8 sixth sense hadn't told me to. Before Adam left for this hunt I asked him to give it up. He has had too many closeups with death in the jungle.
 "It worried me. On the last hunt, in India, tiger mangled his arm. If Hugh hadn't been along with his cool nerve and in- stant aim, it would have been all over. You must have heard the story?"
 Braitwood nodded. 'The Lang donS have always hunted" he said. T can't imagine them de- prived of the excitement"

 Hardly that" Sidney argued Adam is not the man to shock his friends without preparation"
 Apparently treasured, she 0lC not pursue the idea, and they drove on in silence.
 Why has Marta never married Adam Langdon? Sidney asked him. self the question for the hundredth time. It would have been an ideal match and he knew that Langdon had always wanted it. Marta had always refused, yet she had held Adams friendship to the exclusion oi other women. Probably she thought closer tie would injure her pro- fession.
 Hardly had they drawn up un- der the porte-cochere of the ram- bling old stone house Langdon's grandfather had built as 8 retreat for an all but insane wife, when the storm broke in full fury. Rain beat against the car and wind whipped their clothing about them as they ran across the veranda to the door.

country has institutions more demo- cratic than any other country has ever had. I am talking of something more fundamental than our Consti-, tuition and political forms. We are without the traditions Of class pri- Vilige which poison not only Europe, and Asia, but Latin America as well. Only Canada and Australasia share this asset with us. We are all des- cendants of poor immigrants, born on the wrong side of the tracks The only aristocracy we possess is that of money. But when a pluto crat thinks he has founded dynas- ty, the family fortune is quite ike ly to explode under him. The Sixty Families come. and poufl they are gone.

We have little sense of class for poor boys are always working their way through college to elbow stuffed shirts out of the professions We are probably incapable of a pro- letarian revolution, for outside of few clerks with l1orn-rimmed spect- acles in the Communist Party, no American will admit he is a prole- tartan. We have no State Church to frighten us into subjection with ghost stories. We refuse to accept the notion that anyone is better than we are. When somebody sets up to be, 1t is the practice and duty of all good Americans to pull the chair out from under him. We are not split as is unhappy Europe, into 26 soverign nations, each with a diff ferent language, currency. and tfad- ition.

Believe Airports Goal

After a survey OF the raid area,
extending from Yorkshire to Kent,
south of the Thames, authorities
expressed belief the German planes
had sought to knock out royal
air force airdromes. from which
British planes are attacking their
army on the Somme and bombing
military objectives over wide
area in Germany proper.
The raids were called officially
the first business ones of the
entire war on the English coast.
There was no indication serious
damage had been done and
casualty reports listed only six
persons slightly wounded, but IT
was expected that more, and more
determined raids, would come.
