Anne tries to leap ashore, and is saved fro.n the churntng water by John scuman. a Finnish boy. But Rob Crocker. Anne's fiance, seems to resent Anne's gratitude, and at auses Neuman of a plot against the aanneries ichtt he takes Anne for a tour of the plant. Anne asks him to explain.

They weigh the flsb In here, then send them through that chute there where they're washed and cleaned, scaled, headed and washed again . . , let's foo.et Neuman." He pulled at ber arm, and Anne, smiling at the two blgh'booted fishermen who stood waiting to learn the total of their catc'i. moved on. "Sharlee was at the office when 1 drove In," Rob went on, "she invited me up to dinner with the family" "How did she know we were In town?" "Seems your father telephoned Leo at some .inearthly hour last night As you folks haven't a car t answered, "we're stopping at the ho tel. you'll come up and see me won't you?" "Yes," agreed the woman. "Maybe 1 tell you soma more stories." she added, and Anne noticed the blue eyes were twinkling with mischief. "Wll! you? I've never forgotten those you used to tell. Remember the one " "Anne, we'll have to hurry," Rob interposed. "I know," she agreed. Then to Mrs. Sorkl, "when will you come up? Tonight, I'm going to have to go to the Lee Farnsworths for dinner." "Yes," nodded Tecla, "my Mllna. she waits, t'table there, tonight." "I'll be glad to see her, and Orvl, how Is be? You know, Rob. her eon Orvl was only two months older than 1 and be used to boss me" "Anne," Rob :augbt ber elbow In a firm grip, "If you Intend to make the rounds of tbe cannery and re turn to the hotel In time to dress" "All right" Anne Jerked away from bis arm. "Tecla I'll be looking for you," she said, and moved away. As soon as tbey were out of bear ing she turned to ber fiance, "Rob, what on earth possesses you, today?" she asked. 'It you mean wby didn't 1 want you standing there getting chummy with a cannery worker, I'll explain. There Is such a thing as morale among the workers and It can't be maintained at Us Impersonal stand ard of efficiency, If the owner's daughter Is going to rush Irto tbe arms of the first person she recog nises." Anne Impulsively rushed Into' thi waiting arms. ; mm (V''" jt 4 t - ' atii to ' ""1 'f-'-rii iiilmnsmiS bore, suppose we ail drive up from the hoted In mine?" "All right" Anne paused, because tbey had entered the cannery prop er, a great silver grey room where machinery .whirled and roared. She watched as a huge fish went Into an "Iron chink" to reappear sovered In sections.' "Will tbere be anyone there, ex cepting us?" she asked as they moved on. "Just the Farleys." Anne hoped her quick grimace of dlstcste hadn't boon obsorved by Rob. She turned quickly to where a - woman In a green and grey uniform watched a machine which doftly took a flat piece of tin, cut It twlrlod It Into a cylinder and passed It on. "Here's how they're packed," droned Rob, in a flat uninterested voice. Tbey bad paused boslde another machine which was carrying empty cans along a groove, filling them with matched sections of fish, and pass ing thorn on. Tbe woman who guarded this glanced up as they stopped, and suddenly her serious stolid expression changed to one of radiant recognition. "Nlkkl," she cried, looking at Anne. "You must' be mistaken." Anne paused. Nlkkl, .he name strummed at some dim chord of memory. "VJ1KK1?" repeated Anne, then ' "Of course, that's what my nurs. used to call me." She looked at the woman a second time, then linp'jlslvely rushed Into the waiting arms. "Rob." she cried, "this Is Tecla, Tecla Sorkl, who took care of me the first six years of my lire. It's been ages since I've seen you, Tecla, not since 1 was ten. What are you doing here?" Tocla Sorkl's face lost Its radiance as the mild blue eyes encountered those of Rob Crocker. "I work," she answered stolidly. "You will slay In Astoria for a while?" she asked. "A couple of days at least," Anne A NNfc stopped and turned towards Rob Crockor, hor dark eyoa ateady as they surveyed him. "You snob," she said and walked away; walked blindly away towards the first exit she saw, and not until she had passed through and found tbe gale whipping her jacket about ber, did she realise she waa on the narrow ledge which ran along the western side of tha cannery. As troublod as the waters whlcb swirled below her, she stared down at them. What was the matter with Rob, with hor fathor, with every body? They all seemed to be ready to snap at the slightest provocation. Could it be that there was trouble brewing botween her father and ber flancot Luke had certainly been un pleasantly surprised at finding Rob In Astoria. He hadn't felt full con fidence In Rob. or he would bave told him his destination, and wouldn' bava warned her to say nothing of their Intention to visit the tlsh traps. "Anne," Rob had wheeled through the door and was holding her In hla arms, "Anne dear, forgive me. I've been upset all day. Evoryth lug's gone wrong. First Yvonne colls me and tolls me you've loft town on some mysterious trip, then 1 roach the ftllce and with work piled sky high comes the call from here tell ing of trouble among the fishermen. "No trace of your fathor, and noth ing to do but jump into the car and raca down here, and you know that road. I reach here Just In time to see you try to drown yoursolt " "I know, Rob," Anne agreed gon erously, "I know because I've folt the same way, alt day long. Suppose you take me to the hotel, now. and we'll finish this tour tomorrow." At the hotel, Anne found her mother still distrait from the ex perience of the afternoon. "I lived a thousand years before that young man grasped the coble and swung out to save you" she declared. "Did Rob thank him?"

(AP) Tha con dition of the Oregon parole system was deplored here today by Gover nor Martin, who declared the whole set-up was wrong and should be revamped. The governor said he had been compelled to revoke nine paroles In the last 10 days, each case that of a paroled person who had committed a crime since his release from the j state penitentiary, and aUo that he had been advised, that other paroles, granted by circuit Judges at the time of passing sentence, had been violated. The governor set out as his pur pose "to make a thorough study of the existing parole system and pre sent some new legislation at the rpRular 1037 leelalative session. If It j were not for the capltol construction 1 progrsm," he declared, "I would have asked for this legislation at the pres ent special session." Keaton Unchanged LOS ANGELES, Oct. 38.

IMPROVE IftEiR HgftWH ANP COMftmf Arsenic and many of Its compounds because of their poison eating, and are extremely poisonous the white. flour-like oxide or arsenic la used frequently in poison murders. Me tallic arsenic Is perhaps harm 1pm, but taken Internally It becomes an oxide with poisonous results; Strange aa It seems, however, there Is a large group of peasants In the Austrian province of Styrla who habitually eat enough poisonous ar senic every day to kill ten men and not only that, this lethal substance seems to give them health and fair ness never possessed by those who do not form the habit. The men claim greater strength and hardiness the women attribute their beauty to It. The results seem almost to prove the contention for the mtjn are tall and strong, and the women are noted for their beauty. Deprived of their arsenic they soon lose their vigor and strength. Some medical authorities believe that these peasanta acquire an Im munity to the harmful effects of arsenic through an antitoxin which ts developed within them. Arsenic has Its place In medicine, and Is widely used In treatment of anemia, some forms of dyspepsia, certain sktn diseases and other diseases. Potsontng from it, however, may re sult from Its handling In the man ufacture of products containing arsenic. 8fmon Newcomb, one of America's most noted astronomers, discovered that the moon seemed to be lagging behind its scheduled course. For years he searched lunar records, delv ing Into records of the past, until, in 1883, he discovered an error that had been made In calculations In 1675. This error had tnrown off all lunar predictions for more than two centuries. Tomorrow: Dinner Table Dredges. By 0. M. PAYNE IW O" IE ry U I TAILSPIN TOMMY A Desperate Plan! Ms mothor not at home.
