TIE M STEWIOUS CAJIN As lobert lent and Timothy Tyler were crossing the Rockies in an airplane one day in August, they happened to look down and ee smole ri ing from a little mountain cabin This w s a sight they never had seen lefore in all their flights Ient and Tyler were two airmail pilots The route that they had to travel was between Denver, Colorado and San Fran cisco, California, Robert Kent was young vears.He was light complexion ed with blue eyes and blonde wavy hair, and he was six feet tall.At home he was considered as a very attractive young man. Timothy Tyler was just the opposite He had dark wavy hair dark brown eyes and he was five feet, ten inches tall He had a muscular build and his age was Just the same as that of Robert Kent On this warm summer morn ing the two pilots did not realize what was in store for them For what happened this day would probable never hap pen again in their lives Upon seeing this small hut Tim shouted out,nHey,Bob, look down there Did you ever see that beforeon Bob answered,HNo I never have but I would like to go down and investigate it Not far from the small cabin they saw a small field with only a few scattered trees. They decided to land at this place and see who or what was in the cabin. when the plane was direct- ly over the field they could see on the far edge of the field a small cub plane that had evidently tried to make a forced landing but had failed. It had struck the rocks and trees on the far side of the fieldo After Bob had landed the plane they immediately headed in the direction of the cabin After the two aviators had gone a few steps they came up on a large rock Tim, climbing up could see the cabin not very far off in the valley It was a small cabin about twelve feet square with only two windows and a battered down door A rusty piece of stove pipe protruded from the roof In the distance it p peared that the shingles on the roof were moss covered and aged In general its condition might be compared with that of on its last journey At length they came to the hut Bob knocked at the door no one answered He knocked at it again and still no answer The boys entered the cabin and were surprised to see no one there A delightful odor came to their nostrils It was the smell of food They real ized that there must be some one not very far off Presently the door opened and there stood another pilot all dressed to fly The boys knew immediately he was he pilot of the wrecked plane they had seen H welcomed the boys to dine with him and he told them his story As he told them his story they remembered that there had been a young pilot lost who was taking his trial flight out of San Francisco He said that he had been lost in woods for about two days when he came upon the cabin. This was his sixth day in the woods He said wait t that he could hardly get back to the city. That afternoon after a look around,the boys headed for San FF8HCiSC0- On arriving at the city they were informed that there had been a reward offer- by the airmail service. Tim and Bob each received one hun- dred dollars. John Joy '42 1 if V L - ., 1 J ' . C . f 1 ' - I . . Y,-3 S t I S I 1 , 0 . , . . N . . a . 3 I - If . ' Q, I , - - ?

The hills and slopes inside the fence were dotted with sheep. Stevc swore roundly and reached in his saddlebags for some pliers. No sooner was the wire cut than a horse came gal loping toward them and through the opening in the fence. Fol- lowing the horse with his eyes Steve saw a horse and rider coming toward them directly in the path of the wild horse. Jumping on his raced madly towards the other see his the girl horse he rider.

The setting is in the scrub regions of Florida. The characters are unpolished woods-people. Their language is unrefined but this does not tend to make the book dull. In NThe Yearlingn the author is trying to put before us the exact picture of the scrub land in Florida. Through Penny's and Jody's mouths she seems to bring us into direct contact with the streams, the wood, and the ways of various wild animals. The description is so vivid that one feels as if the author really wrote from personal experience. In this book the charac t rs really live and the read ers live with them When Jody is excited, tre r ader almost certain to become excited too On s thoughts are centered about Jody and Penny and they are not divided among s veral important characters It is merely a book to enter tain and not to teach I con id r this book worth while r ading scribes the habits and customs of wo d's people in Florida Eula Corliss '41 A WOMAN'S FACE This is a v ry interesting movie starring Joan Crawford and Melvyn Douglass It a out t life of a woman crook who has horrible scars on one side of h r face which were l ft from burns she r c ived when sh w s a small child at the time when the story starts.
