In Old Celtic Land.

OF all the interesting trips in
France, Brittany should be included,
especially the south coast, with it's sea
resorts. This is the land of the "Par-
dons," those semireligious and semi
pagan festivals, when the villagers
don the costumes and play the cere-
monies which go back to the days Of
the dolmen and menhir Of their wild
moorlands. Paris-Nantes- Savenay
St Nazaire is the route to follow,
and the great Pardon centers are at
Array, st. Malo, Quiberon, Quimper,
Daoulas, Plougastel and st. Amelia
Palud, where the most important Par
don in Brittany is held on the last Sat
urday and Sunday in August. These
old Celtic lands of France have a fas-
cination different from the rest Of
France.

But Montcalm retreated, and this
puzzled Jeems. The army began to
learn the truth as, weary and foot
sore it turned toward Quebec. Ra-
pacity, folly, intrigue, and falsehood
had fed at the heart Of New France
until it was honeycombcd by the rot
tenness of dissolution. Montcalm was
its one star of hope, and as autumn
came, then winter, it seemed to Jeems
that Montcalms God had deserted him.
The st. Lawrence was filled with Brit
ish ships. The harvest was meager,
and barrel of -four cost two hundred
francs. Even Montcalm ate horse
flesh. Still he did not lose faith In
God. A thousand scoundrels headed
by Vaudreuil had fattened on the ma
TONS downfall, and he prayed for
them. "What a country!" he ex-
claimed "Here all the knaves grow
rich and the honest men are ruined"
A fighting man, man Of sword and
death, he kept his faith to the end.
"If we are driven from the st. Law
renee" he wrote to his wife, 1--WE will
descend the Mississippi and make a
final stand for France among the
swamps Of Louisiana"
Thus planned and prayed the man
whose bleached skull is now shown to
visitors in the Ursuline convent at
Quebec. Through the spring and sum-
mer Of 1859, Jeems watched the
spiders as they wove their web ever
closer about Quebec, the last French
stronghold in America. 1t was in May
of 1855 that Toinette had been killed,
and it was in May Of 1859 that he first
saw from the Montmorenci shore the
mighty rock which so long had been
the mistress Of the New world.
Four months later, on the most
eventful September 10 of written his
tory-that Tomorrow Morning" which
will never be forgotten-he stood on
the Plains Of Abraham.
Montcalm's God was about to COM
plete an immaculate elegy which hung
in the air like mighty chorus waiting
for a whispered command to begin.
To Jeems Bulain, facing the sun and
the thin red line of the British across
the meadows where Abraham Martin
had grazed his cattle, fate was bring
ing an end to uncertainty and chaos
It had missed him at Fort William
Henry, at Ticonderoga, at Mont
morenci, but here he could feel it's
presence-an escape-a release from
bondage greater than iron
or flesh-as the crimson lines drew
nearer. He felt the spirit Of what
Montcalm had said to his doomed
heroes a few minutes before. "God is
surely watching over the Plains Of
Abraham today"

CHAPTER XIII

It was ten o'clock, the hour of the
crisis At dawn it had been foggy;
at six showers had fallen; now 1t was
hot. 1t might have been July instead
of September. In darkness twenty
four British volunteers had climbed
the steep height from the river, hang
ing to bushes, digging their fingers
into crevices of rock, crawling with
their faces against the earth, making
their way foot by foot. II am afraid
you cannot do it," Wolfe had said,
looking at the pitlike blackness above.
But they did. Nameless in history,
they destroyed the old map of the
world and put another in it's place. In
that hour twenty-four men ruined
France, gave rise to a greater Eng
land, created a new nation.
At the top, Vergor, the French Off
Ger, slept soundly with his guards. To
him fate might have given the glory
of keeping the old map intact. But
he was killed before he could wipe
the daze of slumber from his eyes.
Wolfe,'s path was made, and like a
thin stream Of red ants the British
continued to ascend the trail which
had been blazed for them.
vaudreuil, the governor, the arch
villain who lost half continent for
France, lay in his coy nest Of In
iquity a short distance away dream
ing of sensual days with the faithless
Madame de Paean and planning a fu-
ture with the kings own mistress, La
Pompadour. Across the st. Charles,
expecting the British in different d.
rection, sleepless, worn, robbed OF
every chance to win by the weakness
and imbecility Of this favorite OF a
kings mistress, was Montcalm.

Jap. Live Strictly Up

Mrs. L. w. Hoffeker Of Ell Paso, in

q motor trip, says:
"When we locked at Yokohoma
there was no gas in the car and
bought some before / drove into the

against the law to bring in gas
without a manifest and If 1 drove
the car out of the yard would get
arrested for smuggling gas.
'sThen the courteous Japs, in or
der not to have to arrest me, helped
push my car into the street and then
told me to drive down to the police
station for inspection.

Violin Resemble. Human Ear

: In an effort to improve the tone
quality of the violin without detract-
ing from resonance or volume, a
German musician and inventor has
made an instrument bearing a strik-
ing resemblance to a human ear,
which produces sounds OF great
sweetness and purity. This violin,
described in Popular Mechanics Mag
azine, has virtually been built on
edge, the sounding surfaces, there
fore, do not need to be curved to
make room for the bow, and this,
apparently, has increased the reso-
nance of the instrument.

YALE OARSMEN WIN
z OPENING EVENTS
Freshmen and "Jayvees''
Take Races From Harvard
in Annual Regatta.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW LONDON. Conn, June 19.-The
blue-tipped oars Of Yale flashed triumph
antly in the sun today as the Ellis raced
to double victory over Harvard in the
opening events of the annual regatta
between these ancient college rivals.
Yale captured the freshman race by
three lengths, after Which the Eli ju-
nior varsity crew scored an even more
decisive victory, leading the Crimson
"jayVess,". by three and quarter lengths
over the upper two miles of the Thames
course.
1t was the seventh time in nine years
that the Blue has swept the two morn
ming races, but seldom have the fin
ishes been as one-sided.
AS result, Yale's hopes of clean
sweep were buoyed, although Harvard
remained slight favorite for the four
mile varsity classic, scheduled to be
rowed up stream this evening.
The Yale freshmen got away smartlJ
in the first race and quickly opened up
commanding lead with the faster,
smoother Eli stroke.
Els Take Early Lead.
The Blue yearlings took a lead of a
half length inside the first 400 yards.
Harvard'S first challenge was repulsed
and Yale drew steadily ahead.
The Eli youngsters raised the beat as
they headed for the finish and fin-
ished smoothly in 10 minutes, IS Sec
onds for the two-mile route.
Harvard's time was 10:35 3-5.
The clean-cut victory of the Yale
Junior varsity crew came as a distinct
surprise, inasmuch as this boatload
was the hardest hit in the shake-up of
the Eli squad resulting from violations
of training rules.
With the exception of the No. oar,
j. G. Urquhart of Chehalis, Wash, the
crew was made up entirely of New York
State talent.
Duplicate of Freshman Race.
The ";ayvee" contest was a duplicate
of the freshman race. Again the Ellis
got of in better style, gained lengths
added another half length by the time
the mile post was reached and then
doubled their lead with a sensational
squirt.
The Harvard "jayvees," stroked by
Thomas Armstrong of Dallas, Tex, came
strong in the last half mile after pull
ing together badly earlier in the race.
BY this time. however, the race was lost
and the Ellis had no trouble holding
their margin.
Yale's time of I0:43 was surprisingly
slower than the winning freshman
mark. Harvard's jayyees were clocked
in 1854.

BINGHAM URGES new
AIR SERVICE PROGRAM
Senator Asks Hoover to Recommend
Another Five-Year Plan for
Army and Navy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Bingham today asked Presi-
dent Hoover to recommend new five-
year airplane program for the Army
and Navy.
The Connecticut Republican said the
present five-year program was near
ing its end and unless something was
done at the next Congress the two serv-
ices would drop behind in aviation de-
velopment and the airplane industry
would be practically. wrecked.
He said six years ago when the Nor
row board, which recommended the
present program, was sitting at the
Capitol, only 80 actual combat planes
could be assembled from the two serv-
ices. In contrast with that showing, he
pointed to the recent Army air ma
neuvers in which more than 600 planes
few over the Nations Capital.
A carefully outlined program for the
next five years built on details fur
nished by the Army and Navy, he said,
would enable the airplane industry to
continue its development with some
certainty.
Bingham is president Of the National
Aeronautic Association.
