 They drove on for some way. not speaking again. Sondra half dozed beside him, the hum of the engine and the soft air on her face were almost like a soothing narcotic.
 When he spoke presently, she started, as if she had really been sleeping.
 Isn't this beautiful?"
 She opened her eyes and leaned a little forward, staring at the river far below, gleaming like golden snake in the moonlight, winding away between wooded banks, far out of sight.
 Merriman said suddenly. Well, wherever I go I shall never see I like better than this. We used to live near here when l was boy-and I often came here and looked over the river and dreamed of all the wonderful things

 She felt that she had suddenly gone mad = gloriously, recklessly mad-as if nothing mattered any more but this man and the ten derness of his arms around her. Suddenly she was weeping. "Oh, I've never had any happiness-or real love, and now you're going away :"
 He gently disengaged her clinging arms, keeping both her hands in his, My darling, you don't know what you're saying-I love you too well. can't. 7. I. . you're too wonderful to mel love you too. we'll"
 She went on pleading, remem- bering only that she might never see nm agam, longing for Just one taste of happiness, before it was too late. Already she seemed to see the miles of dividing sea, the long silence, the empty future without love, almost without hope And one grew old so soon-old and hopeless.
 Then suddenly she was silent, her words all spent, the bitterness of defeat closing about her heart as she waited for him to speak Then she heard his voice, broken, shaken with unwilling passion.

It was a beautiful night; clear sky with a golden waning moon and ( breath of coming spring in the air. Sondra sat there beside Merriman in the narrow automo- bile seat, her hands clenched, her feet pressed hard to the floor.
 T can't bear it. I can't bear it. ." she was saying over and over again in her heart.
 She spoke suddenly, quietly. Are you in hurry? Do We have to go nome at once'?'
 "Of course not. I only thought -. where shall we go?"
 "Anywhere-it's such a heavenly night"

French Penal Code

France does not send all persons
who commit crimes to the French
penal colony on the Isle de Salut, off
the coast of French Guiana. The type
Of prisoners sent is that, generally
speaking, of the undesirable habitual
criminal whom the French government
does not want to return to France.
In sentencing the criminal to the col
onies the type of criminal rather than
the type of crime committed is
stressed, such as undesirable political
prisoners, as well as vicious habitual
criminals.

Isabella was one of the first Span

as Hispaniola. In 1901 Nicolas Ovan-

slaves there from Africa. For this
reason negroes look upon Isabella as
the first landing place of their race in
America, in the same way in which the
English regard the Jamestown settle

Colds Are Easy
To Catch States
Health Director
DIR. Riley Urges Those Afflicted
With Colds To Observe
The Golden Rule

"Colds are catching. If you are I'M
lucky enough to have one, keep your
germs to yourself. Don't broadcast
them. Have some pity on the other
fellow. Don't sneeze or cough in your
neighbours face. Sneeze or cough into
your handkerchief, and use a paper
handkerchief or one of some material
that can be destroyed or burned" is
the advice of DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department of Health.
Don't go visiting while you have
cold. Remember how uncomfortable
you are and spare your friends from
similar experiences. If circumstances
make it necessary for you to keep a
keepin' on, observe the Golden Rule
and treat others as you would be glad
to have them. treat you. Don't shake
hands. You can follow the Chinese
custom of shaking your own hands.
Don't exchange pens or pencils, or
any other things you have been carry
ing in your pockets, with others. Little
children are particularly susceptible
to colds. Protect them from your
germs. Don't give a child a taste of
something from off your plate. Don't
kiss child, or anybody for that mat
ter, squarely on the mouth, at any
time-cut out all kinds of kissing
while you have cold.
"We don't know much about the
tiny organisms that cause these colds
that give US so much trouble, except
that they are so minute that they
cannot be detected by the most power
full miscroscope. But we do know from
personal experience what the germs
do to us. And that is enough to put
US on our guard against them. The
laboratory workers have discovered
that the cold producing germs are to
be found in the secretions from the
nose and throat of persons who have
colds. Innumerable quantities of the
germs are spread out into the air with
every careless sneeze or cough. Some
of this infectious material is deposited
on the victims hands and on every
thing he touches glasses,
spoons, dishes, pipes, pencils. That is
why the doctors tell you to have your
dishes and table utensils boiled before
using a second time whenever you
have cold.
1.-THE quickest way to get rid of
cold is to go home and go to bed if
possible, and to stay there until you
are better and no longer a source of
danger to others. Drink plenty of
water; go on a light diet If you ache
all over and have any signs of fever,
send for your doctor and follow his
instructions"

More Instrument-Flying

By the end of this month. it is announced inspectors for the United States Department of Commerce will have completed blind- flying tests for all pilots operating scheduled transport planes. There are certain tenn porary exceptions along routes where gov ernment radio range beacons are not yet fin ished. Inspectors are reported pleased with the ability pilots have. shown in the tests.
 Pilots trained and skilled in instrument flying add another safety factor to air trans portation. Flying on the regular transport lines is already a safer matter than many ground-travelers realize. Most air accidents these days occur with private planes. The amount of day -by-day air travel that goes on almost unnotieed by any except passengers and their friends and families would surprise that part of the public which still regards aviation as calling for daredevils and stunters.
 A visit to big airport finds transport planes arriving and departing with railroad regularity. When the weather really IS menacing so that flying would be unsafe planes are held at the airport. but ordinary showers do less damage to the air transport schedules than to summer picnic.

Cash Settlement

According to a Washington correspond ent for the New York Times, several mem bers of the United States Senate have been discussing plan for solution of the debt problem along these lines: |. Acceptance by the United States of lump sum, tenta- lively placed at $1,000.000,000, in satis faction of all war debts owed to us the money to be raised by an international loan floated by the debtor countries, part of which might be marketed in the United States. z. Granting of trade concessions to the United States by the debtor countries in any form which would assure better markets for American products. }. Substantial reduc- tion of ornaments by the debtor nations, to the end that both they and the United States be saved unnecessary expense. concession calculated to satisfy the popular demand in this country.
 There is nothing new in these ideas in themselves. The significant thing is that they should be seriously considered in the United States Senate, the treaty making branch of Congress. at this time when the general cry at Washington is for debt pay ment on the existing basis The billion of cash, it is suggested, along with little more economy in government expenditures would balance the budget As for the principle of debt collection in full, which most of the statesmen at Washington insist publicly on applying literally, quite few of them are said to admit privately that they would take whatever they could get for the debt.

 Last spring pr. Hendsrson testified before a senate sub-committee when the Bingham beer bill was being heard. At the time he stated that the only alcoholic drinks that were intoxicating are those which are con- sumed in such quantities that 80 cubic een- timeters of alcohol is poured into the blood per hour. That is the equivalent of half gallon of beer an hour. Which rather up- holds the Yale mans claim that "beer con taining per cent of alcohol by volume is not intoxicating A serious suggestion from him is that encouragement of the use of light wines and beers will surely tend to make us far more temperate nation than we are today. That is a claim which this writer has always advanced. We eer- tainly think that it would be practical if advanced from the theoretical stage.
