Opportunities In America are awaiting the young man who has enthusiasm and the spirit to win o o A. Wilson Gulick, a lifelong resident of St. Mary's township, whose death occurred a few days ago, was probably the oldest alumnus of Indiana University in this section of the state. Mr. Gulick was graduated from the state university In ISM. For many years he taught in the Decatur and Pleasant Mills schools. He then turned to farming and was considered a leader in agriculture circles. He was an interesting individual, a man of fine ideals and Christian spirit. o- —-o The average fellow doesn't envy the famous Dr. Rarton, undersea* explorer, who dived 4,60 ft feet in the Pacific ocean and then "came up" to tell of his experience Using a steel bell, the Bonston scientist was able to remain eight minutes in the ocean deep and saw all kind of Weird fish, including swarms of shrimp. ’He may be able to Inform the world about life under teas, which might be enlighten-

Early Care Important in Crosseye

By Merman N. Bundeeen, MO. CROSSEYE la on* of those defects which moat parents believe the child will outgrow This Is sei dom. If ever. the ease. Moreover, neglect to obtain early treatment for this condition usually means that the child will go through life with poor vision. On the other hand, early treatment will, in most eases, bring about complete correction. and I have done a great deal of reading on the subject of late, for my four-year-old grandson hi suffering from crosseye. When an eye Is crossed, the < hi Id ■ses only his good eye. Thus, the first step in treatment is to make him use both. If this Is not done, dimness of vision develops In tite crossed eye and normal eyesight may never be regained. If one eye crosses repeatedly, the good eye shoaid be covered With a Piece* of gauge or other material This gausse bandag* or •ne of other material Is ehanyed frequently for a period of two or three weeks. If after this time It is found that the good eye crosses and the crossed eye is straight. It stay be netqeanry to reverse the position of lbs bandage pr "Maker.** Thin, tbs normal, good eye is covered for a week tnd then left free for a week If it te found that the child repeatedly pulls off the covering, serf her method may be employed, hat 13 putting what is known as tropine into the good eye.

The medical journal cautions that closing of schools and playgrounds ' may bring more trouble than good." The medics also ad vise that normal living habits should not be upset and emphasises that "One of the best ways to prevent polio is tc avoid overfatigue." The closing of schools would not. as pointed out by the Medical Journal snd educators, remove whatever the cause is for polio. A class room is a clean place and disease does not flourish in the schools. The interesting work of the Junior Red Cross division will be directed by Miss Glennys Roop, a teacher at the Lincoln school. Frequently during the year the children are asked to perform certain services for the Red Cross and always these junior members have met the challenge and completed a fine record. Miss Roop hopes to enroll every school in the county in the national organisation and to have her little helpers ready to answer any call that might come from the Red Cross, the world's greatest service organization. mi in <>■«■' —o-—— The broadcasting companies are going to fight the ruling of the Federal Communications Commission that give-away programs should go off the air While not specifically mentioning any show, the ruling would affect the big ones on the air that give away money and prizes. The broadcasters have a point in their favor, because only three of the seven members of the commission outlawed the programs. An appeal will be taken and in the rtieantime the music and guessing contests will remain on the rir and listened to by millions. — o The vice • president of the United states is going to have a full time job. He becomes an ex officio member of the National Security Council. This is perhaps the first time in our history that the heir to the presidency has had a regular assignment at anything but presiding over the Senate and listening to its speeches Perhaps the precedent may be followed, and future legislation will put the vice-president on other important boards. Then he might be helped to leazn something of what the Prv-sid.nt needs to know about importan' problems. in the event that he is called upon to fill the office.

for the child to use the crosseye. Crosseye may cause double vision or blurring of the eyesight. It may cause headache, nausea or sickness at the stomach or even vomiting In adults, but these symptoms occur only rarely in children. When the child is old enough, which is often by the time be is two years of age. glasses may be put on, it necessary, to correct the eyesight. About half of all cases of crosslye may be treated successfully in this way. The other cases require some form of operation Often the glssses put on at an early age may be discarded when the child Is about four years old and has attained complete correction ofthe condition. If operation is required, it should usually be done before the child starts school. As a general rule. It should not be attempted before four years of age. If the operation is done too early, the crosseye may recur. In some cases, the operation may only be carried out for the purpose of making the eyes appear normal. that is. the croeeeye may have continued so long that some toes of vision in the affected eye hue already occurred.

o : o Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE —• Q. When the brief form of introduction is used, such as. "Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Smith." in what way can it be made apparent who is being Introduced to whom? A. The more important person’s name should® be accentuated so that it will be as dear as though 'the words, "May 1 present," had I been used. y. Is it necessary to write a "thunk you” letter when one has been entertained informally at dinner? A. No; when leaving, tell the hostess how much you have enjoyed the evening, and then in a few weeks, invite her to your home. Q In what way should a sherbet glass be held, by the bowl or by the stem?

CHAPTER ONE J THIS broken land, thin timbered, rocky desolation stretched to the 1 tar horizons, a place of emptiness, ■ a place of ponderous silences, a I land deceptively peaceful to look upon. From the high ridge where the' three waited they could see the 1 whole sweeping panorama of the basin with the cottonwood-fringed creek snaking below them and the scattered brush and rocks and trees all glorious and golden in the last light Farther away, to the north and west, the high outlines of the Tumblerock Range built a pine-crested barrier, and a storm, gathering about the peaks, painted the sky a muddy hue. Such was the scene, primitive and forlorn, monstrous and eerie, yet somehow magnificent To Chip Halliday, possessor of a lively imagination, it was a battleground for giants, an arena where a Paul Bunyan might have engaged tn titanic struggle with some awesome creature of another age. Stretched upon the ridge top. Chip was easing the weariness of his long, lean body, the accumulated weariness of three hard days I riding upon a stolen hone, and while he rested, his blue eyes glazed with dreamtag. he let his fancy play. Ute Kincade, given to more practical thinking, said, "They're down below. I tell you. I just saw another move in those trees by the creek. They're closi ing in on us, mister —closing in i for the kill:" Hunkered at Chip’s elbow, KinI cade now came to a careful stand, moving back from the hp of the ridge. A slack-jawed man who ran to arms and legs, this Kincade had grown more testy each hour that the pursuit bad gained upon I them. Anger in his little eyes, Klni cade said, “Well, are you just gonna lay there, Halliday, till they come and snap the iron on your I wrists?" The third man, old Singin' Bam McAllister, was with the horses, a dozen paces away. A little man ' with almost half a century of sad--1 dlc-wiiacksg behind him. his legs > were bowed and bis egg-shaped head was bald, but he owned a i luxuriant yellow moustache of pre- ( tcntlous size. "Lay off the kid," . he said. "When he's figgered out . what to do. be'U tell us. There's mure ways of killin' a cat than clickin’ it with buttermilk!" 1 "Sure, keep your shirt on, Ute," Chip drawled. "Remember the bargain when we took you with us? i Wa re running this play, and if . you're going to tag along, you've got to do things our way." •Then lets be doing them’" ‘ Kincade snapped.

this break. And those boys downt below are likely thinkin' of the reward that's been pinned on our scalps!" Something sang a high, thin song over their heads; a rifle cracked far below; and the silence of the basin was shattered asunder as the walls caught the echo and multiplied it. Kincade shouted, “I saw the smoke! Down there, by that big boulder! Just let him show himself -again!" Dragging a forty-five from a battered holster, he edged forward, but Chip came to a stand then, seizing Kincade’s elbow. "Save your lead, you fool!” Chip ordered. •’They’re out of sixshooter range. You’d just be throwing it away." "Save your lead!” Kincade babbled. "Save your lead! That’s all I’ve beard since we scaled the wall at Deer Lodge and found these guns at that old empty ranchhouse that same night The way you act, Halliday, you'd think those jiggers below were friends. That's Tate Strunk leading that posse, mister! Do you understand? | The toughest screw in Deer Lodge pen—a galoot who's a prison guard all the way through—a galoot who’s got prison stone and prison steel in his heart and soul. He'll take us back alive, or he'll take us back dead; it makes no never mind to him. And you want me to sit here till he climbs the elope!"

"l want you to tine your head!" Chip countered. “Strunk knows our horse* are tired; big poane's probably changed mount* a doaen timea in the last three days. Likewise he know* he can either atarve ua out of here or watt till we run low cn ammunition. Just doa’t play into hia hands, that's aIL" "What are we gonna do?" Kincade wailed. Old Bingin’ Sam eyed that spreading darkneas above the distant peaks. "Rain's coming," be Mid. Down below the rifles were yammering in unison, ascots or more i of them, and Chip saw now that I the posse had spread itself out i along the creek. But that thin chain of riflemen wa* drawing ' nearer; be marked more than one : man darting from bush to stone, i And he saw the strategy of Tate i Strunk with like clarity; the man was moving up Jowly and waiting ’ for darkness to come—the darkness that would cloak the poese ’ while they rushed the slope.

Kincade interjected. 'This is enough like a funeral without having music throwed in!" I "Rain—!" Sam said exultantly l and held out his hand for conI flrmatlon. The gold was gone from the • basin now; across the sky the pall ;of darkness had spread and, be- . low, the shadow had fallen over ; the land. The drops came, a mere* spattering at first, and then hard. • driving pellets, lashing down upon i these three, making them hunch their shoulders and pull their som I breroe low. It was wet and it was . miserable up here oa this rocky 1 shoulder of a ridge, and there was )no shelter for the three. The sky l deepened to a scowling black; the > light was fast fading: and only the intermittent lightning flashes gave

Ufs and shape to the basin betow. Beyond the peaks the thunder exploded. and still the guns spoke as before. “They're getting just as wet M we are," Kincade observed. "But they've got' slickers—damn 'em And they’ll be cornin' now. comin fast. Another night and we'd have been knockin’ at the gates of Forlorn Valley, and once into that land beyond the law, we could 'a' thumbed our noeeo at every tin toter in Montana. A fine finish this Is!" Chip, holding silent for many minute*, had been studying toe dark pocket of the baata. marking gun-flashes and noticing that they were drawing nearer. Now be said, "Here's where we split up boys." . "Split up?" Kincade frowned "What do you mean, Halliday ?" “This darkness can help us a» much as it can tbsm." Ctap observed. "Tm going down that slope, and I'm taking ail three horse* with me And I'm gambling that I'll get chased by the whole bunch; tbey'U figure we’re all making a break for it That'U leave you two afoot, but it will leave you with a chance to sneak off It's either that or sit titt the btuu = cbmfls up teem" (To Bo Continued; r• “.’nr—
