She seemed to be plunging in a sweeping arc-the suddenly she felt something clutching her arm. Her head broke the surface, sank again with that firm hand still gripping her. Fantastically she wondered if this could be the last mad delu- sion of the drowning. And then, mitaculously, she felt the sand be- meath her feet.
 Steady hold steady :"
 It was Neal's voice. It was Neal who gripped her fiercely with one hand, his other lending them of from the wall of rock. With all her remaining strength Martha dug her bare feet into the sand as a wave receded. She tried her best to make that last struggle which would bring her to . safe depth. Then everything went black.
 when she opened her eyes she saw Gerry Meals anxious face be- tween her and the bright blue bowl of sky. Under her body the sand felt deliciously warm and soft

 Martha smiled. Mind if I just He here a minute and close my eyes? I feel kind of shaky."
 How long her eyes were closed she did not know. Perhaps she dozed in the warm sun. But when she raised her lashes she was startled to see Meals face quite close, as though he had been studying her Then slowly, yet somehow swiftly, too. he kissed her.
 Martha did not move. The color rose slowly from her throat. De- lberately she raised herself to her feet, left Neal sitting there on the sand. I'm going to dress. It's time we started back to town.'
 "Right," said Neal oddly. 'T'll meet you at the car"
 He was standing by the road, smoking a cigaret, when Martha came up the path swinging her damp swim suit. Wordlessly, he held open the car door for her, then climbed behind the wheel.

The Nays air chief recommended
that it be provided with IAN adequate
number of suitable tenders for patrol
planes; that the U. S. S. Aroostook,
Owl and three destroyers be trans
ferred and converted for temporary
use as patrol plane tenders; that the
Navy continue improvement in per-
Torrance of aircraft by well-con-
sidered experimental program and
provide required increases in naval
personnel.
Looking ahead, Admiral Cook FORE
saw these developments as possibili-
ties: Development of airplanes of
increased range and striking power
will continue and greater simplicity of
operation will be sought. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be possible to OBJ
tain improved maintenance charac-
teristics in new designs under con-
struction.
Engines of improved reliability with
great horsepower and higher efficiency
are in prospect. Experiments are be-
ing undertaken for the purpose of
providing automatic functioning of
certain power plant instruments and
accessories in order to relieve the de-
mands on flying personnel.
Possible expansion of the instru-
ment section of the Naval Aircraft
Factory is being studied to permit a
more thorough test of experimental
as well as service installations.

Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook, chief

development of more satisfactory types
of non-rigid airships and that their
utilization in connection with feet

tary Swanson. He asked for an early

Admiral Cook reported progress to-

He entered the French army at o.

America as a secret agent or spy OF
the French government, DeKalb made
so many warm friends that, when our

he accompanied Lafollette to America

major-general. He became advisor
to Washington, was with him through
the dark days Of Valley Forge, then

he became commander-in-chief in the

tell me for my readers all that you
can?
A. Gladly, sir, But the big change
came around $780, Since then there
has been gradual pickup in the res
taurant business, Now, it's, almost
back to normal-at least in this place
O. Do you like working for SO

of the Park Avenue. crowd?

get tired of seeing Park Avenue faces.

A. Certainly. It's the best way I
know to tell how much meat and how
many boxes of asparagus, how many
CLAIMS and how much caviar to order

are attributed to enemies" and edi-
tors are arrested.
How can one explain all this? Is it
true, as some maintain, that Stain
and his associates are afraid OF
shadows? Or have they actually dis
covered a conspiracy so wide that II
has enlisted men and women in every
phase of Soviet life?
Resident observers appear frankly
bewildered The charges against those
arrested are often vague and uncon-
vincing. Yet it is difficult to believe
that Bolshevik leaders would cause SO
much damage to their own system
without substantial reasons. 1t is OBJ
vious that the atmosphere of fear i'm
pairs the efficiency of the huge state
machine, that factories and instllu-
tions which seemed to be progressing
are now faltering. There is abundant
evidence that executives of all kinds
hesitate to take any sort of respOn-
sibility for fear of making mistake
and being accused of "wrecking' or
some more serious offense.
Time alone will show whether this
atmosphere is due to the influence of
one man or group of men, or is in
herent in the Soviet system itself
Lenin once said that capitalism
bears within itself the seeds of its
own destruction" The contemporary
scene in Soviet Russia indicates that
such a remark might be applied with
greater force to the Soviet system
which has now for twenty years re-
lentlessly imposed an atmosphere of
mutual distrust and suspicion upon
those who administer it. Meanwhile,
it can only be said that Bolshevism
however snowy some of its results
NAV be, is still far behind modern
capitalism in making life livable for
a majority of it's citizens.
