X paused, and Guns finger
stabbed the map.
"And here" he remarked, "only
mile or two away toward the sea,
is-Chenham, where Charles Gael
ton isl"
"Quite So" agreed x gravely.
There was a slight pause, then
X continued:
when you leave here you will
pack a bag-as well to travel light,
though-and make straight for the
Belthorn air station. I suggest you
go down by road. At Belthorn you'll
find a man I believe you know
Squadron Leader Hazeldeane."
Tommy HaZeldeane - why, Of
course know him." cried Gun. "a
damned good fellow, too"
Yes, I believe he is-and, Curl
ously enough, he said much the
same thing about you. The regard
is evidently mutual" smiled x.
well, Hazeldeane will be your host
there. He's expecting you. This eve
ming you will dine as guest Of the
mess there. Later, Hazeldeane will
set out on q night 'hush-hush'
flight with an entirely new type of
warplane-said to be the very last
word in that direction i"
Here, for some reason which
Gun could not fatnom, X smiled
broadly, as though enjoying a quiet
joke to himself.
"You will go to the hangar with
him-and at the very last moment
no mention of it is to be made
beforehand, mark you-you will
decide that you would like to go up
with him, and he will take YOU"
X paused, drumming lightly on
the desk with his pencil.
II secm said Gun, and waited
for more. But x went on drum
ming.
And what happens them" Gun
asked, after a moment of silence.
x shook his head.
IT don't know. Perhaps nothing
in neutrality-suspicious. quite a lot.
This is by way of being little eX-
pertinent, you see, and it's impossi-
bic to say just how it will turn out.
But when you are up you will get
certain instructions from me by
radio. I shall use the F.2 Code, and
all genuine messages from me will
be prefaced by the word Toni
spelled as you spell it. You will end
all your replies with the same
word, spelled in the ordinary way,

voice betrayed an unusual eager

Just THAR he agreed. "But 1

either, I'm afraid"
II see!" There was disappoint-
ment in Guns voice. He liked to do
his own flying. well. what do I do,
anyway? And what's it all about,
if ones allowed to ask so personal
a question ?"
X. who was we'll aware that his
reticence was something of a griev-
ance with his people" acknowl-
edged the faint sarcasm with an
equally faint smile.
II don't know that I am prepared
to tell you all the Details" was his
reply. IN any case, they are large
ly matter of conjecture and sus-
picion, as yet. Perhaps this flight
of yours Will make things a little
clearer-at any rate, am hoping
so! I need not ask you if you have
heard about the missing bomber
plaue?"
Gun smiled. ut was a front-page
story in every national newspaper
some months ago!
"EXactlyw said X. Then he asked
abruptly: Had you any theories?"
Nothing very definite" Gun
confessed. AS a matter of fact,
I'm afraid 1 was too much con-
cerned with our affairs to give it
much thought"
We'll, I have" said x, trifle
grimly. I've given it quite a lot of
thought, and I have several theo-
ries. It's in connection with these
Or with one in particular-that
you're to make this flight. And
that's about all I can tell you at
the moment!"
But Guns lazy brown eyes were
alght with eagerness and, leaning
forward in his chair, he ventured
one more question:
do you mean that-you suspect
foul play in the case of this miss
ing plane?"
X nodded.
Eyes! But, mark you, it's only a
suspicion as IT.
IT sect! said Gun, but the eX-
element in his eyes had not abated.
1T sounds interesting, anyway.
Now, what are my instructions ?"
From under his blotting-pad X
extracted a section of map.
This" he explained, covers a
portion of the Essex coast. You
may as well know the lay of the
land. Here, you will observe, is
Southend and the mouth of the
Thames. A little higher, up here
past Durham, is Bradwell. Then
comes the mouth of the River
BlackWater, and beyond that Mer-

B-ightlingsea toward Colchester,
we find Wivenhoe. And between
Wivenhoc and Brightlingsea this

Farm Real Estate Values
Hit High Level In State

pared with only 70 per cent of pre-
war in the year ending March, 1888.
The Is per cent gain from 1893 to
1910 followed more than decade Of
unbroken decline in the value OF
farm real estate, the department said
further.
Along with the rise in farm real
estate values since 1888, there were
more voluntary sales Of farms in
North Carolina and fewer forced
sales and bankruptcies.
Dr.. Schaub said voluntary sales
and trades of North Carolina farms
weer 257 per thousand for the year
ending March, 1899, as compared
with 1875 per thousand for the year
ending March, 1888 On the other
hand, the number of forced farm

HOME RUN CLOUT
BY ARTMAN WON
LEAGUES HONORS
FENcE-BUSTER CAME IN 9Th
WITH TWO MEN ON BASE:
GAME PLAYED AT POINT
PLEASANT. N. ].

Last Sunday afternoon at the
Calyton Field baseball park in
Point Pleasant, n. J., Norman
Artman. son of L. P. Artman,
publisher of The Citizen, and
Mrs. Artman, was the hero of
the afternoon. He came to bat in
the eighth with two runners on
base and the score 9 to Z in favor
of the opposition, the Farmers.
Stepping into one of the opposing
pitchers slants, he clouted the
ball between left and center with
such force that it bounced over
the fence for a homer, making
the score read 10 to 9 in favor of
Point Pleasant-and that was the
score at the end of the game.
The three-run homer by Art
man gave the Pointers the series
and the championship Of East
New Jersey.
. The Ocean County Leader, pub
lished in Point Pleasant, had this
comment:
! Every Worlds Series has its
hero but yesterday the Point
tPleasants had Norman Artman as
their hero when he clouted that
homer with two on base and won
!the game"
& That night at banquet held
at the Hotel Arnold on Point
Pleasant Beach, the mayor of the
city presented the championship
batter and other leaders of the
league special trophies that had
been donated by the merchants.
Norman Altman will be re-
membered by local sports fans as
star baseball, diamondball and
basketball player. He played at
short for The Citizen team when
it won the city softball champion
ship several years ago.

Schultz Plans Bill
ForFederaI Function
Squad of25PoIice
Special DetuiI Would
Escort President and
Assist at Embassies

Chairman Schultz of the Police
and Fire Subcommittee of the House
District Committee today directed
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal
to draft bill providing for creation
of special squad of 25 experienced
policemen to escort the President on
his visits about Washington and to
be available for service at foreign
embassies and legations.
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana revealed the plan after
receiving from Maj. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of police, a
report showing that since July /,
last, 2,249 metropolitan policemen
had been assigned to special serv-
ices for the Federal and foreign
governments, which took up a total
Of 1881 hours of their time. A ma
jority Of the assignments were for
the presidential party-when the
President attended church, ad-
dressed sessions of Congress and
travelled to and from Union Station.
1t is Mr.. Schulte's contention that
the Federal Government should pro-
vide the policemen to escort the
President and guard the foreign en-
bassies and legations so Maj. Brown S
men can patrol the streets.
Mr.. Schulte's bill, he said, will
provide that the Special Service
Squad shall be composed of Metro
politan Police officers who have had
at least 10 years experience and
that their salaries shall be paid by
the Federal Government. The spe-
cial squad would be under the direct
supervision and control of the super
intendent of the Metropolitan Police
force.

requiring strict attention to a
polite and amiable department.
Like many historical documents,
the information that throws light on
the seminary's early history turns up
in unexpected places Nine Despom-
mier's prospectus was salvaged from
an old Baltimore bookshop. The
school gained possession of the
minutes of the meetings of the first
Board of Trustees when the minute
book was found washed up along the
shore of the ST. Marys River, not
far from the school.
River Played Another Role.
The river played prominent part
in the development of the school,
Because of the seminary's location
on its shores the students had COM
paratively easy access to education
by way OF water transportation-an
advantage not enjoyed by a number
of schools where entrance was pro-
vided only by the muddy, almost
impossible roads of the period.
Now, however, distance means al
most nothing. Where the first stud
ents came to school and stayed right
there for the duration, the modern
miss attends classes, and is able to
come to Washington to the theater
and return the same night in buses
provided by the seminary.
Established as an elementary
school in 1846. the seminary now is

women to the age of 90 The enact
ment day celebration today is the

Dentists |ndorse Bill
To Tighten Regulation
Of Profession Here
House Unit Told Thut
Public Protection Calls
For More Effective Control
BY JAMES E. CHINN.


A group of prominent dentists to-
day indorsed a bill designed to mod
ernize and tighten existing law reg
ulating the practice of dentistry
here
Testifying before the Public
Health Subcommittee of the House
District Committee, the dentists de-
clared more effective control over
the profession is needed to protect
the public from unqualified den-
fists.
Chief spokesman for the dentists
was DR.. Henry A. Swanson of the
District Dental Society. who pointed
out the bill the subcommittee had
under consideration had been ap-
proved by the Washington Board Of
Trade and the Federation of Cit
liens Associations.
DR.. Swanson explained changes
that the proposed legislation would
make in the present law. and de-
clared its administration would not
involve any cost to the taxpayers.
Would Bar Aliens.
The proposed legislation would in
crease censorship over dentists who
advertise and would prevent any
dentist who is not citizen OF the
United States from practicing in the
District.
DR.. Swanson was supported by
Drs. Harold N. Hertford, Luzerne
Jordan of the Georgetown Univer-
sity dental school, E. M. Colvin,
Sterling V. Mead and Howard P.
Cobey.
Attorney Albert E. Conradis. who
said he represented DR.. Freiot and
associates, vigorously opposed cer-
tain provisions of the bill. He de-
clared the proposed legislation
would mot in one iota further the
rights and safety of the people OF
the District
Protection Now Held Ample.
Mr.. Conradis said the public is
now fully protected against false
and misleading advertising and all
dentists "as far as qualifications are
concerned
Ale puDllC HeeQS pTOteCIlOn
against the dentist who does not
do good job after he gets patient
in the chair" he declared.
Mr.. ConradiS also said he is op-
posed to permitting the District
Dental Board from depriving a den
tist of his livelihood by revoking
his license. Three of the five
members of the Dental Board under
the proposed law he declared,
could wipe out a mans business"
Paul E. Jameson, an attorney, also
testified in opposition to certain pro-
visions OF the bill. He said he repre-
sented a client who conducted a
laboratory for the repair of false
teeth.
