forces.
John M. Culver, chairman of the

berships was made at Pilgrim Bap-
fist Church by Mrs. Gertrude Will
lis, captain of the Red team. Next

trice Boyd, captain of the Blue

appeal at St. James AME church.
Mr.. Culver says the splendid CO.

Gals of the various churches has
been very encouraging.

leather From the Sea


During the last war leather was
one of our scarcest commodities.
It may be so again, but nowadays
we have a source Of supply for
merly unknown. That is the sea.
The casing or lining Of a whales
stomach provides a thousand square
feet or more Of strong leather which
tans well The skins Of young sharks
make a leather excellent for won-
ems shoes, because it takes dye per-
fectly. The hide Of the manatee,
or sea COW, is another source Of
leather suitable for footwear, while
porpoise hide (actually the skin Of
the beluga or white whale) is natur-
ally waterproof.
Rays Of different kinds, common
In tropical seas, provide fine and
flexible leather, and many other fish
are being experimental upon. The
difficulty is that in the case Of most
Ash the skin is very thin and hard
to remove without damage, while
the tanning is also a matter requir-
ing much care.

not given to profound medita-

tisfactory ways of life. II was
there to be lived, wasn't it?
On very rare occasions they
quarreled. Explorations into the
deep-hidden causes of these
quarrels would not, perhaps, be
profitable. But it is the fact that
Cynthia generally started them,
and started them in all inno-
cence.
AS on this day.
She came to the swimming
pool, in some pale blue snatch of
silken cloth and her hair cupped
in a pale blue affair to keep it
dry. And Mitchell Grace was
coming up from a dive. And no.
body else was there. She sat
down on a stone bench and
watched him swim to the edge,
and laughed when he slipped a
trifle climbing out, and pointed
to a place beside her.
"I've got news for you" she
said, while he wiped water from
his face with his hands.
II can tell, it's good news"
1T certainly is. You've got
money coming to YOU"

seem distressed" he said.
1t required a marked degree
of self-control and of fortitude
for Mitchell Grace to restrain
the rush of bitter words that
fled through his mind, to flush
only slightly, and to say-after
a definite pause, 1T is nothing
important, sir. Anyway, il is my
own fault"
Colonel Merriwether held a
match to a fresh cigar, not TAX
ing his eyes from Mitchell
Grace, and drew in the first
wave of smoke, and allowed it
TO drift away from his mouth.
1T is a sound principle, Grace,
to keep the emotions under a
strong curb"
II am sure of it, sir"
II might say that the only mis-
take l ever made in my life was
to lose control of my emotions
for a brief time. Approximately
one day out of more than 60
years of living. The experience
taught me a lesson. l have not
lost control of my emotions
again, and l have not made a
mistake again"
This was, by any measure, the
longest and the most intimate
conversation which Colonel
Merriwether had ever bestowed
upon his secretary. Mitchell
Grace was startled
I'm sorry. sir" he said.
Which, by the way, was rath-
er absurd thing to observe. And
Colonel Merriwether descended
calmly upon the absurdity
Regrets, too, are to be avoid
ed. There is no prosperity in
them. However

A SLIGHT SPAT
CHAPTER VIII
It goes without saying that
hardly man of any sort could
be so steadily exposed to the
presence of Cynthia Merriweth-
er and not be affected thereby.
Mitchell Grace was affected. He
knew quite clearly, without be-
ing too dramatic about it, that he
was irrevocably shared. And he
thought, though he did not 60
far enough TO admit thai he was
sure, that he could never do the
least thing about it.
Whether she knew of his pas
sion is not to be determined
though it is the likely thing that
she was so accustomed to devo-
ton, so honestly and warmly de-
lighted at her power to invoke it,
that she accepted his as a matter
of pleasant course. Cynthia was
