Thieves Make Hurried Exit Doavn
Lake Bank After Yell, Leave Loot

A blood curdling yell from a
bedroom window sent three would
be thieves rushing pell-mell down
the lake bank and across the snow
covered ice Thursday night, leav-
ing a small pile of loot behind.
Joe French, who lives OH the
lake front at Minnesota and
Fourth streets, let out the yell af-
ter he had been aroused by Mrs.
French who was up about II p. m.
and noticed the garage door was
open a few feet. Listening at the
window, Mr.. French heard men
moving about inside the garage.
After shouting to them to get
out of there" he saw them scram-
BILE over the fence and down the
hill in the moonlight. In their
haste, one fellow jumped the fence
and sprawled in the snow.
Piled just outside the garage
were fur robe, an inner tube and
two tires which belonged to Mr..
French and were hanging in the
garage. Also left behind was a
five gallon gas can winch tis
thieves evidently brought with
them but had not had time to fill
from the tank Of the French car.
Mr.. French said the visit cleared
up a mystery as to why his car
has been using more gas than
seemed possible this summer and
fall. j,
Sheriff L. J. Kise was called
Friday morning and had no diff
Guilty tracking the men onto the
lake but there the trail ended as
the lake was covered with water
during the rain in the night. Sew
eral clues as to the identity of the
callers were left behind, however:
Mr.. French purchased box OF
shotgun shells Friday and is
ready for any more visitors who
visit his garage without first call
ing at the house.

OVERCOME WHILE
PUTTING CHAINS
ON AUTOMOBILE

C. E. Griffen of Lamberton had
a narrowing experience one morn
ing recently while in the garage
putting chains on his car. The
motor of the vehicle was running
and he was lying beneath the car.
The door of the garage was open
but the fumes were deadly be-
meath the vehicle and he fell in a
faint as he entered his home. He
recovered a short time later.

SYNOPSIS

Following his fathers criticism of his
Idle life, and the withdrawal of fnan-
cial assistance, Hal Ireland, son of a
wealthy banker finds himself practical
ly without funds but with the promise
OF situation in San Francisco, which
he must reach, from New York, within
definite time limit. He takes passage
with cross-country auto party on a
share expense" basis. With five other
members of the party, an attractive
girl, Barry Trafford; middle-aged Giles
Kerrigan; Sister Anastasia, a nun; and
an individual whom he instinctively
dislikes, Martin Crack. he starts his
journey. Barry's reticence annoys him.
To Kerrigan he takes at once, but he
distrusts Crack. He finds his intimacy
with Kerrigan ripening, and makes q
little progress with Barry Through a
misunderstanding, at a stopping place,
Hal is directed to Barry's room, instead
of his own. Barry drops her unfriendli-
ness and they exchange kisses. Next
day he tells her he loves her. She an
ewers that she mustn't love him, with
out giving any reason. Crack brutally
insults Kerrigan. Hal forces him to
apologize abjectly, and his feeling Of
enmity and disgust toward Crack Is
intensified.

BUYER DELUDED
OFTEN BY COLOR
TEST FOR FRUIT

The housewife who bends over a
fruit stall and picks brightly col
ored oranges in preference to the
paler type is wasting her time, for
the color of the fruit has no bear
ing on the nutritive content, reports
a bulletin from the Department of
Agriculture. There was time, the
writer remarks, when a farmer who
produced a crop of pale oranges
could not expect to receive as high
a price for his yield as his neighbor
whose fruit grew in brilliantly col
ored skins, but scientists took the
situation in hand and developed a
plan to outwit mother natures ap-
parent lack Of interest in the pale
fruit. The treatment, which is a
highly technical process, embraces
the use of ethylene gas.
The action of ethylene gas on pale
fruit tinged with an unripe green
shade is best described as fore
ing or Fastening of the process
which changes tree foliage from
green to brown in autumn. The
passing of time kills greenery in
most cases, and the process used on
fruit is simply a speeding up of the
change.
Ethylene has no effect whatever
on the acid-sugar content which is
the scientific test of ripeness in
fruit. Th~ Department of Agricul-
ture recognizes the ethylene gas
process as a legitimate trade prac-
tice for mature fruit. On immature
fruit, it's use is strictly prohibited,
however.

err hidden low to southwark, the
straight, gaunt line of the Union Pa
cific dwindling ahead to the hot horl-
ION, and the lone red-and-white pylons
of the air-beacons ready to police the
night.
The vigilant welcome of Barry's eyes
was quickest for the live things: the
red-headed, white-t tailed flash of wood
pecker drew her quick "Ahhh" of trib
ute; the fat-bellied little creatures that
scurried across the road with tremen-
dous haste but no speed, like small
mechanical toys, stirred her soft
chuckling; and she called Hal and
Kerrigan to admire the lonely wisdom
of the single kingfishers watching from
the telegraph line above the marshy
bitches. The mortality here was enor-
nous, the road continually patched
with torn fur and crushed feathers ;
and once a swift bird swooped in a
lovely arc to deliver his small, mortal
impact against Rasputin's hood; Bar

Hes dead, surely?" she said,
glancing backward.
"'Fraid So" said Kerrigan.
"I'll stop if you like" said Hal.
NO." said Barry sadly, "but it
seems such poor death for him"
The sun was lower, but it was still
blazing hot when they rushed by the
little group that walked shadeless,
| long stretch of the road. The farmers
| overalls were new, his shirt white; the
child asleep in his crooked brown arms
wore fresh dress, and the printed
pajamas of the two elder girls follow
ing were bright and clean. Halls
thought was of the meanness of hav-
ing raised that corridor of dust for
them to walk in; and as he turned
to speak it to Barry, Cracks indolent
voice came quickly to his ear Notice
the kid in his arms?"
"Yes" said Hal, with short, un-
welcoming nod; he hadn't thought of
Crack for an hour.
There was flat quality in Crack S
next speech, as if he had exhausted
the matters interest. 1T was dead,
he said.
Hal suddenly felt that Crack, if he
wanted to, could brighten him, and he
turned aside in quick anger to mutter
"D-n it, you don't know that"

after they had left Crack, as if what
he had said were personal to her; her
pursed lips lay unwillingly together
as If she tasted something turn bitter
in her mouth. Crack said nothing.
Hal tried again to capture the Ger.
tainty that his tainted hatred of Crack
was defined within the forgettable epi
sode of last night. 1t couldn't be a
slowly crescent thing, begun at the
journeys start. Crack was too insig
nificant. 1t must all be Halls own re-

out, so that he could barely hear her.

it now any more. Tonight I'll tell you,
my dearest-dearest: I promise I'll

He kept her hand for another in
slant of baffled happiness, after her
hold relaxed; then she leaned away,
turning toward the back and saying
quite coolly, "Kerrigan, did you like
that statue of Lincoln on the other
side?"
They talked or not, as the moment
was meant; but either way Hal knew
that Barry and he were more pro-
foundly together therein closeness

for more thrilling aspiration. Now
