Drownings an frequent and when firearmsare played with something serious is bound to happen. Twiea as many boys as girls between the agroof 5 and 14, are taken by the Grim Reaper in accidents.Adult deaths are the result of accidents in whichsome form of transportation is concerned more thananything else. Drownings also take a heavy toll.But as people pass the 70-year mark, they are moresubject to accidents in the home such as those due tofalling or to being burnt.
Strangely enough, there were more women fatally

was the case under 70 years of age.
Whether these people were tho victims of careless

“AS A WOMAN SEES IT— Dy Arabella —THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17th, 1WSCommunity “YlIHa* World-WideAssociation*During recent weeks an appeal has been made bythe directors of the Ingersoll Community “Y ’ for
funds with which to carry on the worth while work
that ia being done locally by this organization. There
is no doubt but what there is a real need for a Com
munity “Y” in Ingersoll and from the fact that over
two thousand dollars was subscribed during the first
week of the Special Campaign Canvass, indicates that
many in town are willing to give financial support
to this cause.Quite a number no doubt were not approached for
donations, and any who wish to make a contribution
may still do so by leaving it at the “Y” office on Ox
ford street or sending it to the treasurer, Mr. F. N.
Horton.. .According to the Census Branch of the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics, in 1931 there were 1,134,000
single men between the ages of 15 and 29. A report
from the Y.M.C.A. shows an annual membership of be
tween 45,000 and 50,000 young men. The inference
drawn is that a goodly number of young Canadians
are seeking the assistance of this organization for a
fuller life.The Ingersoll Community “Y” is affiliated with
both the National Councils of the Young Men’s and
Young Women’s Christian Associations of Canada.
The Y.-M.-C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. are voluntary organ
izations of world-wide scope, designed to promote
the spiritual, social, intellectual, and physicial wel
fare of young men and women.
The first Y.M.C.A. group was organized in London,
England, by Sir George Williams.
His aim was to establish religious services and
Bible classes among the young men employed in bus
iness. Seven years later, in 1851, seven additional
associations had been established in London and six-
t«w in other parts of the United Kingdom, all of
which ,were affiliated with the original body.
On December 9, 1851, the first North American
Association was founded in Montreal and twenty days
later another in Boston. From these two cities the
movement spread quickly. Three years later, nineteen
organizations were represented at the first convention
of North American associations at Buffalo. At this
meeting an alliance of the associations of the United
States and Canada was established.
In the meantime, the movement had spread to Ger
many, France, Holland and Switzerland. At the
World Conference in Paris in 1855, 97 delegates came
to represent seven nationalities. * A world member
ship of 30,000 members was reported. In 1935,
this membership was over one and a half million.
The present programme
covers youth’s problems
physicial and social welfare.

ated in the programmes during the last decade.
FOR BETTER HEALTH
—By Dr. J. Rosslyn Earp—
THE RAPID HEART
What a lot of people are worried by "heart attacks"
or “palpitations"! The commonest,, least series heart
disturbance is that in whitfh the heart suddenly be
gins to beat both rapidly and violently. The pa
tient hardly dares to move. He thinks that very
likely he is going to die, and that makes his heart
beat, if possible, faster still. The attack ends as
suddenly as it begins. But often the patient is so
alarmed by this experience that he makes an invalid
out of himself and may injure his bank account as
well as his health by taking remedies prescribed by
his neighbors or himself.
A doctor should always be consulted. Though
the palpitations are not dangerous themselves, they
do occasionally lead the doctor to discover some more
serious disease. Often they are the sign as well as
the source of anxiety, and a simple explanation of
their unimportance will remove the dread, if it does
not entirely prevent future attacks./ Sometimes a
deep breath will slow the speeding heart, and there
are some other tricks the doctor can show you. The
main thing is to be sure that nothing serious is
wrong. This assurance leads rapidly to better health.
FIFTY-NINE YEARS AGO

Work amongst young
From the Files of The Oxford Tribune,
Wednesday, February 19th, 1879
The convention of Dairymen, which commences its
sessions in Ingersoll today, is the second annual
meeting of the Dairymen’s Association of Western
Ontario, and the twelfth annual gathering which has
taken place. The association was first organized in
Irigersoll in the year 1868, and for two or three years
thereafter the conventions were held here.
CO-EDS
Last week was observed as Education week
throughout Canada. Special Educational Broadcasts
were transmitted from Radio stations from coast to
coast and it was most interesting to note the re
markable strides that have been made in education
during the past century. The Education Branch of the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics in the most recent issue
of “A Fact a Day about Canada," booklet, mentions
that the one hundredth anniversary of college educa
tion for girls was celebrated last fall at Oberlin Col
lege in Ohio. There in the autumn of 1837 "four
timid youngfpBmen” matriculated, the first in the
world it is claimed, to be admitted to a standard col
lege course. A million or more have followed in
their footsteps, but it was some years later in
most countries before the first began.
According to the archives of the Canadian Feder
ation of University Women, it was not until the
1870’s that the first women entered Canadian univer
sities, and their admission was not generally allowed
until the 1880’s—only about 50 years ago. Earlier
than that a few had gone to colleges in the United
States, including Canada’s first woman doctor who
began practising at Toronto in 1867.
Today there is hardly a branch of university stud
ies that girls have not penetrated. Among each
year's 6,000 graduates from Canadian universities,
they number more than 1,500, and include doctors,
dentists, druggists, lawyers, theologians, architects,
librarians, teachers, graduates in social service,
science, commerce, agriculture, veterinary medicine
and a host of other specialities. Forestry is one of the
few departments of study that numbers no women
among its graduates. Many have become college
teachers in their turn, nearly 500 in Canada having
full time positions of this kind. Among them are
■deans and principals. Such are some of the changes
that have come about within the lifetime of earliest
women graduates in Canada.
The contract for carrying the mail between Beach-
ville apd Embro has been given to Mr. John Elsenger
of the latter place.
Quite a sensation was indulged in on Mill street, on
Monday afternoon last, in the shape of a rough and
tumble fight between two women and a man. The
battle ended in one of the women gaining the victory.----- \Rev. R. N. Grant of Ingersoll, delivered the fourth
of the St. Andrew’s Church, London, series of lec
tures in that edifice last evening.
Mr. James Gordon accountant, conveyancer, col
lector and general insurance agent, has removed to
the new office erected by Mr. Cook, at the lumber
yard, opposite the China Tea House, Thames street.
Mr. W. J. Hewitt was appointed superintendent of
Knox Church, Sunday Schoql replacing Mr. Pyper,
resigned.
A social in connection with the congregation of Ers
kine Church was held at the residence of Daniel
Kerr, Esq., Catharine street.
Mr. William Browet of Ingersoll, left here yester
day for Stratford, where he has secured a situation
in a drug store.
Mr. W. H. H. Gain of West Oxford, near Inger
soll, has in his possession a silver coin of the denom
ination of one groat—4.1 sterling, dated 171J5.
A social in connection with the M. E. Church,
Ingersoll, .will be held at the residence of Mr. John
Elliott, 4th Con., North Oxford.
A social and parlor concert will be given at the
residence of Armon Clark, Esq., north of the river,
on Tuesday evening.

YOUTH AND BEAUTY AREPURSUED BY THE BEASTAn ugly beast is rearing its headin our country and it is only rightthat people should know of it and thedeadly influence that it exerts—Werefer to the weed Marijuana—pro
nounced as if the j were an h. It
is not a newcomer to the vegetable
world, for it was known to the an
cient Greeks and is still known as
Hashish to Persians and Malayans,
who spread terror when they become
addicted to its use. It is also used
in Mexico, which perhaps accounts
for a great deal.
So much is being done for our
young people to fit them for futqre
citizenship, as we have evidence in
our community, after having been
privileged to see recently how really
fortunate are children in being able
to attend school in Ingersoll, where
the latest in educational methods Are
practiced by teachers who are sin
cerely interested in the students*
welfare. But Marijuana can undo
all that in a short time.
Courtney Riley Cooper, sounds a
warning in the American Magazine
that startles one when it is realized
that there is such an enemy in our
midst. This deadly weed is put in
cigarettes, and those who smoke it
are unconscious of its presence. Jts
effect is to accelerate the brain, and
give its victim a sensation of great
jubilation for a time, with apparently
no ability to premeditate or reckon
the' consequences of one’s actions,
so that they might commit murder,
robbery, suicide or any other crime.
A young man in Florida, while under
its influence, killed his parents, two
brothers and a sister, with no recol
lection of having done so. A young
girl in Chicago at a party was offer
ed a smoke to “pep" her up. She en
joyed the sehsation produced there
by, and formed the habit, which lead
to sudden insanity and she leapt to
death from an upper window. The
victims of the traffic are seldom of
the criminal type, for they repre
sent the average schoolboy and girl.
However, the vendors of the weed
most certainly are criminals, as they
know its absolutely diabolical prop
erties, and they make schools, or
lunch counters frequented by stud
ents, their particular haunts. They
offer something to stimulate the
L brain so that studying will be easier,
then the deadly habit begins, and
from thereon there is nothing but
stark tragedy.
Since beginning to write this article,
we have heard a radio announcement
that the authorities' in Canada are
awake to this peril, although it does
not appear that they realize the ex
tent of its practice. Nothing but un
ceasing vigilance on the part of
everyone will defeat it . It is said
to be easily grown, so that some traf
fickers find it profitable to raise it
in flower pots, which puts it in a
class with moonshine whisky. By
degrees and at great cost, the public
learned that the latter was injurious,
so that the traffic waned. It is to be
hoped that there will not be a de
mand for Marijuana because people
refuse to be victimized.
Carelessness or Fate?
During 1937 enough people died as the result of
accidents to make a community one thousand larger
in size than the town of Ingersoll. The Vital Sta-
■ tistics Brai^Jr of the.Dominion Bureau of Statistics
-has made an interesting'study of accidental deaths
and. one wonders if a large number of them could
not have been avoided.
Nearly all the accidental deaths of children under
one year of age were due to some form of suffoca
tion, either while sleeping with the parents or when
the child rolled over on its face or was smothered in
the bed clothes. In one case a cat slept on the little
victim’s fpce. Deaths due to burns, especially scald
ing with hot liquids, took the next greatest number.
Small in stature but ceaseless in activity, children
from ore to four years old, can certainly find a num
ber of ways to get into trouble. Burns ranging from
not-liquids to grass fires headed the list Eating
poisonous pills and such, preparations, falling into
wells or shallow water, running! into automobiles or
falling from balconies or chairs are all part of the

SERVICE . . in highe»t »efi*e
I once heard Woodrow Wilson,
long-before he was President of the
United States, point out the differ^
ence between civilians and soldiers,
and .w^y we erect public monuments
to soldibrs and preserve their swords
and muskets as family treasures,
rather than hang a tailor’s yardstick
over the mantel.
“The tailor’s occupation is not less
honorable than the soldier’s, he
said, “but he labored for gain, for
the support of his family. The sol
dier risks everything, including his
life itself, not for money or reward
but in the service of his people and
his country."
My observations of the American
Army, which has been considerable,
makes me feel that nothing they want
is too good for them. I am speaking
now of the professional soldiers and
West Point officers, who are fully
imbued with the spirit of Democracy
and recognize that they are the ser
vants of the people, not their
masters.
SPEED .... Increased
Eight years ago I predicted in this
column that some day airplanes
would be built capable of flying
around the world with the sun,
starting from New York at noon
and crossing every point on the
round trip at noon. That would
would take a speed of only about
500 miles an hour, flying several Imi In above the earth.Science and invention are bringingthat time closer and closer. One byone the obstacles to fast flight in thestratosphere are being overcome.The upper air has been explored andits wind-currents studied. Theshaping of an airplane to fly with theleast resistance has been worked outThe use of oxygen to enable the pilot
to breathe and the engine to funct
ion eight or ten miles above ground
has been demonstrated. Speeds of
more than 400 miles an hour have
been made.
All that remains is to find more
economical methods of carrying fuel
for a world-round, non-stop flight
FIRE .... flying bogy
The greatest hazard in flying is
- fire. Many airplane crashes would
not result fatally but for the ignition
of the gasoline tanks. The great
airship “Hindenberg" was destroyed
with most of its passengers, because
the hydrogen gas on which it floated
caught fire.
Fireproof flight is coming. The
new big German airship will be filled
with helium gas, from Texas gas
wells, which the United States is
selling for that peaceful purpose.
Except for the “Hindenburg” catas
trophe, no passenger's life was ever
lost in a non-military rigid air-ship.
The Zeppelins use diesel engines,
with non-inflammable fuel oil instead
of gasoline. Airplanes have been
flown in this country with diesel en
gines, and now one of the big motor
companies has brought out a new
light-weight diesel engine. The air
plane of the future, like the air-ship
of the future, will be firc^proof.
EDUCATION . . . of public
I am not greatly concerned about
the future of the nation so long as
there is no restriction upon public
discussion of economic and govern
mental questions, in the newspapers
and elsewhere.
1 have thought a good many of
the experiments which have been
going on in the past few years to
be rather silly and based on half-
baked theories. So long as the
people at large were willing to stand
for them, there was nothing to do-
but to let time work its inevitable
changes. Now I think I see less
popular enthusiasm for new schemes
which don’t work.
What has been going on in the past
five years is a process of education.
More people understand the laws of
economics and the impossibility to
make everybody happy and prosper
ous overnight. And that is a distinct
gain.

Not the least important and de
lightful of tfee season's fashions isthe current trend in jewelry Youcan embellish you- dress, suit oreven your housecoat or beach en
semble. with the gayest, dar.-lxs;.
and most fascinating costume jewelry imaginable.Back in great grandmother’s dayhuge brooches were worn, and they
have come back. You are in luckif you have an old one. These largeold brooches are matched with massive necklaces, bracelets, clips,buckles, etc. Even "refined” women
are wearing large and garishly colored pieces.An interesting old European custom of hunters was dividing the stag
horn so that each participant in the
hunt would have a trophy. Thiswas done by slicing the horn, allowing the rough exterior to remain un
finished. and carving delicate fig
ures symbolical of the hunt in thewhite centre of the horn.
Interesting Vogue
Among the interesting fashion ac-
1 clips made of catalin and slmulat-
ces ones seen this season, was new
costume jew: ,y simulating these
Viennese stag horns.
The ensemble shown consists of
bracelet, ‘’rooch and clips, all using
the old Viennese custom as jjieir in-
.pirat on. These replicas are made
ol a piasjic material called catalin.
They are pictured here worn by a
. fair rider, and altrac ed considerable
I attention at the hunt.I The new lapel jewelry is th? very
latest thing in that line to a tract the
eye—and die pocketbook. The bip-1 ger the better is the slogan for tne
pieces that decorate the lapel ofyour new spring suit. There ishorse-head clip done in gold and
rhinestone:: a perokeet with real
feather tail; birds, beasts and fishes,even a Victorian hand handing arhinestone rose.Bracelets are just as fashionable
as ever, and the larger they are. alsothe better. Wide and dramatic isthe last word in these accessories.

PRINCESS ELIZABETHSCHOOL CHRISTENEDImprettlve Cera many Held Ta GiveNaw Name To Formar WardSchool. Several Hundred PreientFor Event. Teacher* EntertainFollowing Chrittening Program.Princess Elizabeth Public Schoolis the name by which the WardSchool, at the comer of William andGeorge streets, will in future be
designated. A most impressive chris
tening ceremony was held on Thurs
day afternoon, February 10th, when
several hundred adults and children
gathered at the school for the occas
ion.
Open House wras held from three
to four o’clock. The classes were in
session during this time so that the
pupils might be observed at their
work by the many who visited the
school. The christening programme
was arranged by the Property Com
mittee members and the teaching,
staff of the school. Trustee James G.
Ruddick, chairman of the school
property committee, acted as chair
man of the afternoon.
The official christening took place
m front of the school at 4 o’clock,
when the chairman of the Ingersoll
Board of Education, J. Ferris David,
broke a bottle of wine on the side
of the building in front of a flag
draped board bearing the words,
“Princess Elizabeth School,” and
declared, “By resolution of The
Ingersoll Board of Education .and
through the authority invested‘ .to
me, as chairman of the Board, I do
now christen this building, “The
Princess Elizabeth Public School.”
Rev. Dr. J. George Miller, minister
of Trinity United Church offered
prayer which was followed by re
peating the Lord’s Prayer in unison.
The children of the school, under
the direction of Miss Ruth A. Cuth
bertson, supervisor of music for the
Ingersoll Public Schools, sang, “God
Save the King,” “O Canada”, and
“New Every Morning.”
Following’ the christening, a short
programme xas held in the princi
pal’s room. James G. Ruddick presid
ed and extended a welcome to the
gathering on behalf of the Board of
Education. The first speaker was
Mr. Fred A. Ackert who served as
chairman of the Board of Education
in 1908, the year the money was
raised and plans made for the build
ing of the school. Mr. Ackert review
ed the history in connection with the
building which was erected in 1909,
when the late R. T. Agar was chair
man of the Board. The site was
purchased from the late Mrs. Robert
Wilson for the sum of $2500, and
the cost of the building was $14,000
without any extras, Mr. Ackert said.
Councillor George Preston who
served as a member of the Board of
Education for eighteen years, and
was chairman of the Ward School
Property Committee for the greater
part of that time, reviewed many
matters of interest in connection
with the school during his years as a
member of the Board.
Mr. R. A. Paterson who was Pub-
ife Schools Inspector for South Ox
ford from February 1910 to Febru
ary 1932, presented the school with
a framed picture of Princess Eliza
beth, for whom the school is named
He said the late William Carlyle was
inspector when the building opened
in November, 1909 and the late Miss
Jennie Poole was principal of the
institution from its opening until
she resigned in 1030.
Members of the clergy of the
town, Rev. George A. McLean, min
ister of the Ingersoll Baptist Church;
Rev. Father A. Fuerth, pastor of the
Church of the Sacred. Heart and
Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner, minister of
St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, all
spoke briefly, as did M. Walton, prin
cipal of the Ingersoll Public Schools,,
James A. Turner, Principal of Prin
cess Elizabeth School, and J. Ferris
David/ Chairman of the Ingersoll
Board of Education. The program
was closed with a few words from
Mr. Ruddick and prayer by Rev. Dr.
J. George Miller, minister of Trinity
United Churth.
A sumptous lunch was served to
the many guests. The tea table in
the kindergarten room was lovely
with an ecru lace cloth, centered
with a eake especially made for the
christening party, and tall yellow
tapers and spring flowers. Mrs. (Dr.)
J. W. Counter, the only woman mem
ber of the Board and Mra. James G.
Ruddick, wife of the chairman of the
school property committee, poured
tea, while Mra. Margaret David,
mother of the Board Chairman, was
given the honor of cutting the cake.

room and closed the door*.“I hardly think these two mystert-
ou* callers," Kenyon Renting ^commented with pompous finality, "haveany connection with Kaspar * kid-
° “fan8 you be sure of that, Mr.
Renting?" Vance asked coldly."Oh. no—oh, no,” the other replied apologetically. “I can’t be
sure. I merely meant it isn t logicalto suppose that two men would expose themselves so openly if they
contemplated a step attended by»uch serious consequences as a
proven kidnapping.""It might be, of course, as yousay,” he remarked lightly. "Also itmight not be—what? Interestin’
speculation But quite futile. Andnow I think we might go above, to
Mr. Kaspar Renting's bedroom.”As we came out into the main
hall, the door to a small room justopposite was standing ajar, and
through it 1 saw what appeared tobe a miniature museum of somekind. There was the slanting cases
set against the walls, and a doublerow of larger cases down the centre
of the room.“Ah! a collection of semi-preciousstones," commented Vance. "Do
yo® mind if I take a brief look;”he asked, addressing Mrs. Renting.
"Tremendously interested in thesubject, don't y’ know.”
"By all means. Go right in/"Your own collection?” Vance
inquired casually.“Oh, no,” the woman told him—somewhat btterly, it seemed to me.“1X.belonged to Mr. Renting senior.
IMvas here, in the house when Ifirst came, long after his death.”
Neatly arranged in the caseswere specimens, in various shapesand sizes, of various semi-preciousstones. Many of these gem-stoneswere beautifully cut and lavishly
faceted, and I was admiring their|us"o'.i' beauty, impressed by what
I assumed to be their great value,,when Vance murmured softly:“A most amazin' and disquietin’
collection. Only one gem of realvalue here, and not a rare specitqpn
among the re-t. A schoolgirl's as
sortment, really. Very queer. Andthere seem to be many blank
•paces.” ♦
I looked at him in amazement
Then his voice trailed off, and hesuddenly wheeled about and returned to the hall
“Most unusual collection. Hardlyrepresentative, though. . . . Wasyour father an expert, Mr. Rent
ing?"“Oh, yes. He studied the subject
for many years. He was very proudof this gem-room, as he called it"
"AhrRenting shot the other a peculiar,shrewd look but said nothing; and
Vance at once followed Heath toward the wide stairway.As we entered Kaspar Kenting's
bedroom, Captain Dubois and Detective Bellamy were just preparing
to leave it"I don’t think there's anything foryou, Sergeant," Dubois reported to
Heath after his respectful greetingsto Markham. "Just the usual kind
of tharks and smudges you’d find inany bedroom—and they all check upwith the fingu«rints on the silver
toilet set and The glass in the bathroom. Can't be any one else’s fingerprints except the guy what lives
here. Nothing new anywhere.""And the window-sill?”
"Not a thing, Sarge,—absolutelynot a thing.”Kaspar Kenting’s bedroom was
distinctly old-fashioned, and conventional in the extreme.
There were two windows in theroom, one at the front of the house,overlooking the street; the other
was in the east wall, and I recognized it at once as the window to
which Mfis. Renting said she hadrun in her fright. It was thrownwide openAwith the Venetian blind
drawn up to the top. At the rear ofthe room, to the right of the bed,
was a door, now wide open. Beyondit another bedroom, similar to theone in which we stood, was identi
fiable; it was obviously Mrs, Kenting's boudoir.
"When you came in, here thismorning, Mrs. Renting, was thishall door locked or bolted?” Vance
asked.The woman looked uncertain andfaltered in her answer.
„“I—I—really, I can’t remember.It must have been unlocked, or else
I would probably have noticed it. Iwent out through the door and I
don't recall unlocking it.”Vance went to the open windowand looked down at the ladder.
'As he did so Heath took from hispocket a knife such as boy scoutsuse, and pried loose the thumb-tack
which .held a soiled and wrinkled■ sheet of paper to the broad window
bill. He picked up the paper gin*'gerly and handed it to Markham.The District Attorney took it andlooked at it, his face grim andtroubled. I glanced over his shoul-
der at he read it. The paper wasof the ordinary typewriter qualityand had been trimmed irregularlyat the edge* to disguise it* origin*’size. On it were pasted word* andseparate character* in different »ize-
and »tyle» of type, apparently cutfrom a newspaper. The unevenline*, crudely put together, read:

hollow, monotonou* ton*. "Thar*what Kaspar generally wear* withhis Glen Urquhart."Vance turned back into the closetand It wa* but a minute before hecame out and walked to the window.
Between hi* thumb and forefingerhe held a small cut gem—a ruby, I
thought—which he examined againstthe light.“Not a genuine ruby," he mur
mured. “Merely a balas-ruby—thetwo are often confused. A neces*’ry
item, to be »ure, for a representativecollection of gem-*tone*, but of littleworth in itself. ... By the by, Mrs.Renting, I found this in the outersidepocket of your husband’s dinner
jacket. I took the liberty of ascertaining whether he had transferredthe contenta of hi* pockets when he
changed his clothes after returninglast night. Thia bit of balas-ruby
was all I found . . .
"Another thing that would interest
me mildly," he remarked, lookingvaguely before him, "is what kindof pajama* Mr. Renting wears."
ibsolutely not a thing.
Thin ominou* communication wu
signed with a cabalistic signatureconsisting of two interlocking uneven square* which were outlined
with black ink.Vance glanced at it, as if it were
of little interest to him, and read itthrough ouickly, with the faint suggestion or a cynical smile.
He was about to return the paperto Markham when he suddenly drewhis hand back and made a new examination of the note.
"Interestin' signature,” he mur
mured. He took out his monocleand. carefully adjusting it, scrutinized the paper closely. “Made with
a Chinese pencil," he announced,“—a Chinese brush—held vertically—and with China ink. ... And those
"Not a thing, Sarge,—■a
small squares ...” His voice trailedoff.
He moved to the chest of drawersand adjusted his cravat before themirror.
"By the by, Mrs. Renting," Vanceasked casually, "is your husband, by
any chance, bald?” *"Of course not,” she answered indignantly.
"Queer—very queer," murmuredVance. “All the necess'ry toilet
articles are in place on the top ofthis low-boy except a comb.” *“I—don’t understand,” the woman
returned in amazement. She movedswiftly across the room and sfbod
beside Vance. "Why, the comb wgone!” she exclaimed."Most extr’ordin’ry. Let’s see
whether your husband’s toothbrushis also missing. Do you know wherehe kept it?”
"In the bathroom, of course,"—Mrs. Renting seemed frightened and
breathless—“in a little rack besidethe medicine cabinet. I’ll see." She
stepped into the bathroom. After amoment she rejoined us."It’s not there," she remarked de
jectedly."That's quite all right,” Vance returned. “Do you remember whatclothes your husband was wearinglast night when he went to the
opening of the casino in New Jersey?”"Why, he wore a tuxedo.”
Vance walked quickly across theroom and, opening the door beside
the bathroom, looked into the narrow clothes closet.
"But his dinner jacket is hanginghere in the closet, Mrs. Renting.Has he more than one? . , .’’
The woman shook her headvaguely."And I suppose .that Mr. Rentingwore the appropriate evening oxfords with his'dinner coat."
"Naturally,” the woman said.“Amazin',’' murmured Vance.“There are a pair of evening ox
fords standin* neatly on the floor ofthe closet, and the soles are damp
ish—it was rather wet out last night,don’t y’ know, after the rain.”"I really don't understand, Mr.Vance.”
"Arc you familiar with your husband’s wardrobe?” he asked.
“Of course, I am," she returned."In that case,” Vance said politely,
"you can be of great assistance tome if you will glance through thiscloset and tell me whether anything
is missing.”- Mrs. Renting joined Vance at theclothes closet.
“His Glen Urquhart suit is missing.” she said. “It’s the one he gen
erally wears when he goes away fora week-end or a short ‘.rip.*’
"Very interestin'," Vance murmured. “And is it possible for vouto tell me what shoes he may havesubstituted for his evening oxfords?"“Yesl” she said, and immediately
“Shantung silk," Mrs. Renting as
serted. She wa> locking directly atVance, but now her eyes .Mintedquickly to the bed.
"“There’s a pair on---------’’ She 1. ftthe sentence unfinished, and Hr pile
eyes opened still wider. “They're notthere!" she exclaimed excitedly."Thin Shantung?” Vance a-kc<l
"Yes — the sheerest summerweight.”
“Might easily be rolled up andplaced in a pocket?""What do you mean?” she asked
“I really don’t know." Vancespoke with kindjincss "I’m merelyobserving things^ There is no answer
as yet. It’s most puzzlin'."Fleel had been watching and listening attentively, with a shrewd,judicial air.
"I think, Mr. Vance,” he said, "Iknow what is in your mind Know
ing the Kentings as well as I doand knowing the circumstances ir.this household for a great number
of years, I can assure you that itwould be no shock to either of them
if you were To state exactly whatyou think regarding this situation
"I know that it would be heartening—I might even say. an act olmercy—if you stated frankly that
you believe, as I am convinced youdo, that Kaspar planned this couf
himself for reasons that are only toeobvious." -
“My dear sir!’* returned Vance. “Iwould be glad to say anything whichmight relieve Mrs. Renting's anxiety
regarding the fate of her husband.Rut I assure you that at the present
moment the evidence does not warrant extending the comfort of anysuch belief. . .
At this moment there was an interruption. At the hall door ap
peared a short, middle-aged man ♦with a sallow moon-like face, sullen
in expression. He had on a shabbybutler’s livery which was too big forhim and emphasized his awkward
posture. A cringing and subservient<elf-effacemcnt marked his general
attitude despite his air of insolence."What is it, Weem?" Mrs. K ent-/ing asked.
"There is a gentleman—ah officer—at the front door," the butler an
swered in a surly tone, "who sayshe wants to see Sergeant Heath. He
says his name is McLaughlin.”Heath nodded curtly and lookedup at Markham.
"That’s all right, Chief,” he said."McLaughlin was the man on this
heat last night, and I left word atthe Bureau to send him up here as
sooit as they could locate him. Ithought he might know .something,or maybe he saw something, that
would give us a line on what han-p.ened here last night.” Then he
turned back to the butler. "Tell theofficer to wait for me. I’ll be down ina few minutes.”

you are blessed with the means of
making a valuable and truly significant record of the times in which
you live? Magazine, newspaper,
nows-reel and other professional
photographers are doing just that
every day and a vast store of picto
rial history Is accumulating.
Thanks to the progress and spread
of photography our descendants are
going to know much more about theway we lived and acted than we
know of the way our great-grandfa
thers did. Through these millions of
photographs of life and action nowbeing taken our descendants willpossess visual - evidence of the
things we did, how we dressed, how
lite went on in city and country.
Contrast the advantage they will
have over this generation which has
to rely upon the descriptions of writers and the work of artists for its
understanding of life prior to the in
troduction of photography scarcely
more than two generations ago.
However accurate the work of writers and artists may be, it cannotequal the reality and truthfulness ofphotography.
We amateur photographers, now
millions strong in every country, are
also making a tremendous contribu
tion to this photographic record of
our time. Few of us, however, are
doing It by design. Most of us take
pictures tor the present amusement
of ourselves, families and friends
with nqt so much thought to their
value and Interest to our children’schildren. Too few of us take painsto preserve the pictures we take.Well, what do you say to the Idea
of becoming a photographic histo
rian tor the benefit of your- ownposterity? This you can do effectively even on a small scale. It simplymeans making a collection of pictures, taken by yourself, best representing the life, customs, dress andactivities of the present day andplacing them In a special album tokfcep and hand down as a family possession. Some of these pictures willseem commonplace now but as interesting and valuable forty or fiftyyears hence as those of the “gaynineties'* are to us.Select subjects which in yourjudgment are most typical of thecurrent scene. Certainly you should
not neglect to include your own
home life, street scenes and other
views about your changing city, the
homes of the rich and the homes of
the poor, lite. In the country andpresent types ot automobiles, air
planes, railroad trains and otherthings In general use which todayspell modem lite and tomorrow willbe obsolete.
You should not fall to include offguard snapshots of people doingthings illustrative ot common life—
what the artists call genre pictures.
Make your camera your companion
especially in traveling and be ready
for these. For example, a shot out of.
your car window of a scene on theplatform of a railroad station mayseem ordinary enough today but itis a sataple ot common life. Yearshence this picture will be a curiosity.The modern scene is constantlychanging. There is no other mediumthan photography which can show
so truly after a lapse of years what
these changes have been.
