# 4 Most Boys #40 This anthology issue contains multiple stories. The main feature follows Kit and Merry as they work to open dam sluices during a flood emergency, catching a girl named Merry's ankle and working together to push against the dam to prevent disaster. A separate story titled "Creature of the Deep" depicts Captain Ludlow and crew members, including Dickie Nelson and Blackie Cole, hunting a massive sperm whale that attacks their boats and retaliates against their harpoon strikes before eventually diving deep. The issue also promises to feature "The White Rider and Horse," "Texas Rangers," "The Cadet Edison Bell," and "True Life Story of the World Famous Mayor Alford J. Williams," though these stories are not fully visible in the provided pages.

In the Texas Rangers

The White Rider and Super Horse join forces with the Texas Rangers to clean up a lawless town in this fast-paced western adventure. When outlaws refuse to surrender their guns, the Rangers move in with guns blazing to restore order once and for all. It's a rip-roaring showdown that puts the Rangers' courage and determination to the test.

Major Alford J. Williams
4 pp · Non-Fiction, Biography

Major Alford J. Williams traded his baseball glove for a pilot's seat during World War I, but instead of flying combat missions, he became a pioneering aerobat—a daredevil stunt flier dedicated to unlocking the secrets of flight itself. Through fearless experimentation, from mastering flat spins to learning inverted flying by studying seabirds, Williams pushed aviation forward one dangerous maneuver at a time. His relentless pursuit of speed and safety fundamentals helped transform flying from a reckless gamble into a science that could save lives.
