themselves stranded IN San Diego.
They answer an ad of the Air
speed Trailer Company and OBJ
tain an assignment to travel up
the ~est coast, demonstrating the
new de luxe trailer. Their susPi-
eion. are aroused somewhat when
Arnold Sloss of the Airspeed com
psny fails to ask for either bond
or references.
Elated at the prospect of the
trip and money, nevertheless, the
two purchase travel outfits and
return to their apartment TO
pack. At their door they surprise
a handsome young man trying to
enyer. Alphabetically, he tells
them he stepped off at the wrong
floor and that his name is Gerry
Neal. At first alarmed, the girls
soon incline to dismiss the incl
dent. But Martha doesn't forget
Neal. They start north~ard. And

NEW YORK, March l3.-Compara-

Quiet also prevailed elsewhere in the
list with speculative and low priced
liens edging back and forth in narrow
ranges. High-grade corporates gave
the first signs of resistance in many
days, particularly the American Tele-
phone 3l4s and Pacific Gas 334s each
of which gained major fraction.
Santa Fe 4s and Northern Pacific As,
however, backed down a little.
Secondary domestic corporate loans
showed little disposition to move i'm

on the upside. Erie SIS, Walworth As

> ONCE UPON NOV. 21st

The goth anniversary of one of the
greatest of all spy coups is at hand.
At 4:3O a. M, Nov. 81, 1918, the newest
of German zeppelines, L-59, which had
been constructed completely in two
weeks, assembled from Jamboli, Bull
earia, and headed for German Eas.
Africa. where forces under Gen. Won
Lettow-Verbeck, consisting in the
main of handful of regular troops
and quickly trained colonlsts, were
still holding out against terrific odds.
Cut off from all outside surces by
British blockade, they were IN des-
perate need of medicine, food, ammun-
ition and a few of the luXuries like to-
bacco- man must have to keep his
morale. There was only one way
they could be reached-by air. A radio
circuit to Germany was still working,
and their appeals finally moved Ber-
lin to attempt to send a zeppelin load
of supplied.
It was not intended that the L-50
was to return to Germany. The ma
terials in it were part of the supplies
for the besieged colony. The metal
frame was constructed so it would
be used for wireless towers; the silk
gas-bags were so cut and patterned
that they could serve as tent covers.
The gas itself was to become fuel for
a power plant. Aboard were three tons
of precious supplies.
For two days it droned southwark,
while in constant communication with
a Berlin wireless station. It was al
most within sight of its goal, when a
radio message came declaring Lettow-
Vorbeck's stronghold had fallen; that
the ship must return, and cease wire
less communication lest it be located
by Allied radio direction-finders.
The ship was swung about, and ar
rived back in Jamboli two days lat
er, after IS hours aloft. There it's
crew learned the wireless message
which had caused them t. turn back
was a fake, broadcast in German code
by British spy.
The L-59s nonstop 1920 mile flight
set a record, without any result what.
ever.
