see anybody. And noises seemed to
come from all directions"
Hammond scowled, but not at her.
81 knew damned we'll that shepherd
husky would never make lead dog"
The girl laughed weakly.
"I'm glad Pm not the only one to
blame"
Reaction had passed for Hammond;
he was only glad he. had found her.
"a good lead dog would have been
able to pick up the trail" Suddenly
he said, "Too tired to go on?"
"Can we reach camp?"
well have to make our own camp"
He looked about him, in the lowering
dusk. One chance was as good as
another-memory told him that they
had been working for some time to the
left. Certainly shore could not be so
far away. eve haven't much to kick
about. Everything in the world to
eat on that toboggan and there's a
sleeping bag for YOU"
"But you?"
He grinned.
"It won't be the first time I've piled
in with the dogs"
There was different spirit now;
concern for her safety had placed them
on a new basis. Silently they worked
forward, bent against the drive of
snow. Going was increasingly diff
cult; the white, sticky fall had covered
the harder pack for full six inches;
their snowshoes sank deep and came
up heavy, leaden. A half hour of ter
rifle exertion followed. The world
was black now, but Hammond urged
her forward.
II think see the shore line ahead"
he commanded. keep going if you
can"
"rll keep going" was her sturdy
answer. The search ended within a
hundred yards, in low-boughed spruce,
a rocky shore line, and tumbled dead
wood.
Again Jack saw that she had told
the truth when she had denoted her
self as being of the North. She asked

most tomboyish expression came into
her eyes. She laughed, her white, ev-
en- teeth cleaning in the freight.
Honestly, am II" she queried.
There was a wish in her voice-for
him to tell her again. But she added
quickly, 81 hope I can cook something
that's fit to eat"
It was. With the dogs snarling
over their fish and mush, the man and
woman sat beside the campfire long
after the meal finished.
At last, Jack unrolled her sleep
ing bag and bedded it down with a
canvas windbreak. They said good
night. Hammond went back to the
fire.
Sc sat there a long time. Finally
he rose, and moving toward her faint
ly outlined form, knelt there.
Continued next week.

free them from chinook-sticky snow.
The shouting and excited conversation
long ago had passed. This was Cruel
ing effort.
Like the North?" he asked.
Something like tomboy's happiness
blazed in her brown eyes.
ooh, do. It's so Clean"
Jack went, wondering about the re-
mark. After long time, he began
thinking of some of the city rooming
houses in which he had spent out-of
luck days: grimy windows, carpets
gritty with dirt, SCOT on ones face,
black taste to the air.
Better not wait too long to make
camp" he shouted to one of the old
timers. "We'l get out early tomor-
row on the crust"
But late that night, when the rest
of the camp was snoring, Hammond
saw that there was to be no crust on
the mornings snow. The chinook had
continued, veering slightly toward
morning. Dawn was gray, lowering,
cheerless. Then the wind shifted. A
bite came into the air.
"Yah, we'll have snow" It was
Olson, the man with the hewed-out
face whom Hammond had met in
Prince Rupert. He paused moment
as the long line began to move. "Yah,
we'll have plenty of snow"
Hammond nodded and went onward.
He would have a job today. It was
hard enough keeping this line moving
in the sunshine. Morning became ear
ly afternoon. The sky grew heavier,
more ominous.
"No loafing!" he shouted, as the
trek started anew, following the noon
time halt. "And no hanging back"
A stoop-shouldered man turned his
head; skin raw from pelting ice par
ticles, eyes like balls of blood from
snow burn.
How'll we ever keep in line and
change wet mocassins ?" he queried.
"Keep 'em on, I suppose, and get
frostbite
well make stops for that" The
first slash of snow had begun to
drive down out of the high reaches of
the mountains. keep moving-and
stay together"
The flakes had become thicker now;
like sticky white shield. All in an
instant, the mountains began to fade.
"Stay together!" he shouted, as he
worked back along the line. "Stay to-
gether!"
They had come out of valley to
wide lake and were now we'll upon
it. On his lumpy snowshoes, Jack
made the end of the line, shouting
his caution, and hearing it echoed by
the more experienced men of this long
serpentine of gold seekers. The sound
of clubbing as sticks raped against
snow-gummed webs was general now.
The world had become a fog of white.
Once again Hammond started for
ward, hurrying at the blurred sight
of laggard beside the trail. With
some surprise, he saw it was Jeanne
Towers.
"What's wrong?" he queried brus-
quely.
"My lead dog broke his trace.I
think. I've got it fixed"
Hammond examined the harness.
"Looks all right" he decided.
"We're going to camp as soon as we
strike the end of this lake."
"And then how far?" asked Jeanne.
Hammond had heard that query hun
dred times in the last few days.
ooh, we're we'll over the worst of
it. Well have. tough time for a
while after we get out of this lake
country-have to hit for the plateaus
the winds are pretty bad there. Then
we'll drop down to the Liiken river
going should be fairly easy after
that"
"How far?" the girl asked again.
"Sixty miles. A man could make
it in two days with a fresh team"

PROJECT
TOLD GROUP

A plan to provide a spillway for
flood waters on the lower MissiS-
sippi River by constructing a SyS-
tenn of locks on the upper reaches
of the Tombigbee River in north
ern Mississippi and Alabama at
the junction of the Tennessee
River was referred to by projects
committee members of the National
Rivers and Haroors Congress to-
day as lone of the most important
projects ever brought to the con-
sideration of the committee"
Conducting final hearings on ap-
plicationS for river projects at the
Mayflower Hotel, the committee
heard a presentation of the Tom
bigbee- Tennessee inland waterway
plan given by Representative John
E. Rankin CD of Mississippi, who
claimed that such an undertaking
would absolutely "neutralize the
Tennessee River with flood waters
in the Mississippi Valley and
remedy the terrible situations still
being doctored by Anticipated levieS
and dredging methods"
He estimated the cost of such a
project at $4,000. He said
"The only means of protect
ing the people from floods on
the lower Mississippi is by con-
trolling the waters in the Missis-
sippi Rivers tributaries. Con-
StructiOn of II locks between the
junction of the TOmbigbee and
the Tennessee will not only lower
the flood crest of the Mississippi
an estimated distance of from
three to nine feet during emer-
gency stages, but will provide a
navigable waterway connection
from Pittsburgh, Pa, to Mobile
Bay and the Gulf of Mexico"

FUGITIVE PAIR
OUT OF D. {.
IS BELIEF
'BIackface 'Gangsters'
Rob 7 Stores After
Fleeing lorton

A lookout for the two members
of the "Blackface Gang" who
escaped from Lorton Reformatory
Thursday, was broadcast to near
by cities today after the fugitives
had robbed two liquor stores in
Washington, escaping from the
scene of the last crime amid hail
of bullets.
Having supplied themselves
with more than $500 cash, the
pair are believed to- have fled
from the city in the same auto
mobile in which they escaped
from Lorton.
Hospitals and physicians we're
asked to be on the alert for the
men-Martin j. Walsh, So, and
Walter Forbush, 23-since the
proprietor of the last store they
robbed told police he believed he
wounded one of them.
Hold Up Two Stores
Striking twice in less than 30
minutes, the pair robbed Alex Ster-
ling in the Sterling Liquor Store
at 429 Fifteenth st. N. E., Of $500.
At 1850 p. m. they entered the
Smith Liquor Store, 500 Eleventh
st. S. w., and at the point Of
pistols compelled Elwood Smith to
hand over $223.5O. They made
him accompany them to the door.
Saw One Man Slump
AS the bandits leaped into the
grey sedan parked nearby, Smith
ran into the store and grabbed
an automatic pistol. He hurried
back, emptied it into the side of
the car, and saw one of the men
slump.
The gunner escaped from Lor-
ton by stealing a car on which
they were working in the prison
yard. A telephone call took the
guard away for a moment, and in
his absence they leaped into the
machine and raced off.

KING
AND B0RAH
RAPPLAN
Adoption Of Treadway
Resolution Would
Save Blossoms

With opposition to the proposed
100000 Thomas jefferson Me-
mortal gaining momentum
throughout the country, foes of
the project began marshalling
their forces today to obtain enact
ment of the Treadway resolution
designed to save the cherry bios
SONS by prohibiting erection of
the monument at the Tidal Basin.
The opposition gained two pow.
erful allies in Senator William e.
Borah (R0, of Idaho, and Sen
ator William H. King CD, of
Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis
triCt Committee, who yesterday
on the floor of the Senate de-
nounced the present plans and
asked for reconsideration of the
entire project.
BOrah Raps Project
Senator Borah. during debate on
the relief program, told the Sen
ate:
IF we want to manifest our
sincere respect for the great pO-
litical philosopher and humani.
tartan, Thomas Jefferson, we
will not at this time attempt to
build a 100000 to $4,000, 900
monument and at the same
time manifest our good faith in
the matter of economy"
The Senator's reference to an
increase in the cost of construc.
ton arises from estimates from
various sources that the memorial
will cost more than the $4,000, 900
authorized by Congress and that
the cost may reach $4,000, 900.
Senator King criticized the pro-
posal on several grounds, express
ing his opposition to the site, de-
sign and cost, and protesting the
failure of the Thomas jefferson
Memorial Commission to consult
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the
Fine Arts Commission before de.
Gliding on the project.
Meeting Scheduled
At the same time, those who
object to the memorial because Of
fear that it will destroy the beauty
of the cherry blossoms around
the Tidal Basin were rallying their
forces for meeting of the House
Library Committee Tuesday at 10
a. m. when the TreadWay reSolu-
ton probably will be considered.
After a stormy meeting Of the
committee yesterday when the
Wearin resolution to conduct a
nationwide competition among
architects for a design was vir.
tually ruled out, Representative
Allen T. Treadway CRD Of Mas

CAV little bowl newly arrived,
Mrs. Herrick was dipping a glazed
shrimp-it looked like gold

Caldwell was looking for a spoon
for her custard thick soup which
concealed solid bits OF food. ana
I, tucking my napkin under my
chin. clutched the chopstickS with
Falstaffian gusto and fell to-
splashingly.
The incest thing about Japa-
nese food is that it always looks
well. After you have eaten
heartily of many viandS and
vegetables there are no bones
and fragments left lying n1iser'
ably on your plate to make you
feel that eating, though neces'
sary, is not a pretty process. Eacn
dish, whether composed OF one
ingredient or many, is served IN
a pretty lacquer or porcelain
bowl with a top.
When we took our places In
the dining room of the Embassy
the table was bare except for a
vase of deep red roses and a
small fascinating blue and white
pitcher, a water and wine glass
and a serviette at each place.
Soon a black and gold lacquer
tray was set before each guest
On each tray were two chop,
sticks in paper wrapping and
half a dozen adorable little bowls
of fine porcelain and lacquer
For all the world like play house

A dish of salad, mushrooms

little things was arranged with
such imagination and grace (yes
grace) that 1 thought it must be

in it floated tempting bits OF

tables that grow, done in the

combinations. One delectable
salad came in a rose and gold

oysters and thinly sliced cucum
bers done in a mysterious way
with ginger.
On and on we went through
20 dishes (seven courseS com
