PLANES SEEK
 WOMAN'S FAVOR

Detroit - (UP) - The age of refinements, which touched and changed automobile manufactur- ing, has reached into the field of airplane design and manufacture.
 The industry's newest models displayed recently at the National Aircraft Show here, gave every in- dication of making a bid for the women's favor. The man of the family may be interested chiefly in engine performance, gasoline consumptions and speed, but if his wife doesn't like the interior dec orations and the outside paint finish, the sale probably won't go through. Therefore, the expensive interiors.
 The day when passenger climbed over the side of a grease smeared plane and onto a seat which felt like the reverse side of a griddle froh,.. is gone forever Today the seats are of deep lea tIer, designed to soothe and com fort the most weary traveller. In the larger planes the seats recline and a footrest comes out.
 And, of course, the seat leather matches the general decoration in color and motif. Old gold, burnt rose, or plain paneling may be In order. The individual lamps over each seat match the decoration, as does the ash tray at the side, for smoking Is no longer taboo in the air, now that ventilating sys- tems have been installed.
 Some of the larger planes, also feature a kitchenette compart- ment, with an ice box and sufh- cient room to prepare a light lunch in mid-air. There also is small dressing table and mirror. where the ladies may take final poke at their hair or dab at their nose before landing.

that Christmas typifes in man. No
human society could exist without
them. Laws could not govern hearts
that knew not love, nor force constrain
the acts of men who knew not mercy.
These qualities are inherent in man.
He cannot divest himself of them.
They are the heritage Of his divine
origin and nature. They distinguish
him from the beasts.
Christmas is his recognition of his
own divine attributes. He cannot ig-
more the worship that Is in him for
those Same qualities that his baser ma
ture may often seek to overcome, to
deny, to Danish from human relation.
ships. But it is the history of mans
conquest of life, which often has
seemed ruthless and savage, that no
triumph of materialism, no pursuit of
wealth, no indulgence and greed have
ever separated him finally from that
first altar of his worship-from the
love and mercy that have taken form
in his observance of Christmas.
With kings and councillors of the
earth, with princes that had gold and
filled their houses with silver, and
with the lowliest in their huts of DESC
lation it is ever the same; together
they must worship what is in the ma.
ture Of all that breathe, for without it
one man would forever be beast Of
burden and his brother beast of prey.
Christmas, then, brings home to us
our common heritage. We cannot
escape it If we would. AS the flower
so does man, obeying an impulse as
instructive turn to Christmas to re-
ceive the reviving forces that are In
the human love it brings. Then does
he lay aside all that is unworthy OF
him and partake anew of the spirit
that alone can give purpose and dig
nifty to his life on earth. AS long as
he turns in worship to this beauty that
really is Of himself, though often
through his own failings removed from
him and preserved only as an image or
symbol, he is not lost to some sense
of his own divine nature. He can still
bring it back and receive it renewed
and live by it.
Thus is Christmas never outworn,
nor it's reviving force exhausted. 1t
cannot be while man has worship in
him and gives it to that which he
recognizes as the ultimate to which his
nature aspires.
No, Christmas never can grow old
fashioned and in that is the hope of
the world.-Kansas City Times.

the men in that heading began to
take time off on one excuse or an
other, we investigated. The ticking
could be heard at times, but 1t was
probably only the trickling Of water
in some underground cavity, or so we
concluded"
AS they came out Of the mine, Mark
ham asked the location Of the Qua
vapai. Starbuck pointed up the road
toward Lake Topaz.
Its on the other side Of the spur
in the next gulch. If you are going
that way, you'll see the dump as you
pass the mouth Of the gulch."
They saw it, hanging like huge
gray beard from the mountain side,
but turn in the gulch hid the mine
buildings. The side road was barri-
caded against traffic, and beyond the
barricade they saw man with gun.

Thine may tell. What do we do

Markham made sign of assent.
"Td like to know where those three
men left it, and why. Also, why Can

They stopped at the hotel to glance
over the register in search of the
three names Markham had copied from
the record in st. Joseph. The names
did not appear and, as they were driv-
ing out of the hotel grounds they met
Candy driving in, not in the yellow
limousine, but in sport roadster.
The other occupant of the single seat
was Betty Lawson. Candy seemed
not to see them, but Betty did and she
waved to them.
"You see," said Lands gloomily.
81 see that you are taking it lying
down." Markham returned in a half
growl.
"You think / wouldn't break in If l
had an opening-that don't care
enough? Good Lord, Wally, I'd give
the best ten years of my life If l
could go back to where stood with
Betty before l began to bury myself
in this cursed invention Of mine" He
choked up at that, and when he went
on, "Show me an opening, Wally. and
I'll walk into it If hi is gaping on
the other side of it! That's how much
I'm taking it lying down."
"Um; that sounds more like It," was
Markham's gruff approval, and he

And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night.
And, 10, the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them: and they
were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear
not: for, behold, i bring you good
tidings Of great joy, which shall be
to all people.
For unto you Is born this day in the
city of David Savior, which is Christ
the Lord
And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddlng clothes, lying in Manager.
And suddenly there was with the
angel multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men,

that. That's why the Fleetwing
hasn't shown up in Brewster; they've
left it somewhere along the road, and
Candy picked them up and brought
them in. We're framing the puzzle
up, a bit at a time. I-hello-here
we are at the Little Alice. Shall we
stop?'
"Have to, won't we? If Mr.. Star
buck sees us, he'll think it queer If
we drive past without stopping"
Markham parked the car, and as he
was doing it, Starbuck came out.
"You are just in the nick of time
to have a noon snack with us" was the
mine owners greeting. Come on over
to the mess shack and meet the staff"
This was their Introduction to the
engineers and officer mems mess; and
after the meal Starbuck took them In
hand and showed them through the
mine.
After they had tramped for what
seemed like miles in the network, Star
buck halted them in a well-lighted
heading where the chattering clamor
of the air drills was deafening; and
the silence, when the drills stopped,
and the miners began to unlimber and
drag them back from the heading, was
almost painful.
"This is our main lead" Starbuck
explained, when the stoppage of the
drill clamor gave him leave, cts what
the old miners call true fissure'
vein, and they have belief that such
veins grow richer the deeper you
drive" Then, "They are aiming to
load the holes and fire, and we'd bet
ter move out"
AS they were walking down the
main tunnel, Lands said, "You spoke
of the old-time miners; do they have
many superstitions
ooh, not more than men of other
callings, I reckon. But in that head
ing we've just left, we've had curious

CHAPTER IX-Continued


eff you are out on the Topaz road,
stop at the Little Alice I'm going out
there shortly"
The invitation was accepted, condi-
toned upon their driving that far.
AS they were taking the roadster
out of the hotel garage Lands asked
what was to be the program for the
day.
IT want to take a shot at trying to
find out what Candy did with those
two unaccounted-fOr hours yesterday
morning"
The "shot" was fired methodically
by making inquiries on all the roads
leading out of Brewster, and it led to
nothing until the round brought them
to the road over which they them
selves had driven in. Here, at cot
tage, Markham stopped the car, say
Ing, "There was a light in this house
when we came by yesterday morn
ing; noticed it. It's only another of
the wild chances but We'll ask"
A woman answered their knock, and
Pardon me, but We'll be grateful If
you would answer few questions for
us, If you can. You were up early
yesterday morning, weren't you?"
The woman nodded. II was-all Of
that. My baby was sick"
do you often notice the passing Of
cars?"
II couldn't very well help it. could

this?" Then, pointing to the roadster,
II saw that car, or one just like it,
go by little after day, yesterday
morning."
"Quite right; and we were in it.
Was it the only one you saw"
"No, there were three more; big
cars, all just alike. Two going into
town, and one coming out. was sit

Lands saw possibility in this and
caught at it.
"Could you-can you remember the
times when these three cars, just
alike, went past?" he asked.
mot just; but 1 sh'd say it was
somewhere near three o'clock when
the first one went by, going on to
town"
"Could you see this big car well
enough to tell us how it looked?"
1T was fine, closed car, painted
kind of light yellow; limmyzeen,
they call 'em, don't they?"
Markham nodded. II suppose you
couldn't see the people in it, could
you?"
"On.y that there was two of 'em in
the front seat; man and woman"
Exactly. Now the next one; when
did it come along?"
"Maybe half hour or so after that.
1t was going the other way. 1t looked
like theSsame car. Anyway, it was
the same color"
"And the third one; which way was
1t going?"
"It was going in, and it was big,

"Could you see the folks in it"
II could see only the one man,

when they drove on; adding, THAT

II think you know The three cars
just alike were one and the same car.
And the man driving it all three times
was Canby."
"Check The next question is, why
did he double back after he had left
the professor and Betty at the hotel?'
"Wait," said Lands; and after
brow-knitting pause, "I'm trying to
remember. Coming over last night
