to weep a little; whereat Mcnamara

SWELL, that's his business. Nance
Belden escaped from San Quentin and
naturally he's interested in apprehend-
ing her. You were recognized by the
guard at the main gate two weeks be-
fore Nance escaped. Miss tanning, q
friend of the Belden girl, had visited
the prisoner that day, and since Miss
Lanning was the only visitor Nance
Belden had In San Quentin, naturally
she was suspected of carrying a letter
for delivery to the men who helped
Nance escape. You rode down to
Greenbrae with Miss Lanning, and she
slipped the letter to you, of course.

"You seem pretty sure of me, don't

"Well, Nance told me that you were

Miss Lanning last night to tell her to

"She kissed me and gave me q hun

Help for the Blind

For an invention that enables a
blind person to read any book or pa
per, the John Price Wetherill medal
will be awarded on May 10 to Robert
II. Naumburg, Of New York, by the
Franklin institute, Philadelphia. Mr..
Naumburg's invention, known as the
Visagraph, "reads" printed words for
the blind with the aid of a photo
electric cell, and embosses each let
ter, several times enlarged, upon a
strip of paper which passes under the
finger-tips of the operator. The ma
chine first was tried at Perkins Instl-
tuition for the Blind, W%atertown,
Mass, and is regularly used there.
It's advantage is that any printed ma
terial may be read, and the reader
need not know Braille, or any other
system for the blind. The charac-
tiers reproduced by the machine SIM
ply are magnified reproductions OF
the printed letters.-Literary Digest.

'The Pied Piper" and How
He Disposed of the Rats

In the Middle Ages, Hamelin, Ger
many, suffered terribly from a plague
Of rats and mice. In the spring of
1884. according to the story, a man
appeared, dressed in the varicOlored
costume Of strolling musician. and
told the city fathers that he could
free the town from the small pests. A
sum Of money was agreed on, recalls
a writer in the New York WOrld-Trib-
une, to be paid If the stranger could
fulfill his promise. He thereupOn went
through the streets playing on his
pipe, and the rats and mice streamed
out and followed the musician in a
long procession into the Weser, where
they all drowned, while the piper
swan to shore.
He then demanded his payment. The
city fathers demurred The job had
been too easy, they declared, to justify
giving out so much money. The piper.
angered, went away. He came back
on June 90, clothed this time as
hunter. 1t was Sunday morning.
and ali the citizens were in church.
The piper began blowing strange
melody, and all the children in the
town from four to fifteen years old,
100 in all, according to the saga. fol-
lowed him, dancing as they went.
When they reached the KOppenberg, a
hill not far from Hamelin. door
opened and all entered, except two
children, but one was deaf and the
other blind, and they could give no
clear report of what had happened.
One of the many interesting Renais,
sance houses in the town recalls the
vengeance of the deceived piper. This
is the neutrality-suspicious., the rat
catcher's house, a beautiful specimen
of German Renaissance 1t was built
In 1903 as part of the dowry of
young nOblewoman.

The dragon Is the most important
creature of Chinese mythology. A
fearsome creature. indeed. for ancient
writer's tell that II was a mixture Of

carp, eagle and tiger!
Yet the dragon did not spend his
time in wrongdOing. but had a very
busy life. To begin with, It was the
rain lord" and so controlled the
weather.
Five dragon gods had charge Of the
seasons and the divisions of the world.
A green or blue dragon presided over
the east and spring. q black dragon
over the north and winter, a white
dragon over the west and autumn,
while two dragons. red and yellow,
had charge Of the south and summer.
The red dragon presided over most Of
the season. but the yellow one took
charge for the last month.
The dragons regulated light and
darkness. and were lifegivers in two
ways. They saw that there was q suf-
ncient food supply. and also provided
herbs a. cures for different diseases.

Sudden Death Is Natural
for Big Game, SAYS Guide

Very few big game animals die of
old age or disease, though occasionally
some of them do meet death from such
causes in the late winter or very early
spring, in the opinion of a woods
guide, who related some of his OBJ
servatiOns on causes of death among
animals, In the Boston Transcript
According to this authority most an
imalS that are weakened by disease
or age fall easy prey to their enemies
before death can overtake them from
either of the former causes.
"A few times I have found dead
moose" he wrote. probably 1t had
become weakened from disease and
died from exposure and lack Of food.
Some years moose are found with large
Jumps on the body; Jumps such as rab
bits have, a tick we call it. That Is,
in the early spring. I doubt If many
big game animals die a natural death
during the summer and fall. When
deer or moose get to be so old that
they are not able to keep out Of the
clutches of such animals as may prey
upon them, they are hunted and killed
and eaten.

bears and wildcats after deer"

ADS. WILL TELL
BANKERS STORY
American Bankers Association.
President Announces Move
to Stimulate Newspaper
Advertising

NEW YORK.-Plans for stimulating
advertising by banks in promoting pub
bic understanding and confidence in re-
gard to existing banking conditions
and methods nave been announced by
r. s. Hecht. President Of the American
Bankers Association. as part of his
organizations activities in aid OF bust
ness recovery.
A general groundwork was prepared
through a nationwide survey OF adver-
Using by banks relative to their will
ingness to extend justitiable loans to
industry and trade. This. he said. re-
vealed that large number in all parts
of the country are pursuing aggressive
policies along this line and encourag-
ing their customers to develop forward
looking business plans. 1T is our aim to
aid in fostering this constructive atti-
tude wherever possible" he said.
The Theme of New Advertising
The associations Advertising De-
partment, Under the direct supervision
Of the general executive officers, has
prepared, at the headquarters in New
York City, an Informative advertising
series ,or the use of member banks in
the association to aid them in develop
ing in their own communities better
general public understanding regard
ing banking, mr.. Hecht said.
'The underlying theme of this adver-
Using is that sound banking is based on
helpful human relations and that It has
a unity of interest with the people of
it's community which binds them to-
gether with a common purpose" he
said.
I'VE are confident that If clear I'M
derstanding of this is brought home to
the people in all our banking communi-
ties, it will go far in restoring the pub
lie confidence which good banking de-
serves. A bank in which people de-
servedly believe is doubly safe. 1t is to
the public interest for the people to
have confidence in their banks.
The Place of Advertising
I'VE feel that bank advertising has .
special public duty to perform in this
connection under existing conditions.
The copy which will be supplied in the
service we have developed will not only
aid the individual bank in promoting
the use of its own facilities but is also
aimed to bring about with the aid Of
newspaper advertising clearer public
viewpoint regarding the essential part
It occupies in the life of its commune
IT,"
Mr.. Hecht emphasized in regard t.
the new advertising facilities being Of
tered to the members of the association
that they are not profit making VEN
ture and that there is no intention to
disturb existing advertising arrange
ments. the idea being that these insti-
tutional services shall supplement
rather than replace present plans. o.
that they will give assistance to mem
Der banks now lacking satisfactory A.
rangements.

No elsie of Lost Ships"
Located in Sar1asso Sea

In 1925 DR.. William Beebe headed
an expedition to the Sargasso sea
for the New York Geological So
city. His report firmly discredited
the belief that there Is an isle Of
lost ships" or a graveyard Of miss
ing ships" In the Atlantic. Or, as
legend and myth have 1t, that all the
wrecks and derelicts Of the Atlantic
eventually drift to this weedy spot
and here, tangled In a mat Of vegeta-
ton. slowly eddy round and round In
desolate assembly.
The SargassO sea, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. is the name given
to vast area in the Atlantic ocean
roughly between the parallels Of 20
and So north and the meridians 30
and TO- west, in which patches Of sea-
weed are common. These patches Of
seaweed are kept in a slow swirl by
the gulf stream and the equatorial
current. Columbus noted the abund-
ance of floating weeds in this region
In 1892. In his log may be found a
record of the occurrence Of the gulf.
weed. The name arises from the fact
that the Spaniards called this region
MAR de Sargazo," sea of seaweeds
"Sargazo" being Spanish for seaweed.
Doctor Beebe cruised for a month In
the Sargasso sea and reported that
at only certain seasons does the weed
collect into floating patches. and that
these are soon scattered by gales. He
also saw thin streamers of weed,
sometimes mile or two long, undu-
lating over the sea.
Whether the seaweed propagates In
the open sea or drifts In from the
coast Is disputed question. Although
no seeds or spores are formed In mid
ocean, it Is concluded that the weed
prOpagates at sea by vegetation for
many years, II not perennially.

Roman Numerals

Roman numerals chiefly used are I
for 1. V for 5, K for 10. L for 80, @
for 100, D for 500 and NJ for 1000.
Thousands are sometimes indicated by
drawing a line over a mineral; V with
a dash above 1t Is 5000. In combining
the symbols, a letter placed after one
Of greater value adds to 1t; thus XII
is II. A letter placed before one of
greater value subtracts from 1t, so that
Nv Is 4. When a symbol stands be-
tween two of greater value it Is sub
tracted from the second and the re-
mainder Is added to the first; XIV Is

senting a number, that In which the
symbol of larger denomination pre-
cedes is preferred. For 45, XIV Is
preferable to vi. Usage tends to IA

alternative is very long; 1t prefers TX
to VIII for 9, and MON rather than
MDCCCC for 1900.
