Is STARTING TODAY.
MEMORY OF THE MOON" IS
TITLE: TO BE FOUND IN
THE CITIZEN

How would a descendant of a
wild Irishman and an aristocratic
Castillian face this modern world?
Jeanne Bowman gives her an
swer in the forthcoming serial of
California, MEMORY OF THE
MOON, which starts in The Citi-
zen today.
The leading character is lovely
Constance Cabrillo, the only
member of a shiftless, easy-going
family, who resembles her
shrewd, hard listed Irish ances-
tor.
The Cabrillos are always in
debt so when the manager of
FL Cabrillo Ranch offers to buy
the property, they insist that Con-
stance sell. But Constance has
other plans. She goes to Califor-
MIA to find out why the Taylors,
father and son, have offered so
high a price. There she meets a
dashing vaquero who steals her
heart before she is aware that he
is her enemy, young Taylor.
Her decision TO convert the cat
/. tie ranch into a dairy farm, her
struggle with the Taylors, with
wealthy John Raskthorne--the
man who wants to marry her
and even with her own family,
make an exciting tale of girl
who had the courage of her con-
Victions.

RAID SHELTERS
FOR j. S. ARE
BEING STUDIED
DRAWING BLUEPRINTS AND
MAKING MODELS FOR pos
SIBLE USE IN THIS COUN-
TRY
(By Associated Press)

fBy Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Young
architectural students at Pratt
Institute in Brooklyn are studying
the are of air raid defense.
Less than three months ago the
go young men and women began
drawing blueprints and making
models of bomb shelters for pos
sible use in the United States. To-
day they are ready with a list of
basic recommendations.
Reinforced Concrete
The course was planned to pro-
vide information about air pre-
cautions necessary in the event of
an emergency, reports Cecil c.
Briggs, supervisor of the archi-
tectural department at the school.
No effort is being made to induce
anyone to build a shelter in his
back yard. The plans are not be-
ing copyrighted.
Reinforced concrete is specified
by the Pratt students as the best
material for shelter construction.
They also plan on walls and roofs
at least II inches thick for ward
ing off bombs.
They suggest peacetime use of
individual bomb shelters as ga
RACES, storm cellars or storage
space. Other research shows how
to get the most protection into
buildings going up.
Two-Year Survey
The designs are for private
homes, factories, public buildings
and apartment houses. The basis,
Briggs says, is two-year survey
| of bomb shelters of Is countries
by one of the instructors, Irving
F Iverson, and suggestions and in
formation from the United States
and British governments.
Some of the students are hop
ing the government will approve
their models for industrial COM
munities where large deense in
dustries are making construction
of new houses on a large scale an
immediate problem.
