Travel Tales From EperyWhe

A MANS love grows stronger

worthy of the name. The engineer

make you love a woman more,
and can make a resolutely re-
tired sailor go back to the sea.
From the south comes an en-
velope by the hand of Captain
Rob, postmarked Baja California.
He's scouting around Guadalupe
and Cedras Islands, getting the
feel of the sea again. The sea
holds him as a girl might hold
another man, against reason and
common sense, friends and all
else. He cannot say what the lure
is (no sailor canD whether the
quiet loneliness, the friendly wind,

When the Captains mail drifts
in, it means that he's found no
one to talk with; so he sits in his
cabin, rocking at anchor in some
out of the way port, and scratches
a greeting that's mostly legible.
Have you told about the

British ship to sail round Cape

her down on her side. No, she

they cut away the tops'l sheets to

SPIDER FORTRESS

THE Black Tarantula is an

World who is governed by inter

lady has a very original way of
building her home.
OF course she really lives in a
hole in the ground. But that hole
hasn't just plain everyday look
like a gopher hole, dear no! This
clever lady builds a fortress
around the edge of her under
world home.
She takes little sticks and quite
good sized stones and arranges
them in a circle, then she stacks
them high enough to hide herself
from passers-by.
When the job is finished, the
spider retires behind the stone
wall, and WATTS The warm day

this huntress behind the wall.
Then, out of the weeds a locust
or some other tasty fellow comes

Now, before the locust can say

YOUNG COURAGE
DANIEL BOONE. Soy SCOUT

the boy learned from earliest
childhood that when he went 20

est he must not linger there, or
lose his way.
1t Is no wonder that the boy
knew early in life all about the
ways. sights and sounds Of the
forest. He. like any other boy In
such a settlement. had TO know
about these things; they were as
much a part Of his education as
writing and reading are a part of
yours.
THE very games the children
played in these settlements
were lessons in alertness and
self defense. They wrestled no
baby play, but the rougher the
better. They threw knives and
tomahawks at targets. and they
learned TO handle a gun.
To these boys a gun was no
toy, but a serious weapon.
Meat was obtained by hunting
alone, and all boys were taught
to shoot as soon as they were
big enough to hold rife In case
of an Indian raid, each boy was
assigned to a certain position in
the fort, where he did his best
to hold off the Indians.
The business Of hunting and
exploring was so much a part OF
the boy Daniels life that he even
built a little log cabin for him
self ont away from his home
From this point he went on trips
into the wilderness. and "eamped
out" in a land where life IN
the settlement would have been
"roughing it" for the boys OF to-
day!

Talcahuano for hospital care; he
was his own ships doctor, with
medicine chest-and stubborn de-
termination. When the mate could
stand it no longer, he put into
Rio. Captain Davies went ashore
to a hospital, and next day he
died one of the last masters
of wind ships.
From Rio to London - 80 days
through storm and contrary
winds. Food grew short. It'came
to a question of catching rats for
soup, or starving; the crew caught
rats. When the battered Monk
barns finally entered the Thames
boats shrieked their sirens, men
along the shore gathered to stare
at a ship which had outlived her
time.
AN INTERESTING THING
about great poets is that often
they don't look like poets at all.
John Masefield, old-time sailing
man and Englands poet laureate,
stopped in San Francisco on his
homeward journey. Tall, hale and
ruddy-cheeked, he could be taken
for nothing save an English
gentleman but for the con-
templative, far away look in his
eyes.
Kipling, he said, did not write
much during the last few years
because there were so many other
things to do. Life is so short L. .
the public shouldn't demand that
a man write forever. Writing is
hard work." Masefield doesn't be-
lieve in the destruction of any,
thing the social structure or
in the arts. Anyone can smash,
but to create is the thing" An

to the House of Representatives that
year, the Democrats won only l65 seats
to the Republicans 268.
That was in November, 1928. TWO
years later, in 1880, there was no pres
idential election by which to make
comparison. But in the House OF Rep
resentatives the Democrats won a ma
jority, 2l9 to the Republicans 2l4. In
short, an immense Republican victory
in 1928 became. two years later, mar
row Democratic victory. The question
this year is whether the same thing
can happen in the opposite direction.
In the present two-year tide in favor
of the Republicans. that party has
further to go than the Democrats had.
For the Republicans, 1884 was an all
time low--an all-time low indeed for
either party. The Republicans in 1884
won only l02 seats in the House of
Representatives to the Democrats 1922.
But it is apparent that in recent times
a political tide can run with a swift
ness that was not possible few years
ago. The causes for the faster tempo
include the loosening of party ties
which leads masses of voters to swing
from one side to the other, and an ac-
celeration wrought perhaps by the
radio.
Tide Changes Swiftly.
How swift the present tide is can be
realized by a look beneath the surface
of the Maine election. In Maine, in
1884, the Democrats won 2 of the
States 3 seats in the Lower House Of
Congress. This year the Republicans
won those two seats back, and won
them by large majorities. That per-
formance leaves no possible doubt that
throughout the country the Republi-
cans are certain to make extraordinary
gains in the Lower House.
