Synopsis
-Chapter L: Valdez kills Bartle.
Ellen arrives with the sheriff. He
threatens to open fire if Valdez
does not walk out peacefully. The
men arc astounded to see two red
xidefs emerge from the house,
Michael is wounded in the anti.
CHAPTER LI.
"El Caballero Rojo!" the posse -
man roared, "He got away!"
Landr flashed about with a hard
oat' ,
"One of 'em was Bartle!" he
ground out,
"Bart le's on the kitchen floor —
d add" cried Ellen, "I slipped out
to tell you that EI Caballero Ro-
jo—"
"Which was the real one?" snap-
ped Lande.
The one Der. Wallace went after!
I didn't know there was another one
in the house until. , , Oh, I don't
know who that was — the second
ones The real Caballero Rojo
got out before — through a win-
dow!"
El Caballero Rojo raced through
the night that was all but over, with
teeth cinched against pain, Blood
flowed down his arm, But more inc-
portant things t' his wound held
his attention — the thunder of
horsemen galloping far ahead, the
knowledge that they pursued some-
one who obviously had lured them
into this chase f the distinct pur-
pose of saving El Caballero Rojo,
Someone who had known he was
it anger,
* *
"Straw Aldman!" he muttered,
"Who else would have the idea —
and the nerve to carry it out? And
he rode and r my brand once be-
fore, with that' red hair of his,"
Then ahead, ah he rode down .his
own shadow, Valdez sighted his
double, The blue roan made short
work of closing the gap between
the genuine and the pseudo Cabal-
lero Rojo. But none too soon! For
Aldman had shot his bolt. He reeled
in the saddle and would have toppl-
ed beneath flying hoofs had not
Valdez' arm flashed out to lift him
out of leather.
But as the blue roan charged
ahead in headlong flight, Valdez
knew that three rode the flying
horse. Death was also in his arms.
Quickly he sought out a niche

looked down at the dead young
man for a long time.
"Adios," he said In a whisper.
He walked into the dawnlight
►pith slow, heavy steps. Then sud-
denly he shook off the weariness
and sadness, for close and clear
came the call of a mountain lion,
He answered speedily.
Juanita's ragged figure burst out
of a clump of trees and she rushed
to him, looking at hint anxiously.
Valdez braced himself against a
rock, almost slipped, but caught
himself. The girl grasped his arm,
"You are shot!" she cried. "Oh
you are not—"
"It's nothing," Vadldez said dully,
, Y
"I just—"
But despite his efforts, despite all
his will power, he abruptly crumpl-
ed to the ground, weakened by the
loss of blood.
1 • •
When Michael Valdez regained
,;onsciousness, he looked about him
in bewilderment, He was in the cave
hideout he and Juanita had found
when they had first come to the
valley, lying on ,the pine -bough cot.
The sun was streaming into the
cave, and on the little tree trunk
used as a chair and table was a
glass jar filled with fresh wild
flowers, A small fire was burning
in the center of the cave, and the
fragrant aroma of coffee carte to
hint.
His body felt drained of strength,
and then he saw that his wounds
were neatly bandaged, and realized
that he was in little pain now. It
would not be long before he would
be himself again.
He heard a light step outside the
cave entrance, and a girl entered
and smiled at him. For a moment
he was puzzled. She was a beauti-
ful giri, the loveliest he had ever
seen, She was wearing a fresh white
dress, and her raven hair was drawn
high and held by a tall Spanish
comb,
Michael Valdez had never imag-
ined anyone so lovely, And It was
moments before he could take in the
startling fact that this beautiful
girl and his ragged Mexican peon
companion, Juan, were one and the
sante,
"At last EI Caballero Rojo has
come to life," she said, and smiled
again, "And haven't you anything
to say, senor?"
"How did I get here?" Valdez
asked.
"I brought you," the girl said
simply. Then she added, with a
touch of deep grief in her tones,
"The boy, senor — he who played
he was El Caballero Rojo, I tell
sheriff he has been killed, and where
to find him, to be taken care of,"
For moments more Michael Val-
dez said nothing, for he was think-
ing of the difficulties Juanita must
have gone through to have succeed-
ed in bringing an unconscious man
miles through a hostile country,
where men were riding to seek his
life.
At last he did speai:.
"Juanita," he said, "there is just
one more thing I want you to do for
tie—that your work with me will
be finished. I want you to get that
Money I took from Flash Conroy—
it's in the cave here—and take it
to the Corpus Christi Mission. And
this time 1 want you to stay there,
Padre Vincente will take care of
you and your future."
Juanita looked down at hint for
silent, speechless minutes.
"And you?" she said finally, "Your
work is done also? You, too will
come to the mission?"',,,
"Maybe," Valdez said, and slowly
shook his head, "Maybe later—not
now, Because, Juanita, my work is
not finished. It's finished here. Peace
will come to Deep Water Valley
again, and my own private debts
have been paid. But my work will
never be done so long as there are
people in the whole wide \'Vest who
are oppressed. I'ut an outlaw—I
can't ever change that—but I can
make up for many things by help-
ing others who need help, I'll be all
right again pronto, and then I'm
riding—to wherever folks need
help."
Juanita"s hand reached down to
clasp his tightly,
"We ride," she whispered firmly,
After a long time he said softly:
"We ride first to the mission
Juanita," He laughed happily,
wPadre Vincente will be surprised
hen he is asked to perform a mar-
riage ceremony for a man who said
he never would marry. And there is
a blind fnan down there I believe
will be mighty happy—for his son."
"I know," said Juanita softly. "I
know blind matt will be much hap-
py. I have talk to him."
"You have?" Valdez was vastly
surprised. "Why you never told me.
You talked to him—what did he
say?"
"He say to me, 'Follow your
heart, little senorita.' Me, I have
follow you, El Caballero Ro:o."

When I write, I tie my words in
knots as described in your column.
Would you tell me what this indi-
cates?
People who tie words in knots,
as shown in the letter "t," are per-
sistent in their
efforts for suc-
cess, These ties
may appear in
any letter or as
a final stroke in
any word but
arc particularly
noticeable in the
letters "g," "p,"
"t"and "y" The
size of the tie is an important feat-
ure, as a very tight knot indicates in-
tensity of the determination, while
a loose or open knot reveals a more
moderate kind of persistence,''one
that is not so impatient,
Such writers possess a strain of
character that will .seldom admit
defeat, nor will readily recognize
failure even though imminent, They
may have to give in temporarily,
but will eventually resume where
they left off in a persistent effort
for success.
Other features of your writing in-
dicate that you are reserved and
show good judgment when dealing
with appeals to the heart. You are
not a sentimentalist and would be
inclined to refuse those who would
appeal to you without good cause.

Dinner Is Served!
Driving along the causeway at
Long Point, Lake Erie, at dusk, a
naturalist stopped his car to watch a
turtle 20 feet away in a sand pocket,
solemnly attending to her egg -laying
function. Directly behind her a
handsome slunk awaited the dinner
gong with philosophic patience.
Noting the pine -enclosed sand
pocket carefully, the naturalist re-
turned in hour later, Turtle and
skunk alike had departed, and
broken egg shells were the only
relics to tell of the skunk's feast on
strictly fresh eggs.

Lovely Place Mats
"They're very easy to make," said
the woman to a friend who had
been admiring some place mats on
the table, "They cost practically
nothing, and there's almost no limit
to the variety of color and design
available,"
What were they? just pieces of
wallpaper, cut in pieces 12" x 18"1
These were placed over a backing
of light -weight cardboard, covered
with glass and bound with passe-
partout tape,
The stats referred to were made
from paper with a trailing ivy pat-
tern in two shades of green on a
cream ground and were bound with
green tape. After luncheon, my
friend showed me other teats of
various patterns and colors, some
of them exquisitely lovely. Some-
times she uses mats of matching
pattern, she said, and sometimes
she mixes them with pleasing effect.
Always, she added, they serve as
conversation pieces l"

M uch of the work of great execu-
tives is done by individuals whose
names are seldom heard. But with-
out their effort the achievement

secretary to JcrlTemiah. Whatever
aspirations he had for a high office
were discourage,,
Baruch wrote a prophecy dictat-
ed by Jeremiah and then read it to
the people in the temple, 11 was
Jerenmiah's hope that this warning
of impending destruction would
incite the people to repentance.
But it was a vain hope. Baruch
then read It privately to the princes,
They urged hint and Jeremiah to
go into hiding >' while the prophecy
was read to the king. However,
the king, too, was unmoved. As
three or four leaves were read, he
cut them with his knife and watchtd
them burn. 'Thus he despised God's
message,
But God's word is not so easily
destroyed. Jeremiah gave Baruch
another roll and he rewrote the
prophecy,
Jeremiah"s prophecy was fulfill-
ed. King Jehoiakinc who led his
people in ignoring the Divine warn-
ing was carried in fetters to Baby-
lon. In the fighting Jeremiah and
Baruch were spared. Baruch was
accused by some of unduly influenc.
ing Jeremiah. Ile later migrated to
Egypt with his master.
We do well to heed Cod's word
for it always prevails. To -day

The Jelly Test
The jelly test is made by (lipping

syrup runs off the side. When the
syrup no longer runs off the spoon
in a steady stream, separates in-
stead into two distinct lines of
drops, which "sheet" together, the
cooking should be stopped.
When the jelly -maker gets to

When it comes to hedges, the
gardener has a wide choice. There
arc either evergreens or deciduous
shrubs; slow -
IA growing or quick
• growing species;
t plants that are
/ best left to assume
their own natural
shapes; and others
which lend them-
selves to shearing
i n t o geometric
patterns. The sort of care you give
your hedge will depend, of course,
on what type it is.
* * *
Privet is one of the most popular
of all shrubs for hedging; and far
too often it is so badly grown and
tended that it looks nothing like
what it should -a "solid wall of
living green." Usually bought in
two or three-foot sizes, it is mis-
takenly cut straight across the top
at planting time. This causes ex-
cessive growth at the top while the
base remains bare.
* * *
Proper pruning, is essential if you
want privet -or any other deciduous
shrub - to form a dense green
growth at the base, When planted
privet should be cut to within four
inches of the ground, or at the most,
six inches, Other deciduous shrubs
should be cut to within twelve inches
of the ground.
* * *
If the growth is vigorous right
front the start, the hedge may be
cut back in July or early August at
a point about eight inches above the
previous cutting, But if a late start
-bad weather or poor soil has pre-
vented much progress since plant
•ing, it is just as well to delay the
shearing till the following spring,
when the hedge can be cut to a
point from nine to twelve inches
above the previous cutting.
* * *
From then until the hedge reaches
the full height desired, upright
shoots should be cut twice a year,
as in this way many side shoots get
a chance to develop and a thick
hedge is formed. Sides of the hedge
should be cut more frequently than
the top for the same reason, As
soon as two inches -or at most three
-appear, your hedge clippers should
be brought into use.
* * *
Old hedges that have been allow-
ed to get straggly present a, real
problem as no amount of shering
at the top will induce them to form
dense greenery at the bottom. All
you can do is cut them all the way
back to within six inches of the
ground, after which they will grow
up properly. This DOCS NOT
APPLY to evergreens, which will
not grow up again if cut down.
* * *
The chief handicap to any ;edge
is weeds. A narrow strip of bare
ground should he maintained on
either side of the hedge, and if
this is hoed regularly the little

Evergreens -such as pine, spruce,
hemlock and the like -are treated
differently, when used for hedges,
than privet and other deciduous
shrubs, They usually make very
little growth for two or three years
after being put in position, as the
shock of transplanting sets thein
back; and they should not be cut
back severely after planting.
After the evergreens really get
going, they may send up quick verti-
cal growth. In order to induce den-
sity they should be shortened; but
generally one shearing per year,
after they have started growing, is
enough.

elevator facilities sufficient for

grain.

Real "Cabin" of the Actual "Uncle Tom" -Close to the village
of Dresden, Ontario, stands this plain -looking frame dwelling,
pictured excusively for readers of these pages not because of
any architectural beauty, but on account of its historical in-
terest. It has been said that hlarriet Beecher Stowe's novel
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" had more to do with bringing on the
United States Civil War than any other single factor; and in
this house -or rather in the log structure concealed by the
boarding -lived the original of the character "Uncle Tom",
I -le was the Reverend Josiah Henson who, after many years
of slavery in the Southern States, finally managed to escape,
makng his way by means, of., jbe• ."underground railroad" to
freedom. After crossing to Canada he settled near Dresden
where he passed the remainder of his life. He is buried in a
nearby cemetery. Inside the house a picture on the wall shows
I-Ienson as an elderly, white -bearded colored man dressed in
clerical garb while nearby hangs a printed description of "THE
REAL LIFE STORY OF UNCLE TOM."

For his next picture Cecil B, De -
Mille turns again to what has always
been his greatest mine of source ma-

requires no royalty payments --The

be the great director's fourth pic-
ture based on Biblical sources, the
others being "The Ten Command-
ments" (1023); "The King of Kings"
(1026); and "The Sign of the
Cross" (10,12),

In the (natter of these "give-
away" programs the radio folks-.
and especially south .of the Border
-scent to be in much the same
position as that of the hunter who
had the bear by the tail. They're
afraid to let go, and even more
scared to hang on. But all joking
aside, those same programs have
the radio industry in the biggest
dither it tai been in since Marconi,
or whoever it was, started the whole
thing.
Regular radio performers bate
such programs; and why shouldn't
they when top comedians and prime
favorites such as Fred Allen find
their audience rating drop with sick-
ening suddenness when a "give-
away" moves in on an opposition
network, at the same hour, For
wliat is a Bob Hope, a Bing Crosby

such as the one just mentioned.

Many of those close to the radio
business wouldn't be too much sur-
prised if -sometime in the not too
far distant future -the heads of the
industry got together and abolished
the "give-aways." at least as net-
work features. For that they have
definitely cheapened radio and are
gradually but steadily reducing it to
the level of the midway shows at
the C. N. E. can hardly be denied.
* * *
It is also whispered that among
those who would welcome the
doing•away of the "give-aways"
are those who are sponsoring
some of the bigger ones. Expert
analysis has been made of audience
reaction to these programs; and it
has been found that the moment that
gives the listeners their biggest
thrill -the moment they remember
best -is when the Announcer reads
off the ever-growing list of things
that are to be won. People clearly
recalled the main prizes -and yet
couldn't remember the sponsor's
name or the name of his product.

money for THAT sort of publicity

Sky Lighthouses
Help Guide Planes
Like a bright necklace, twenty
airways beacons glitter nightly
along the Boston -Albany airplane
route, helping to guide pilots over
0111c of the Most treacherous ter-
raitl in the East. And nowhere are
they more v;duahle, according to
a writer in the Christian Science
Monitor, than through the jagged
reaches of the Berkshire Hills.
These sky lighthouses, almost
hand -over -!;and, have !cd many lost
fliers to a safe landing. When an
aviator is lust above such a region
as the Berkshires, a familiar land-
ing tie id sliding up over the hori-
zon toward his propeller hubs is a
comforting sight.
Maintaining these beacons despite
weather problems is one of the big-
gest jobs of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, Spaced 10 utiles
apart along the route, they are in-
fallible guides to aircraft,
Keeping than reliable is the job
of the airways mechanicians who
are at once woodsmen, electricians,
ntechanics and harsh pioneers. The
Boston -Albany lights arc kept
burning by Elmer S. Bishing,
Routine Check
1-1c lives in Westfield, Mass, half-
way along the airway, and gives
each of his 20 lights a routine check
at least one a month. They rise
from the highest peaks of the
Berkshires, marking them as light-
houses do reefs at sea.
Their positions, therefore, can
bear little relation to existing roads
and trails. Mr. Bishing must be
prepared at any moment to climb a
mountain or slog through a down-
pour or a blizzard to repair a bea-
con.
Late last March he drove 50
miles at night, west into the hills
near Pittsfield, in a four-wheel-
drive Army truck, strapped) on
snowshoes at the entrance to an
abandoned CCC camp and hiked
two miles through a blinding bliz-
zard up a mountain to the Leban-
on Springs, N. Y., beacon. When
he made the summit, he climbed
another 51 feet up the frail metal
tower.
"lt was singing like an organ in
the wind," he says, "and it swayed
a lot, Before I finished work I had
to turn on the light so I could
warm my hands in front of it. The
bulbs are 1,000 watts, and if you
touched one, it would fry you."
Departure Noted
As a forts of insurance, these
men usually tip off someone in the
neighborhood before they strike out
into the wilderness, so a rescue
party can start after them if they
are gone too long.
Most inaccessible tower beacon
is on the top of Gobble Mountain
near Chester. It is nearly three
miles from the nearest road. The
way leads up two 40 -foot cliffs.
When Mr, Bisbing reaches the top,
he has a 91 -foot tower waiting to
be climbed. The entire trek is
through a dense forest.
Summer isn't much better. Mr.
Bisbing carries a small scythe, or
hatchet, since the woods around
Chester are full of rattlers and
hundreds of black snakes.
Actually the scythe does yeo-
man duty in keeping the under-
brush down along the trails from
highway to beacon, which follow
the power line poles through the
wilderness. Only the light at Gar-
field, N. Y., 10 miles east of Al-
bany airport, is not powered by a
utility electric line.
That one uses current generated
by two gasoline engines, and its
1,200 -gallon fuel tanks are sufficient
for six to eight months' operation.
The airways' man here is also an
auto mechanic, cleaning carbon and
grinding valves regularly.
Well Above Trees
Steel -lattice towers hold the bea-
con lights well above the surround-
ing trees, and a quarter-horse-pow-
cr electric motor revolves the 36-
inch globe so alternate red and
white beans flash for utiles across
the sky.
They are controlled by electric
clocks in the tower base, lighting
up a half-hour before dusk, switch-
ing off a half-hour after sunrise.
The mechanism adjusts itself to the
seasonal difference in daylight
hours.
Although a second bulb cuts in
automatically if the first burns out,
failure of these units is the most
common trouble, since the sudden
switch - over may knock out the
spare. State police, nearby airport
personnel and fliers report failures
to Mr, Bisbing's Westfield office as
won as they are spotted.
Airway beacons mark the path
on the ground that the radio Lange
waves take through the air. Com-
bining the lights with the reassuring
range signal humming through his
earphones, a pilot can tell exactly
where he is at any time.
Should his radio fail, the beacons
can lead him in. No wonder that

TllEFAM FR1NT
Possibly you have never thought
of climbing as an important part of
farm work—but it is, nevertheless.
In feeding livestock a farmer climbs
into haymows, 'granaries, silos, hay-
stacks and feed racks. He climbs on
and off tractors and other farm
equipment several times a day.
Painting and repair of buildings
and servicing high equipment such
as a windmill all rerm; limbing.
• •
And all this climbing makes falls
the chief cause of accidental death
and injuries to farm people. Just
one little stumble or slip may re-
sult in a costly injury, and climbing
increases the chances,
Some of the climbing practises
common on farms shock those
familiar with safety precautions --
and if you will check up on yourself,
the unnecessary chances you take
might come as a real surprise.
• ee 4 t
Safety engineers have studied
thousands of falls associated with
all types of climbing; and the basic
prevention rules they have develop-
ed can apply to farms just as well as
factories. The first step is to make
it difficult "mechanically" for a
climber to fall. The second is to
form safe climbing habits
t
Ladders, steps ur .stairways
should be rigid and strong enough
to support twice the load that will
be placed on them, A good ladder or
stairway is cheap compared with a
bad fall. A haymow ladder that
doesn't extend above tllc loft floor
invites falls, by making it easy for
the climber to Jose balance when
he attempts to transfer from ladder
to loft floor. Stationary or portable
ladders to any overhead floor should
be long enough to extend at least
four feet above the level to which
the climber must ascend
Outside ladders and platforms on
many silos make it easy to fall. The
ladder may be high enough, but an
independent railing around the ele-
vated platform makes it dangerous
to transfer front ladder to platform.
In many cases the climber has to
step over the railing to get on or
off the platform. It is true that a
railing is desirable— BUT IT
SHOULD ALSO EXTEND
AROUND THE LADDER, thus
Crabs Six Feet
From Tip to Tip
King crabs of astonishing pro-
portions have been taken from the
crab beds along the Gulf of Alaska.
Specimens caught have weighed as
much as twenty-six pounds and
have measured over six feet from
tip of one gangling walking leg to
the tip of its mate on the opposite
side of the carapace. The average
from the Bering Sea and the Gulf
of Alaska beds, however, weighs
between 14 and 15 pounds and is
three or four feet in leg span.
Far front prepossessing in appear-
ance, the king crab is orange -gray
in color and is liberally bedecked
with barnacles tnd moss. \Vhat-
e'ver it may lack n eye appeal, how-
ever, the more the giant crab
makes up for in economic value, for
approximately a fourth of the mat-
ure crab's live weight consists of
meat of excellent quality. Conse-
quently, various Pacific Coast fish-
eries are busily catching these .gro-
tesque undersea denizens with swift
otter trawls or scoop nets and can-
ning or quick-freezing the meat.
enabling the climber to go up and
down INSIDE the railing.
M # $
You never sec a passenger train
without grab bars at the steps of
the coaches, and employees in prop-
erly -run factories are not permitted
to use stairways without handrails.
Likewise, all stairways on farms
need handrails where two or more
steps are necessary. Grab bars will
also help prevent many falls as you
climb onto wagons, tractors, trucks
and other farm equipment. If the
manufacturers have not provided
such devices, horse -made ones can
generally be easily addled.
r • ►
When you're in a hurry there's
always the temptation to use some
makeshift support and trust to luck
instead of taking time to get safe
equipment. Many people gamble
with faulty ladders or steps, always
putting off repairs till some other
time. Going up and down in too
much of a hurry is another risky
habit which usually results in a fall
instead of saving time.
.Any time you're using a steplad-
der, stake certain it is fully spread,
with all four legs on a level, first
base. Be sure it's tall enough to
permit you to stand at least two
steps front the top, as it's easy to
lose your balance when working
from the top. When yott erect a
straight ladder it should form a
triangle with the biulding so that
the base equals one-fourth the dis-
tance from the top support. For ex-
ample, on a 12 foot wall the bottom
of the ladder should be 3 feet front
the wall.
When you climb a ladder hold on
will) both hands. 'fools or other
materials that cannot be safely car-
ried in the pockets should be hoist-
ed with a hand -line. Be sure and al-
ways work facing the ladder, and
holding on with one hand.
Especially dangerous is the cont-
inuo practice of straddling the space
between the ladder and the building.
Never leave a ladder standing where
it will tempt children to climb. As a
protection for children the lower
section of stationary ladders on silos
or windmills should be removed
when not 1n use,
Those who make use of a barn
stairway as a hay chute arc taking
real chances because loose bay or
straw makes such an uncertain foot-
ing. Separate feed chutes that are
guarded above the loft floor are far
better. Ladders and stairways should
be well lighted as climbing in the
dark is another careless , practice
that leads to almost certain trouble.
And when climbing don't carry
bundles or objects that will obstruct
your view or prevent your grabbing
a support in case of emergency.

Portugal
A country not often in the news
Is Portugal where, for more than
fifteen ytars, Antonio de Olivicro
Salazar has ruled unopposed, Iloilo
litany as Premier but actually as
absolute dictator.
Sahzar'a methods were IIIIipeC-
tacular as compared with those of
dictators such as hiller and \lusso-
lini. As one foreign correspondent
puts it, "Salazar's own temperament
and the lack of interest of the Por-
tuguese people have led him to as•
sante the role of headmaster rather
than tyrant; and although he has
been accused of slaking undue use
of his political police, there is no
• state of terror iu Portugal."
This month—for the first time
since 11128 — there was talk of an
opposition candidate, General (le
Matos, former 11'ar Minister, an-
nounced that he would run against
Ca•tnona and, if elected, abolish the
Salazar regime and institute a
liberal democracy without any poli-
tical police or censorship.
But no one in Portugal appears
to have become greatly excited by
the announcement, For one thing,
General de Matos is eighty years
of age. For another, the chances are
lie will find plenty of road -blocks
and detours on his way to the
Presidency. As one citizen put it,
"If the General appears to he
making much headway, Salazar will
probably call BIT the election alto-

Since the early part of the loth
century Afalaya has been a British
posseession, Then, after three and
a half years of Japanese occupation
during the last war, the people
started agitating for sclf•rule,
Britain reorganized the administra-
tion of Malaya and made certain
changes, but the real controls re -
mined in the hands of the British
High Commissioner,
But the Malayans were not satis-
fied, Prices kept rising while wages
remained at a low level, And for the
past few months the Communists
have been exploiting this discontent
to the limit.
A wave of terror has been spread-
ing. Landlords and industrialists
have been murdered — industry
brought to a standstill— and the
country's only coal mine put out of
commission, British troops, backed
by native police, went into action
and there were pitched battles near

currently being hell) in dear old
1,unnon. For the sportsmen tvho
foster these things have gone to no
end of trouhle dolling up the alTair
with scientific gadgets and colltrap•
lions designed to eliminate all
human frailty and guesswork from
the various results and finishes.
• • •
'!'here (won't he any be•ribhoned
Badger for instance, precariously
perched—tape in handl—on top of
a shaky ladder, measuring the
height of a pole vaulter's leap
while the crowed looks breathlessly
on, pulling for the ladder to break
and the Badger to laud on his
crumpet, The pole vault uprights
will be rigged with a pointer and
sliding scale whieh can he clearly
read without the use of ladders.
• •
:\ so, somebody culrtinttes to
take all the joy out of life, We
vividly recall one track and field
meet tvhere the Pratt -fall taken by
a pole-vault judge from the top of
an untrustworthy ladder was the
biggest hit of the entire afternoon—
the only happening, bit fact, which
roused the occupants of the Press
(lox from their ;lowlier,.
• •
l'hey're filling 10 lire the start-
ing gun for the Ilat races by remote
control. in the one hundred, two
hundred and four hundred meter
events—run in lanes and with the
starting positions "staggered"—tile
111
' 1 I 5
runner n the outside is son cl e
11 l
as much as 150 feet away from the
one in the pole position, The latter
• would hear the sound of the start-
ing gull as ((Ruch as a tenth of a
secnud before it hit the ears of the
Outside roan—and itt events such as
those a tenth of a second can be
sufficient to stake all the dilTcrence
between a winning effort and a
losing one.
• * •
But while this remote control
stuff may he an improvement, still
there was something to he said for
the old method where the starter
stood—loaded gat in baud—an im-
pressive figure if ewer there was otic.
And \fan, Olt Man, didn't some of
tltent know it, too! We remember
one of then( wvho used to staid
there posing for what seemed like
hoe's in order to make sure that
the eyes of all present — and es-
pecially the feminine ones — were
properly focused on hint, while the i
11 rwou; sprinters, crazy to he off,
remained on the track rapidly de-
veloping severe cases of the fantods.
* •
lint there canto a day when this
gent got his colllc-uppance. Some
miscreants whose identity was •
newer divulged—a1111 which we, for
one, aren't going to reveal—man-
aged to gain access to the bag in
which this self-important starter
kept his gun and blank cartridges,
For the latter they substituted some
which contained charges of about
four time; the normal power and
noise. The first time that afternoon
the starter pulled the trigger he not
only started the race—he startled
himself into taking an unintended
leap into the air of near -record pro-
portions, and it vas uonths before
'fie was his old-time ula;ter-of-all•(
•Toner' self again.
• * •
No wonder, either. \\'hen that
gun went 011 it sounded more like
a 1T.E, shell than a blank cartridge.
However, if it did nothing else, the
incident served to enliven for a
too -brief moment an afternoon of
track-and-field which — devoid of
such happenings — can he about as
deadly dull as anything you will
find in the entire sports almanac,
* * •
Other innovations to be intro-
duced at the 19.13 renewal of the
Gaines will include a camera which
will riot only picture the exact order
of a close finish but mechanically 1
time the athletes as well; special
sand that will retain an exact int-
pressiou of the juniper's hind heel
until a hairline device Measures the
leap more exactly than any litlinan
can do; new -type starting blocks
that can be adjusted to suit each
individual runner and so deprive
sprinters of one of their favorite
alibis—that their foot slipped at the
start; hurdles of aluminium so
weighted that if a !cotter hits one '
with an ounce more than the pre-
scribed • eight pounds "topping
weight" it will topple as surely as
a six -horse parlay; and—but what's
the use)
# # •
Enough is enough; and we have
already toll you more than suffi-
cient to prove the plausibility of our
opening statement which, as you
have doubtless forgotten, was to the
effect that "if mechanical ingenuity
and iuveuliwe skill can do it" the
Olympics at i,nndon should he en-
tirely without the customary squab-
bles, disputes and such -like goings-
on,
* *
Ilut although that would scent, on
the face of it, like a resonable
enough statement we wouldn't ad-
vise you to go slaking book and
offering
too liberal odds that it
turns out to be a strictly truthful
one. 1\'c have too vivid a memory
of track-and-field (meets of old, and
of Olympic Ganes of bygone years.
And while they may introduce
mechanical devices for slating,
liming, measuring and deciding the
order of finishes, there still seems
to be otie essential lacking for a
reign of peace, perfect peace,
* * *
For we haven't seen any an-
nouncement of a gadget or me-
chanical contraption guaranteed to
gag, muzzle or otherwise render
speechless the horde of coaches,
Badgers and outer official hangers-
on who always clutter up the track
and field picture, and who can be
observed—and heard( at their dead-
liest—when in the interests of inter-
national good -feeling and friendll•
lies* the Olympics are heing held.
Unforeseen Results
"Lod you give your wife a lec-
ture on economy?" asked the friend
of the brand-new bridegroom,
"1 did," was the grim reply.
"What results'"
"I gave tip wick -end golf and
