THE STORY

IHE STORY
Tom Jordan, young New England
newspaper reporter in love with Jes-
sica Poole, is barred from becoming
an acknowledged sutton because of con-
ditions of her fathers will that her
husband must match her small fortune
with his own. To do this, Jordan has a
wild hope of wealth, from the salvage
Of a long sunken French corvette
To Doctor White, Jessica's guardian,
Jordan reveals his hope. The doctor
is skeptical, but for Toms sake, hope
full. Jessica tells them of an encoun-
ter she has with an ill-mannered sailor
and Toms ire is aroused. Two French
men, the comte de Corlay and his son
Robert, make their appearance. They
claim that an ancestor of theirs COM
manded the Fourquet (the name of the
corvette) when she sank, and left writ
ten record of treasure on board which,
they assert, as his descendants, is their
property. A French sailor, Sebastien,
| also knows of the treasure, and is seek
ing it.
After talking the matter over, form
of partnership is arranged between
Tom and the de Corlays to prosecute
the search. Jessica informs her guar
| dian that she has located the Fourquet
and by making a line fast to the hulk
can establish legal claim to salvage
They plan to do this early next morn
! ing.
| Robert warns Tom that Sebastien is
clever and INSCRIPTIONS. Tom, knowing
it was Sebastien who had frightened
Jessica, is more than eager to spoil
that Worthy's plans. He and Robert
reach an understanding to work to-
gether and divide what treasure may
be recovered. Knowing Sebastien will
be ION the job" at once they plan to
forestall him.
Doctor White makes arrangements
for professional diver to go down to
the hulk OF the Fourquet the next
day. Early in the morning, in a dense
fog, the doctor and Jessica row out to
the wreck. The diver fails to appear
Doctor White urges Jessica to post
pone her attempt to reach the Four
quet, but the girl is insistent.
| JeSsica dives and attaches the re-
CURED line to the Fourquet. Then she
| and the doctor are dunbfounded by
the appearance of Sebastien, with two
| companions. Doctor White tells him
they have legally established salvage
claim, but Sebastien believes he has
them at his mercy. The sound of an
approaching boat is heard. Jessica
feels, intuitively, that it is Tom Jordan
coming to her rescue.
The night before, Mike CASTILLO, the
diver, takes passenger, Sebastien, who
sees chance to wreck the diving gear
They are followed by Tom and Robert
who are stopped, however, when Sc
bastien drops fishing net overheard
enveloping the propeller. On their way
to the Corvette ledge they discover at
a landing, yawl which they recog-
nize, and stop to investigates

OUR NEW TAX

Despite the predictions of many, May Day saw
the inception of a retail sales tax in this state.
Unfortunately, both suits brought in the superior
courts seeking a restraining order contained tech
nicalites which did not permit of definite ruling
by the court on the constitutonality of the act,
and so some time must pass before know whe
Their the tax will continue to be enforced.
The tax is declared by many people to be a
nuisance taxi, an opinion with which we heart
lily agree, for the many exemptions and conditions
of the law make the evying of it task requiring
much time and figuring, well as expense
In principle, however, we think that this tax
will meet with the approval of consumers, and
that after fair trial it's merits will be apprec-
ated One of it's outstanding advantages is that
when we pay the tax know definitely that each
cent is actually tax revenue and is not pocketed
by the retailer, be done with indirect taxes
The most lamentable feature Of the tax is that
we will have to wait two years before it's bad fea
lures can be discarded and only the best retained

CROP PROSPECTS BETTER

month has elapsed since the heavy frost the
first of April, and each day growers report that
prospects for good soft fruit and early apple
crop are improving No more encouraging news
could be found, and while there have been few
light frosts during the past week, nipping little
fruit here and there the outlook is certainly
brighter than seemed possible earlier in the year
There is every reason to believe that this sea-
son will mark the turning point toward better
times for the fruit industry, especially in this val
ley. In other parts of the Northwest heavy frosts
have killed good deal more fruit during the past
week, and with light crop over the entire coun-
try for the past few years, growers should receive
better than average prices for their produce

WOMEN'S CAMPS
TO Be RESUMED
Educational Welfare Work
for Unemployed Cared for
1900 Last Year.

Educational camps Cor unemployed
young women, another Of Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's ideas OF welfare re-
lief. will be re-established this Sum-
mer and Fall in connection with the
new work-relief program.
Some 1900 women were given food,
shelter and educational opportunities
at % Of these camps last year in 26
States and the District. On the
strength of this record. Aubrey w
Williams, acting ?. Z. r. A. admin
istrator, has authorized a resumption
of the program for a period of six
weeks to two months.
The camps will be established &C
cording to individual programs to be
adopted by each State. In the Dis
trict of Columbia, for instance, Com
missioner George E. Allen, works
progress administrator, will cooper
ate with officials of the Board of
Public Welfare and local educational
and labor organizations. Two camps,
one for white and the other for COL
ored, were inaugurated here last year
Win encouraging success.
Seek Use Of Buildings.
Wherever possible, the free use OF
college or other public buildings are
to be obtained. The women, who
will be taken from public relief rolls
or from relief families. will be segre-
gated in the camps by age groups.
Girls from Is to 20 will form one
group, while women between the ages
of 20 and Is will form another. A
camp of suitable size, Williams stated.
should comprise 100 members.
Only three members of the staff at
any camp may be obtained from out
side relief rolls. All other staff men,
bers must be qualified persons on
relief.
The educational program will go
outside the strictly academic branches
to include the social sciences, stress
ing social and economic household
management, health education and
cultural work in creative arts.
Medical Aid to Be Given.
Medical and dental treatment will
be given the women requiring it.
Seventy-five per cent of the women
at the camps last Summer gained
weight under the srigid outdoor life
and health routines. At the end of
the term it was reported that 20 per
cent of the students were placed in
jobs.
From the point of view of class
room discussion of social and eco
nomic questions the officials planning
the program suggest that the women
Of different occupational backgrounds
be taught separately. The following
groupings we're suggested: Industrial
and lower-paid store employees; do
nestle workers, Office workers and
higher-paid store employees and pro-
feSSional women.
Mrs. Roosevelt, it was understood,
interested the Government in an ex-
perimental camp-school of this ma
ture in New York State last year and
succeeded in getting her ideas incor-
porated in the 1884 relief program.

EMIGRATION URGED
IN REPORT ON LANDS
Poor Farm Areas Should Be
Left, Research Group
Declares.

Encouraging of emigration from
areas of the United States which
showed low plane of living in pre-
depression years and high proper
ton of population now on relief, Is
urged in a statement by the Study
of Population Redistribution, Wash
ington research organization, operat-
ing under auspices Of the Wharton
School of Finance and Commerce,
University of Pennsylvania.
The statement is based on investi-
cations by Prof. Carter Goodrich of
Columbia University, director of the
study; by Bushrod w. Allin and
Marion Hayes of the study's research
staff. Their findings have Just been
released through the University of
Pennsylvania press.
Population movements in the coun-
try from 1880 to 1894 have been to
the worst farming land in the coun-
try, to areas which should be sending
out migrants rather than receiving
them, DR.. Allin says in the report.
During the industrial prosperity of the
1920's, the surplus population of poor
farming regions drained of to the
factory towns, it is stated.
