What Little Miss Swiftly Saw.

V you sometimes gain knowledge
" at the price Of your own suf-
fering. You sometimes gain
knowledge at the price of the
suffering Of others. Up in a certain
pasture young Fox was gaining
knowledge, most important knowl-
edge, through the suffering Of one
whom she regarded as one OF her
greatest enemies. 1t was young
Hound. He was caught in a cruel
steel trap. He was caught by one
forepaw. The trap had been hidden
in little path, and it had been set
by the Dogs own master. 1t nad
been set to catch that young Fox.
The trap had been fastened to q
small log or drag. This had caught
in the bushes when the Dog tried to
drag it away, and so he was held a
prisoner there. For while he
yelped. Then he whined and whin-
pered Numbness had come into that
paw, so that he did not suffer as
much pain as at first, although the
paw had swollen. But If he did not
suffer much pain, he suffered more
fright. He had been frightened to
start with. But the fright increased
as he realized how helpless he was.
What had happened to him he could
not understand. No sir, he couldn t
understand it at all.
Now Little Miss Swiftly, the young
Fox for whom that trap had been set,
didn't understand it any more than
did the Dog. However, she had one
advantage. She knew that right at
that spot where the Dog had been
caught she had herself been filled
with suspicion that something was
wrong and so she had gone around.
She had left the path. Otherwise
that dreadful thing would have grab
bed her as 1t had grabbed the Dog.
She also had found the man smell
around and now she had feeling
that this dreadful thing that had
caught the Dog had something to do
with that man smell.
All the night long that Dog lay
there a prisoner. Now and then he
whimpered and whined. The young
Fox came back during the night from
time to time and watched, and as she
watched she wondered. And little by

Brings Radiant Beauty With One Washing!

glorious, billowy lather. 5 times more
lather than soap in hardest water.
Lather so neutral being neither
acid nor alkaline it is ideal for
either oily or dry hair. You rub it
briskly into the hair, rinse thoroughly
-and you're through.
WHAT" you say, mo special rinses;
no vinegar, lemon or after-rinses
to 'cut' the lather?" No-they are
not necessary-just a thorough dous-
ing in clear water! That's the mar
velous part. Drene cannot leave
unrinsable film on hair to cover up
natural lustre as ordinary shampoos
do. Your hair is left radiant, silky,
smooth. Even bleached or dyed hair
is virtually undetectable after a
Drene shampoo. More amazing, en-
barrassing flakes of dandruff disap-
pear with a single washing, leaving
the scalp scrupulously clean. Tested

It's no wonder women everywhere
are raving about this amazing, new
liquid shampoo-no wonder one trial
converts them for life! For it gives
your hair a thrilling new gleam. Yes,
actually transforms dull, average
looking hair into brilliant, glisten-
ing halo-with a single application.
Look at the girl above. See what
a difference it makes when. you use
it. So try it soon-see how beautiful
your hair really can be.
Just how this unusual shampoo
works these miracles is a new scien-
tifc secret. 1t isn't oil, it isn't soap
it isn't anything you've heard of
before. Scientists have brought us
something brand-new; a shampoo so
different that they've patented the
process by which it is made. You

lead chips were afterward exchangeo
for pennies at the north end OF tne
wharf. It was here that the trouble
began.
In his heart Brissel afterWard
blamed Dolita, for if her langulsn-
ing eve had not distracted his at
tention he would have noticed that
he dropped the penny that should
have gone to Fetmah. It was an
awkward moment for the paymaster.
He had always prided himself on his
maintenance of discipline and mere
Fatmah was making quite scene.
shut up!" he shouted. L gave
you that penny. Move on!'
Reluctantly, Fetmah obeyed the
pressure of the sweating bodies be-
hind her. There were murmurs along
the line. Sullen looks. A covert
threat ripped its way toward the pay
master.
Whats that?" demanded Brissel
sharply, turning on the man.
THIS was met with stolid silence,
II for most of the natives were
afraid of him. Shutting along the
wharf. they gazed warily at his stock
ily built flgure-at his shaggy head
that rose stiff1y above his shoulders
at his eyes, sharply alert. although
the lid of the left one dropped over
the pupil as if to conceal the swift
ness of his glance.
But Fetmahs threats had risen to
a piercing note. Three of the men
who had received their money linger-
ed a moment at the edge of the wharf
where she was standing.
Brissel again became conscious OF
the heat. 1t throttled him. Even his
hatband seemed to tighten. Handing
the last native his handful of cop
pers, he walked listlessly back to the
Office.
1t was dark before he had finished
his daily report. He had lighted the
lamp in order to add up the last col
umn. Then he locked the safe. ficked
the dust from his coat and, STOPPING,
turned down the hem of his trousers.
1t was then that the penny rolled to
the floor. Somehow it had caught in
the upturned hem and, iE chagrined
astonishment, Brissel watched it roll
a parabolic length before it finally
toppled over at his feet.
He swore softly to himself. Pick
ing it up, he turned it over in his
hand. No use letting Fetmah know.
Four years on the island had taught
him that. Slipping the penny into
his pocket along with his account
book, he put out the light. Then he
locked up the Office and walked down
the street.
1t was an unsavory neighborhood.
Instinctively, Brissel moved to the
middle of the street Cultural noises
followed him. He walked faster.

TOWN TO CONSTRUCT TWO
AUXILIARY RESERVOIRS
Will Have Capacity of 100000
Gallons Each; Steel Construction

The town of Oakland will construct
two auxiliary reservoirs, it was decided
at special meeting of the Mayor and
Town Council last Friday evening.
The two reservoirs will have ca
pacity of more than 100000 gallons
each, totaling as much as the one aux
iliary container in the original plan.
The reservoirs will be constructed of
steel and will be forty feet in dame
ter. They are being built forty feet
high to give additional pressure in
the higher sections of the town. 1t is
estimated the heighth will add a pre-
sure of Is pounds to the square inch
in the mains of the town.
Details of the construction are yet
to be worked out, after which the
Council will advertise for bids. 1t
was stated that three months time will
be required to complete the work.
Recent rains have brought the flow
Of water at the pumping station north
west of town back to normal, and the
reservoir remains at capacity.

Application For Federal Funds
Sent to Washington for Approval

The Maryland WPA office has passed
on the application for aid in the Saw
age river dam survey and sent the
application to Washington for final
approval, Harry D. Williar, state WPA
head, announced.
When he is notified that Washing
ton has approved the application, Will
liar said, he will ask the army engineer
corps when it can proceed with the
work. Allegany county and Federal
WPA money will finance the survey
the army engineers will make.
The project includes a survey of the
dam site, test bearings for data on
the type of foundation needed, and
plans for the dam itself. No work
on the dam proper is included in the
application. Cost of the survey will
range from $4,000 to 100000. The
dam, which would be built in Garrett
county, would regulate flow of water
in the Potomac river and would cost
over one and one-half million dollars.
The surveys can be completed in 80
days, while construction of the dam
would take about two years.

SEMINARIAN SAVES YOUTH
AS SAIL BOAT CAPSIZES
Sudden Storm On Deep Creek
, Lake Last Thursday Causes a
Near Drowning
STUDENT EFFECTS RESCUE

Richard M. Grimm, CSC, senior
student for the priesthood at the Holy
Cross Camp, probably saved the life
of ten-year-old Eugene Sheldon Leg
gett, Jr., son of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Sheldon Leggett, of Washington, D..
c., when the storm of unusual violence
struck Deep Creek Lake last Thurs
day afternoon.
Young Leggett, together with Caleb
Winslow, Jr., an older companion,
from the Gary Camp, had been cruis-
ing in a small sailboat with a number
of other sailing craft near the Tur-
key Neck peninsula and were enroute
to their own camp across the lake
when the storm broke. Their boat
overturned and the two were thrown
into the lake.
Winslow, the better swimmer Of the
two, helped the younger boy to cling
to the overturned boat in the rain
and hail that was lashing the lake.
Seminarians See Upset
Despite the poor visibility the ac-
cident was observed by number of
the seminarians of the nearby Holy
Cross camp.
Brother Grimm, accompanied by
Brothers Felix Duffy, Benjamin Ne
mier, George Brown, Dennis Shugrue,
Louis Bercelo, Robert Wade and
Jerome Lawyer, Immediately put off
in their big power launch. When the
craft attempted to come alongside the
overturned cat-boat, wind and hail
made contact impossible and Brother
Grimm dived oversize. He reached the
lad who had not much strength left,
and held him until the power boat
could get line to the party and tow
them ashore.
, The storm abated in about an hour
and the boys, unhearmed by their ex-
posture, returned to their camp.
Several other persons in that vicin-
ity were drenched by the storm but
were able to tie up their boats before
the sudden storm rendered them help
less. Two members of Brother
Grimm's order were drowned in the
lake recently when their canoe upset.
