X EET Fellow Adventurer Jack Kapsol of Brooklyn,' N. Y. A Jack is a gas station attendant and comes into the club with d a story of a colors and battle he had with a flying hold-u- p man. Speaking of hold:ups in gas stations, I want to tell you about Bill Kernan, a friend of mine who runs a service station in Miami, Fla. Bill was sitting alone in his lonely station one night last winter. T hand-to-han- There had been a lot of gas station holdups In town recently and Bill was feeling pretty nervous this night He had quite a bit of money In the cash register and didnt like the looks of the weather. It was raining cats and dogs and the streets were deserted. Suddenly the light of a big car driving into his driveway startled him. The car skidded to a stop and two men Jumped out and entered the office. Bill took one look at them and nearly fainted. Both wore masks I Masked Devil and Pirate Hold Up Gas Station. Without waiting for the command, Bill raised his hands over his head and dropped weakly Into a chair. He looked his night visitors over with ;popplng eyes. And no wonder One of them looked like the devil I mean iexactly that he was dressed In a devils costume complete from horns to spiked tall! The other masked man was a pirate and pistols and daggers peeped threateningly from his beltl What a disguise, Bill thought, and with chattering teeth he told them to help themselves to the cash register. Bills boss had told him not to resist In case of a holdup and Bill, being an obedient employee, obeyed. But the men paid no attention to the cash register. The pirate instead drew out a long pistol and leveled it at Bills trembling head: Give us some gas or your life, he growled. Bill Jumped at the command and quickly filled their tank. He spilled a lot of the gas on the road but that didnt matter. All he wanted to do was to get rid of his dangerous customers as soon as possible. A few gallons of gas was a cheap price to pay, he thought 1 Holdup 'iurns Out to Be Revelers Lark. Then as he finished filling the tank Bill got another shock. The devil reached in a mysterious pocket and handed him a five dollar bill. Bill looked at the money In amazement A strong whisky odor came from the devil's breath. "Keep the change, he muttered thickly. And the two "bandits climbed Into their big car and drove back to the fancy dress ball they had Just left I This Time Its Really a Serious Affair.

Jack had been too He got under it as the weapon whizzed by his ear fast for the black-jack- . and grabbing the bandits arm applied a "Japanese arm lock. Did you ever see that hold? Its a pip and you can snap a mans arm with It. But the arm Jack held had a heavy overcoat on It and its powerful owner broke the hold. Jack got a "full Nelson on him next and was able to keep away from the black-jacAnd now comes as strange an ending as any professional wrestling bout ever had. The bandit had been smoking a cigarette when he came In. The shock of Jack's attack had knocked the lighted cigarette on the floor. In a corner of the office was a keg of highly Inflammable solution. k anti-freez- e Danger of Explosion Was Greater Than Robbery. The tap had leaked and as Jack struggled desperately on the floor he saw to bis horror that the cigarette had Ignited the liquid. A blue streak of flame was already heading for the keg. The next minute might see an explosion that would make the wrestling match a tie with both wrestlers dead I Jack didnt know what to do. But his opponent did and hs did It fast The bandit apparently had no desire to be blown up. He saw the fire starting and he started with it Right out the door he went and slamming it after him was off In the car with his partner In a cloud of dust Jack had literally fallen out of the frying pan Into the Orel The money was safe but now It looked like the whole place would go up In ' flames. Jack Kicked Death Right Out the Door. ne Jumped for his leather cont and tried to smother the Increasing blaze. The burning liquid splashed on his arms and burnt them severely. The wood of the keg was actually burning when he tried to move It to safety. One spark on that keg and It would be all over. He braced himself against the wall and with his pants leg burning kicked the keg off its cradle and out the doorl Wowl If that isnt kicking dynamite, what Is? But Jack got away with it lie stamped out the fire Inside the station and then took an Inventory. The inventory showed that he hud lost: one cout one pair of pants and, last but not least, two eyebrows I WNU Service. scheduled to be paid $5.00 an acre. For weed eradication the program proposes to pay $5.00 an acre where only periodical cultivation Is required, but it will reward the farmer for taking out weeds by chemical treatment in addition to periodical - cultivation by paying him $10.00 an acre. In addition to these methods of soil conservation, strip cropping and fallowing command about $1.00 an acre of benefit to the farmer while terracing will be paid for around the basis of $2.00 or $3.00 an acre. Other states, as they are brought under the soil conservation program, may expect rates similar to these for the first half of the country. It is obvious, however, that In the more thickly populated areas where agriculture is carried on in a more concentrated way, new and different practices must be prescribed. It is certain, also, that these practices must be made to take Into account the varying types of crops where farming Is done on smaller acreage per farm or in the fruit and truck garden areas. From this program, two sets of conclusions have been drawn.

Jack had the night watch at his fathers service station on Liberty avenue In Jamaica, L. I. One Saturday night or rather Sunday morning, for it was 3 a. m. Jack was sitting alone waiting for customers. The date was December 1, 1934. Business had been good that day and there was plenty of jack in Jacks cash register. The street was deserted when a big blue Bulck drove up and two tough looking characters asked for 10 gallons of gas. Jack gave it to them The Thug Swung an Ugly Washington.

This, it will be remembered, is the agricultural benefit policy worked out to supersede the unconstitutional AAA, and the speed with which the department lius developed the early phases of its new program is noteworthy. It has not wasted any time, nor could it waste time, in order to make the new program effective in this crop year. While the work of policy making has gone on at an unusual speed for governmental procedure, I am afraid it cannot be said that the soundness of Its program can be commended In the same manner. Some of the soil building practices proposed under the new scheme of aid to the farmer undoubtedly will work out, but there are others about which there is much doubt Indeed, already it has been pointed out that certain of the practices proposed are vulnerable and are likely to lead to serious trouble both for agriculture and the government More than a score of the states were Included in the first set of rules and regulations governing soil building practices and rates of payment The others are nearing completion and will be promulgated at an early date. But the first block of rules and regulations and rates of payment establish the general outline of the department's Ideas, and it can be said, I think, that in these rules and regulations (the government must lay down general provisions) lies the trouble.

On the sand hills of Llandudno an Oxford beach Lewis Carroll, mathematician whose real name was Dr. Charles L. Dodgson, once strolled with the children of his host, Dean Liddell. Becently a white marble marker was erected at the famous Welsh resort to commemorate these walks, and the literary classic, "Alice in Wonderland, they inspired. "Although Llandudno may still sound quite foreign to most Americans, it i3 one of the chief seaside resorts of the British Isles, says the SituNational Geographic society. ated on the north coast of Wales, be easily facing the Irish sea, it may reached by thousands of summer visitors from Liverpool, Manchester, and the English Midlands. "The town itself Is built around a vast semicircle of firm, sandy beach, with the ends of the crescent tipped with two towering masses of rock, the Great Ormes head and the Little Orme. Neither Nice, nor Deauville, nor Biarritz, nor Scheveningen, middle-Europ- e d nor any of the on shores the resorts bathing of Hungarys Lake Balaton, has a situation comparable to this magnificent watering place.
