 Attorney Skipitis told the people that the government was more in. terested in securing Marl rather than Wilma at the present time and that for this reason war clouds are looming between Lithuania ana Germany. The city of Marl is a seaport near the German frontier and would be valuable to Lithn- ania. The Germans, he stated have no location and use it princi- pally as a fishing port. Without this small city the Lithuanian na . ton Is lost for q seaport and IS placed at commercial disad- advantage. The speaker said that he believed that in good time Wilma will be returned.

r EGARDLESS Of danger, joey
~ worked beaverlike at his decep-
ton. The soup" did twice the work
of dynamite, and in two weeks he was
delighted to find that his own per-
sonal cache was heavier than the
amount Mesquite had borne away,
while the bag they were to share con-
tanned only slightly less.
But the strain was beginning to
tell on Joeys nerves Working in
cessantly. he was hollow-eyed and
pale from loss of sleep and excite
ment. Momentarily he feared that
he might have miscalculated the
length of time necessary to make the
trip out of the mountains and return
and that Mesquite would return un-
eXpectedly and discover him in his
act of treachery.
He'd hate to have to take the old
mans life, but there would be no
other course.
He determined the earliest day on
which he could expect the old prospec-
tors return and decided to bury his
gold on the day previously. On the
evening Of that day joey celebrated
by quitting his work just before twi-
light and gloating over his hoard be-
fore secreting it. The golden beams
of the setting sun played enticingly
on the reddish metal.
WEALTH, power, freedom glinted
w from the open mouth of the
sack, playing upon Joey's senses like
the songs OF the Lorelei. One more
charge -. and then he would bury
the sack! One more pound or so
of the metal for himself before he
would again start filling their sack.
Joey looked carefully down the hill
and the long valley before he entered
the tunnel. No sign Of him yet!
At the far end of the digging he
prepared to pour a small amount of
the powerful explosive over the fuse
which was protruding from a small
hole drilled in the wall Of the vein.
A stone. dislodged from the hill above,
fell into the mouth of the tunnel
startlingly, shatterins the deathlike
stiffness.
Joey's frayed nerves jumped. "Mes-
quite" he cried as he whirled to face
the entrance. The bottle, half-filled
with liquid death, struck sharply upon
the basalt side Of the shaft.
Two days later Mesquite recon-
structed what had happened. Poor
Joey!" was his epitaph. HE must
have worked hard for us, and then had
to leave an old codger like me the
lions share!" He reverently removed
his battered hat and a tear glinted
in his eye.

The officials leave the administration building, drive out to the end of the ramp in the Housatonio river, look over the ice, confer with records to determine if the ice is disappearing and then return to the office building.

SCHOOL HOUSE
 SHORTAGE NOW
Adequate Building EaciIi- ties Lacking to Some
 Million U. s. Scholars

Washington - (UP) - Nearly 100000 pupils in the United States are without adequate school building facilities, according to a survey completed recently by the National Education Association.
 Facilities for 2.7OO,00O pupils are required to replace condemned and temporary structures and to provide full-time accommodation for present enrollments, the sur vey disclosed.
 Purpose of the review was to assemble data in connection with proposed federal aid to school construction as a means of stim- ulating employment of men in the heavy industries as we'll as pro- viding sanitary and safe housing for children.
 The survey covered, in whole or part, 31 states and the District of Columbia.
 It was found that school-house construction has Jagged to about 25 per cent of it's normal rate, and that the sharp construction, decline was aggravated further by
