1t was that Marty was looking at,
what had caused him suddenly to
grow so tense, to stop what he had
been saying so abruptly, for there
was tiny flicker of light, a flicker
that moved back and forth SLOWLY,

the light she had thought she had
seen, although maybe she only had
imagined it, had come from the
high tower Of the big house.

was the one who should demand an
explanation of his presence. not
only Of his presence, but of that

He gave n short, low laugh,

seemed to consider that cXplana-

She would, she did in her own

with this new evidence adding to
all the rest, how could she help be-

were destroyed, she would never
have faith in anyone again.
Il would-if you'd let me-" she
said. "Oh. Marty, what is this all
about? Why don't you try trusting
ME for a changer"
He was silent n moment: then he
said abruptly, "AIl right, will, al

Several General Deyiations


But in recording a large num-
Der, of which this is the average,
there are found deviations from
the average which fall into four
groups. There is first q group
whose weight is heavier than the
average and height about the ave-
rage or somewhat below. Then
there Is taller group-always
exceeding the average height, con-
shutting about SO per cent of the
whole. This individual is slender
and his weight not much more
than the average.
Then there is the small type,
consistently at every age under the
average height, constituting about
~ per cent of the entire group.
The actual average constitutes
about 81 per cent of the boys and
AZ per cent of the girls. These diff
ferences mean quite different po-
tential activities for the different
groups in endurance, tendency to
disease and even temperament. q
subject We will discuss tomorrow.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
G. NJ. p: If a person has ostco-
myelitis in her youth would it be
likely TO recur later on in life?
Would her offspring be likely to
be objected by it?
Answer: If the osteomyclitis
has been thoroughly eradicated in
youth, it will not rccur. There is
absolutely and positively no dam
ger of giving it to the offspring.

KODIAK DIARY

A lady who does laundry for others recently neglected to take her washing in until late one evening, and when she did she found her clothes line had been visited by a culprit.
 Said culprit had gone along the line tearing, either by hand or with knife, about 9 of the feminine garments into shreds. He picked out only those gar. ulents pink in shape.
 The lady was too bashful to tell us about it, so sent the evidence to us by an unbashful emissary. We weren't told who the garments belonged to We were told it would cost about SIP to replace them.
 Later, by accident, we did find out who the owner of the garments is. We won't mention it here though. as we may meet said owner and it would em- barrass us. We're bashful, too.

Kodiak's fame as a stock rais- ing country rich in undeveloped possibilities is getting around, as evidenced this week by 8 query about it received from far-off Campus Illinois.
 According to the letterhead the inquirer is the Hamilton Ranch, producers of Hereford Cattle, Shropshire Sheep,> Spot ted Poland Hogs and Grains, established in 1904.
 The letter says: 'The writer Is interested in the agricultural possibilities as well as live stock raising in and around Kodiak and islands. Would be pleased if you would send me 8 copy of your paper With SubScrlptlon rates.
 This is the copy, and in it we suggest MT. B. E. Hamilton might learn much by core spending with Jack McCord, E E. Bell. Carl Killian and Mau- rice Briggs. all of Kodiak.

We wish we could settle once and for all the confusion about the correct, official abbreviation for Alaska. We get letters which at first glance look like they were meant for the American Automobile Association, with A. laska abbreviated Aaa, or AAA. Then we get letters of As. And Ala.
 Ala. is absolutely wrong, be- ing the design ation of Alabama.
 Three "a's" of any kind have no foundation in any kind of authority, are confusing, and signify too many other things.
 For our own use we decided to let the post office Postal Laws and Regulations settle it. Which means that for our own use we will have to always write Alaska out, just as postal em- ployees do on all money orders, etc., because the P. L. and R.. do not recognize an abbreviation

We hasten with 8 sad hand to record the demise of the Kemp. ton Cichoski Dairy Enterprises, Unincorporated.
 Frank Kempton and Tiny Cichoski have been engaged the pas. weeks in nurturing female heifer to maturity with all the .unscientifIc knowledge at their command. When it, we mean she. became a COW, the part ners in cream hoped to make her the basis of 8 dairy.
 Hope springs eternal in the human breast, but, alas, this time collie sprang internal in the bovine abdomen. The animal got sick one day, and despite what the partners did to help it managed to live until that night when it sank into a period of coma and silently kicked the bucket. Figuratively speaking, that IS.
 A reliable informant tells us the two men were moved almost
