The Waterbury Junior League is one of the leading organizations of the city in welfare work for child ren. Committees especially appointed to handle details work untiringly for the advancement of the health and happiness of local children. One of the most important accomplish ments of the league is assisting in the establishment and operation of Baby Welfare Stations.
 The Baby Welfare Stations were started in Waterbury over 20 years ago as an experiment. The first one was opened in 1916 when it was found necessary to take proper care of young babies in order to keep the infant mortality rate from climbing. The toll in 1916 was 135 per 1000 liv- ing births where now it is greatly decreased.
 The. seven stations where "Well Baby" conferences are held weekly are located throughout Waterbury at Hopeville, Baldwin Street, Bank Street, Mad River, Waterville, North End and Taylor Street. There are approximately $50 conferences held during the year with almost 4O0O babies weighed.
 This work is carried on by the Visiting Nurses. There is always a nurse and doctor giving their ser- vices at each conference assisted by a Junior League Volunteer. There the mothers bring their babies to be weighed and their weights are re- corded by the volunteer. Mothers are then given invaluable advice

|RESUSC|TATOR
 PROVES VALUE
Already Has Saved Life of One Baby-Used Also
 for Maternity Cases

Since its installation at the Wa terbury hospital six weeks ago, the new resuscitator has been used to advantage in maternity cases about eight times, according to Miss Aida Green, assistant superintendent of that institution. In one instance the resuscitator was used in an em- ergency, and was responsible for saving the newborn baby from death by suffocation.
 The machine was brought here on trial, and when it was demonstrated, officials of the hospital decided that they could not be without the ser- vices of it. Cases of gas poisoning may also be treated with the resusci- tator, but it is being kept at all times in the maternity ward. Dr. John Freiheit and Dr. Joseph Hetzel. who have used the machine to advantage, report that 1t is most satisfactory.

by the Visiting Nurse as to the gen. eral care and diet. The doctor att tending the station or the mothers own physician is referred to if there is 8 need for change of diet.
 These stations have filled very vital need in Waterbury as is to be seen by the drop in the infant mor- tality rate. The Junior League is very happy to have the opportunity to help the babies of the city and the Visiting Nurses by contributing the services of the volunteers to do the routine work of the conferences, thereby leaving many of the nurses free for outsire visits. The Junior League volunteers have been most interested in this work and have attended the conferences with very few absences.
 It is very gratifying in this work to see the babies grow stronger, sturdier and brighter every time they come to be weighed and to know that they will grow up un- handicapped by physical disabilities after having been carefully watched during their first years in life. After all, it is much easier and more to the point to keep a well baby well and this is the aim of the con- ferences.

ssEasy, Mart. There's not a chance. We'd run right smack into them. I tried 1t once - bpO this boat seems to have a knack of getting away from the revenue cutters"
 "Is that what all the excitement is?"
 Betty nodded. "You heard a revenue cutter firing warning to stop. After a." She stopped sud- denly as the Stateroom plunged into darkness. There go the lights! Ciznik will run without lights, and keep away from their searchlight beam if he can."
 "How-how long have you been on the boat?"
 Maybe a week. It seems more like a year-and it may be longer than a week for all I know. They don't want to let go of me, and they don't quite know what to do with me"
 But how did you get up into the Northwest? They told me at the California border that Sped- don had driven through alone"
 Betty smiled ruefully. "Oh, no! Little Orphan Annie was lying in the closed rumble seat - and MT. Speddon's gun was pointed down between the cushions of the front seat with one hand while he hand ed the dumb officer his license with the other. It seemed to me like we drove 100 miles before he let me back into the front!"
 What made him take you in the first place?"
 Tt was because of a crazy re- mark I made. You remember we went back to the service station to ask the attendant if he'd seen Neal? Well, just to make conver- Sation I said I wasn't surprised to have Neal disappear, because the whole job looked suspicious and I wouldn't be surprised if we were working for rumrunners or dope Smugglers. Out of million inane remarks-and I can make 'em all T had to say that! Speddon wouldn't believe I was joking. He told me I know to much and that in three days I'd be talking to Ciznik. He tore out of town like mad - and never stopped ex- cept for gas and oil and sand wiches."
 "You didn't send me any tele- grams then?"
 No. That was Speddon, think he'd have gone back after you, but he was afraid. So he thought if he could keep you happy until you got to Seattle he'd be all right. I did manage to slip you a note did you get it?"
 Martha nodded. At Portland"
 T don't suppose you could read much of it. just had half a minute to scrawl it out and slip it to gas station attendant. I was trying to warn you about Ciznik and Speddon. But :" Betty'S voice grew suspiciously husky in the darkness, but I don't suppose anything could have kept you from walking into this, anyhow
 I've found you safe, that's all that matters"
 Safe :" Betty repeated the word queerly. Have you any idea what will happen to us if that government boat should overtahs this one?"
 But they'll be to busy to think about us."
 T wish I could believe it." Betty

 They fell silent at the sudden sound of heavy footballs in the pasageway. They grew nearer, went on down past the door.
 "That's Ciznikl" Betty whispered.
 Betty! He's gone back to his stateroom to find me! We've got to make a break for it. Maybe if we can get up on deck we'll have chance"
 They plunged out into the dark corridor, feeling their way along the wall. At the far end they heard Ciznik's swift / curses as he realized Ling had left the door open for Martha's escape.
 "Hurry!" Betty breathed deSper- ately. Hell turn fiashlight down the hall"
 Martha ran on, collided pain fully with the rail of an iron stair. Clutching Betty's wrist, she started up.
 When they reached the deck they realized the reason for Ciz- nik's sudden concern for them.

THE sToRY sO FAR

Failing, with the help of GER- RY NEAL, to locate her cOmpan- nOn, BETTY HAYNES, abducted by JACK SPEDDON, MARTHA BRITAIN starts north from San Francisco up the west coast And suddenly she decides, even though she. loves Neal that he is implicated in Betty's disappear nnce. So at a small California town she has him arrested.
 Next, in Portland, Martha learns that . JOHNNY CIZNIK, Seattle underworld character, is involved in the case. Police hint that Bet ty may have been murdered. Mar tha goes on to Seattle and there is abducted by Spedd0n who tricks her into meeting him at trailer camp. When Martha awakens she finds herself in an abandoned warehouse. A few minutes later she is chlOrOf0rmed and taekn aboard Ciznik's ship. SpeddOn ShOws up and takes Martha to Ciznik's cabin. There Martha learns that she and Betty have become innocent victims of a gi- gantic dope ring whose leaders wanted to try out a new trailer as a narcotic conveyOr and used the girls to make the test.
 Ciznik offers to take Martha into the ring. He urges sneer- ingly on the grounds that if she dOen't join them, it will mean inevitable death for both she and Betty. But Martha is adamant. fingered at this defiance, Ciznik calls in sinking Oriental Hor- rified, Martha sees this yellow man approach even as Ciznik pre- pares to leave the cabin.

CHAPTER XXI

What fearful order Ciznik had fsued to the Oriental, she could only guess - and she was never really to know. For at that moment there was a terrific detonation out over the water. The Chinese stopped in his tracks, turned questioningly to Johnny Ciznik. The latter's face had drained of its color.
 'Ling!" he roared. Get above!'
 Standing there, Martha felt the swing of the ship as it altered its course. Bells tinkled somewhere below, and slowly the throb of the engines increased, vibrating the floor plates beneath her feet. She stood there for moment, too frightened to move - too fright ened even to realizes that in their hurried exit. Ciznik adn Ling had left the cabin deer swinging wide. As the ship turned, the door swung heavily, changed against the wall. It was then that Martha regained her senses, and rushed to the open doorway.
 Tl.e passage was empty, but above her she could hear men shouting against the wind. EX- pecting every moment to run head long into an adversary, Martha walI.ed hurriedly along. Desper- ately she hoped to gain the deck above, perhaps hide herself dur ing the confusion. Then, as she passed one of the doors which stretched along the passageway, she heard her name called clearly. And it was Betty's voice!
 Martha stopped as one stunned. Almost afraid to answer, she an- Swered softly. "Yes it's Mar tha."
 You can turn the latch from the outside" Betty said.
 In one sudden movement Mar tha was inside the stateroom; and so great was her joy at finding Betty that she almost let the door swing tight again. "Wait!" Betty said, clutching the knob. She turned the lock so that the door would not close flush with the wall. If you'd been in here as long as I have you wouldn't miss a chance like this, sister,"
 Martha wanted to cry for joy at the familiar, jocular tone. But when Betty turned to her she saw in the blond girls eyes the unmistakable effects of days of fear and weari- ness. For a long moment they held to each other there in the dimly lighted little cabin saying nothing
 When the ruckuS started. I lis tened at the door-and heard you walking down the hall,' Betty said. "I'd know that walk any where in the world"
 "Tell me-" Martha pleaded. rAre you - all right?"
 Betty nodded. Sure, I'm all right. Handsome MT. Ciznik has been little unpleasant once or twice, but I've managed him so far. Have you met MT. Ciznik, by any chance?"
 Martha flushed angrily. "Just now" She took Betty's arm sCotne on, let's get out of here. J

THRICE the security of his
 young nation was threatened, during his leadership, and all three times Don Jose Joaquin Perez succeeded in bringing Chile through more strongly united than ever. Born in 1900, famous as a diplomat both in Paris and Buenos Aires, Perez became president of Chile in 1861.
 Hardly had he taken office when the Araucanians, controlling cen. tral Chile, seeded almost at the time another great secession split the United States. But Chile's rebel leader was arrested, and the revolt ended.
 Then, in 1864, came war with Spain, on behalf of Peru; the Spanish fleet was defeated and Chile won greater prestige in South America. Later, from 1868 to 1870, Perez fought the ,naraud- ing Indian tribes of Chile, and when he retired in 1871, he had won additional safety against fur.
