 Improvements contemplated this year and discussed by the Council yesterday include the pouring of a concrete floor under the front awning of the cabin, the pur- chase of at least six new tents and material for mattresses for the Scouts.
 Tentative dates for the encamp- ment are June 6 to 18, inclusive. Curtis Shattuck, assistant scout master of Troop 613, who was di- rector of the 1881 camp, will be in charge again this year.

he dove four times before he could find her by feeling around. F- nally he grasped her by the hair and brought her to the surface. He supported her until skiff put out from shore. She was lift ed into the boat and taken to the beach. Anderson cut his right hand badly on the nails of a floating board in effecting the rescue.

NEED MORE PASTURE.

The of land in the United States in i'm proved pasture is only one-fifth of that in hay and grain crops says specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture who believe that pastures should supply more of the feed for livestock. More improved pasture land would reduce need for grain crops, lesson labor for crop production reduce soil erosion provide better pasturage during drought, save pastures overgrazed, and preserve wood lots. Ten per cent of the cultivated crop area, if sown to pasture would add about 30 per cent. to the present of improved pasture land. says the department.

say, if she were to ask him just straight out.
 The sound of falling water came nearer every minute. On the ter race it was an undertone; but as they went down the slope, it swal- lowed every other sound and rose to a dominant roar. They turned inland, and the path wound be- tween the trees. The laundering rush of the water was below them now. but the trees hid the fall
 Then the path twisted, and they came out upon flat open space. From the right the headlong stream came hurrying down steep rocky channel. A light bridge spanned it at the narrowest point few yards from where they stood. Be- low them was the fall, the sound of it like the sound of an ava lanche.
 Nan stood by the railing, which guarded the edge and looked over. A mass of foaming water fell 40 feet sheer to black pool The revine narrowed to a cleft, and within this cleft, the water fell The sides of it were dark and slippery. And beyond the black pool, which lay in shadow, the sunlight glittered on the sea- The spray came up into her face.
 Its high tide, so you're seeing it at it's best. Watch that wave come in"
 Nan watched, and saw a big wave rear itself and come driving through the mouth of the ravine, to break in foam and spray against the spray and foam of the fall.
 You get the best view from the bridge said Jervis.
 Does the sea always come up in the pool?"
 "Yes-except at the ebb of a spring tide. A high flood tide will break half way up the fall.

YANKEES WIN WITH FOUR STRAIGHT.

For the sixth time out of a total of twenty nine contests between National and American League pennant winners Worlds Series has terminated with the fourth game Exactly half of the times when one of the teams was skunked in the contests the New York Americans the victors. Babe Ruth and his teammates defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates four straight games in 1927 and lost none. In 1928 they likewise defeated the St. Louis Cardinals without losing game Once in 1922 the Yankees lost four straight games and won none. The victors were the New York Giants. The Yankees had been the favortes that year they the year before when they were beaten by the Giants, to 3. The Yankees were always the favorites against the Giants but they lost two of three Worlds Series contests that were played between them and the Giants in three successive years. Finally in the third contest, 1923 the Yankees won from the Giants with four victories and two defeats
 The Boston Braves a championship in four straight victories from the Philadelphia Athletics in 1914 and the Chicago Cubs won four straight from the Detroit Tigers in 1907
 A four-game Worlds Series is of the best evidences of real sportsmanshp in baseball. Wher one takes into account that a Worlds Series base ball game usually produces in excess of s150000 i is easy to understand how fine 1t would be to pro long championship contest If the contest betweel the New York Americans and the Chicago Cub that closed Sunday had been prolonged to sever games it would have meant approximately hal million dollars to the baseball game in gat money.

CHAPTER 1s.
A TRAGEDY IMPPENDS

The day came LID in sea fog which lifted before eleven. It left the grass grey with dew and ev- cry tree and flower hung with tiny brilliant drops, which made rainbows in the sun.
 Nan had slept late She came downstairs to find that Jervis had breakfasted and gone out. When the fog lifted, she took a look out on the terrace and sat on the low balustrade looking over to the ravine. The grey stone of the terrace was dry already, but the earth in the formal beds was dark.
 Nan looked up at her window and wondered if she had really stood there in the dead of the night and seen Robert Leonard by flash of lightning. A little shiver went over her She had only to shut her eyes and she could see him against the pale violet flare. She looked down at Bran lying on the stone at her feet with his nose between his paws.
 Jervis hailed her from under the wall.
 Would you like to come and see the waterfall?"

It's fine sight. Come and see it from the bridge. Here, Bran!
 Hi over!"
 Bran cooked his ears, lifted his head, and raced ahead of them to the bridge, where he turned with a joyful wool and then ran for ward. But as he came on to the bridge, he checked so suddenly that he slid a couple of feet on the wet blanks before he could stop himself. He came to stand still with all four feet together,
 and immediately sprang back

 Whats up, Bran?" said Jervis. What is it, you old fool? Hi
 over'
 The hair on Bran's neck stood
 up. He backed gingerly, lifting
 his feet as if he were on ice, and
 growing all the time. Jervis strode forward and caught him by the collar. Hi, over!' he said Whats the matter with you?" Bran beat with his tail, whined and pulled away He's frightened" said Nan ra- ther breathlessly. There's some thing wrong with the bridge"
 Jervis' eyes flashed
 Hes going over it if I've got
 to drag him." "Dont!" said Nan. There's something wrong" Shall I show you there isnt?'
 Jervis let go of Bran with a sud-
 den contemptuous movement and turned to the bridge. : Nan felt the agonizing certain 1, ty of danger. Her heart jumped and before she knew that she was
 going to do it, she found herself

Picking the Man at the Helm.
(NeW York Times.)


 Assuming it to be true that the American people never vote for anybody but always against some body what it may be asked, is there wrong about it?
 Suppose we think of the American Government, to coin bold metaphor, the Ship Of State. Sup pose we think of the President, to use another striking figure, as the Man at the Helm. What would the critics say if every four years forty mil lion American voters conducted an elaborate exam inaton for the job of captain of the Ship of State by testing all candidates in mathematics astronomy, meteorology eyesght blood pressure, English, his- tory, civcs and muscular and mental reaction time? The critics would be the first to denounce the pre- sumption of crowd setting out to pick a captain on his merits.
 But there is thing that the passengers on a ship perfectly qualified to do They can tell whether the ship is moving nicely through the water is piled up the rocks. After a proper interval the passengers can tell whether the ship is getting nearer to Southampton and Cherbourg or is going in circles around the Azores.
 If the ship fares well, the passengers attend to their five meals day, deck tennis and holding hands in the moonlight, and forget there is cap- tain. If the ship fails to do its work, they oust the captain. What is there wrong about that? It is what every business does with his en- ployees

English Police Don't Want Arms.
Manchester Guardian.)


 The supposed recent increase in motor and other bandits" has led to revival of the old demand for arming the police with guns. The demand has plausible sound. If criminals are taking to fire arms would not a similar armng of the police be the most effective counter? Yet an inquiry made by MT Jack Hayes among members of the force, the results of which given in the current Police Review shows that the great majority of the police themselves opposed to such step. Violence breeds violence, and the criminal who at present hesitates to carry a gun-knowing that to do so will merely bring him a heavier sentence-might well have his hesitation conquered by the knowledge that the police were also armed. The real solu- ton to the bandit menace" lies exactly in the opposite direction--a general tightening up of the regulations governing the issue Of gun licenses The ten-year-od Firearms Act needs drastic re- vision The present position is that anyone not under statutory disability (such as previous prison sentence) can obtain license simply by going to his local police station and giving good reason" for wanting one. There may be a legitimate need for the sporting rifle or shotgun, but 1t IS hard to see any for the pocket firearm, which is at once the most deadly and the most peculiarly criminal weapon of the lot.

Evidence of Self Reliance.
Seward Gateway


 While reports from different portions of the Ter ritory disclose nothing startling in point of boom conditions, they reveal that, if anything, general tone of substantial progress prevails.
 This is shown in the steady advance of trade in all towns. and gradual increase in employment due to an exodus from the settled centers to the hills and creeks.
 Hardly week passes but some new mining deal is reported and with them additional men going to work Many trappers have turned to the shovel and suce box, and owners Of paying placer turning in that direction to secure funds.
 The Nuka Bay find has had the effect of stimu- latng interest in quartz, and all those who can finance trip into the hills and maintain for the summer are either revving old prospects or seeking new This has had the effect of marked increase in the essentials of mining, especially powder caps and fuse To aid the prospector and miner the prices of these commodities have been markedly discounted by the merchants
 Willow Creek, north of Anchorage; Moose Pass, Nuka Bay. Girdwood, Valdez Creek, Hope and Sun rise are all looking forward to the largest cleanup in years Renewed mining activity is reported from all other sections of the Territory. Thus as the Territory reverts to go on its own the old-tme prosperity appears to be only a matter of season or two with greater substantially than prevailed in past years.

She looked over the balustrade and saw him below her, bare headed, looking up A drop of three feet on the terrace side was a good ten feet to the path be- low. Jervis was gay and smiling. He had very much the look of being at home He wore an old brown shooting -coat, and knick- erbockers. Bran got up, and put his forefeet on the balustrade, and looked over at him, pricking his ears. His nose quivered slightly He made no sound.
 'Td love to come said Nan.
 You'll want thick shoes-every- things sopping.'
 .These are the thickest I've got I don't mind getting wet
 She ran down the steps in the middle of the terrace, and he met her, frowning.

 She looked up at him with a faint smile which became sud denly tremulous. She felt like 8 child at a party where the other children were playing a game she did not know. She did not know Jervis' game. She wondered how he would look, and what he would
