J ADVENTURERS' Hide and Seek mr By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter, sir, I have often said that you don't have to be a adventurer to have an adventure that you don't have to have a job in a hazardous occupation to get your share of thrills out of life. In fact, that is the theory this Adventurers' club of ours is based on, and it must be a doggone good theory at that, because we have certainly told about a lot of nonprofessional adventurers since we started to operate. I could cite you hundreds of examples of people who work in stores and offices, who have been all mixed up in thrillers that would raise the hair of any professional explorer. WELL, suc-jeee- d. : i I could show you hundreds of people who have bad adventures right In their own homes right in your city. I haven't got space for the whole hundred, but today I am going to tell you the story of one of those guys the story of William Bolinger, whose road down the old Adventure Trail started out in his own living room at home with a simple kid's game of hide and seek. Bill Bolinger is a grown man now, and he probably doesn't play hide and seek any more, but If he did, I bet he'd never play it without remembering the incident back In 1907 when the game that he and his little sitter played led straight to disaster. In those days. Bill lived with his mother and sister In the town f Grafton, W. Va. It was a four-ator- y frame house that they lived in, and the Bolingers wort way up on the top floor. The house sat on the edge of a high bank which ran down to the edge of the railroad yards. The BoUnger't windowrJooked' outrover the top of a sloping drop of alcfr9$ porch roof. And from that roof to the tmkW btfftwwa feet. I ; r Little Sister Finally Outwits the Crowd. Well, sir, there was a big game going" "on in' the" Bollnter homestead. Bill versus little sister. It was sister's turn to hide, anfrwef- l-' generally little Bister was easily discovered, because SiS was only four yean old, and couldn't think of odd corners as well as Bill could. But this time She seemed to have hit on a bird of a hiding place, for although young Bill searched the house from one end to another, doggoned if he could find her, or any trace hide-and-se- wjfowwhat Chevrolet Co. Confident Of a Good Year In 1936! Indications point to a good business year in 1936. Two significant facts indicate how our company regards the near future. We spent $25,000,000 in plant expansion during 1935. The public has accepted our new models with an unprecedented enthusiasm that rhows no abatement. A manufacturing company does not expand its production capacities by unless it feels confident about the future. The motoring public does-nbuy more than 180,000 Chevrolets in November and December unless there is need for new cars,, buying" capacity to purchase such quantities of large package merchandise and a confidence in continued economic improvement. Barring unpredictable accidents, the progress made in 1935 should continue in the automobile industry. That industry is so laree that if its for- movement continues, the effect sward A "produced upon all industry will be beneficial. Chevrolet has, during the pa:t three years, built 200,000 cars each year more than the preceding year. In 1935 it produced more than one million cars. The most conclusive proof of what we think of 1936 can be deduced from our actions during the last few months. Business generally shows it again feels free to display its former enterprising spirit and this is a real basis for optimism. one-four- th ot Some wait for a pull, for sudden riches or a special opportunity.

Mother couldn't find Sis, either, and she was beginning to get alarmed. After she had searched the house, she went downstairs Into the' yard at the side of the house, thinking she might have sneaked down there. But Sis wasn't there. No child had ever vanished more completely than that little tyke had. Mother had Just come back up the stairs when she glanced out of the window and saw a curious activity in the shop on the other side of the railroad yard. A bunch of men were standing in front of it, looking up at the Bolinger flat. One of them was pointing and yelling something, but he was so far away that she couldn't make out what he was saying. For a minute she thought maybe the house had caught fire. She ran Into the bedroom and looked out the window in the direc-saw she what no fire but was There there, man was tlon the pointing. made her heart pound faster than ever a fire could make it For there was Sis, on the slippery porch roof, way down near the edge, hanging onto the gutter with one hand and waving with the other to the men down by the shop. That porch roof sloped at an angle of about 40 degrees and was covered with smooth, slippery tin. It was just a miracle that she had managed to get as far as she had without falling off. Bill's mother wanted to scream, but she didn't dare. A Tale of a Mother's Courage and Her Son's. She knew, in that moment, that she mustn't do anything to excite Sis anfl make her try to scramble back to the window. Instead, she motioned to Bill and whispered to him to crawl quietly out on the roof. Then she held onto even his ankles while he reached out and caught hold of Sis by the arm. But Mother.
