odd, snarling white
fanged at their heels, was unable
to become a partner in the con-
f1ict. Then, with a powerful ef-
fort, the scalp hunter freed himself
and sprang to his feet, drawing his
tomahawk in the act. AS he pre-
pared to use his weapon, Odd
vaulted for his throat, and the
blunt end of the hatchet met him
in midair, striking with such force
upon his head that he fell a linn
and inert mass to the ground.

Little Balm for Losers
The reason for yesterdays
sharp break in stocks is not hard
to understand. For, if the mar.
ket found it difficult to negotiate
any headway when individual
commodities such as wheat
doomed the other day, then GER
tainly when wheat, cotton. copper,
silver and other commodities were
reactionary the incentive to push
forward was lacking.
However, explaining the mar

stockholders who have patiently

will end.
