TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1938. he The Story So Far: The box- ‘wood hedge, surrounding Good- loe’s Choice in the Maryland hunting district, is a symbol and @ sacred boundary.

In spite of his self-made fortune, Judith ia be- wond his reach. Chapter Seven Not Sperting FUBEN started when a voice said genially: “You here, Oli-| ha ver?

The particles of dust which or- dinary air filters catch would look as big as stratosphere bal- loons. More numerous would be the particles which no filter catches, such as tobacco smoke and ragweed pollen. Particles of tobacco magnified 200,000 times, would be as large as golf balls. Rag- weed pollen grains would each be 17 feet in diameter. Any particle up to 50 feet in diameter would pass through the ordinary air filter, a screen with a mesh of 200 to the inch. The actual size of the tobacco smoke particle is thirty-nine mil- lionth of an inch. The ragweed pollen grain, which causes so much hay fever, is eight ten- thousands of an inch in diameter. smoke, New Zealand has the highest per capita foreign trade in the world.
