(NeW York Times. ]


 The whole world from Angmagsalk to Natal will applaud the recognition of Mrs Lindberghs part in the circumnavgation of the North Atlantic and the earlier flight from Washington to the further shores of the Pacific The distance travelled is considerably greater than line of lowest latitude around the globe. The achievement is more remark able in that the whole range of temperature was endured and every variety of weather. Neither the Tropic of Cancer nor the Equator stayed the flight southward, nor the Arctic Circle bar entrance to the frigid
 Children in the schools would find it an en- joyable adventure in geography to follow the course Mrs Lindbergh took with her husband and so be- come acquainted with the peoples who live these coasts and countries back of them, their habits their arts their crafts their industries their com merce, their schools their means of communication with the rest of the world Four continents thirty one countries and colonies were visited in the 3O- 000mie flight The earlier voyage across the Pacific to Japan and China would furnish an inviting op- portunity to carry the imaginations of pupils the rest of the way around the globe Mrs. Lindbergh would thus be not only airplane "communica- tions officer and navigator but incidentally a teacher of geography The of the flights should be marked on the map in every school room. The boys already have their circumnavgator. The girls now have theirs. Stays all the fair young planet in her hands"
 With such communication as these flights por- tend it will be longer be true, if it was when Tennyson said it century ago, Better fifty years of Europe than cycle of Cathay." Mrs Lindbergh has performed service as deserving of the medal, which has heretofore been awarded only to men, as any of the nine men who have received it. Her geography is not like that of the geographers described by Swift, who

A 0OO,OOO-CAR YEAR.

Following the annual automobile shows last month in the larger Eastern cities heads of that industry in Detroit checking over responses from the exhib- tions forecast sales for this year at about 30000OO This is approximately 50 per cent ahead of 1883 and is larger than any 12-month period since l930 January production a sel-out and this has extended through both February and March and of the larger units of the industry report orders ahead in sufficient quantity to keep them working at a capacity rate at least up to May.
 The pickup in business appears to have been general. Rural sections have revived considerably and with them the smaller communities that were hard hit during the depression Scores of small town dealers have doubled and tripled original orders in spite of the fact that many have yet received with which make retail deliveries.
 The result of the improvement in the industry is in the increasing payrolls in Detroit where the slogan put more to work" which has been emphasized by the Administration and the Pres- dents emergency recovery program, has become an accomplished fact. Detroit plume itself as active recruit with its automobile and affiliated lines reporting at the end of January a payroll roster of 245,000. This was an increase of 76OO0 or 30 per cent year ago This month has witnessed continuation of the expansion in em- ployment. Here is percentage mark for several other industries to shoot at.

THE GROWTH IN DEBT.


 The Bureau of Census presents as a part of the decennial census public debt and taxation @ summary of the gross public debt by character and of the gross debt less sinking fund assets covering the 48 States, 3,062 counties, 1660O cities towns, villages and boroughs 12S,661 school districts 19- 769 townships, and 26,430 other civil dvisions-or a total of 194630 political units having power to incur debt. This summary is preliminary and subject to revision
 The gross debt reported for 1892 represents all of the public indebtedness of every character of States, counties, cities, and all other subdivisions with power to incur debt and amounted to $19- 6845770oo or an average of s158lO for each person In 1922 the total gross debt of States, counties and all other subdivisions amounted to $10255- 458000 or average of $9432 for each person. In 1912 the corresponding gross debt amounted to s4,S79,079000, average of $4511 for each person.
 The gross debt of the Federal Government on June 30, 1892, amounted to $19 ,487 0l0000 or an average of S15612 for each sperson; on June 3O 1923 it amounted to s223 689 OOO or an average of $200l1 for each person; in 1913 it amounted to sl,l9304S000 or average of $1226 per person

CRAZY?, LIKE A FOX.

Maybe it is just a base islander and there's probably nothing to it, but it has a reasonable sound Anyhow they saying that the reason North Carolina voted dry that the State is perfectly satisfied with it's mountain moonshine industry and does not wish it disturbed The mountaineers, so the report runs, have developed unexpected business ability and they have profitably distributed their product not only at home but rather widely abroad
 Revenue and Prohibition agents have tackled the problem of mountain moonshine in vain. Whis- key making in the Southern Alleghanes is an hereditary art--it has come down from father to son, and the women folks often watch the trails They believe they are engaged in perfectly legiti- mate enterprisce and that the Government has no right to interfere, by much imposing and collecting a tax. The trouble is they back up this belief with singularly accurate rifle shooting
 Prohibition gave them a steadily expanding mar ket for their moonshne, they and their friends voted dry. As careful to point out, it may be a libel the fair name of the great Tarheel State, but after all you never can tell And after sample of a few of the newest blends and reading of the prices charged for the legal variety of liquor since repeal it is not difficult to get the North Carolina point.

 Damn you!" whispered Franh. Don Raouls teeth gleamed in amusement.
 "What oS Janice?" asked Greene. "The lady?" Ortega lighted one of his black cigarets. Blowing out a cloud of smoke he expanded his chest. "She will be treated quite gently" He smirked. "We have-ah elaborate plans for her enter tainment. Miss Kent has been brought here to play the most impor- tant role of her career. Here she will be the Daughter of Ich-Kin, the Sun Cod"
 Will they hurt herr" Greene whispered.
 Smoke from his cigaret trickled from his nostrils. He shook his head. No. Fortunately her blond hair makes her a most important person. Ahkin here" His shoulder twitched toward his Indian compan- ion. "-saw her picture some months ago in some old newspaper wrappings 1 had put around a ship. ment made him."

 Brown further said the May 19 meeting was called to discuss the Post Office Departments effort to obtain passage of the McNary- Waters bill in it's original form which would have permitted the Postmaster General to award con- tracts by negotiations, and also to see. if under the law enacted, any relief could be afforded to passen- ger carriers who had no mail con- tracts.
 On June IA, the former Post master General said the operators reassembled and submitted Hist and recommendations for the ex- tension of the air mail service with view to participation in this service by air transport operators engaged exclusively in the passen- ger and express service"
 The recommendations were re- ferred to the Comptroller General, Brown said, to determine how far the Post Office Department could go in granting extensions to exist ing routes. Brown said the opera tors subsequently, submitted sup plemental report which was placed on file and no further considera- ton was given to it.

FRANK observe. him closely, watchfully. The man was not tall, but his erect carriage gave him the appearance of having a singular stature. His semi-nude body was al most emaciated, but 1.-the muscles rippled across his chest and abdo- men. The shoulders bespoke a smooth power. A nasty man to han dle in a scrap.
 His face was queerly fascinating, arrogant with a lofty imperious- ness; the lips were finely moulded. The. eyes contained within their depths glitter of fanatic fire, an i'm personal cruelty, the savagery of zealot.
 He made a gesture with his hand, and Ortega stepped forward. The big man licked his lips. smiling slightly.
 q am to tell you" Don Raoul be- gan, what is in store for you" He eyed Grahame maliciously, and pointed to the Indian who had com handed him to speak.
 "He is Ahkin. the head priest, and is the living representative of Cana. zotz, the Bat God, who serves Yum Chac the rain God and the most i'm, portant of all. The Bat tears off the heads of living men and devours the torn-out heart and blood of his victims. A pleasant custom that has survived the centuries in this coun. try.
 Tomorrow. before the temple on the pyramid. you and your friend will assist in this rite. You will feed the god. He wants me to ask you which is of higher rank in your land; there is matter of prece. dence involved, you know" He paused and looked expectantly at Grahame.
 Grahame drew a deep breath. Since he had heard Greene read Langton's last message. he appreci. ated most keenly the hopelessness of their situation. He knew that noth. ing short of a miracle would prevent their being taken to the pyramid

 W into the sea-" said Frank. "I wonder =. have it." he exclaimed. That cenote is part of an under. ground river. He dropped the bottle in there, and it foated out to sea. l yuess they killed Billy all right. May be the bottle was on him when they threw his body over the pyramid. What a way to diel"
 He threw himself upon one of the stone benches. Their situation looked hopeless. If a man. resource full as Billy Langton could not sur rive in this place, there seemed small chance of their getting out alive. His throat ached as he thought of Janice. He clenched his fists in frenzy as he realized how impotent he was to help her.
 The cell was dark with evening when their guard returned. There were others with him. The cell door swung open. Two armed natives stepped within; a third followed Goaring a tray of tortillas and a jug fl water
 Grahame stood erect with anger IS he saw the next man to enter. Clad in white European garments, a cruel smile on his lips, stood Don Raoul Ortega.
 He smiled suavely. Good after noon, my friend. We meet again ill more favorable circumstances"
 Grahame smiled coldly. q trust your arm is better"
 You" Ortega spoke a word that caused the American to flush deeply. and step forward.
 The big mans hand dropped to his guns butt.
 "No!" exclaimed a voice from the doorway.
 The tone was quiet, but Ortega seemed to shrink yisi5ly. He nut tered under his breath and stepped behind one of tha guards.
 With some surprise Frank peered toward the doorway. The figure Of an Indian stood there, simply clad. and armed only with a knife. His dark face, made darker by the ob- scurity, was los completely visible
 AS he stepped forward Frank drew in his breath sharply. Those falcon eyes, that vulturine nose, were those of the man he had last seen running from the car on that lonely Encinada road. It was the face that he'd seen profiled on the frosted glass windows of Myberg's studio office.
