Stamp News
lsy |. 5. Klein

NEW 20 and 50-cent stamps,
similar to the ascent trans
Pacific airmail type, have been
placed on sale at the Philatelic
Agency, Post Office Department,
Washington, D. c. These are de-
signed for use in connection with
new airmail rates across the Pa
cific, beginning with the first flight
beyond Manila to Macao and
Hong Kong. This fight Is sched-
uled for March "a, weather per-
hitting.
New rates also have been es-
tablished. These are:
U. s. to Hawaii, 20 cents; to
Guam, 40 cents; to Manila, SO
cents; to Hong Kong-Macao, 20
cents.
Hawaii to U. S., 20 cents; to
Guam, 20 cents; to Manila, 30
cents; to Hong Kong Macao, SO
cents.
Guam to y. S., 40 cents; to Ha-
waii, 20 cents; to Manila, 10 cents;
10 Hong Kong-Macao, 80 cents.
Rates from Manila and the Chi
nese ports depend on the decisions
of the Philippine and British pos
tai authorities. These will be an
nounced later. Meantime, prepare
your U. S. covers for the various
stops both ways, get the stamps
from Washington and hold them
ready for further details on ham
ding these covers. The Post Of
fee Department will announce
these later.
Since there may be some diff
Guilty in handling covers at Manila
and in China, it is believed that
the Pan-American Airlines may
serve cover collectors at these
points, but an additional charge
may be made.
The new stamps are exactly like
the present ascent trans-Pacifics,
except that the date, November,
1885," is lacking.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER XII

On the following day there took
place another holdup, remark
able not alone for the amount OF
loot involved, but because of Its
wholesale character and because 1t
was committed by the safe four
men who had robbed the Dog
Wagon and its customers, and who
were generally credited with hav-
ing been the authors Of several
perviouS robberieS as well.
Mrs. Harold Henderson, sister,
in-law of the woman who was di-
recting "Half-Acre in Eden" for
the Stagecraft Guild, was giving a
benefit bridge party at her home
Approximately a hundred women
of Bobbs Neck had gathered for
cards, tea and cakes and the pro-
motion of the Village Welfare So
ciety budget.
Conversation had reached that
crescendo which indicates that a
benefit bridge Is at the zenith when
the four men entered the house
without benefit of the doorbell,
ana, taking advantageous positions
In the doorways between living
room, dining room and sun porch,
announced that this was stick
up"
The husband Of Mrs. Hender-
sons maid, assisting for the after
noon, had Just gone to the back
porch to bring In the inevitable
ice cream. He was thus permit
ted the privilege Of viewing a hith-
erto unseen member of the bandit
gang, young man who was
lounging at the side Of the house
and who. at sight of the Negro,
commanded him profanely to get
back in the house, emphasizing
the order with a pistol, quickly
revealed and quickly showed back
into The pocket of his overcoat.
The colored man obeyed, too
frightened to retain any impress
SIGN Of The mans appearance.
In the house the stripping OF
valuable property was accom-
plished within q very few minutes
and the four men prepared to de-
part, first cutting the telephone
wires. The excited women who
crowded to the windows as soon
as the thieves left were rewarded
by seeing them enter two cars, In
each Of which a waiting driver
was glimpsed, and drive off with
out fuss. The license plates were
noted easily. The women did not
see the lookout, for he had de-
parted via the alley, as footprints
In the snow later disclosed.
The police, when they arrived,
were satisfied, first, that the four
men were the Dog Wagon robbers,
and, second, that the four had the
assistance of three outside men, a
fact suspected in that former rob-
berry but not verified.
Marcia Garfield and Helen Wad-
dell had passed the afternoon in
more direct, II less social, endeavor
for the welfare organization. They
had accompanied the nurse on her
rounds, and by occupying them
selves with the new babies and other
troubles Of the towns less affluent
citizens saved the jewelry they wore
and the money they carried.
It was not until evening, there
fore, that they learned of the
holdup. Mr.. Garfield had not re-
turned from Florida, and Marcia
persuaded Helen to dine with her
'Awkins served the crime news
with the meal, to the intense in
terest of both girls.
After dinner they discussed the
idea of going to the movies.
"It suits me-" said Marcia. II
haven't seen a movie in weeks,
and tomorrow night there's re-
hearsal again. Let's - there goes

#. Yates, N. D., Dec. 24.-R-
Three representatives Of the U. s.

termed thorough" examination OF

Of the CCC, Indian division, and
Faris' assistant, D. e. Murphy.
Follows Complaints
Lippert said the investigation fol-
lows complaints by the tribal coun-
Gil, composed Of two elected Indians
from each Of the seven districts IN
which there are q total Of about $500
members of the Sioux nation.
"It Is a general investigation" he
said, "of relief fund expenditures.
how much relief money has gone to
the Indians and the condition OF the
Indians themselves"
Tribal council complaints followed
discontinuance Of work-relief pro-
jects recently for about 400 Indians
and referred to destitute conditions"
and LAX administration"
Investigators Critfzod
Lippert said the federal officials
have been here most Of this week, but
a new protest was made to Washing
ton Indian authorities by John Gates,
chairman Of the tribal council, against
White and Murphy as inspectors.
Regarding the closing Of work-relief
projects, Superintendent Lippert said
such work Is seasonal and you can't
move dirt economically in the win

Indians. however, are eligible for
emergency relief grants from the FsA
If they can qualify, the same Is white
farmers, and most Of the Indians
will be cared for in that way this

knows that application Of this doctrine honestly applied to
modern troubles would wash them all and that much
of the misery mankind knows would disappear.
But mankind knows, too how difficult it is to heed the
warning "Uness We become little children. It knows its

from the high ethical standards which He laid down for all
mankind believes but only haltng and uncertain way
and its reaching for the stars of faith interrupted by jour-
