Gardner told Miss Cowan that h was going to escape. He told her the methods and means he would use, as material for her next film thrill. She saw Gardner on the train o which they were both passengers from California. He appealed to he sympathy as a likable-looking young fellow in arreat trouble, and to the professional instinct in her as "ma terial" with which to weave a drama. So she talked with him. in an infor inal wav. as did the others on the train, and he gave to her the essen tials of the' story. Escape Is Predicted.

Miss Cowan was standing In the door of the private compartment in which the prisoners and the three men guarding them were riding. She was watching Gardner as he awk wardly tried to eat his meal with manacled hands. His left hand kept forgetting that it was cuffed to the right, kept forgetting to follow on the upward trfp to his mouth, and he spilled the fruit frequently. He spilled his bites, and laughed.

The boy disappeared while at play and his parents believed he had been lost. After the police searched the city for two days the child's mother received a letter demanding $2500 and threatened other merbers of the family with death. A woman detective later trapped five men who came in response to a letter from the mother offering $500 for her child's return.

Re- orts of recent rural investigation by the national child labor commit tee will be presented by members of the staff at the 16th national confer- nce on child labor, to be neld here June 24, in conjunction with the ra tional conference of social work. The general topic of the meeting will be Fair Play for the Cojctry Child." ' The principal speakers will be Dr. Felix Adler, founder and senior lead er of the Society for Ethical Culture of New York and professor in Colum bia university; Professor E. C.

Conditions of child employment in certain hjghly industrialized forms of agriculture, such as beet raising and onion culture, will be described The right of country children gen erally to a good schooling and to plenty of wholesome play and recrea tlon .will be emphasized. The con spicuous feature of rural child labor, says the committee, is Its interference with school attendance. The aver age school term in the United State is 140 days, while the city term Is 180 days. Of every hundred children en rolled in city schools the daily at tendance is 80. while of every hun dred enrolled in rural schools only 6S are in daily attendance.

Starting with the 50-yard senior race, which was won by Reggie Har rison of Multnomah, the clubmen swept through, the entire programme, taking a first place in every event. It was. not a victory without strong competition, however, fo.r In every race the lemon-yellow splashers put up plenty of fight, and in many of the events were nosed out of first place by a close margin. No records were broken in the meet, but many of the times were considered fast. Dmk la Sensational.

Legion national treasurer, which will be sent with contributions of other Legion members to France. Before the war the school children of. Haulchine par Chiant (Nord), France, spent many instructive hours among the few but well chosen books of the school library. Mile. A. Meurtn, the teacher, wrote to Mr. Galbraith. Then came the German invasion. The enemy used the school house for bil lets and removed all but 15 precious volumes. "To rebuild this library," Mile Meu rin wrote, "I applied to our city gov ernment, but the municipality is poor. There are no funds left. Where can we find from 1500 to 1800 francs to buy new books for bur library?" In a letter to the French girl Mr. Galbraith said: "I sincerely hope that It may be possible for us to be of some slight help in rebuilding the little country school in your lovely town. Perhaps you will hear more of! this later, for I have turned the mat ter over to one of our good friend in the American Legion who will see what best may be done." Other Legion members are expected to assist In restoring the library to tne rencn children.

PAPEETE, Tahiti.-1 (By the Associ ated Press.) Rapa (or Rapl Iti, to give its full name), an island about 700 miles south of Tahiti untouched bv the corrosive blight of civilization. whose natives live in a state (of prim tive simplicity, is described here as undefiled by Paris fashions or nign; heeled shoes. Indeed, they have no fashions at all except uch of a cast- off nature as may be supplied at very rare Intervals by the good peo ple of Tahiti when the missionary schooner chances to be going that way. . " Rapa would be the ideal resort for the tired business man. It is a place where the wicked cease from trou bling and the weary may find rest if he be of the masculine gender. In Rapa the women do all the work llling the fields, preparing the meals, and even feeding their lords and mas ters. All the men have to do is to go out on an occasional fishing expe dition, and the rest of the time to leep. When dinner time arrives they are awakened and the women of the house feed them by rolling the food in little morsels and tosslnthem into their mouths. The only eirorts they are obliged to make Is the act of chewing; and when this wearies I them they resume their slumbers till the next mealtime. Unfortunately, Rapa is remote and inaccessible. There is no direct comV munication from Tahiti except when the French gunboat makes a voyage that way (once a year or so), or the missionary schooner makes its rounds even less often. Being well out of the tropics, the cocoanut tree does not thrive there; the only product of any commercial value being coffee. This Is not, how ever," worth going after, as sufficient coffee is raised on Tahiti and the near-by islands to supply the demand. Scientists are interested in Rapa on account of some massive stone works situated on the hills that look like fortifications. Who built them and for what purpose are problems yet unsolved. Representatives from the Bishop museum of Honolulu now in tnese islands are endeavoring to get to Rapa in order to study these remains and to solve the mystery of their builders.
