THE PLAN

TENN-OG stepped away and cool

was more than Curt cared to try.
He got down and crept along the
bridge on hands and knees, with
Paul behind him. Midway he
stopped, loosened piece of bark
and listened for the sound. Several
seconds later he heard the bark hit
against a rock and splash into the
stream.
The chasm, about seventy feet
deep, was not so abysmal as he had
thought; but for the MAJ who fell
into it those seventy feet would be
plenty, with rocks to crash on and
that underground creek to sweep
one away.
Joining Tenn-Og on the other side,
he lit another match and looked
around. He found himself in a large
irregularly shaped cave, warm and
dry and fully fifty feet across. Sh fits
like the entrance led off in dozen
directions, some straight back into
the mountain rock. others parallel
ing the face of the cliff. BY the
match fare he also noticed signs of
human occupancy.
In the Pickering light he glanced
at Tann-0p who was staring at the
snowshoes and fireplace; and on the

The Doctor Arrives.

The story of doctor who flew from Louisville
to save childs life is classic in the contemporary
annals of medicine, a modern counterpart of the
stories of country medicos dashing through snow
and wind twenty miles to save fe.t

physician twenty-five years ago, his baby die
from tonsl infection. He perfected technique in
the removal of tonsils in such cases.
Later on a to work with the doctor.
She heard him tell many times of the child he lost
and of the origin of his specialization.
The nurse married and came to New York and
had a child. Last Friday night the child six
months old, became afflicted with the same tonsil
infection which had carried away the doctors child
The nurse sent for the Louisville specialist
The doctor arrived by plane in time to save the
child This a mingling of science skill,
sentiment coincidence and long fidelity to a memory
and science
The old time country doctor driving horse
madly through the snowstorm seems, offhand touch
ed with more romance. The doctor himself drove
the buggy. The Louisville doctor was passenger
in plane
| Yet when into the modern picture are introduced
the emotions of the parents, the suffering of the
child the zeal of the doctor and the varied feelings
of the air passengers who travelled with him, the
old time of the dying seems no more sventful
or dramatic.

Tenn-Og shook hi, head. 1--WE get
out quick" He pointed to one of
the black shafts at their right and
indicated that it opened out on a
ledge near the assure.
"But suppose they'd plug that
opening up?" Curt asked.
THE other Klosohees didn't know
l. about it, Tenn-Og said. They
knew about the cave, they often
spent a night there or waited out a
blizzard; but they knew nothing
about the ledge opening. He and the
girl had found it accidentally while
exploring their home.
"In that case," Paul argued, they
couldn't trap us in here, partner.

City of the Future.
DAILY Journal of Commerce.)

In the eyes of the architect and the city panner
untitled for the requirements of modern living,
and they retard what the ideasts consider whole
some, healthy existence. They look to future
they have done for time-in which scientific,
directed planning and development will bring a
revolutionary change from the implanted, haphaz-
ard developed urban communities of today
What will the new town Of the age be
like? Here is conception of it,
1t will be scientifically located with respect to
transportation, industry and agriculture
Its population will be limited to the approx
mate maximum which live work and play
efficiently, economically, and well within its area.
1t will be planned in every detail down to the
last house and the view out of the windows of
that house. There will be no sums no dark
alleys, intersections where children and heavy
traffic meet, congestion overcrowdng, no
subways, towering skyscropers no houses
and no lack of recreation facilities In the new
town the spaciousness of the great estate will be
secured for all the residents without additional
Its growth will be definitely limited by surround
| ing it with wide belt of open green space for
agricultural and recreational use
Groups of these communities will form regional
cities with their centralized functions such as uni
versties, technical schools, theatres museums and
stadiums
Possibly day this vision will be realized
Certainly living conditions in large centers OF
population can be greatly improved.

protected by thicklet Of DEVILS

thorns.
The range was as good as he
could ask for, and down at the lake
shore the whole camp lay wide open
to their guns.
The stars had already paled and
were fading one by one.
Down at the cabin a man, a white
man, stepped out into the gray
dawn. looked around and started
down to the canoe landing. Curtis
fingers frightened on his rifle as he
watched the Russian.
At the lake headland to the east
a canoe doomed out of the gray mist.
Others followed it till presently ten
were strung along the shore. One
canoe nosed ahead of the others. In
the prov of it Curtis aching eyes
picked out small slim figure sit
ting proudly erect, and his heart
leaped. She'd come through safely!
With rifle out at ready he watched
the meeting between her and Karax-
han, and saw them start up the
path. While he waited, lingering his
rife impatiently, he was suddenls'
startled by throaty yelp from the
direction of the cave. Jerking
around, he saw five of the big honey
colored huskies filter out of a thick
ct and come Looping straight for the
knoll.
Tenn-Og dropped the leader with
a silent arrow, killing the dog in its
tracks. His next arrow struck
husky in the flank. 1t yelped,
whirled and bit at the dart. The
others took the hint and stayed back
a respectful distance, with furious
snarling and barking.
Down at the lean-to's several men
grabbed spears and came rushing
up the slope, thinking perhaps that
the dogs had brought prowling
grizzly to bay. Still LeNoir did not
show himself, and Siam-Klale was
more than three hundred yards from
the landing.
"Don't!" Curt whispered, as Paul
lined his rife at the sub-chief. Hes

simply closed the markets and forbade the sale OF

good smoking tobacco they had to pay Is cents for

them out!
Under ordinary circumstances a
bush-wise outfit like them would
hesitate about venturing into so
plain deadfall, but in the heat Of
a fight they probably would not stop
to weigh danger.
The idea intrigued him, largely be-
cause it would avoid heavy blood
shed. He hated to think of shooting
| into those men and killing as he
would have to kill to stop deter
mined rush. They were an admir-
able little clan. Besides. this fight
was not their fight but Karakhan's,
and the Russian would not be in that
charge. He would be hiding behind
others, letting others be victimized
in protecting him.
AS much as he wanted to try the
trap, he finally decided against it.
DACK outside, he explained to
- Tenn-Og that the cave was no
good, and asked him to show them a
better place.
The Indian took them down slope
fifty yards, worked over to the left
and brought them to little knoll
The spot looked ideal to Curt at his
first glance.

logs gave them fine cover; the slope

A Tool of Discovery.
(New York Herald Tribune.


The American Museum of Natural History plans
to mount Colonel and Mrs. Lndbergh's plane in its
Hall of Ocean Life in such way that visitors can
look from the gallery into the cockpits from which
its crew explored the aerial highway to the Far
East and their 29OO0-me pathway around the
fringes of the Atlantic. The visitors may if they
have the imagination for it, picture the leagues of
sea rolling and tossing beneath the pontoons Or
the great sweep of Greenland glaciers which the
planes occupants saw beyond the 'cowling They
can fancy, If they wish, what it must have been
like to ride in these cockpts through all the chances
and hazards and satisfaction Of exploration 1t is
flor that reason naturally that the plane finds a
place in the American Museums collection The
technical achievements of aviation are enshrined
with one notable and unhappy exception at the
Smithsonian, in Washington. But the airplane in
its special use as an instrument of geographical
discovery should be represented at the American
Museum which has been responsible for SO much
geographical discovery and which preserves other of
the instruments (Admiral Ferry's sledge for exam
pe) by which these victories have been won Other
airplanes such as that in which wilkins flew the
Arctic have perhaps achieved greater feats of ex-
poration; but the museum is to be congratulated

The plight of the Republican organization in Tn

for its efforts to insti courage and provide neV
for the c. Q. P Without abating iron
that work. it. nevertheless, takes time off to VOC
its disgust at conditions that prevail in the part
circles.
Under the caption New Blood for the G. O. p,
it recently commented editorially follows:
The somewhat vague demands of The
Saturday Evening Post for a new Re-
publican Party doubtless echo the feelings
of hundreds of thousands of Republicans
throughout the country. Torn apart by the
selfishness of the extremists, the Republican
Party today presents picture OF helplessness
verging on hopelessness. The old leaders
whether of the right the left wing
seem to be blind They cling to machine
posts in the illusion that they are still
the party's leaders, unaware that their
followers have deserted them.
Why this wholesale detection? Because
of the realization by the great mass of the
voters that the need of the day is for
new blood The old leaders neither see
nor admit this They say cynicaly that
the OBJECTIONS are merely temporary and
that as soon as the New Deal has col
lapsed the Old Guard of the Republicans
will have its innings They point out that
they survived the Bull Moose revolt and
drove the La Follettes and other Progressiyes
out of the party Therefore they are
TO live forever.
They have confused themselves with the
party. and result risking double
suicide. They may end their own political
lives They will surely kill the Republican
Party if they persist in their old ways.
Where there is no vision the people
perish" Substitute party for people
and you have the present condition of the
Republican Party
New blood offers the only hope. Under
leadership the party can reorganze and
prepare to take on its shoulders the burden
of constructive criticism which is indis-
pensable in party system of government.
If the leadership is courageous and effective
and the causes which it champions vital
the Republican Party may well live for
ever" But if the die-hards continue in the
saddle, they must resign themselves to the
fate that overlook the Federalists century
and quarter ago. The partys life rests
in their hands
There is a need for an aggressive opposito
