KIWANIS LIEUT.-GOVERNOR
VISITED INGERSOLL CLUB
F. Earl Johnston Paid Official
Visit To Hie Home Club At
Last Thursday Night’s Meet
ing.
Kiwanian F. Earl Johnston in his
official capacity as Lieutenant-Gov
ernor of the Western District of the
Ontario-Quebec-Maritime Division of
Kiwanis International, paid his offi
cial visit to his home club here at
their regular weekly meeting on
Thursday evening last at the Inger
soll Inu^—
There was a good turnout of the
club members to greet Mr. Johnston
and he was presented to the gather
ing by the president of the Ingersoll
Club, Kiwanian Elmer J. Chisholm
who was in charge pf the meeting.
Mr. Johnston referred to his work
as district Lieutenant-Governor and
urged the fullest co-operation be
tween the local club and the Interna
tional organization. He pleaded with
the members to strive for better at
tendance as this was one factor that
helped to hold interest. He offered
some helpful criticism and suggest
ions of a constructive nature which
if put in effect would aid the club.
At the close of Mr. Johnston’s re
marks, a vote of thanks was express
ed to him on behalf of his fellow
members by Past President ReginaldA. Stone.
Several matters of business came
up for discussion at the meeting. A
report from the Child Welfare Com
mittee, in the absence of its chair
man, Kiwanian T. D. Maitland, was
given by President Chisholm. It -was
stated that 22 members of the club
had visited the hospital Thursday
afternoon, on Hospital Day, to in
spect the new Childrens’ Ward that
had been decorated, and furnished
by the club.
A recommendation from the di
rectors was accepted with regard to
some definite' undertaking of assist
ance and guidance with playgrounds
during the coming summer. The mat
ter'of some form of playground sup
ervision has been before the club
for a considerable time. Until this
year jt was not taken up in a real
definite way. At the previous direct
ors’ meeting a committee was ap
pointed to meet with a committee
from the “Y” to consider this mat
ter. The result of this Joint meet
ing was the formation of what is to
be known as a Ki-Y committee to
share < ’X responsibility of play
ground curection. The club is not
anxious to have this regarded ns
playground supervision.
Rather would the club members
have this regarded as an assistance
in the matter of playground games
and contests for the development of
better and more helpful undertakings
for the young people of- the commun
ity. ‘L. M. Sommers, the "Y” Secre
tary and director, was appointed to
take over the direction of games at
the playgrounds, and the club re
quests full co-opi>rati(w; from thoi-a
of the sport-loving fraternity to
assist in this work.

MAITLAND THEATRE
COMPLETELYRENOVATED
Interior and Exterior Are
Beautifully Refinished. NewScreen, New 'Equipment,
New Lighting Effect* andSeats.
The many who have visited the
Maitland Theatre, | Ingersoll, since
its re-opening on . Saturday, have
greatly admired the beautiful re
decorated interior, lovely new
screen and modernistic lighting
effects.
The work of remodelling and re
decorating was in charge of Borne
& Company, Toronto, who specialize
in theatre and church decorating,
and local labor was used to assist in
the work.
The ceiling and top walls are re
finished in sky blue, the beams are
kept-in a two tone effect, /while'the
lower walls were sani-tiled and div
ided into panels, finished in a three
tone effect of orange buff. The de
signs are modernistic and all differ
ent, having been done by free hand.
Lovely new modernistic lighting
effects greatly enhance the theatre’s
appearance as does the striking col
ors of the seat coverings. A new
screen, also new projection and
sound equipment, adds much to the
quality of the pictures and to the
restfulness of both the eyes and ears.
The local sound system has long
been regarded as one of the most
perfect in the country and the for
mer ; good acoustic properties have
been improved somewhat by the use
of special paint, and an air condition
ing system will keep the theatre cool
and comfortable throughout the
warm summer months.
The outside of the building ha*
been brightened * in colors of buff
and Chinese red, making the Mait
land Theatre a credit to the town
and district surrounding Ingersoll
that it serves. A splendid run of
outstanding pictures has been booked
for the next few ■ months and the
showing* and dates win be announ
ced regularly in the column* of The
Ingersoll Tribune.

VEALE, PublisherPHONES:—Tribune Office IS - Rerid eneo, 44X4.THURSDAY, MAY 19th, 1938The EmeraldWhen the emerald is mentioned, one’s thoughtsnaturally turn to Ireland, where the grass is morebeautiful than anywhere else on earth. As the shipnears Ireland, say Dublin, bearing a visitor making hisfirst tnp to the country and the early morning hazelifts, revealing the beauty of the land, the gteat en
chantment is the rich green colour of the verdured
hills and slope*. No man who has never been there
has ever seen its like. That is why poets sing loving
ly of the Emerald Isle.
The emerald is the birthstone of May. It is the
emblem of Hope and Faith. The ancients dedicated
it to the goddess Venus, and it seems always to have
been the gem of lovely women. The Egyptian mines
were owned by the famous Qeen Cleopatra, who gave
emeralds, engraved with her portrait, to her ambass
adors. Napoleon’s only gifts in jewellery to Joseph
ine were emeralds and pearls. Catherine the Great
had a vast collection. Caesar was a collector. Nero
wore one as a monocle when observing the games.
He found that the green colour relieved the strain.
The book of Revelations tells us that the fourth
foundation stone of the wall of the Holy City was
an emerald. The second row of gems on Aaron’s
breastplate was partly emeralds.
The finest emeralds are said to come from Colom
bia. There are green jades, green garnets, and
beryls, but they are not emeralds. Canada’s impor
tations are not exactly classified but are probably
worth, at the ports of entry, about $50,000 a year,
according'to the External Trade Branch of the Dom
inion Bureau of Statistics, Department of Trade and
Commerce.
Lower Lightning Costs
There has beeh a very noticeable decrease in re
cent years in the cost of electricity for domestic use.
Taking the cost all over the Dominion as a whole the
reduction in the last ten years has been ten per cent.
Ther<>as been a lowering of the cost in every prov
ince, but in some provinces the drop has been much
faster than in others. In Prince Edward Island the
charges now are 33 per cent less than in 1928, while
in Ontario they are four per cent less.Nova Scotia did pretty well, bringing down the cost
25 per cent, New Brunswick’s charges being 6 per
cent less. There has been a great deal of publicity
given to costs of electricity for domestic use in the
Province of Quebec, but the fact is that the average
cost has been reduced almost 20 per cent in ten
years.Coming to the Prairies, Manitoba’s costs have
dropped about g ’A per cent, Saskatchewan has made
a 24 per cent cut and Alberta over 20 per cent. In
British Columbia the average rate is down about
1 % per cent.
It should be noted that these figures only reflect
the trends in each province and not the relative costs
as between the provinces. Although Prince Edward
Island has made a great reduction in ten years and

Tkff^Salvation Army
No religious organization has ever won such com
plete and world-wide respect, even affection, as the
Salvation Army has achieved in the sixty years since
“General" William Booth, the son of an English
Jewish tailor, first led his uniformed "army" of mili
tant Christians through the streets of London amid
the jeers of the mob. It was a new manifestation
and so to be suspected. It was different from any
established religious movement, and so was too un
dignified to be taken seriously by church people.
It did not take many years, however, for the world
to learn that the Salvation Army was not trying to
set up a new church, but to reach the unfortunates
whom the church could not or did not reach. That
has been its mission the whole world over since 1878.
How far it has succeeded in bringing not only the
light of the Gospel but the material help without
which mere preaching falls on- stony ground, is testi
fied by the history of hundreds of thousands to whom
the devoted "soldiers” of 'the Salvation Army bring
help and comfort daily and nightly.
“No man may say of another that he cannot be
raved," wrote a wise philosopher of the Salvation
Army’s work. "Lead, Kindly Light," is the Army’s
song of faith. No corner of the earth is too dark for
the light borne by the Salvationist^ to penetrate; no
drifting, hopeless soul too lost to receive shelter and
help and hope and a kindly hand to lift it from the
depths.
There is no more fitting way in which anyone can
demonstrate his or her loving kindness toward his
brother* 6r sisters who have fallen by the wayside
than to help th (^Salvation. Army.
Give Dirigibles a Chance ,
An American editor says perhaps it is just as well
that the proposed sale of helium gas from American
saurcea to the German Zeppelin company has been
halted by Federal officials who are not convinced
that Germany would not use its new airships for mili
tary purposes^ '
It seems too bad, however, that Congress is un
willing to appropriate money for the further develop
ment of-rigid airships by our own Navy. If the Ger
mans can build and operate them successfully, cer
tainly Americans can,
With non-inflammable helium as their lifting power,
aircraft of the Zeppelin type might easily prove to
be the safest and most economical vehicles of air
navigation. It would be worth while to give them a
fair trial anyjway.
Unseen EnemiesLurking da the protection of invisibility are millions of unseen enemies waging a continuous waragainst mankind, says an article in a recent issue ofthe C4-L Oval.It is just recently that the lack of sanitary methodsfor washing, eating and drinking utensils in manyOntario restaurants, taverns and lunch counters wasbrought to light through a survey conducted underthe supervision of the Ontario Board of Health. Thereport of the investigators proved that unsanitarymethods of washing dishes could be responsible forthe spread of such saliva-borne infections as pneumonia, tuberculous, influenza, scarlet fever andmeasles. In their efforts to safeguard the public
health and to find a remedy to counteract Uris con
dition the authorities turned to the industrial chemist
who has supplied a safe means of rectifying this vital
social problem by the introduction of a dish washing
powder containing 70-75 per cent available chlorine
content which, if adopted generally throughout the
country, will provide another highlight in the national
picture of sanitation.
TH E DO C TO R
Tells The Story
by W. E. AUGH1NBAUGH, M.D.
THE HUMAN EYE
The eyes are the sentinels of the human body.
There are running eyes, roving eyes, leaping eyes,
bold eyes, asking eyes, asserting eyes, eyes full of
fate, eyes of good and bod omen. Eyes converse more
than the tongues of men.
Infants are born mentally blind, despite what dot
ing mothers think. To the newly born the world is
a hazy blur and they cannot co-ordinate or appreciate
what they see until mental vision is developed, which
is usually about three months after birth. By that
I mean to say that the child does not recognize obr
jects or individuals, or even its mother, until that old.
HOW SEEING DEVELOPS
Both eyes are not used simultaneously until this
age when co-ordination of accommodation and con
vergence occurs with correlation of mental images to
the outside world. If the faculty of seeing with
both eyes is not developed after three months, child
ren usually squint and ultimately may lose the sight
of the crooked eye. The ability to see accurately
with each eye is acquired early in life and the abil
ity to see with both eyes together later in life.
Formerly it was the popular belief that if a child
squinted or had eye trouble the thing to do was Jo
wait until about the fourteenth year when the oculist
should be consulted. Unfortunately these children
do not grow out of this condition, but it becomes more
fixed. Cross eyes have done much to ruin the future
of untold thousands of persons.
CORRECTING CROSSED EYES
The right thing "to do with the cross-eyed child'is to
take him to a physician who specializes in diseases of
the eyp. Under proper, scientific care fully 70 per
cent of cross-eyed children can be certain that their
eyes will be straightened, by the use of proper glasses
and appropriate exercises. No qualified doctor will
operate until other methods of treatment have been
tried. Rdmember that the correct thing for the par
ent to do is to bring the child to a doctor as soon as
a squint is* observed, even if the child is only three
months of age.

TODAY andTOMORROWby Frank Barker StockbridgeAMATEURS . . .I s m »hirUThe ablest and shrewdest financierknown ia Bernard M. Baruch. Hehas made more millions than mostmen of our time by buying and selling securities on Wall Street. Foryears he made that sort of tradinghis whole business, devoting all of
I is thought and effort to it. Once
he was asked to tell how an ordinary
person could make money in stock
speculation. ."You can’t," he said,
“No amateur can. You’ll lose your
shirt if you try."
The other day Mr. Baruch told a
Congressional Committee “the pub
lic is always wrong in trying to spec
ulate successfully in the stock mar
ket. The public buys at the wrong
time and sells at the wrong time."
I think that is true of most people
who try to make money in lines in
which they have little training or ex
perience. It looks easy to an out
sider to run a grocery store, but 95
per cent of the people who try it
fail. Nothing looks easier than Tos
canini conducting a symphony or
chestra, but he gets $40,000 a year
because there are few men who can
do it at all and none as well.
RUSSIA . .still "purging"
The news coming out of Russia
of the “purge” of the Communist
party by the execution of some of
the men who have been leaders in
governmental activities because they
arc alleged to have been unfaithful
to party principles ought to make a
Jot of young Americans stop and
think. What happens whenever a
single group tries to control the
thoughts and actions of a whole
people is that every so often a lot
of people whose thoughts and acts
might threaten ' the control of the
group in power have to be killed off.
There is no meana-short of physi
cal force to make people conform to
regulations which run contrary to
their beliefs, traditions and customs.
All “authoritarian” governments use
similar methods.
In Italy, Mussolini uses castor oil
in huge doses instead of bullets. To
insure his control of the government,
voters arc given ballots containing
only one name for each office. To
insure a unanimous vote, posters are
put up declaring that “anyone who
does not vote is sick. Anyone who is
sick needs castor oil." That method
is effective in keeping Fascism in
power by “popular" vote!
OYSTERS . . . where best
One reason I am always glad to
have the opportunity to visit Wash
ington is that 1 can be sure of get
ting the best oysters that can be had
anywhere to my knowledge. To my
mind, there is nothing quite so de
licious as a big, fat Chesapeake Bay
oystef, fresh out of the water as you
can get them only in Baltimore,
Norfolk and Washington. These suc
culent bivalves are most delicious
served raw on the half-shell with a
sauce made of a mixture of tomato
ketchup and grated horseradish with
just a drop or two of tabasco.
I have eaten oysters on the Pacific
coast, In Florida and in Europe.
There is no oyster grown to equal
those from the waters of the north
ern Atlantic coast The oyster beds
of Long Island Sound produce fine
ones, but the Chesapeake Bay pro
duct surpasses them all.
Someone has said that the first *
man to ever ent an oyster had some
thing heroic in his make-up. You
have to be “raised” on oysters to
really like them. But for those
who do like them there are few foods
more delirious,
RADIO ..... since 1921
I heard my first radio broadcast in
1921, less than 17 years ago. No
body else had heard a radio broad
cast much before then. There were
three radio broadcasting stations in
the United States at that time and
none anywhere else in the world.
The receiving sets were primitive
contraptions In which a small wire,
known as a “cat’s whisker” had to
be adjusted to touch a piece of rock
crystal at a particular point
The other day I saw a statement
issued by the International Broad
casting office in Geneva stating that
there are 69,700,000 receiving seta
in use throughout the world. In Am
erica there are .more than 600
broadcasting stations.
Therein is a conclusive answer to
the pessimists who are always be
wailing that progress has stopped
and opportunity with it. An entire,
great new world-wide industry has
been created in less than. 18 years
with nothing but an Invention to
start with. Billions of capital hnve
found profitable Investment, millions
of men and women given employ
ment. At this-moment there are
THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1938hundreds of naw inventions underdevelopment, anyone of which mayhold the same sort of opportunity.HEAT .... .kctric.llyI talked not. long ago with a greatelectrical engineer. He told me anew method of using electrical energy to produce heat which is still inthe experimental stage. Laboratorytests, he Mid, indicate that thetime is close when heating buildingsby electric current will cost only aquarter as much as coal or oil.A new and far more economical
way of carrying electricity over long
distances was announced the other
day. When such new inventions be
come commercially available, what a
revolution will come about in our
methods of building and living!

‘AS A WOMAN SEES IF— By Arabella —AUSTRALIA and CAPTAIN COOKOur sister Dominion has recentlybeen celebrating the one hundredand fiftieth anniversary of its settlement by white people. This distant land which is said to be world'slargest island and smallest ‘contin
ent, has an area slightly more than
two-thirds the size of Canada, with
a population of approximately sev
en million people, as compared with
Canada’s eleven million.
As in Canada, large tracts of land
are still uninhabited by white
people, nor are they likely to be set
tled for many years to come, as the
soil and land formation are not such
ns to sustain a white population as
long as there are more suitable sec
tions.
On the other hand, man has a re
markable gift for adapting nature to
his own requirements, even though
not always economically, so that it
is hardly wise to attempt to prophesy
what the future holds for those iso
lated places.
In connection with the celebra
tions the name of Captain James
Cook is important for he it was who
claimed the Continent in the name
oi King George III. And right
here, let us advise those who seek,
thrilling tales of adventure to read
“Cook’s Volages.” He sailed the
seven seas, he explored lands un
heard of and unthought of; he es
tablished friendly relations with
primitive tribes that had never seen
a white man; he made valuable
contributions to science by collect
ing specimens of the fauna and flora
native to those lands; he added to
the territorial possessions of the Brit
ish Empire. Nor did his accomplish
ments end there, for he rendered
valuable services at the capture of
Quebec, by making soundings of the
river and the shore. Because * of
his accuracy of his charts the
troopships were able to proceed un
der cover of darkness to a point of
vantage. The result of that man
oeuvre is well known.
Captain Cook’s charts of the St.
Lawrence River were the first ones
made for the British Navy, for in
those days those waters were almost
entirely navigated by the ships of
Fiance.
Life was full of adventure for this
capable and intrepid explorer, and,
he escaped death from the hands of
the Indians on more than one oc
casion.
Finally he was cruelly massacred
by natives of the Sandwich Islands,
in 1779.
Even at the present time Romance
has not finished with Captain Cook’s
name, for in recent years a legend
has been revived in Scotland that
Captain Cook was a half-brother of
Ronnie Prince Charlie. It claimed
that King’ James III lived in retire
ment as a gardener in England, and
that Captain Cook' was his son born
at that time.
Fact is sometimes stranger than
fiction, so that the theory’ is not al
together improbable.
Captain Cook did not leave any
descendants, bbt the descendants of
his sisters and brother, as his legal
heirs are likely, to acquire a consid
erable fortune if they can sustanti-
ate their claim to a tract of land in
Australia, said to have been granted
to their illustrious kinsman by King
George III.
If Captain Cook was of Stuart de
scent, it was only apparent in
his love of adventure, for he was a
capable, level-headed man, not at all
resembling the notorious champions
of lost causes. y

A dummyand secreted In a tree in Central Park,package is substituted for the moneyThe police capture Mrs Falloway whoadmits privately to Vance she is reallytrving to forestall an attempt by herson, Fraim, to take the money. SheIs not held. Immediately afterward.Madeleine Renting, wife of Kaspar,also disappears suddenly. That night,while walking home. Eldridge Fleel Ismachine-gunned at close range froma passing autu’nobile but not hurt-Vance suspects a ruse. Heath, Markham and Vance go to Markham s officeand learn that Kenyon Renting s bodyhas been found in the East River.While there Kenyon Renting arriveswith a second ransom note as doesFlee! who also received a note. Vanesexamines both and discovers a crypticmeaning in the Flcel communication.The hidden meaning prompts Vance toInvestigate further.
And lie tossed it negligently tome with a nod of his head toward
usual today; nor was I able to reachhim at his home.""Two missin’ men," commentedVance. "Very sad But no needto be upset. Just a private matterbeing handled privately, I fear. The
only thing left for you is to ringdown the curtain temporarily, andbide your time. Incidentally, what
are your plans for the evening?”“I have to get dressed and attenda damned silly banquet tonight,"
grumbled Markham."It’ll probably do you good,’ said
Vance. “And when you make yourspeech, you can solemnly assureyour bored listeners that the situa
tion is under control, and that developments are expected very soon—or golden words to that effect.”Markham remained a short timelonger and then went out. Vance
resumed his interrupted reading.Promptly at half-past eight the
Sergeant arrived.“I still think you’re daffy. Mr.Vance,,” he said good-naturedly, as
he took a long drink of Bourbon.“However, everything is being at
tended to."“If I’m wrong. Sergeant,” saidVance with pretended entreaty,
“you must never divulge our littlesecret. The humiliation would be
ing. Nobody here. You have wronghouse. Go away." ,,Vance had already stepped inside,and in a flash he drew a large handkerchief from his outer breast pocket and crushed it against the China
man's mouth, pinioning him.againstthe wall. Then I noticed the reason
for Vance’s act:—only a foot or soaway was an old-fashioned pushbell toward which the Chinaman
had been slyly reaching.Suddenly, with the most amazingquickness and dexterity, he forcedhis head upward and leaped onVance, like a wrestler executing a
flying tackle, and twined his legsabout Vance's waist, at the same
throwing his arms round Vance'sneck. It was an astonishing (pat of
nimble accuracy.But, with a movement, almost asquick as the Chinaman’s, Heath,
who was standing close to Vance,brought the butt of his revolver
down on the yellow man’s headwith terrific force. The Chinaman’s
legs disentangled themselves: hisarms relaxed; his head fell baek;and he began slipping limply to the
floor. Vance caught him and easedhim down noiselessly. Leaning over
for a moment, he looked at theChinaman by the flame of his ciga-

Vance now stood in the centre ofthe room, gazing down at the floor,
deep in thought as he‘smoked.“It could be—it could be,” hemurmured. And I felt that he was
making an effort to control himself.“I want to see a detailed map of
New York right away""On that wall—over there.” Mark-iam was watching him closely. -
After a few minutes' search ofShe intersecting lines he turned back
to Markham with a curious look onhis face and heaved a sigh of relief.
o “Let me see that yellow slip withO the official bound’ries of the Westchester Station post-office district"
Markham, still patiently silent,handed him the paper. Vance took
it back to the map with him, andbegan to trace an imaginary zigzagline with his finger. I heard himenumerating, half to himself: “Pelham, Kingsland, Mace, Gunhili,
Bushnell, Hutchinson River ...""That’s it! That’s irl" His voicehad a peculiar pitch. “I think I
have found the meaning of thatlibras e.”The pinched yellow face of a Chinaman peered out.

"Yvhat fn the name ef ffekven
do you mean?” Markham had halfrisen from his chair.‘“This year of our Lord,' and
the numerals. There’s a LordStreet in that outlined section—up
near Givans Basin — a section ofopen spaces and undeveloped highways. And the year 19—” and he
gate the othet two digits. "That‘sthe house number—they run in the
nineteen-hundreds over near thewater on Lord Street. And, incidentally, I note that the only
, logical way to reach there is to takethe Lexington Avenue subway uptown.”
"I'm going with you, Mr. Vance,"Heath said, in a voice that was both
stolid and final. "I got a feelingyou may be needin' me. An* I sorta
like the idea of that address youfigured out. Anyhow, I'll havesomething to tell my grandchildren
about learnin’ how wrong youwere.”
Vance and I had luncheon at theCaviar Restaurant, and he lingered• unconsciously long over his favorite
brand, which they always kept forhim and bought out ceremoniously
when htWppcarcd at that restaurant.We went directly home after he
had finished, and Vance spent theentire afternoon in desultory readingin the library.
A little before six o’clock Markham came in unexpectedly.
“Well, Vance,” he said banter-mgly, “I suppose you’re still indulg
ing your flair for melodramatic reticence. However, I'll respect youridiosyncrasies—with tongue in cheek,of course.”
"Most generous of you,” mur
mured Vance. “I'm overwhelmed.’ . hat do you wish ,o tcl1 m«?"I haven't heard yet from eitherFleel or Kcnting . . he began."I rather expected that bit of
news.” Vance rose and, ringing forhis butler, ordered drinks. Then, ashe resumed his seat, he went on.
“Really, there’s nothing to worryabout. They liave probably decided
to proceed without the bunglin’assistance of the police this time—
those last notes were pretty insistent on that point. Kenting un
doubtedly has received his instructions. ... By the by, have you triedto communicate with him?”
Markham nodded gravely.“I tried to reach jiim at his office
an hour ago, and was told he hadgone home. I called him there, butthe butler told me he had come in
and had just gone out without leaving any instructions except that hewould not be home for dinner.”
"Very interestin',” murmured
Vapce. "Elusive chap. Food fortbojight, Markham Think it over."1 tlso<dp!ed td 8et in touch‘with
Fleel, Markham continued doggedly. “But he, like Kenting it
seems, had left his office earlier than
flw tee gMM. And I’m waxin’ oldand sensitive."
We went down to the street insilence—Vance’s instructions to Currie had struck me as curiously por
tentous. We got into Vance’s car,which was waiting outside. Heath
and I in the tonneau and Vance atthe wheel
He placed the map on the seatbeside him and drove on. At the intersection of East 177th Street he
made a sharp turn to the left. Aftera few more turns a street sign
showed that we were oh BassettAvenue, and Vance continued to the
north. At its upper end iyc foundourselves at a small stretch of water.
"I’ve gone a little too far," Vanceinformed us. “But I'll go through tothe next avenue—Waring, I think it
is—turn south there, and park thecar just round the corner from LordStreet The number we’re lookingfor should be there or thereabouts.”It took a few minutes to make the
detour, for the road\yay was unsuitable for automobile traffic. Vance
shut off all his lights as we approached the comer, and we drovethe last half block in complete dark
ness. The gliding car made no soundunder Vance's efficient handling;
cvcn the closing of the doo s, as wegot out, could not be heard morethan a few feet away.
We proceeded on foot into LordStreet
“It would be on this side of thestreet,* Vance said, in a low, vibrant
voice. “This is the even-numberside. My guess is its’ that next two-
story structure, just beyond this vacant lot”When we stood in front of the
small frame dwelling, it seemed particularly black. There was no lightshowing- at any of the windows.
Until we accustomed our eyes to thedarkness it looked as if the place
had no windows at all.Heath tiptoed up the three sag
ging wooden steps that led to thenarrow front porch and flashed hislight close to the door. Crudely
painted on the lintel was the number we sought. At one side of the
door was an old-fashioned bell-pullwith a white knob, and Vance gave
it a tentative jerk.Tfierc was a faint tinkle inside,
and we stood waiting. I saw Heathslip his hand into the pocket wherehe carried his gun.
After a long delay, during whichwe rentgined there without a sound
we heard a leisurely shifting of thebolts. The-door then opened a fewinches, and the pinched yellow face
of an undersized Chinaman peeredout cautiously at us.“What you want?" he asked."We want to speak to Mrs. Kenting." said Vance, scarcely above a
whisper. •"She not here," the Chinaman an
swered. "Me no know Missy Kent-
rette lighter, and then straightened
“P-
“He’d good for an hour, at least.Sergeant,” he said in a hoarse whis
per. "My word! You're so brutal.As we filed noiselessly up the
dimly-lit stairs, Vance leading theway, Heath just behind him, and Ibringing up the rear, I was assailed
by a terrifying premonition of disaster, '
As Vance stepped into the hallway above, which was narrower and
dingier than the one downstairs, hestood tensely still for a moment,looking about him. There was only
one small lighted gas jet at the rearof the hall. Suddenly the muffled
sound of voices came to us, but wecould not distinguish any words.Vance moved steadily toward thefront of the house and stood beforethe only door on the left of the cor
ridor. A line of faint light outlinedlhe threshold, and it was now evi
dent that the voices cam* fromwithin that room.
After listening a moment Vancetried the doorknob with extremecare. To our surprise the door was
not locked, but swung back easilyinto a long, narrow, squalid room inthe centre of which stood a plaindeal table. At one end of the table,by the light of an oil lamp, two illy
dressed men sat playing casino,judging by th6 distribution of thecards. »
Though the (room was . filled withcigarette smoke, I immcdiatelv recognized one of tlie men as theshabby figure .1 had seen leaning
against the ben»h in Central Parkthe night befo*%.
The two men sprang to their feet
instantaneously, turning in ourdirection.
"Down, Van!" ordered Vance;and his call was submerged under
two deafening detonations accompanied by two flashes from a re
volver in the hands of the man nearest us. The bullet must have gone
over us. for both Heath and I haddropped quickly to the floor/atVance’s order. Almost immediately
-7S0 quickly as to" lie practicallysimultaneous — there came two re
ports from Vance’s automatic, andI saw the man who had shot at u»
pitch forward. The thud of his bodyon /he floor coincided with the
crash of.the lamp, knocked over bythe second man. The room wasplunged in complete darkness.
"Stay down, Vap!" came the commanding voice of Vance.’ Almost as he spoke there was astaccato exchange of shots. All Icould see were the brilliant flasher
from the automatics. I lay flat onmy stomach across the door-sill, myhead spinning dizzily, my muscles
paralyzed with fear for Vance.

furniture keep these same essentials
foremost in your tmind. You are

Matching Color-Scheme*
Now you can carry out the color
scheme of your bath-room, powder-
room or milady’s chamber with your
bottles of toilet water and perfume.
A most attractive array of perfume
powder and cosmetic containers are
available in mottled red, alabaster,
green and burnt orange. A de
lightful perfume bottle is inspired
by the tall, colorful domed mosques
of ancien Deltah. Both the bottle
and the perfume are as subtle and
mysterious as India herself.
Squeaky Furniture
The artificial heat of winter has a
way of loosening joints in furniture
to such an extent that chairs squeek
disconcertingly when subjected to
even a slight weight. With dining
room chairs especially, probably the
only remedy is to take them apart;
thoroughly clean out the old glue
and reglue them. Be sure you are
using a good quality of liquid glue
or your work will be for naught.
Coat both parts of a joint, return
them to their exact position and
bind them firmly and securely with
heavy soft cord to hold them in
place until the glue hardens. A
rlightly loosened joint can often be
remedied without taking the piece
of furniture apart. Soften the old
glue with vinegar and scrape out as
much as possible. Then force in
new glue or cement or whatever you
.may prefer with a toothpick. Bind
fnmly until the cement hardens.
