Storks' Nests in Poland

In the cities and on the farms Of
Poland great white hillocks swell
from the caves of the hut, cottage,
palace and hotel. They are the nests
of the stork which Bring luck and
prosperity to the households they
favor, observes a writer in the
Boston Globe. Poland, perhaps more
than any other country of Europe,
is the summer home of the stork.
For centuries he has been the faith
full harbinger of spring and, with
his nest, the herald of good fortune.
For equal centuries therefore he has
been protected, coaxed and spoiled.
In the nesting days peasants often
build round solid platforms on the
ridges of their roofs. These are lures
inviting the lanky birds to weave
homes there for their babies. Once
such a nest is built it becomes the
enduring talisman for households
prosperity and peace.

CHAPTER vi

All in less than two weeks, the
little settlement of Sapphire Lake
had become a village-and was ro-
bustly looking forward to the day
when it would be a town. Jimmy
Moons airplane had caused it
Not that he any longer held the
monopoly. Two days after his first
trip into Wrangen, another gypsy
had flown in from the Alaskan coast
and begun canvass of the town for
business. Then a third had found
his way up from Vancouver.
For days Jimmy Moon had been
chartered by Around the World An
ME, feverish for artisans, wood
workers, GLACIERS and their sup
plies. Olson's discovery of gold had
done great things for the morale of
the camp. Other placer miners,
who had been content with mere
panning, now were building rock
ers, or going in for greater sluicing
operations.
The whole psychology of the
camp had changed, while hardware
and furnishing stores in Wrangen
sold out their supplies and the ,hur-
rying airplanes roared onward to
Juneau and Sitka, there to load up
from new sources and rush back to
the mining camp.
"Yeh," said Mckenzie Joe, as he
watched ship drop to the lake and
taxi to a landing, "everybody's in
a hurry. They could go for months
without glass in their windows
but now they've got to have it by
the next plane. That's the trou-
BILE with new gold diggin's. No
body wants to let it stay the way
you found it."
Then suddenly he asked Ham,
mond, "You going to work with me
today on that upper shaft, or are
you still sticking to Loon creek?'
Hammond began to file the rag
ged edge of a long-handled shovel.
Don't you think it's up to us to
get as much gold out of that creek
placer as we can? Well have to
be hiring men soon."
The older man shot him a quick
glance.
That's the fourth or fifth time
you've brought that up" he said.
"Well?" asked Hammond. didn't
we talk it over the other night?"
'We didn't come to any decision.
"I did"
"That doesn't make two of U.S."
A certain asperity had grown up
between the two; looking back,
Hammond felt that Mckenzie Joe's
nature had become steadily sourer
ever since the first arrival of Tim
my Moons airplane and its pas
sengers. Jack had resented that,
as though it were an implied insult
to the girl he loved.
Look here, Joe. We've got to
get our money out of this discov-
cry. We can't stay here forever"
Seems to me-" Mckenzie Joe
said, as he looked out over the
valley, when we found this place,
we both figured it was where we
were going to settle down-that we
had life job"
''We're not going to have a years
job, if we don't find that older bed
rock. That Loon creek placer won't
be enough for U.s."
"It's enough for me right now"
the older man said. 81 amt ever
seen that much money before"
Hammond bent over the shovel
blade.
"Our ideas are different there"

Early Carlsbad

A museum in Carlsbad has relics
that bring back the 500 years his
tory of this famous spa, says the
Rocky Mountain Herald. Carlsbad,
according to legend, was founded
by Karl w, King of Bohemia, who
wounded hart with his arrow while
hunting in the district. All trace
of the hart was lost, but later it
was discovered bathing its wounds
at a well. The water of this well,
being examined, was found to have
healing qualities. Scenes of the
early days of Carlsbad are shown
in pictures, among them one of
Wallenstein's entry during the Thir-
ty Year War. Ancient literature
about the spa includes 'Tractatus
de Thermis Carroll Quartz" from
1921. The collection of local art
includes the Carlsbad china goods,
glassware and the work of local
goldsmiths and there are many
"reminiscences of famous guests,
such as Schiller, Goethe, Turgenieff,
Bismarck.
