 We found her none too soon. Montgomery had been very pleas ant for a while-just as he played charming host to us. Then we three girls blundered onto the island the night he decided to murder her.

STANDING on the banks of the
 Potomac, the boundary be- tween the two sections whose con- flict was climaxed by Lincoln's death, the great Lincoln Memorial in Washington has often been called the noblest expression of American architecture.
 With a simplicity entirely be- fitting the character of the man whose memory 1t perpetuates, the Memorial was dedicated in 1922 after being under construction more than 10 years. From the solid rock beneath the level of the Potomac, 50 feet below the origi- nal grade, the Memorial towers l22 feet above that grade. The platform at it's base is 204 feet long and l34 feet wide. The cole onnade is 1ss feet long and 11S feet wide, the columns A feet high and 2 feet 5 inches in diame- ter at their base. The memorial hall Is 156 feet long and S4 feet wide.
 Outside columns are simple Doric style and inside columns are simple Ionic. The marble is from Colorado. Inside the Memo- rial is a colossal statue of Lincoln, the work of Daniel Chester French. It is a seated figure of tne martyred president. raised a few feet above the floor. The sculp- tor has caught with remark able fidelity the character of Lin- coin. The Memorial is portrayed on a stamp issued in 1922.

Brain TWizzlers By Prof. ). D. Flint

Four families who were residents of very fashionable suburb of a large city had their homes at the four corners of a fairly large Sec- tion of land. During the winter months they had a pond in the center of the area frozen over for 1ce-skating, Ice hockey and other winter sports.
 The time came when 1t was found necessary to sell some of the prop erty because of economic pressure and four lots were sold in the area between the pond and the homes ot the original four families. The buy CTS of the lots were not so wealthy and built much less pretentious homes on their property. They also made very free use of the win- ter sports facilities and their chil- dren were so numerous and spent so much time on the pond that the children of the original families were rather shut out. As a result the heads of the four original fam flies become very irate over the whole thing and went into confer ence to decide what course of action to take. After due deliberation they decided to fence off the pond in such a manner that the other families couldn't use 1t. This pre- sented a difficult problem in design but finally they made arrange Yi1ents and erected the fence which effectually served their purpose. Gan you draw g fence line that wuuid accomplish this?

SAN FRANCISCO, January IL
Prediction by shipowners' spokes-
man of IAN almost immediate end" to
the 74-day Pacific Coast maritime
strike contracted today with expressed
doubts of union representatives.
Referring to the peace prediction
made by Thomas G. Plant, Ship
owners Committee chairman, Union
Adviser H. P. Melnikow stated:
II am not so sure as he that this
strike is anywhere near over"
Mervyn Rathbone. another union
spokesman, saw possibilities of set
tlement by January 25 but warned
against misleading statements" on
peace prospects.
In a message to President Roosevelt
Plant said:
II am happy to predict an almost
immediate end of the Pacific Coast
maritime strike. I believe it may end
in a very few days"
He based his belief on the progress
of negotiations and added the opinion
that "only sinister forces" stand in the
way Of peace.
Melnikow commented: ut may be
that all this optimism is deliberately
planted so that if the employers CAM
put over their ideas they can ther
yell sinister influences.
He said that only 10 of 81 agree
ments that must be reached between
the seven striking unions and three
shipowners' groups have been nego-
tiated.
