The Grand canal varies in width
from 20 to so miles. There are two
regions, however. The inner one
is narrow and fairly free from the
perils which make the outer zone
impossible for shipping. Only small
craft are navigated among the
reefs of the outer zone.

1t is between these two zones
that the mountainous islands lie,

Thousands of folk who make the

Spain has played her part in
pioneer navigation of Australasian
seas. In 1905 three ships under
Admiral de Quiros sailed for the
South Pacific from CallaO. The cap
tain of one was Luis Vaes de
Torres, whose name lives forever
as that of the strait between Aus
tralia and New Guinea. His vessel
became separated from the other
two, and Torres was probably the
first European to sight Cape York
peninsula, the northernmost point of
Australia, and Prince of Wales is
land.
But Torres discovery was a Sc
cret from the world until 1862,
when among the archives at Manila
, the record of his great voyage was
found by the British. They gave
honor where it was due, naming the
strait after its discoverer.
Explored by Scientists.
Scientific investigation Of the
Great Barrier reef began when H.
NJ. S. Fly cruised in the Coral sea
and other waters. Her voyage ex-
tended over several years, 1912
1916, and J. Beete Jukes was the
naturalist on board her, a geologist
whose interests were not confined
to rocks. Jukes wrote the first de-
scription of the Great Barrier, which
remains one of the best general ac-
counts we have of this geographical
wonder:
"The Great Barrier reefs are thus
found to form a long submarine but
tress, or curtain, along the north
eastern coast of Australia, rising in
general precipitOusly from a very
great depth, but resting toward the
north of the shOaler ground of
Torres strait. and toward the south
on the bank stretching off from
Sandy cape.
'If it were to be laid dry, this
great Barrier would be found to
have a considerable resemblance to
a gigantic and irregular fOrtifica-
ton, steep glacis crowned with a
broken parapet wall, and carried
from one rising ground to another.

Darkness closed over Mary

agony. Then q sweetish, sick

A light was shining in; her
eyes when she opened them.
At first she thought she was
= looking straight into the sun,
and then she saw that it was
her own little yellow-shaded
bed lamp. She was in her own
room in her own bed. She
could feel the pillow, soft and
cool, against her cheek. She
ached all over and she was too
tired to move or speak. She
closed her eyes again.
Then all at once someone
was bending over her. A mans
deep voice was saying, "Are you
awake, Mrs. Farrell?"
She looked up. DR.. Thatcher
was bending over her and be-
side him stood Kim's mother,
She was holding a small white
bundle in her arms, and as
Mary Faith tried to lift herself
from her pillows Mrs. Farrell
laid it down beside her.
Love in the Flesh
Turning her head, Mary
Faith looked at the baby. Here
was her love for Kim in the
flesh-the little soft baby, ten
der as flower petals and warm
as life itself. One hand was
curled up tight against the
little face, like a tiny pink sea-
shell.
"Well, there's your son, Mrs.
Farrell-horn just as the bells

ground was covered with a
blanket several inches thick,
and there were powder-puffs OF
feathery snow on the electric
light globes that hung on
either side of the entrance to
the apartment house.
All day Mary Faith had felt
tired and drowSy. All day, in
obedience to some blind law OF

side the dining-room table, as
II she were preparing herself
for some great ordeal.

To most people dreams are
puzzles, wholly unsolvable. Per.
chance one may turn to q
dream book" to look UP their
meaning, but few believe in
dream books these, days.
Usuall:- a dreamer, unless SUI
pertitiously inclined, Is not
likely to worry about any pos
sible prophetic meaning his
dream may have. In fact, the
average individual, II aware
that he has dreamed, promptly
forgetS all about it.
Dreams are, nevertheless,
highly valuable functions Of
the brain. For when we sleep
our conscious mind-the mind
we use in our daily working
contacts-is blotted out, and
when a dream is fashioned it
is made UP Of purely uncon-
SciouS (SubconScious) thinking.
You may rest assured that
unless dreaming had a purpose
such a phenomenon would not
exist.
Not only is a dream the royal
road by which an exploration
Of the unconscious mind may
be made, but it is through
dreaming that we relieve our
selves of our repressions and
thwarted conscious wishes.

FASHIONS BY Wilma La Vile

The sensation OF early spring
is undoubtedly going to be the
new cape suits, They are al
ready enormoE--,,y popular in
all localities where suits are be-
ing bought. and stores al over
the country are showing them.
Every woman who tries one on
is entranced, because IT,. are
such q welcome change from
the straight silhouette. It's
about time for capes on all
types of costumes to be popu-
lar, for designers have been
showing a few every. year, and
this is the first type to be
fovored.
At Amazing Prices
CapeS on suits are hip length.
or three-quarters. in most cases.
They are usually a separate
garment, worn over a regula-
ton jacket suit. A few jackets
have capes attached, or retach-
able, but they are the excep-
tions that prove the rule.
Shorter capes are allowed to
swing free, while longer YER
sions have Sits for your arms,
so you can shop or drive with
out inconvenience. The fact
that most stores have them at
prices around $3.50 proves that
they will have an early spopu-
larity, so If you want one, be
sure, to buy it soon, so that
you can get your enjoyment
out of it before they become
too popular.
This Suit Typical J
We've sketched a suit Of the
most popular type. The plain
skirt has yoke front, and the
silk lined jacket is smart in its
own right, without the cape.
Arrow-finished Sits give your
arms q chance in the cape,
which is the approved three
quarter length. The suit is Of
a diagonal flannel, in gray,
blue or beige, and hold your
breath while I tell you the
price, which is only $1095. Do
not think the suit is cheap look
ing, however, for it is well
made, and has decided smart
ness.

Optimist
By ALINE MICHAELIS

The Good Intent
We are not tuned to perfect
things
Or flawless days on earth:
A false note mars the song life
sings,
A teardrop stains its mirth.
Our dearest plans can not come
true,
Our fairest visions fail,
And in all things we dream
and do
Some error must prevail.
And yet, how Godlike is our
power
To see the good intent.
To find, in each imperfect
hour, y
The perfect deed we meant!
Sometimes a child's uncertain
note
Is sweeter than the song
That, soaring from singers
throat,
Holds rapt a breathlesS throng
For perfect things we dare not
ask
On this imperfect sphere.
But through each faulty word
or task
We read the longing clear!
