I lie, and he knows I lie, but he
doesn't say so. He gets sort of

while, and he says that's all. He
buys me a drink and lets me ride
out of town, hoping I'll clear his
county before trouble happens.

Yes, but there must have been

POGO looked at her with hot
eyes, his lips curling UP in sneer.

it, ask him that. You won't miss it

He got up and walked off into
the night. When he came back.
Kate was rolled up in her blankets.
One of them was set aside for him
to use. He laid it over her, then
went over to the wounded man,
and saw that he was sunk deep il

an hour before dawn and got up,
and rinsed his face in the cold
water o. the stream, then built up
the fire. Kate was sleeping sound
ly. He went over to the wounded
man, and saw Immediately that
he was dead.
Picking him up, POGO carried
him up above timberline and piled
rocks on him. When he returned,
Kate was still sleeping. POGO took
the dead mans blankets and sad
die, after building up the fire and
leaving a handful of shells for
Kate. Dawn was just breaking as
he saddled the dead mans horse.
He was ready to mount, when he
paused. Walking back to the camp
silently. he stood by Kate, who
was still sleeping.
He looked at her for a long time.
This was girl who had no cause
to treat him kindly. who had even
cause to hate and loathe him. Yet
she had treated him kindly, shared
her food and her blankets with
him, and still, underneath 1t all.

1t was light enough now so that
POGO could pick up the tracks of
the cavalcade that preceded him.
He Travelled fast.
Noon found him at the second
camp Of Two-Way and Cardowan,
and two fresh graves pointed to
something he could not immedi-
ately understand. But investiga-
tion showed him that there had
been turmoil here, and that every
one did not leave at the same
time. But, strangely enough, they
all took the same route.

POGO whirled, his hand dropping
to his gun, holding his breath. He
waited a long time, then said:
Where are you?"
Kate heard the voice and she
crossed the creek, too now.
POGO went down toward the
stream, laid the twigs down, and
put a match to them. BY their
growing light he could see a blan-
keted figure under a tree away
from the stream. A canteen, some
jerky and guns lay beside the man
next to saddle. POGO knelt by
him.
What happened. fella?" POGO
asked gently. Then he saw the
note left on the blanket and he
read it.
The man studied Poco's face in
frowning concentration.

pered.
POGO nodded. "You belong with

Kate said softly, Did he shoot
you?"
The man shook his head slowly
"TWo-Way Hornbeck's bunch. They
surprised us. We fought and
got it."
"Where?"
The man pointed to his stomach
"I'd like a drink" he whispered
wearily.
POGO said, mo good, fella. It'll
hurt worse than being thirsty"
The man smiled family. Hell
I'll die anyway. don't want to die

"All right" POGO said.
After the first deep swig, the
man turned his head away, ano
POGO saw his face screw up in
agony. He watched a little longer
and then he saw that the man
was unconscious. He said to Kate
He'll die"
isn't there anything we car
do?" she asked.
POGO shook his head. "Wher
they get it there, they're done"
She turned away. POGO stakec
out all three horses while she pre-
pared the meal. It was a Scant

ate sparingly and in silence. Kate
too, was silent. When they were
finished eating, POGO went over tc

still unconscious, breathing family
POGO took his guns, plugged out

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Do fat people catch more common
colds than slim ones7
This is question for the medical pro-
fession to figure out, but there are many
lay observers who are willing to swear
to It,
Persons bearing what is called politely
adipose tissue are forever snifning and
sneezing, these observers aver.
In taking seats in public places, these
unprofessional scientific observers even
60 SO far as to steer clear OF spots where
fat people are.
They know that sooner or later-usual-
ly sooner-one Of the fat ones is going to
let 60 with the traditional three sneezes.
X 4+
Why do sneezes usually come In
threes?
That is another neat one for the
doctors.
In the meantime it is common observa-
tion that the person about to come down
with cold will give sneezes as a signal.
This means that the lay observer, who
makes no claim to being scientist, gets
ready to get out OF the way.
He fears the germ, or virus, OF the
common cold, especially If he is inclined
to be on the fat side himself.
X ~
Fat people who have not recognized
the relationship between their flesh and
their colds are rather unobservant
Many OF them might disclaim the rela-
tionShlp, but it is perfectly apparent to
any one who will watch the Office force
OF large building that they simply are
not using their powers in the matter
The relationship between fat and COM
mon colds surely exists. Not that lean
men and women do not catch them but
the chances Of their doing so are not as
great.
III may be that fat, as stored up in the
human body, acts as the best cultural
medium In the world for the particular
germs or vlruses which cause this disease.
Cream put1s are notorious for harbor-
ing germs, and what is a fat human ex-
cept gigantic cream puff, at least in
the sense of fat?
III Is an amazing thing to note how
little ordinary observation Is put on this
matter of taking cold.
Yet 1t Is concern of practically all
OF US, no matter who we are or what we
DO, whether we have what might be
termed literary minds or scientific
minds, whether we are athletcally in
clined or not.
The common cold is everywhere. and

sneezing, red-eyed person says, "Oh,
1t is just cold"
Thus he minimzes in his own mind

listeners, the disease from which he

tween fat and colds is q valid one. the
best preliminary step to tight 1t would
BE- to reduce"
Hence it may be said that the so-called
fad for reducing in recent years, espe-
cially among women, Is not based solely
on the demands Of beauty, but Is a sensi-
bic regimen from this standpoint, too.
1t has been known for years and
preached in practically all the health
books which have been 50 popular, that

fat fellow looks supremely healthy, and
thinks he is, in fact, often prides him.

that many serious diseases are much
more serious with fat persons than with
thin ones
Extra fat on the human frame gives
a nice contour, but seems to attract cold
germs as lemon pie does flies.
The extreme fear of draughts. mani
tested so widely by modern city popu-
latlons, is based more on a sense of chill
than anything else. Simple discomfort
Is at the bottom of It,
If cold is caught, 1t is much more
likely to come because the catcher has

has subjected himself to a wind of some

are as follows:
/. Reduce.
2. Avoid sneezers.
g. Get the skin in good condition.
A. Get plenty of vitamins.
The first two are, alas. easier said
than done, but they offer fine ideals to
shoot at, and. maybe, to hit, now and
then.
The need for skin health, in regard
to colds, has long been known Modern
sanitary living has made it highly pos-
Slble, but sometimes the inclination espe-
cially in winter, is to refrain from avail
ing ones self of it.
Cool baths, followed by the famous
rundown, offer the best possible wav to
put the skin in good condition. Going
out into the cold shortly thereafter is
fine stimulus.

vltamlns as theory, are so new that even
some scientists know little about them.
Careful personal investigation will en-
able any one to know facts in regard to
them which even some physicians do not
know apparently. Whether one decides
TO use them is personal matter. What
must be kept in mind is that they can
be overdone. Concentrates should not

Compares BrOadcastS by
Hitler and Chamberlain,
To the Editor of The Star:

A WELL-KNOWN writer once wrote:
las the man, so Is his speech"
The two broadcasts referred to below
express the character of the two speakers
also the philosophy of the two kinds of
governments they represent
Hitler: On the one hand expressing
aVarlciousness, stubbornness and obsti-
macy in his unjust demands on Czecho-
slovakia, exemplifying his character and
the kind OF government he represents.
Chamberlain: Though his speech was
much briefer. exemplified more logic
and wisdom, absent from boisterousness
and avariciousness, simple and kindly,
showed his character and the kind Of
government he represents, made q far
greater impression on his listeners than
did Hitlers.
One of the reasons Hitler gives in his
ambitions to invade his neighbor is the
Ill treatment Of the Germans under the
Czechoslovakian government
That is what the Communists say
about our form Of government! The
only relief from the capitalistic system
IN the United States is Communism.
While, as a matter of fact, the people
OF Russia are suffering graver injustices
than are the people of the United States.
l believe we should do all we can
within our power to keep out Of an
other world war, but If one should come
and we are eventually forced into 1t, we
ought to unite on the side OF the
democracies.
We could not remain Indifferent when
thousands of people are being mur-
dered by the hordes of godlessness that
threaten the peace, happiness and pros
perity of the world.
We would be bound in conscience to
particlpate-we are not isolated from
the rest of the world.

$4,618,S30 to construct q sanitary and

$4,618530 to construct q sanitary and
storm sewer system which will eliminate
the pollution of Rock Creek
The campaign against pollution. which
has been led by civic organizations and
such conservation groups as the 1zaak
Walton League, has made great strides
in recent weeks. The Maryland SUBJ
urban Sanitary Commission recently an
nounced an immediate program to cor
rect ninety per cent of Montgomery
Countys pollution of Rock Greek, and
the cleaning Of the waters of the Eastern
Branch, Cabin John Run, Sligo Run and
other tributaries. Action is being taken
at Cumberland and in the Leesburg, Va,
area looking toward Improvements above
Great Falls. 100000 is being spent at
the Navy Yard and Alexandria has ap-
propriated funds for engineering studies
of present and future needs in prepara-
ton for the construction of an adequate
disposal plant.
The grant to the District for the Rock
Greek sewers is more than a million and
half dollars above the maximum esti-
mates previously set by engineers for the
job and should be adequate to fulfill the
hopes of officials for thorough curing
of the present insanitary condition.
All these projects, once completed, will
correct practically all of the pollution in
the upper Potomac Valley. They will
serve particularly as safeguard for the
health OF the citizens of the District and
surrounding communities. Once this
phase Of the work has been completed,
the demand for additional facilities to
supplement the present sewage disposal
plant at Blue Plains will be in order.

San Francisco's Loss.

From the government of Puerto Rico
insular news service comes official release
No PIG, to the effect that San Juan
looks forward to a great era of prosper
ity because some of the finest grey
hounds of the sea now are plying be-
tween New York and South American
ports. This makes San Juan Uncle

The greyhounds of the sea that are to
carry prosperity to Puerto Rico are of
