fight and let some germs get past.
Certain kinds of germs lead to
blood poison or lockjaw. These
troubles may sometimes end in
death, or IN loss of an arm or leg.
First-ald experts suggest this
treatment Of a small cut:
l. Cleanse the wound. This can
be done with a piece of clean cloth
or cotton which has been dipped
in alcohol.
2. Apply alcohol, iodine or some
other good antiseptic to the wound.

If you use iodine put on a small
amount. Too much iodine may
burn the flesh.
3. Cover the wound with q piece
OF sterile cloth-that is, cloth which
is free of germs. Drug stores have
rolls OF gauze which are good for
the purpose. They also sell small,
handy bandages, ready for quick use.
Never put a piece Of court plaster
or adhesive tape on the wound itself.
Sticky tape" is made to hold the
clean cloth on the wound.
If a wound shows any sign of
Infection see doctor as soon as
possible. The tip of a persons little
finger is worth more than the cost
Of many visits to a doctor. If this
is so, how much more is a persons
hand, arm, leg or life worth!

Tommy looked surprised and
shocked.
But surely we're going to take

answered. give a little game to

nized. You can fly her, I suppose!'
"Oh, I can fly anything that will
fly" Tommy answered mooes'ly'
But"
I'VE can't push her out Of here
can you taxi out?"
81 think so-if the gates are op-
posite the hangar DOORS
They were, and a few minutes
later the engine roared, and Tom
my gently and expertly TAXED the
plane out of the hangar and on
to the runway.
Then they hurried back and, un'
der Guns direction, sluiced some
gallons of gasoline all around the
workshops and hangers.
"Now, give me n of your Mills
bombs, and get back to the plane.
Get the engine started and
Hullo!"
From somewhere not far away
a shout came to their ears, and
then another.
They're coming around!" Gun
cried. Jump to it,"
He waited until the roar Of the
engine came to his ears, then he
pulled the pin out of a Mills bomb
and dropped it into the workshops.
He ran to the hangar and did the
same ~thing-then raced for the air
plane.
The roar of the flames followed
almost instantly on the explosions,
and as Gun reached the plane there
already was enough light from the
fire to e vaguely one or two fig
ures staggering about.
They won't be compos mentis
for a bit yet" said Gun, as he
climbed into the plane. so l guess
we're all right"
The engine roared and they
bumped over the ground, then rose
into the air. AS they did so a cou
pie of red flashes stabbed the semi
darkness below them.

II wonder if any of those poor
wretches out there have got

Gun shrugged.
ITS likely, 1 think. But it cant
be helped-kid gloves don't fit or
this sort of thing.
mo, I suppose not, Coral
sighed. but one or tw' of those
boys were very nice to me.
Lets get out of this, said Gun
We've plenty to do yet-and Lore
knows when that gas will work
off.
I must have a drink before
can do another Garned thing,
Tommy announced-and the others
did not disagree with him. They
found a tap with a tin mug at
tached-presumably put there fol
the workmen, and they drank Gag
erly.
In the kitchen of Trents bunga
low they found bread, ham anc
biscuits, and made : hasty meal
They next searched the whole
place, and in a bungalow near the
gates they found three bandagec
men. The windows had been open:
and the gas had found them. They
were quite unconscious.
The dynamos were not running
and so there was no electric light,
but they had found more torches
Gun calculated the distance be-
tween the workshops and the hos
pital-hut, and then said:
81 guess they'll be safe enough
here-the winds blowing away
from them. But if not, they'll have
to take their chance. AS said be-
fore, no kid gloves!
The others did MOI ask him what
he meant, but they soon knew.
Having wrecked the wireless

hangers. There were two planes

"I'll never forget the Prince
ton game" Shipley grinned.
"They had big fellow by the
name of Loeb who led the Eastern
League scorers three consecutive
years and if he didn't get II or
18 points he considered it an of
night. The night we played them
he was definitely "on." We tried
everything but breaking his leg
to stop him. Finally I looked at
Stevens on the bench and told
him to go after him.
Mike usually was cool under
fire, but this night he was on the
floor before I'd finished talking to
him. He was so excited he forgot
his pants. Well, he realized some-
thing was missing about the time
he got to the referee so he didn't
stop to report, but kept on going
to the dressing room. Let me tell
you he was travelling, too."
But the story has q happy end
ing, because Mike not only STOP
ped Loeb. but scored a couple Of
baskets in the last two minutes
that showed Maryland way out in
front.
Maryland had another peculiar
experience with the Tigers in a
game at Baltimore the year pre-
vious A Princeton substitute en-
tered the game with a piece Of
paper apparently containing writ
ten instructions. But when the
referee asked to see it the boy
showed it in his mouth and chew
ed it up.
Maryland's 1926 record was the
second best in the East. Syracuse
topped it by a single game, but
Old Line supporters were willing
to settle for IA victories against
two defeats, especially since Navy
was included among the victims.
That was the game in which
Ensor stood out above all others.
The score was Pip and II Of
Maryland's points were tipped
in by the tall forward while Faher
accounted for the other four.

Free Toss in Overtime
By Hathaway Decides
1877 Contest
BY ROBERT HENRY.

Don't be alarmed. That rumbling
heard around town today is no
earthquake. but reverberations from
last nights basket ball game at Tech
gym, in which St. Johns nosed out
Gonzaga, % to q.
The noise isn't worrying st. Johns,
which appears to have a good
chance to retain the Catholic high
school title it has held the last three
years.
All the Johnnies need is victory in
the next with Gonzaga scheduled
three weeks hence. But that will re-
quire their all-and maybe bit
more.
Last night some 5000 fans showed
symptoms of apoplexy as they
watched the well-matched fives
battle three minutes overtime before
Dick Hathaway of st. Johns tossed
free shot into the basket to give
his side a hard-earned triumph.
Hathaway Makes Good.
With but three seconds of play re-
naming, Vince Burke, who had re-
placed Gonzaga's Charles Rowzee,
fouled Hathaway, who then made
good his golden opportunity.
The game had been tied, 27-all. by
GonZaga in the last few seconds of
the regulation time on Lane O'Don-
nell's free toss. Then Frank Cor
RADIO, who played a great game for
st. Johns, missed free shot to end
the tussle.
Near the finish of regular time,
play was held UP as Gonzaga de-
bated substitution. Then Frank
Cady, st. Johns mainstay, was
elected from the game for a tech
nical foul.
Cady's substitute, little Larry
OBrien, was forced from the over
time play after he had injured his
hand while preventing Freddie Rice
from sinking a shot that would have
meant victory for Gonzaga. The
fans made playing difficult in this
overtime period by surging onto the
court and refused to back up until a
blue-coated law enforcer made a
business-like appearance.
Score Tied Five Times.
The score was tied five times al
together and st. Johns had to come
from behind in the last quarter to
recapture lead held earlier in this
frame. Gonzaga led until just be-
fore the third period ended. After
that the Purple could do no more
than tie the score twice.

Fiery Mythical Fights
Don't Pay Tunney
By JOHN LARDNER,

special correspondent OF IHe StdI.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2 (N.AN.A).-
Gene Tunney, the cultured marine,
wrote story for magazine this
week about a hypothetical fight
between Jack Dempsey and Joe
Louis. Dempsey won by a knock
out in the first round. This is
happy news for Mr.. Dempsey and
I will not be surprised if the old
man mauler, being pressed for
cash, calls around at Promoter
Tunney's Office in the morning to
collect his share of the purse.
The least Mr.. Tunney can do is
give the winner 371a per cent Of
what he got for staging the fight
and the loser 17la per cent He
can keep the rest. Dempsey and
Louis are not greedy, just practical.
There is no limit to what a we'll
rounded literary man like Tunney
or myself can do with the hypo-
thetical fight racket. For instance,
have lined Mr.. Tunney up for
series of hypothetical fights with
all the heavyweight champions in
history. He does all right, too. AS
follows:

Woy 1t Would Have Been
With Jack Johnson

This was a thriller. At the start
OF round one both men jumped into
defensive attitudes, Tunney employ
ing a 6-2-2-1 defense and johnson
being represented by counsel. Both
claimed the victory at the end of
is rounds.

explained Lii Artha. But what am
I gonna use for cab fare home?"
The judge gave johnson S. and
awarded the fight to Tunney.

Gene danced around as Big Jess
looked for an opening. He finally
found one in the dry goods business
and went off to report for work, leav-
ing the manly marine master of the
field.
