She had been married again, 1t

trian :. quite handsome. With

money. He taught me nice taste
in wine and how to handle Euro

seemed, had ended a year later in

delightful letters. I must read
them to you some time.
Kipp said, responding pleasant

light: There are so many things
I don't know about you Francine.'
She said: Are there? I wouldn't
say so. I would say YOU know
most of the important ones"
and" thought Kipp, perhaps
she's right. Marriage would never
be important to her or places
she had been. Only emitions are
real to her, and her books :. and
I'm not even sure they a1e."
He said: "How's the current

She shrugged. 1T moves along.

last one. which was very

I need the money and it gives

She said then: Jeff tells me

it to Halliburton. I think Kipp,
that I would have left New York
weeks ago if I hadn't wanted to
be around when your first novel

Kipp suddenly felt very friend
ly toward Francine and a little
remorseful. She had always been
very kind to him.. about every
thing. She had given him great
deal of tenderness and under
standing and some very pleasant
moments. In return, it occurred
to him that he had treated her
rather shabbily. He remembered
that they had often discussed his
book the fall before, that she had
been instrumental in getting
Hackett to take him on, and that
she had helped him lot with it
when she first came back. Then
he had dropped her completely,
not even ringing her up.
He said: you've always been
damned sweet to me, Francine.

you know that?"
She looked at him from be-

Francine's hand, thin and curl

devil, I ought to get up and walk
out on you"
But you won't"
I'm not so sure" Kipp turned
her hand over slowly and stared
at it. Funny" he murmured,
I'm not the least in love with
you any more. yet the touch OF
those warm, curled fingers OF
yours can raise cain with me.
See that you don't let them"
Two hours later they had dined,
there were no longer any cocktails
left in the crystal shaker and the
candles were burned so low that
Francine leaned forward and blew
them out. The room lay wrapped
in the thick, warm freight. The
roses on the mantlepiece were a
blur of tarnished gold. the gar
denias at Francine's slender
waist were crushed, their edges
slightly streaked with brown. CT
garette smoke curled in broken
blue arcs above their heads.
Kipp's smooth black one. Fran
cine's silky golden one.
Kipp was wondering why the
devil he didn't get up and leave.
He was perfectly aware that If
he stayed Francine would ex-
pect him to make love to her,.
that was what all this was for =.
the cocktails and the freight and
all this slow, languid conversation.
But he didn't want to make love
to her that is, maybe he did a
little. He had held her in his arms
a good many times in the past
and found it pleasant. quite de-
finitely so. But then everything
had been different then he
hadn't been married to Ann.
A little later he had not gone
and he was thinking that she still
used the same perfume and that
it was sort of heady without be-
ing at all sweet and suited her
perfectly. He was thinking that
she had a lovely skin . that it
was like the petals of those gar
denias. smooth and ivory-tinted
and always warm. He was think
ing that the sooner he got away
from her the better that this
sort of thing might have been all
right once but it was all wrong
now.
Francine's face, turned slowly
up to him, was blur Of white
with soft, sweet, shadoE. that
was her mouth.
He bent his head Ann slid
gently out of his consciousness E.
his mouth found Francine'S soft
and warm and yielding and
stayed there.
The telephone rang thinly, shat
tering the fragile stiffness, drag
ging their lips apart. Francine
said: I'll have to answer it or it
will keep on ringing"
Kipp said, "Of course" and let
her go out Of his arms with an
abrupt and surprising willingness.
He stood up, walked over to a
window and flung it wide open. It
had stopped raining and the night
air Smelt damp and pleasantly
fresh. Suddenly his head cleared
E. for a moment he had been
muddled. confused. But now he
was only angry with himself for
, being fool enough to stay when
he knew he should have left.
Thank heaven the telephone had
rung.
Behind him, FranCine said: at
wasn't anyone. just the operator
calling the wrong number" She
said then, when she saw he was
leaving: Must you go? It's still
comparatively early"
It wasn't, Of course. It was
o'clock in the morning. Kipp, who
always drove fast, was a gray
streak of speed through quiet, de-
serted streets. He drove slouched
forward over the wheel, his hat
pulled low over his eyes.

ATHLETICS

Success in athletics does not mean much to some, but should it not mean much to all? Modern ath- test of strength. It summons every faculty that a man possesses and tells it to go to work.
 It tells the eye to see straight. It says the same to the ear, and de- mands every faculty we possess, to be always active, and to be always ready to do the best possible. 1t warns that every organ of the body must be we'll taken care of. and kept in practically a perfect con- dition. So it not only strengthens the body but also drills the mind. What does this mean?
 Wrangell for this year has won the championship for southeastern Alaska in basketball.
 What does this mean? Wrangell is a small town. Out of the four or five of the larger towns 1t is per haps the fourth in size. This means that practically every youth has taken part in the games All these must have drilled and drilled so as to bring out the best in them.
 Only in this way, can we account for their success in basketball. So than, we say all honor to our Wrangell boys, and the town should be proud that such material grows up here.
 Success in athletic means physi- cal strength, a mind that can think quickly, and strength that can put into action it's best decisions. So we honor our boys with the best words that we possibly can sum mon. What should this mean to the town?
 Sometimes parents grieve that their home is in a small town and wish that they lived in larger plac- es where their young people can have more advantages. What condi- tions could be better than we have in Wra ngell? Good athletics stimu- lates both mind and body So our people can congratulate themselves that they have been wise enough to establish and maintain a school that the town can be proud of, and our young people can congratulate themselves that they are privileged to live in a place where so. much is done for education.
 So let the older people pledge themselves to do their part to make our schools better in the future than they have been even in the past.

THE TOWNSEND PLAN IN A
 FADE-OUT
lKansas City Timesl

(Kansas City Times)
 The admission by Dr. F. E. Townsend himself that his pension plan of $20O a month could be ap- piled at first only to those who were 75 or older is a terrific blow to this Utopian scheme. Dr. Town sends admission was made before House committee after an econo- mist he had offered as a witness in support of the pension idea had testified that the proposed 2 percent transaction tax would yield only 4 billion dollars a year, and put up living costs nearly II percent at that
 Dr. Townsend, in self-defense, says he hasn't deceived anybody. Perhaps not, deliberately or consci- the agitators for his fantastic pro- gram have said repeatedly that it would apply to all who were SO or above who met certain simple re- quirements. It has been said from the same source that even that age limit soon would be lowered and those several years under 60 brought within the magic realm of benefits. It has been promised, and without qualification as to time, that a percent tax on all business or money transactions would yield 200 billion year, with ever-enlarg ing revenues as the plan got it's stride and gained it's powerful and inevitable momentum
 The number of persons in the country who are 75 or older is ex- ceedingly small. On the basis ot years it would have to remain at that figure or even lower-consid- erably less than & million persons could receive payments. Yet to pro vide for them, according to testi mOny submitted in behalf of the Townsend scheme, would be to com pei everybody in the country to pay 10.6 percent more for food, cloth ing and other necessities and to double the ordinary costs of the en- tire Federal Government.
 People who have been able to maintain their balance in a time of stress, and especially the aged who are in genuine need of pen sions, will find it profitable to look to a sane security plan such as now is offered in the Administration program. The Townsend program stands condemned by it's sponsors.

BACKWARD R'S

Supposing you are getting out a handset newspaper-there still is one in Washington state and one in Sitka, Alaska, and after it is all printed you discover that half the over case r's are backward. If they ere upside down you could under stand it. But how could an get printed backward.
 That happened on the Sitka Ar "Owhead when Ritchie Loveioy started to get it out a few weeks ago. It got him down. He finally went through the cases and discov- cred that a lot of the r's were back ward This puzzled him for a long time.
 Finally he found out that the backward r's were relics of the old Russian letter which is an T in re- verse and some of the Russian type was mixed in with the other types.
 Both of the Northwest coast handset sheets are man and wife affairs. The Washington one is the Hoods Canal Courier, published at Hoodsport, 30 miles from Seattle.

Parachute Drops Machinery And
 Supplies Safely At Alaska Mines

Parachuting a 1000-pound diesel engine from an airplane above an Alaskan mine, Is one of the latest achievements of aviation in assist ing the prospector in pioneer coun- try, to say nothing of dropping dy- namite, carbide, canned goods, lum- Der, drill steel, meat, oil and in short everything but eggs into the heart of the frozen North, according to Clarence William Poy. mining engineer, of Valdez, Alaska. Mr. Poy presented paper on the use of air planes in Alaska mining, before members of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical En- ginners meeting for their 144th an nual convention in New York last week. and predicted that airplanes will be instrumental in 'repioneer- ing Alaska mining in double quick time.'
 Thrilling Experiences
 Thrilling experiences in getting supplies and materials to isolated mines frozen in and inaccessible except by air, were recounted by Mir Poy, who attributes the sue cessful operation of many such properties to the intrepid pilots of the North and the ingenious uses to which the airplane has been put.
 Many mining properties like ours were high in the mountains, " Mr. Poy said land since sky hooks were out of the question, we con sidered the airplane At the Big Four Gold Mines in this last year we have overcome our transporta- tion handicaps by the use of air planes. It has been found most sat isfactory for all-round freigltine and most of our supplies are de- livered in winter on ski-equipped planes bp pilots experienced in fly ing regardless of altitude or snow glare. These conditions are extreme ly tricky and may easily prove fatal to a pilot who, experienced though he may be, is not versed in this phase of flying
 During the past year more than
The Wrangell sentinel., 1935-03-22

sixty tons of mining machinery and supplies were transported to the m n ng properties by airplanes without any damage or loss, accord ing to MT. Poy The transporta- ton of eighteen tons of freight to the mine would have taken at least one season or about four months of good weather. at a cost of seven times more than that of airplane freighting. The eighteen tons were transported by plane in one week.
 Parachutes Used
 The diesel engine which was parachuted from a plane was dis sembled in four main pieces. Mat tresses were tied around each piece and a Russell parachute harnessed to it, care being taken that the load would hang with the desired end downward. The rip cord or release cable was tied to the plane Each parcel was dropped at an elevation of 300 feet and landed right side up. In less than two hours time. after the freighting of the diesel started, it was transported, ready to be set up, with no damage of any kind to the engine, and was in operation next day. The parachutes prevented the parcels from landing with m m [ Il m each parcel weighed from 25O to 400 pounds. The parachutes weighed from 25 to 30 pounds each. The cost for trans porting the diesel thus was less than II cents a pound. Tons of dy- namite, each wrapped in a burlap sack, were also dropped fro m planes. Other goods were put in 5 gallon oil cans, stuffed with hay, while drill steels were tied at the ends with burlap. Even diesel oil 21 barrels of it or 250 gallons-was dropped, with loss of only 30 gal Ions, from an altitude of 200 feet, Fifty gallon drums were used, half filled. Specially equipped airplanes | are used and the cost for plane freighting in the Valdez district, according to Mr. Poy, is from $60 to $8O a ton, or S5 to $1O ton mile.

MURDER AND DEATH ON TRAIL RESULT OF DRUNKEN ORGY
