 American commercial plane lines had things pretty well their own way for years. But now the Ger man Lufthansa will take you al- most any place in South America, and new line has been opened from Peru directly across the jun gles to Natal, connecting with Ger man and French transatlantic lines. Thus even to the west coast. Europe is almost as close in hours as the United States. To the east coast, it is closer.

 The Sheppard committee of the senate, reporting on WPA political abuses and making recommenda- tions for reform, singularly leaves out the most important recommen- dation of all.

In matters of rodeo entertain
ment, Tom Temple was no short
horn. He knew the fundamentals,
plenty of action and plenty to eat
and how to supply them. This was
his day.
About noon Breck came over the
ridge trail and halted his party
where they could look down on the
cattleman's meadow. The scene had
changed miraculously. The camp
that had always been a quiet, Sc
cluded spot, now swarmed with life
horses filed the corrals and were
tied among the trees; men and girls
moved in front of the cabins; smoke
rose from barbecue pits in clear
ing close to the stream; and the
forest echoed with shouts, talk and
laughter.

Senator observed, hating beside
Breck.
The party moved down and was
at once engulfed by the fiesta. Eat

In a short time the sharp ring of
shces on rock that had first warned
him, came again, then broke into
the rapid thud of horse running
up the dim path. Kit raised his
head. Instantly Breck gripped his
nostrils, silencing him.

the other animal appeared in the
lane where Breck watched, and

was unmistakable.

Those who know a good deal about
camels claim that they are the
most useful animals in the world.
The camel has been called the
train of the desert, and it can travel
30 miles day for weeks on end. No
other creature seems to possess
anything like the same stamina un-
der similar conditions, states a writ
er in London Tit-Bits Magazine.
Abstinence from food and water
for days does not seem to impair
its efficiency. The hair is woven
into mats, carpets and clothes, the
hide into tents, shoes and thongs.
The beast provides meat and milk,
and its dung is used for fuel. The
camel has another asset which can
be relied upon. 1t has an excellent
homing instinct, and animals have
found their way $50 miles across the
Australian desert when those who
have ridden them had no means of
finding out their direction.

EDITH STACEY came out of the
- little old-fashioned house look
ing as youthfully sweet as ever
except for her blue eyes which were
full of trouble.
The Stacey's race had been with
poverty, especially since the war
which had claimed two sons-the
father had died at home during that
awful period. So there was only
Edith left, and she was the sole
support of her mother.
Edith went back into the house
and paused in the front hall looking
up at the grandfather's clock in one
corner. Grandfather Garland's
clock had always been admired and
envied by their friends. Mrs. Stacey
had been a Garland, and the clock
had been given to her by her grand
father who made his home with her
until his death. "The clock will
bring you luck, my dears," he used
to chuckle; 81 invested small for
tune in it."
Edith put on her hat, kissed her
mother good-by and tiptoed out of
the house into the village street.
Determination was written all over
her serious face when she entered
Andrew Landon's jewelry store and

he wanted to give her free hand.
In his heart of hearts Josh feared
for the first time, for Andrew
seemed like a man of refinement,
real charm and manliness. Josh
felt that his castle of dreams might
tumble that day, and he went off
to fish, far up the river.
Daphne was exquisite in a silvery
wisp of dress and a wide droopy
hat shadowing the deep violet of her
eyes. No wonder that Andrew glo-
ried in his partner when it came
Daphne's turn to dance with him.
Daphne's heart had pounded when
she stepped forward to meet him,
but no sooner were they actually
dancing together did she become
her normal, level-headed self.
Andrew was delightful. He was
most wonderful dancer. He gazed
soulfully and respectfully into her
eyes but-Andrew reeked of per-
fume and there was the faintest of
makeup beneath his eyes and a be-
coming tint of sunburn that the sun
was not guilty of on his face Daph-
ne smiled softly as she finished her
dance with him, then fled swiftly
from the garden party. She didn't
take time to change her clothes but
hurried to the elevated train and
stayed on it as far as it went. Then
she walked quickly along the river
bank to tiny grove of trees with
some great rocks that lay out on
the river. Josh sat there fishing,
but even if a whale had been on his
line, there was no heart in it. Daph-
ne was perhaps even then in the
arms of Andrew.
"Josh - dear!" Daphne hurled
herself into Josh's arms. There
wasn't a soul in sight and her white,
silky arms went up and tightly
about Josh's neck and she lifted her
lips to be kissed.
The fishing rod foated down the
Hudson while Daphne gloried in
Josh's strong arms, his rumpled red
hair and his rugged face with it's
broad grin.

Joshua

WNU Service.

JOSHUA, or as every one called
- him, Josh, was big and burly
with the kind of red hair that seems
always to have been rumpled by a
stiff breeze. He was pugnacious
when there was anything to be pug
nacious about, but mostly he was
easy going and kindly.
Josh was as butter in the hands
of Daphne Barker, but no one but
himself knew it. Daphne might have
stepped from a Vatican canvas, so
dainty, fair and fragile she looked.
Sometimes Daphne treated the
good-natured Josh with all the love-
illness in the world and sometimes
she seemed to regard him as Just a
big, solid doormat. Josh absorbed
her kindnesses and forgot the rest.
Daphne had heaps of flirtations.
What pretty, fascinating girl has
not? But always she drifted back
to the great bulwark that was Josh.
He had not worried much about
these affairs until the advent, on the
screen, of the handsome, soulful
eyed, Andrew Castigny. Daphne
simply went mad about him. Josh
was certainly the doormat for a
long period. E
And during these fascinated days
Daphne looked at Josh's unruly red
hair and his big useful hands and
his broad grin with comparisons in
her mind that did not bode we'll for
Josh.
When the great announcement
came over the city that there was
to be movie garden party, and
that Andrew was to dance for one
dollar with all and sundry who had
the dollar, Daphne knew that the
great moments of her life were ap-
preaching. 1t was to be tremen-
dous affair and the whole of the
city would flock to see the favorites
of the screen in varied forms of
charitable performances.
NO." declared Josh, adamant in
his decision, "Pd rather go fishing
than doll up on hot day like this.
You put on your best frock, look
your prettiest and have dozen or
so dances with the great Andrew"
He knew Daphne was annoyed, but

Poughkeepsie From Indian Word

Poughkeepsie derives its name
from Apokeepsing, an Indian word
meaning "safe harbor," or water
fall" One of the first instruments
filed in state records gives de-
scription of a tract of land near the
waterfall Pooghkepsingh. Possibly,
because of difficulty of pronuncia-
ton, the earlier English settlers
found it easier to call the settle
ment Poughkeepsie. Barber and
Howe, in their Historical Collec-
tons of New York State" give the
above derivation of the name, but
set it's organization in 1888. The
first house erected on the site of the
present city was built in 1902 by
Myndert Van Kleek. This book,
compiled in 1841, records that the
property was acquired from some
of Van Kleek's descendants by Mat
thew Vassar, who later founded
Vassar college.
