Flying Devils Picture Planes

Bees Cause Man To Be Lead To
 Odd Collins
(By The Associated Press

(By The Associated PreSs'
 Calcutta, Feb. 5-CoffinS and bones of an unknown tribe of men have been dis l covered in a cave in a re- mote part. of the frontier region of Burma and Siam.
 They were inside a cave halfway up the sheer face of a 500-foot cliff. Scient- ists cannot say who the tribe were or how theheavy coffins were transported up the steep cliff face to the caves.
 The discovery was made by a honey collector who had climbed to the mouth i of the cave, where there was a beehive. Going in- side, he saw a couple of score of collins faintly out lined in the dim light that filtered into the cavern.
 News of the find was talk en to V. P. Sondhi of the geological survey of India, who was engaged in a min ing survey in that part of the southern Shan states. An exploring party found that the collins were carv- ed out of solid logs of teak and the outer surface was leveled with short .chopp- ing strokes.
 A curious feature of the skeletons was that almost all the leg bones were rou- ghly cut or scraped at more or less the same position at two ends. The parallel mar row grooves and lines were like those produced by the gnawing of rodents, but it is thought that these cuts may have been a post-mor- tenn mutilation by human agency, representing some kind of a burial ritual of the mysterious tribe.

Best Man 1000 Times but Never
 A Bridegroom
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 New York, Feb. 5, - Best man. for more than 1000 couples in the last five years is the record of w. J. Armstrong, secretary of Old St Johns church. As part of his duties he has ob- tained nearly as many matrons of honor, and on one occasion a last minute bride asked him to buy flow CTS for her.
 Many couples come from all over the country to get married here" he ex- plained "because this was the first Methodist church to be established in Amer ica. Most of them come here because we make it quick and easy and, what is more important, it costs them little"
 He said he had yet to see a nervous bride, but that most of the bridegrooms were terrified.

"All visitors ashore!
One or two belated guests were
assisted down the gangplank. The
white-coated stewards stood ready
to lift it. The stevedoreS were no
longer loading, the matches were
being closed.
The ships band was playing
People were waving, throwing
serpentines, confetti.
He isn't going. He won't leave

that they would hardly form

eyes," he said.
He turned to go.
Then he came back and kissed
her quickly and ran up the gang
plank.
She stood, expectant, waiting
for him to turn and wave again
from the deck, but whether she
missed him in the crowd, or he
couldn't find place at the rail,
she couldn't find him.
With a final mighty blast the
great ship began to move slowly
from the wharf. The little ribbon
of green water between her and
Lowell widened. The little tugs
footed and chugged. Slowly, so
slowly that it barely seemed to
move at all, the ship made its way
into the stream.
The band still played, people
were waving, shouting to friends
ashore. She must find Lowell. She
must find him. Frantically her
eyes searched the decks. He wasn't
there. She couldn't find him.
She looked down at the ragged
end of green serpentine that had
somehow got into her hand.
Streamers of it were still visible
from the ship. She felt that she
was being drawn out to sea with
Lowell.
Suddenly tears gushed from her
eyes. She reached desperately, for
lornly, for her handkerchief. It
was only a small handkerchief, it
wouldn't do at all. Ducking her
head under the brim of the hat
that had been Dorathea'S hand
me-down from Aunt Caroline, she
moved swiftly to a corner behind
some towering packing boxes.
It wasn't until the boat was well
out into the stream that she had
the courage to emerge from he
shelter of the boxes, and wave to
the outgoing ship. 1t was all a
blur in the bright monday sun,
she couldn't even see the massed
passengers any more, but she
walked alone to the end Of the pier,
and waved. She thought that per-
haps he'd be looking back and
would know that the little dot on
the end of the pier was she.
When she turned to go back,
everyone had left. Only a few
stevedores were working, loading
boxes.
Coming into the open again. the
wind felt good on her hot face.
She adjusted her hat, and opened
her purse to look in the little hand
mirror. Just as she thought-she
looked a fright!
"Hello," somebody said.
It was David.
Hello" she answered delight
edly, thankful for a friend in the
confusion of people, trucks and
taxis. And then, Suspiciously,

I hungry" She smiled a watery
smile.
"oh, come on. You can watch
me eat!"
So she got in the car with him
and he drove to the Palace, where
Lowell had almost taken her yes
terday, but didn't.
The headwaiter knew David and
wanted to put them at a center
table, but David said no, they
wanted to be off in corner where
they could talk, and so, half hid
den behind palms, the dropping
Jan began to feel human again.
She hadn't thought she could
talk about it, but somehow it
helped to tell about it.
"They had an enormous suite
on the top deck. And the sonora
had her maid with her."
Tears welled in her eyes, spilled
over.
She smiled apologetically
through them.
"some day I'll be going off on a
ship like that" she told him. It's
a secret, but I know you won't
tell. Promise you won't? Lowell is
coming back and we're going to
be married in IA monthS-that'S
next January-the eighteenth
when he's 81. I'll be 18 then. only
of course Nom would give her
consent anyway"
CHAPTER XXI
There was so much to tell, now
that she was started. David
smoked and listened, and the
waiter brought more fat, squishy
little cakes, which semed wicked
to leave, so she ate them.
At last he said, "Now I'm going
to take you home, and then l
must get back to the office. 1ts

After three. It didn't seem pos

After three. The ship would be

"Now it's you who are being

didn't look very pleased. He PAID
the bill very quickly and hurried
her through the palm court to the
street where he'd parked the car.
When they reached her house,
which only took few moments, he
wouldn't come in.
"Mother'u be awfully disap-

The house was quiet. Maybe
mother had gone out.
Just to make sure, she peeked
into the living room as she passed
and a strange scene greeted her.
Mother and Helen Rogers, who
hadn't set foot in the house for

DISTRICT HEADS
ADVOCATE TILE
LINED DRAINS

Resolutions asking the reclama-
tion service to build tile lined COW
cred drains paralleling the All
American canal near Calexico, were
passed by the directors of the I'm
perial Irrigation district at Tues
day mornings session. The reso-
luton passed by unanimous vote.
The drains requested would run
for a distance of three miles on
both sides of the canal from the
central main canal west to the
Southern Pacific railroad tracks
and there connect to the open
drains leading to New river.
Prevention of seepage or water
logging from the All American
canal is the purpose of the desired
drains. Such drains we're part
of the original plans in the de-
velopment, according to Evan T.
HeWes, chairman of the board
Directors expressed the opinion
that the drains. should be built be-
fore canal construction is complete
and before The canal is being used.
They ask that the drains be of
ample size and that they be in
stalled at a minimum depth of six
feet below the ground surface.
Copies of the resolution were Or
dered sent to Harold L. Ickes, sec
retary of interior; R. F. Walters,
chief engineer, and R. B. Williams,
construction engineer for the bu-
reau of reclamation.

Shipping Shutdown
In Area Feared
By OWners

SAN FRANCISCO, April
ID. (UP)-Fists flew on the
San Francisco Embarcadero
today in a brief scuffle
marking the arrival of the
Grace liner Santa Rosa to meet a
blockade of union pickets and to
effect a new crisis on waterfront
troubled by labor disturbances for
three years.
The scuffle, quickly subdued by
police, occurred when man, not
Immediately identified, stepped from
the crowd of 1000 watching the ar
rival and struck member of the
Santa Rosa crew.
Others in the crowd assisted po-
lice in protecting the crew member,
who was laden with baggage, and
in hustling the assailant to a police
patrol.
It was the only sign of violence
in a tense situation which developed
through the inSistence OF the Mari
time Federation of the Pacific that
the Santa RoSaS crew, provided in
New York by the International Sea-
mems union, was gang of strike
breakers"
Union efforts TO blockade the
Santa Rosa may cause a complete
shutdown of shipping operations on
the San Francisco waterfront, it
was intimated.
A spokesman for the Waterfront
Employers association indicated
shipowners were prepared to trans
fer all shipping activities to San
Pedro, port of Los Angeles, in event
of serious developments in the San
Francisco situation.
Rather indefinite about the actual
step shipowners would take, the
spokesman denied that an recon-
mendations had been sent to Van
couver, B. c., to advise shippers to
take on full! supplies of oil and other
fuel in event it would be necessary
for ships to avoid California points
entirely.
