ARMY SURVEYING DUNES
Designated as Strategic Location
For Coastal Defense

U. S. Army surveyors have sur
veyed the sand dunes around Cape
Henlopen, three miles east of Lew
es. The area is being marked
with red flags from the Lewes
coast guard station, past the two
menhaden fish plants, out to the
U. S. naval radio station on the
point of the cape. This is govern
ment property, part of which was
used in May, 1888, for the war
games" of the SIND Coast Artillery
encampment, Camp Samuel Boy
er Davis" At that time Cape
was designated by army
officials as "a strategic location for
coastal defense" AS the port of
entry to Philadelphia. While no
has been given out by
the engineers, it is understood
ranges are being established in the
water to conform with the land
markers being placed all over the
dunes OF the cape. During the
World War, the Navy maintained
a base at Lewes.

that can always be stationed in the
West.
Instead, we must have mobile
army that can quickly move from
place to place. If we are attacked
on the West Coast, when our main
forces are stationed in the East, it
must be possible to send help to
the invaded area with the least
possible delay. The United States
Army is doing its best to make
rapid transportation possible.
Every branch is speeding up the
addition of motorized units. The
growth of rapid, mechanical fight
ing equipment has been phenomen-
al. Our men, arms and supplies
are today carried on rubber-tired
wheels. Unfortunately, however,
rubber wheels and gasoline and
diesel engines are not the only re-
quirements for rapid movement.
Our hopes for the future may some
day be in the hands of Americas
armed forces. Their ability to full
fill these hopes may in turn rest on
Americas highway system.
How we'll are our highways pre-
pared to meet the test of modern
warfare? You will receive a strik-
ing answer to that question if you,
like thousands of other Americans,
celebrate the Fourth of July with
a motor trip. You will find the
highways congested and incapable
of meeting the demands of modern
traffic. You will lose many min
utes in traffic tie-ups, minutes that
might be priceless to an army in
wartime. If you leave the main
highways, you will find many miles
Of unimproved dirt roads, roads
over which foodstuffs must be
transported from the farms to the

will probably experience at least
one narrow escape from accident
at sharp curve, railroad grade
crossing or some other highway
hazard. You will return home at
night with darkness added to the
other dangers of driving. And

UNEQUAL VISION COMMON
and Nervousness May
Often Be Caused by Aniseikonia

Just as some persons have one
foot larger than the other, there
are persons who have one eye that
sees larger image than does the
other. This condition is known as
"aniseikonia". Recent studies in
dicate that cases of unmatched
visual images are not uncommon.
The condition frequently may re-
suit in fatigue from reading, head
aches, nervousness and train, or
sea-sickness. An interesting case
of unequal visual images is re-
ported in a college student. He
was found to have normal vision in
each eye, but was subject to head
aches, blurred vision after exten-
sive use of his eyes in reading. He
had taken for six months orthoptic
eye exercises without relief. In
estigation showed that the size of
the image in the right eye was
three per cent smaller than the
image in his life eye. Spectacles
to correct the aniseikonia were
provided. His headaches were re-
duced Immediately, he can read
longer without fatigue, and at the
same time blurred, double vision
was eliminated.

Christian Science" Golden Text:
II Peter 1:21. The prophecy came
not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they
were moved by the Holy Ghost. A
bible citation from the lesson-ser-
mon: Luke 17:22O, 81. And when
he was demanded of the pharisees,
when the kingdom of God should
come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God cometh not
with observation: 21 Neither shall
they say ,Lo herel or, 10 there! for,
behold, the kingdom of God is
within you. Correlative from the
Textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: Truth has
furnished the key to the kingdom,
and with this key Christian Sci
ence has opened the door of the
human understanding. None may
pick the lock nor enter by some
other door. The ordinary teachings
are material and not spiritual.
Christian Science teaches only
that which is spiritual and divine,
and not human. Christian Science
is unerring and Divine; the human
sense of things errs because it is
human. This kingdom of God lis
within you, is within reach of
mans consciousness here, and the
spiritual idea reveals it.

The traffic that you will find on
the roads on July 4 will be small in
comparison to the numbers that
must use these same roads in war
time. The inadequacy of our high
ways becomes increasingly appar-
ent as we consider the need for
speed in the transportation of
troops, arms and supplies. We
must strengthen our army, navy
and air force. We must also per-
feet our highway system that we
may be always certain of an affirm

DILL YARDLEY poked a
~ tentative eye outside his
blanket. It was daylight, at
last. Across the tiny cabin
Jim was snoozing quietly, his
m e sured breath almost
drowned by the roaring wind
outside.
Bills eyes surveyed the
cabin with its old stove and
rickety furniture. Cozy
enough, perhaps, but this was
no way to spend an entire
winter, even for the sake of geo.
graphical accuracy. Several hum
dred miles to the south, in Winnipeg,
the government Office was waiting
for early spring when Bill and Jim
could finish their surveying assign
ment and bring back a report.

Ahead, meanwhile, were two months
of this maddening snowbound si-
lence.
Bills glance drifted to the calen-
dar. Suddenly he caught his breath
"Jim!" he shrieked. ''Wake up!

Jim groaned, stirred a bit, and
answered sleepily.

It was kind of childish to let on

put on his parka and headed for
the door.
Lets forget it, Jim," he advised.
I'm going to look at our traps and
get some fresh air. Be back soon!"
It was no picnic, trudging through
knee-deep drifts for two hours. To
make it worse, the traps were all
empty. Even the animals were stay

Suddenly he heard a faint hum in

Bill raced for the cabin door.
IA plane, Jim!" he cried. Get

the clearing.
The pilot saw him gesticulating
wildly, or else he saw the fresh
black smoke over the cabin. The
big ship circled, flew off to the north,
turned and came back, flying low.
Over the clearing it almost stalled
as the pilot dumped overheard a
huge bundle that plummeted into
the snow almost at Bills feet. Then
he waved and sped away.
They got it inside, somehow,
though they wanted to open the bum

rope was torn loose an oilskin pouch

veteran promised to come and
dance at the wedding.
A week went before Bowie, very
impatient, could get back to Quad
alupe. Fortunately, in the circum-
stances, he reached the rancho in
the evening. The night was clear.
A full moon was rising over the
mountains, and just within the patio
a slender girlish figure, wearing the
very highest of her combs and
draped in her most elaborate Chi
nese shawl, waited to greet him.
''Three nights" she whispered
when she could catch breath to
speak, "three nights I have waited
here long, long for you. Wicked
Tejano, to keep a poor, poor girl
shivering out here in the cold. You
need not make excuses. I know
you just forgot me. How are you,
querido? And now that you have
what you call it--a job, you must
ask Don Ramon in the morning for
his daughters hand-if you think her
worth it. I, myself, don't. But
have heard it said that there is no
accounting for tastes"
Don Ramon made the asking easy
for Bowie. ''If Carmen had done
as / wished she would have been
yours long ago. You are welcome
to my household, Senior Bowie.
trust you two may be happy to-
gether and may provide for Quad
alupe the descendants for which
my wife and have vainly longed."
The betrothal was made an occa-
sion of festivity at the rancho, Gull
minating in formal dinner to which
Padre Martinez and his assistant
and Aunt Ysabel from Monterey
were summoned. The household and
the guests sat at table late and had
gathered in the living room with q
fire in the huge fireplace.
While the talk went on Felipe
came in to whisper q message to
Bowie. He excused himself and was
gone only few minutes. When he
returned Carmen looked at him
questioningly, but he ignored all
curiosity concerning his absence
from the room and no one asked
further.
It was only when he and Carmen
were alone after the guests had left
and he was bidding her good night
that he answered her question.
''It was q messenger from DR..
Doane. Felipe will put him up for
the night"
"But what did he want?"
''He brought q message from the
doctor to let me know that Blood
is out again. He broke jail to-
night at Monterey"
Bowie was in Monterey next day
on business. His business was with
Ben Pardaloe. When they had fin
ished their conference Ben had en-
gagged to return to Guadalupe. A
fortnight later Bowie was riding
along the river with Carmen. She
had asked to visit the quarter of
