Herbert Duck- worth has thoroughly investigated the situation and writes his conclusions exploding this aviation propaganda in the August issue of "Plain Talk." "A Frenchman was in Washington last January," relates the writer in "Plain Talk," "and, desiring to go to New York in a hurry on important business, inquired, in his Innocence, al)out air schedules at his hotel. He would have done the same thing under similar circumstances in any Euro- pean capital. The hotel porter acted as though he had been asked for a time table of the subway to the moon. The puzzled Frenchman needed help. He taxied over to the office of the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics of the Dept. of Commerce. The men in the Air Information Di- vision were obliged to admit that there was no air route operating out of Washington. 'C'est extrordinaire!' exclaimed the Frenchman." Mr. Duckworth reveals that there are no regular air lines carrying pas- scngor.s from the principal cities of the United States not to mention the capital of the country. Utilizing sta- tistics to good advantage he clearly shows that the Uniteil States is far behind the European countries in the matter of air transportation of pas- sengers as well as of mail and bag- Rage. "Try to take an airplane from New York to Boston," says the "Plain Talk" writer, "and you will discover that there is no regular service be- tween the world's largest city and the 'Hub of the Universe.' In fact, pas- sengers are carried 'only by special arrangement.' From December 1 to April 1, no passengers are carried under any circumstances." (>)mpnring various sections of this country with similar portions of Eur- open the "Plain Talk" writer con- cludes that "when it comes to passen- ger-carrying airlines, the United States, considering her size, wealth and boasted genius, ranks with Persia, and, until those re«lly respons'blo for her sorry plight shake themselves out of their lethargy, it would be only de- ceit of the professional shouters for aviation to soft-pedal a bit. Their babble about the United States lead- ing the world in air transportation is ridiculous. "There is not one pas."»©ngcr-carry- ing airline in the whole of N^ Eng- land," declares this air investigator in comparing that section of the Un- ite<l States with Old England. "Planes leave Croyden, a London suburb, daily for all parts of Europe, with connections to Nort,h Africa and the Far East. The rates offer competi'ion to the railroads and the channel steamers. One can fly to Paris from the $1,250,000 airport at Croydon (250 miles) for a little under twenty dol- lars. There is not a single passenger- carrying airline running from any point on or near the Atlantic Sea- board to any point north, south, east or west, with the exception of the dinky little line between Key West and Havana. The only lines in this vast area that are 'comparable to Western Continental Europe' are the Chicago-St. Paul, the Detroit-Cleve- land and the Cleveland-Buffalo Every American who has been abroad in the last few years knows that tin whole of Europe is linkinl up with passenger- carrying airlinea from Oslo in the north to Seville in the south, from Ijomdon in the west to Constantinople in the east, and that one can Iravtl by air between any of the European capitals and between many of the smaller cities just as easily as one can travel by the railroad." â-  ♦â- - Canadian-New Zealand Trade Auckland (N.Z.)

He meets Vera Copley, patient, who is supposed to be sister to Anita Copley, nurse. A per- sonage conies to spend some time at the hospital and Dr. Morion tells Kel- sey that he is called Alderman Hig- gins. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. It came at last. Kelsey had been so intent on discovering some under- lying motive in the request, that he had not seen the advantage to him- self. It was a great light, but still he could not dvest himself of doubt. "What's your game, Doctor?" he asked bluntly. "I wouldn't pull you out of the water if I saw you drowning, or res- cue you from a burning house. But it's foolish for a man to cut off his nose to spite his face; and I'm pretty well fed up on loafing. Perhaps, on the understanding that 1 take over this work solely for my own diversion and advantage, and not in any sense to aid you, I might â€" ?" "Put it on any grounds you please," Bristow interrupted with a significant movement of the head. "Shall I ex- pect you here tomorrow morn'ng?" "Yes," curtly. "I'll draw up a sort of schedule tonight of the subjects to be covered, and have it ready to sub- mit to you." CHAPTER XIII. Days very seldom go exactly as phinne<i. Bristow hovered about all morning, helping lay out the work, ccnsulting books, oiVcring suggestion.'', keeping Kelsey so b;;sy that he did not have a moment to slip away from his desk and look for the girl, and thM afternoon wius not much better. It was almost five o'clock before he felt i frc<! to leave the office and seek her. Most of the patients, he saw, with IV.eir attendant nurses, were clustered over at the side of the lawn, inte-- esledly watching the destruction of a wide section of the wall beyond the enL'rding he.ige. He stood locking on with th3 othei's, tut his eyes were less engage! with Ihe wall than in sifting the group of spectators for a sight of the girl; and he had about made up his mind that fhe was not present, when he finally saw her sitting on a stone beach a lit- tle removed from the rest. Kelsey looked about for the omni- present nurse, but she was nowhere in sight; so he walked boldly over and seated himself on the bench. He felt tlie girl start and turn, but he did not glance at her. With his ell)ow on his crossed knee, chin in hand, he sat watching the demolition of the wall. "Where is Miss Copley?" he asked under his breath. "Ill," she answered. "She's got a sick headache. Another of the nurses is supposed to be looking after ma, but she's busy now. "Oh," she went on in a fervent whisper, "I've prayed that you would come today. I've dared so much on the strength of it. It was so neces- sary that I should see you." "And also, that I shouH jee you," he broke in. "1 have news. Bristow h.as enga«:ed me to help him in the preparation of some magazine articles. I will be in his office, in a position to know everything that goes on. Per- hapsâ€"?" "Wait!" she Interrupted. "Before any one comes, I have something I want to give you." She cast a searching glance about; and then slipped a folded paper from between the sheets of her pad, letting it fall on the seat between them, Bcreencd by her frock. He dropped his hand over It, and with deft sleight-of-hand transferred it to his pocket, bringing up in its stead a cigaret. "It's safe," he assured her. "And now tell me about your work with Bristow," ehe said. He did so briefly, explaining the features connected with it that might inure to their benefit. "Also," he went on, 'T have found out about Higgins as you asked me to." "Oh, yes?" But the intorest the bad shown the day before In the decrepU old m%n teemed tft ]iave Tr»"l««i. "'He's fiand In glove with Brirtow," said Kelaey, eonclu<IKng his sketchy report "And I li«v« no doubt Is Jutt as big a crook/* ' - "And Cbpley, too," added the girl with conviction. "They're all three crooks together." Kelsey himself had much the same idea, but he hadn't wanted to say it, Strange, that ehe should speak so of her sister. But already her thoughts seemed to hav« tunWd in another direction. She was gating again In the gap in tbsvsH. ,. "Do you know anything of Dr. Bris- tcw's engagements?" she asked unex- pectedly. He shook his head. "Only, that I heard him tell his secretary, he would be attending a dinner of the Medical Society in town tomorrow night." "Tomorrow night!" For some rea- son, this seemed to her extremely im- portant. "And Copley's sick headache will last two or three days; they always do." She spoke musingly as if the two facts to her held some connection. Fearing that he had already stayed too long with hjr, and knowing of no- thing else to be said, Kelsey rose to go; but she detained him with a quick gesture. "Wait!" He could see that her fin- gers were trembling as she guided her pencil ; there was an excited tremor in her voice. "I must see you tomorrow. Don't let anything prevent. I have an idea. We may be able to get away." He nodded. A nurse was moving to- ward Ihem, and he dared not linger. "I will lay off about noon, and find you." He was eager of course to see what the message she had given him con- tained, but he deliberately held him- self in check. He ate his dinner, talk- ed an hour or so with Morton, and it was not until he was safe in his room and had taken every precaution against surprise, that he ventured to look at it. 'I was brought here," it began with- out preamble, "I don't know how. The next day â€" it must have been the next day â€" Dr. Bristow told me that I had Copley, when I knew the doctor was uway. I fought to get out the door, r.nd when she gave me the drug to quiet me, I accused her of having 'given me an over-doee in her excite- ment. She denied it, but was bother- ed. Then I pretended to lie in a stu- por for almost an entire day. When I came to, I acted as if I were stupid, as if I were someone else. I said I was a writer and asked for pencils and paper, and wrote pages of non- eense. "I heard Bristow talking to Coipley. 'Shamming,' he said at first, but she was convinced by this time that she had given me an overdose, and finally got him to thinking so too. I heard him explaining to her about 'shock' and something about 'a eoitgenitally weak brain.' , She was upset about it all, but he told her, 'Better so, if it's true.' "He put me through all kinds of tests? â€" surprises, everything. It was dreadful, but my nerves are strong, and I was fighting for my life. He talked to me about my parents, my home. I was indifferent. Then he got to trying to make me remember things that aren't true. He told me my name was Verna Copley, and I re- peated it after them like a parrot. 1 have only forgotten my pose with them once. That was when Copley tried a hat on me and 1 caught a glimpse of myself and burst out laugh- ing. But it was so grotesque that even an imbecile would have laughed. "I have been afraid to make myself known to any one. To say that I am Hope Ranger would only convince m.ost people that I am the lunatic I appear. But I am Hope Ranger, and I know that you will believe me. Just as I believed you." (To be continued.) m with GILLETfS LYE A teaspoonf ul of GiUett's Lye •prtnkled in the Garbage.

But when the effects of the drug wore off â€" I must have been given a drug â€" I felt well and strong. My parents did not come, there wero excuses. I Insisted on go- ing home. Dr. Bristow and the Cop- ley woman wouldn't let me. When I tried to go, they prevented me by force. I ecreamed and struggled. Then the Doctor put a drug into my arm. These scenes happened several times, and always ended in the same way. They never let me get out of that one room. Then one day when Copley thought I was asleep, I heard her talking outside my door to another nurse. "This woman said: 'le your sister getting any better?' and Copley an- swered in a weepy voice: 'No; she'll never be any better, I'm afraid.' They talked a while, and then the other nurse said : 'If you were a little young- er, dearie, and hadn't been here for years, I'd try and get the hundred thousand dollars reward for that mis»- ng Hope Ranger, You're almost a dead ringer for her.' "Then it all flashed over me, what they were doing; why I, Hope Ranger, wa« in this placeâ€"" The sheets of the letter shook in Kelsey's hands. "After I heard these women talking and understood what it meant I nearly went mad, trying to think what to do. I had already tried to bribe Copley, but she Is in love with Bristow and absolutely ruled by him. So I just sat thit>king; plans, plans seething through my brain â€" " "I know all about that," muttered Kelsey as he paused to turn the page. Then she quickly resumed:â€" "I was so furious, so despairing, ao bent on finding some way out, that I wouldn't even look at those two, the only persona I saw. I wouldn't speak to them, or notice them in any way. They couldn't understand the reason for the change in me, and were sur- prlted. I saw them exchanging giances. And then It came to roe, I don't know how, that if I pretended to be sUly and not remember anything, they might let me omt of that room ^nd go_aboj}t as 1 saw the other? doing from my window.

O IVIInard's Liniment â€" A reliable first aid •> • Immigration Manctester Guardian (Lib.): (The Archbishop of Melbourne, speaking at a Manchester Luncheon Club, said that on the question of Immigration a great deal had been said that ought to be unsaid.) The three qualifica- tions required of the Immigrant were courage, wisdom and patience, and first of all he would put courage. No man should ever come to Australia If he thought ho was going to a soft Job, because he wasn't. It meant hard work for the man, rather harder work for the woman; and men should not come too old, nor If they had the anxiety of a considerable family. He preferred to have Immigrants quite young, so that, possibly from boyhood and girlhood, they might have the feeling that they really were Aus- tralian, and grow up in an atmosphere In which homesickness should not play too predominant a part. It was not the least good a man going out to grow apples and potatoes whose whole life had been spen. at the loom. He should not go out unless he had something or someone to go to. Folding Boats Useful to Campers The knock-down, take-down, folding or collapsible boat â€" whatever you , please to call it â€" is not a sure-fire con- traption for getting an unexpected bath as the old-time campers contend, but, according to the CJamping Editor of "Forest and Stream Magazine," a' valuable addition to any woodsman's pack. "It is strange to relate and yet a fact nevertheless," points out this ex- pert, "that the great worth of these take-down boats has yet to be uni- versally recognized, and it is even more a little-known fact that most all of these boats are made staunch enough, unshakable enough so as to permit an outboard motor being used In combination with them. "Last summer," continues the edi- ' tor, "I was trying out for the first time a collapsible canvas boat. A party looking ov«r our outfit and inqairing about what sort of boat we wsra go- ing to use was shown the tame in its take-down state. I was pron-.ptly told that I was crazy for trusting a water- craft of the sort. One gentleinan said it would be the last thing he would venture into and that a thouisand- dollar bill would rot get him out oi a lake in one of them. To back him uo there were vigorous lipad-shakintjs all around and figurativi'ly. I was already numbered with ysst'j'day's ten thou- I sand years so far as my earthly pres- ence was concerned. .'Vnd yet we came I down one of the fast rivers of the north in this outfit (one hundred and I f:f ty miles, hy the way) and complet- ed the trip unscathed, in fact did not ship water once while going down I twelve miles of as treacherous rapids as you can find anywhere. The same I is true of most take-down or collan- pible boats. Were people to really Jiave confidence in them there would be hundreds of vacations that would be successes instead of certain fail- ' ures." Gloria Swanson: Won't you have some tea?
