CHAPTER 2
THE KNIFE Or MAPEMOISElSg
JT was a peasant room Into which
tha houno':eeppr took me. Win

was open, andgave acccsto a flat

It opened noiselessly. Tha girl ap

She was holding one of the oils,
looking at It Intent!.'. The subject
was the bead and shoulders of t
old lady with red-apple cheeks and
a white cctjfcr and an Indomitable
air that mads you look twice t

I wondered It there was a connec

Seven o'clock round me with an
hour on my hands. I ought to have
gone downstalrb, but I stepped to
the Window.
The root, an oblong open on two
Ides, along which i low parapet
ran, looked south and west. On the
west tide a stair descended to tbe
dim "
I had a trelty good. Idea ot ny
UrruundlngB. The cove Indented
the southwest corner. Parados had
built his home on Ce north side of
the core: tbe ruin wf tbe fort V'las
quez had bull: was en the south side.
A light indicated the locntlon ot the
fort tower. .Evidently It wa oc
cupied. By v-hom?
The cove was a hundred yards
or so wide; the light was perhaps
twice that distance from whore 1
stood. Unless Tbe Gut wns bridged
and 'I bad soon no bridge It
would be necessnry to walk ar.'und
the head ot The Out, a considerable
distance, to get from the house to
the fort.
I bogffn to dig up T hat 1 knew ot
the Island's history. The original
estate had beon granted to Mm
father of D,n Ramon by the King
ot Spain about 1S10. San Lucas
ftland had been thrown In with It,
The Velasquezs prospered until
the Americans bersp to blow over
the horizon. Don Ramon built the
tort on San Lucns as a protest
against the Yankee Invasion.
When Calirornln Joined the Union,
0 Don Ramon withdrew to San Lucas
Island And lived In the fort until Vi
death. His grandson died without
half,- In nih.ii ft Bl
the mainland estate had been lost
Tho Island was told Tor debt and
Parados bought It cheap around
19T2. '
I happened to glance at the cliffs
below. There had hfmn no one there

'HELLO THERE' AT
ARMORY TONIGHT
SURE TO PLEASE
The stage of the Med ford arm
ory has been transformed ft. a
beuutiful garden and the auditor
ium rewired for the preHentution
of "Hello There" to be given thta
evening under the auspices of the
Greater Medford club. The public
will not recognize the place. In the
announcement going about the
city, nnd will be pleasantly sur
prised at tho improvement in
acousticH accomplished through
the re-wiring.
The dress rehearsal of the musi
cal comedy held last night went
off well with all indications of
Jolly entertainment for tonight.
Mrs. Ktella AndersQ will net ns
pianist for the numerous dance
features included in the show.
The cast of 150 children and
adults have mastered their lines
and dances and the production is t
expected to go off in smooth fash
ion under the direction of Allsa
Hosetla 2ura.
Leading among the colorful sur
prs which will greet the public
are tho Japanese Sunshine, Kewpie
Doll and Baby Doll choruses. They
will vie for honors with the col
Jege boys rnd ' stria, valentines,
widows and bachelors and military
cadets.
Members of the major cast are
Laura Drury, Richard ApplegaPe,
Mr. Hardisty, Kleanor Curry, Mrs.

Ions und the excreta of iho typhoid
canes und pans live germs of tllu
disease shortly afterward. Further
more, a well-fed fly makes Hpecks
at a rate of 5u per day, tlila being
Iho principal Way files
of disease to our rood. The piilk
Jug and tho n-eslily baked loaf of
bread are as inviting t bis appe
tite as the dead curcass or an uui
nial or the bed pan or the tvphoid
patient.
The Problem
I 1. A pair ot riles beginning Mnv
1 1 are callable or producing 5,7-lti,-
(I10.5O0 flics by .luly :w.
- mere are .'1 diseases borne
by tho fly.
II. Tho fly Is one of tho great
proninma In man's wnr against dls
ease anil death.
4. Food that, has been touched
by a fly should not he oaten.
f. Flies go to filthy places to
eat os freely as to clean.
li. ir you see a fly, you can bo
certain his breeding place is not
far away.
The Remedy
1. Destruction or ihe breeding
places Is tlio best way to control
riles.
in statues w here manure can
not bo removed tho larvao should
bo destroyed by tho Ireo uso of 1(1
ounces of bimix nnd 1:! ounces of
calcium coleinnnite to each It) cu
bic feet (8 bushels) of mnniiro im
mediately after Its removal from
tho stall. Ilorax should he dusted
upon the floor and crevices nfter
tho manure has lieen removed.
II. Fly traps are helpful.
I. Clean premises, clean bouses
and destruction of breeding places
are the keynotes to fly control.

WASHINGTON (P) Licenses to
operate two luw-puwered stations
"for tho extermination of Insects"
have been granted by the federal
radio commission to a spray con

The licenses are for a three
month period and call for opera

Tlio concern, which was granted
licenses for experimental purposes

ing of insects liy radio. Iiut the
stimulation of plant growth term
ed "marvelous." The system used
was not described.
The application was opposed by
federal radio engineers who ex
pressed doubt ns to the value of
radio in this particular field. They
also held that tho type of trans
