Determined to get closer to nature, she takes her two companions Vest in a second hand car, but not before Lizzie has wired Tish's young nephew, Charlie Sands telling him of his Aunt's latest idea and advising him as to their destination. Charlie, after flying West, stops at a hotel near the Mexican border. Lizzie and Aggie come limping into the hotel shortly after Charlie's arrival. Where is Tish? When her car broke down, she was determined to repair it when it suddenly started off with her unexpectedly, leaving Aggie and Lizzie alone on the roadside. Tish arrives, after driving through a glass window belonging to Luther Hopkins, across the road. He makes a storming entrance and demands damages, but Tish refuses to pay his anything. When the hotel safe is robbed, Tish is sure that she knows where the stolen money is hidden and drags Aggie out with her to start the search. The result of the searchtis that Tish takes Aggie up in the air of a plane, drops Aggie off on the roof of a barn and then soars upward again. The following day the news paper headlines proclaim that a lone spy has been sighted flying over Mexico and Tish becomes the center of international complicae tions. The grand final comes when Tish captures the bandit and E1len's hotel is saved. !

Throughout our history, the rights granted to us under the Constitution have halped keep our nation urified and demo- cratic. During the early weakness of our nation, the attrac- tiveness of these rights gained the supfort of the people to- ward the strengthening of the Union. Our nation was again in a weak condition when the question of slavery caused a split in the Union and a Civil War between the North and the South. The men who fought to preserve the Union did so be- cause they had a strong patriotic belief in a Union which gave them equal rights.
