Watching Latin-America

There is really more concern in
Washington over possible Ger
man interference in Latin-Ameri-
ca than of any direct threat to
the United States. Under the
Monroe Doctrine this country is
bound to aid all other American
nations against foreign aggres-
sion. Recent statements of the
President have extended the in
depreciation of the Monroe Doc
trine to include Canada.
The best opinion of the mill
tary experts here, backed up by
reports of military attaches of
our European embassies, is that
the preesnt war is likelysto be a
long-draWn-out conflict. Public
opinion will be the determining
factor, it appears, in deciding
whether this country gets in or
stays out.

New Method Preserves Plants, Insects in Natural Colors
ITO BE CONTINUED

est mount prepared SO far is an ear
of hybrid corn.
The other method, developed by
G. r. Fessenden, is a chemical
process for treating fresh plant ma
terial in such way as to tougher
the tissues and set the natural col
or. The natural beauty of flowers,
or the exact appearance of either
healthy or diseased leaves, can be
preserved by immersion in special
ly formulated water removing
syrups. Each plant species requires
an individual treatment which has
to be worked out from seven gen.
eral types Of formulas.
The old method of preserving
botanical specimens-pressing and
drying-was unsatisfactory because
of loss Of color and the fact they
were easily destroyed by handling
or by insects or mold. Specimens
preserved by this new method are
sealed between sheets of cellulose
film so as to be protected from
damage.

Two methods of preserving indef-
initely in their natural colors such
agricultural specimens as leaves,
flowers, fruits, seeds, insects, and
other biological material have been
developed by chemists of the United
States department of agriculture.
The processes, while supplementing
each other, have different fields of
application-one for dried and the
other for fresh material.
In the method studied by DR..
Charles E. Sando, specimens are
suspended an6 embedded in metha-
crylate, a crystal-clear plastic SIM
liar to materials used in making
nonshatterable airplane windows.
IN this process, the specimens must
be dehydrated or dried out to pre-
vent moisture from clouding the
glass-like plastic material. They
may be air-dried or dehydrated by
use of alcohol or ether.
Corn and other grains or seeds,
insects, or anything that does not
lose its color or shape with drying,
may be preserved by this method,
possibly only under controlled lab
oratory conditions. Once the plas-

and unscrewed the frame. It was
a hardly conscious gesture: It was
much too hot for tennis. She walked

As she approached the palace
front door, she saw Norwood's horse
near the portico. She recognized
Norwood's sails, squatting down I'M

Then she saw Rundhia. He had

DRY of Aunty!"
All the way up the palace stairs
and along the ancient corridor, Run
dhia chartered gaily. Lynn answered
in monosyllables, perfectly aware
that Rundhia was talking to divert
attention from his motive.
Beauty and the beast!" said
Rundhia.

He kept his distance. That sinu-

He walked ahead of her through the
narrow anteroom, where two tur-
baned guards salaamed respectful
ly. Rundhia spoke to one Of the
guards, who switched on the electric
light in the treasure room. The
masonry wall was ten feet thick;
the door a foot thick. The guard
closed the door behind them and
opened an eyehole. Lynn could see
the guards eyes.
There was long teak table be-
tween her and Rundhia. loaded With
golden and jewelled ornaments: en-
bossed golden shields, scimitars in
gold sheaths, scores of objects such
as are carried in procession by the
servants of an oriental throne. Elec-
trio light shone within lanterns, sus-
pended on chains from the ancient
beams. At the far end of the room,
on the right, was huge glass case,
in which the famous Kadur dia-
monds sparkled, stealing color from
the jewelled lanterns.

CHAPTER VII

Norwood left his horse in charge
of the sails at the palace front gate.
He intended to return and ride up
the long drive to the front door for
his formal call on the Maharajah.
But the iootpath to the guesthouse
was shorter than the winding car
riage-road, so he walked, to leave
the iodine for Mrs. Harding. On the
way he saw Lynn and Rundhia.
Lynn was no longer in riding
breeches. She looked delicious in
a frock of nile-green print and
wide leghorn hat. Norwood wasn't
sure, but he suspected she knew
she could be seen from the guest
house veranda. and that Rundhia
did not know She and Rundhia
were laughing Suddenly Rundhia
snatched her hat off, used it as
shield to hide behind, caught her
L, his arms and kissed her. 1t was
10 fool of kiss. It was an expert
ence. Lynn did make show of re-
sistance. She struggled free and
recovered her hat.
Norwood's view of it, against the
background of the ieghorn hat, made
him set his Jaw But he relaxed it
again and smiled, bit grimly,
bit maliciously. From the opposite
direction he had heard what sound
ed like an oath, although it was
nothing worse than the well-bred, al
most inarticulately gurgled word:
''Hussyl"
Aunty Deborah Harding had also
seen that lingering and only laugh
ingly resisted kiss.
Aunty was on the screened We
randa, propped on pillows, on a
reed chaise Tongue, with table
beside her A native servant was
just in the act of removing a tray
of breakfast things.

to push and pull me about This is

morning. You'll have to run away
il can't keep it down. What has
brought you, pray. at this hour?"
He had forgotten the iodine.

"Win you bring my niece here?
