This tall girls success at turn
ing what most girls consider a So
cial handicap into a social asse:
ought to inspire tall girls all over
the country to hunt themselves
up some tall friends instead of
going around with little girls who
make them feel Self-conscious and
keep them from looking attractive
even to tall men.
And tall girls aren't the only
ones who might take lesson from
this Tip-Toppers club. What about
the fat girl, who knows she hasn't
the will power to diet all her life?
Maybe she could make a go of

The girl who is taller than her
friends is almost always self-con-
Scious about her height. It's no
| fun trying to scrooch down until
she is just their height. It's no
fun, either, walking down the
street or dancing with a boy just
exactly her height or an inch
shorter.
But most tall girls don't do
anything to make their lot easier
They just go around envying short
er girls, and being miserable be-
cause they don't know enough tall
boys to keep them supplied with
dates.

Carolyn learned that Bob Hale ! was safe when she telephoned her mother at 5 Q. m.
 "lze called her twice and came ] out just c little bit agoI" Mrs. l Tyler said, after Carolyn's initial ! explanations. "He was like Q crazy man, honeyl Whatever fs-?"
 sOh, thank you motherl I'm all right. I'll be home soon. Don't you worry"
 "A woman called all night too. A Miss Sormi. Who is she? She also said she had to locate Dr. Hale. Emergency reasons, she said. She was most distracted, but suppose the whole town is. Carolyn. you haven't had any rest and"
 But personal rest and comfort were farthest from Carolyn's mind. She hung up and ifnmedi- ately telephoned the Schoenfeld Laboratory, where she worked. Nobody answered. She realized that practically everybody would still be at the scene of the explo- sion.
 She went outside again and a slewsboy crying third extras as- sailed her. She bought the paper, paying Q dime and waiting for no change. Here for the first time she began to learn something of the real extent of the damage. In concise, international words and photographs the city's dailies were doing their job well. She read avidly.

He warned that other bodies may yet be found although the wreckage has been fairly well combed. The four dead were all plant watch men. In daytime the explosion would inevitably have taken hum dreds of lives.
 TWO other men are reported missing and may be dead. One is w. H. Delaney, truck driver for the Metropolitan Transfer Com pany, and the other is @ liquor store owner, M. M. Cragin.
 "Cragin's establishment was near the apparent center of the ! explosion and was so completely destroyed that no trace of 1t has been found, only a great crater showing on that spot now (see second photo, page D.

. STORIES
 lN STAMPS
Foned Stotue of Andes Is Symbol of Good Will

pROOT that international dis- putes can be settled perma. nently without war is found in the famous Christ of the Andes statue, pictured on the Pan Amer ican Unions "Know the Amer- icas" poster stamp above. The ctatue is also pictured on Argen- tina's Eucharistic Congress issue of 1884.
 For 2l years, from 1881 to 1902, Argentina and Chile argued over their common Andean frontier. Efforts to settle the dispute by di. rect negotiation failed. National spirit mounted in both nations, war threatened. Finally the north- ern boundary was settled by an international commission and the southern frontier decided by arbl- tration of the British government.
 People of both countries joined in the erection of the bronze statue on the international boundary, l4,450 feet above sea level. The monument was dedicated March 13, 1904.
 Argentina and Chile gave addi. tional proof of friendship imme- diately after the settlement of the boundary dispute by negotiating on May 28, 1902, the first known agreement for limitation of arma. ments.

 The paper had thorough cover- age, amazingly so, considering the magnitude of the explosion and the short time since 1t oc- cured, even though the officers theorizing was entirely wrong.
 Carolyn read and re-read. Then she found herself walking up a street. She had long since lost her friendly taxi driver, hadn't even thought of paying him. Presently she was on the edge of the big crowd of people and cars and found another taxi that could turn around and take her away
 She had herself driven directly to the Schoenfeld Laboratory. By the time she arrived It's main plant and it's office building were bathed in dawn's sunshine, and the sheer beauty of that was sort of spirit- ual lift. Moreover, she instantly saw Robert Hale. When she jumped from her cab, ordering 1t to wait, Dr. Hale ran to her. He couldn't talk for a moment. He just jabbed @ finger at her awkwardly and swallowed.
 Its all rightl All righti" Caro- lyn murmured, intently. Don't feel badly. Please dontl Come on in- side, at oncel"
 He didn't look like boss now. In truth, he was simply a young, man half crazed with anxiety.

 "Yes, but I meant in power only. Not that 1t would go of easily. Sudden heat, or Q percussion cap such as is used on dynamite - these might set 1t off.
 But we had 1t securely in two lead containers, with wrapping around that and cotton padding on the truck floor. There was ab- solutely no possibility - and yet, of course, there must have been!"

 She spoke so vehemently that he was impressed and he squeezed her hand in gratitude. Leana Sormi had seen them; she came out of the office building walking fast. Her face was even more pale than normal, and strained.

 That much was true, surely. Carolyn saw Miss Sormi take Bob's arm and literally force him toward her own taxi. When the driver began to explain that he was waiting on order, Carolyn hastened to pay and release him.
 But she stood watching, vaguely alarmed in an entirely new way, as the cab drove of with her em- ployer and his efficient woman companion.
