13 HOURS BY AIR (Continued from page 4) "Probably," shrugged Jack. "I ink he'll wait for daylight before coming back, though. That could help his aim. Our only chance is to get off in the morning before he shows up." "And if he gets here first?" insured Felice. "I'd give my left ear for a gun," as the glum reply. Suddenly he looked at the girl appraisingly and demanded: "How's your nerve?" "I think it'll get by." Her blue eyes met his brown ones steadily. "That's swell—because we're going to give it a workout. See at? He reached through theackpit door and unhooked the extinguisher which hung on the cabin wall. 'I got some of at stuff in my eyes once—couldn't see or breathe for five minutes. And it squirts yards—like a gun.'" "He'll never give you the chance use it," said Felice. "Not me, maybe. But he won't be watching you. Now if the party gets rough you hide it under your coat and I'll maneuver him into position—then let him have it. Think you can do it?" "I can try." "O.K. Now suppose you catch yourself a little nap—nothing we can do until daylight. And you, Waldo, for the love of Mike get out from under foot for once." Waldemar retaliated by kicking him on the shin. The next morning found the wounded men much stronger. The sky also seemed to be in a much healthier condition. "Any sign of Palmer?" whispered Evarts as Jack felt his pulse. "Nope. Okay with you if we leave him here?" Then to Freddy, who had started to get up but found himself too weak to do so. "Don't crowd your luck, kid. Stay quiet. I can take off all right." He entered the cockpit and switched on the starters. Instantly a pistol cracked outside and a bullet tore across the top corner of the cockpit. Felice, who was sitting beside him, barely escaped. "Hey, you! Gordon," came Palmer's voice. "I'm coming aboard and I'm heeled. I don't think you've got a gun but if you have—forget it." He ducked under the wing and moved toward the door. Jack grabbed Felice by the arm and rushed her into a seat at the front of the cabin. "Quick now!" he commanded. "Sit there!" As she slipped into the first seat he reached behind him for the fire extinguisher. It was not in its rack. The pilot looked frantically down the cabin. "Who's got that fire extinguisher?" he whispered hoarsely. There was no answer from the passengers as the cabin door slowly opened and the muzzle of an automatic was thrust through the crack. "You mean this?" Waldemar stuck his head out of the washroom and held up the fire extinguisher which he had purloined. Before Jack could grab it the cabin door flew open and Palmer leaped inside. The boy hastily shoved the extinguisher behind him. "Hello, everybody," beamed the gunman. "Wintry, isn't it." He kept them covered with his two guns. "If any of you want trouble—start it and I'll finish it. As for you, Rollo." He glared at Waldemar, who was innocently returning to his seat. "I've got some plans for you. In the meantime, keep that trap of yours shut." Palmer started walking forward toward Jack, waving the latter into the cockpit. He apparently had no fear of the cowering passengers. "Hello, beautiful," he grinned at If you buy a Hart Shaffner & Marx At Yungbluth's These suits will appeal to men accustomed to paying much more for their clothes. The fabrics have the weight, the "feel" and the character of the finest custom worsteds. They are low guns. "If any of you want trouble—start it and I'll finish it. As for you, Rollo." He glared at Waldemar, who was innocently returning to his seat. "I've got some plans for you. In the meantime, keep that trap of yours shut." Palmer started walking forward toward Jack, waving the latter into the cockpit. He apparently had no fear of the cowering passengers. "Hello, beautiful," he grinned at Felice. Then, as she ignored him he added: "Don't get on your high horse sister. Plenty of swell dames have gone for me." "Can you take off?" he demanded of Jack. "I'm not sure." The latter was playing for time. "Come in—can the funny stuff. It's hard and smooth and downhill. If you can't take off, maybe I can . . ." "You'll break your fool neck and everybody else's." "Listen—if you think you've got me over a barrel because you're the only one that can fly this plane, you're crazy — I will if I have to." "Where'd you learn?" Jack demanded after a second's hesitation. "Mexico." "All right—I'll fly you on one condition. These people go along." "Okay—I'll be a sucker but get this—you'll fly and I'll ride the co-pilot's seat and if you try any funny business—I'll fly the rest of the way myself. Now start 'em up and let's get going. As Jack started into the cockpit, Palmer's eyes suddenly lighted on the empty fire extinguisher rack. "Wait a minute!" he snarled. "Stand still! Who's got that extinguisher?" "It's in the washroom, mister," piped up Waldemar innocently. "So you were preparing to squirt me out like a bonfire," Palmer sneered at Jack. "If I didn't need you . . ." He whirled on the other passengers. "The rest of you get out of this plane and get out quickly." "You'll be arrested for this!" cried Miss Harkins dramatically as she gathered her skirts about her. "All right, sister, go call a cop—call a couple of cops." "You can't," protested Stephani. "We'll all freeze to death." "I'd as soon kill you as look at you," snarled the gunman. "What about me?" inquired Waldemar. "You said..." At Yungbluth's These suits will appeal to men accustomed to paying much more for their clothes.

Instantly kicked outside and a cross the top corner. Felice, who was Jim, barely escaped. Gordon," came Palmer. "I'm coming aboard." I don't think gun but if you have—he ducked under the door. And Felice by the arm into a seat at the cabin. "Quick now!" "Sit there!" Entered into the first seat behind him for the latter. It was not in its best looked frantically on. That fire extincher whispered hoarsely. No answer from the cabin door slowed the muzzle of an thrust through the cabin? This?" Waldemar out of the wash-up up the fire exhilarated he had purloined. He could grab it the new open and Palmer. The boy hastily extinguished behind anybody," beamed the entry, isn't it." He withdrew with his two of you want trouble I'll finish it. As for He glared at Walde-ras innocently return-at. "I've got some. In the meantime, no of yours shut." Used walking forward waving the latterapit. He apparently of the cowering pass-tiful," he grinned at fired his old standby, the water-pistol, from the hip. The jet hit Palmer squarely in the face. The effect was astound-ing. He yelled, gasped and clawed at his eyes, then fired his guns wildly. Jack got the idea at once. Waldemar had charged his pistol with extinguisher fluid. He leaped forward and crashed into his foe. Palmer went down, one of the automatics flying from his hand. Felice dived for it but the gangster, recovering somewhat, plunged forward and was in the verge of grabbing it when Waldemar tripped him neatly. "Grab that gun, quick!" shouted Jack. Stephani complied, but instead of using it, tossed the weapon through the window and sat back to enjoy the fight. By this time pandemonium reigned in the cabin. Palmer and Gordon were in a tight clinch and the former was gleefully gourging the pilot's eye and trying to tear his other gun free. "How do you like it, huh?" He gouged again and Jack groaned. Then the latter twisted loose and walloped his foe beside the jaw. The other gun crashed against the side of the cabin and fell to the floor while the two men engaged in a slugging contest. A mule-kick wallop to the chin knocked Palmer to the floor but as he fell his hand grasped the lost gun. He took quick aim just as Waldemar crept out from under a seat and let him have another jet from the water pistol. The stuff would have choked an elephant, but Palmer merely staggered back, dropping the gun once more. And once more Stephani reached for the weapon. This time, however, Ann's high-heeled slipper pinioned his fingers to the floor. Bostick Enters Senatorial Race Bryan Bostick, Anaheim citrus grower and real estate dealer, today announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the State Senator for Orange county. Born and educated in Kentucky, Bostick came to Southern California fourteen years ago as executive representative of the International Shoe company with which he was connected in various capacities for 15 years. For the past several years, Bostick and his family have resided on their orange grove between Anaheim and Santa Ana. During the last two years he has been engaged in the real estate business. Although a lifelong Democrat, Bostick never before has sought public office. He is a member of Orange County Farm Bureau, a World War veteran, and an active worker in civic and political affairs. Bostick's friends declare that he is especially well qualified for the office due to his broad understanding of the problems of the merchant and rancher, and to the fact that he has long been a close student of government, and that he holds the opinion that the same economies and business management essential in private business Bryan Bostick who has anounced his candidacy for Democratic nomination. are practical in government. It was due to the urgency of his many friends that Bostick decided to become a candidate.

This time, however Ann’s high-heeled slipper pinioned his fingers to the floor while she picked up the automatic and crept forward to inflict the deciding blow.Palmer, again recovering from the fluid, was fighting like a madman. He had Jack jammed against the cockpit wall and was pounding him into a pulp. But his attention kept being diverted by Waldmar, who was dodging in and out, trying for another shot.The pilot managed to pinion his opponent’s arms for a second.Yelling with delight Waldmar leaped in, jammed his pistol under Palmer’s very nose and pulled the trigger.The gangster couldn’t take it this time. Choking, sobbing and gasping for breath, he clawed at his eyes while Jack deliberately measured him and swung a hay-maker from the floor.His enemy’s head snapped back and he went down for the count.Waldmar,” wailed Miss Harkins.“I knew you’d hurt someone with . . .”He’s moving,” screamed the boy as his fallen foe stirred dazedly.“Somebody kick him quick.”He’s out, Waldo,”Jack laughed shakily.“Thanks to you.”Boy,did we fix him ’n boy,did you sock him,”chortled the child.“This trip is more darn fun,’groaned the pilot.“Tie him up,somebody.”Then he turned to Felice.“Come on. We’ve got to hurry.”Just a minute,” interrupted Stephani,making his last bid.“I . . . Listen, you. One more move and you'll be going places with him.”Jack jerked one swollen hand toward Palmer,“for attempting to delay the U.S. mail, assaulting a carrier of the mail, attempted bribery of a post office employee, carrying firearms without a permit and . . . is that enough?” "Just a minute," interrupted Stephani, making his last bid. "I..." "Listen, you. One more move and you'll be going places with him." Jack jerked one swollen hand toward Palmer, "for attempting to delay the U.S. mail, assaulting a carrier of the mail, attempted bribery of a post office employee, carrying firearms without a permit and . . . is that enough?" "Yes," answered Stephani, subsiding meekly. "All right now," he continued to Felice when they were both in the cockpit. "My hands are both shot. You might as well learn to fly now as later. Do just what I tell you." "But ..." "Shut up," he barked. Felice started to flare up at his tone, then grinned happily. She adored it. An hour later they were soaring out of the mountains. "Nice flying," chuckled Jack. "You're getting the hang of it fine." "Thanks—I love it." She manipulated the stick gingerly. "It's going to be wonderful ... you having dinner with me tonight. And now." He reached painfully into his pocket and brought out Felice's ring. "Could I interest you in a large and handsome ring and a large and battered pilot—because I'd like to return both of them to their owner." "But I only own one of them," she answered, banking the ship like a veteran. "That's what you think," he grinned as he steadied her hand on the wheel. THE END IN RACE Capt. E. E. Fearn Returns From East Capt. Elmer Ellsworth Fearn, returned Saturday from attending Signal Corps school at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Entrance to this school of Officers of the Organized Reserve and National Guard this year was by competitive examination. Nineteen officers from all parts of the United States attended. The work at this school dealt with all phases of communication now employed in the Army. The force of instructors were from the various branches of the Army and were execeptionally qualified officers of the Regular Army. Col. Cowan the Commandant remarked at the graduation exercises that the class of 1936 had accomplished more than any previous class. Capt. Fearn spent several days in the Service department of Atwater Kent Factory in Philadelphia. He also visited friends and relatives in Penna., Nebra., and Kansas. Crops appeared to be in good condition along the route followed by Capt. Fearn, and the rainfall was more than ample so far. Nominations Are Opened For CC Directors Balloting opened today for the selection of six directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. Wednesday, June 24, at 5 o'clock has been set as the date for the conclusion of the voting. Twelve members of the chamber were nominated during the primary balloting which closed the early part of the week. They are Ernest A. DuBois, Herbert Eldred, August Eltiste, George Henry, Les Herron, Dr. H. A. Johnson, E. M. Keath, H. T. Leo, Lotus H. Loudon, H. B. Pearson, O. H. Renner, A. C. Riutcel, K. B. Rigby and Frank Tausch, who for the past year has served as president of the board. All directors whose terms expire this year were nominated for reelection. They are Dr. Johnson, Tausch, Riutcel, Loudon, Keath and Renner. Voting will be done by mail, it was said.
