An international quarantine of offending nations is suggested sug-gested by President Roosevelt. No one doubts the sincerity of the president, nor the gravity of the present world crisis but an "international quarantine" sounds very much like -sanctions, or a world-cturt, or a league of nations, all schemes which failed to find the peace they sought. Despite the serious, possibilities of the present situation, there IS hope that the United States can keep out of war, for-the way lias been pointed out to us, not in theory, but in concrete example. It is the way of practical neutrality, which kept the countries of Holland and Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and Switzerland out of the world war. despite the fact that they were surrounded by warring nations. A two-fold policy made a success of practical neutrality. neutral-ity. In the first place these nations informed the world that thev would not go to war, and they warned their own citizens to keep from the high seas as much as possible, and under no circumstances to go any place, or commit any act that would endanger this policy of neutrality. The second half of the neutrality policy was a strong national defense. These small countries had no intention of going to war, but they were ready at the drop of the hat to fight off any invading army. America has a third factor that makes practical neutrality neu-trality a possibility. That is our isolation, by thousands of miles, from both the war-torn East and West. We need no "international quarantine" for that would cause the nations we attempted to quarantine to turn snarling snarl-ing aginst us. A strong home defense, and a policy of minding our own business can form the basis of a practical neutrality which will carrv us thru the storm ahead. Scientists say England faces a shortage of bride thought it was only in kings. A Wage Tax? One of the chief beneficiaries of the Social Securitv .'id. Organized labor, is not thoroly "sold" on the value of that Jheoreticallv fine set-un. judginy by the comments of the Americarrtabor World on the subject. In an editorial article entitled "Wage Taxes," that magazine, published in New York, charges that the government gov-ernment "stands to make a profit well over $1,000,000,000 a year" from the security law. "After a few years the government stands to make a tremendous nrofrt in pavroll taxes after payment of every cent due in old age benefits," says the World. "In simple terms this means that the government will retain for its own use 42 cents and the worker can expect to get back 58 cents." If the very citizens it is designed to benefit see in the Social Security act a "wage tax" based on an ulterior motive the whole device is greatly in need of explanation and jxxssibly tlrastic revision. Winter is just around the where the boys play football. These Are Kr$ Hf" nrr-f w .

Sometimes he would let me go with him in the morning, if he felt in the mood for chattering company. It seemed to me that the chicken chick-en house was miles and miles away, far over bare, red clay hills that surely must have lots of Indians if a fellow could only get a glimpse of them. Nowadays I judge maybe we walked a mile to get to the chicken house. The chickens used to come squawking when Bruce would come in sight of their high wire pens. Sometimes he would let me give them the last of the pails contents when it got light enough for me to handle. York chicken feathers. I worried a lot about Bruce losing his chickens.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIII T5AMON and Angelique waited A' until Pearl Pierre had gone, and the Indian, too, had walked slowly back to his post. Then they ventured from their hiding place. "You'd better wait here and watch to see that no one comes from the .house while I go see what disturbed de Fores, so," Ramon said, walking toward the ash pile. Then he, too, gave a start, and the exclamation which burst from his lips brought the girl running. "What is it, Ramon? Oh" Her voice trailed off in horror. Visible among the mass of twisted, blackened boughs that had been the Christmas tree was a portion of a human arm apparently appar-ently Pearl Sam's arm, the hand looking much as it had when they had seen it with the candle dripping drip-ping on it, except that now the gold ring was gone. Angelique swayed weakly and Ramon grasped her, pressing her face down on his shoulder. "Quick, let's get out of here, before he comes back!" He led her, stumbling, through the snow. "Not one word of this, Angelique, Ange-lique, to anyone," Ramon warned. "Let Pearl Pierre make the first move; then we'll have something to hold over him." "Then the body isn't in a secret room ," relief in her tone. "I I'm afraid of him, Ramon. He's got a face like the devil that haunted the good Saint " Ramon interrupted. "Listen I Was Thinking By ELS EE C. CARROLL ABOUT OCTOBER I was thinking that October is a significant month to Americans if for no other reason than it gave us four presidents of the United States: Rutherford B. Hayes was born October 4th; Charles A. Arthur, Ar-thur, October 5th; Theodore Roosevelt, October 27th, and John Adams. October 30th. Of even greater significance to us, of course, is the fact that on October 12 Columbus discovered American. What if he had lacked the courage cour-age and determination to verify his belief? What if he had lacked the zeal which made him persist ent in his efforts to find means of carrying out his enterprise? Per haps someone else would have done what he did. But who knows? It is difficult for us to raal-ize raal-ize what fortitude it must have required for men in that dim past to brace the dangers of the unknown un-known sea as Columbus did. We know what type of ships they sailed how uncomfortable and insecure they would seem today, We know something of the legend ary stories with which they were familiar about the monsters of the sea. We know something of the treachery of the ocean in times of storm. Columbus Day October 13 Is it any wonder that Columbus' Colum-bus' men, if the stories that have come down to us. are true, begged him to turn back, that they threatened threat-ened mutiny, that they even plotted plot-ted his destruction. If he had lacked that dauntless courage to cry in the face of all these diccouragements, "Sail on! Sail on." the history of the world might be quite different from what it is today. On October 12, Columbus Day, we might find inspiration for our own spirits in thinking of the echlevements in the face of Prsat odds of Christopher Columbus. ine word October comes from a Latin word meaning eight as this was the eiehth month nt th old Roman year. The Roman festival in which a horse cajled October was sacrificed sacri-ficed to Mars, the god of war fell in this month.

It's plain as can be that Pearl Pierre murdered .lis brother and then burned the avidence of his crime, but only you and I know it" But the girl's mind was back again on what they had seen among the ashes, and she shivered and pressed closer. "What do you suppose he's going Jo do now, Ramon? About that I mean." "He'll probably finish up his job so no one else will stumble on evidence that could be used against him. See what'd I tell you?" Pearl Pierre, carrying a large can, emerged from the kitchen end of the house, and circled around toward the edge of the mesa. Ramon and Angelique hurried around the corner of the house, so that they would not meet him. "Remember now not a word to anyone, dearest," Ramon 'warned again as they came into the patio. "I promise not to tell, Ramon, if you think we shouldn't," she answered. OEARL JOHN met them in the hallway. Instantly Angelique was all smiles and coquetry, and as Ramon watched her talking with their host, he had to admit she was a good actress. "Almost too good," he told himself. him-self. "If she was against a fellow instead of for him look out! I'll wager she'll have Pearl Pierre's number before night." "Where's Bob?" he asked. "Down at the garage, looking over his car," Pearl John answered. an-swered. "It would sound silly, wouldn't it, for me to say how awfully sorry I am that all this had to happen, so you have to stay here? But my brother's sure the men will come today from Santa Fe. Then maybe we can get things straightened out." "What things?" demanded Ramon, Ra-mon, looking at him coldly. "What are you going to tell the officers if they do come which I doubt?" "What do you mean by that?" Pearl John asked. "That nobody has been sent for," Ramon answered.

"Don't pay any attention to Ramon's Ra-mon's tempers, please," broke 'in Angelique. "He's likely to be crabby when -he's hungry. We worked up an appetite walking on the mesa." "PEARL JOHN started to say" something, then evidently changed his mind. After a minute he excused himself, saying that he would see about hurrying luncheon. lunch-eon.

"Here, take this, will you?'' Tante Josephine's door wcis open when they got there and the old woman was standing in the middle of the room, pounding her gold-headed cane on the floor and screaming wildly. Flecks of foam showed on her shriveled lips, and her short white hair was in disorder, dis-order, as though she had run her fingers through it in her rage. "What is it?" asked Betty, easing eas-ing her down into a big chair. "Here, drink this." Pearl John held out 'a glass of wine.- "Now what's the matter with you, Tante Josephine? Tell us."
