more isolated herds have under
gone.
Such concentration of the deer
has, in fact, been more or less
forced by the wolf depredations,
even at the. expense of sufficient
food for them.
Use of Planes Effective
Some attempts to. cut the wolf
menace are. under way at present,
with debatable success. 1t is diff
cult to induce native to go trap
ping with only the promise Of boun-
ties-$20 a pelt-when he can OBJ
tain work at high wages in. almost
any Alaska town. Too, the work
Of ground wolf killers has failed
in some instances to reduce the
menace much even when it was
done extensively.
Rood believes the only answer is
the employment Of government
airplanes, flying at attitudes low
enough to permit the shooting of
wolves from the planes, after the
fashion of coyote hunters of the
Montana Idaho country.
One such plane, operating only
in the pilots spare time. accounted
for 80. wolves last spring in COM
paratively small area. Rood be-
lieves others, operating over. the
treeless, shelterless flats where a
wolf cannot hide even when asleep,
would more than pay for their OPP
erations. Without them, he is frank
to admit that he has little hope of
maintaining the herds at their pre-
sent size. and no hope Of increasing
them to what they were ten years
ago.

HEART AND HOME: After diff
cult morning hours women today
come under fortunate direction
Of the stars. The afternoon should
be lucky for girls who seek employ

should find this an suspicious date
for important new contracts. The
outlook for persons in artistic pro-

this. time when new stars. of stage
and screen are to become famous.
Women past forty come un Ter
most favorable conditions at this
time when talents long neglected
will become valuable.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Men who
are business executives will face
many perplexities as they prepare
for the spring trade revival which
this year will show many extraor-
binary conditions. Pooling of var
ious big interests, principally steel,
by Britain and the United States
will have a stimulating effect upon
business, seers point out, as they
read in the stars many reassuring
trends toward future sterilization
of commerce. Through war regi-
mentation and cooperation peace

there is an i'll omen that seems to
presage political interference with

NATIONAL ISSUES: AS social bar

war needs, race prejudices will be
likely to fade, according to astrol-

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
New war developments are foreseen.
Warning is given that perfidious dip

She laid her head back and watched with half-closed eyes, She could hear only the low rum bling noise of the diesel engines, and the musical rippling of the sea as it slid along the ships hull, Slowly the discontent left her face. A mischievous smile ap- peared on her delicate lips, In quick decision, she lifted her purse from beside her chair and toko out a pencil and notebook. She wrote the message slowly, carefully and when she had fin- ished, she read 1t through several times.
 Allison opened her eyes sleepily in the total darkness of her cabin as she heard the rattle of the an- chor chain. She lay quietly for only moment as she heard running footsteps on the deck. and then slid from her warm bed. glanced at the luminous traveling cock on ger dresser. It was just 10 minutes be- fore o'clock and they were drop ping anchor in the bay of Puerto BarrioS. She switched on a light and dressed hurriedly. selecting a mist green sports dress. After she 1 had quickly brushed her hair she tied narrow band of brown ribbon under it where 1t fell in waves to her shoulders, and made a neat tail- ored bow on top. She gave herself a nasty glance in the mirror, tossed ] her polo coat around her shoulders and went out on deck.
 A thin pallor of light was melt ing the darkness in the eastern sky. Shadowy figures moved about on the wharf, shouting in Spanish. Allison stood alone at the ships rail. Her heart suddenly quick ened as she heard steps behind her and then she felt the touch of a hand on her arm.
 T really didn't expect to fire you up at this hour" Barry said seriously.
 Allison turned to face him.
 You mean you thought it was one of my practical jokes?" she said lightly
 dont know about the practi- cal part-but the joke part = yes. When the cabin boy brought your note l said to myself, I'll try her once more. Can't be more of a chump than I was the other day. When can We get this quarantine business over with?"
 Allison felt her face flush.
 Tt will be a little later than I expected"
 Even in the pale light she could see BarTy's jaw tighten.
 Allison put her hand on his arm.
 I'm sorry, really I am. but just had to see you before We left the boati" she said.
 Barry's face was stern as he said, frankly. I don't like getting up in the middle of the night to hear funny stories"

 For the next few days the Car Ehbean stretched as passive as a sheet of dark green glass under a eloudless sky. Allison felt restless Htir within her. She tried playing gliuffleboard with the ships captain but she couldn't hold her mind to the game. Her eyes kept sweeping fxrtively the length of the deck and holding on the door of cabin '. But it didn't open. Barry had kept to his cabin the last two days. Allison had seen the little Mexi- can cabin boy carry trays to the door at mealtime.
 Breakfast was just over and Allison preceded Captain Hooker through the narrow doorway out onto the deck.
 ssNWhat time do we dock tomor. row, Captain?" Allison smiled at the short heavy man who walked beside her.
 with a sea like this We should reach Puerto Barrios by in the morning"
 His eyes twinkled humorously as he shot the girl a side glance and caught the quick frown that crossed her face.
 Don't take it so seriously. Miss Topping. Quarantine doesn't open until 2. If you can sleep through tlse noises of unloading cargo l will see that you are not dis tasrbed."
 Allison laughed.
 Don't worry about my sleep" she retorted. I've had so much rest this trip I feel like a bear"
 The captain laughed. He stopped ag they reached the iron stairway ehat led up to the crows nest.
 Even 8 freighter captain has Co make some pretense of work ing" he said lightly. And this is where my day starts. Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?"
 Thanks, no. I think I'll take a couple of turns around the deck and then settle down with book. Some people think they're good company"
 She swung along the sunsplashed deck with long. easy steps. The szn caught the gold in her soft roll oE hair and then poured down over her powder blue Open-necked blouse, her canary skirt. Her fiat-heeled nl0es made her look smaller, less so- phisticated. She had dressed care fully that morning. Ts she passed BagEyis cabin she stopped heavily and slowly. But the door didn't open, and she went on to her own cabin. Back on deck with a book, she settled herself in a deck chair and tried to read. Her eyes kept de- serflng the pages, restively turn ing cut over the calm sea where an early morning mist festooned il1en Ike a curtain of sheer, blue xAllzs above the water.

He was my fathers attorney down here for years and is now manag- ing my chicle plantation. He prob- ably knows more people in Guate- mala than any other man."
 'Is there a gag to this, too?" Barry said sharply.
 Allison whirled and walked up the deck. Then Barry started after her He caught her by the arm and spun her around. Tears were misted on her long lashes.
 "Oh! I know I'm acting like a heelI" Barry blurted. But after all you have given me the run around
 Allison smiled and looked up at him with the old twinkle in her eyes.
 T guess it's like the little boy who yelled fire so often that when the house did burst into flames no one would believe him"
 T hope this Renaldo business is on the level" Barry said. Be- cause his name is on the list the ofice gave me to look up down here"
 Praise Allah for that Iist!" Al- lison teased. otherwise I know you wouldn't have believed mel"
 Allison was like her old self again. gay. buoyant and taunting.
 "If you were a gentleman you'd take me to the dining room for a cup of coffee" she laughed.
