CHAPTER XLVIII
Impulsively Jo put her hands
Wlait Todd Barston's cheeks,
stood oa tiptoe and kissed him.
Then she hurried to her room tu
obey his orders. The aviator, hie
mouth half open, watched her go.
Ho turned suddenly to Peyton
behind the desk1 “Don’t stand
there grinning! Call the Crest
mont airport!" Baraton started for
his own room, flinging further In
structions over his shoulder. “We'll
have to borrow the Inn's car.”
Five minutes inter, her heart
singing, Jo Darien was in the car
beside Todd Barston. They hurtled
toward the airport at such reckless
speed that conversation was al
most Impossible. But Jo did man
age one question while she held
with both hands to the door.
“D-do you think we’ll And
him 7“
Eyes straight ahead, Barston
hunched his shoulders. “If wo
catch him at the yacht club we’re
lucky. But if he’s already sailed.
...” His ensuing silence was dia
coursglngly expressive.
Boon they were in sight of the
air Held. Barston’s plane had
been wheeled from the hangar. It
was tiny, snub-nosed, almost like
a child’s toy. Jo remembered that
this was Barston’s special ship, de
signed by him to create a new
speed record as an advertising
stunt for a public utilities com
pany. Although he did not need
its speed for ordinary flying he
had kept the plane for his private
use.
As they walked across the field,
Barston said, “This Job has plenty
of what It takes to get there, Jo.
I’m going to give her whatever
you can stand. If the speed gets
too much for you just signal and
I’ll throttle down.”
Jo nodded. “I hope I can take
it, Todd.”
In another moment she was In
the cockpit, seated so low that her
head was about even with the
edge. Ahead she coudl glimpse the
helmet of the taller Barston, and
without a reassuring lance he be
gan taxiing across the field. Sud
denly the plane plunged into the
air so swiftly that Jo’s head shot
back against the cushion. She had
never dreamed of such breathless
speed. It was almost as if the law
of gravity had been reversed and
the plane was diving Instead of
climbing. They had hardly cleared
the tops of the trees when Barston
leveled out, Increasing his speed.
JoB heart was pounding fiercely,
and despite the cowling she
seemed to have difficulty breath
ing. Was she imagining this, or
was she really going to be unable
to stand the' terrific speed of this
snub-nosed ship? In sudden panic
she wonderde how she might sig
nal Barston. as he had suggested.
Certainly she couldn’t make her
self heard above the wind and the
unbelievable roar of the motor.
And, peering through her goggles
about the cockpit, she saw no
speaking tube or other device by
which she could get his attention.
Then, raising her head, she saw
Barston turning to see how she
w.is getting along. He nodded his
head questioningty—and Jo, tak
ing heart, smiled and nodded in
return.
The snub-nosed plane plunged
on. . . .
It seemed to Jo that they had
been in the air not more than a
couple of hours when Barston
throttled down, began circling as
if to land. For a moment sho
thought something must have gone
wrong, but when she peered over
the cockpit she was astonished to
see the city spread out before her.
Barston's landing was swift and
perfect. Jo hardly realized the
plane had stopped before she saw
him standing on the ground with
his arms outstretched to help her
down.
“I’ll telephone the yacht club,”
he told her. ‘‘There may not be a
moment to lose.”
Still breathless, Jo ran after him
into the long, low building. Nerv
ously she smoked a cigaret while
Barston disappeared into one of
the booths to telephone. It seemed
to her that he would never
emerge—but when at last he faced
her she knew before he spoke that
they were too late.
, “He—he's gone, Todd?”
Barston nodded quickly. "The
yacht sailed last night.”
Wordless, Jo sank on one of the
benches. She pulled her helmet
from her tousled golden head, and

when she raised her eyes again
Todd saw that they were wet. He
spun suddenly on his heel and
rushed to the dispatch desk of the
airport station. In a few minutes
he returned, smiling grimly.
'•How badly do you want Doug
Marsh?" he asked.
Jo met his slow gaxc solemnly.
■•I—I’d as soon be dead as without
him. Todd.”
"Well, Jo, If that’s how you feel,
we'll try it.”
“What do you mean?” she
asked, rising from the bench.
"We're getting into an amphi
bian plane equipped with radio
telephone. The weather’s not so
good off the coast, but—are you
game?”
"You mean—you mean we're
going to find the yacht?”
"I hope so, Jo,” Todd said seri
ously. "But look here, this is no
child's play, you know.”
Jo nodded quietly. "Let’s go...”
Not 10 minutes later they were
over the city again, heading out
toward the coast. Jo sat beside
Barston in the cabin of the big
plane, watched his intent, sure
hands. He had said the weather
was bad oft the coast, but thus
far they were flying against a
blinding afternoon sun and the air
was clear as crystal.
Soon they were over a sheet of
glass which was the ocean.’ *It re
flected back the blinding sun, and
In all that expanse Jo saw not one
dot which might be a ship.
She leaned toward Barston's ear.
"Do you have any idea at all what
course to take?”
He nodded, spoke loudly over
the roar of the motors. "I'm get
ting out as far as I think he could
have gone since last night. Then
we’ll try the radio telephone.” He
pointed through the windshield of
the cabin. "Fog coming.”
In a moment they were in it,
thick and heavy, a seemingly im
penetrable mass. Jo grew afraid,
and she hardly knew why. The
sun went weak, then seemed to
leave them altogether—leave them
suspended in a huge gray cloud
that had no beginning and no end.
After what to Jo seemed hours
of flying, Barston clamped head
phones to his pelmet, began speak
ing into the transmitter. She read
his lips rather than heard him
saying, over and over again: "Bar
ston . . . calling Yacht Juno.”
Over and over he gave his position
and called Marsh’s yacht. But
nothing happened—nothing except
the fog and drone of the motors—
until Jo sank back against the seat
in weary disappointment.
Suddenly Barston sat more
erect, throttling down the ship and
motioning excitedly to Jo. He
called again, then listened, his face
breaking into a happy grin. "Stand
by,” he yelled into the mouth
piece. “I'm landing, Juno. Stand
by to receive valuable cargo!”
Jo felt the big piano circling
cautiously, and within a few mo
ments she w-as startled to see the
lights of a ship in the fog.
"Send out your tender,”' Barston
called again. Then, quite suddenly,
the motors stopped, and Jo felt

Formal Clothes For Fall
Will Forego Frills
JEAN PATOU DESCRIBES FABRICS AND THREE
NEW COLORS FEATURED IN HIS COLLECTION
By JEAN PATOU
, (Written Itor NBA Service) ' ,
PARIS.—A characteristic of all my formal
I clothes, whether destined for the tall or
short woman, is their sheer femininity, ab
solutely devoid, however, of any hint of
fussiness. Frills and furbelows are all well
and good in summertime, when a simple
scarf or a wisp of a cape affords sufficient
protection. But they are decidedly not prac
tical in a cooler season, when anyhow they
are hidden under a coat.
Aa usual I have selected three colors this sea
son for the basis of my collection. One of them, a
pink which I call “Asalea,” is being set aside sole
ly for evening wear. The two others are a blue
mauve, called "Iris,” suitable for both day and
evening, and "Bronse,” a dark shade suitable for
day wear but giving very satisfactory results In
certain fabrics for evening wear.
Uses Simple Trimmings
Outside of these three basic colors I have used
a great deal of black, some browns and the entire
scale of violets.
Trimmings are simple, the decorative eHect in
many cases being achieved by the working of the
fabric, the Introduction of contrasting colors, or
embroidery.
Furs include every kind of pelt with a leaning
toward the short-haired pelts such as golden Alas
ka seal and brown astrakhan. I have had foxes
dyed in a new "sable” finish which contribute a
new note to the formal type of ensemble.
Fabrics are made sumptuous either by their
coloring or texture. Heavy satins, high-surfaced
artificial silks, dres, a good deal of heavy maro
cain, brocades and lames figure In afternoon and
evening models. Also, naturally, a good deal of
velvet, including real and artificial silk velvets in
both the plain and changeable varieties and a new
metal-powdered velvet which fashions a number
of attractive afternoon dresses.
Day Clothes Are Slenderising
My daytime silhouette shows little change, save
that skirts are slightly longer. The waistline la
normal, shoulders too, making the hips look cor
respondingly narrower by comparison^
The vogue of the tailored suit is still 'sufficient
ly strong to be featured extensively in my daytime
clothes. The skirt and Jacket, completed by a
blouse, alternates with the dress and jacket type,
making the latter wearable until quite late in the
fall.
The long coat-and-dress ensemble is also a fea-'
ture of my new collection. Many of the day coats
are fur trimmed.

the pontoons strike the water
hard. She had to hold tight to the
seat to keep from being pitched
against Barston with the roll of
the sea.
“They're sending out a power
tender,” Barston said, peering
through' the fog-misted glass of
the cabin. His voice was queer.
It was tired and husky.
“Will you be able to get into the
git again all right?” Jo asked.
He did not turn from the win
dow. “Sure . . . sure, I’ll make
it. One nice thing about fog. It
makes for a fair take-ofl in one
of these things. If there was wind
now—’* He turned suddenly to Jo,
took off his helmet and goggles.
“Listen, Jo—I've delivered you to
Doug Marsh. But if ever you
want to come back—’’
Jo nodded quickly. “I ... 1
didn't think there were any men
as line as you are, Todd."
He grinned at her. “Sure. Too
bad you aren’t in love with me.
But—that’s not the way the thing
works, I guess.” He stopped,
peered out the glass again. “The
tender’s coming alongside. Take
off your shoes and stockings, Jo.
That wing will be piety slippery
—and this has got to be quick or
they might damage the plane.
Ready?"
Jo nodded, holding to his arm
while he opened the cabin door,
almost lifted her to the wing. They
heard someone in the tender
shouting. “The owner sends his
compliments, sir, and wants to
know if there’s anything you
need.”
“Not a thing,” Barston said.
“Just tell the owner to take
darned good care of—of this pass
enger.”
Douglas Marsh was peering over
the side of the Juno when Jo
came up the ladder. “Good Lord!
jo—Jo!” He took her in his arms,
squeezing her so hard that her
drenched jacket dripped water on
the deck. “Jo, darling. I’d have
been out there myself to get you—
but I thought it was one of Bar
ston’s elaborate jokes.”
For answer, Marsh turned to the
man at the rail. “Ben, find some
dry clothes for Miss Darien. Tell
the captain to keep the ship to
her course. And tell him to be
ready to perform a marriage cere
mony—to-night!”
Through the fog came the roar
of Barston’s plane, the sound of
pontoons struggling against the
clutching waves. Then the drone
grew steady and unfettered, sound
ed directly above them.
Marsh drew Jo into his arms
again. “I thought I’d lost you, Jo
... I was escaping to try to for
get you.”
“Well,” Jo warned l»im happily,
“don’t you dare try to forget me
tr<ftn now on!”

Provide for Worst — If You Plan for All Outstanding
Trump in One Hand, You May Be Able to
Finesse Through It.
'When you are playing a contract, i
do you first take into consideration
what might happen if all the out
standing trumps were in one hand,
and do you provide for that kind
of a break? Well, you should.
Do not just play by some set
rule. Study the hands from all
rule. Study the hands from all
angles and you will get more fun
out of the game.
You may not analyze them all
correctly, but supposing you do
not, you at least will know where
you have failed in your anfalyza

Here's a hand that was played
recently in a rubbr game at the
Algonquin Club, one of New
York’s swankiest bridge clubs.
The Play
Against six spades, West opened
the queen of clubs which was
won with dummy's singleton
king. Now you can eee that the
hand is off the ace of diamonds.
You might reason that the king
of diamonds can be discarded on
the long heart, but then what
would you do with the two losing
clubs? West has bid clubs and
with you and your partner hold
ing the ace and king, he probably
has a six-card suit.
Therefore you are not going to
be able to ruff the clubs until
you pick up all the trump. The
careless player would eay he
would just take a couple rounds

of trump, but on the first lead of
trump he would find West void.
Now that Is just the point I am
trying to bring out. You should
provide against four trumps be
ing In one hand. If West holds
the four trumps, you can see, re
gardless of how you play the
hand, you will have to lose a
trump trick.
The bidding rather indicates
that West is short of spades.
Therefore, you must say to your
self, If East holds the four
trumps can I pick them all up?
Yes, you can, but you have to
be careful how you play the trump
suit. You must not follow the
usual procedure and lead trump
from the hand containing the
two high honors.
You have to lead the queen of
spades first and then, when West
shows out, you* will be able to
finesse East out of his trump
trick.

tract at three no trump. West
bid spades, so East opens the
ten of spades. North imme
diately tries to set up the dia
mond suit. East wins and re

Yourself
The air-minded woman who
takes her vacation or business trips
in the quickest possible manner has
entirely different beauty problems
than one who travels by train or
automobile. In the Amt place,-she
doesn’t have to remove dust and
smoke from her skin every hour or
two. Secondly, she arrives at her
destination so quickly that, except
for lipstick, the original coat of
cosmetics generally sees her
through the trip.
Need Small Case
However, especially for those
who take cross-country treks,
spending nights on sleeper planes
(and you can sleep), there are a
few things to remember. The
most important, in addition to
regular luggage. Is a very small
overnight case than will hold
sleeping things, clean stockings
and makeup. This need be no
more than a few inches square,
but it is important. If you go
without it, you’ll be annoyed
when you have to open a bag to
get out what you need, and again
when you alight carrying a paste

ess provides for inexperienced
travelers.
You can’t have your luggage
near you and you can’t get Into
a bag except during the time the
plane stops to let you transfer to
a sleeper plane. For these rea
sons, pocketbook cosmetics are
even more important than they
are ordinarily.
\, Skyway Cleanliness
You’ll discover that a coast-to
coast airplane trip la one time
when cleansing cream is an abso
lute necessity. The diminutive
dressing room is equipped with
soap, water and towels, but the
water is cold and there ia little
elbow space. Furthermore, since
there to only one such room in
each plane, your good manners
will keep you from occupying it
for the length of time it takes to
clean, cream and beautify face
and throat. Brush your teeth and
wash your hands. Then go back
to cleanse your face in your own

BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.
POOR MAN’S INSULIN »
Insulin is a patent medicine. The
discoverers assigned ownership and
control on insulin o a university
for use of the proceeds from its
manufacture and sale for medical
research.
Formerly it was unethical for a
physician to patent a remedy. But
today the medical profession sanc
tions the patenting of a remedy if
the greater1 portion of the profits
from the monopoly is employed to,
endow research.
Getting down to brass racks, it
takes some sophistry to defend the
present attitude of medicine toward
such patenting of medicine. The
essence of the etpics Involved is the
question whether it is fust and
right to compel victims of diabetes
to support medical research. If all
sufferers from diabetes were well
to-do it would not seem so unfair
to compel them to contribute freely
to medical research as well as pay
for treatment. But a great many
diabetic patients have to struggle
with poverty and want, and it is a
monstrous shame to exact a contri
bution for medical research from
such sufferers. If organised medi
cine In this country should amend
its position on this matter, the price :
of Insulin would be reduced at orioe
to a consistent amount which
would bring the boon within reach
of thousands who at present simply
cannot afford it.
Practically none of the popular
nostrums known as "patent medi
cines” is patented. Only the fancy
name applied to such proprietary
remedies is registered so that no
one else can sell a product bear
ing the same name, but any one
may make, use or sell the same
product under another name, if he
wishes.
Unless a duodenum extract re
cently introduced in experimental
work proves as effective as insulin,
we have nothing to take the place
of insulin in therapeutics.
What I venture to call "poor
man’s insulin” is vitamin B.
Numerous investigators -have
found in actual practice that an
optimal ration of vitamin B re
places from 10 to 35 units of insu
lin daily.
By "optimal ration of vitamin B"
we mean much more vitamin Bi
than we think necessary to main
tain health in a normal individual.
How. much, nobody knows. But
there is no reason to suspect that
anybody can get too much vitamin
B in any circumstance.
I have told here repeatedly the
best sources of vitamin B. (Details
in booklet "Building Vitality”,
copy of which will be sent on re
quest, if you inclose ten cents coin
and stamped envelope bearing your
address.) Now it must suffice to
mention a few good sources: Plain
white, wheat germ, wheat bran,
peanuts, tomato or tomato juice
(raw or factory canned).
"In general," says one authority
(Sherman), there need be no prac
tical danger of shortage of vitamin
B except where an unduly large
proportion At the calories needed
in nutrition am taken in tlia Cant
of artificially refined food*."
By that Muse, a large majority
of people must suffer rrOm a short* ,

Bg MART FENTRESS
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Paris—Madame LemOnler, own
er of the hat shop which bears her
name, is dedicating a hat to youth
which will take 10 years from a
woman's age. The hat is net yet
ready for display, but Madame to
monler hints that it will take the
form of a toque in some soft, flat
tering material.
In her present collection she
shows chiefly velvets, richly color
ed feather*, glossy felts and fine
short furs, all with emphasis on a
slightly forward tilt She uses
many hand-worked materials with
lots of stitching, quilting and even
bedding. There is little trimming
on her hats, but occasionally she
uses a rich ornament or a slender
quill. A new feature Is noted in
the combination of felt and leath
er, the latter shaped out to follow
the hat design.
Burgundy red is one of Le Mo
nier’s favorite colors, and this
shade promises to .be prominent in
ail fields of fall apparel. She com
bines it with hyacinth blue to
make an Interesting contrast and
shows a new bluish purple which
promises to be equally popular.
The feather toques are dyed innu
merable Interesting shades, and a
few, whidh place emphasis on a
side movement, may be forerunners
of a new hat style.
For street wear, she shows small
black hats, some of antelope, trim
med with veils, Leather may be an
important material for fall and
winter, for Madame LeMbnler as
well as Aage Thaarup show nu
merous models fashioned Of leath
er.
