MORSE'S MASTERPIECE Anne lifted the glasses and lev- eled them at the great triangular| basin between two solid wedges of mouritain rock, which a third slowly wlm wall of cement and stone was making into a giant reservoir. Over the basin, some quarter of a mile away, hung a complicated nétwotk of scaffolding, on which inbutherable mannikins clung—| clung and worked. Up and down! the thountainside, crawled innum- | erable others, a ceaseless, harried ant-column, carting up material, | phssing it to the insects on the staffolding, then hurrying away for more. “The people around here, the na- | tives, you know,” Douglas ex- plained, “are dead against the res-| filr project. They have their 1ittle private ditches which the | big reservoir will drain off. They will be forced to pay for water| rights which they had before for| rothihg, and naturally they're fight-| ing the thing tooth and nail.

The man in front turned was just making a little joke “I almost think I should like it,” Anne went on thoughtfully, “the {hut in the mountains, T mean.” “Doubtless—for 24 hours!” Doug- las remarked sagely, as he'quick- |ened up his pace a little and swung arcund the next bend in the trail |a half-dozen feet ahead of the others. “No—" Morse said reflectively, | ter I want to attend to on the way | | “Oh, Ii " he| explained. | his eyes on Anne, “a hut in the mountains is most emphatically not the proper frame for you For come wcmen it might be all right —that or a ranch house on the plains—even a tenement on the Kast side; these are the settings| |best fitted to bring out their par- ticular quality. But for you—" She looked up curiously. “For me what kind of frame?” “For you—a frame worthy of the subject, a frame of gold, a back- ground of great rooms and spacious luxury, har- mony. That is the only background suited to you—" “Hmm-m, a lady Anne murmured whimsically, “I don't belleve I should like it.

AVIATION HAS GIANT GROWTH IN PAST YEAR Epochal Chapter Is Made in History of Air In- dustry, Reports Prove a, WASHINGTON, Jan. — An cpochal chapter in the history of aviation, equaled but few times in industry, was written in 1929, | .Millions of dollars applied to the nourishment of the lusty infant doubled its size and fashioned a than to tamper with. commercial giant that grew so fast Significant to rapid transporta- tion, backbone of the industry, was the establishment of mnseontln- to-coast travel time to 48 hours.

Coincident with the expansion of | passenger lines came a sudden in-| crease in the number of persons traveling by air. | Designated Airways Designated airways increased | from 16,667 to 35,000 miles; air mail poundage jumped from 4,063,173 pounds to an estimated total of 8,000,000 pounds; and miles tlawn! in operations over the airways| mounted from 10,000,000 to nearly | 16,000,000 miles. l and Manufacturing of aireraft engines underwent double expar sion, production in the first s r exceeding that of 1928. The value of aeronautical products exported in the first quarter equalled that of the pro- ducts sent abroad by the industry months of the during all of the previous year. | The year saw three consolida- tions of aviation manufacturing and transportation companies which, with a previous merger, brought 75 per cent of the indus-! try’'s manufacturing and transpor-/ Transport, Aviation, Aviation corporations.
