She suspects the relationship between Jerry and Constance and is making a struggle to put Jerry out of her heart. Breaking the News So+So was In the Crowsnest. It needed endless straightening and tidying these late fall days when the dust from the landing field swirled in the doorway every time some one came in. With the com- ing of cold weather trade, would fall off and she would have to de- pend on her regular customers from the fleld and school for most of her trade, X In a way it was a relief not to 'have the casual visitors who de- manded quick service from her, not always too courteously. But the diminished income of the winter months was also to be dreaded. The Crowsnest netted hardly . enough then to keep up with the expenses of herself and her father. "] wish I could see some way to buying a new coat," she thought. "Still, I'd have to look in the bar- gain sales and by the end of the winter my new one wouldn't look much better than the old one does now. Oh, I hate cheap things." She lost herself in a dream of furs, warm and soft and rich "I'd almost encourage that rich old fool that tried to hold my hand today if he'd buy me' a gray squirrel coat." She sperit a moment remem- bering how she had sent the "rich old fool" about hig business. "No I wouldn't. And he doesn't belong at any airfield either. One thing sure, we have the decentest fellows in the world out here." "Peaches," she addressed the cat that lay in the last bit of sunshine that streamed in the window "Peaches, how'd you like to see me all dressed up in a gray squirrel coat, and a silver cloth hat, and shiny new shoes, and a black lace dress, and pearls around my throat --how would you like it?" Peaches yawned. So-so bent to stroke the cat and looked up from its soft arched back to see Con- stance coming in' the door, "Helio So-so! Cold outside cozy in here, isn't {£2 So-so buried her face Ii Péach- es' back. 'Say hello to the pretty lady, Peaches," she said. "I haven't been out, Connie; I don't know how it {s outside." but "Let's have some tea, So-so, can't | we?" Constance stripped off her gloves and came around behind the coun- ter. "Let me help. And let's go In that little back room there, I've never been in it, but I've heard Fred and Jerry tell apout the fun they've had when you make candy for them once in a while." » By BARBARA WEBB "Hot water, tea, lemon, sugar-- want a cookle, too? They're wretch- ed things I get from the bakery." So-so collected the tea things and went with Connie into the little back room where she sometimes asked her special friends. It was very tiny, little larger than a pan- try, but S8o0-so had made curtains of yellow checked gingham, and painted a small wooden table and two chairs a creamy yellow with bands of black. She had some simple pottery tea things and a pair of blue candlesticks set on a narrow shelf. "What a ducky room," Constance cried. "No wonder the boys love it? Men always like color, don't they?" So-so agreed absently, It was nice having Constance come in like this, She did like Constance. For the furs thrown carelessly on'the back of a chair, nor the rich brown duvetyn coat dress, with its stun- ningly simple matching hat, "News for you, So-so," Constance sald. stirring her tea. "Tell me." "Jerry and I are engaged." T™-*ngs swam before So-so's eyes. She gulped and swallowed her tea and stooped quickly to snatch Peaches up from the floor and bury her quivering chin in the cat's fur. "How wonderful," she managed. Apparently Constance noticed no- thing unusual in So0-s0's manner, for she went on: "Of course, we're not going to be married until next spring--I like June weddings. I think we'll have an aviation wed- ding. It'll be something different. Will you be a bridesmaid, So-so?" "I'd love to." Peaches was wriggling, but for a moment So-so held her fast. Surely her chin would behave in a moment. "We won't have a big wedding. I'd like it on the lawn at Terry- more, where you were the other night you know. There are lots of roses In the garden in June I'll go abroard in April--maybe March and get away from the beastly rain, and get my trousseau Jerry's nice, isn't he?" "Jerry's a peach." So-so agreed. "You've known him a long time, haven't you, So-so?" "Five years. He was one of my first customers here in the Crows. nest. And he's been a regular--a regular big brother to me." "He surely likes you, So-so. Funny, though. he wanted me to tell you about our engagement. I suppose he thought we'd want to giggle and talk about clothes and so on." So-so's heart leaped Did Jerry suspect? Did he care even a little bit himself? She would wonder abont this later, Jerry had always rr~ od to her with his troubles and tr' 'mphs before. Constance's cool voice went on "What T like about Jerry is that there's no nonsense about him. He lo~~s" flying more tham anything e'- 'in the world, more than he ° for me, I-don't doubt, but I ! that. I 'like a man who puts ¢ ' ss first" She pounded her ' white fist on the table ag she nued. "Success first, and wom- cond. There's something you "ke hold of in a man like that. 'imes I think I should have a man, So-so. I can't stand ky sentiment." So-s0 laughed. "You look so or- "mental, Connie that I can't ima- gine your being a man. igi a mighty lucky doy and 1 the moment she did not even envy, do wish you both all kinds of hap- piness." "Thanks, honey. If we're happy it will be pecanse we both work for it and earn it, I've got to run along now. I flew the Icemaiden over. She's a sweet little ship---maybe Jerry and I will take our wedding trip in her." After she had gone So-so sat am. - ong the tea things. It was over now No more dreams of Jerry. Ther: was a sort of relief in knowing this And she wag honestly glad it wars Constance he had chosen. But she was puzzled at Constance's man: ner. How cold-blooded she seemed about it all. No thrill, no enthus- fasm. She might have been an- nouncing the purchase of a new air- plane. Fred came in a little later to walk home with Xer. Safe under the cover of darkness she asked him, "Fred, if you were engaged to a girl--well to me for instance. wouldn't you expect me to be--well, sort of excited about it?" "Not nnless you loved me," he answered, "Oh." "Why do you ask?" "I was just wondering how en- gaged people are usually." "Tike crazy loons. If you prom: ised to marry me, So-so, I'd walk raround on air and make a plumt* idiot. of myself." "Have you seen Jerry today?" "Not since early morning, H¢ went over to Connie's this morning and they tell me at the fleld he hopped off for Philadelphia about 5. Why?" "I just wondered." They parted at the gate and So-s0 went slowly in the house Fred sald girls were excited over their engagements only when ther loved the men they were engaged to. And Constance hadn't even blushed. Jerry had hopped off for Philadelnhia had probably been on the field while she and Con- stan~2 were having tea. How funn' it se~med. Why, if Jerry had ask. ed her, So-so, to marry him-- Suppose Jerry and Constance weren't really in love with each other after all. Her heart leape' to her throat at the possibly. Ther she took herself sternly in hand. "You're a wicked girl, Solange' Harper. And Constance has beer heavenly good to you. too. Yor ought to be tickled to death that Jerry is so lucky." "hen her father came In greeted him cheerfully, you. father." "Good news?" "It's about Jerry--he and Con- stance Terry are engaged." Mr. Harper looked at her closely. "lI thought you liked Jerry your- self, So-so." "I do. But--but not that way. "Then you ought not to snub young Fred France so severely," her father answered. So-s0 began to laugh.. "How funny you are. father. Why should I fall In 'ere with Fred just pe- cause I'm not in love with Jerry?" she laughed for some time, hoping that her father did not guess how near the tears were to her laugh- ter. and that night when he went to bed she sorted over her memor- fes of Jerry and laid them aside in her mind. as one lays by the trinkets of a departed friend. she "News for I think To Be Continued Monday Japanese Prince Near Acquiring Hawaii Island Tokyo, Japan, May 18--Half a cen- tury. ago Hawaii came near to ac- quiring a Japanese prince as sover- eign, according to a story which has just gained currency in the Japanese press. The papers here quote a privately circulated family document of the princely house of Higashi Fushimi to the effect that King Kalakana of Hawaii, visiting' Japan in 1881 in the course of a trip around the world, JU.Y & LOVELL'S OPTICAL PARLORS 'J. F. Worral, Oph. D. Eyesight Specialist PHONE 38215 proposed to Emperor Meiji that Prince Yorihito Higashi-Fushimi, then 14 years old, be adopted as the Hawaiian heir apparent and marry the Hawaiian King's daughter. This account says that the emperor at first received the proposal favorably but later politely declined it. King Kalakana, last but one of the Hawaiian sovereigns, was an irre- sponsible and willful monarch who kept in constant trouble because of his attempts at autocratic rule. He was anti-American and anti-European and his ambition once soared to the level of claiming the "primacy of the Pacific," with protectorates over other island grouns. He died in San Fran- cisco in 1891 and was succeeded by h.. si..cr, the famous Queen Lili- oukalani.

The line, now linking Los Angel- es and San Diego, is a forerunner of a transcontinental line. The plane uses a 525-horsepow- er Hornet engine in its nose, with two 150-horsepower Comet engines on the wings--a departure for tri- motored planes. The plane is rich- ly finished with.a walnut interior, comfortable air-cushioned arm chairs, electric lights, heaters, and other conveniences, WINDSOR MORE THAN DOUBLED POPULATION Windsor, Ont.,, May 18.--Wind- sor in the past ten years has more than doubled its population; a rec ord which is believed to be ua- equalicd in Canada. The popula- tion was 16,100 in 1909; 31,600 in 1919 and this year it should be necrly 75,000, according to assess- mont commissioner Harry Webster. Since 1919 the. population has jumped by the proverbial leaps ana bounds and it is Mr, Webster's ve- lief that the increase over last year has been nearly 7,000. 'The survey of the city on a "re- quisition' basis has been abandon- ed and four field men are now gath- ering data from every house in the city. Announcement of the official figures will end the friendly race 'between Windsor and London. The two communities in the past 10 years have run neck and neck with London usually claiming 'the edge." Commissioner Webster is confident Windsor this year will be far out in front. If the adjoining border municipalities are included, the border cities' population 18 pearly 125,000." A stranger in any event can hardly tell when he has left one municipality and. entered anothesn, | clear way what FRANCE TRAINS ITS YOUTH THOROUGHLY | Physical Education Com- mences at Six Years of Age Paris, -- The Under Secre- tary of . State for Education, M. Henry Pate, has outlined in a very Francé is doing for the physical education of her youth. Physical - education commences in the primary schools for children of both sexes from six to 13 years of age. Before that age there are sim- ple educational games for those in the kindergarten schools, ° From six to 13 years of age there are two hours of physical education per week, in daily lessons of 30 min- ites each, As the health of the wea- ker scholars has to be considered, the department is encouraging the multiplication of classes in the open air, special schools for recuperation and holiday camps. For boys and girls above 13 years of age, there are also allotted two hours but with this difference. Those in the lower classes receive four les- sons of thirty minutes each while those in the upper classes have two lessons each of one hour duration. In order to qualify for the teach- ing of physical education, male and female pupil teachers receive in the primary normal schools two lessons of an hour each. These pupil teach- ers are drilled in the lessons by act- ually handling children in the adjoin- ing schools, They also follow the courses in applied physiology given by the professors. Of course there was some difficulty in adopting the present system. Fa- cilities had to be granted to teachers sical education, But these brought no results until 1927 when they were obligatory. Eight thousand male and female teachers graduated last year. Primary inspectors are now requi- red to make notes on the lessons and such figure in the reports on the tea- chers. Some statistics regarding the pres- ent situation are interesting. In 116 lycees for boys, 237 professors of phy- sical education give lessons to 73,000 pupils. The average per professor is 303 pupils. In 200 boys colleges there are 60 professors giving lessons to 38,000 pupils. The average is 633 pu- pils to a professor. In 192 secondary schools for young girls 85 professors give lessons to 50,000 pupils or an averoge per professor of 588 pupils. To make up the insufficiency in the number of qualified instructors, 55 new posts were created in 1928 and others are contemplated. Passing from the secondary to the superior schools, one finds 450 es- tablishments with 79,000 pupils ot which 34,000 dre young girls. The physical education lesson is given ei- ther by a male or female professor. Forty new posts have been created for teachers equipped with the necss- sary superior education given in a five weeks course at the Ecole Mich- elet. The course includes technical, medical and physical lectures and instruction in actual sports, HAD NARROW ESCAPE Toronto, May 18. -- A man, a woman and a two-year-old child escaped without serious injury last night when an automobile bounded over a curbing at Nassau street and Bellevue avenue and hurled them aside.

Man Who Died at 84 Took "Buggy"' Ride in 1886 In 1886 when mechanics were tin- kering with the dream of a, self-pro- pelled gasoline carriage, Carl Zenz drove a three-wheeled vehicle through the streets of Munich. Its motive power was furnished by a single horizontal cylinder, water- jacked engine. A year earlier an- other German, Gottlieb Daimler, had put a similar engine on a bicycle. It was not until nearly a decade after Benz's historic buggy ride that the first American motor car put in an appearance. Prior to the time of Benz and Daimler, a few steam cars had been manufactured, some as early as the latter part of the Eigh- teenth Century. But no one had suc- ceeded in harnessing the power of internal combustion through the use of gasoline to vehicle propulsion. Benz died recently at the age of 84. He received, during his life- time, many honors and university degrees because of his pioneering in the motor industry. He saw the industry that he started develop in- to one of the world's largest. Through mechanical evolution, his little one-cylinder model has be- come four, six and eight-cylinder machines, with a few such behemoths as Segrave's car that made the Day- tona course in 231 miles an hour. During the recent freezing of the Baltic Sea, airplanes were us- ed to 'transport passengers and CENTRAL CANADA WILL HAVE STEADY SUPPLY FRESH FISH Development of Rapid- Freezing Process Responsible Halifax. -- Under a devel- opment of the "rapid freezing pro- cess" which has been worked out by the Biological Board of Canada at the Halifax experimental station, fresh fish are so preserved that they are caught in as prime condition as when they first came out of the water. Widening ,application of this pro- cess on the Canadian coasts will soon assure to the people of the inland parts of the country a steady supply of sea fish with the original firmness of the fish fully maintained and the flavor preserved by the retention of all the juices which make fresh sea fish so tasty and healthful an article of diet. Application of the process will also make possible the further ex- pansion of Canada's export trade in fish--it now amounts to $35,000,000 a year--since rapid-frozen fish may be shipped abroad in the certain knowledge that, if properly stored, it may be kept in prime condition even for months. Tests already made by the experi- mental station in shipping rapid-fro- zen fish to Central Canada = have brought uniformly satisfactory re- sults. Since the first of this year the station has sold more than five tons of ice fillets of haddock through one store in Toronto alone without a single complaint being received. SAHARA DESERT T0 BE RECLAIMED 100.000 Square Miles of Sand to Grow Wheat and Sugar Paris.--Formal incorporation of a company brings near realization of one of the greatest and most daring land reclamation schemes of all time, by which science is to wave her magic wand over 100,- 000 square miles of the grea. Sa- hara desert synonym for all that is parched and arid on the globe, and make them blossom not only as the rose, but as the wheat, corn, cotton and sugar-cane for the sus- tenance of 4,500,000 families. Dwight Braman, New York en- pineer and author of an irrigation scheme for the Sahara, which has hitherto remained in the vague realms of projects, is to take the first step in realizing his dreaw by incorporating the Sahara company at a nominal capital of 400,000 francs (approximately $16,000), which under the articles of incor- poration may be expanded without Hmit, Without limit, indeed, are the almost fantastic possibilities of a screme that would change the cli- mate of Northern Africa ana make the sandy wastes of the Sahara into a vast oasis. Mr. Braman and his associates think they can transform the cli- mte and the conditions of life of a stretch of the desert which some archaeologists have assigned as the seat of the prehistoric and idyl- lic kingdom known now as the "Lost Atlantis." Three Great Canals They hope to do it by connect- ing dry lake beds and areas below sea. level in Southern Tunis and Algeria and along the western bor- ders of Tripoli, with the Mediter- ranean sea at Gabes, Tunis, through three great canals. Enough salt water to flood 60,- 000 square miles of desert and keep them flooded all the year round will then be let in by the canals, forming a kind of inland sea.
