Been look- ing all over Suffolk County for you, Guy," It was Dick Defoe. "Suppose you've heard this new tale of Dame Rumor—about the Radio Danes last night?" Garrick nodded but did not commit himself. This was an ideal chance, Be wanted to see how much Diek knew and whether he could add any- thing. Perhaps some fresh angle would offer a new attack on the ease. Dick knew less than Mrs. Walden, but felt as much, "Guy," Inc pleaded, "you must . . you must help ine save Ruth from her- self ... and her friends." Curiously, hero was Defoe appeal- ing to hint to do what he had already agreed to do. Garrick was used to such coincidences. "Well, then, tell me something about those friends. What about the radio kid, Glenn Buckley? " Garrick watched with concealed amusement the reaction on Dick's face, "Oh, he's like a great many people today. It isn't the seienl.ific interest in radio that Glenn feels, It's the entertainment value in it—in any- thing—that appeals to him. As a scientific study, I suppose, motion pic- tures were interesting to people who were following what Edison and others were doing. But when they became a source of entertainment, pictures be- came the fifth industry. That's the way it is with radio today with Glenn. Besides, jest now radio is fashionable. It's smart, Like the 'automobile was twenty years ago. I imagine. Glenn wants to be smart. So he has asked the advice and assistance of Professor Vario over at Rock Ledge. The rest of the crowd, I guess you know—that Jack Curtis. You've seen him around the Club. To me, th,ugh, Ruth is the centre of everything. But ... then, there's Vira Gerard .... and that Larue girl, Of course, Glenn has taken quite a fancy to this wireless craze of leis to Professor Vario at the Radio Central." "What about him?" reiterated Gar- rick. "Oh .... nothing. . guess I'm thinking too much about Glenn! Any- how, it just shows how foolishness ra- diates and hits everybody—like Hertz- ian waves." The Radio Central at Rock Ledge some ten miles east along the Sound shore euvered an area of ten square miles with twelve rows of 410 -foot towers radiating for a mile and a half from the centra] station, without a doubt the largest radio plant of the kind in the world.

Dick cut short, "Whey.?" y, Dick shrugged and was silent. "Come, now. if you want he to help you, play fair, Dick You can't hold back little things—and expect me to be of any help." Garrick was an electroscope for disco Tering stray cur- rents of facts. "Well, then," unwillingly, "on the 'Sea Vamp'." "The 'Sea Vamp'? What's that?" "A houseboat—down Duck Harbor way—anchored off one of the best bathing beaches tothe west, between us and the city. A lot of the young folks chartere". it and chose that spot because it was not far from the Club and yet not too far out frons the city. It's a bit out of the way, but that makes them practically own the beach and that end of the harbor for their swimming races and water. sports. Some of the sportier older folks go with thein—once in a while." "Well , what of it?" "Just this. There's more deviltry cooked up on the upper deck or in the saloon of the 'Sea Vamp' than . . than will ever get into Town Topics." Garrick turned toward the steps. "Jump into my racer, Diek. You're going to take me to look over this 'Sea Vamp'." ISSUE, No, 46—'29 CHAPTER Ih TRE SEA VAMP. With a siren blast and a swish of dusty air a yellow racer shot past Garrick and Dick before the; were a mile down the turnpike, leaving only a kaleidoscopic impression of a girl at the wheel and a fellow lolling back tensely in the other bucket seat. "Ruth!" exclaimed Dick as Garrick mechanically threw in more power. "Who was with her?" "Glenn Buckley." Garrick's motor leaped ahead as he stepped on it. Straight-away down the turnpike they laced. Garrick was just about holding his own. But Ruth had the jump and there was not a chance to pass her. She was too wise a driver, Having shot ahead of a car she did not slacken a fraction and she knew that that always makes it nearly impossible to catch one. A bend in the turnpike toward the south and a dirt road forked off. Ruth slowed up just a bit, turned her head with a pearly smile. "I've a hunch," she called back teasingly, "you can't follow me, Dick!" With a wave of her hand suddenly Ruth shot away on the side road to the .right, to the north, in a pillar of dust cloud. Garrick had no desire for a wild goose quest. He stuck to the concret- ed turnpike, "What's the matter, old man? Why so silent?" queried Dick a mile further on. "Suppose :you're wondering like me, how Ruth could have got meshed in the wheels of this gang, if that's what it is, eh?" Dick gazed hopelessly off at the hill and forest north of them with their maze of side roads. "I wish, by gad, a girl was like a car or a boat —something you could steer—right!" "Time enough to worry when we know more than we think we know," returned Guy, negotiating a left turn that -equired some skill to make the succeeding hill on high. "After all, Ruth's just a stunning little flapper —facing a very cold and calculating world—with a thoroughly modern— ill-balanced equipment—that doesn't hug the road like this old car of mine, Except," he paused, then added, "that she has the inherited intelligence, the intuition, the instinct of woman in all the ages , , , The real question is What will she do with it?" They swung off at last on another concreted road and finally nosed down the middle of the sand neck that hook- ed about Duck Harbor. As they drew up, off the road, in a clump of stunted Long Island beach plums, they were astounded to see, a couple of yards ahead on the sort of corduroy. road of boards to the beach, Ruth's racer, She had taken a short cut and beaten them by many minutes.

T thought they knew how to paddle instinctively, like a duck. Not at all. I used to watch the mothers (on the Pribyloff Islands in Bering Sea), giving swimming lessons in the tide pools. The babies were afraid of the water. Slaps and vigorous cuffing were required before they would even got their flipper wet. Sometimes the mother had to throw then bodily into, the pools. But once in, they learned the motions quickly enough. Although the old bulls never left their harems, the females and bache- lors went out daily to fish, Bachelors are those seals that have not yet reached mans estate and the dignity of a harem. They are the one or two- year-old males, and theoretically are the only ones to kill for fur. The skin of an old bull is valueless. It is too thick and heavy and, too scarred by fighting. Unfortunately, the female produces fur as fine as that of the bachelor. That is what has caused much of the international trouble. Pelagic sealing —that is, killing the animals out in the open sea—meant inevitable ruin to the seal herd. Russian, Japanese, British and American vessels hung about the islands beyond the three- mile limit and shot the animals when they were feeding. As many females as bachelors would be killed that way, and each dead mother meant a starv- ing pup on land, It took years of diplomatic negotia- tions o tia- tions to end pelagic sealing. Than a closed season was put on the islands for five years. No seals at all were killed. When the herd had begun to increase the government killed and sold a certain number of bachelors annually. Since every bull has a harem of from five to sixty females, and about equal numbers of each sex aro born each year, killing of a certain .propor- tion of the surplus malls, was a posi- tive benefit to the herd. It stopped undue fighting, in which both females and young are frequently done to death. The old bulls do not intention- ally kill their lady friends and off- spring, but in the heat of combat they cant watch carefully where • they step. Sometimes they sit on the babies un- avoidably. Everything on the islands now is under government supervision. The number of unattached bachelors le ac- curately known arid the proportion that should be killed' Is carefully estd-. mated. When the time comes *elle are rounded up, driven slowly to the killing grounds and there mercifully knocked on the head.

The Future of Cotton The Fortnightly Review: Valuable as are the various forms of relief which the industry has recently .:re -,i ceived, and those which it Is honed may possibly accue as the result of the impending commisison, they will not be able to restore muchof Lan- cashire's lost trade. They should rather be regarded as helping us to're- tain the trade, Moreover, when we are successful in underselling the home industries 01 Japan, India .and China in coarse goods, we should probably have high tariffs raised against us. These countries are keen to .protest their own industries, even at the ex- pense of the consumers. In short, one can hardly believe that the old- fashioned cloths which are loft, of- fer much prospect for the future, and probably too much attention is being devoted to the discovery of means for reviving this trade. Leaving aside, however, the question of coarse goods, the gradual reducing tf coats will be very valuable. Even if we don't re- cover any of that which has been lost, our cotton trade remains a very large. one. To say that the whole trade is doomed is ridiculous. To talk in generalities at all about the cotton trade is ridiculous. It is far too varied. There are plenty of units who have succeeded in doing well all through the bad years.

Deauville anxious .5o expand and by expanding reap more of its golden harvest, found its path blacked by the ancient rights of Trouville fish- ermen. The limax was reached when the councillors of Trouville read' that, Deauville, "pearl of the flowery coast," intended to enlarge its port and in so doing infringe on the rights of Trop,' vilie. Indignantly, the councillors of Trost - villa declared the whole project, null and void, Had Deauville forgotten in- deed that the real name of the port was not Deauville at all but Trouville- Deauville, that all bridges were com- mon property, and that not a nail could be driven nor a plank removed without the consent of Troeville? And were not the rights of the fishermen of Trouville of greater consequence than the- conven;enee of ,people who only used the sands for basking in the sun? So it went on till an inspector came down from Paris to hear the` argu- ments and the complaints.. And in the end Deauville the Worldly, Deauville the Gay, had to pay Leed to the hardy flsherfolk of'Trouville. , 'Minard's Liniment relieves stiffness. iv es Some folks takepainfor granted.

Bub 'tee to this expansion a greatly increased volume of water had to be obtained arid it is ti is problem that the tonnel leading to the plant from time Detroit River .through an inlet near Zug Island, at the mouth of the River Rouge, is to solve. Some idea of its enormity may be discerned the engineers' figures, which show it will divert 500,000 gallons of fresh water a minute, or 750,000,000 gallons a day, Under the ofd system, the water flowed froman intake in the Ford Canal slip directly into the plant and emptied into .the River Rouge below the intake. But the tremendous vol- ume used reversed the flow of the xiver,, and it was found that the same water was being pumped back into the plant: This water was .ot only too hot to be used for tooling pur- poses, but could be cleaned only with diffleulty. The only solution was ;o procure a new water supply. Engineers went to worl. on .the problem, and finally decided that a gravity tunnel from the Detroit River was the only step that would prove satisfactory. When this tunnel is completed, enough water will be available to the Ford plant to meet all existing needs and to take care of a large expansion peogram,— Christian Science Monitor. In a Guatemalan F.'`rest In this remote part of the bush the birds are extraordinarily tame. In the great trees within fifty yards of the house a number of beautiful orioles had started a colony, and clue ters of their wonderful hanging nests were to be seen in every stage, from the first few straws to the comleted structure—rainproof, snakeproof, and lizard -proof. Their exquisite, clear, flute -like notes awoke one at daybreak, and their comical antics and nest- building architecture were a constant source of interest and amusementat any period of the day. In a hole about half -way up the trunk of the same tree a brace of small green , parrots had started housekeeping, and apparently resented very much, with loud squawkings, the near approach of their neighbors in the top flat. Pairs of great wacho parrots perched fearlessly in the great trees all around, though usually it is impossible to get within gunshot of these wary birth. I passed a convoy of bush hens feeding in the ruins, and they let mo come within a few feet before scuttling off into the. bush, not even taking 'wing. The beautiful ocellatednative Am- eriean turkey can frequently be heard here in the early morning.. , . These magnificent birds are becoming rarer and rarer every year in Central Am- erica, and these vast, uninhabitedfor- ests of the Peten district of Guate- mala, are probably their last strong- hold. We owe this generous bird a debt of gratitude, for he is the ances- tor of our demotic turkey; an un- worthy descendant who has lost in flavor and Nathetic qualities more than h has gained in weight and size. They are, I fear, like the Maya themselves, unfitted to cope with modern condi- tions, and are consequently on the road to rapid extinction. Curiously' enough, one comes' across hardly any of the larger mammals; deer, wild hog, tapir, jaguar, and puma are conspicuous by their absence.' even the bignutand the armadillo are. rare, the reason probably being that during the dry season they are com- pelled ompelled to migrate• to other regions where water is more plentiful, me the few scattered waterhols, many. miles apart, are now surrounded by the huts of ehicleros.
