duty in the booth heard his shout and
put his head out of the window
Phone the Start" Joel's voice made
the spectators turn toward him open

The mans head disappeared inside
the window. A few seconds later he
reappeared His voice shook: "Num-
Der Seven just started"
AS the sled went over the starting
line and leaped forward in the trough,
David gripped the side ropes until his
knuckles whitened. He gritted his
teeth as the sides of the trough and the
pine trees went flashing by in flicker
ing ribbon. He concentrated all his
will in keeping hold of the ropes.
Karen took the first turn without
calling for the brakes. Already the sled
had acquired such momentum on the
glare ice that it seemed to fly through
the air without touching runner
Only the thunderous rattle over the
slight irregularities in the ice showed
that they we're in contact with it,
Eyrie Turn is sharp bend to the
right. As they shot toward it, Karen
shouted back the short command over
bor eho,,Idor. HPraLocI''
David heard the grinding shrek of
the claws biting down, saw out of the
corner of his eye the leaping fountain
of ice dust. But the check in their
ever accelerating speed was so slight
that he couldn't detect it. But now he
was hardly aware of the sensations
outside of himself. He recognized
with horror the identical feeling that
he had had the year before. The grow
ing impulse to let 60, to throw himself
off. Growing inexorably. He fought it
down. Repeated under his breath:
Keep hold, keep hold. keep hold!
Karen half turned her head:
"Brakesw
The grinding shrek began again.
But suddenly it was interrupted by
another sound. A sharp metallic ping.
There was no more grinding, no more
ice fountain. The sled sprang ahead
faster than ever.
Karen's head snapped around until

sound of shouting was in his ears. He
held on :.
From his place at the inner rail of
the Curve, Joel Todd saw the whole
thing clearly. He was able to describe
it afterward in minute detail. Miss
Wentworth's sled, he would say. came
down the trough at tremendous clip.
Still in control - until it hit the curve.
Of course, she never had chance of
steering it. even if that bastard, Alling,
hadn't jumped. Because he had
jumped - in spite of everything he
tried to say afterward to clear himself
of the stigma.
Then something happened. Some
thing that never was seen before on a
bobsled run. The man at Number
Three deliberately threw himself off
the sled holding on to the side rope
Of course he was jerked ahead like
sack of meal tied to a locomotive
But somehow he managed to hold on.
The sled careened violently and slowed
back and forth. Then, as it reached the
beginning of the Curve, the dragging
weight brought the sled broadside on.
That's the way it climbed the wall -
sideways in burst of ice dust from
the scraplng runner. The dragging
weight kept it from turning over. The
pace began to slacken like that of
skier making stop turn. They rose
almost to the top, hesitated, then slid
down again. Came to safe rest in
pile of legs and arms around the other
side of the Curve.

doctor Shock. Numerous abrasions.

Complete rest"

Its the sunnlest in the Lodge. And
we'll all wait on him hand and foot"
With an indescribable tumult of
emotion David realized that his head
was in karen's lap. She was bending
over him. stroking his forehead. She
bent lower to whisper in his ear:

seized that wrist with the other hand.
With a swift. rolling movement he
threw himself off the sled He was
jerked forward with wrench that
brought shock of killing pain. He
felt something give in his shoulder.
His fingers frightened on the wrist,
gripped it hard.

u. S. College Biologists
Study Quebec Salmon

Atlantic salmon, the mysterious
fish that lure thousands Of anglers to
Quebec each year, will be the SUBJ
ject Of an intensive biological re.
search conducted by three promi-
nent American college scientists who
recently have set up a laboratory
near Gaspe.
The habits and unpredictable re-
actions of the Atlantic salmon have
baff1ed scientists for many years.
The fishermen have accepted the
known fact that the great sporting
fish, who battle courageously to the
end Of the anglers line, appear at
certain river openings making wild
dash to reach fresh water spawning
grounds. The open season for At
lantic salmon is May l to August
81. They congregate before the
run" in zone roughly circum-
scribed by the Isles de la Madeleine,
Newfoundland, the Gaspe and Lab
rador coasts.
But scientists want their questions
answered. They will try to find out
why the salmon live in salt water
and spawn in fresh water. where the
fish 60 during their seasonal dis
appearances. and what becomes of
them during cyclic shallow runs. +"
The biologists will also study sal
mon blood in an attempt to discov-
er the changes that take place as the
fish pass from salt to fresh water.

Business Head Keeps at
His Job in 91st Year

CHARDON, OHIO. - Arthur L.
Johnson, 81, believed to be the old
est active business man in this Sec
ton, still is going strong, working
at his Office desk every day.
When Johnson was 66, the age
many men decide to sit back and
watch the world, he opened an office
and warehouse for sale Of fertilizer
and farm machinery.
He never has worn glasses. He
is hale and hearty, his face unwrin-
killed.. He looks only about 60.
'The old man with the scythe
hasn't seemed to be able to make
any inroads on me-" johnson said.
perhaps it's because I keep con-
tinually active"
The biggest laugh he has had in
years was occasioned when an in
surance agent tried to write him a
policy, believing he was about 60.
Johnson, who was a farmer until
he opened his present business, is
looking forward to his regular &C.
tivity nine years hence-when he
starts his Tooth year.

Canadian Farmer Finds
Ancient Dinosaur Bones

Flowing on his farm near Grande
Prairie in the Peace river country
of northern Alberta, Robert Coch-
rane unearthed a quantity of what
appeared to be fiat or Clipped pieces
of stone.
Closer examination revealed them
to be pieces of bone. Cochrane for
warded the chips to biologists at
the University of Alberta. Several
weeks later he was advised that they
were pieces Of the vertebrae Of
species Of dinosaur not unlike those
discovered in the Red Deer valley Of
Alberta, about 500 miles to the south
east.
The discovery marked the first
time that dinosaur bones had been
discovered north Of parallel S."
and proved that these giant animals
had roamed much farther north than
formerly was supposed.
Bones of the mammoth have been
found south of Saskatoon Hill. In the
bed of the Beaverlodge river, Ted
Chambers found thigh bone and
a few weeks later, part Of the pei
Wis of a mammoth. Both bones were
in an excellent state of preserva-
ton. The thigh bone weighed 20
pounds.

The best pleasures are first, the
simplest-pleasures which require
least machinery, least effort on the
part of others; second, the least ex-
pensive; third, the most accessible;
fourth, those that can be most wide
ly shared; fifth, those that can be
most often repeated without doing
harm to body, mind, or soul; sixth,
those that call into action the high
est qualities Of life. The best pleas
ures are what we might call top
floor pleasures; that is. the pleas
ures of mind and spirit. If we test
our pleasures by such laws as these.
they will take us outdoors instead
of indoors; to nature, and not to arti-
fetal things; to wholesome exercise,
and not just to idle entertainment;
to music, friendship, and books rath-
er than to excitement and things
that are artificial.

While the Norwegians have a

centage of home and land owners
OF any European countries. Where
such happy condition prevails the
freedom of the people, is securely
established. 1t has been my obser-

Civil War Engine Factory
Undergoes Modernization

The famous Ericsson en-
CINE factory at Walden, N. Y. found
ed in 1912 by Capt. John Ericsson,
builder Of the warship Monitor Of
Civil war fame, has been sold, and
is being modernized by the pur.
chaser.
The desk upon which Capt. Erics-
son designed the Monitor in response
to the plea Of President Lincoln for
a ship to meet the challenge Of the
Merrimac, is also included in the
sale and will continue in use.
In addition to his work on the
Monitor, Captain Ericsson also in
vented the screw propeller, the gun
turret and the now all but obsolete
hot-air engine. He is generally
called the father of the modern bat
tleship.
The Walden factory was for gen.
erations known as the home Of Cap
tain Ericsson's hot-air pumping en-
CINE. This was one of the curiosi-
ties Of engineering science. familiar
to most graduates of engineering
colleges today on account Of its lab
oratory use in demonstrating ther-
modynamics.
In the old days, however. before
the advent Of electricity, 1t was
widely used throughout America.
and before New York city had &C.
quired high-pressure water sys-
tenn. thousands were installed In the
Easements Of the old "brownstone
fronts" to pump water to the attics.
These engines are still used in
many countries abroad, where cleo
tricity is not available. and where
both fuel and labor are cheap. Only
last year the Mexican government
purchased II to pump water to way
side locomotive water stations-and
this order practically wiped out the
stock on hand at the old factory at
Walden.

Questions Pertaining to
Agriculture Problems

On my farm I have some nice
ash trees to feet tall that have
grown from seed. Could these be
transplanted this fall with a fair
chance that they would grow next
spring?
Since there is always the danger
that fall-planted trees will be
heaved out of the ground by
frost, it would be better to trans
plant them next spring. If you do
transplant them this fall, mulch
them heavily, but leave an opening
of or inches around the base Of
the trees; otherwise you are likely
to have injuries from mice. Don't
keep the trees out of the ground
longer than absolutely necessary
when moving them and If they are
growing in heavy soil it is well to
keep a ball of dirt around the roots.
e. G. Cheyney, division of forest
ry.
Can you furnish plans for build
ing a poultry house into a side
hill location?
We do not recommend building
into a side hill as it is almost inn
possible to keep such a house dry.
You would do better to sacrifice
the extra space thus provided and
build your house with all of the
floor above ground level. Cora
Cooke, extension poultry specialist.
On a rented farm, should the
tenant or landlord furnish the al
falfa seed?
Under all types of leases, it is
customary for the landlord to fur
nish the grass seed, including sweet
clover and alfalfa. In some Sec
tions, particularly where the land
is highly productive, the cost of the
grass seed may be shared equally.
In such cases, the lease should pro-
vide for reimbursing the tenant
for his investment in the event that
he does not remain en- the farm
long enough to obtain the full bene-
fit from the seed. j. B. McNulty,
extension economist.

quently, but so far as know is
used very little, if at all. Where
the number of stumps is not too
great, and where they are net too
near buildings, dynamiting has
proved the most satisfactory meth

tons in the cut-over region where
large areas are to- be cleared, the
