The Invitation Track Meet We are certain that we are voicing the sentiment of the entire citizenry of Provo when we" sav that we are proud to be host not only to the thousands of athletes who will come up to the Twenty-sixth Annual Invitation Track Meet and Relay carnival, but to the patrons and friends of those athletes ath-letes as well as of Brigham Young university. While, of course, interest will take visitors chiefly to the stadium, we wish them to feel that the entire city bids them welcome. Situated as Provo is at the junction of several of the im-!ortant im-!ortant highway and railroad arteries of the state, it is only natural that it should be a center towards which many objectives ob-jectives will converge, yet, had it not been for the far-sightedness of those who have had and still have athletic programs at Brigham Young university in charge, this great occasion Would have been denied the inter-mountain west. This track and field meet and posture parade we would be within modest limits were vve to call it a grand athletic spectacle which will be held Friday and Saturday this week, is one of the most unusual meets held anywhere in America. The passing of the years has added to its popularity until this year it promises to be bigger and better than ever. We like the entire spirit of the meet. Entirely invitational, invita-tional, it becomes a great friendly meet in which the least boy in a high school certified to by his school can compete, lie may have little athletic talent, but he may have a burning burn-ing desire once in his life to participate with the other fellows. fel-lows. He can come up to Provo with or without spikes, with or without any blare of trumpets, and can get in there with the host of other fellows like himself and pit his strength or speed, or both, in a friendly manner against all comers. If hp wins, fine; if he losers, there is no team average to be brought down. He can have the thrill of competition without with-out the pain of know;ng he was hot able to add to his team's total points. We invite all those who like clean sport at its best to come in for these two days and see the flower of the young manhood and womanhood of the intermountain west at its best. That there are to be national champions in exhibitions to serve as models for the lads on their way up toward supremacy su-premacy is another cause for. commendation. Ten and eleven feet was once a great height for a pole vaulter, but when Utah boys saw that others jumped thirteen and fourteen feet, they nroceeded to do likewise. So it has been all along the line. Lindbergh flew the ocean it could be done. Others proceeded to do it. So these champions will set new marks I'm- intermountain boys to attempt" to equal. We like that aspect of thf meet. It is no little task to have thirty-five hundred guests for 'unch. We congratulate Brigham Young university and I'oach Ott Romney upon the daring spirit which enables them to attempt such a stupendous undertaking. We hope all our readers wiff feel thai' here is an undertaking," perfectly altruistic, altru-istic, to which they can all give hearty support. Though admission ad-mission will be charged, the expenses will be high. Guests may safely feel that their small contributions will go towards paying for a medal or a lunch that will make some boy extremely ex-tremely happy. OUT OUR WAY BY WILLIAMS Attack On Unemployment The importance of chemistry in the current war on unemployment un-employment becomes daily more evident. Its contribution in the form of new products, which in turn mean new jobs, cannot can-not be overestimated. Take, for instance, the latest development a synthetic fiber, one-third thinner than the finest natural silk. A ball of this gossamer textile weighing only one pound, would, if unrolled, stretch across the United States. A similar ball of older type rayon would stretch only 1000 miles. Now consider what this new discovery may do for society. socie-ty. The manufacture of rayon gave employment to 60,000 people who. in one vear. received $60,000,000 in wages. In addition, almost $60,000,000 was spent on raw and other materials for the textile. One might name many more products prod-ucts developed in the last 1 years that produced similar results. Here is a promising advance in the war against unemployment. unemploy-ment. In this battle, the laboratory is our first line of attack. at-tack.

Firestone's excellent book, "Sycamore Shores" (McBride: $3). Mr. Firestone here records his wanderings along the rivers of the great Ohio valley - the Ohio itself, the Cumberland, the Wabash, the Miami, the Muskingum, the Wal-honding, Wal-honding, the Tennessee, the Kanawha, Kana-wha, and divers others and his book tells of a land of rich beauty, drowsy serenity, and haunting legends. Packet boats still ply some of these rivers, and Mr. Firestone has ridden on all of them to find that these boats seem to take the voyager voy-ager right back into a vanished age. Other waterways must be followed fol-lowed by auto, or afoot; and Mr. Firestone has done that. And his travels have shown him an en chanted land packed with history and romance. Here -Abraham Lincoln lived, and Daniel Boone, and U. S. Grant. Here the mound builders left grassgrown traces of their mysterious myster-ious empire. Here Washington :ame exploring, and the Indian iogan fought Virginia's Dunmore, and the Shawnees and Wyandots took to the warpath, and Aaron Burr plotted, and the Confederate Morgan rode cn his desperate raid. Here you can find a town named nam-ed Rabbit Hash, and . another named Felicity; here a breath of the old west lingers on, and a touch of the south, and the haze of the lost frontier. Showboats are-, still to be found, and counties where the steamboat still is the chief means of transportation. It is, altogether, a beautiful and interesting country; and Mr. Firestone's Fire-stone's book deserves the same pair of adjectives. Twenty-seven states report wild life decreasing because of lack of food. Or maybe it's the cover charge. A recent toll showed kiddies wanted to be artists, but that was before revelation that a Cleveland cop saved $109,000 on a $3500 salary. The clean-shaven Selassie would remain unidentified only until someone caught him peeking from behind a bush. Detroit, home of Joe Louis and the Tigers, has won hookey honors. It would save trouble all around simply to award victories to competitors from that city. It's a lesson to citizens who think themselves above the law that the eight-foot Alton. 111. schoolboy is thinking of taking it up.

So they receive their lessons by post and they make the most of their opportunities. For instance, there is Bervl Morrin. who lost both hands in a shark attack. By holding a pencil in her teeth or between the stumps of her arms she has done her school work amazingly well, and her report reads, "Art work sent in so far is excellent." She hopes to be fitted with artificial hands some day. Then there is ' Billy" Maguire, who also has no hands.

The first wild panic ceased, as people realised that the real blow had not even begun. The orchestra in the ballroom began to play.

The high winds outside created a vacuum inside in-side the rooms, and people began to notice the tingling of their eardrums. ear-drums. It was a diabolic torment. The slight pain involved wore down one's nerves. Some nerves snapped, like taut wires. The air became dose, and then a little suffocating. Doors hanged open and shut.

It lent so bad after that. You get used to it. It just 1 roars and roars The tension was greater as the hours wore on. This was Jane's first knowledge of the hurricane. As she went hur riedly from room to room, looking for Dirk, she caught these snatches of acute distress, which remained forever closeted in her brain. Then she saw Dirk. He was assisting as-sisting a little old lady, who looked about ai. down the stairs into the lounge. The woman was still gowned for dinner, and wore some Jewels. 8h was laughing and gay. but had tir depend on her cane. "My boy, I've crossed the ocean 200 times." she said. "My husband hus-band was a mining engineer. I've taken to the boats more than once. One time we were boarded by a Chinese pirate ship off Hong Kong, and I fought with the crew. For my bravery I was awarded a bloody cutlass and a pirate's hand. One of the fingers had a lovely jade ring on It. I had it made into this lovely brooch. See?" Dirk was laughing. "You give me yor arm!" he said. "This is my first storm at sea." When the little old lady was seated in the lounge, and beaming with intense self-satisfaction on all those around her as if to say, "This is my day!" Jane came to him. "Oh. hello!" he said. and searched her face for any signs of alarm. When he didn't lind any he smiled. "A bit of a blow, as the steward informed me." Then his voice was stern. "Young lady, where is your life belt?" "Why, I don't know. Where do I find one?" "In your stateroom, of course. Come on," he said, grabbing her arm. "We'll go get it right now." JANE'S confusion came to an end with the feel of his strong hand. "Where--where is yours?" she said, almost breathless in their huTTy. "Oh, gave mine to a little two-year-old boy. There are not enough to go around, as usual. 1 suppose people take them away for souvenirs, or use them for fishing tackle. I can vwim." On the way to Deck B they passed a door where a steward was pounding with some force. The door opened suddenly, and Madame Doremus stood Inside in her lace negligee. "I don't want any room service!" she said. "Go on away. I came on this cruise to get some rest, and you've been pounding on my door for the last hour. Where is the fire?" she ended scornfully, and slammed the $r ,, i?- Dirk knew she coiHairt near very well, and stopped to help the stew ard. who was on the verge of tears. The boy couldn't get her out. They knocked again, but Madame was expecting it "Go on away!" she bellowed. But when she opened the door in a rage, she saw Dirk standing there. Jane said, "The ship has been struck " That got over to Madame. Her hands went ud. but she betraved no inner excitement. Sne iookea around for a dressing gown, and sat down. I didnt know there were any icebergs at this time of the year!" The steward's eyes went to the ceiling with a prayer. "We are la the Gulf Stream, ma'am. Just outside out-side the Bermudas. No iceborgs. It's a hurricane!" "I don't need a cane!" she said. "But get my jewels out ot the box there under my pillow. I thought I'd fool people by saying they were paste. But they're not! They're worth a fortune. Where is Millie? I called her. but she didn't answer." an-swer." Millie, the little companion with the hands like sharp claws, was not ia the other bedroom. She was gone!, And the jewel box was not under the pillow. Madame Doremus stood up In sudden alarm. "Why, she's taken them while I was asleep! Millie! I always suspected her references were not in good order. I'll look them up when I arrive in New York." She sat down again, breathless, breath-less, fanning herself, and fainted. "Call the doctor!" Dirk said to the steward, and he was gone. Jane worked over the prostrate figure. Dirk said. "I'll go get your life belt and bring it here. I want Snowshoes to come here. too. I think we've learned something about the jewel theft." He catapulted himself down to Deck C. and ran down the. passage to Jane's stateroom. He paused long enough to snatch her life belt from the rack, and then suddenly he rememebred that the actress had her new quarters on this deck. TTE pounded on her door, and she opened it to him. She was already al-ready dressed. "I'm so glad you came," the said. "1 think I'll need gome ot your amazing strength." She was completely poised. Her voice was calm. "The deteuivt gave me the warning, and told me to stay down here until be came again. But I don't think it is quite fair. I'm feeling well, and I mighl be able to help the other passengers passen-gers during the night. Some of them are quite unnerved " Dirk was amazed at her complete recovery; last night she had been a harried individual, close to a breakdown. He told her about the old dowager, and Nora Lane insisted in-sisted on going there to help. Madame was busy explaining to the detective how she hid the jewel-box jewel-box each night under her pillow. "The little girl can't get away," he was saying. "Perhaps she was only afraid of the storm, and got excited, ran out with the jewel-box instead of warning you. People do strange things in a panic." But Madame Doremus said. "Strange things! They comml; murder. Could Millie have stolen the Kokinor diamond, too? Could Millie be this horrible creature who kills?" No sooner had she uttered these remarks than every person in the room remained jatark still. Tkey heard It coming "witSa roar. It grew steadily until there was no sound but the roar. It blotted out one's thinking for a moment, but then one knew it had come! Big winds, blow! Human bravado answered an-swered the sullen roar, and they were at least glad that the long wait was over. The roar went on and on until Snowshoes began talking again. "It's here!" he said. "We may aft well go up to the lounge."
