deaf ears for Arizona had caught sight
of the frying-pan which contained the
rubber fapjack. 1t was completely
surrounded by Boy Scouts, who were
specializing loudly on whether or not
f1apjacks could really be tossed and
turned without the aid of anything
but gravity.
''You won't have any excuse to

There was no real need for Tony's

manipulation the hardy bit of imi-

pan, turned single or double somer-
sault as she willed, and was caught
again with neat exactness. A chorus
of Obs and Abs resounded from the
awe-stricken Boy Scouts. whose cries
of delight attracted people from quite
a distance. until presently Arizona was
the center of a fascinated crowd. Int

adoringly until familiar voice at his
elbow brought him up sharp.

If one were to judge by the full

Tony's promise to produce something
new and sensational in the way of

seriously - at least by the publicity

wander off the main trail again, Bill,
I promise"
Meanwhile Tony Spratt, the hand
some young son of tho house, was
standing lost in moody contemplation
of what was probably the most per-
feet camping outfit extant in Amer
ica. There was a tent on a mat of
brilliant artificial grass. and before
this lay a tumble of camping acces-
sories, all in sore need of assembling
Tony looked at them hopelessly and
then shot an apprehensive glance at
some of the more experienced sales
men at the far end of the department.
1t would never, never do. Tony re-
fected, to call upon them for help.
But how on earth did one put these
confounded things together? 1t was
not only annoying, it was humiliating
to be so helpless!
Sinking into a comfortable folding
armchair, Tony stared gloomily at
camp stove on which rested frying
pan, which. in turn held the craven
image of a large rubber fapjack.
Suddenly the name on the stove
caught his eye. "The Great Little
Western" He gave an inward groan.
Arizona! Why had she been so cool
toward him lately? Had she seen those
wretched pictures of himself and
Rosamond Van Staar, which his mother
had allowed the newspapers to print?
Why on earth did editors insist on
running confounded captions like
Society Romance?" And if Rosamond
was beginning to take it seriously
there was no one but his mother to
blame, and Arizona must not ..
Arizona was at the very moment
telling herself that she must not, :"
because after leaving Mr.. Rumple-
meyers Office she had, perforce, to
pass through the Sports Goods De-
partment. But she was doing it hur-
riedly, with downcast eyes! Perhaps it

was because of this that presently she
found her progress blocked by tall,
absolutely immovable, masculine form.
'Hey. where do you think you're
going?" Tony asked.

me to keep put of here and l got to

wide, brilliant smile flashed out daz-
zlingly.
Il kind of hoped it was," she ad-
mitted. Il wanted to look this outfit
over"
Come inside the tent" he said
eagerly, II want to show you some
thing" Arizona followed and the flap
fell behind them.
"Well?" said she. what was it you
wanted to show me?"
This" said Tony, kissing her. For
long second Arizona did not move.
Her eyes were veiled with some stub
bornly-fought emotion. and it took
her an unconscionable time to find her
voice. Then. drawing away from him
slowly, she spoke in a low tone.
That wasn't fair! she said. Her
very lack of anger abashed him more
than any tirade could have done.
ARIZONA. I do love you so!' said
he humbly. Il couldn't help it. For
give me! Don't you think you can
learn to care for me - some day?"
"Well." said Arizona, for once
avoiding his eyes. ''for tame critter

direction, she vanished.

a voice which he strove to make
business-like, "as l was saying, this

''I'll say it might" Chester agreed
heartily. WHO is she?" Rumplemeyer

coldly, she's just one of our clerks"

he held out his hand. Sorry you're

It was not until several moments
after Chester's clustering departure
that Mr.. Rumplemeyer found himself
sufficiently calm to send for Arizona.

clouds, entered at the same moment,
and Arizona stood bathed in it as

A NEW ANESTHETIC

Baltimore surgeons were impressed
recently with the results obtained through
the use of new anesthetic called evipan
1t is administered by means of hypo-
dermic needle.
According to the report, a patient to
undergo a serious operation was given an
injection of evipan introduced into vein
in the bend of his elbow. He was entirely
unconscious in 20 seconds Six minutes
after the operation was completed he re-
gained consciousness and got off the oper.
ating table by himself. After drinking
glass Of water he called for good big
breakfast
The new anesthetic seems highly de-
sirable to use, because of it's speedy effects
and the fact that it does not cause nausea
when the patient revives, as ether usually
does.
Evipan is a German invention, and
will be manufactured by New York
chemical company. Extensive tests will
be made, however, before it is placed on
the market. If it proves as efficacious as
the Baltimore report indicates it to be, it
will be great boon to millions of suf-
ferers

REGULAR ARMY RESERVES

Because World War veterans are
military service, General Malin Craig, the
Army's Chief of Staff, recommends the es-
tablishment of large new reserve of
fighting men, available in time of emer-
gency.
General Craig points out that the reg
ular army is merely the nucleus of war
time establishment which must be created
in the event of major conflict. How
ever, it must keep alive a knowledge of
the military art and the progressive de-
velopment in tactics and weapons, provide
the defensive garrisons for our outposts in
the insular possessions and the Panama
Canal and Should be capable in war of
throwing up protective wall under cover
of which our citizen forces can be
modified"
The War Department, he discloses,
has plans for an enlisted reserve, ultimate
ly to create trained civilian army of
100000 men. The soldiers would enlist
in the regular army for five years, three
in active service and two in reserve. Dur
ing this latter period, they would be avail
able instantly, upon call.
The American military force is de-
scribed by General Craig as one designed
solely for defense and unsuitable for ag-
gression. Foreign armies, he says, are
ready for instant use within or without
the borders of the country, but in the
United States there exists an unfinished
and IAN unassembled machine, some of
whose parts are not in existence
We have given above summary of
General Craig's suggestion to establish a
reserve, contained in his annual report for
the fiscal year ending last June. We do
so in order that readers may understand
the ideas of the military staff in under
taking the planning of proper defense
for the United States. This, we think, is
important because of growing belief in
some minds that the United States spends
entirely too much money on small army.
Quite frankly, we have not made study
of the question but it is generally admit
ted that the total money spent in this coun-
try is not the basis of comparison with
other countries where there is nothing like
the same cost per man.
