The Middle Of The Road A great mumber of Americans have been encouraged to believe that it is possible to grow richer by working less and by producing less; that it is the proper business of a government to subsidize large num- bers of its people; that there is an inexhaustible supply of money which can be' used endlessly for this purpose; that those who advise greater caution in the expenditure of public funds, or who urge a re laxation of restraints which need­ lessly handicap private enterpiise, are merely1 ducal overlords’ who rtand in the way of all progress. Tbe dangers involved in - such a course as this are an eventual bank­ ruptcy of the National Government and encouragement of class prejud ice which ought to have no place in the Uuited Status. The last election indicates the American people are moving to­ ward the middle of the road. The people want social reform, where it is necessary. They want adequate provision made for the needy and the elderty. But at th same time thry want to keep our institutions, and our democratic heritage, inviolate. Disrrgardirg all political partisanship that’s the best news in a long while. 20 Juicy Plums For Democrats. Before he retires from office in January Attorney General Cum­ mings will recommend to President Roosevelt appointments of more than a score of federal judges. The Iaet Congress passed an om­ nibus judicial bill creating 14- new federal judgships and there are eight vacancies to be filled on ac­ count of the death of the incum- . bents. Roosevelt was afraid to fill all these positions belore the election for tear that he would -lose votes but as it turned out he lost pres­ tige anyway. It is presumed that he will name New Dealers to these judicial posi­ tions, men that will construe, the law as Roosevelt sees it. Tco Much Bull.

If you want to spoil a pleasant day for a ,politician, just whisper the word “pension” to him. It’s an odds-on bet that he will be vis­ ited with a terrific headache For the old-ige assistance problem is rapidly reaching the stature of our ,AP writer, John Hightower puts it, “Voices too feeble to carry a- cross the family parlot may echo in stentorian tones throughout the halls of Congress this winter.” The next Congress may do little or nothing about it. But unless a miracle occure, some not far distant Congress is going to be gorced to tackle the problem aud get down to cases. The issue is not a political one, in any partisan sense. The idea that came into the mine of Dr. Townsend when Ue looked out of his window a few years ago and saw a garantic can for food has reached gigantic proportion—and has come to bedevil and worry Republicans as well as Democrats. I t 's especially embarrassing to the Democrats now becaus they are In power. A shift in paity power would put it up to the Republicans. The pension leaders are definitely dissatisfied with Administration’s enacted social security legislation. They feel that it offers the indigent old a bone instead of a decent meal. Thep are convinced that the govern - ment should and could substantially increase the amount of pensions. They think that the Federal gov­ ernment should take the lead, and that then the states will follow and agree to do their part of the job. From the standpoint of our Iaw- makeas, the whole thing is a night­ mare. They feel that the country could not stand increases in bene fits to anywheae near current de mands. Thev can produce well, known econemists by the bushel to testify that such ideas for financing densions Dr. Townsend’s “ velocsiy dollar” are unworkable and fan tatie. But this does them no good when they are confronted with the fact that the pension advocates re­ present and command millions of votes. And that is why there has been so much political pussy-foot­ ing on the subject of pensions by candidates for office. Almost all job seekers endorse, in the vaguert terms they can get away with, the principle of adequate and even lavish aid for the aged needy. Most of them, once they've suc­ cessfully convinced the voters of their worth try. to get the whole topic as much out of limelight as possible. This does not necessarily mean such men are insincere. Some cf tnem strangly feel that benefits- must be increased, yet do nothing about it—simply because they haven't; got the answers to the tremendous questions, principally financial that arise. They want to move—but they can’t see a clear p th ahead. Still another weakness of the pension movement is - found in in­ ternal bickerisg. The Townsend Plan organization for instance is split into a dozen factions. Some of the early Ieadern have deserted the Doctor and are leading oppoo- ed blocs of their own. Fuither Store, the fact that there is compe­ tition ■ in the field — such as the California thirty-dollars-every- Thursday proposal (which was beaten last election, though the movement's gubernatorial-, and senatorial candidates were elected) makes a united front impossible. President Roosevelt has defiuete- Iy turned thumbs down on the more extaeme porposals calling them “shoit cuts to Utopio” and Teforring to their sponsors as “the lunatie fringe,” .

A light comedian, he had two absorbing interests—his screen antics and what seemed at the time a juve­nile absorption with miniature airplanes. From the latter, he developed some ideas about ra­ dio-controlled planes. He estab­ lished the Reginald Denny In­ dustries, with James Blackton, an experienced technician, as manager. He is making a small “flying torpedo,’’ designed for flying in swarms, with no pilot, and with land-control of the bomb-dropping as well as guid­ ance. When completed the Unit­ed States will get it. He ran away from school at the age of 36 to play for Charles Froh- man at the Duke of York’s theater. His first featured role was in the “Merry Widow.” Then he became a professional boxer, later champion of the Second corps of the royal air force. XTELSON T.

More than any other American, he has been success­ ful in translating our best an­ thology of pullman car gags to the Chinese. Following the labyrinth of Confucius and Lao Tze, he finds a unique approach to the Chinese mind and has been one of our most successful ambassadors. But, back home, he is sharp, exact, statistical and thoroughly occidental, among which attributes is a line of up-and-coming Chamber of Commerce oratory. He lives in two worlds. After his graduation from George Washington university, Mr. Joluison mixed with the Indians of the South­ west, picked up Indian dialects with remarkable facility; thereby discov­ ering his linguistic gifts. That sent him to China as a student interpret­er in 1906. In the Far East, he has occupied many important posts and is a former assistant secretary of state. He finds the Chinese have a lot more humor than the Japanese.

He came to this country to attend the Chicago World’s fair in 1893, after an Arctic expedition which had launched his career as an anthro­ pologist. He remained to coach vir­ tually all great American anthro­pologists and to become a world au­ thority in linguistics, primitive men­ tality, folklore, ethnology and seiiil- ity.

She was talented and well educated. During normal health she was fastidious, but once her nerves gave way, she let herself go. ■ Her hair was unkempt her skin blotchy her clothes untidy. She became so despondent that she would stand for hours with her face turned toward a wall!Friends, and her physician failed to pull this girl back to health. At last a psychologist succeeded in winning her confidence He insisted upon regular meals, daily duties, hours of sleep, and (this is where vanity enters) he insisted that each morning and night she sit before her mirror and go through a systematic beauty routine. He convinced her that happiness was in store for her if she would make the most of herself. He told her she possessed both beauty and charm. Gradually he made her live up to these compliments.In about three months that girl was cured.

Face Powders The shade of your face powder, its texture, and the way you apply it can make or mar your makeup. A good powder should give your skin the flattering illusion of clarity.Your skin must look clean and clear and be suavely filmed with powder in a shade that is compli­mentary. yet unobtrusive. It should never be in a tone lighter than the shade of your skin. When you choose your powder, let it be the best. It should be downy yet clinging so that it will not break into patches an hour after you put it on. A good powder will also retain its delightful fragrance as long as the powder lasts. Many cheap powders change fragrance after a week or two; the original scent becomes oily and sickening. One of the leading cosmetic mak­ ers has brought out a fine powdei in several exquisite shades. One is called apricot, a lovely, warm shade that, does things for your skin un der night lights. For daytime there is a cream shade that is excellent for the average clear complexion, and an ivory that is flattering for the pale brunette. F a r m T o p i c s i> LUNCH COUNTER TO ENCOURAGE LAYERS Expert Advises Five-Foot Feeders for 100 Hens. By Dr. A. R. Winter, Poultry Department,Ohio. State University.—WNU Service. Providing free-lunch counters for birds in the laying house is a good way to get eggs and reduce labor in preparing poultry feed. Each 100 hens need three five-foot feeders to avoid overcrowding while eating and each feeder should have a reel to keep the chickens out of the feed. Poultrymen might well consider keeping the best of the two-year-old hens rather than to sell them. Meat prices are low and hens will lay 80 per cent as many eggs during then- second year as producers as they did when pullets. Very few birds are worth keeping for layers the third year.Poultrymen will be saved money and trouble if they cull out poorly developed pullets. It costs too much money to feed laying rations to pul­ lets that will not lay eggs until next spring. Good two-year-old hens will make better use of the feed. Laying houses should be repaired, cleaned, and provisions made for ventilation. Diseases spread rapidly in dirty houses, and colds attack birds which are subjected to drafts or overheating. Vaccinations for fowl pox should be postponed if the pullets are ready to go in the laying house as the treatment is likely to delay production. Pullets which appear healthy and vigorous do not need treatment for internal parasites. Treatments which kill parasites have at least a temporary detrimental effect upon the birds and production will be de- layed. It always is a good practice to remove ailing birds from the flock as soon as they are detected. Getting back to feeds for the lay­ ers, tests show good results when birds are fed mash concentrate and grains in separate self feeders. The concentrate may vary from 24 to 32 per cent of protein; less con­ centrate is consumed when the protein content is high. Wheat, corn, and oats can be used for grain and they should be separated in the feed­ers. Advantage Is Found in Having the Same Breeds A dairyman just starting with purebreds may feel that since all his neighbors have one breed of cat­ tle, he should get another breed so as to have a monopoly in the busi­ ness of selling breeding stock. There is no question about the monopoly, says the Missouri Farmer, but there would probably be tittle business to monopolize. It is difficult for an iso­ lated small breeder to dispose of his surplus stock to advantage, while if there are many breeders with the same breed, buyers are attracted to the locality because of the better chance to get the desired animals from one or more of the several breeders. There are other advantages to a dairyman in having the same breed as his neighbor, such as the possi­ bility of exchanging bulls, and of owning good purebred bulls co-oper­ atively. These advantages are ob­ tained by those having grade herds as well as by those with purebreds. Then there is also the opportunity for taking advantage of special breed sales of surplus stock, and, lastly, the advantage of bringing the community together in other en­ deavors which usually result where there is but one breed. It might be added that these same thoughts are applicable to other kinds of live stock and poultry.

C. Teen-Age Girl Outfitted In Garb of Modish Wools By CHERIE NICHOLAS A PTER Yuletide holidays, so carefree and so joyous, then what? Ask the teen-age and the sub-deb, they know. It’s back to school for them with an outfitting of new clothes. A dress, a coat and a suit as pictured give the correct answer. Starred for youthful sim­plicity and gay young charm, this season’s smart wool costumes for the teen-age are ready to go places and do things with utmost chic , and charm. Fine, soft-textured woolens, nice­ly adaptable to any occasion, and sturdy enough to take plenty of wear and tear, make gay little frocks, for classroom, sports and after-school wear as well as versa­ tile action-built jacket-and-skirt cos­ tumes, nonchalant sports coats and formal fur-trimmed coats. The lightweight wool frock for all­ day wear is appearing this season in any number of attractive versions. Sheer wool crepe, fine wool flannel in its lovely glowing colors, soft rabbit-and-wool mixtures, intriguing novel weaves and the ever-popular wool knits are distinctively tailored in chic little frocks that are as flat­ tering as they are correct. The plaid dress with all-round pleated skirt is a school-girl favor­ ite. The appropriately youthful gayety of bright plaid is reflected in the winsome frock in the . accom­ panying illustration. This youthful version of the classic shirtwaist type is of lightweight wool in a gaily col­ orful plaid, accenting a bold red with navy and white. The smart buttons and belt are navy leather. Short sleeves are fulled on for flat­ tering shoulder effect. ' Important in the teen-age ward­robe are the wool jacket-and-skirt suits designed for all-occasion wear. Correct for traveling, country, cam- vus or town wear, they are distin­ guished by smart simplicity of line with accent on fabric and color. Fine wool tweeds in subdued or bright shades, smooth wool flannels, tailor-minded twills and worsteds are all favored for these versatile costumes which are designed to be worn with little silk blouses for dress or with sporting high-neck wool sweaters for casual wear. Pleats share honors with stitched gored constructions in built-for ac­tion skirts. For the college-minded jacket-suit pictured a nubbly wool tweed in soft rose-beige is used, with brown buttons and Drown leath­ er belt for smart contrast. The double pointed pockets are clever and decorative. Costumes that contrast jacket to skirt have made a tremendous “hit.” Suits are selling- with two jackets, one matching the skirt, the other in a vivid plaid or stripe wool that picks up the color of the skirt. Color is important in the soft wool fleeces and sturdy tweeds are used for tailored all-purpose coats for the younger set. Luscious wine shades and rich greens vie for popularity with the traditional neutral shades. Deep browns are good and navy is still popular. Styles vary from the comfortable and correct polo coat type single breasted and belted, to the boxy swagger or the high-but­ toned semi-fitted reefer type. The fleecy coat pictured has a high- rolled wolf collar worn well up to show the squared shoulder line of the sleeves. A leather belt and the large buttons are in dark brown to contrast the deep-green of the coat. The teen-age girl’s wardrobe will not be complete unless it includes a jaunty tip-tilted feathered hat to­gether with a youthful plaid flannel dress as pictured in the inset be­ low. The blouse is enlivened with shining starlike buttons by La Mode and a pert sharkskin Peter Pan col­lar and cuff set. •. © We«tcm Newspaper Union. Crochet Ensemble Winter fun for a young lady will be just so much more exhilarating if she is dressed for her sports in this smart playtime outfit. .This perky knitted and crocheted hat- scarf-glove ensemble is warm to wear and eye-appealing to behold. This set is worked in white german- town wool with a dashing trim in two contrasting colors. The gloves are done in a bold vertical ribbing ef­ fect. Brown Takes Lead In Late Fashions Brown, despite annual predictions to the contrary, this year made a sweeping campaign in the fashion collection and, if the forecast holds good, a large part of feminine ward­ robes this winter will be made up of dresses, coats and suits in some shade of brown. The darker color range includes, first of all, those rather indefinable brown tones which remind one of wine dregs or deep mahogany tones. Quite different are the deep brown costumes which, if made in velvet or downy wool fabrics, can hardly be distinguished from black. Star Dust ★ Repeated Mistakes ★ Doug. Sr. in Again ★ A Morcd-Iess Tale By V irginia V ale---- TH ERE’S a good reason for one of the m istakes that Hollywood m akes about every so often; the only trouble is that after it’s been m ade the studios forget about it, and m ake it all over again later. You read about beautiful models who’ve been signed for pictures—girls who pose for magazine covers and ad­ vertisements, girls whose faces are familiar to you, although you prob­ ably have never known their names until you read about their going to Hollywood. Then, in all likelihood, you never hear of them again. They stay in California until their con­ tracts run out, and then head back to New York, sadder and wiser. One of those models talked to me the other day. She'd been urged— by phone, telegraph and letter—to take advantage of the movies. She’d ANITA COtiNIHAN been offered a screen test. She’d dodged all interviews, just saying that she wasn’t interested. “Of course I take beautiful photo­ graphs,” she said. “That’s because I know how to use make-up. I’m nothing unusual io look at in real life. But the men who make mov­ ies, even though they know what make-up can do for their stars, don’t seem to realize that a model’s beau­ ty may be all artificial. They sign us up, and then comes the awful shock! We’re not beautiful, except when our faces are re-done and are in repose. And then they lose in­terest in us.” Well, that hasn’t been the diffi­ culty where some of the. famous models were concerned. Anita Counihan is an example. She went to Hollywood, got started in bits— and went back east again. But for one like her there have been others by the'dozen, girls whose beauty in photographs captivated the movie men, when it didn’t exist in real life. Bolero Theme in New Silhouette A new departure in the bolero theme is the very short dress top that pulls on over the head like a sweater. It is, as a matter of fact, of bolero inspiration except that it is closed up Uie front instead of left open jacket fashion. The beauty of this new fashion is that it has a tendency to slenderize the waistline below, giving width at the top of the figure and extending out at bustiine. Some of these new pull-on boleros are prettily braided and embroid­ ered. , Lingerie Note There is a definite trend toward high necklines and short sleeves in lingerie. Remember Mary Komman, who used to be the sweetheart of the “Our Gang” comedy shorts? She’s an attractive young woman now, and yotfll see her in “It’s Spring Again,” with Oliver Hardy and Har­ry Langdon. — *— The Hall Johnson Negro choir, which you’ve often heard on the air, has been signed for that same pic­ ture, incidentally; in it they’ll fea­ ture “In the Evening by the Moon­ light.” — *— . Douglas Fairbanks Sr. just couldn’t stay out of the picture busi­ ness any longer. His new company is all set, financed by American, British and Swiss capital. The seni- ior Fairbanks will just produce— at least, at present he thinks he won’t act, but you never can tell— I and he has planned three pictures for 193S. They are “The Californi­ ans,” “The Tenth Woman,” .based on the life of Lord Byron, and “The Three Musketeers.” Here are a couple of success sto­ ries of the air for you. Eugene Conley was a shipping clerk in Lynn 1 , Mass., until not so very long ago. I He took time off whenever he coUld I to sing with three of his friends. A radio executive heard ,the boys, one time when Conley was playing hook­ey from his job in order to sing_ and now Conley has three programs a week, and has had an offer from the Chicago Opera company! John Laing didn’t play hookey from his job, because he was a page boy, and soon after that he was a guide (N. B. C. has a lot of them, you know, to guide tourists through its studios). After that he did an audition as an announcer, and an announcer he was,'for four years. Now he’s been signed up for movies; So one won out by not sticking to his job, and the other succeeded by sticking to it. — *— ODDS ANO ENDS——Dolore$ Costello has the'feminine lead opposite Adolphe Menjou in “King of the Turfn-Ond Bing Crosby, the horse, not the crooner, is also in the cast.'. .

Houston Goudiss Offers New Year's Resolutions Concerning Foods and Nutrition. Suggests How to Help Make Your Family Healthier and Happier By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS IT HAS been custom ary for a long tim e to m ark ,the begin­ ning of a new year with the ringing of bells, with m erry­ m aking, and with the hope expressed to one’s friends that they will enjoy greater health, happiness and prosperity in the forthcoming twelve months. Though greetings are usually exchanged in a spirit of gayety, the occasion frequently does, as indeed it should, have an undercurrent of s o ------------------------------------------ lemnity. For it is quite fitting that we should view the close of one year and the beginning of another as both an Ending and a Beginning, even though we recognize that life goes along in an unbroken stream. The magic hour of midnight may well mark the end of certain of our mis­ takes, and the be­ ginning of greater wisdom in acting, thinking, and liv­ ing. It seems to me that the week in which we celebrate New Year’s is a particularly appropriate time for mothers to resolve to take stock of the program of daily living that they have outlined for their fami­lies; and if necessary, to alter it so that every member may gain a more generous share of well-being and contentment. Questions for a Homemaker I believe that every homemaker owes it to her family to pause for a few moments at this season to look backwards along the road that she and her family have trav­ eled in recent months. Have you taken advantage of the knowledge offered by modern nutritional science? Can you con­ scientiously say with conviction that you have given your husband and children all the different food elements that are necessary for buoyant, radiant health? If yon have grown as you should ih 'the past year . . . and no homemaker who is doing a really first class job ever remains static; she moves with the times . . . then it is inevitable that there has been a gradual change in the char­acter- of the food that you have put on your table tbree times a day. But can you feel confident those meals have been right in every respect? Have they included the necessary protein, fats, carbo­ hydrates? Have they included at least 12 minerals; the six known vitamins; and sufficient bulk or cellulose to help maintain regular health habits? Time to Take Inventory Do not be too discouraged if you cannot answer yes to all of these questions, because the chances are that many other homemakers may also find it necessary to give a partially negative answer. Moth­ ers especially are busy people, and many of them feel that it is difficult to keep pace, as they would like to do, with the fast- moving science of nutrition. Now, during this week which brings us the beginning of a new year, now is a time—after taking inventory of what you have or have not done—to look forward, to survey the road that lies ahead. Before every wife and mother' hangs the curtain of the future that will be . slowly drawn aside, revealing the destiny of herself, Her husband and her children, as the future becomes the present, as tomorrow becomes today.And as your loved ones travel the road of life, it is you who have it in your power to help them at­ tain strong vigorous bodies; alert, efficiently working minds. Now is the time for you to de­ termine to make the power of food their power, so that they shall not flag in their travels along the high­way, but draw new strength for each day’s journey every time they sit down at your table, sit down, as I have said before, to Life! The Tremendous Power of FoodWhat they are going to be to­ morrow is indeed influenced by what they eat today, for there never was a truer statement than that man is what he eats. And that does not mean that physical prowess and mental superiority may result only when the table is set with luxuries! On the con­ trary, malnutrition, which means not necessarily under-nutrition but improper nutrition, is found in the homes of the wealthy as well as in the homes of the underprivi­ leged. The power of fo 6 d is de­termined, not so much by what you spend, as by what you choose.One need not spend a great deal for food to provide the milk and other dairy products, fruits and vegetables that should be con­ sumed in abundance. There is al­ ways evaporated milk for those who do not care to buy bottled milk, or who prefer to use it as a supplement to bottled milk. And since large numbers of fruits and vegetables are now in season prac­ tically throughout the year, it is almost always possible to choose varieties of these mineral- and vitamin-bearing foods that are in­ expensively priced. Be It Resolved: I should, therefore, like to urge every homemaker to make at least one New Year’s resolution: to resolve that she will build her family diet in 1939 first of all around the protective foods, milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables. It will be my privilege each week to help interpret for you the amazing discoveries of nutritional science; and to show how you can utilize the newer knowledge of nu­ trition to help increase the mental and physical efficiency of your family. Together then, let us resolve to travel along the highroad of well­being In 1939. Questions Answered Mrs. K. Mc.N.—You should in­ clude at least two rich sources of each of the vitamins in your menus every day. It is also im­ portant to serve some raw food, as for example, a salad, in plan­ ning the diet of persons in normal health. TJse fruits liberally and provide a pint of milk for each adult, a quart for every child, either as a beverage or in cooked dishes. ©—WNu—C„ Houston Goudlss—193d—$3, They're New and Different!

Sprinkle the bum with salt, leaving it for some hours and then wash, rub­ bing the bum gently. Unless the bum has. actually eaten into the. surface of the pan it will come away with the salt. Drying Fur Garments.—Damp fur garments should be dried in a cool current of air, never near a radiator or other source of heat. • • • .

Changing Dances From 1776 to 1911, American so­ cial dancing was virtually con­ fined to six dances: the polka, reel, square dance, minuet, waltz and two-step, reports' Collier’s. .From 1911 to 1938, more than 25 new dances have been introduced, among them being the turkey trot, grizzly bear, Texas tommy, bunny hug, hesitation; tango, maxixe, one-step, Castle walk, fox trot, Charleston, black bottom, Lindy hop, rumba and the big apple. every one of them is charming!

C. -I V L IF E O F T H E P A R T Y BT ELIZABETH JORDAN OD. Appleten-CenhiryCo., Die,WHtXService SYNOPSIS Young Rex Hale calls on Casper Knee* land, friend of his father, in New York, and finds him proudly successful but strangely preoccupied. He tells Hale of his wife's death while insane, invites him for the sum* m er to Halcyon Camp, his home on Long Island, and promises him he will be "useful" as his secretary there. Hale is joined at lunch by Fred Ainsworth, an unpopular col* lege mate, also at Halcyon, who leaves him with a feeling of unpleasant mystery. He is met at the train by Mrs. Wilbur Nash, whom he questions about the menage, and experiences a disturbing premonition. The premonition is barely eased by the com­fortable hospitality of Hosanna. Kneeland’s elderly sister, ana her friend, Ruth Forbes, miauie-aged sophisticate. In his room. Hale finds a soiled paper, printed, "This plase danjerus." Hale meets the rest of the strange group—Dr. Craig, psychiatrist friend of Bert Kneeland, nervous young son of Casper, and beautiful but moody Joan Kneeland, niece of the house. Ainsworth drops in at his room, questions him about his reactions, and tells him of Bert's hope­less love for his heiress cousin, and that Mrs. Forbes is down and out. The whole group seem to get on each other's nerves. Later, Hale sees Hosanna furtively meeting a shabby man in the woods. The maid tells of the recent poisoning of a cat and dog. Mrs. Nash suggests that Ainsworth has some hold on them. Hale finds in his room a clever sketch of skull and crossbones. Kneeland arrives for the week-end, also curious about Hale's reactions and asks him to be his ■substitute host, a "life of the party," and meanwhile try to solve the mystery of the behavior of them all. Bert confides in Hale his growing annoyance at Craig's nightly visits and endless talks of cadavers, parts of which he preserves in his locked laboratory, and Hale advises the boy to discourage the visits. He finds another sketch of a cobra coiled to strike, with the caption, "Why wate for this?" He writes to two famous psychi­atrists, collects fingerprints from the notes and sketches, and drives into New York to get the prints analyzed, call on two doc­tors. and establish some contacts for infor­mation on Ainsworth and Craig. George Stuyvesant, college friend, confirms Ains- worth's reputation as a parasite. CHAPTER V—Continued —12— Hale continued, “I’d like to ask you about another guest there—Mrs. Spencer Forbes. Do you know her?” “Ruth Spencer Forbes? Of course I know her. Who doesn’t know her,” replied Stuyvesant. “She’s a pal of my mother’s. She often comes to the house. I rather like her myself. She’s good fun, if you get her in the right mood. ; Four or five cock­ tails usually do it. The things I’ve heard that woman say! What did you want to know about Ruth Spencer Forbes?” he ended more seriously. “I suppose you know she’s on the financial rocks. Almost everyone is, just now. But I think her posi­ tion is worse than most.” “Yes, someone spoke of that. She’s spending the summer with Miss Hosanna Kneeland.” Stuyvesant nodded. “I’ve heard of her. Ruth picks ’em up wherever she finds ’em. She’s IUce Ainsworth in that respect, very democratic. I suppose Miss Kneeland has always bowed down before Ruth, and Ruth has taken it like Buddha on a shrine. She would. That reminds me of something else. Isn’t there an heiress of sorts in the Kneeland family—a girl called June or Joan or something?” “There is.” “And is she easy on the eyes!” Stuyvesant spoke enthusiastically. “I met her twice last winter. I wanted to meet her oftener but she dropped out of sight in the spring. Is it her house you’re visiting?” “It’s her uncle’s Camp, but she’s there.” “You’re in luck,” Stuyvesant said simply. “Say, old man, couldn’t you get me down there for a week­ end?” ■Til suggest it to her,” Hale smiled. The waiter was clearing the table for the salad. The two young men ate their luncheons and talked of other things. Then Stuyvesant jumped to his feet. ‘Tm off,” he announced, “but Tve got to, see more of you. I hope I’ve told you what you want. How about my putting you up at the Engineers’ Club? Would that be useful?” “Very much so. Thanks. It might be convenient to have some place I can use for town appointments. You’re treating me mighty well, Stuyvesant. I won’t forget it.” “What’s your present address?” Hale gave him the address and telephone number of the Kneeland town house, and the'Camp address as well. The two young men faced each other rather self-consciously. “Don’t drop out of sight again,” Stuyvesant said. “You bet I won’t.” They shook hands enthusiastically. Doctor Gordon Dewar, had made the appointment with more than res­ ignation. • “I’ll see you right after my office hours,” he promised. “Not that there will be many in the office. Most of my patients are going off their heads these days without my help.”He chuckled and Hale liked the sound. Here, he hoped, was- a man who would “open up.” But Doctor Dewar’s opening up was cautious. Indeed, .almost at Hale’s first words, he changed from a rosy-faced and somewhat exuberant man-about- town to a canny Scot with suspi­ cious eyes.“AU I want, .Doctor,” Hale be­ gan briskly, “is to put a hypothetical case to you. Granting that a cer­tain doctor is doing so and so, what would be the penalty in your pro-' Cession if he were caught at it?” “You’U have to be a lot more definite than that, my friend,” Doc­ tor Dewar said curtly. “I expect to be. Here’s the hy­ pothetical situation. Assume that I’m writing a play around it, and need some information about the ethics of the medical profession in such a case.” “Ah.” The doctor looked relieved but stUl cautious. Hale talked-for ten minutes. At the end Doctor Dewar nodded slow­ ly.“It’s a good situation,” he ad­ mitted. “Dramatic, and aU that. It’s the sort of thing that’s more apt to happen in life than in the drama. Playwrights are afraid of turning the screw too far. Life is never afraid of doing that. It’s doing it aU the time.” His cau­ tion returned. “You understand that I can’t be quoted in any way or received,'and said he wouldn’t. Rex went back to the bureau he had visited that morning. He left for fingerprinting the slip of paper Ains­ worth had given him in the medical library. It had been luck to get that. He also had his own finger­ prints made. ‘Tve numbered all those prints very carefully,” he said. “Be mighty careful about the numbers in your reports. Mark any later specimens I send you by consecu-, tive following figures. Express your­ self in your written reports so a lay­ man can understand you. I’ve got a lot to learn about this sort of thing.” Hale next made his way to Cas­ per Kneeland’s town house. It was a “brownstone front” on a street just off the Avenue, in the Sixties, and much like a dozen other brown- stone houses in its neighborhood. m “Who doesn’t know the poor old girl?” even mentioned in connection with a case of that sort.” ‘Given the conditions I’ve suggest­ed, what would be the procedure for the innocent bystander who is watching them?” “H-m-mm.” It was the doctor’s turn to talk, and he did it. Hale listened, put questions, made a. few notes. At the end of twenty min­utes he got up and held out his hand. ‘Thanks,” he said gratefully. “You’ve given me just what I need­ed.” The doctor returned the grip. Hale went away optimistically. He was still walking in dark places, but light was breaking through and at least he had one-destination in sight. It was fifteen minutes past four. He called up the second psychiatrist and had another break. The second psychiatrist was a dif­ ferent type from the first. He was impressed by Hale’s letter from Doctor Kingsbury, the psychiatrist, and obviously proud of his brief association with him. Hale suspect­ ed him of being a bit of a medical snob. Like Dewar he attached much importance to Kingsbury’s assertion that Hale’s discretion could be re­ lied upon. After a little fencing the two: men got down to brass tacks. Yes, Doctor Hitchcock knew Doctor Craig.. Then all the unhelpful data Hale had Cxpected-CraigvS fine training, his medical connections and the like. “All that being granted,” Hale asked Doctor Hitchcock, “why isn’t he more popular? Why hasn’t he any friends?” Hitchcock was ready to- answer that. [‘He’s too young, for one thing,” he pointed out. “For another, he’s too self-centered. Doesn’t care for friends. He hasn’t time for. them. He considers his own time very valuable—much more valuable than some of us think it is,” he smiled. “He has dropped hints that he’s on the track of something important. He’s corresponding with some big­ wig in Vienna, but he doesn’t say who it is.” “What about his character as you see it?” “Ambitious — rather abnormally so. Ruthless, I’d- say, in going after what he wants. That’s aU I know about him. Part of that is theory.” Hale was satisfied. He had put a wholly different problem to Hitch­ cock from the one presented to De­war. He had got what he wanted from both. He returned to the build­ing that held Ainsworth’s office and again interviewed the elevator op­ erator. No, Mr. Ainsworth had not been in the building that day. The operator didn’t expect him. He had been there last Thursday. He nev­ er came more than once a week these days and often he didn’t show up for two or three weeks. “When he does show up you won’t feel obliged to. mention that a red­ headed chap has been asking ques­tions about him, will you?”The operator grinned, fingering the additional half dollar he had His ring, at the bell was answered with deliberation by a middle-aged colored man neatly dressed and pre­ maturely bald. “I’m stopping here tonight,” Rex said. “ Mt. Kneeland telephoned you about it, I suppose.” “Yes, suh.” “Here’s my luggage," said Hale as he entered. He took from his pocket, and held out, a comb, a box of safety ra­ zors, a tooth brush, and a small cake of soap, each article chastely wrapped in cellophane. He had just purchased the collection in a corner drug-store. “My plan,” he added sedately, “is to escape in a sheet if the house catches fire tonight.” “If you-all will jest come-this way—” The man led him up the staircase. “What’s your name?” Rex asked as they went. “George Davis, suh.” “Well, George Davis, there are those who like to wrap themselves in silk pajamas on a night like this, but I’m not one of them. There’s no one but you in the house, Mr. Kneeland said.” “No, suh.” George warmed into hospitality as he led the guest along an upper hall.“Mist’ Kneeland say you-all can have anything you want,” he an­ nounced, throwing open a door.“All right, thanks,” Hale said gratefully. “I’ll take that portrait of Miss Joan on this wall. It’s a good one.” They had entered a front bedroom on the second floor. Miss Kneeland’s portrait, painted by Wayman Ad­ams, faced them from a command­ ing position above .the mantel. “Ah reckon,” George suggested thoughtfully, “Mist’ Kneeland, he meant bath-robes.” “Maybe he did. Whose room is this?”“It’s jest for cemp’ny, suh. That’s why Miss Joan’s picture’s here. Miss Joan, she don’t like that pic­ ture no-how.”“That settles that. Is this the room you’re putting me into? If it is, hustle along one of Mr. Knee­ land’s discarded bathrobes. I’m a busy man, George, and the respon­ sibilities of life are pressing upon me. Step lively.”George returned, dropped the bath-robe over the foot of the bed and tactfully retired. When Rex had bathed, shaved and repressed he was a giant re­ freshed. He had not quite decided what to do with his evening. Now he suddenly resolved to dine St Maxim's and see a cheerful play. There were several good hold-overs from the spring season. He carried out this program and enjoyed it. When he returned to the Kneeland house a little after eleven and started upstairs he saw a line of light under the door of a room George had described as “Mist’ Kneeland’s la’bly.” Simulta­ neously the door opened and Knee­land looked out. “That you, my boy?” he called. “Come in a minute. I hope George is making you comfortable,” he added carelessly, as Hale took the chair he offered. “Altogether too much so,” Hale testified. ‘Tm getting to be a syb­ arite. I ought to be working with a few mule teams on the side of some Andalusian mountain, to bring me back to normal.” Kneeland shook his head. “Grab -everything you can get while the grabbing is good,” he ad­vised. “That’s my motto. There will be plenty of times when you can’t get what you want.” “All right, sir,” Hale agreed briskly. “What I want now is to ask you a few questions.” “What kind of questions? If there are many of them you’d better light up and have a drink before you be­gin to shoot.” “There will be many, after that lead,” Hale said firmly. He helped himself to a cigar from the box Kneeland indicated. “What I want,” he said after the two men had lighted up, “is your authority to act for you at Halcyon Camp in any serious emergency that may come up when you’re not there.” Kneeland looked startled.“Are you expecting an emergen­ cy?”“It’s always possible.” “Well, give me a line on it.” “I can’t do that, sir.” “Why not?” “Because, to be frank, I'm afraid you might spill the beans. You might see something and go off at half-cock before the time was ripe. Since you have put me in charge of this investigation, I feel justified in asking you to give me a free hand.” Kneeland frowned and savagely bit off the end of his cigar. “That’s a large order—and I don’t like mysteries.” “I know you don’t, sir. That’s why you asked me to look into this one.” “And there is one? You’re sure of that?”“I’m pretty sure of it. But I can’t prove it unless the person back of it gives himself away.” (TO BE CONTINUED) New Zealand Women Propose Government Agency to Handle the Servant Problem The dearth of household servants is as annoying in New Zealand as it is in Bfitain, so the women or­ ganizations of the Dominion got to­ gether and have suggested a rem­ edy to the government, according to the Christchurch correspondent of the Observer of London. It is proposed to train a national corps of domestic workers, to be paid and hired out by the govern­ ment. Employers would reimburse the government according to their means.A special committee has been formed to look into the whole ques­ tion. It is called the Household Service campaign committee, and is representative of all the leading women’s organizations.The opinion is widely held among New Zealand women that the status of domestic workers must be raised considerably if a. good supply of efficient workers is to be main­ tained.The committee, proposes that the government should “recruit” a na­ tional domestic service corps of young women- agreeable to enter­ ing the domestic service profession. Under the scheme recruits would be asked to undergo whatever train­ ing is considered desirable at a technical school, and when they “graduated” would be guaranteed continuity of employment as long as their services were satisfactory. The government’s domestic serv­ ice department would insure that living and working conditions were up to standard.

GOLDEN TEXT—Tbou art the Christ, the Son ot the living God.—Matthew 16:16. “What think ye of Christ?” This question, ujhich was asked by Jesus Himself (Matt. 22: 42), is the touchstone that tries men, and churches, organizations, and move­ ments. The answer to it determines character, condition, and destiny. As we study the life of Peter and see how he responded to the ques­ tion of Jesus, let us not fail to apply the truth to ourselves and to those to whom we minister. This is indeed I. A Crucial Question (w. 13-16). With His crucifixion now only six months away our Lord in prepara­ tion for it is about to make a more definite claim to Messiahship, and thus to establish the truth in the minds , of His disciples. He there­ fore asks this all-important ques­ tion about Himself. First, it is a general query, “Whom do men say that I am?” The answer (v. 14) indicates that the common opinion concerning Ciurist was a very high one. He had made an impression on the people of His time, and this has been true down through the ages. Even those .who do not believe on Him admit that He was “the ideal representative and guide to hu­ manity,” or the person before whom, “everyone would kneel.” But beau­ tiful tributes to His character and leadership are worse than mean­ ingless uitiess they lead to a per­ sonal confession of Him as Lord and Saviour. The question becomes personal as He asks, “Whom do ye say that I am?” That question no one can es­cape. We cannot refuse to answer. Neutrality is impossible. Whatever we do or say, or do not do or say, is a decision. Peter’s answer is really the sum and substance of Christian doctrine. He recognized Him as the Messiah, the fulfillment of all Hebrew prophe­ cy, and as the Son of the Living God, the Redeemer and Savior of men, the One in whom centers all Christian faith. H. A Divine Revelation (w. 17- 20). Peter had been ready to be taught by the Holy Spirit, and therefore made a confession of Christ which was not conceived in the mind of a man but was a conviction bom of the Spirit of God (cf. I Cor. 12:3).Upon Peter’s confession, which was thus really a divine revelation of the person and work of Christ, the Church is established, Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone (I Pet. 2:7) with'Peter himself as one of the apostles built into its very foundation (Eph. 2:20). Note that Christ calls it “my church.” It is His Body, and He as the Head rules over it. The gates of Hades, that is, the wicked pow­ ers of the unseen world, while they now seemingly have great power against the Church, shall not ulti­ mately prevail. We have a victori­ous Christ. The giving of the keys, and the authority to bind or loose have been variously interpreted. It would seem to be clear, however, that this was not intended to be any personal power to be used by Peter, and quite evidently not to be transferred by him to others. It was rather the authority to admit men into( the kingdom of God as they fulfill His provisions for entrance, and to de­ clare that those who do not enter by way of Christ must be forever barred from its sacred precincts. HI. Tlie Shadow of the Cross (w. 21-25). The cross of Christ casts its shad­ow over the little group as Jesus begins to show to His disciples (v. 21) what He is to suffer as the Saviour of the world. The city of Jerusalem exalted to heaven by its opportunities and privileges is to be the place where He is to. be nailed to the tree. “Where roses ought to bloom, sin has often plant­ ed thorns.” Peter in an outburst of affectionate folly tries to hinder Christ from going to the cross, and becomes for the moment the serv­ ant of Satan. He “meant well,” but it is not enough to have good intentions. The cross of Christ calls for the cross of the Christian (v. 24). Note well that this does not refer to little acts of so-called “self-denial,” but rather to the denial of self. It means that self-will is set aside and God’s will becomes paramount in the life V. 24). It means the abandon­ ment of selfish motives and desires, the losing of life for Christ’s sake. Thus only do we find the real ful­ fillment of life (v. 25). For God to Decide There are those who-say, and that continually, that life is too short. That depends. What are you doing with it? For some things it is; for others it is not. In any case, it is not for us to make any declaration oh that point. God knows whether it is, or is not, too short. And it is' safe to leave that matter with him —Christian Conservator. Double Bedspread o! Luxurious Talfeta By RUTH WYETH SPEARS <«r|EAR MRS. SPEARS: Your book, SEWING, for the Home Decorator, has helped me with so many problems that I am hoping you will give me some spe­cial advice now. For a long time I have been wanting a taffeta spread for a double bed. I figure that, if I can make one from 10 yards of 39-inch taffeta, it will cost about half as much as one of the same quality ready made. Will you be good enough to tell me how to cut the material so there will be no waste? This is impor­ tant as I must economize. M. G.” Here are cutting dimensions for a double bedspread of 39 or 40- inch material. You will need a little less than your 10 yards— yards will be enough, and this RUFFUS RUFFLiS / narrow MATERIAL PANELS LEFT AFTER CENTER PANEL IS makes the spread long enough to cover the pillows nicely. Cut the center panel first, then divide the material that is left as shown in the upper diagram. Join the two pieces of ruffle material to make one long piece, then divide it evenly; for the two ruffles. These cutting dimensions allow generous seams. Enough material may be taken from the seam edges to cover cords for welted seams if desired. A very narrow machine stitched hem should be used at the bottom of the ruffles. Full directions for making welt­ed seams are contained in Book I, offered herewith. There are also directions in this book for making bedspreads of 36-inch cotton ma­terial. Today’s lesson is not in either of the books offered here, so be sure to clip and save it for reference.NOTE: Mrs. Spears’ .Book 2— Gifts, Novelties and Embroidery, has helped thousands of women to use odds and ends of materials and their spare time to make things to sell and to use.

Hibernating Bridge The Steffenbach bridge of the Furka-Oberalp railway is one of the most unique spans of its kind in Switzerland, for every year, in fall, as soon as the line shuts down for the winter, it is removed from the destructive path of the Stef- fenbach avalanche. When this scenic line was built before the war a solid stone viaduct had been provided for this particular cross­ ing of the Furka-Reuss in the Ur- seren valley. In 1915 an avalanche swept the bridge away. In 1926 a span which can be folded up in the winter to protect it from the elements and mounted again in the spring was placed across the Steffenbach. ■ RBIff follows when you rub on Penetro to ease discomfort.

They heard much I of these facts from the opponents ofI these office-holders during the re­ cent election campaign. If any of! them had any skeletons in their | closets they were trotted out and: plainly exhibited to the public by j their opponents. But tnert i.j much interest concern-; jng the type of men that have been elected to the new Hoa .9 of Repre­ sentatives which will mee in session in January. We will not deal with the make up of each individual, for Representative which will meet inj eessioniin January. VVe will not deal with the make up of each individual, for that would rf quire too much soace. nor will we make reference to any of those cffi’e holders who were returned to their seats by the people. We will merely summerize a few facts concerning the new members elected on November 8 h. It is interesting to note for in­ stance that among the new mem­ bers elected on November 8 were at least 37 who have served the nation in war time and who belong to either the American Legion or to the Vet­ erans of Foreign Wars Amnngthese are founders of the Legion and for­ mer commander and high officers of it and the V. F. W. This certainly points to a patriotic front. In a fraternal way the Masons ap pear to have captured the prize. At least 18 of the new members, or of those known to belong to fraternal societies, are members of the Ma­ sonic order, with the Elks and Odd Fellows running a good second and third and with many representatives from the Moose, Woodmen. Euglee Knights of Pithias, Red Men, Owls and the like. Two bankers and two laborers were elected, an even tally. Civic clubs such as the Rotary.

The Roosevelt idealism tor Pan American alliances and solidarite against the invasion of rhe Europe­ an isms into these countries receiv­ ed shart and stentorian support in the address of Mr. Landon, Re­ publican candidate for President in 1936 and a delegate appoitned by Mr. Roosevelt, to the Lima confer­ ence. Governor Lan^on spoke out bluntly—far more bluntly than the soft-mannered and mild tempered Se retary Hull—but it is clear that the objectives in mind are com monly held by both of them, and that Mr. Landon was well within the range of the proprieties in.shell- ing the woods at Lima for demo­ cracy. His remarks are of peculiar significance as showing how that, npOn occasions of this kicd parti­ sanship can be subjugated to pa­ triotism, and that when any under­ taking of national significance is involved, American leaders can forget their petty politics and speak the unified voice of the nation. Notably impressive was the stir­ ring statement of Mr. Landon that no matter what happens in 1940 in the the American presidential elections no matter which of the two dominant parties may be in power the bolicy of the United States in respect to its relation with other American countries wiil re­ main unchanged. The Monroe doctrine be properly and truthfully asserted represent} one natioral policy that had been uniformly pursued “ for over .a century regardless of election re­ sults.” Governor Landon was even more militant and aggressive in his cor.- demnation of the policies of the leaders of totalitarian states, again in this reference giving not cnly strong suppott to the horrified atti­ tude of the Administration now in power, bnt speaking in clear cnt, resounding a n d unapelogetk syllables the resentment of tbe American people, as a whole, to- word tbe brutalities so commpnly practiced by tbe dictators. Manifestly, President Roosevelt did more than make a graceful and magnanimous gesture toword a political and party adversary in naming Mr. Landon as a member of the American delegation to tbe Pan-American conference at Lima. He picked out a man who could say what is in the American mind and heart with an emphasis that must .have produced an internation­ al reaction of deep and important interest.—Charlotte Observer. Home Hdme is the foundation of man’s happiness and contentment. With­ in its walls, shut away from the struggles of the world, and shut io with those be loves, man may find time and.the proper atmosphere to worship his Creator, and to traiu his children in the paths of rec­ titude. From such a home come men and women who are fitted to carry their share of human' affairs. Such a home is also the most stable foundation upon which to erect tbe superstructure of human society; for society is made up of its individu­ al members, and their'character of the nation. Bnt such a home is possible only- where alf men have liberty, not only in civil and materi­ al affairs, but also in the worship of God according to the dictates, of the individual conscience. Happy is that nation which has written in­ to its fundamental law that all citizens may worship Qod freely as they choose, and - may:- train, their children .to the religion which they bold dear.—Libgfty Magagifre. 'm m m Five Old Sisters Of The Sand Hills Driven from their home in order that America might go forward with her program of ."prepared­ ness,” four sisters whose ages, if combined, would reach back to within a quarter of a centnay of the arrival of tbe first colony on Roanoke Island, have started life anew, not at “4 0,” bnt at no aver age of 82 years, in a little new cottage seven miles .out from Vass, Mooae county, within easy sound of the b’g guns that boom around the site of teeir old homestead. Theyarethe “McCraney sisters, What’s the Answer?ByEDWJSRD FTNCH IMIhy does a Human BEING HAVE 1 0 UEARN TO SWIM? M t and their nearest neighbor.is a fifth I man ^le 01^y animal,1 with the exception perhaps of the monkey, who cannot swim assister, whose age brings the total to 402 years. Tbe old home, which was on a large plantation left them by’’theit parents, Malcolm and Sarah Ray McCraney, was half-way between historic pld Longstreet and Sandy Grove churches in Cumberland couuty, now Hoke where genera­ tions of Scotch settlers met for wor- hip. When the government decided npon this territory as a location for the Fort Bragg military re servation, the sisters were forced to sell their holding and join in the general exodus. So reluct­ ant was one of tbe sisters to give up the old home that for years she would not accept her share of thie money from the government. Years of moving from plate to place followed the "refugees” liv­ ing in one place for a year or two, then another until they had moved nine times. A few months ago, a nephew built the little new cot tage for them, and to the new home they carried tbe few treasured pos­ sessions which they had been able to keep together through their wan derings. ^ One of these is a beautiful hand- woven woolen bedspread tufted with a- wool thread in lovely colors, which Miss Mary Ann, 9 0, made when she was a young girl. “How old is this spread?” a visitor, who was admiring it, in quirec’, "It was made when Harriet was 1 bady,” Miss Mary Ann replied. “Old Miss Ray was coming to stay with us, and she sent word for me to have the thread ready and she would help me tuft it. ” Miss Har­ riet, the baby, is 7 0. The other members of the house­ hold are Mrs.- Lizzie Faircloth, 85; and Miss Jane, 8 2. Mrs. Effie Beard the fifth sister, is 7 5 . Three broth­ ers have died. Despite their ages, the four lit. tie old ladies are active, do not wear glasses regularly and can hear perfectly. Miss Mary Ann is tbe only bobbed haired one in the group but this does not m-an that she is iny more modern than her yonnger sisters. Her hatr was cut after a fall, in which she suffered a broken arm and injured shoulder. The four do all of their, own work, washing, ironing, ., cooking rod sewing and carry water to the house from a spring some 5 0 yards away at the foot of a hill. They look after the chickens and -ducks, and with the exception of the plow ing planted and tended a potato patch which last ysar yielded them 40 bushels of Dotatoes. "Are. those bee hives out there?” the inquisitsve visitor asked, indi eating some low boxes in thi edge of the yard. "‘Yes,” said Miss Mary Ann, ‘ ‘but .JjgeR ^on’t .d 0 ; T*. well when they ate fhoved.ffbuhd^so much;” ‘-!Neither do little 0I4. ^ladies,” L rie U n r.to fl -14 • *Sithe.yisitpr/feflebti^^ is so fine JJihat they again-: have a soon as he can walk.

He had opponents at practically Cvrry elect ion. but his popularity-and efficien­ cy caused him to be renominated and election by large majorities.

PARTON NEW YORK. — Once, at an al­ ley’s end in Guayaquil, this re­ porter then young and indiscreet, became involved in an argument . . . . _ with certain ofMedics K. O. Ill Will and Fever in S. A. only dog meat. the native citi­ zenry, who in­ sisted that North Americans ate Your correspond­ ent knew only enough Spanish to get him into trouble, and was using it diligently to that end when Dr. Robert Entwistle, once of Philadel­ phia, later a student and practition­ er of tropical medicine along the west coast fever ports, appeared. He calmed the excitement and saved his countryman much em­ barrassment and possibly a broken head. It was like magic, the way he piped everybody down. They loved and trusted him and he was their authority on everything from international relations to beri-beri. So, today, it seemed almost like old news to read in a dis­ patch from Lima that it was an American doctor and not a statesman, who, possibly more than any other one man, has in­ duced respect and good will for this country, down around and below the equator. With a num­ ber of other American doctors, Dr. John D. Long, of the United States Public Health service, has been carrying on a fight against the bubonic plague, malaria, chagres fever and other tropical curses in Ecuador, Bra­ zil, Peru, Chile and other coun­tries. He holds decorations from half, a dozen South American countries. He and Ius col­ leagues have served only in re­ sponse to specific requests for their services, and the sum of their efforts has been to allay ill will, dispel prejudice and misunderstanding and promote friendly relations. Doctor Long, 64 years old, quiet, precise, unassuming, is a typical American professional man, whose home town was Mt. Pleasant, Pa. After his graduation from the med­ ical school of the University of Pennsylvania, he entered the nation­ al public health service, became its assistant surgeon, and, assigned to the Philippines, won eminence in his profession in his work in sani­ tation and in fighting disease. In 1926, he was loaned to the Chilean government for a similar encounter there. In this writer’s observation of South American countries, par­ ticularized instances of civilized behavior, fair dealing and re­ gard for native traditions and amenities, once the fear of pred­ atory designs had been over­come, were effective where all else failed, including our most eloquent offerings of official friendship.

These are the first ever brought to this country. Dr. Charles M. Breder Jr. plans to go to Africa as soon as possible to check up on their I. Q. The ancient Egyptians re­ vered and protected them, in the belief that their huge brain cav­ities were inhabited by the souls of departed men. Doctor Breder thinks a study of their intelli­ gence, if any, in relation to their out-size brain, might be enlight­ening. Doctor Breder was a boy icthyol- ogist at Newark, where the family was apt to find the bathtub full of killies and sticklebacks. In his ex­ amination for a biologist’s job in the fisheries bureau, he confounded his elders and beat out Ph. D. en­ trants in the competition. He was assistant director of the Aquarium for 14 years and became director a year ago. Doctor Breder is said to rank all. other scientists. He is 40 years old, a fragile, clerical- looking man, with blue eyes and ’ yellow hair. But his appearance is deceptive. On the Richard Oglesby Marsh expedition, to the Chucunaque river country in southern Panama, in 1924, in which Dr. J. L. Baer of the Smithsonian institntion lost his life, Doctor Breder came through swimmingly, with no chagres fever or beri-beri and a brand new fish. Its name, Rivulus Chuchnaque Breder, is in 8-pt. body type, five-sixteenths •f an inch longer than the fish. <£> Consolidated News F eatures.WNU Sendee.

Your Shoe Tells The Story To begin with, a good shoe has a straight inner line which keeps the big toe straight and prevents a bun­ ion from forming. It should be wide enough to give your toes ample room for gripping when you walk, and the heel should allow good pos­ ture as weU as comfort. Leam whether you should wear a long vamp shoe or a short vamp shoe Choose a model with strong arch support and don’t let style or color influence your purchase. Just any shoe which is pretty, is the wrong philosophy—in fact that is flirting with ruined health. For general wear, I advocate a heel no higher than one and three- quarters inches. The pretties, with heels three inches or more, should be kept for times when you are not depending upon your feet to get you there! Or for dancing. Ignorance of fotft care is another offender to foot beauty. Regular treatments by a registered pedia­ trist. or a chiropodist, are strongly commended if you have the means, otherwise you must learn to exer­cise your feet at home, daily, and give them a pedicure at least once a week. Walk around bare footed or sandal shod, as frequently as possi­ble. and whenever you can (without drawing attention) sit with your feet resting higher than your body.

HINT-OF-THE-DAY Importance of Sleep There’s much wisdom in the ad­ vice of Kitty Carlisle, lovely sing­ ing star of the stage and screen: “Enough sleep and not too much alcohol—and you can keep your face looking 18 right up to the day you are 35." By way of taking her own medi­ cine, Miss Carlisle averages nine hours sleep a night. She is equally religious in her exercise and has de­ veloped her own method for specific exercises.“When I do an exercise that makes me sore, then I know I’ve hit the right muscles for that spot,” she explains. One of Miss Carlisle’s favorite ex­ercises is designed to benefit the arms and shoulders. You place one clenched fist in the palm of the other hand-and then , hold the hands at chest level, elbows out at either side. Push against resistance and force the hands first to one side, then to the other. As for keeping the waistline slim and the tummy fiat, here’s the ex­ ercise recommended by this star: Lie on the back on the floor with hands braced at either side, and flop both feet back over the head. Keep the knees straight, legs to­ gether, and slowly lower the feet back over the head until the toes are on the floor. The trick is to lower the legs very slowly, and if you can do that you are not so rusty on exercise after alL Return to the original position and repeat the ex­ ercise three times.

IEWSP APER ,Theyire the Smartest Ever By CHERIE NICHOLAS 'T'HE style program for midseason and the soon-to-follow spring definitely stresses the importance of apparel made of handsome colorful suede. A most significant achieve­ ment In the field of modern costume design is the use of suede in a fab­ric way. Time was when imagina­ tion carried only as far as novelty hats and bags, gloves and belts, and perhaps a few added acces­ sories. These small beginnings of suede are past history now. Today de­ signers are working with it as easily and creatively as if it were cloth or any other material. A dress, a coat, a jacket or blouse, in fact an en­ semble entire of this supple, ca- ressing-to-the-touch and superbly colorful medium is no longer a nov­ elty but a grand and glorious fact. Up to this season a dress of suede or a coat was more or less a lux­ ury. It’s going to be different this .year, for in anticipation of a wide­ spread vogue, leading shops and stores are featuring fashions that dress you in suede from tip to toe. And are these new suede clothes good looking! Just go to your near­ est dealer and ask to see the new­ est in suedes and you will have the answer. In these advance showings, day­ time dresses in delectable colors (suede takes dyes so beautifully) are tailored and dressmakered and style-detailed so artfully, you know then and there as you gaze on them you will never be satisfied until you own something of suede, per­ haps a frock with innumerable lit­tle pockets and a decorative dide­ fastener or a swagger coat that is tailored to. perfection or a bolero with the tie-sash that you can wear with any dress. Out Hollywood way the fashion alert colony has gone in wholeheart­ edly for suede apparel. A suede jacket, suede hat and suede blouse make up the striking casual cos­tume selected by Lynn Bari. See this ensemble pictured to the left in the illustration. The three-quar­ ter length coat of suede in a lus­ cious wineberry color has padded shoulders with four interesting pockets extending from the wide fold down the front. The 16-gore skirt is matched to the coat while the slide-fastened waistcoat is in pink suede. With this outfit Miss Bari wears open-toe wineberry call pumps. To brighten her black wool dress Eleanor Hansen wears a teal blue suede bolero with contrasting em­broidered motif and belt that ties. See this attractive two-piece shown to the right in the picture. The hat in the inset is of suede combined with felt. Mary Car­ lisle wears it. The felt part is in nut brown while the upward suede side is a mosaic rust tone to match a 14-inch long suede bag which is so capacious it carries everything. Suede evening fashions are thrill­ ing. A graceful cape of white suede trimmed in white fox makes a most beautiful evening wrap. A formal gown of delicate pink suede is be­witching. A long coat tailored of colorful suede with richly furred collar is eye-filling. Then there are charming jacket blouses of suede and waistcoats and boleros with bags and sash girdles to match and the latest is to add a whimsical muff of matching suede. You can get cunning and very inexpensive collar-and-cuff sets of suede to add a sure style touch to your sports outfit. These are swank to wear with your about-town shirt- maker frocks. • W eslsra Newspaper Union.

Soft Styling New Trend in Fashion An interesting movement among designers is that of styling the new dresses and likewise coats with ex­tra fullness. The dirndl skirt and the very new monastic silhouettes are ways of achieving the extra fullness. However many of the in­ coming costumes show a restrained handling of fullness that easily main­ tains coveted slenderness. It is not only skirts that are tak­ing on artful fullness. Fashion’s de­ mand for soft styling extends to waists and blouses and large full sleeves in both coat and dress. !Star D ust ★ Who’s Simple Simon? ★ In Royal Atmosphere ★ Cooper as Gen. John?

Whenever he wants to, Reginald Denny may visit at White Lodge, which was the girlhood home of Qneen Mary of England, and where the duke of Windsor was torn. Tbe home of British royalty for 200 years, it is the house to which the present king, when he was duke of York, took his bride. White Lodge has been leased by Mrs. Reynolds Albertini, who is Denny’s sister. Incidentally Barbara Denny, daughter of the famous Reginald, is getting to be a big girl now. She is breaking into the movies by being stand-in for Heather Angel. Jack Holt’s son is also getting somewhere in pictures. RKO has just signed him to a long-term con­ tract. His most recent pictures are Westerns, but he’s not worrying about being typed, as he did well in such pictures as “Gold Is Where You Find It” and “Stella Dallas” before he took to the wild West. It begins to look as if Gary Cooper would never escape from playing historical characters, once he be­ gins. At present he’s making “The Last Frontier,” but before long he’ll be playing Abraham Lincoln; he’s had photographs made, in make-up, and is delighted with the idea of playing the Great Emancipator (and should be better at it than the other movie actors who will probably tackle it).Meanwhile General John, about to write his autobiography, is said to have stated that he’d like to see Cooper in the role of the hero if it Is screened. As there is little, if any, resemblance between them, it must be that the General has al­ ways longed to look like a long-leg­ ged cowboy.

Some General Rules for Wise Eating at This Important lime By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS D ISTINGUISHED writers and sociologists, both here and abroad, have concerned themselves in recent years with the writing of a Children’s Charter and a Baby’s Bill of Rights. These efforts are commendable because they dem- . onstrate a forward-looking attitude . . . a genuine attempt to better the lot of the next generation. Indeed, they represent a concerted effort to do for 3 —--------------- children in general what mothers have always tried to do individually for their own children. Before a Baby Is Bom But not every mother realizes what all nutritionists know—that to a not inconsid­ erable degree, the very foundations of good health for the child are laid down before he is bora. For it has been well said that good nutrition for the in­ fant begins with good nutrition for the mother. U nfortunately, many people, even in this enlightened age, still cling to superstition and old wives’ tales when it comes to choosing the proper foods for those important months before a baby is bora. Some Common FallaciesAs a result, some expectant mothers overeat, frequently of the wrong kinds of food; others do not take enough of the foods that are required to maintain top health for the mother and build the baby’s body soundly; while still another group believes such antiquated notions as the idea that a woman may eat whatever she “craves” during this period. In view of the fact that recent nutrition work has given us more knowledge than ever before of how and what the expectant mother should eat, dietetic errors during this period are particularly deplor­able. Building Better Babies *■ Every expectant mother should be under the care of a physician, and usually he gives specific ad­ vice concerning the foods that may be eaten and those that might better be avoided. But every woman will be a better mother if she understands something of the functions and fate of foods, with particular reference to this ieriod. Don’t Overeat Generally speaking, the same foods that are required for a well- balanced diet under ordinary cir­ cumstances are the ones that will best serve the needs of mother and child during the months be­ fore a baby is bora. There are, however, certain modifications of the diet that may well be taken into consideration. First, a word about the amount of food consumed: It is not neces­ sary to eat more than is required to satisfy the normal appetite, in the belief that large quantities of additional food are needed. Nu­ tritionists have demonstrated that the energy requirements of the expectant mother increase only during the last three months of gestation. Thus, it is not neces­ sary to increase the caloric in­ take for the first few months, though toward the end of the pe­ riod a gradual'increase in caloric intake may be made under the direction of the physician. It is advisable, however, to emphasize that the character of the addition­ al food consumed, as well as the amount, should always be taken into consideration. It is important to pay special attention to the amount and kind of protein that is eaten, since over the entire period the baby grows tremendously, even though almost half of the weight of the new-born child is added during the final two months before birth. Recent investigations also indi­ cate that the prospective mother is best able to maintain her nu­ tritional reserve if the amount of protein in her diet is carefully calculated. It is desirable like­ wise that the protein be of the highest quality. Milk is even more important in the diet of the expectant mother than in that of other adults—not only for its protein, but because of its minerals and vitamins. As a rule, the expectant mother ShotUd take a quart of milk a day, whereas the usual diet for adults calls for a pint of milk daily. Minerals and VHamins In addition to requiring protein to help build tissue for her baby, the expectant mother must have a generous amount of minerals. Calcium and phosphorus are re­ quired especially for the forma­ tion of the baby’s bones and teeth. Construction begins on all the teeth before birth, and at birth, ail 20 of the first set are completely calcified within the jaw. Besides providing the necessary minerals to help construct bones and teeth, it is also important to include in the prospective moth­ er’s diet an adequate supply of vitamins. Vitamin ]> is essential if the calcium and phosphorus are to be utilized properly, and it has also' been indicated that vitamins A and C are likewise most impor­ tant at this time. The mineral iron is also re­ quired in significant amounts and this may well be obtained from - eggs, dried fruits, whole grain ce­ reals and green leafy vegetables. It has been found that the thyroid gland is unusually active in the expectant mother. And In those sections of the country where the drinking water and soil are de­ ficient in iodine, physicians fre­quently recommend the use of some food such as iodized salt. Adequate Bulk or Cellulose It is most desirable that enough bulky foods be included in the diet to help maintain regular health habits. This requirement should be tak­ en care of automatically if gener­ ous amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole grain cereals are con­ sumed. For in addition to their minerals and vitamins, all these, foods likewise supply bulk which aids in promoting regularity. The wide use of fruits and vege­ tables will also help to build up a liberal alkaline reserve, which helps to safeguard health during the period of gestation. If all these factors are taken into consideration, the expectant mother will not only help to pre­ serve her own health, but will take constructive measures to give her baby the blessings of a sound start in life. Then as the healthy, con­ tented infant grows into the healthy, happy, active toddler, and later becomes the healthy, well-adjusted school boy, the mother can indeed be proud of her handiwork!

A word to the wise should be sufficient. Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. Practically all of the democratic and Republican office holders in Davie corn'y, who can read and write, are taking The Davie Re­ cord. Every man who is interested in his home county of Davie should take The Record. Its mission is to help build up the county and ad­ vertise its advantages to the out­ side world. The New Dealers are predicting that the price of tobacco will drop as a result of the recent control election. The cotton control is still in force, but so far as we know, cotton hasn’t taken a big jump in price. There is one business man in Mocksville who declares that it doesn’t pay to adveitise. He hasn't used a line in Davie’s oldest news paper in a long, long time. His business is not growing as it should. Some of these days he will change his mind. The Record doesn’t carry wine, liquor or beer advertising. We have lost some business as a result of this policy, but will do our best to keep the paper going without asking our subscribers to buy in toxicating drinks.

A democratic friend wants to know why we use a small d in printing the word democrat, in­ stead of using a capital D. That is easily explained. We used a big D until Mr. Roosevelt repudiated the Democratic party in 1932. Since that time we use a big N and D in writing about the New Deal party, but a little d wben talking a- bout the party that once was but isn’t. Farmington News.

It’s Doctor Craig,” replied Hale. Kneeland made a quick decision. “All right, go to it.” He added, so artlessly that Hale laughed out, “I don’t like the fellow, anyhow.” “Thank you. Uncle Cass. There’s something else. I want a little in­ formation from you about Miss Kneeland’s will.” “Good Lord, what interests you about that?” Kneeland looked bored and a trifle irritated. “I don’t know,” Hale said honest­ly. “I suppose it’s all the stuff I’ve read about heiresses and their dan­ ger. But the thing sticks in my crop. I can’t forget it.” “I don’t mind telling you,” Knee- Iand said gravely, “that my son would inherit most of Joan’s estate if she died unmarried. He’s her next of kin, and they’ve been brought up like brother and sister. But Bert is no potential murderer, you young ass, if that’s what you’ve got in your crop.” “It isn’t,” Hale said promptly. “I’ve learned to know your son well enough to bet that it isn’t. Who else comes in for something?”“No one else comes in for any­ thing big. Of course Joan will change that will as soon as she mar­ ries. Neither Bert nor I ever took it seriously. She has left a fund for some scholarships in her college, and she’s given small legacies to half a dozen others that haven’t got much money. But if she died to­ morrow the big bulk would go to Herbert, who doesn’t need it. He’ll have all I’ve got—or at least I hope he will.”His plump face had taken on one of its sudden changes. He looked old and haggard. Rex spoke im­ pulsively. “Uncle Cass, why do you worry?” Kneeland shook his head. It was a slow, heavy movement. To Hale it recalled the exhausted, puzzled shake of the head which a bull in the ring indulges in when he is worn out and his torturers are clos­ ing around him. “That’s something else again,” Kneeland said despondently. “I don’t want to talk about it, my boy. Anything else you’d like to know?” There was much, but Rex real­ ized that this was not the time for further questioning. He said good­night and ran up to his room. 'In bed, he was wakeful and uneasy. He thumped his pillows, stretched, turned, thumped again. He want­ ed to be at Halcyon Camp. He told himself he wanted the coolness there and the sound of the waves on the beach. But it was not alone the desire for these things, nor the heat, that kept him awake till dawn. His first visit the next morning was to the fingerprint bureau. The prints were ready for him, together with a languid exposition which he took in with an intelligence that slightly mellowed his instructor. ‘TH be sending you some more of these,” Hale murmured as the discourse ended, He paid for them, and went back to the blistering streets. He walked along them wrestling with a temptation. There were.stiU things he could do In town. He could lunch at the Engineers’ Club that noon and. perhaps encounter some more old friends who might be useful. Stuyvesant’s guest card had reached him in the morning mail. Good old Stuyvesant. Evi­ dently he had telephoned the club as soon as he got back to his office and had suggested this grati­ fying briskness of action. He could do these things and still take the half past four o’clock train for the Camp. On the other hand, he had a persistent and unreasonable urge to get back. The fact increasingly disturbed him. He found he was worried about Joan Kneeland, and the sensation was absurd. She could be in no danger. No one at Halcyon Camp would profit by her death ex­ cept young Kneeland, and he was convinced that whatever was riding Kneeland it was not a guilty con­ science or a murderous impulse. Was he himself falling deeper in love with the girl? Was this ur­ gency merely a lover’s desire to be with her? That, too, was idiotic. Nevertheless every impulse in him urged him toward Halcyon Camp. It was only nine o’clock. He could get a train that would deposit him there before noon—while the whole crowd was bathing on the beach. While the whole crowd was bathing on the beach! A sudden thought struck him. The next instant he had caught a passing bus by the elbow, as it were, and was riding toward the Pennsylvania Station. Fortunately he had given George a dollar that morning. No farewells were necessary. George would be a faithful custodian of Ids soap, his comb, his remaining ra­ zors. . Arriving at the now familiar Long Island station a few minutes after eleven he discovered with satisfac­tion, tbs Nash Cub was there. “Want to be a Good Samaritan and give me a lift?” Hale asked the boy. The Cub briefly asserted that he did. As they started, it developed that he was interested in bull fights. Had Hale seen any? Hale had, and made his descriptions sufficiently gory. The charm of his conversa­ tion cramped young Nash’s care­ free driving and made the journey an affair of fifteen minutes instead of six. But Hale was satisfied. When he approached the house he saw the Halcyon Camp contingent down on the beach or in the water. His eyes were good and he counted its mem­ bers. Miss Hosanna, Joan Knee­land and Bert were lying on the shore. Three figures in die water looked like Mrs. Spencer Forbes, Craig and Ainsworth. He hurried up to his room, meeting no one on the way. He seized the pair of binoculars he had brought from the other side, and trained them on the water. Mrs. Spencer Forbes cer- for many hours. He picked it up, strode out of his room, and carried it upstairs to the door of the labora­ tory. He did not take the trou­ ble to use his skeleton key. He had no wish to re-enter the room. He merely laid Daisy down on its outer threshold and turned to de­ scend the short staircase. As he did so he stopped and stiffened. Two steps below him Craig stood, quivering with fury, as erect and as deadly eyed as the sketched co­ bra. He spoke at once, in a tone he vainly tried to make quiet and steady.“May I ask,” he said, "why you’re putting that dead thing at my door?” Hale met steadily the look of the eyes that burned up at him in the dark passageway. “Of course you may,” he said cheerfully. “I’m bringing the poor thing home to roost.” He had only just time to steady himself, to throw out his arms and I £ I ’ll be sending you some more of these,” Hale murmured. tainly. Craig, yes. He was almost sure the figure near them was Ains- worth’s. Anyway, he would chance it. Without further hesitation he left his room, glanced iip and down the upper hall, and made straight for Craig’s eyrie on the floor above. It was locked. He had known it would be and had provided himself with a convenient gadget to meet such disappointments. Under his manip­ ulation the lock snapped back with amazing ease. The next instant he had closed and relocked the door behind him and was standing in the middle of the laboratory. Craig’s laboratory was a small but admirably fitted workshop. Its gleaming whiteness, its immaculate neatness, its shining glass shelves and bottles, above all the complete­ ness of its equipment, surprised the visitor. At right angles to the extra win­ dow was a long work-table, with a chair that could be adjusted to any angle of convenience. Another ta­ble with a porcelain top stood near some locked metal containers. These probably held the grewsome specimens Doctor Craig was able to procure from his hospital. A row of book-shelves filled one wall space. A white porcelain sink filled a corner. The desk table revealed a little heap of pen and ink draw­ ings. One of these Hale promptly picked up with his pincers and put in an envelope he had brought with him. Hale had no desire to look into the vats. He knew the sort of thing they contained. He opened the door to the room’s one bookcase and made a rough inventory of its con­ tents. Aside from the sketches, and the titles and book notes, his visit had not yielded very much. Never­ theless he was making rapid prog­ress, and he knew it. He returned to his room and for a few minutes stood before one of its windows, hands in his pockets, eyes on the sea, thinking out his proced­ ure. The Kneeland group was still on the beach, but he hardly saw it. He finally turned toward his bathroom, with the intention of changing his travel-stained clothes and generally freshening up before luncheon. It was on the short jaunt across his bedroom that he had his second en­ counter with Daisy. This took place at about the point where he had seen her before. It was a more startling encounter, for now Daisy was no longer a beautiful, black, silky creature, weaving around his legs and purring up at him in friend­ ship. Daisy would, never weave around any legs again. Daisy was dead, and she had died in agony. Hale stared down at her. A rage out of all proportion to its cause surged up in him, almost blinding him by its strength. For an* in­ stant he hardly saw the pathetic thing at his feet. Then he bent and touched it. It had been dead catch Craig, as the lajter sprang upward at him. The attack was wholly unexpected. He had known Craig would be furious. He had not foreseen that he would attack him like a madman. Yet this was exactly what Craig was doing. The force of his impact sent Hale to the floor, dragging Craig with him. The next instant the two men were roll­ ing and clawing like wild animals on the small landing. Hale was amazed by Ws opponent’s strength. The conflict was not a fair one. Hale was a much larger man. He had also the obvious advantage of posi­tion. But it took several minutes and all his strength to conquer the struggling, clawing thing beneath him. He did it at last. He sat on the other man’s body, gasping for breath. Simultaneously he released Ws grip of Craig’s throat. “That was a damned silly per­formance,” he gasped out when he could speak. He had expected an­ other outburst, possibly another struggle. But Craig lay still, to an accompaniment of unpleasant sounds, as he tried to get air into his lungs. Hale took pity on him and said no more. He also moved from his victim’s stomach to his legs, but watched him warily. “Damn you, get oft me,” Craig brought out at last. “With pleasure, when you prom­ ise that you won’t start another rough-house.” “All right,” Craig muttered. Hale got up at once. Craig pulled himself to a sitting position and braced his back against the wall. He was still breathing with great diffi­ culty. “Can I help you to your feet?” Hale asked.“No. Let — me — alone — you — hound.” “Tut, tut, we mustn’t have talk like that. It annoys me.” . Craig stared up at him. His black eyes were horribly congested, but there was still fire in them. “You — wouldn’t — be — so — cocky—if—you—were—up against a man—your own—size,” he gasped. Hale was outraged. “What do you expect?” he explod­ ed. “You attacked me without warm ing. Did you think I was going to hold up my hands and smile while you did a vivisection on me?” Craig continued to stare up at him. Hale waited, watching him. At last Craig made an effort to rise. Hale helped him, and this time he accepted the aid without protest. Once on his feet, and still with some difficulty, he got a key­ ring out of his pocket, selected a key, and unlocked the door. “Go in there,” he ordered. Hale grinned.“Is this a nice, polite invitation?” he asked with interest. ‘Tm fussy about such things.” Craig was rapidly pulling himself together. He even tried to smile. “All right, Goliath,” he said more naturally. “That was a silly per­ formance of ours, as you say. Just the same I want a little chat with you before we part, if you have time.” “I’ll be charmed.” Hale passed him and strode into the room. “Don’t forget Daisy,” he suggested, as Craig was follow­ing him over the threshold. Craig made no reply. He closed the door, motioned Hale to a chair, then he dropped into his desk chair. “Those last remarks of yours were eye-openers,” Craig began. “I want to discuss them a bit.” “All right. Which remarks were they? I always try to be clear in my statements,” Rex added mod­estly. “You’re clearer in your state­ ments than you are in your mind,” Craig muttered. He looked quite natural now, aside from a red throat and a torn collar. “That’s why you’re here, if you want to know.. I am going to correct a fool idea you have.” “That’s good of you.” Hale waited. “You think I poisoned that cat,” Craig went on wearily. “You bet I do. You poisoned it. Then you brought it down to my room.” “Now, why should you imagind I’d do that? I don’t poison animals. I don’t vivisect them, either.” “Says you.” Hale knew that he was not shin­ ing in the dialogue. He was handi­ capped by a sudden but strong im­ pression that the man facing him was telling the truth. He got up and stood looking at the other man, who did not move. Craig was trying to force his hand. Hale was not yet ready for a show-down. He thought quickly. “If you didn’t poison that cat and leave it in my room,” he went on, “who did? You must admit that you’re the obvious suspect. It seems that two other pets died mysterious­ ly before I came here.” “They were run over,” Craig snapped contemptuously. “They may have been. Then again they may not. You say you didn’t poison Daisy. To my sur­ prise, I’m inclined to believe you.” "Thanks.” Hale ignored the comment and the tone. (TO BE CONTINUED) Depredations of Rabbite Cosf Farmers Of Great Britain $250,000,000 a Year Although the British farmer is complaining that he cannot dispose of his hay, the rabbit did its best to cut short the crop. “Forty of them,” writes Patrick Murphy in the Daily Mail of London, “eat as much grass as a good dairy cow.” Moreover, according to this writer, “every year rabbits cost farmers and landowners £50,000,000 (about $250,000,000).” Consequently, the British rabbit, like the gray squir­ rel, has been placed “on the spot.” In extenuation it is added: “There are whole areas of Wales wherejgood fields have been turned into derelict, useless land by their activities. I know of one farm in Wesh Sussex, one of the worst af­ fected areas, where 2,000 rabbits were shot and trapped last winter, though the farm is only a little over 100 jacres in size. They are a men­ ace) to successful farming In many par,ts of the country. “Apart from the. direct damage to grasslands and the awful destruc­ tion they create among com crops aril garden produce, wild rabbits aip one of the. most fruitful causes ofjcoccidiosis, a disease which deci­ mates whole flocks of poultry. “The wild rabbit is, however, the poor man’s chicken, and its exter­ mination would do away with a great supply of cheap and palatable food. There are vast areas of farm­ ing country, particularly in the west, where rabbits are counted upon to pay the rent. These farm­ ers would undoubtedly oppose the idea of exterminating the rabbit.” The Nine Muses The muses were, according to the classic mythology, the nine daugh­ ters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Orig­ inally they were goddesses of mem­ory only, but they came later to be identified with individual arts and sciences. The nine, with their re^ spective attributes, were Calhope, presiding over eloquence and heroic poetry, chief of the muse’s; Clio, muse of heroic exploits and history; Euterpe, presiding over music; Thalia, gayety, pastoral life, and comedy; Melpomene, song har­ mony, and tragedy; Terpsichore, choral dan.ce and song; Erato, the lyre and erotic poetry; Polyhymnia, ’ oratory and the sacred lyric; Ura­ nia, celestial phenomena and astron­ omy.

D. >ean of The Moody Bible Listitute of Chicago- © Western Newspaper Union* Lesson for January 15 Lesson subjects and Scrtpture texts ad­jected and copyrighted by f InternatioiMi Council of Religious Education; used by permission.PETER SEES CHRIST’S GLORY LESSON TEXT-Matthew 17:1-9, 14-18. GOUlEN TEXT—We beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten ol the Father. —John 1:14. Service in the name of Christ can be nothing but an empty formality, and a disappointing experience of one's inability really to help anyone, unless it is backed by a vision of the Saviour in all His glory. To Peter, whose life we are studying, there came such an experience as he went with the Lord to the Mount of Transfiguration. We cannot duplicate that day of days in his life in any physical sense, but we may, yes we must, withdraw to that quiet place where we may spiritually see Him whose we are and whom we serve as our transcendent Lord. I. A Vision of Glory (w. 1-9). 1. A mountain-top experience (w. 1-3).Too much of the daily life and walk of Christians is in the valley. We need now and then to come up to the high places where we may be spiritually renewed. Jesus is ready to take us as He did the three dis­ ciples, “up into a high mountain apart.” We may not be able to move our bodies, but our spirits may soar to sublime heights with Him. There He will reveal Him­ self in all His glory. 2. A mistaken attitude (v. 4). Whether Peter was confused by the remarkable experience, or if it was but another expression of his unfortunate tendency to talk when he should be quiet, we do not know. But. he is a representative of those who miss the supreme blessing of such a priceless moment by trying to tell God what should be done. Had Peter’s suggestion been ac­ cepted by our Lord there would nev­ er have been any redemption for the human race. Sin and sorrow would have reigned supreme in the earth, while he and his brethren enjoyed a season of fellowship with Moses and Elias and their Lord. 3. A divine testimony (w . 5-7). God spoke and scattered the con­ fusion of men’s thinking by declar­ ing the deity of Jesus, “This is my beloved Son,” and His supremacy, “Hear ye him.” We live in days of theological and philosophical confu­ sion. We struggle in vain to resolve the moral chaos which has resulted from erroneous teaching by any arguments or by the devices of men. Let us appeal to the Word of God. It is plain, powerful, “sharper than a two-edged sword.” 4. A glorious result (w. 8, 9). “They saw no man save Jesus only.” H. A Call to Service (w. 14-18). Service should never precede vision. Vision is given as a prep­ aration for service. I. A needy soul (w. 14, 15). We live in a world of such des­ perate need that even the confirmed “all’s well with the world” optimists are beginning to see that their rose- colored glasses cannot make them oblivious to its sin and sorrow. Tlie boy was sick; his father was in despair; and these two things just about sum up‘the need of most of humanity. 2. Impotent Christian workers (w. 16, 17). The man brought his son to the place where he had a right to ex­ pect help—to the followers of Christ. But he found them without faith to help him. Little wonder then that those around them were still in per­ verse unbelief. We who profess to follow Christ, and especially those of us who say that we are His serv­ ants, should be ashamed of our im­potent gestures toward our needy fellow men. There is power with God, power in prayer, power in de­ voted and faithful service to Christ. Let us claim it! 3. The omnipotent Saviour (v. 18). Jesus spoke, and the demon de­parted. The absolute supremacy of our Lord appears not only on the mount of glory, but shines even more brightly in the valley of need. Words do not suffice to describe Him, and yet we must by both word and life proclaim Him to the world as its living Lord and Saviour. 4. A glorious result (v. 18). “The child was cured from thatvery hour.” Here is no partial solution, no hope to help you” effort to meet man’s.need. Jesus met the boy’s full need and at that very hour. Just so we may tell the sinner that he may come to the Saviour with the full assurance that his sin will be put away, and that by faith he will become a child of God.

The state crop reporting service comes up with statistics showing that tobacco growers of North Caro­ lina have received $23 500.000 Uss tar their product this year than they recieved in 1937. Since the price paid for tobacco this season has averaged around 23 cents for the state, this being only one cent less than the average for last year, it i9 evident that the loss has not been wholly due to price. The pieces in the puzzle begin to fit together when it is observed that the production for 1937 was 13 per cent, larger than the volume for this year. The farmers not only got one cent IeFS per pound on the average for tobacco this vear but they had 13 per cent, less poundage to place on the market Just why tobacco sold for more without benefit of the control system in 19S7 than it did under control in 1938 is conjectural, but it mighf have been due to depleted stocks and an expanded foreign market which having the same end results as con­ trol. Hence, it would not be safe to jump to the conclusion that because tobacco sold at a good price for one season would not be safe to jump to conclusion that because tobacco sold ac a good price for one season with­ out benefit of the program, this would be the rule for all seasons heretofore. Before the AAA. tobac- ci reached almost unprecedented lows, and it may do so again unless an ever-expanding market or some form of control influences the price —Twin-City Sentinel.

To­ bacco farmers voted in opposition to continuing the ptovisions of con­ trol legislation. Dire predictions are being made in connection with the future of to­ bacco farmers. On the other hand, it is claimed that the cotton grow­ ers, as a result of having voted in favor of control, are now occupying a most favorable position. But let’s see if they are. Let us presume that you are a cotton farmer. Tbe Government tells you tbat you mnst plant mucb less cotton than you have been do ing in the past. If you plant more than the Government says, you must plow it up or pay a penalty. The Government turther says that you cannot expand in the protection of hogs, cattle, poultry and dairy products. What are you going to do to make a living for your family? What are your children going to do under a Government that tells you that you must not plant enough cotton to get along on and tbat you cannot plant anything else? Farm leaders recently have been making the statement that cotton farmers must make a living in some other way, but he did' not say in what way they should make a liv­ ing. It does you no good to be told tbat you must make a living. It does you no good to be told that you must make a change, unless someone specifies what that change shall be. Your children are growing up s- round you, and you had hoped tbat they would be able to live on your farm, but under the present law they cannot live on the farm. What are you going to do about them? You probably had hoped to leave your farm to your children, think­ ing that it would take care of them, but you are beginning to see now that it will not. It does not help you to be told that your children must learn how to make a living some other way. As you look out into the world, you see where there are ten or ele­ ven million people unemployed. You do not want your children to join that army. If the Government- would let you alone, you could make a living on your farm, just as your father did, and your grandfather did, and your great-grandfather did. But the Government won’t let you alone. -If Secretary Wallace and other farm leaders who are advocating control so strenously would tell you what you should do, it might help, but up to the present they haven’t done so. Naturally, you do not want to be merely told that you must make a living in some other way is:—The State. b “Papa” At 77 Granite Falls:—George , Corpen ing, seventy-seven, a farmer of the Grace Chapel community in Cald­ well county, near here is the father of an infant son, born December 29.

Ward, In Johnson County News} For about ten years now there's been something wrong in this great country of ours and something that has been hard remedy, iu fact, it basn,t been remedied. In spite of ail kinds of pumpprim- tng many forms of relief, much non productive work, various control measures and socialistic schemes the country cannot pull out of the depths into, which it plunged ten years ago. The people seem desperate and know not what to turn to next. They are ever'ready to jump trom the frying pan into the fire, so to :peak. Anything, tbat may perhaps restore some condfience and better the condition of a bewildered peo­ ple. When some kind of control is suggested the farmers accept it. Then when it doesn,t work they re­ ject it. Things in general are about as bad as in ,3 3. Perhaps worse if there were no pumppriming and political scheming with the tax­ payers, money. What made this country is what much maintain it if it remains a free country, and that is for the people to handle the business end of the country without interference of the government, and for the government to carry on the gover­ ning end of the country by the sup. port of the people.

Champion Liair Of 1938 Chicago.—Au incredible story a bout fishing—famed for its tall tales, —and barking dogfish, gave Gil* bert Boettcher, twenty-seven-year- old Milwaukee filling station at­ tendant, the title today of world’s chamion for 193S, as guaged by the (Burlington (Wis.)

The new king of prevaricators was selected Sunday night at the club’s tenth annual meeting and he came from Milwaukee to read his championship-winning lie. It was: “I was working on a fishing boat out of New . Orleans. We came in early one day, and had such good luck that we decided to go out agaip. We got our second load of fish and as we started back, we ran out of coal. Thinking quickly as usual I told the crew to get some dogfish in a spare tank. When we had a tankful. I had one man tickle the dog fish until they barked. Then I had a couple of men throw the bark into the boiler. So we all got back to shore, safe and sdhnd! ’ The Hell You Say.” Raleigh.—Want to get in a little game? , - North Carolina women are going to hold 50 bridge parties Saturday afternoon as fund raisers to help wipe out the deficit of the national Democratic executive committee.

(Pennsylvania Farmer) Those who want the government to establish the prlicy of fixing prices on agricultural proeucts ate overlooking at least one important fret. It is that tie vast majority of the voters of this country are consumers of these pronucts and naturally want to buy then as cheap as possible. If the policy of price- fixing is established some this majority will support level just as some dry this majority will support the fixing of prices below the na­ tural level just as some producers now demand fixing them above that level.. The best price-fixer, and the only proper one, is the open market, where prices are the condensed ex pression of all conditions affecting them and of all opinions about them. Some City Ordinances.

Let’s Keep Our Heads. The suggested program for re rrmament at Washington seems- to be ’growing larger and larger with each passing week.

The President is reported study- iig a recommendation for the cm- struction of the largest of all war ships a super - superdreadnaught that is to cost us something like $100,000,00 0. Let it be pointed out that a bil­ lion and a half dollars, vet even a lot of money. It can come from but one pocket, that of the tax- piyer., And the longer that we, who must foot the bill, consider the monster sums being mentioned, the more are we convinced that there are not only super-super dread naughts, but also super-super fopl- ishness.— Ex. Might As Well Face The Facts. (Frank P. Holland, Dallas, Texas) Secretary Wallace, as the agent of the government, purchased 100, 0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bushels of wheat from A- nierican farmers and paid them the prevailing market price. By offer­ ing European buyers a bargain, the secretary hoped that he could export the wheat thus purchased and relieve the congestion in Ameri­ ca. Thus far (November).the se­ cretary has only succeeded in dis­ posing of 13,9 1 7 ,0 0 0 bushels, and took a loss of 11.9 cents per bushel, which will come out of the Ameri­ can taxpayers’ pockets. This exderience should convice those who favor the export deben­ ture plan that European nations will not scand for auy move to dump our products into their laps at any price. It should^be con­ vincing to those who argue for the domestic allotment plan that Europe will not buy our products at the world price unless they can not find a similar product'in countries where tariff restrictions do not prohibit an exchange of goods. There are other obstacles to hur­ dle. In an effort to encourage home production, European nations have established quotas and their own tariff barriers which practical­ ly prohibit importations in any con­ siderable amount. It was not many yearn ago when American wheat growers were feeding wheat to hogs. The market was down to 25 cents per bushel. It could hardly be given away, yet there was no European demand. France only permitted the millers of ihat coun try to use 10 per cent of foreign wheat and imposed.a tariff of $1.76 per bushel. Other nations follow­ ed suit, You could not give A, merican wheat away, although Euronean consumers were on short rations The prospects for exports of wheat, tobacco, rice and cotton for the next several months are very slim. World stocks are large, es­ pecially in cotton. Tbe world would not suffer for cotton if the produc tion were c' iscontinued for an entire season. In face of these facts, it is hard to understand why some farm­ ers are demanding increased quotas. One musbmake up his mind that from this time on no farmer can live on cotton alone. Republican Leader Pro­ mises to Restore Balance Washington.-A pledge to restore "balanced constitutional govern­ ment in the next two years came today from Representative Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts, new leader of the increased Repub­ lican ranks in the house.

A Banner B & L Year. Officials of the North Carolina BuiIdingand Loan League call 1938 a banner year for building, savings and loan associations of this State and contend that the prospects are bright for continued business ex. pansion during 1939. It is said that a substantial gain in assets will be shown by practi­ cally all of the associations in the State, indicating not only the full confidence of the investing public, but a reasonably favorable level ot prosoeritv. For in many cases the money has been pouring in faser than applications for loans. This favorable report from the buil­ ding and loan associations is signi­ ficant. These organizations have been and are playing an important part in community progress in Nor* th Carolina. In the first place they offer a channel of safe investment; a safety and soiinduess that has been established by a long recotd of service without loss.'* But the building and loan agen­ cies provide something more than safe investment. The dollars, all of them, are used for community advancement, for they go out thro­ ugh losal channels to craftsmen, building supply dealers, insurance, house furnishing industries, iabor- eis, and all other businesses that depend upon borne construction.— Ex.

(From The Shelby Star) The mayor of Cambridge, Mass., has uncovered what he describes as "shocking" conditions in the mat­ ter of relief to the needy in his city. The conditions he describe*, of re­ lief rolls filled with chriselers, ot fictitious addresses, of preying upon public funds, indeed are shocking. But are they unique. Do they exist only in Cambridge? - His disclosures should lead the officials of other cities and counties of the nation to investigate and to determine to just what extent these cbiselers are operating in the re­ lief setup. Mayor John W. Lvon, of Cam­ bridge, has promised action upon the conditions in his city. Court charges are to be made, he declared upon his discovery that 235 persons out of 8 0 0 chosen at random from tbe relifct rolls have no right tb the benefits. That means that 235 per­ sons who need relief have been dis­ placed or are unable to obtain aid. Some of tbese, the mayor' pointed out, have enjoyed steady employ­ ment for many years. He added that addresses given by others' re­ ceiving benefits have been found to be vacant lots or'unoccupied build­ ings, and some were found to. be occupying "beautiful apartments.’’ As a means of weeding out these who are receiving benefits impro­ perly, the Cambridge mayor has or­ dered re-registration of all relief clients. Futther 1 he declares tbat he will follow up with prosecutions of those he charged with “larceny’’ of public funds.’’ The position of this aggressive mayor should meet the approval of a decent public.- His example should be followed wherever relief is dispensed. If these conditions are true in Cambridge they may be found to.be truein other cities of the United States. His dis­ closures ceitainiy should prompt public officials to probe without fear and without, favor for it is a despicable man who will claim re­ lief when he has; a job, who will deny that relief ;to some deserving person. to SKUs ’EM, TELL ’EM- With AaMi rX THE DAYIE RECORD, MOCESVILLE, N.

DAK. n T I P S t o C r a r d e n e r s Special Gardens VfANY hobbyists get pleasure from special gardens. Some have been successful with all- marigold, or all-petunia gardens. Marigolds are available in a -wide variety of sizes and shapes and provide a golden-brown garden scene of unusual richness. Petunias have a wide range of color, and more and more they are being used for cut Sowers as well as for garden color and beauty. Some have grown gardens pri­ marily for fragrance. The best flowers for such a garden, accord­ ing to Harry A. Joy, flower ex­ pert, are alyssum, carnation, mignonette, nicotiana, sweet pea and sweet william. For a garden of plants without actual flowers but with showy foli­ age, interesting results have been obtained with the following: Jo­ seph’s coat, coleus, dusty miller, snow - on - the - mountain, annual poinsettia, kochia and castor oil bean. The following will, fit well into a typical wildflower garden: Annual lupin, bachelor button, rudbeckia (cone flower), columbine, peren­ nial aster, heuchera (coral bells), and perennial upin.

I n c .WKDhnIa CHAPTER V-Contbmed —11 ~ 'Xeaving the dead cat in my room was evidently an after-inspiration,” Hale went on thoughtfully. “It.was the inspiration of someone who is making a determined effort to an­ noy me, in all sorts of nasty ways. 'Whosoever is doing it doesn’t want to hurt me—at least not yet. He may get ’round to that. Just now it looks like a fool effort to scare me off. But when it comes to Daisy, we’ve got to admit that she’s been poisoned. I want to know why. I want to know who did it. It would help, me to understand a lot of things.” “You want to understand a lot of things, don’t you?" Craig asked smoothly. “I do. Before I get through, I shall.” Their eyes met and held for a moment. Then Craig smiled his thin-lipped smile. “Perhaps," he said gently. “But you won’t if you jump at conclu­ sions the way you did this morn­ ing. If I were a malefactor in this household, your findings on that epi­ sode would reassure me very much.” Hale returned the smile. “Then get what comfort out of it you can,” he said very deliberately. He carried from the room an un­pleasant memory of Craig’s raised eyebrows and inscrutable expres­sion. On the outer landing he stopped with a slight exclamation. The mor-. tal remains of Daisy had dis­ appeared. He looked around care­ fully. The. cat’s body might have been pushed off the landing and down the stairs during his brief but spirited combat with Craig. There was no sign of it now, either on the staircase or on the floor below. He tapped on the laboratory door, pushed it partly open, and put his head around the side. Craig was sit­ ting exactly as he had left him. “The late lamented is no longer lying here in state,” Hale reported. “What do you suppose has happened to her?” Craig came to the door and looked around. “I suppose someone carried her away," he submitted. “But who did? We heard no foot­ steps, no dead march, no sounds of lamentation.” “What’s your theory?" Craig was again smiling. The smile irritated Hale, and at the same time sent a slight chill down his back. So would that cobra have smiled, if cobras could smile. “Having eight lives left I suppose Daisy got up and went about her business,” Hale said curtly. Hale felt sore, both physically and mentally, as he descended the lab­ oratory staircase and returned to his own room. Aunt Hosanna greeted his return to the camp with hospitable warmth. Mrs. Spencer Forbes was openly enthusiastic. Bert gave him a perfunctory nod and did not speak at all during luncheon. Hale was shocked by the young man’s condi­ tion. Every muscle in his face seemed twitching and his eyes were those of a tortured animal. Hale’s lips set. With Herbert EiieeIand matters were certainly approaching a crisis. Joan Kneeland’s manner was non­ committal, but she gave Rex a thrill after luncheon. They, were on the front sun porch, seated in the ham­ mock side by side, smoking and drinking their coffee. - Discovering that they were out of hearing by the others, Joan spoke in a low tone. “I’m glad you’re-back,” she said. ‘Tm glad you’re glad.” Hale’s tone was matter-of-fact, but his heart had jumped. “I was sorry when you went yes­ terday morning. I really hated to see you go.” This was rather overwhelming. If Mrs. Spencer Forbes had said it Rex would have made some airy reply. Now he merely looked into Joan Kneeland’s eyes—which had deep circles under them today—and waited. He knew there was some­ thing coming and that it would not be sentimental. "You see,” Joan went on in the same low voice, “I was afraid.” Hale held her eyes. “Afraid, Joan? What of?” “I don’t know. That’s the worst of it. I suppose it’s merely tired nerves. Doctor Craig keeps telling me it is. Anyway, I’m afraid of something all the time. I was in a panic yesterday evening. Last night—" she stopped. “Yes,” Hale prompted gently. “What about last night?” “I suppose I had a nightmare.” “What sort of a nightmare?” “I thought there was someone in my. room—someone horrible! I had been awfully wakeful and edgy. It had taken me a long time to fall asleep, but I finally did. Then I seemed to wake suddenly. The room was dark but there was a little moonlight—just enough to show me a figure and the face. It was a hor­ rible face,” she repeated, and shud­ dered, "familiar in a way—but aw­ ful. I tried to scream. I couldn’t. It vanished when I sat up. It was one of those dreams where you know just where you are. I could see dearly the furniture in my room. I saw the door open and dose. There is always a night- light in the hall. I was sure then I was awake. But today I’m just as sure it was a dream. It must have been!” “Can’t you tell me who was in the dream?” “No, I don’t really know. It had a resemblance to someone . .." She stopped. “Can’t you even tell me who it looked like?" “No, for I’m not sure. It couldn’t have been—” she broke off abrupt­ ly. “I’m talking like a fool.” “You know at least whether you were dreaming of a man or a wom­an," Rex persisted. “No, I don’t. It had on a bath­ robe or a dressing-gown. It was large and shapeless and shadowy- all but that face, which was so ter­ rible and so dose to me. It was either bending over , me or bending over the little table at the head of ment was surprising. The woman turned white. “What happened?” she asked, al­ most in a whisper. Hale answered with matter-of-fact directness. ‘I don’t know when she died,” he explained. “She was very dead when I found her in my room this noon.” “You found her in your room!” Mrs. Nash seemed unable to be­lieve this. “Yes, she was there when I got back from New York. -It’s very evi­ dent there is someone at Hedcyon Camp who doesn’t want me there. I’ve been subjected to annoyances and even threats ever since I came. I don’t take them seriously but—” he shrugged. “I suppose whoever is back of it all thought a poisoned cat would be an unpleasant thing to find in one’s room. It was.” “She was poisoned, the*?” Mrs. Nash thought a moment and added slowly. “She would be.” Hale leaned forward. “Mrs. Nash, why would she be?” Helen Nash shook her head. “I don’t know anything. I sus­pect things—” “What do you suspect?" “I shouldn’t speak of it. I have no proofs. I haven’t any real evi- I Every muscle in Us face seemed-twitching. my bed. There was a line of moon­light across the room. I noticed that after the door had closed. I was certainly awake then.” “What did you do?” “I got up and locked the dor.” “You don’t mean you leave- your door unlocked at night?”“Not always, but I must have done it last night. I can't remem­ ber.” “What did you do then?” “I went back to bed. What else could I do?” Her voice shook on the words. At the sotmd Hale felt his heart turn to water. “If you had been in the house,” she went on, “I think Fd have crossed the hall and waked you.” She hadn’t awakened young Knee- land, or Craig, or even her Uncle. Hale’s heart beat faster. Then she spoiled the effect of it all. “XJnde Cass said I could trust you,” she brought out. It was a douche of cold water. It was to the amateur detective she was appealing, then, and not to the man. The rainbow that had arched across Hale’s sky only a moment before faded to a dull gray. He said only, “I'll do anything I can for you, at any time.” It was a banal ending to a singularly exciting five- minute chat. He gave some thought to that nightmare. He was sure it was only a nightmare. Why should anyone go into Joan’s room at that hour? What should anyone want there? Who would take the big risk of of being discovered there? Yes, of course,- it was a nightmare. But Joan would keep her door locked hereafter and he himself would re­ double his watchfulness. He had much to think of that aft­ ernoon and evening. No comment was made by anyone on Daisy’s tragic end. Banks and Rose went about their work as usual. To Hale both seemed rather subdued. Life had soft-pedaled their music. He was not in a mood for Ifirs. Spen­cer Forbes’ chatter. He went for * walk in the woods. Coming out in the clearing that held Mrs. Nash’s Capip 1 he made one of his frequent informal calls on that hospitable lady. Today Mrs. Nash , gave Hale iced tea and mentioned a barn dance she had attended’' the night before. He told her he''had seen a new comedy' in New1 York, and they talked about that. Then he made a casual remark/“I suppose yjpu know Daisy is no more,” he slid. The effect oik the simple state- dence. But I’m beginning to suspect that there’s at least one person at Halcyon Camp who/won’t stop at anything.” Hale nodded gloomily. “I’m considering that possibility, too.” His companion hesitated, then brought out a question. “How about Bert?” Hale’s eyes dropped. “Yes,” he repeated slowly, “how about Bert?" “I admit I’m a bit in the air about Bert,” Mrs. Nash confessed. “He’s a young fellow at the end of his tether. There’s got to be a rea­son for that.” “It doesn’t appear that he needs money,” Rex suggested. “He’ll have all his father has.” "He will have to wait a long time for it. Don’t forget that. Cas­ per Kheeland is in the prime of life. He may live to be eighty. Besides, he has the reputation of being very dose in some ways. You’ve noticed that, and heard of it, perhaps.” “He has the oddest attacks of economy, too. He lives like a prince in some ways, but he has most of his 'wet goods’ and groceries shipped from a bargain store in New York because our local prices are too high. The result, of course, is that the.local tradesmen hate him. On the other hand, he gives gener­ ously to our churches and our local charities. He is full of the oddest contradictions,” she went on. ‘"He gave Bert a five thousand dollar mo- tor-boat last year. He let him spend over a thousand this year fixing up a laboratory for Doctor Craig. Yet he doesn’t give the boy a de­ cent allowance. Wilbur says that Bert often has to borrow a few dol­ lars from him, because he’s so [short of cash.’’“I hadn’t seen .Uncle Cass.for years till I turned up this summer. There was nothing close about him when I was a kid.” Hale was re­ calling his agreement with Knee- land. He was getting his board, his room, and a hundred dollars a month. James Banks was probably receiving as much. A hundred dol­ lars a month was not a liberal sal­ ary, even in depression times, for an experienced young civil engineer who had been earning ten thousand a year. But he was not engineering now, and he was glad to have that hundred dollars a month and his comfortable quarters at the Camp. In return for them, however, he was acting as secretary, amateur sleuth, and game leader. The reflection reminded him that he had been neg­lecting his social duties. He got up to go. “I’m supposed to lead the gaie­ties at Halcyon Camp,” he con­fessed. “It takes some doing. There isn’t much co-operation. Tonight I must brighten the dinner table and start them off later in the evening with ‘Jerusalem’ or ‘Drop the Hand­ kerchief.’ ” A man came around the side of the house and waved a Panama hat at Mrs. Nash. She greeted him as a brother and introduced him to Hale as Doctor Nicholas Crosby. She added that he had a camp two miles further up the shore. Hale sat down again for a few minutes and studied Crosby with interest. He had heard of him. Crosby dropped into a chair, accepted ice tea, and took Rex in with a clear, wide-eyed glance. “You’re with Kneeland,” he said, “Nephew or something, aren’t you?” “Godson. Just now secretary and general utility man.” Crosby lit a cigarette and relaxed comfortably. “I used to know, the Kneelands well,” he remarked. “In fact, I attended Mrs. Kneeland in her final illness. Since then I haven’t seen much of them. But I didn’t assist the poor woman out of the world, as one might, suspect from Kneeland’s manner toward me since she died. In fact, I took pains to have several specialists on the case with me, to share the responsibility. It was all pretty tragic though. I’ve no doubt the real explanation of Kneeland’s manner is that he doesn’t want to be reminded of it by seeing me around.” “I know,” Rex. commented. “She died insane. Unde Cass told me that.” “Yes, she had a case of puerperal insanity.” “Puerperal insanity,” Rex mused aloud. “I once Imew about a case of that kind—the mother of a friend of mine. She died, too. Just what does it mean, Doctor?” “I don’t know anything about your friend,” Crosby said good humored* ly. “In poor Mrs. Kneeland’s case it meant that a middle-aged woman who was passing through the meno­ pause tried to have a baby. The child was born dead. Unfortunate complications developed. The pa­ tient lost her mind, as you would put it, and eventually died.” (TO BE CONTINUED). ‘Something Terrible* Happened to French' In English Invasion in 1690, but What? A little article in the London Ga­ zette of July 26, 1690, has come un­ der the eye of the columnist of the Morning Post. It describes a French invasion of England but does not relate what the British did—“some­ thing terrible, but what?” As history is silent on the subject, the columnist thinks that the ar­ chives of Brixham, at Torbay, may hold the secret. The invasion may have been connected with the at­ tempt to aid James n against Wil­ liam (HI) of Orange, who had oc­ cupied the English throne for over two years. The artide reads: “On the 22d instant the French fleet came to an Anchor in Torbay, bong with their gallies about IlS sail. And this morning about 5 o’clock the Gallies draw very near the Shoar, at a small place called Tingmotith; and having for the space of an hour played their Can­ non and forced the inhabitants to retire, they landed in their boats about 1,000 men, who set the Town on Fire. This account we have from several persons that are com­ing from thence, who about six this morning saw the Town of Ting- mouth and the Beacon near it, as also two Boats in the River, on Fire. “Upon the news hereof, the Mili­ tia of this County is marching against the Enemy; and the Militia of the neighbouring Counties is like­ wise in arms, the whole body of the Gentry and Commonally expressing on this occasion an extraordinary zeal and unanimous resolution to oppose these invaders." Venetian Glass Is Delicate Venetian glass has always been famous for its exquisite delicacy and ornamentation. It was not made for cutting though it was sometimes engraved. Form father than deco­ ration interested the Venetian craftsmen. They delighted in fan- tastic forms, thin and light as air almost. The glass is never as dear as the modem.- Pale tints of color were often used in such pieces as goblets and vases with deeper col­ ored spirals. One of the most ex­ quisite pieces made in the Fifteenth century was the tazze. - The tazze had a lovely daborate stem, rather tall and ornamented with spun glass wings, lacework, and a bowl that was rather like a flat saucer.

PARTON ■^EW YORK.—This writer, en- ’ cotmtering Frederick Jagel of the Metropolitan Opera at luncheon the other day, quizzed him about _ . his season at OperattcStar Buenos Aires, SuggestsNeW from which he Lineof Export thinks cultural penetration of South America might be more effective than our trade and diplomatic mis- fsions, in which he is inclined to be­ lieve we aren’t getting anywhere. Soutb America bas long had the idea that we were a nation of hard-boiled money-grubbers. Any creditable performance in the arts, he believes, will be our best Une of export. He said he found the Argentines most gen­ erous and appreciative hosts. Once they find you haven’t an extra ace in your cuff and you measure up to Uieir standard of propriety, they wear their hearts on their sleeve. Incidentally, Mr. Jagel’s singing makes audiences weep, but no one meeting him ever feels sorry for him. He is a businesslike, compact Brooklynite, formerly an actuary with the Mutual Life Insurance com­pany, long before he took his perch in the old red plush aviary, where, on occasion, he still hits Wgh C. As an actuary, young Mr Jagel, charting other careers, began to think of his own career. He tossed his insurance job out of the window, found a backer, sang in movie houses up and down Broadway and proved to all and sundry that he had a voice. He studied with Forta- nova in New York and with Cala- dini in Milan. Making his operatic debut in Milan, in “La Boheme,” he hit Rodolfo’s high C with a bull’s eye that greatly improved Italo- American relations. He sang for four seasons in Italy, before making his New York debut as Radames, on November 8,' 1927. He knows about 40 roles, and 26 of them he can sing offhand and on the slightest provocation. With the precision and clarity of a man trained in business, he tells you of the superiority of our South American competitors in their specialty of quid-pro- quo trade economics.

He leaves the door open for faith in the occult, if you think you have evidence, but, as to prevailing mys- tagoguery, he reduces it to fraud or to honest self-deception, "aided by slow eyesight.

As to the above poker hands, it happened at a luncheon table of five or six men. Mr. Mulholland sent for a new deck of cards and asked me to shuffle them and deal four hands.

The hands fell as he ordered, the orders apparent- Iy issuing silently from the back of his head. £> Consolidated News Features*WNU Service.

Glorified Westerns these new ones will be, with the big studios offering you good casts, stories and sets, with A-I directors handling the whole thing.

And you’ll see James Cagney in ‘Oklahoma Kid” by courtesy of Warner Brothers. It is said that his char­ acterization is based on “Billy the Kid,” and that’s interest­ ing. Years ago, be­ fore Hollywood had whipped up interest in young Mr. Cag­ ney, he was just one more of New York’s actors, doing pretty well, but wanting to do better. Mary Mc­ Call Jr., now one of Hollywood’s best scenario writers, learned that one of the major com­ panies was about to do a picture based on the life and adventures of Billy the Kid, and she and her hus­ band did all they could to persuade the governing powers that Cagney, a friend of theirs, was just the boy for the part.He didn’t get it. Hollywood didn’t know him, which was their bad luck. Now he has his chance. James Cagney Speaking of actors who aren’t ap­preciated brings up the young wom­ an known professionally as Elsa Lanchester, and otherwise as Mrs. Charles Laughton. If you meet a motion picture producer kicking himself around the block you'll know that she is the reason. For “The Beachcomber,” made by Laughton independently, with the two Laughtons in leading roles, had no more than begun its showing in New York in late December than everyone began to rave about Elsa Lanchester’s performance. She had everything! And Hollywood, when she was there with her husband, gave her no chance to do anything but the bride in “The Bride of Frankenstein” and a couple of bits. Better see “The Beachcomber” when it comes your way; it is being mentioned as one of the best of the year. — * — .

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Dress Qiarixiingly Within Limited Budget; Here's How By CHERIE NICHOLAS 1 H EBE’S an encouraging word to the woman whose wardrobe up­ keep must needs be held down to a limited budget. The skirt with con­ trast tops leads the style program this season. With the separate skirt or simple foundation dress and a Bock of flattering sweaters, jackets and blouses tuned to occasion you can dress as well as the next one and not be extravagant especially if you “make your own.” Here’s hoping the suggestions of­fered in the accompanying illustra­ tion will prove an inspiration to get busy sewing, knitting and embroi­ dering on a wardrobe of pretty things that will carry you trium­ phantly through the season from the dress standpoint. Let’s start with the right skirt to wear with the right top accom­ paniment It is easily possible to carry on a well-dressed appearance with two skirts in one’s wardrobe, a wool or crepe for routine wear plus a velvet or handsome crepe or slipper satin weave for more for­ mal wear. However, you can go as far as you like in laying in a supply of skirts and then not have too many if you go a lot. A tweed, a colorful plaid, a pleated-all-round type, a smartly fashioned crepe or satin for day with a floor-length velvet or crepe for evening formality, are none too many. Of course, with your tweeds and your plaids you will want a swank utilitarian sweater. The model pic­ tured to the left in the group is eas­ ily knit. You will love it because it is so unusual. It has style distinc­ tion written all over it in that it is knit in a different way, using two patternings that contrast a vertical and horizontal handling. A soft wool yam in a delectable deep rasp­ berry pink is used for the knitting of this clever sweater. If it’s something a wee bit dress­ ier you are wanting, a touch of gay hand-embroidery will do just that. See what can be done in the way of intriguing embroidery in toe sweat* er blouse below to the right. The model pictured is knitted of rust red wool and toe embroidery is done in riotous flower colors. Coming to the dressier modes, handsome laces of every type and description make the news head­ lines for blouse and jacket and bo­lero fantasies in a big way. It’s almost like magic toe way a bit of lace transforms into a jacket or blouse masterpiece and even if you are not an expert in making things, a charming jacket-blouse or bolero as pictured can be put together with little effort. A collection of lace tops will array you glamorously wherever you go. A lace bolero does wonders in dressing you up, and does it click charmingly with last year’s frocks! It is never so welcome and useful as at the tail-end of winter when you Eire feeling a bit jaded with dark dresses and feel toe need of something to perk them up. The carickmacross lace bolero which you see pictured above to toe right will sound a refreshing new note for your wardrobe. Scalloped all around toe edges it silhouettes effectively against toe background of a black dress in either street or evening length. A dress-up jacket-blouse to be worn with skirt or suit lends allure to your formal afternoon or eve­ ning costume. You can get the fine leaf-patterned lace that fashions the jacket-blouse pictured below to toe left in ravishing colors or in black. The glittering rhinestone buttons complete toe formal look. • Western Newspaper Union* In Sleek Satin Slipper satin in-dark or evening shades is playing an outstanding role for dine and dance wear.. It is fashionable either in dark or pastel shades. Youth is in the red this season and no mistake about it.- This time.it is-in gorgeous-ruby red sleek satin. Give White Bead Embroidery Trim Among newcomers In toe field of popularity are very attractive blade dresses for afternoon wear that are prettified with white bead embroi­ dery. The character of the embroi­ dered motifs are unique. Some­ times toe embroidery is done around toe neckline in the new neck­ lace effect. Idkely as not here will be a dash of toe white beadwbrk on the girdle or belt. The newest of the new is for a single spray of flowers to be worked on toe bodice top with not a vestige of white beads showing elsewhere. The effect'takes place of a flattering corsage worn on the left front shoul­der. Fur Dyers Adding To Ilure of Skunk Both kolinsky and Russian fltch in sable coloring and mink-dyed musk rat have found great favor. The fur dyer has also contributed to the continued success of skunk, now available in stunning sable and baum marten shades. - Foxes—silver, red and blue—are extremely important now In toe making of fur coats in short and intermediate lengths. And a new­ comer in this field is toe silky lynx. Odd Companions Tweed and sequins may seem to be strange companions but they go together in this season of striking fashions,.

PETER DENIES HIS LORD LESSON TEXT—Ltlke 22:31. 32. M-62.GOLDEN TEXT—Let him that thlnketh he standeth take heed lest he tall.—I Corin­thians 10:12. One of toe most heartbreaking ex­ periences we have as Christians is to find that one in whom we have had every confidence as a true and faithful follower of the Lord, has denied Him by going out into almost unbelievable sin. Often it seems that those who, like Peter, have had toe loftiest and most inspiring fel­ lowship with the Lord, and who speak with the greatest ease about His love and grace, turn to toe most reprehensible of sins. Lest any unbeliever who reads this begin to gloat over the failures of Christians, let him be reminded now of his own sin which needs his attention, and of toe fact that though Peter fell, he arose again to victory and usefulness. May it also be said that none of us has any right to a “holier than thou” atti­ tude toward a brother who has fall­ en. "Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall” (I Cor. 10:12), and let him in broken­ hearted sympathy help to restore his stricken brother “in the spirit of meekness: considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted” (Gal. 6:1). I. Sifted but Not Destroyed (w. 31, 32). Satan, who is a fat more powerful spiritual being than most folk think, is actively interested in tempting the Christian. He uses many clever devices. Although he is not possessed of divine powers, he does have supernatural cunning and knows toe weakness of each one of us. He knew the boastful self- assurance of Peter and was ready to tempt him at that point. Jesus knew this, and even in this dark hour shortly before His crucifixion He takes time to warn Peter, and with His warning to give the as­ surance that though it was to be tried, his' faith was not to fail, and that he was to be restored to fellow­ ship and service when he “turned again,” which is the correct trans­ lation for toe word “converted.” H. Self-assurance and Disgraceful Failure (w. 33, 34, 54-60).Peter was sure of himself and of his consecration to the Lord. A man who stands in that place is in grave danger. It is not long before we find Peter, apparently presum­ing on his own ability to stand fast, consorting with toe enemies of Christ, warming himself by their fire. Someone has suggested that toe great spiritual problem of our day is not the conflict between the Church and the world; nor is it to determine how the Church can best serve in toe world, but rather what to do about the world which has gotten into the Church. How did worldliness get into the Church? The members brought it there after they had gone out and warmed them­ selves at the world’s fire, and fellow- shiped with the world in ungodly liv­ ing. The denials made by Peter seem almost unbelievable in toe life of one who had been in immediate fel­ lowship with the Lord and who had seen His glory.. We have here a revelation of toe fact that “the heart is deceitful above all things and des­perately wicked; who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9). We agree with Dr. Wil­ bur M. Smith: “This is of the Dev- to This is humanity sinking to the lowest plane of base ingratitude. This is shame upon shame.” One might have hoped that one denial would bring quick and sincere re­ pentance, but instead it leads- the way to a second and to a third. There seemed to bevnothing that could stop Peter, until “the Lord turned and looked” at him. This suggests toe only effective way to deal with backsliders. Argument, pleading, even shaming them, will do no good. We must bring them to toe place where they meet their Lord. III. Thq Look of Love and a Bro­ ken Heart (w. 61, 62). What was in toe look of Jesus is perhaps best expressed by Alexan­der Maclaren: “It spoke of Christ’s knowledge, of Christ’s pain, of Christ’s love.” The backslider needs first of all to realize that toe Lord knows all about his denials and sin. He has been hiding things from his family and friends, denying accusations, trying to cover up his guilt. Let him now abandon every such effort. Jesus knows all about it. The second thing to be realized is that he has added to the pain and sorrow of his'Lord. For a believer' to turn away from Him is no Ught matter, to be casually dealt with. He needs to be deeply conscious of the wounding of the heart of toe Lord, as well as of toe damage done to God’s people and His cause in toe earth. But above all it was a look of love. The Lord deals in tenderness with the backslider. Whilehenever can or will condone sin, He loves toe sinner, and especially does He love toe one who belongs to Him but who has gone astray. What a gracious Lord we do have! WHAT to EAT and WHY C. Houston Goudiss Suggests the Part Played by Diet In Helping to Prevent the Common Cold By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS STATISTICS compiled over a period of years indicate that during the months of January and February, the number of colds and other respiratory infections continually mounts. Usually a peak is reached in late February or early March. It is during the next eight or ten weeks, therefore, that, in the light of past experience, more adults will lose time from their work and more children will be absent from school, as a result of colds, than at any other period during the year. Th* Tremendous Cosf of Colds It has been estimated that colds cost the United States more than a billion dollars a year. That figure, of course, is only an estimate. It merely attempts to gauge toe dollars and cents 'lost in' wages; and in toe money spent in an effort to overcome colds. It does not take into account th e discomforts that may be caused by this common complaint. Nor does it allow for the possible after­ effects of a neglected cold. Cause and Cure Obscure No scientists today are willing to state what causes colds or how they may be cured. Large num­ bers of clinical and laboratory tests have been performed throughout toe world in an effort to discover why we catch cold. Numerous records have been made concerning colds in men, women and children, as scientific workers have patiently and per­ sistently tried to investigate the cause of colds. They have sought even one clue that might help us to outwit this common enemy! Various theories have been ad­vanced. Many have been discard­ ed, and others have been consid­ ered sufficiently plausible to in­ vestigate further. There is one point on which many authorities agree: that is a belief that a cold is caused by a germ so small that it cannot be seen by toe most powerful microscope. It has been suggested by a num­ber of competent observers that whenever the weather becomes damp and raw, and wherever crowds of people gather together, the cold germ may find victims among those whose resistance is low. Prevention Raiher Than Cure Though we may not know pre­cisely what causes a cold, nor how to cure it once we have been stricken, we can and should help to build up bodily resistance, so that we develop strong reserves against the unknown cold germ and any others lurking about. Inasmuch as' a program for building up bodily resistance is one which encourages greater health and longevity, it is a pro­gram which all forward-looking homemakers should put into ef­fect for their families. Helping to Build Resistance Such a program should include proper food, normal elimination, adequate exercise and sufficient rest and sleep so as to avoid fa­ tigue. Just as food plays an im­ portant part in helping to promote growth, maintain health and in­ crease toe chances for longevity, so does it have a stellar role in toe battle to prevent colds. The Right Food a Strong Weapon The well -balanced met, as I have previously stated, is one that is built, first of all, upon a firm foundation ofvtoe protective foods —milk, eggs, fresh fruits' and vegetables. These are the foods that are richest in minerals and vitamins—substances which help to regulate body processes and help to guard against deficiency diseases. There should be adequate pro­ tein to allow for the demands of growth and to help repair worn- out body tissue. There should be enough bulk or cellulose to help promote normal elimination. And there should be a sufficient amount of water and other fluids; for water flushes toe countless channels of physical existence, as it passes from the body through .the lungs and skin, as well as through the kidneys and toe large intestine. Significance of Vitamin ANutrition authorities are fre­ quently asked, “is there any spe­ cific food substance that may be said to be particularly helpful in preventing colds?” or “Is it true that vitamin A is especially valu­ able in combatting colds?” Here is one answer to both ques­tions: scientists have found evi­ dence that vitamin A, which oc­ curs most abundantly in milk and other dairy products, and in Sew for Now and Spring TTtS fun to sew during toe long •*- winter evenings, when you use these simple patterns, each in­ cluding a detailed sew chart, so that you can follow them with no trouble, and listen to the radio at the same time.

Don’t Overeat In addition to partaking ade­ quately of toe protective foods, those who are endeavoring to plan a program of living that will help to prevent the common cold should likewise guard against overeating. One should also do everything possible to avoid coming in direct contact with persons who have colds.

Remember that here, especially, an ounce of prevention is worth perhaps more than a pound of cure! Questions Answered Mrs. L. A.C.—No, it is not es­ sential to include .an egg in toe school child’s breakfast, provided he receives an egg in some form during- the day. An ample; and easily digested breakfast might include fruit, cereal with milk, toast and milk to drink. Miss C. M.—Yes, it is triie that molasses contains calcium. The amount in a tablespoon and a half has been compared to toe amount of this mineral which can be ob­ tained from one and one half cups of diced carrots.(Jfe^-WNU—C. Houston GoudJss—193&—43. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Correct Table Height.—For per­ sons below or above average stat­ ure, the following test will deter­ mine toe best height for a kitchen table: When a worker, standing erect; can place toe palms of her hands on the table without stoop­ing, the height of toe table is cor­ rect.• • • Care of Steel Wool.—Steel wool will last so much longer if dried in the sun or on toe radiator after each using. This will pre­ vent its rusting and becoming un­ pleasant.* 0 0 Making the Bed.—When >ou get out of bed in toe morning, turn back toe cover over toe footboard and allow the air to freshen and sweeten toe bedding. Beds should never be made as soon as the occupant has risen; at least an hour should be given to airing it. * * * To Cream Butter.—Remove but­ ter that is to be used in making cake from toe icebox about one hour before you start mixing in­ gredients. It will then be much easier to cream it. * * * Slicing Figs and Dates. — To slice figs, dates and prunes for cooking, cut them with scissors dipped frequently in warm water. This helps avoid stickiness and makes even-edged pieces. For fruit puddings, it often is advis­ able to cover cut fruit with warm water so it will mix better with the other ingredients.* • * Newsprint Stains.—To remove stains caused by newspaper print from washable material, sponge it with warm water and soapsuds and rinse thoroughly in dear warm water. If unwashable, sponge with even strokes with a small sponge dipped in ether. H toe stains are old, soak them 10 minutes in kerosene' before apply­ ing ether. • • fUse for Leftovers. — Leftover pieces of soap may be made into a jelly for laundry use.

Cornwallis didn’t get the com munications, containing informa­ tion about the movements of Greene and Morgan, of the American forces, but they came instead into the hands of R. G. McSwain, 805 Lincolnton road, a salesman for a wholesale grocery establishment. He has had them since Labor Day, 1910, and agreed to let The Post make a storv about them. The historical importance and the intrinsic collector’s value of the dis­ patches were not at first apparent to Mr. McSwain. On that fall day in 1910 McSwainf young man, was living with his father in the Hardison’s Chapel community, two mtles west of Mocksville. On Labor Day he was riding a horse along a dirt road'that cut through the James McGuire farm, near Bear creek, when he spied a small oddly shaped, ancient looking bottles sticking out of the longside the road. The eroding bank had brought it to view. At that point the road was in a cut that bad been sunk in the hill. Dismounting and picking up the bottle, the young man noticed that was sealed tightly with whst looked like wax, aud contained papers. He threw it against a rock to see what its contents were. Pick­ ing up the papers he carried them on to his home just across the :reek. There he examined them more closely and folded sealed, and ad dressed. The outside carried the Send: "To Lieut R. St. John “Of ‘‘His Majestys 10th Draggoons” Openingthishe found a sealed dispatch dated “Jan 13 1781” and adressed: “To Lord Corwallis Important' ’ on the inside. The outside letter was merely direction that the inner message be delivered to the commander-in-chief of the English forces in America The outside message read: Jan 13 1781 •‘Honored Sir: "I enclose herewith An Import­ ant Dispatch for Lord Cornwallis. Send it to Him by Courier at Once “I am yours “ W.

A national Republican ticket with Senator Vandenberg, of Micb lean, for President, and Senator Robert A. Taft, of Ohio, for Vice President, iu 194”; was endorsed by the Leaksville township Republican club at a meeting Friday evening. The endorsement was the first by any group in the state of condidati s for 1940, as for as it could be learn­ ed. The Leaksville club was only reseuly organized and it is the first time that an active organization has been sponsored daring a year which there was no national election. Virgil A.

The eight contssting teams were from land grant colleges in Con. necticut, Massachusetts New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Virgi nia and North Carolina. Bailey Against Third Term. Senator Bailey in Washington New Year’s Day rung out the old year with a firm declaration against Franklin Roosevelt for a third term a blast against WPA and new deal spending policies, and an announce ment he would offer in this coming session of Congress a new farm bill as well as amendment to the wage and-hour law and the Wagner la bor act. TN OLDEN days it was required of ■'■the common people when in the presence of their ruler to strip them­selves of their clothing as a symbol of laying down all they possessed for their superior. Prom this was evolved the act of a gentleman tip­ping his hat to a lady which ac­ tion merely says: “I take off my hat to you who are my superior.” €> Western Newspaper Union. Snell Scathes New Deal Acts. New York.—Governmental spen­ ding, the. appointment of Harry L. Hoykins to a cabinet berth, the Wagner act and the {administrations national denfense program were assailed by former Representative Bertrand H. Snell (R-NY) retir­ ed minority leader of the House In a syeech befoie ahe Women’s National Republican Club’s school of politics, Snell said: “Looking back upon 24 years of continuous- service in Congress, can truthfully say that never have I seen natioual affairs in a more muddled and dangerous posture than at the opening og the present Congress. : ,,Federal spending and budget policies appear to be utterly out of hand. . . . This reckless and fabu Iotisspending program is the certain road to the smashing disaster of national bankruptcy.” No More Gas. The State-operated gas bouse in which it conducts its private kill, tags, will be dismantled. That is easy to predict in view of Govern­ or Hoey’s recommendations to this end and the obvious sentiment of the legislators. Killing by gas proved very un. satisfactory. Observers have peeped through the death house' window and have seen things that appalled. Newsmen have gone back to their desks to rife stories of the miserable writhings ahd chokings, and this has convinced most og us that the electric chair, as uncomfortable as it is, is preferable to the gas fumes And so we will burn onr victims to death instead of choking them.—Ex Jones Is Private Citizen Dam?, Land And Taxes The beginning ot work on the dam on the Yaddin River at the southeastern edge of Yadkin coun­ ty has aroufed the interest of Yad kin county commissioners because of the fact that the dam will flood much of the county’s best land, which hereafter will be the proper- tv of the city of High Point and will not be taxable by Yadkin county. Of course, the commissioners of the county, with the financial wor ries a part of their responsibility, will look into the matter, but there is another angle to the question to flooding lands. Of far greater loss to the county of Yadkin, generally speaking, will be the fact that much of the coun. ty’s best farming land will be per­ manently take out of production. Yadkin is primarily an agticultural county. Its progress depends al­ most entirely upon the productive ness of its soil. The land owners, we presume, are beiug paid fair prices for their lands, but the county as a whole wili lose a good farming territory. The county will benefit tempor ari’y in a big way beacuse of the vast expenditure for labor in con­ struction of the dam and this mon­ ey will for the loss in agriculural production. It is hard to take sides on a ques­ tion of that kind. No one would want to hamper the city of High Point in the progressive movement it has taken in construction of the dam, especially in view of the tact that the federal government is put­ ting up a great part of the cost. On the other hand, it appears that the commissioners of Yadkin coun­ try are acting wisely in showing an interest in the consequent loss to the county which they goverd, and have a right to be beard and conj idered. —Wilkes Petriot. Only One In Captivity. The distinction of being the only Republican solicitor in the State of Notth Carolina belongs to Avalon E. Hall, able Yadkinville lawyer. He took over the duties of his of­ fice on January 2, succeeding John R. Jones, another Republican of Wilkes, who held down the job for twelve consecutive years. Solicitor Hall is cne of the most popular men in this district. He has just as many friends among De­ mocrats as be has among Republi- cans ahd a'l admire and respect him for his ability.—The State. Reason For Deficit Postmaster General James B. Far- Iev reporU that bis department spent 43 million dollars more than it took during the last fiscal year. The mat­ ter of a postal deficit, which is custo­ mary, is not as interesting as the cause. Two years ago Mr. Parley blamed a great part of the deficit upon ae- <*>nd class postage rates under which newspapers are distributed. This ex* planation met with almost universal ridicule and refutations, together with figures which proved that most of the larger payers of second class postage could actually deliver papers at less cost by means other than through the mails; Mr. Farley comes along now with a logical explanation of the postal deficit and puts the blame where it belongs—on the federal government, 'ts employes in high places, and its agencies. The postmaster general says now that the losses sufficient to constitute the postal deficit come about, by handling free of postage the millions of letters sent postage free. This postmrster general says now. that the losses sufficient to constitute the pos­ tal deficit come about by handling free of postage the millions of let* ters sent postage free. This includ- tons upon tons of phamphlets, docu­ ments, forms, and personal mailings of congressmen and senators. Not a single day passes when some of that so-called postage free is not included in our mail. It is not postage free—injfact, it is postage collect,” because Mr. John Q. Public is paying the bill. In the report of the postmaster general there is no suggestion about what is to be done about the three* cent postage rate, which will expire on ,June 30 unless there, is action' of congress to the contrary. Since it is evident that the postal department cannot be run as efficiently as pri­ vate business, we see no reason why tne two-cent rate should not be used. There will be a deficit anyway and is a great possibility that the two* cent rate would increase the volume of mail sufficiently to lower instead of increase the deficit.--Ex. 1781, marching to Salem, by way 9f Shallow Ford, on the Yadkin.

It seems certain that humdreds of millions will be spent this. year for battleships., planes tnd expansion7 of all the arms of the military, service. This forthcoming “war ’ budget” will doubtless be the largest,- for peace time, in oar history. In the mentime.' there is consid* erable talk about possible ways of financing it. The President - has said that he does not want to do that by adding to the debt—that he favors a pay-as-we-go plan so for as possible - At the same time, sentiment gen* erally in Gongress seems to be a* ginst new taxes. One suggested solution is for the Administration to liquidate some of the tremendous assets held by the RFC. This bureau is a big partner in American industry, and- its bold* ings run into the billions. They are, however, difficult to realize on—no one believe the RFC would damp securities on the.open market, as that would be certain to.caosd a sharp break in. values. Any loss from this method would result in additional taxes.' So. even though Congress is un*. willing, it may become necessary to pay for rearmament with new taxes,. or higher old taxes. If the latter course is chosen, it is likely that the. income tax on all or mret brackets will be increased one or two per cent. im m m k \ Primitj'Methods Net ^ T rBe.

That brain disturbance is a temporary condi­ tion," replied Dr. Crosby. “Nothing retroactive. The children of such a patient should be in no more danger of inheriting their mother’s insanity than you are or I am. Such cases of insanity,” he developed, warming a bit to the theme, “are matters of internal infection—of poisoned gland conditions. You wouldn’t understand them. We don’t understand them any too well ourselves. But we do know that particular type of insan­ity Isn’t hereditary. And the pa­ tient often makes a full recovery from it.” The doctor rose. “Helen, may I use your tele­phone?” Hale grinned apologetically. He had made himself something of a nuisance. "Thanks most awfully.” He got up also:- “Now for the gaieties of life,” he sighed. Bex made his farewells, and start­ed back to the Camp through Oie woods. It was almost six o’clock. Approaching a deep clump of trees through which the narrowing path ran he stopped short for a moment at the sound of voices. His feet had made no noise on the sandy soiL Through an opening he saw an impressive little picture twenty feet away. It was composed of an empty basket, a tiny new grave, a red-eyed Jane and a small, alert man, thin-faced and furtive-eyed. The man was smoothing fresh earth above the grave, whistling under his breath as he did so. His cheer­ ful notes were in sharp contrast to the bereaved expression of Jane’s face and the nature of the digger’s occupation. “Beat it now,” Jane said ungra­ ciously. “I don’t want you hangin’ around here.” “What’s the idee?” the man asked reproachfully. “Ain’t I come along jest in time to dig this here grave? Ain’t I been mother’s little helper? All right. Gimme a break. I got­ ta finish the business this funeral delayed.” Jane straightened from her tragic droop. Her manner was that of one ready and willing to go into action. “Jim Haines,” she broke out, “you ain’t goin’ to do no business here. How many times have I told you that?” The man stamped the fresh earth into place about the grave, and straightened slowly. He handed Jane the shovel he had been wield­ ing and showed her a row of dis­ colored teeth. “Is that so?” he asked cheerfully. “Now I’ll talk. I don’t leave these woods till I see one of them old dames. Get me?” Hale had recognized the fellow. It was the unpleasant stranger he had seen in the moonlight the night of his arrivaL He bad been having some sort of rendezvous then with Miss Hosanna. What association could he have with the “old dames”? Hale pricked up his ears and listened shamelessly.The man went on. “Get this, too, Baby. The dame I’m out for is the one from N’ York. I do’ wanta see the fat old dame you work for. She’s a tight-wad, she is. AU she give me las* time was three dollars. Three dollars! Said it was all she had!” He spat disgustedly. “The other dame’s got the right idee. She coughs up a five spot.” "Jim Haines," Jane said firmly. "You know what Pm goin’ to do to you? Pm goin’ to put you in the hands of the po-lice.” “Says you.” Haines was still good-humored. “I tell you I am. I ain’t goin’ to have you sellin’ that filthy stuff here. If Mrs. Spencer Forbes wants it, let her go in town and get it like she used to. I ain’t goin’ to have Miss Hosanna gettin’ into no trou­ ble for her, even if Mrs. Spencer Forbes is a sick woman, like she says she is.” He yawned. “Hop it, Baby. I bet that Forbes dame is th in lrin 'bout me this minute. You’re keep- in’ her waitin’.” “I’ll hop it.” Jane added, incisive­ly. “I ’ don’t care if ,you are my husband. Pm tellin’ the police.** “Yeah? An’ what’s goin’ to hap­ pen to our angel child when you do that, my girl? She’ll like visitin’ Daddy at Sing Sing, she will. She’ll like leayin’ that boardin’ school she’s in. Say—’* suddenty the man, good-humored up till now, became venomous. “If I hear any more talk about the po-lice I’ll shut that trap of yours for good,” he snarled. "Now be on your1 way.” “Wait a minute, Haines.” Hale stepped from behind the trees and faced the1 startled couple, 'better run homq, Jane,” he advised. “I’ve a few private words for your hus­ band’s War.” - Haines ' was squirming, looking around? Bim like a cornered rat. “SHutlup, Haines. Pm doing the talking.One minute, Jane. Tve a I question to ask you. How much dope has this man been supplying to Halcyon Camp?”“Only a little, sir. Just a little bit for Mrs. Spencer Forbes. It wasn’t nothin’, really. Only I hate to have him sellin’ it to anyone—” “Listen, Big Boy, I ain’t got ’null outa that dame to buy me a pack of cig’rettes,” Haines volunteered shrilly. “I wouldn’t waste no time on her—only I got other customers right near here.” “Shut up. You say Mrs. Spencer Forbes doesn’t take much, Jane. How much does she take? How often does she get it? I want the truth.” “Only ’bout twice a month, Mr. Hale. Honest. And only a couple powders then. I heard her tell Miss Hosanna she’d never be a addick. She says she knows too well what it means. She takes it as a spree­ like—oncet in a while. You know, sir. The way men gets drunk.” “She’s all right,” Haines contrib­uted eagerly. “She’s a baby at it!” “That’s why we’re not going to let her go on. Now, Haines, here’s sailed him, he was. not alarmed nor suspicious. Several glasses of iced tea and one long glass of ice- water, drunk in quick succession on an extremely hot day, might upset the most accommodating stomach. Nevertheless the paroxysms were horribly severe and growing more so. The world turned black. He had just time to reach for a flask of brandy on the shelf above his wash-bowl before he felt himself falling. He went down with a crash and heard that, too . . . Then, in some black and distant world he was fumbling with a flask, trying to get the cap off it, trying to raise it to his mouth. He got a little of the brandy. It didn’t help much. He lost it almost immediately, in another rending paroxysm of nau­sea. His mining experiences in remote places had taught him something of first aid. By the time the dinner gong soiuided he was able to sum­ mon Banks and tell him almost naturally that he was a bit under the weather and would not appear the usual house group increased by Mrs. Nash. She looked a trifle flam­ boyant but very charming in a flame-hued evening gown. She greet­ ed him with a luuidclasp and an anxious glance.“ ‘A touch of sun,* ” he quoted lightly, and she nodded. “You see, I’ve come from cool resorts like Spain. I wilt like a flower under New York's tropical climate.”“The next time you wilt,” Mrs. Nash invited in an undertone, “come over to my Camp and do it. Pll feel easier about you, if you will promise that.”He did not promise and she didn’t press the point. Instead she abetted him in a program that began with oId-Tashioned games and ended in dancing. He directed but did not take part in these diversions. The old-fashioned games made a hit, as they had done before.Dancing followed, but proved less popular. No one seemed to care to dance with anyone else. Admitting this, there was no reason why the dancing should continue. It did, I % "Yon ain’t goin’ to do no business here.” my last word to you. If I ever see you around this camp again, or talk­ ing to any of the people in it, I’ll give your name to the police and they’ll give Jane the third degree and get your address. We won’t have any more dope peddling in this part of Long Island. Have I made myself clear?” “What right—” Haines broke into a whine. “Say, I’ll keep off your place all right. But I tell ye I got other customers near here.” “If you like we’ll walk over to the police station now, I’ll show you there what right I have,” Hale said cheerfully. “Want to come?” Haines gave him a black look. “Another thing,” Hale went on. “Don’t send anyone,, else in your place. 'I’ll be on the watch. The next man that shows up with dope will go straight to the station house. The day after that we’ll have you there, too. I needn’t remind you, Haines, that the police don’t like dope peddlers. They don’t like them at all. Now clear out.” Haines looked at him a moment, his flat head lowered. Then he turned and disappeared among the trees. A little later Hale heard the rattle of his car starting on its re­ turn journey through the woods. CHAPTER T l Hale deliberately avoided the members of the house-party when he got back to the Camp. He heard their voices in the living-room as he entered the hall. They were having tea and cocktails; but he went up to his room. Asheopened the door he cast an apprehensive glance around him. There were no notes or dead animals in sight. Relieved, he crossed the room to the closet, changed his coat for a thin blazer and his shoes for slip­ pers, and started hack toward the davenport between the windows. Hia idea was to stretch out there, relax, and make some plans for the eve­ ning. On the way he stopped, and poured out a glass of ice-water from the thermos bottle that always stood on the table at the head of his bed. It was a day that called for cold drinks and Mrs. Nash’s iced te.a, excellent though it had been, had not wholly quenched his tmrst. He drank the water almost at a gulp, went on to the davenport and stretched himself out o£ it at full length. The moment of Comfort he experienced as he. did si» was the last He enjoyed for several hours. ost immediately he was in the b room, actively and most vio- Ie r ill. At first, even during th^ sms of acute nausea-that as- at the table. He sent his apologies to Miss Hosanna, and added that later in the evening he would come down. He locked the door to discourage callers. An hour later he found an empty bottle in the bathroom, steri­lized it, and took it to the carafe for filling. It was possible, of course, that in New York he had eaten something injurious; but if so it was not probable that it would have waited this long to inconvenience him. He inverted the carafe over the bottle and stared. Only a few drops came forth. The carafe, which heretofore had always held several glasses of water, today had exactly one—just enough to fill the glass that stood beside it. He had filled that glass and drunk its con­tents. The few drops remaining In the bottom were hardly enough, of course, for a satisfactory analysis. Nevertheless, he added them to the drops from the carafe, corked the bottle securely, and bid it in his traveling case. His mental proc­esses were clearing. No one had meant to poison him; but someone had desired to make him desperate­ ly sick and had certainly succeeded in doing so. A little after nine o’clock he went down to the living-room. He found however, on the tacit understand­ ing that a change might mean some­thing worse. When, at Mrs. Nash’s suggestion, the afiair became an old-fashioned “barn dance,” Hale led forth Miss Hosanna and took her triumphantly through a quadrille. He was feeling more like himself, but what he really wanted was his bed. It was Miss Hosanna who gave him his accolade that night. She had been delighted by the interest Mrs. Spencer Forbes had shown during the evening. Again and again he had observed her sitting quietly in her pet chair, watching her friend with the rapt expression she usually wore when that friend talked. It was increasingly dear that anything which pleased Mrs. Spencer Forbes enchanted SQss Hosanna. When the group parted on the upper landing Miss Hosanna looked at Hale with real emotion in her pale eyes. “Are you sure you feel quite well again?” she asked anxiously. "Perfectly sure, Miss Hosanna. Pm all right now.” “You have brightened us up so much,” she said. She added unex­pectedly, “I begin to wonder how we got along without you.” (TO BE CONTINUED) BluegilI Hooked on Artificial Fly Found as Sporty as the Blade Bass When the average fisherman thinks of game fish he usually asso­ ciates the term with stream trout or black bass. The so-called pan fishes of our inland waters, blue- gills, sunfishes, perch, crappies and rock bass, are essentially food fishes to him, possessing ^very little fight­ ing spirit or gameness, writes Al­ bert Stoll Jr., in the Detroit News. Still, many have watched families fishing from docks and out of flat- bottomed rowboats and noticed that all /thoroughly enjoyed hauling in wriggling perch and side-sailing bluegills. They appeared to find them sporty, especially the children, and best of all a toothsome, sweet fish for dinner. Many of us can find , sporty quali­ ties in most any species of fish, while others must either play a large brook trout on a dry fly or hook into a record tuna or sailfish to get a thrill. But.ounce for ounce a one- pound bluegill hooked on an artifi­ cial fly and: light fly rod is just as sporty- as a six-pound small-mouthed black bass on the end: of the line. No trout-fly . fisherman ever experi­ enced more excitement when he hooked into an oversized rainbow or brown than the pan flsh angler when he fights a big bluegill on light tackle. This type of fishing is becoming popular. There was a time when the bluegill fisherman used nothing but crickets, ' grasshoppers and worms as bait, fishing in deep wa­ ter, but today he flicks a fly in the shallows as he would for bass and generally returns to shore with a fins string. Ibe Peay Express Stations At first the Pony Express stations were 25 miles apart. Each rider covered three stations, or 75 miles daily. Later intermediate points were established. The route of the rider was sometimes doubled, •• oi even tripled, owing to unforeseen circumstances. In changing horses, saddles were not changed. The sta- tionkeeper was required to have a pony ready, bridled and saddled, one-half hour before the express was due. Only two minutes was a t lowed for the change. Buttheponies of the western express were finally defeated by the machine age,.

We know of two who are now serving time in the peniten ■ tiary, one was recently kicked ont of office, and two more were indict­ ed last week. Glad they were not " Republicans.

BV' V'V Ir " - - WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON .'M EW YORK.—Dr. Robert H. God- IJ-~ dard, experimenting with rock­ ets for the last 24 years, and stead­ ily making progress, has had as his O r. G oddard ' S o . * 1 V E H as B oth F eet higher atmos- O n This W orld Phere, the possi­ ble catapulting of messages across the ocean, and sundry scientific inquiries to which he has thought his unique gunnery might supply the answer. Although much Jules Vernish stuff has been ■written about his “rockets to the moon” and about shooting people .across the Atlantic in a few min- ;Utes, he has been an aloof and pa­ tient scientist, intent on seeing only 'what he sees and not making any handsome promises. - So far as this courier knows, the suggestion by Maj. James R. Randolph that rockets may replace heavy artillery, for long- range bombardment of cities, is the first official recognition of their possible use in warfare. He specifically cites the work of Doctor Goddard, at a time when Doctor Goddard is piling up new patents and getting some of his biggest sizzlers under con­ trol. It is also the time when the tiny, motored plane, evolv­ ing from the toy, and controlled by radio, is absorbing the inter­ est of the army experimenters as a possible bomb-dropper. At Roswell, N. M., financed by the Daniel Guggenheim foundation, Doctor Goddard has a unique desert laboratory with plenty of elbow room and sky room. He now has a gyro steering mechanism on his rockets, by which they may be ac­ curately aimed. He has gained 30 per cent in range over his best shots of two years ago, and is now forcing his rockets to a speed of 700 miles per hour. His most Valuable contribution to rocketeering, noted by Major Randolph, is his continuous flow of power, instead of the single initial explosion. Gasoline and oxygen, _ mixing and exploding as they issue from a tail nozzle, give steady propulsion. Doctor Goddard, an amiable, un­ assuming, baldish man, began his rocket experiments at Clark univer­ sity in 1914. He is a physicist, ab­ sorbed in pure science, admitting that we might hit the moon with a rocket if we wanted to spend that much power, but so far he keeps down to earth on immediate and specific problems—and makes prog- TT DOES begin to look as though 1 scientists will be the loudest of all when “Beulah Land” rings out at the next singfest. Once upon a time, religionistsChurch and TestTub.es A re T eam ingU p looked warily whenever a man o f science opened his mouth, because so many of them were arguing against a hereafter. But Sir Richard Gregory, with his “It is just as permissible to assume that another world awaits habita­ tion of an exalted type of humanity as it is to believe in the eternal ex­ istence of individuality,” is only the latest of many to hit the sawdust trail. Emeritus professor of astron­ omy, Queens college, London, is one of his present distinctions, and he is also a former editor of the magazine, Nature. The stars have been his chief guide for most of the years since he was born in 1364. How much their lessons helped him to his knighthood, 1919, and his baron­ etcy, 1931, is a question. But certainly, along with his ac­ knowledged interest in heaven, they must take responsibility for his chief books, “The Vault of Heaven” and “Discovery, or the Spirit of Service of Science.” pR O F. WALTER B. CANNON of 4 Harvard avoided a mistake made by Howard Scott. When Mr. Scott appeared as the John the Baptist of technocracy, he started taking our measure for i ts immediate application. Cannon put out Cannon Cure N ot Cram m ed D ow n Throats When Professor . “biocracy” several years ago, as a cure for the ills of the “body poli­ tic,” he made it clear that we could take it or leave it. Hence, while bi­ ocracy is still in the suspense file, Professor' Cannon finds honor and advancement as the newly-elected president of the American Associa­ tion for the Advancement of Science, which body is driving for some grand scale rationalization of sci­ ence* and society./. That’s the main idea of biocracy—-a 'society which is not at war- with ihe-life force. He is one of the :moSt distinguished physiologists in Aiiiencd',: given to novel research. He is the discover­ er of a method by which we may bear our br,ains ticking. ® Consolidated News F e s fite i > - WNU S erv ice No Dog Fights for Fido, He Wears Glasses Though dogs, as a rule, have excellent eyesight, some of them have been known to be shortsighted.

S ta r Dnist ■jlf Kings Whiskers Off ^ Frugal Fiord's Funds 'fa Mary Pecked the Queen — B y V irg in ia V a le — 1 DAVlD NIVEN is one of the few men in Hollywood who grew a m ustache by order of the king of England. He shaved it off the other day by order of Samuel Goldwyn. When he first was assigned to a G uard’s regim ent of His M ajesty’s service, young Niv­ en was officially informed that all officers must be equipped with mustaches. Patiently, sometimes despairingly, he grew one. By the time when he left the army he’d grown so accustomed to it that it seemed like part of his face. But along came, his role in “Wuthering Heights,” and off came the mustache. That same David Niven can laugh now over a little-known incident in his colorful career, but at the time when it happened it didn’t seem particularly funny. When he arrived in New York four years ago, intent on making iis fortune but not knowing just how A DAVID NIVEN he was gomg to go about it, he registered at a smart hotel. He hadn’t much money. Nine days lat­ er he not only had no money with which to pay his bill—he didn’t even have enough to get his shirts back from the Chinese laundry where he had taken them. So he made a deal with the Iaun- dryman. He’d work for a full day as a deliveryman, in return for the return of his shirts. Two days later —in a clean shirt—he got a job. Flora Robson, the celebrated Eng­ lish actress whom you’ll see also in "Wuthering Heights,” didn’t have to work for a laundryman to learn the value of money, she just knows it by instinct, and as a result her friends are suffering no end of embarrass­ ment. Arriving in Hollywood be­ fore the studio knew that she was there, she went into the first apart­ ment house that she saw and took an apartment—at $60 a month; and still lives there. She had to have a car, and bought, one, for $75. Hollywood is shocked. But Miss Robson says that she has heard too many bitter tales of people who do foolish things there. Madeleine Carroll, who made a gay tour of New York’s-night clubs before she sailed for Europe, was hailed a while ago, in print, as the only glamour girl ever presented to the king and queen of England at court. Whereupon Mary Pickford, now deeply engrossed in her cos­ metic business, rose up to correct the impression. She not only was presented at court, she played a trick on the queen. Fearing that the rouge on her freshly made-up lips would stain the royal glove when she kissed it, she touched it with the tip of her nose instead. — * — It sure was a victory for some­ body when Janet Gaynor was per­suaded to sign up to do “Mayer- ting” on the air with WUliam Pow­ ell. She had broadcast only once before, about a year and a half ago, also on the Radio theater. But the thought of the vast unseen audience terrified her.

If put in at first it toughens the fiber of the meat and takes out the juices. * * * Fringed Celery.—Celery looks much more attractive on the table when fringed. To fringe, cut cel­ ery into two inch lengths. Fringe each stalk within a quarter of an inch from the center.

ByCHERIENICHOLAS Q F KEEN interest to seekers of A-^the coveted “something differ­ ent” that adds zest to each season's modes are the excitingly new sil­ houettes given to fashions through a soft styling technique that makes fullness its theme. The versatile. ways in which the new fullness Is manipulated im­ presses one. In some instances skirts are frankly full all around, inspired no doubt by the dirndl vogue that has been having a successful run for some time. The all-around pleated skirts will hold good among foremost fashions not only for mid- season and spring, but their style prestige will endure the whole sum­ mer through. Unpressed pleats is also a favorite method with design­ ers for acquiring desired fullness. Then, too, there is the circular-cut skirt that measures yards around the hem. It is getting lots of notice especially in the very new petti­ coat versions which are made to reveal a swish of taSeta or a splash of white that repeats the pique neck­ wear which finishes 'off the blouse. These petticoat dresses are provid­ing a big sensation on the new style program. For women who cannot stand for more than a certain amount of full­ ness, the new skirts that make par­ ticular appeal show a controlled treatment in that they are smooth at the back and hips with fullness brought to the front in gathered or pleated panels. In both day and evening clothes this idea is carried out. This matter of soft styling and in­ triguing fullness is by no means con­fined to the skirt but rather is con­ sistently worked throughout the cos­ tume so as to preserve continuity in a unifying way. The smart coat and dress shown in the illustration tell the story better than words. The stunning coat is typical of the new trend to fullness. It is made of a rust-color wool in handsome texture. The definitely full skirt is balanced with a . soft blouse top which has roomy sleeves gathered full into the wrist. A small muff and a hat of red fox complete the ensemble. Very significant is this coat as to new color trends for spring. In the early collections special emphasis is placed on the importance of rust shades and mustard yellows and kindred hues with jewelry accom­ paniments of amber topaz and like stones. For immediate wear style- alert women are selecting chic lit­ tle dresses tailored of sheer woolens with a sophisticated simplicity that abounds in dramatic details.Rows and rows of shirring achieve fullness for the dress pic­ tured. This very high-sfyle model by - International is the type sure to call forth compliments wherever you go. Shirring at the waistline achieves a flattering dirndl. The bodice above the slim mid-riff cor­ selet adds a related soft touch. Hor­ izontal shirring on the sleeves gives them that casual “pushed-up” look that indicates “last word” chic. Ex­pert designing makes it a perfect dress for a busy social calendar that carries from luncheons to informal dinners and the theater. The three jewelled pins at the waistline are individual. A soft kid bag, kid gloves and a simple felt hat with face veil complete the costume. With her upsweep hair-do she wears small, clip earrings foregoing any ornaments at the V-neckUne. 9 W estern New spaper Union. S m a r t P la id C o a t Plaids had such a good start this I winter their style momentum is car- drying right through into the mid- I season and early spring style pic­ ture.

And again fashion says pleat it, which is exactly what de­ signers are doing for spring. Only this time the pleatings are more so than ever. That is the pleated mood permeates the whole scheme of things from neckline to hemline.In the newer fashions it is not only the skirt that is pleated, but the whole thing, including blouse top sleeves and just as like as not a pleated bolero is added. The us'e of pleats is taking on a decidedly designful flair. The versa­ tile way pleats are being handled is clever beyond words. You see most unique touches especially in blouse styling such as pleats brought down, from each shoulder to tie in a soft knot at the girdle top. Surplice pleats that cross from shoulder to shoulder finishing in a bow at the waist-line with pleated streamers. Much of the charm of the newer print frocks lies in the fact of their lavish and unique pleatihgs. F lo u n c e s R e tu r n W ith a F lo u r is h Of all things, guess what’s com­ ing! It’s flounces on your new frocks. Yes’m flounces old-fashioned, now new-fashioned flounces. The idea of flounces has been taken up by designers with a will and if you would be “first” in fashion you take your cue right now and select for your newest gown one of the. smartly flounced versions. The flounce trend is as apparent in day dresses as in evening floor-lengtb party frocks.

It comes to us today. Do we love our Lord? It is a simple question, but also a very searching one. “We may know much, and do much, and profess much, and talk much, and work much, and give much, and go through much, and make much show in our religion, and yet be dead before God from want of love . . . There is no life where there is no love . . . Knowledge, ortho­doxy, correct views . . . a respect­ able moral life—all these do not make up a true Christian. There must be some personal feeling to­ ward Christ” (J. C. Ryle). The instructive story, the center of which is Peter’s declaration of love for Christ, presents a picture of a life of true devotion and service to the Lord we love. I. Fishing at Christ’s Command (v. 11).Peter had led the disciples in a fruitless fishing expedition (w . 2, 3). There may have been some un­ believing self-will in his “I go a- fishing.” It may also have been the need of food on the part of the disciples who had not yet been sent forth to preach. But in any case they caught nothing until they went to work at the Lord’s direction. Useless and pathetic is the effort of the Church to win men to Christ except as He directs and blesses the work. He knows when, where, and how we ought, to fish for mem Let us seek His guidance rather than suffer the disappointment which, goes with man-directed campaigns and “drives.” As a matter of fact, we need more divine directing and less human driving. H. Fellowship With the Lord (w. 12-14).’ There are some folk who seem to think that following Christ is a dole­ ful matter, devoid of every pleasant contact. Jesus never taught any such thing. He attended weddings and dinners even in the homes of those despised by men. Remember that He always did it for their spir­itual good, not merely for His own enjoyment; and that He always brought the gathering up to His own spiritual level, rather than stooping to any worldly or wicked standards. Here we find Him with a glowing fire upon which fish is broiling and with bread ready for the hungry fishermen. It is just like Him thus to meet in most delightful and satis­ fying fellowship those who serve Him. Draw up to the fire, Christian friends who are standing afar off. You may be so timid that, like the disciples, you will not dare to call Him by name (v. 12), but if you will come you will find that the precious fellowship will soon warm your heart. HI. Feeding His Flock (w. 15-17). Many (perhaps most) after-dinner speeches and conversations yield lit­ tle profit. Here is an occasion when such was not the case. One won­ders whether we would not be wise to take the suggestion and turn our thoughts and those of our dinner guests to spiritual things. Surely it should be so among Christian friends and in a Christian home. Three times Peter is asked to de­ clare his love for Christ. Such a public confession was quite in place, before the man who had thrice de­ nied his Lord is restored to a place of leadership. The words “more than these” (v. 15), indicate that Jesus was asking of him a high measure of devotion. It is no more than He has a right to expect of us. The. expression of love to Christ means practically nothing except as it manifests itself in service. We, like Peter, are to be diligent about feeding His flock, whether they be the young and inexperienced lambs, or the. mature sheep- of the fold. Observe that we are to catch the fish (the unconverted) and feed die flock (the redeemed). Sometimes it seems that we are trying to catch the Christians to forward some scheme of advancement, and failing to win the unconverted, because we are feeding them spiritual food that belongs to the flock of God. IV. Following Christ to the End (w . 18, 19). The Christian (and surely the Christian worker) is to glorify God even by his death (v. 19). What a significant reply John Wesley made when his followers were criticized: “At any rate, our people die well.’’ Peter was to go on to the end, know­ ing that he faced martyrdom for Christ. But we are not only called to die like Christians, we are to live for Him. When Jesus “had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me” (v. 19). JustaswesaidthattheChurch needs more divine directing and less human driving, so we say that the crying need of the Church now is not more leaders, but a greater host of faithful followers of Jesus. Will you, because you love Him, follow Him in life and death? WHAT to EAT and WHY has been found to vary with differ­ent parts of the same plant. In broccoli, the flower buds are said to contain only half as much as the leaves, while the' stems con­tain even less. Among the greens, turnip tops and beet tops have been found to be unusually rich. Investigations indicate that weight for weight, they are twice as rich as eggs, though eggs are consid­ ered a good source.Homemakers will be glad to learn that heating does not appear to destroy vitamin G. Canned foods are therefore as good a source as though they had not been processed. Milk must not be overlooked. For all practical purposes, and chiefly because of the amounts in which it is consumed, it is proba- VALANCE b o a r d o v e r w in d o w s C. Houston Goudiss Reports Some Current Knowledge of Vitamin G1 a Substance Essential to Growth and Normal Nutrition By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS A n u m b e r of the vitam ins have been discussed in these columns from tim e to tim e. -lPie lateist findings of nutri­ tional science have been related, together with suggestions m ade by outstanding authorities concerning the amounts of different vitam ins required to help m aintain top health. So far vitam in G has not been discussed specifically. Yet a knowledge of some of the functions and sources of this vitamin should be possessed O by every homem aker. F o r’ eminent authorities are of the opinion that it has a far-reach­ ing influence upon health. Possible Effects on Longevity The avowed objectives of mod­ern nutritional scientists are to help humanity to enjoy happier, healthier and long­ er lives. If any one vitamin could be said to have more influence than any other on longevity, the distinction most certainly would be accorded—so far as present knowl­edge is concerned —to vitamin G.Extensive labora­ tory experiments by investigators who are para­ mount in their field seem to indi­ cate that vitamin G has a pro­ nounced effect upon the mainte­nance of health and vigor at all ages. It has been demonstrated with experimental animals that a diet containing more vitamin G than is required for normal growth resulted in greater vigor, a postponement of the onset of senility and a comparatively short period of the mental and physical infirmities we usually associate with old age. Effect on Digestion and Nerves Laboratory experiments have also indicated that when there is a shortage of vitamin G, digestion is usually impaired. In this re­ spect, a shortage of vitamin G has a slightly different effect than a deficiency of vitamin B. A defi­ nite lack of vitamin B causes an abrupt and complete loss of appe­ tite. Withholding vitamin G ap­pears to affect the desire for food, so that experimental animals con­ sume only about two-thirds as much as they would normally take. A form of nervous1 depression may occur when the diet is low in vitamin G for any protracted length of time. Other unfortunate consequences may be a decline in the health of the skin. Studies with animals indicated that when the vitamin was withheld,- not only did a loss of weight occur, but there were other signs of nu­tritional failure. These included an inflammation of the mouth, a loss of hair, a thickening and in some cases, a cracking and scal­ing, of the skin. Vitamin G and Healthy Eyes Studies with a variety of experi­mental animals resulted in the startling disclosure that on diets lacking vitamin G the health of the eyes was distinctly affected.Not only was there a loss of hair around the eyes, but the eye­ball developed a whitish appear­ ance which was determined to be cataract. At present, scientists are not prepared to say whether these lab­ oratory findings may be confirmed clinically. But certainly when we know that in many ways, the food requirements of experimental ani­ mals are comparable to those in man, it would be distinctly to our advantage to make sure that we do not lack for adequate amounts of vitamin G. bly our most important source of the .G vitamin. One thing is certain. Home­ makers should strive—not for diets that are merely adequate in vitamin G . . . but for a surplus to help build high resistance. One authority has advised a ration that contains four times the amount considered absolutely necessary. The surplus should help to pro­ vide a headstart toward the goal of buoyant health. Questions Answered Mrs. G. M. L.—The term, water balance, about which you inquired is used to describe the situation in which the available water from food, beverages, and that manu­ factured in the body equals that of the water excreted or lost from • the body. It is to help keep the body in water balance that the daily diet must contain adequate amounts of fluids. E. G. M. Jr.—Yes, it is true that approximately one-third of the protein required during infancy is stored by the child’s body to take, care of growth and development. As children grow older, the amount of protein stored for growth gradually decreases until they become adults. ©—WNU—C. Houston Goudiss—1939—46. By RUTH WYETH SPEARS THUMB TACK FOLD TO VMLANCC BOARDv ~n~ CURTAIN F ' Sources of Vitamin © Because vitamin G is closely as­ sociated with vitamin B, some homemakers occasionally confuse the two. This is not surprising, inasmuch as it was some years following the initial recognition of vitamin B that scientists estab­ lished beyond a doubt that there was more than one growth-pro­ moting vitamin. Subsequently, they learned that while the sub­ stance, later named vitamin G, was frequently found in close as­ sociation with vitamin B, such was not always the case. For ex­ ample, vitamin G is known to oc­ cur without vitamin B in egg white. Milk, Meat, Eggs, Greeni The richeJt sources of vitamin G are the" concentrates of yeast, yeast extract and wheat germ. Al­ most equally well supplied with this vitamin are liver'and kidney. Muscle cute of meat contain vita­ min G, but in lesser amounts than liver and Kidney. The vitaimin is also found,1 in young g!&fen plants, and it is iin- terestingito note that the vitamin is formed/during the growth of]the plant anl decreases with matur­ ity.

One group of three windows is especially difficult as the daven­ port has to be placed in front of them. Can you give me a sugges­ tion? I think I would like a plain valance without gathers or pleats across the top. How should this be made and hung? I have just made a beige slipcover for the davenport with green pipings and bands.—A. D. W.” I would use plain cream colored glass curtains for all three win­ dows and overdrapes at the ends only. A striped material in tones of tan and green and blue would be. nice for the draperies with a narrow fringe edging in green and tan' or green and blue. A valance board at the top of the windows is essential when a plain valance is used: This board should be four inches wide and % inch thick. It is screwed in place with L brack­ ets. Ordinary metal curtain rods are placed just under it for the glass curtains and side drapes. n T IP S to ( j a r d e n e r s Making the Garden Pay VTEGETABLE gardens a r e Y grown to provide fresher, more nourishing food for the family, and to conserve on food bills. Therefore, crops must.be wisely chosen and systematically planted. According to Walter H. Nixon, seed breeding vegetable expert, the most important vegetables considered both, for food value and garden space required are beans, cabbage, carrots, beets, squash, tomatoes, onions, peas and spinach. To get the most from garden space, plant two crops of spinach, one in early spring, the other in late fall. Plant Chinese cabbage, carrots, beets and parsnips In fall in space occupied earlier by beans, radishes and peas. , Plant bush beans 'and beets on both sides of tomato rows. When tomatoes need the space, those Earlier crops will have been pulled and used. Corn can be worked into the garden plan even though there is not much space. Plant spinach or beets or onions between rows of slower-growing corn. Then grow pole beans (cornfield beans) to climb on the com stalks. The plain valance should be long enough to fit around the ends of the board and should be about six inches deep finished. It should be stiffened with an interlining of crinoline, and an allowance should be made at the top for a tuck or fold to be tacked to the board as shown.
