THouctrrt SONS OF GO:—Behold, lhat man- , ner of love the Father hath bestowed up- , on us. that we should be called the sons of God.—l John 3sl. BUDDING IN THE SQVTH. Tlie greatest building year that the , (titles of the South have ever known is , forecast in the preliminary totals for tits 1 first half of the year issued by the survey department of G. L. Miller and Company, southern real estate mortgage bond house. ] of Atlanta. The twenty-five leading Cities of the u sixteen southern states, omitting Balti more, which is usually included in the , list, amassed a total of $260,883,179 for, 1 the first half of the year, whkh exceeds the same period for 1924 by almost | eighty-fiye million, or 46.9 per cent, r These same cities during the month of June, reached a new high figure of $54,-1 348.769, an increase of 101.8 tier cent I over June, 1924. If the remaining cities of the section maintain the Same proportionate gains as the leaders, the total for the half year for the states at large will be over $350,000,- 000. which indicates that the larger cit ies of the South will approach the three quarter billion mark before the end of the year. The gains arc spotted all over the en tire section. The leading cities of Mis souri vie with the amazing centers of Florida in piling up leads over last year, while Nashville, Louisville. Tulsa and Birmingham all have had unusual con struction records for the yeat. During June, the Florida cities made their greatest strides. Miami was well on towards seven millilons, Palm Beach al most reached four millions while West Palm Beach, across the lake, was over two millions. St. Petersburg. Tampa, and Lakeland exceeded a million, while Jacksonville was not far away. The most interesting feature of these totals is that they are not accounted for by a few very large buildings, with the single exception of Palm Beach, but are made up of a large number of varied structures, in which residences and business houses are very numerous. Only five ctiies out of the twenty-four leaders showed losses for the first half year, and these were relatively small, due in large measure to unusually high totals which had been recorded during 1924. ROT A RIANS KEEP THE LAW. The international convention of Ro tary clubs met this year in Cleveland, and the bootleggers, always anxious for an opening and going on the assumption that delegates at conventions always are a lit tle careless about observing the prohibi tion law, got in a big **ock el liquors. According to a little Editorial, sent out by the N. E. A., which furnishes u* with cartoons, pictures and other live news matter, the bootleggers in Cleveland were disapppoiuted with the Rotarians. for these earnest-minded men kept the law and passed up the wares offered by the ’leggers. One of the little Editorials savi • , i .■ ’ ", *’ •; : v * lag for a rushing business But they were sorely disappointed. ‘‘Most conventions mein heavy profits for .the bootleggers. They have learn ed that, when a lot of men forego-her in a strange city, they usually call loudly for drinks. “But Rotary it" was different. Sales absolutely Were normal. Hardly a single delegate bought a drink. “ ‘These guys mw.t take their ideals seriously,” complained one of the boot leggers. “That’s just it. They do. That’s why the name Rotary is honored through out the country.” STILL AFTER HAYNES. Roy A. Haynes threatens again to quit his post as prohibition commissioner. He says he may run for Governor of Ohio and of necessity would have to resign his federal post. Washington hears, however, that Commissioner Blair and Secretary Mellon are making life so un pleasant for him that he wants to step out. The latest contest between the officials came on July first when a woman ap pointed some yeaps ago by Mr. Haynes was asked to ropfgn. She hsd been draw ing a salary qf $2500-8 year, with travel ing expenses!' to go about the country making prohibition speeches. The Com missioner of Revenue and the Secretary of the TVeasury argued there was no law to cover her case, while. Commissioner Haynes contended her job was all right. She was made ,to resign, however, and the Prohibition Director is up in arms. Commissioner Haynes is one of the few Ohio men left in office. He was placed there by the late President Harding and has never been popular. If he quits it will be because of pressure rather than because of any desire to run for Governor of Oliio. t . «... v, . New Method Tried by-PoHre Chief to Catch Auto Bandits. Xehr Orleans, July B.—Payroll bandits and other hold-up men who use automo biles to eseape after downtown robberies are finding if harder to get atva.v due to a system installed by Thomas Healy, new ehief of police. Cnder the rule when a policeman discovers lawbreakers escaping in t a machine he blows a long blast and four short onfs oh his whistle and nearby traffic officers stop all ve hicles until further notice. Payroll robberies have been common here this summer, averaging almost one a week and it was because of these crimes aud the recent robbery of a jew eler's messenger of $30,000 in gems as he came out of a downtown bank vault that the experiment was tried.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE - - ' -•-- - --- - - - - fuMMod by arrangement with First National Pictures, la*, and Wattoroon It Roth acker. CHAPTER XV (Continued) 1 had one atrange experience as 1 euae from this second visit which ted Involve* my being away for a eight tmm my companions. 1 was returning along the well-remember ed route, and had reached a spot within a mile or so of the marsh of the pterodactyls, when I saw an ex traordinary object approaching me. It was s triad who walked inside a framework atade of heat canes so that m was enclosed on all sides in a bell-shaped cage. As l"drew nearer I wag more amazed still to see that It tins Lord John Roxton. When he saw me he slipped from under Ms carious protection and came towards me laughing, and yat, as I thought, with soma confusion in his manner. "Well, young fellah,” said he, “who would have thomfft of moot in' you up here!” “What In the world are you do ing?” I asked. “Visitin' my friends, the ptero dactyls,” said he. “But why?" “Interestin’ beasts, don't yon think? But unsociable! Nasty rude ways with strangers, ss you may remem ber. So I rigged this framework which keeps them from bein’ too pressln’ In, their attentions.” “But what do you want in the swamp?” He looktd at me with a very questioning eye, and I read hesita tion in hia face. “Don't you think other people be tides Professors can want to know things?” he said at last. “I’m atndyin’ the pretty dears. That’* enough for-you.” *' "No offense,” said L His good-humor returned and he laughed, ... “No offense, young teßah. rm goin’ to get a young devil chick lor Challenger. That’s oge of my Jobs. No, 1 don’t want your com pany. I’m safe In this cage, an* yon are not. So long, and I’ll be back in capsp by night-fall.” He turud away and I left him wand*rtMs|on through the wood with MX cage around •K Lot* John’s behavior at this time WfJKßVange, that of chal lenger wait more so. 7 may say that he seined to possess an e* traonftnatjrfasclnntlon for the In ti lan women, and that he always carried a large spreading palm branch with which he beat them off as If they were flies, when their attentions became too pressing. To see him * walking like a comic opera Sultan, pfith this badge of au thority in hlg hand, hid black beard trlstling in front of him. his toes pointing at dach step, and a train of wide-eyed Indian girls behind r r him, clad in their Meador drapery •f bark cloth.

As to Summerlee, ha was absorbed in thf insect and bird life of tho plateau, and spent his whole time (sov* that considerable portion which was devoted to abasing Challenger for not getting an oat of oar dlflt cattles) In cleaning and mounting Ms specimens. Challenger had boon la the habit of walklag Off by himself every morning and returning front time to time with looke of portentoa* solemnity, as amo who hoars tbg fall weight of a groat enterprise ■non Ms shoulders.

In halt an hear a geod-elsed gas-bag had been formed, and, the Jerking and straining upon the thongs showed that It was capable eC oom slderable lift. Challenger, like a glad father la the presence of Iris flrst-born, stood smiling and strok ing his beard, la silent, self-satis fied content as he gated at the cre ation ot his brain. It was Snsunar- Its who first broks tbs sllsnoo. “Tou don’t mesa ns to go np.tg that thing, Challenger T” said hs, in an sold voice. "I mean, my dear Sammerlee, to give yon such n demoastratlan of Its powers that after eeslng It yon will, I am sure, have no hesi tation in trusting yourself to It.” “Ton can put It right oat ot year bend now, St once," said Summar ies with decision, “nothing on earth would induce me to oeausfc such a folly. Lord John. I trust that you will not countenance each madness T” "Dooctd Ingenious, I can It,” said enr peer. “I’d like to see how It works.” "So yon shall, 1 * said Challenger. “For some days I have exerted my whole brain force upon the problem of how we shall descend from these cliffs. We have satis tied ourselves that we cannot climb down and that there Is no tnnneLl We are also nnable to construct] any kind of bridge which may take! ns back to the pinnacle from whiehl we came. How then shall I find a' means to convey ns? Some little time ago I had remarked to oar. young friend here that free hydro gen was evolved from the geyser. The idea of a balloon naturally followed. I was, I will admit, somewhat baffled by the difficulty ot discovering an envelope to con tain the gas, but the contemplation of the immense entrails ot those reptiles supplied me with a eola tion to the problem. Behold the re sult!” * He put one hand In the front otj his ragged Jacket and pointed rroudly with the other. | By this time the gas-bag had! swollen to a goodly rotundity andl was jerking strongly upon Its lash-' tngs. “Midsummer madness!" saerted f.ummerlee. Lord John was delighted with the whole idea. "Clever old dear,' ain’t he?” he whispered to me, and] then louder to Challenger. “What' about a car?” “The car will be my next care, ti have already planned how it la to be made and attached. Meanwhile 1 will simply show you how oepeble my apparatus Is of supporting thn' weight ot each of ua.” “All of ns, surely?" “No. It In part ot my plan that each in tarn shall desoend as In a) parachute, and the balloon he drawn back by means which I shall have no difficulty In perfecting, if It will eupport the weight of one : and let him gently down.
