 The husband said he made some inquiries and found out, he de- clared that "a man on the Ton gass" was the cause of the request i for divorce. He and his wife had come to an agreement regarding the youngster.' he explained. The Smiths have 15-month-old daugh- 1 ter, Louise.

My informant, being pressed, told us many things about airplanes which, considered not the best for this modern, highly mechanical country, were still first-rate for foreign sectors.
 When the curtain fell on the use fulness of those big tri-motor planes, for instance, there were l32 of them in this country. Now there are only eight. The others? They're still great planes, Babb says. They're cargoing supplies and medicines over the impossible mountain barriers of Alaska, Gen. tral, and South America. In those countries the automobile isn't much good But the plane, on skis, pon- toons, wheels. adopts itself to any terrain and is often a godsend to bleaguered miners, hemmed in by mountainous barriers, facing star vation.
 AilQ providing planeS TOT IHeSe assignments is Babb's business. Hes plane broker. He buys and sells. He gets great kick out of it. He's the man who bought all of Byrd's antarctic equipment.

Senator from Maryland has been
launched by Mauritz A. Hallgren,
Hartford county dairyman, who
has filed to run against Millard

In a letter to Senator Tydings

that the pouring of unlimited

in a relatively small State, while
temptation to a wealthy man, is
"a serious threat to democratic
processes"
After charging that TydingS is

advantage" each side agree to

This didn't mean that the milk
of human kindness had suddenly

arteries. 1t simply meant that
Jukes had made up his mind that
the tramp could do him a service
"a great service. He had talked
It all over with his wife, the house
keeper, and she had agreed.
BEGGAR'S THE GOAT
'I tell you. Sarah, it's our only
hope. Ever since the Madam told
the police her jewels were taken
we've been under suspicion. Even
after she proved her trust in us
by leaving us with the house when
she went South the police kept an
eye on us.
Now if we can slip a bracelet
or a ring, or something, into that
tramp's pocket, we can call the
police and say that the beggar has
come back for more. While the
police are busy with him we can
dispose of the jewels"
Sarah's eyes grew wider with
admiration while Jukes outlined
his plan.
You always were a one for
thinking" she exclaimed.
The sound of the backdoor buzz
Ger sent her flying to the door.
Jukes went into another room.
Please ma'am, is there some
thing I could do to earn a bit to
eat" the beggar began.
why certainly, my good man.
Mrs. Atkinson tells us never to
turn away a hungry man. Step
In"
The bum-whiskery unkempt,
and red-faced from the strong lake
breeze which blew up Lake Shore
Drive-stepped in promptly. His
eyes roved about a kitchen so
large and shining white. They
fell to his grimy shoes. He hesi-
tated.

housekeeper Sarah. Most of the
help has gone South with the
Madam but can wash up what

Sarah explained Just as though
they hadn't been watching the

OF their Gold Coast neighbors.

know what the Bible says"
The couple motioned the bum to
the table. Sarah set the food be-
fore him with alacrity-cheeses,
cold meats, fruit, icebox cookies,
cold milk, celery, radishes. For a
few minutes there was no sound
other than his crunching. Then
he wiped his mouth with his
sleeve.

WINTER TESTING NEW
CONTINUOUS RAILS IDEA

Construction engineers of the
Great Northern railroad are watching
while Old Man Winter applies the acid
, test to the first experiment in the
Northwest with continuous rails.
Two rails, each more than a milo
long, are in place on the system g line
cast of Rexford, Montana. Phey were
installed in September, and daily in
pection up to November Is failed to
show any movement in the rail ends.
However, the experiment has yet
to be subjected to the combination OF
heavy traffic, snow and intense, last
ing cold factors which will determine
strength Of the weld.
The continuous track is series Of
ordinary, 3Sfoot rails, welded togeth-
er. Welding was done on the track on
the track shoulder and steel was NOV
ed into place In one piece.
Engineers employed siandar fast
enings in laying the continuous rfails
and added clip Of spring steel -hl'h
attaches the rail to tic tao plate
through bot. The dip Lifts the tie
plate against the rail with pressure
of 1000 pounds, tending to eliminate
creepage Through contraction and
expansion.
Thee ont7nous rail reduces noise, af-
fords smoother riding surface and
reduces track maintenance costs.
