cine chest, if you can do it by q
simple common-sense "ounce Of

millions, is due to lack of bulk"

BY
Elmo Scott Watson
Saved by Chance
Elmo Scott Watson

THOMAS PAINE, with his STIR
= ring, "These are the times that
try mems SOULS" read to the men
in Washington's army, did much to
relieve the despair of 1776. After
serving as aide. to Gen. Nathaniel
Greene, he became secretary to the
congressional committee of foreign
affairs and helped get loans from
France and Holland.
But aiding the fight for human
liberty of only one people was not
enough for him. Instead of settling
down to enjoy life in the nation he
helped found, he went to England
and, in 1891, published his famous
Rights of Man. for which he was
outlawed by the kings court. Then
he went to France where he was
elected to the national convention.
But when he opposed the execution
OF King Louis XVI, the Jacobins
expelled him from the convention.
When Robespierre came into power,
Paine was thrown into prison and
condemned to the guillotine. He
was saved by the merest chance.
The prison keeper went along the
corridor placing chalk marks on
the doors of those to be executed
the next morning. In the prison
gloom, he did not notice that Paine's
cell door was temporarily wide open
and fiat against the corridor WALL
So he put the chalk mark on what
became the inside of the door when
it was closed.
The guards passed by Paine the
next morning and the delay gave
James Monroe, United States min
lister to France, time to obtain his
release. Suisse

in meat patties or meat loaf? You've
used oatmeal for luscious, soft,
chevy cookies, of course, but have
you tried it for making the crust for
a delectable apple pudding, or have
you substituted it for nut meats in a
rich-tasting torte?
You see, besides adding interest
and variety to meals, and doing
first-class job of budget stretching,
oatmeal may be trusted to add a
large amount of low-cost food ener-
gy to the diet. Oatmeal, moreover,
is an excellent source of vitamin B,
modernly called thiamin. This vita
min is absolutely necessary to en-
able the body to transform food les

appetite, too, and it helps in over

the Mississippi to Natchez where he
took a job with a pack train. Be-
cause they carried contraband, the
party was attacked by Spanish sol
diers. Bean, with few other sur
vivors, was taken to prison in Chi
huahua.
Then followed one of the cruelest
periods of Imprisonment that any
man has ever endured and re-
manned sane. For three years he
lay in prison at Chihuahua and then
escaped only to be recaptured,
beaten almost to death and chained
to the prison wall. After trying to
escape again, he was thrown into a
dungeon at Acapulco. Eventually
allowed to work in chains during
the daytime, he killed his two
guards with a crowbar and got
away.
Again caught, he put in another
year in dark, dirty dungeons and
was fiogged regularly. Again al
lowed to work, he killed seven men
and this time got 300 miles away
before he was seized. In retalia-
ton, he was made the victim Of
almost every kind of cruelty.

years of this treatment, unbroken in

had been so cruel to him begged

The year-old concern Is branch

On the dry storage end, Incl
dentally, the Mart has just &C
quired a two-unit, two-ton electric
hoist.
But the really important
event, Riggs says, Is his new
boat-to-be.
The 55-footer Gallant Lady,
used for charter trips, is we'll
known in Sound waters. Her re-
ception by cruising parties now
warrants something bigger, bet
ter and swankier."

tect Edwin Monk has come to a
point now where the Gallant Lady

As the plans stand today,
she'll be 81 feet long, Is feet

with cruising accommodations

of two.
Riggs, and his staff of six, will
build her, of course. They spe-
