 As they neared the Connecticut shore the men bound Ceilings. beat him, and threw him overheard. They overpowered Mrs Ceilings into a canoe and padded away. leaving Barbara to drift helpless in the Penguin until another cruiser ran across the boat.
 Meanwhile they padded close to shore where the young pirate got out. The elder pirate continued padding. stopped near Center Island to dump overheard the con- tents of a duffle board. and theE attacked Mrs Ceilings.

Gulf Finds Roads

Heading South ?"-the robins and the blackbirds have been or the way for weeks-snd they need no maps.
 Roads to the south are well del fined and in excellent condition, 4 says the local manager of the Gul1 Refining company. There ard several arterial routes depending upon the starting point-on thd trip there are many interesting and historical places, some directly on the main highways, otheres jusl short drives away-well worth exI tra time to see.
 ''The Gulf company offers to mol torists touring information. road maps and services all the way from Maine to Texas. Those who del sire to maintain the uniformity ol fuel and oil may do so at Gulf stal tions wherever you go. Courtesl cards are honored by thousands ol Gulf stations throughout the soutl

As cold weather comes on, tr,

As cold weather comes on, trees grow less rapidly. During chill winter months, the growth just about comes to a standstill. Under the bark, trees will mark up an- other ring this winter. Next spring, new wood will start growing be- meath the bark of the trunk and by the winter following, another ring will be added.
 Nature has used tree trunks to store up weather records. Scientists are able to tell many things besides the age of the trees. They can learn whether certain year had summer season which was dry or wet, hot or cold.
 Rings of trees sometimes make it possible to tell in what years pests have visited the trees. A scientist in Europe studied oak trees to learn when the bettles known as "cockchafers" destroyed leaves. His report goes back more than 130 years.
 Other scientists have studied the rings of pine and spruce trees to learn in what years they were in- jured by nun-moth caterpillars.
 Insect pests, cold summers, and very dry summers tend to make trunk growth small, resulting in narrow rings.
 pr Andrew E. Douglas, who teaches at the University of Ari- zona, has made what we may call "a tree-ring almanac" which goes back 1900 years. Dr Douglas says that he has studied more than 50O,00O tree-rings. By comparing log sections with one another, he has been able to prove that rings obey laws of growth.
 For example, pine trees which grew close together between 1890 and 1900 would have rings which would be almost exactly alike-let us say all would be narrow for 1890, all thick for 1891, medium for 1892, thick for 1893, and so on.
 Dr Douglas has studied logs used by Pueblo Indians and by Cliff Jewellers who built homes in Arizona. By comparing the rings of these logs with cross-sections of trees whose age he knows. he be- lieves he has learned when the homes were built. He says that one home in Pueblo village was built in the year 919. and that a cliff dwelling in Arizona was put up in 1066.

DAILY NEWS LETTER
BY VIRGIL PINKLEY United Press Staff Correspondent

London-British country estates have been sold in greater numbers during the last ten years than any century known to this land or proud countryside traditions and fine rural life.
 This year promises to establish new all-time record for the sale of estates and castles around which so much of Britain's his tory has been written.
 Increased taxes, including earned and unearned incomes. death dut- ies, a possible land tax. and the mounting costs of maintaining large staffs have combined to make the ownership too costly for even Britain's richest and titled class.
 Move to Cities
 Owners are either moving to city flats. or spending a great majority of their time on the continent. or travelling. Many owners of coun- try homes have closed them.
 In sleepy Sussex. glorious Devon- shire. rugged Scotland. wild Wales and historic York the For Sale" sign is out.
 Estates are being broken up into small sections to be used as farms. hunting grounds. or the ha- bitates of occasional overseas ten- ants.
 Many Ads
 Every edition of leading news papers is crowded with advertise ments announcing the sale. or auction block disposal of historic homes and romantic castles. The passing of the large estates is taking much from the country life of Britain. The stage hunt. fox chase, point-to-point meetings. pheasant. grouse and partridge shoots. deer stalking. balls and glorious weekend parties have all developed from estate and coun- tryside life.
 It is to the estate that English | literature. art and fashion owes much. Lords and ladies. in fact. all of aristocracy, are associated with country life. not cities and town housea

NEW WWRK
u,iEh GiIbert Swan

days when everyone had easy money in his jeans, desserts went suddenly ritzy. l have wandered into one place after another and called plaintively for pie, only to have my appetite insulted by some soggy looking mess for which I had to pay from two-bits up.
 You know the sort of pie I mean: that undernourished vari- ety with the uppercrust caved in at the chest and leaning on the undercrust for support.
 But wandering along the streets these days, you'll see the side street restaurants and the front street cafes fairly screeching with signs advertising pie for five cents per cut" And ten cents, if you get it Ia mode. And the samples shown in neat glass cases reveal grand old puffy hunk. Even the swankier places, where all the desserts appeared in French, Italian and way lan- guages, have swung into line.
 And when New York goes back to pie. it seems to me there's some hope for the land.
 The sudden discovery of show stopping young hooters who have been hiding away somewhere in these United States is one of the sensational features of the Broad way season.
 The manner in which these youngsters have stepped on stage, without previouse fanfare, and tied up some big-league show with their nimble feet is nothing short of spectacular.
 To date, there have been three such discoveries, and there are a couple more I've heard about but haven't had time to look in upon. Thus, Flo Ziegfeld started things off by introducing Hal .Le Roy, the Cincinnati lad, into the company of Ruth Fitting, Harry Richman and other stars. Yet, despite his "spot" on the program, the young ster became the talk of the show.
 It was then whispered that George White would have some thing to write home about. He trotted out Ray Bolger, who has been about the stage for some time, but somehow never got the big break. Well, whatever the Scandals may or may not have this season, 1t certainly has Ray Bolger.
 Now old Mons. Shubert heard about all this and went ferreting around. Out of his sleeve he pulled another young man with little or no Broadway reputation -one Tom Harty. And Harty threatens to give Le Roy plenty of competition.
 It's rivalry of this sort that puts the sporting and thrill element into show going. Sport writers tell of the bencher who knocked the home run or came down the field with the pigskin. Of course, the play by-play idea has never seemed pos sible on the stage.
 Yet the fans who make the Broadway rounds season after sea- son, become lusty rooters when some newcomer wins the big street game with some sensationally good stunt. In a way, it's all out of the same bag, I suppose.
 On the other side of the theater ledger must be written the annoy ing number of tasteless acts that have bobbed up since Chick Sales booklet had its phenomenal sale. Three or four music revues, includ- ing the very smart Band Wagon" have had sketches devoted to plumbing shops and such. Copyright, 1881, NEA Service, Incl

WATCHES AMERICA

hoDert bencnley In ale RPTleW
 One cannot pick up a London newspaper or weekly without sec ing, if only among the letters to the Ornithological Editor on the habits of barn swallows in Surrey, some reference to American bar barisms and a clarion call to keep England unsullied from their in- fiuence. And yet these very jour nals devote endless columns of their space to serious-minded studies of the Americans. cover ing in detail what is going on in the United States and trying, with great clear-headedness, in the final paragraphs to explain just why it is going on. This inferior civilization has a very definite fascination for the proud stock of the Aethelings and. while they re- sent the whole thing terribly, they seem quite un able to look the other way and ignore it.
