Gun repeated the message over
the radfo-phone to Tommy Hazel
deane. whose comment was:
Smart lads. They think OF
everything.!"
They flew on and on, at the same
slow pace. The view was monoto-
nous. Below them white clouds,
piled like drifting snow. Above,
them darker clouds, CONTINUOUSLY
heaped.
Then, presently, the cloud belt
above broke, and the sun, warm
and dazzling, shone on them. Bu1
only for a short while. Suddenly
Gun became conscious of a shadow
that fell across them and, looking
quickly up, came near to catching
his breath. For flying about three
hundred feet above, on a parable
course to their own and directly
over them, was a gigantic black
plane of the bomber type!
Seen thus, the thing looked more
than sinister, it looked almost In
credibly menacing, like a gigantic
bird of prey lowering ever thei1
small, defenseless plane. Nor die
the scarlet numerals on the under
side of the great sable wings
''G1313" do anything to set Gums
mind at rest. After all, the bonnie,
had disappeared-and what better
method of causing the total disap'
pearance of a plane than to send il
hurting and blazing into the sea
below.
The radio-phone blared suddenly
at him, in the distorted voice Of
Tommy Hazeldeane:
Here comes ours, Gun-si1
tight, my lad, I'm away out OIL
this!"
There came the added roar o.
the accelerated engine, and next
moment Tommy had gone into q
nose dive, so that they plunged
headlong into the cold, damp OBJ
security of the clouds below them.
That's better!' came Tommy's
voice in relief, as he flattened our
again.

Boys Clubs Of America
To Get D. T.. Invitation

An invitation to meet in Washing
ton in 1941 will be extended to the
Boys Clubs of America at the ma
tional convention at Boston May
1923, according to the Board of
Trustees of the Washington Boys
Club.
At recent meeting of the trustees
William E. Russell, chairman of the
Camp Committee, reported the gift
of two new cabins for Camp Reeder
for the coming season. He also
recommended that electricity be in
stalled at the camp and the kitchen
enlarged.
The board approved sending

Nearly $4,000 Is Reported
In Police Boys Club Drive

The 500 members of the Metro
politan Police Boys Club campaign
solicitation group were continuing
to seek donations from washington
business and professional men to-
day, after reporting total of $5,596
at their first luncheon in the audi
torium of the Cosmos Club yes
terday.
The group is seeking to reach a
quota of $4,000 In the clubs drive
for $4,000.
Morris Cafritz, president of the
organization, told the meeting the
clubs expanding program of service
to underprivileged boys had taken
it "out of the dollar gift class" and
urged the solicitors to emphasize the
need for donations above the 81
membership fee in interviewing
those who could afford to give more.
Mr.. Cafritz expressed hope the
$4,000 goal could be exceeded to an
extent which would make possible
additional plant improvements.
