A steamer passed close by,

had passed, the girl watched
until it was only a speck on the
landscape, saw its curling, lazy
smoke fade away into the blue
waters.

What would they do on this
long trip back?
The arrangements were made
in few minutes by Tony.
Yes, the captain of the tug
would take them to Cleveland.
They should climb right into
the tug. There would be room,
somewhere.
To climb into the tug meant
stepping over the silver fish,
and then hopping from the
side of the scow onto the tug.

Diet and
Health
By DIR. Logan Clendening

by Dr. Logan CIen0enlnY
Summer is the time gener-
ally given over to getting the
body in good condition for the
rigors of the rest of the year.
1t is unquestionably the health
lest time of year. The sun,
the great life giver, Is out
more hours of the day. The
temperature allows of being
outdoors in good fresh air for
most Of the time. Fresh food
of all kinds is available. Con-
tact and contagion from hudd-o
ling people together indoors is
reduced to a minimum.
The Best Exercise
Not the least of the benefits
of summer is the opportunity
for training the body with ex-
ercise and sport.
The best exercise for those
who are not athletes in training
is some form of game. All the
best games that humans have
invented are played with a ball
and a stick of some kind.
Primitive man and our fore
fathers, the apes, probably
played tLem with round stones
or nuts or fruits and limbs
of trees. When you get away
from predatory pursuits, such
as hunting and fishing, and
contests such as wrestling and
boxing and racing, that is
about all We have left, even
IN our advanced state of civiliza-
ton.
Skill with ball and bat, or
stick, or racquet, trains not
only the muscles, but the ner-
vous system-eye, brain and
equilibrium apparatus. The
ability to hit a ball is the re-
suit of one of the most delicate
and fascinatingly interesting ad-
justments of the whole body.
Use Your Head
Nobody can be an athlete
without good cerebellum.
Think for a moment of the
almost magical difficulty of
the procedure. Take a batter
in a baseball game for the
example. He stands with a
bat in his hands and he brings
the surface of a ball moving
with considerable rapidity to
wards him and never being
closer than three or four feet
to his body. To do it success
fully from the standpoint of
the game, he must bring an
exact point of the bat against
a point on the ball so exactly
proper that if it were a thirty
second of an inch off center,
failure would result. Not only
that, but it must be done at q
moment in time when the
rapidly moving ball is exactly
opposite him represented by
the smallest fraction of a
second.

to the two sitting on the bench.
In short time, Dee's face was
wet, and her hair damp. Her
sweater held drops of moisture,
which settled like dew on the
wool.
The tug was low in the water.
Her hand could touch the we'll
ing waves easily.
A few rags of clouds were
gathering in the east, indecisive
as yet whether they would stay
or go from the blue sky.
Not His Fault
Behind the boat, held by
stout ropes the scow came up,
its load of fish blanketed now
with canvas on top of which
were cakes of ice. The smell
wasn't so bad. The wind seemed
to be taking it away.
I'm sorry" Tony murmured
for the hundredth time.
1T isn't your fault, Tony"

FELT HAT IS CLUE
TO MURDERER OF
MAN IN ST. Paul
Three Theories Regarding Cafe
Staying Are investigated
by Officials

st. Paul, March 20.-(R-One of
two felt hats Friday furnished a clue
to police attempting to apprehend
the slayer of Frank Van, st. Paul,
who was shot to death behind the
Green Lantern cafe.
The hat, a soft gray felt, was found
behind the cafe with another, identi-
fled as belonging to Van, is believed
by police to have been worn by the
killer.
Three theories were being investi-
gated Friday. One vas that Van was
shot as an outgrowth Of q rumored
machine gun raid on a Minneapolis
gambling house last week. Another
was the shooting was an outgrowth
of personal differences between Van
and the slayer and the third was that
liquor differences caused the killing.
Carl Lund, who told police he was
in his room over the cafe at the time,
said he saw two men get into cars
and drive away shortly after the
shooting.
Mrs. Dorothy Van. wife OF the slain
man, said she and her husband were
sitting together in the cafe when a
stranger asked Van to step out.
Shortly after the two left the cafe,
ouarreling was heard, she said, fol-
lowed by two shots. Van was struck
in the head and in the back.
Van was identified by William Ul-
mer, a brother in-law, who was I'M
able to furnish police any motive.
