 "What did the officers learn? Did they beat Calazar? Did he talk much?"
 "They did not beat him. They did not bother him much, Santos said"
 "Hmmm." Anger showed on Bar ro's face. Anger and resentment. It was in such moments that he was revealed as a dangerous man. Where are the officers? Los feder- ales, who visited Salazar?"
 They were Starr and Kildare, again. They did nothing, but loaf long around the police station, they go away. I think they ex- pected police to bring in another prisoner, maybe. but nothing comes"
 Barro considered that. He had 12 people = nine men and three women-who had paid him $200 each, American money, to escort them across, and he had planned to send them that night. They were at his own ranch house, IS miles out of Juarez, waiting for him to say the hour.

 Which is why Senor Luis Faus- tino Rodarte y Barro left his aliens in his ranch house for that night, dressed himself as a dirty peon and went cautiously to the mouth of San Felipe Canyon.
 From midnight until after dawn he sat in some shrubbery and rocks just on his side the inter- national line, the barbed wire fence strung there for boundary. He watched the Canyon skyline like a vigilant hawk. He listened intently for any sound, any echo.
 At daybreak especially he look ed, and sniffed for any hint of smoke, knowing that officers then might relax their caution and build a small campfire or at least light pipe or cigaret and knowing that even though air currents swept up that canyon at night, they usually reversed contrarily in the early morning, so odd were the hill form ations there.
 But Luis saw nothing to warn him despite his wearisome vigil. Al 2 a. m. he shrugged his shoulders got up to leave.

CHAPTER V

No man = and certainly no wo- man-had ever met Senor Luis Faustino Rodarte y Barro without being instantly impressed. Senor Barro might well have stepped out of . motion picture film, or from that chapter in a novel where the handsome, heartless villain is intro duced.
 Not that he was unreal. On the contrary, he was anything but fictitious; he was so real that the government of the United States of America had spent thousands of dolalrs combating him and hoping to capture him, and the government of Mexico likewise had a price on his head. Main reason why the government of Mexico did not already have him in prison was that he formerly operated in Mexico City under the name of Portes Juan de Escobar. When police got too close to his swindling activities there, he moved

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Stamps the Gernons Didn't Approve

EVENTS moved swiftly during H the last days of the World War. With the crash of their op- erations on the eastern front, the Germans evacuated to strengthen defenses on the west. Thus were abandoned their headquarters in many strategic cities, some of which were in the territory now known as Latyia.
 Latvia was created a sovereign state immediately after the war. A government must have postage, but when Latvia turned to find paper stock on which to print its first stamps there was none. War had drained the country of sup- plies on every hand. There was one surplus stock, however. Ger man war maps which had been seized in the final campaigns.
 Promptly. the government gath- cred these maps. and prepared them for its first postage. At the same time postage was printed on unfinished Russian ruble notes, on cheap ruled tablets, on ordi- nary school scratch paper. The stamps weren't the ideal of col- lector's heart but they filled the bill, which after all was the pri- mary consideration.
 So Latvia gave the world a set of stamps which Germany cer- tainly wou16 not have approved. One of them is shown here. At the left, above, is a front view of the official stamp. At the right is the same stamp reversed, show- ing a section of once highly con- fidential German military map.
 Latvia, in recent years, has is- sued many beautiful stamps.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In some of the buildings of an
eient Babylon the workers put in
bricks or slabs with words cut into
them. The words usually had a
meaning something like this:
THE temple of the god Enlil, built
by Sargon, the great king, ruler of
Akkad and Sumer.''
Quite number of kings had i'm
prints made on bricks before the
clay turned hard. There also was
custom of putting words on other
pieces of clay. Several kings left
us small clay barrels" each from
8 to inches high and each bear
ing number of words.
Clay pieces with writing on them
have told us hundreds of facts about
the lives of the Babylonians and the
deeds of their kings. Now and then
the writing was cut into stone. An
example of this is stone with the
words of the famous laws of King
Hammurabi. Here are some of the
things the king said about himself:
when lords of heaven and earth
gave the rule of mankind to the
god Marduk they called on me
Hammurabi. They told me, the
great prince, to ing justice to the
land and to destroy the wicked.
They told me to go forth like the

King Of Babylon

That was kind of introduction
to the laws. After they were writ
ten in stone words with this mean
ing were added:
I'm days which are yet to come,
for all future time, let the king who
rules this land follow my laws. If
he does so the sun-god Shamash will
add to the years of his reign. If he
does not may the father of the gods
break his scepter and curse his fate"
The king claimed he had been
given the laws by the sun-god and
to prove it had his own image and
that of Shamash carved into the
stone monument. In actual fact
Hammurabi seems to have obtained
most of his laws from those already
in force in Babylon, putting old laws
together in new form.

Charleston, S. c., March 11.-(AP)
Secretary of the Navy Swanson
said here today that the recent naval
maneuvers in the Caribbean "con-
firmed the opinion of our naval ex-
perts that bases for submarines, de-
stroyers and airplanes are needed in
the Atlantic.
Swanson sailed aboard the U. S. S.
Houston for cruise to the West
Indies
''The reports which I have had of
the recent fleet maneuvers are most
gratifying" Swanson said. Though
no winner is announced at the con-
clusion of these war games, the real
winner is always the American peo-
pie. The lessons learned from such
problems are definite contributions
to the national defense
Swanson pointed out that naval
board recently recommended that
Congress establish naval bases on
Puerto Rico and st. Thomas islands,
and southeastern air base on the
mainland
Charleston is being considered for
the air base, he said.
