Miss Shirley McQuiggan, age 13 years, proved herself an excellent speller, when she spelled down all other contestants to ^emerge victor­ ious in first place. The spelling bee lasted some 20 minutes and the leader, Mr. Steadman had to resort to some very “catchy” words to end the match, the final word being “diphtheria,” which was mimpelled by Mac Murray, S. S. 9, Adelaide, the runner up, and correctly spelled by Shirley. Then too, Miss Margaret Longfield, ten years old, came home with second prize in the junior reading competition. This is the first time in the history of the school fair competitions, that any one school has won so many prizes or that any one pupil has won iftore than one first as was won by Yvonne Boyes, who captured two firsts.

CATTLE BREEDERS HOLD BANQUET Middlesex County DairyCattle Breeder*’ Association Meet In Dorchestei< Dorchester-The annual banquet of the Middlesex County Dairy Cattle Breeders, was held recently in Dor­ chester Hall, with more thap 200 in attendance and Angus Armour, pre­ sident of the association, presided. George Marr, chairman of the Board of Trustees, welcomed the members and congratulated them on the pro­ duction of show cattle and R.O.P. test herds. J. Bogue, past president of the association, responded to the wel­ come and paid tribute to the late J. B. Carmichael, a former official. Warden Angus McGeachy who wel­ comed the association members on behalf of Dorchester Township and the county, also stressed the need for reduced production costa. He said the price of cheese always con­ trols the price of every milk product and since cheese must be sold on the foreign markets, we must de­ crease production costs. This could be accomplished he believed, by in­ troducing dairy cows into the herds from pure bred-stack, that would pro­ duce more milk on the same amount of feed. The warden also congratulated the association on its record of ad­ vancing the dairy industry. He said no organization hod done more for the industry : than the Middlesex Dairy Breeders. C. R. May of the London Rotary Club and W. K. Riddell, agricultural representative for Middlesex;, pres­ ented prizes' to the winners in the Middlesex Dairy Calf Club compe­ titions.

R. VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONESTribune Office, 13 - Residence, 442A Member of The Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ Association Slippery Days Are HereDuring the past week the citizens of Ingersollhave been reminded in a very tangible manner thatthe winter season has arrived, and with it the daysof slippery, dangerous streets and roada. For this reason it is necessary for both motorist* and pedes­ trians to exercise particular care to avoid accidenta When the sidewalks become icy they always exacl a toll of injured persons. Hence it is just as necessary for those who walk to be careful as for those who drive. However, the warning applies particularly to motor drivers, because when the roads become covered with ice and snow there is always danger of cars skidding, especially under circumstances where brakes may have to be applied in attempts to avoid mishaps. Statistics show that a large number of acci­ dents occur during the dark hours of the short days. Therefore it is wise to be on guard under these cir­ cumstances. The injunction of the department of highways to drive safely is especially applicable dur­ ing the approach of the winter season. It is not al­ ways easy for motorists to change over-night from their style of driving on clean highways, where speed is perfectly in order, to roads where, ever and anon, they encounter slippery places. Let the slogan for winter driving be ’’care, courtesy and safety” “AS A WOMAN SEES IT”— By Arabella — THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1938 Christmas, Children’s Day In endorsing all worthy enterprises that are being conducted at this season of the year to raise funds for Christmas Cheer work, we think especially of the children. What can touch the heart more than the thought of the possibility of some child having a sad Christmas? December the 25th is the Day of the Child. It is upon this day of days that countless men and women utter the great rejoicing: For unto us a Child is bom, unto u» a Son is given! Even those who hold creeds in which there is no Christmas, feel the splendor of that cry, and those who have no formal creed at all, still know there is •ne of the 305 portions of the year which is essen­ tially the Day of the Child. It is the day when even the most unsentimental •dult, long since congealed and hardened by the years, ■an hear in his heart the footsteps of the little ones. On this day even the professional skeptic becomes as a child himself, and considers it hard indeed if he ■annot believe in Santa Claus, bearded fairy god­ father of the children. Let us all do our part this year to make sure that no little child is disappointed Christmas morning. May there be joy and laughter in every home in this district and no signs of tears when little ones with anxious and expectant hearts rush to see what Santa left. Solving The Farm Problem The ultimate solution of the farmers’ problem, we have been told for many years, is the development of new uses for the products of the soil. The Farm Chemurgic Council has spent much money and time in laboratory research to discover industrial uses for farm crops, and with encouraging success. Now the United States Department of Agriculture is starting out on the same line. Four regional lab­ oratories are to be established under a new Bureau of Agri«{Jtural Technology- and Engineering, headed by Dr. Henry G. Knight, chief of the Bureau of Chem­ istry*. The purpose is to find new* ways of tying agricul­ ture to industry, by developing industrial uses for such items as corn, wheat, fruits, vegetables, pota­ toes, cotton, sweet potatoes, peanuts, tobacco, apples, and milk. Those are on the list of farm products in which the first research efforts will be made. In the meantime, an important step toward indus­ trial utilization of the potato crop has been made. At Houlton, Main, the center of the great Aroostook potato district, two new starch mills are being built One of them, with a capacity of 2,000 barrels of po­ tatoes a day, Will turn out 20 tons a day of starch for the use of New England textile manufacturers, by a new process which takes only six hours instead of 72 from raw potato to finished starch. The other will make a type of starch new in indus­ try, which has heretofore been imported. That is the sort of thing which will do more to put agriculture on a stable footing than all the benefit payments, crop control plans and price-fixing projects that anyone has proposed. A Sane Christmas Christmas is called the most beautiful holiday of the year, one that glows with poetic imagination and lovely sentiment. And yet it has its incongru­ ities and contradictions, and it needs some remaking, if it is to be reasonable and helpful to us all. The most undesirable feature of it has always the grand rush to buy gifts and send them off during about 10 days previous to the holiday. People for years have been shown how unbusinesslike it is, how it makes the cost of distributing Christmas gifts higher how it imposes a heavy burden on store, people and post office employees, how many of these folks are all tired out when the grand scrimmage ends. And yet people continue in this ancient habit, and no doubt we shall see this year the same old rush. But the agitation for early buying of gifts, has accom­ plished something, and a good many people do so as far as they cdn. The reason commonly given for this final rush is that people haven’t the money ahead, and they have to wait until just before the holiday before they are able to- buy the things they want Still, there are plenty of people for whom that excuse does not apply. The Fireside Blaze When the winter snew comes, the fire on the open hearth cheers millions of families through the crisp and cool evenings. In former times the family used to spend many hours in front of the dancing flames. People had heart to heart talks before the firetide, and discussed everything from cooking pumpkin pio to the tariff and foreign relations. The fire on the hearth stirs currents of memory of former days and old faces one used to see. It is said that people do not stay at home as they used to, that they want to be on the go all the time. When you build a fireplace into a house and start a fire there frequently, it makes home seem swector and the evening at home more delightful. Changing Jobs In the so-called good old times people used to work along for year's and years under one employer. They took real pride in their jobs, and put enthusias­ tic effort into them. In these days people usually show energy in their work, but they have too much of a tendency to work awhile in one place and then go somewhere else. In many cities it might be found,’ for instance, that half the store clerks had changed their pl^ce of employment within a year.Why do pedjle thus change from place to place? W’as it ambition that led some to seek positions higher up? Were some or many of them discharged because of poor work? How many were simply rest­ less, dissastisfied with their hours of labor or pay, and thought they could do better elsewhere? Whatever the motive for these changes, they tend to disorganize business, and make the processes of industry cost more. Employers constantly . spend time breaking in new* help. Restless people learn a little of one job, then they go elsewhere and learn a little of that. At the end of a period of years, they have made no progress toward attaining com­ petence in any one occupation. We need more stickers, people who will throw- themselves into their tasks with enthusiasm, make 'a determined effort to learn everything there is to know about that trade. Workers of that kind are eagerly deaired in whatever occupation they have acquired experience.

AUGHINBAUGH, M.D. Few know of or appreciate what the rural nurses are doing for the majority of the people who live in the out of the way localities of this country, away from the beaten tracks of civilization. These heroic women, living in the backwoods, and other remote places, are rendering a great service to those residing in the areas to which they are assigned. Formerly the only nursing a siok person living in a cabin in some remote mountain region had was from some local woman, steeped in superstition and ig­ norant of the first principles and catering to those who suffered and upon whom disease had laid its crushing hand. Usually this attention, which came from the mother or wife ct some woman neighbor, lacked scientific requirements and was hopelessly tied up and intgr- woven with local superstitions and weird practices. As a consequence the death rate for rural communi­ ties materially increased, especially in such diseases as tuberculosis, pellagra, typhoid fever, malaria and diptheria. The mortality among labor cases in thebe places has been extremely high and health protection has not advanced to any great extent. In such commun­ ities bad teeth were common, because 70 per cent, of the people have never used tooth brushes or denti­ frices. Among colored people the death rate in these sections of the United States is exceptionally high. To fight the great battle against ignorance, disease and lack of proper water, food and other supplies, there are now 3,000 rural pubic health nurses who serve an approximate population of 53,000,000 souls —about one nurse to every 27,000 people! Let me give the record of one day’s work for one of these visiting rural nurses, in aouthern Virginia. At midnight she attended a young negro womanwho had her first child. ”' This woman had been de­ serted by her husband, so the nurse cooked food enough for the next day, made the mother and her first baby comfortable, and slept in the house until 5 a.m., when she went to bathe a typhoid patient, and make him comfortable for the" day. From 7 a.m. until noon she visited six people, dressing their wounds and administering various treatments to them. After lunch which she pre­ pared and ate at the home of a paralyzed woman, she made three calls on patients, dressed a man's wounds, who had been stabbed four times, washed and cleansed the foot of a youth whose rabbit gun had shot him, and set the leg of a man who was seriously injured by a tree which fell on him. After dinner, she fed her horse, for she rode the mountain trails with a medical kit on her mount, went to bed at home, only to be awakened^by a request for aid from a man who had been shot\jt a moun­ tain speak-easy. Instead off young women becoming missionaries and going abroad, what greater opportunity for good can they find than helping the submerged part of our population develop into a better type of citizen, through their ministrations? AFRICA’S OLDEST MAN The search for spirits need not lead us beyond this realm. This world is full of them, flesh and blood people, who are putting into their everyday life, character and person­ ality to inspire their fellow-men, and live in their memories forever. One doubts the reasonableness of trying to recall from the spirit­ world, those who have been commit­ ted to Divine eare, by Christian burial. Can we not leave them there, while our own natural development continues, and we are preparing for the change that will surely come to us all? That does not mean that they need be forgotten. Every hour of the day there are little reminders with sometimes thankfulness that they are not harassed by the strain and stress of the times; others when a bit of humor is heightened by the thought of how they would have reacted to it; or a pleasure made keener, be­ cause of what it recalls. Every day can be Remembrance Day. But we must confess to a thrill on reading that in Africa there is living a man one hundred and twenty- three years old. There is a spirit worth contacting! His interviewer, writing in the London Times? says that his appearance “is calculated to satisfy the most romantic inquir­ er.’ One hundred and twenty- three years in a part of the world where life moves at quite a pace in its own way, still find him of full stature, a tall man, but “attention is claimed by his features far more strongly than his body.” He knew the country which later became Rhodesia, long, before Cecil Rhodes knew it, for he took part on ' the great trek of the Matabele tribe across the Transvaal into the new country. He has seen native tribes fighting for supremacy, then the Dutch and later the English, who have developed it. In his lifetime his country has ceased to be the Dark Continent, and has become one of the most im­ portant in the world. How he must rub his eyes when he sees the signs of progress in fine cities, the huge gold mines, diamond mines, exten­ sive fruit ranches supplying markets all ovefr the world, the cattle and sheep ranges, with ships from the Seven Seas calling at African ports. It must all seem like a dream to him when he recalls His country as he first knew it On his body are reminders of the days when law and order were un­ known, when a spear was all that -protected a man from his enemies; for Africa was a seething mass of tribal warfare. A large lump on his forehead and the absence of the thumb and one finger on his left hand recall past fights. The spirit that animated him then is still with tim, refusing to be bowed by the weight of years, but ready to react to "enthusiasm, humor or pathos.” Whatever is the secret for a long life Ramonotwane of Africa seems to have found it. We wonder whether he'has always been careful to count his calories each day. REMEMBER THE BIRDS To step outside on a cold winter’s morning and see Grosbeaks, King­ lets, and Chickadees, as early callers was a pleasant surprise, the former in their crimson coats adding a wel­ come touch of color against the snow. It was a rich reward for the piece of suet tied to a nearby vine. In Sweden birds are treated care­ fully, for it is realized what an im­ portant part they pay in protecting the forests from insect pests, ahd Sweden witbouts its s forests would be poor indeed. So before the family sits down to Christmas dinner, _ crumbs are scattered on the door-1 step for the birds. It is a happy combination of economics and sen­ timent. * Let us not put all the suet in the mincemeat and Christmas pud­ ding, but share some of it with our feathered friends. The busy little bees they buzz; Bulbkbellow and cows moo, The watch'dogs bark, the drakes they quack. And the doves and pigeons coo. The peacock spreads his tail and squawks, Pigs squeal and robins tingT\ And even serpents know enough To hiss before they sting.

Unlike prev­ ious anti-Jewish movements, the excuse that Jews are enemies of the church it not put forward now. The Hitler government’s attitude to­ ward Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, is almost as outrageous as its attitude toward Jews. What the dictator of Germany is afraid of is any sort of religion. No dictatorship can survive so long as religious ideals are preached to its people. For the essential teaching of all religion is that of reverence for and allegiance to God first. A government/ which rules by force must command the only allegiances of its people, or sooner or later they will rise in revolt and overthrow the dictator by force. That is why Hitler and his gang liave outlawed all religions whose ministers are not willing to teach their people subservience to Nazi­ sm. They have gone.back to the pagan teachings of primitive times and set up the mythology of anc­ ient days, which was foamed on force and conquest, as the only religion which good German subjects should believe in. Mussolini has not gone that far in Italy. He still gives lip-service to the Church to which practically all Italians adhere. But he, like Hitler, has begun a campaign of persecution against the Jews, 6v<fr the Pope’s protests. PERSECUTION . . . money The Romans were persecuting the Jews hundred^ of years before the Emperor Constantine established -Christianity as the Roman religion in the year 312. The motive behind those early persecutions was the same as that behind Hitler’s now. Jews have always been the smart­ est traders and best moneymakers in the world. A government in need of money could outlaw the Jews and replenish its treasury* by taking their money away from them. There were Jewish traders in what is now Germany—ancient Gaul—in the time of Julius Caesar. They had almost a monopoly in in­ ternational trade for more than a thousand years. When the Roman church forbade Christians to take interest for loans the Jews became the chief money­ lenders of Europe. That made him unpopular with the people, but very useful to the rulers, who had a pleasant way of permitting them to live in a country until they had ac­ cumulated enough treasure to be worth stealing, then confiscating their, property and banishing the Jews. The laws against land-owning by Jews were to force them to keep their wealth in portable form so that it would be easy for the govern­ ments to confiscate. They were com­ pelled to live in restricted sections, and that in itself kept them from becoming active in public affairs and limited their social contacts to their own people. They were thus set off as a race apart, and it was easy for a demagogic ruler to stir up popular feeling against the Jews on the excuse that they were ene­ mies of Christianity. CHRISTIANITY . . . hatred The Christian Church carries a heavy responsibility, as I see it, f9r the terrible situation in which the <-3453 A Cordial Welcome Is Extended to AU To Join Our 193 9 CHRISTMAS CLUB Which Opens on and after December 13th, 1938. Jews of Continental Europe find themselves today. We owe our religion itself to the Jews. The Christian Bible, except for the New Testament, is the anc­ ient Jewish scripture. All of the Christian concepts of morality, the teachings embodied in the Ten Com­ mandments, are held by Jews as well as by Christians. The only important difference is the question whether Jesus Christ was actually the Messiah whose coming the Jews prophesied. He was born a Jew. His disciples were Jews. The congregations who listened to His preachings were Jews. The most important part of the teaching of Jesus was that all men are brothers, under the father­ hood of God. None can call himself a good Christian who does not hold to that teaching. Yet some Christian prelates and preachers have led their people into hatred of Jews as a people, andfeany who have not actively taught religious hatred have remained si­ lent while their ignorant followers have tortured, robbed and murdered Jews merely because they were Jews. I It is not surprising that irt the countries where the Church con­ trolled the State for a thousand years a public psychology of Jew- hating has persisted among the ig­ norant and superstitious masses. REFUGE .... freedom To-day the civilized world is try­ ing to find a permanent refuge for the oppressed Jews of Europe. There is not room enough for them in Palestine and not enough means of self-support. An international commission is considering ocatioif* in South H. G. .SMALL, Representative, INGERSOLL J. F.

The chances are that no Jews will be permitted to take any of their wealth out of those countries. It will be confiscated by the rulers, as rulers have been confiscating Jewish wealth for two thousand , years. Jews and Christians of the free I nations, and their governments, are I expected to contribute to the cost of setting up this unhappy people I in a new land where they will be free from oppression. It is quite possible that our great­ grandchildren may see a new Jewish nation taking its place among the great/ powers of the world. Church Commission Studies Problem of Urban Church Toronto, Dec. 5—With its mem­ bership enlarged and strengthened, the commission on urban problems of The United Church of Canada, will continue its studies and surveys for the next two years and will present its findings at the Central Council of the United Church of Canada, which will meet in Winnipeg, in the fall of 1940, it was announced to­ day by Rev.

RADIO SALES and SERVICE With the holidays now under way and more or less home entertaining planned for the next few months, many of us are eager for new ideas in table settings. But first of all bear in mind that original arrange­ ments that reveal one's own person­ ality have the greatest appeal. It also follows that simple elegance is more impressive than extravagance. Pleasing color schemes and a nice sense of (harmony in the materials you choose are of prime importance. Fine china, crystal and silver de­ mand heavy damask or lace table cloths with a formal centerpiece. Pottery dishes, cokxrful provincial glassware and cutlery with gay colored handles are used to best ad­ vantage with plain round-thread linen cloths. Brass and pewter are harmonious with pottery set­ tings but silver and crystal must figure in the picture with fine china appointments.• • ■ Now that flowers are not as plenti­ ful as they were, you can make a few go further if you build yoiur bouquet around a figurine. The col­ or of the little figure determines the colors of the flowers you use. If you are arranging a mixed bouquet, repeating the colors in the figures, its best not to have equal amounts of colors in the flowers. In the place­ ment of the flowers the figurine again suggests the general direction to follow. When you do this you accent the design of the figure and both color and shape become a com­ plete and perfect unit. • ■ V Gardeners are very smart who borrow ideas from gid-fashioned, forehanded farmers and do a little’ autumn spading. If ground intended for planting next spring is turned over now and allowed to lie in the rough all winter, it is decidedly mellowed by the action of the weather and many hibernating in­ sect pests are destroyed. Of course, you should do a thorough job while you are at it, going down a full spade's depth and, removing any stones, roots, weedsMand sticks you may turn out It isn’t necessary to break up the clods of earth—the frosts and storms attend to that for you. In the spring yau will only need to rake the bed add sow the seeds. Here is a good holiday recipe for wine sauce for suet pudding; Wine Sauce One-half cup butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, 1 cup hot water, 1 egg yolk, 4 tablespoons sherry. Cream butter and sugar and gradually beat in water. Cook until as thick as honey. Beat egg yolk and gradually beat in about half the syrup. Add this to remaining syrup, constantly. Add sherry and serve at once. JOE’S RADIO SERVICE PHONE 44 - Evenings, Phone 261 A. Wilson’s Hardware, Ingersoll. BARRISTERS PATERSON A MARSHALL John L. Paterson, B.A., LL.B.Warwick R.

Hon. P. M. Dewan, Oxford’s member in the Ontario Legislature, and provincial minuter of agriculture, attended and in a short address paid marked tribute to the work of the junior groups in the agricultural life of the province. Miss Ethel Chapman, of the On­ tario Farmer Magazine, Toronto, was the principal speaker. She said the junior groups were doing a unique work in the province and that the younger people were more pro­ gressive in many ways, than the older generation, for they mode use of new knowledge more readily. She said the success of hqmc-making lies in the type of person turned out from the home. She felt farm women should learn more about farm mar­ keting so they could co-operate more in all angles of farm work. Frank Caffyn was toastmaster. He stated the clubs started in February, 1929, and had been making steady progress since then. The speaker leferred to the large number of for­ mer members present and felt they must have found the wdrk interest­ ing. Rev. W. G. Rose, of the Beach­ ville United Church, welcomed the guests. He paid tribute to the jun­ ior farm groups and their importance in the building of a new age.

He was the richest man in thestate with power and influence enoughto make himself candidate for Gover­nor. With his death came hints ot anunsavory private life, of wrongedwomen and betrayed husband* andfathers who had reason to wish himdead. There was also a powerfulSecret political organisation opnosedto him. . . ’. Mary Holmes, called “thegoose woman" by newspaper re­porters, Ilves nearest the scene of thecrime on a small chicken farm whereShe ekes out a poor living and tries tofind in drink the forgetfulness of pastglories when she was Marla di Nardi.world-renowned opera singer. . . .Gerald Holmes, a talented youngartist, is hated and loved by hismother who is embittered becausehis birth caused the loss ot her voiceand wrecked her operatic career. Hehas been befriended by the murderedEthridge, and is engaged to another ofAmos Ethridge s proteges. . . . HaselWoods, lovely and brilliant youngactress, has been helped to success byEthridge. She lives in a small cot­tage owned by Ethridge. . . . JacobRiggs, eccentric old-time actor, now adoorman at the theater where HaselWoods plays, has appointed himselfher guardian and lives in a room overher garage. "You thought I’d be shocked,” she went on, after a moment, “but it takesmore than—well, it takes something pretty dreadful to shock a girl whohas lived the way I’ve had to live.There's one thing the theater teaches —that’s charity. Your mother, what­ever she is now, was a brilliant artist in her time and we must remember^nhat. In the theater that counts fora great deal. There are people en­dowed with such blazing genius thatordinary ties and ordinary conventionsdon’t, can’t bind them. The fire of it burns away their bonds. Yes, and howcan you judge right and wrong? They’re such words. Circumstancesare so powerful. She told you what price girls sometimes have to payfor success—” "You angel!” breathed the boy. “It’s only good, clean women»likeyou who can Ik truly charitable.” "No, no! We’re all pretty muchalike. Only some of us are differ- then Miss Woods murmured withan effort. "No doubt they are ques tioning everybody. I knew MrEthridge well; he was very kind t<me He treated all of the compan; well, for that matter. Why shouliI wish to—to injure him? Or any body?” “Sure thing! That's what I tok'em. Folks have to have a reasoi for killing folks. You're just a sweetinnocent kid. Iniquity ain't in th*, innocent and nobody taketh rewanagainst ’em. They showed me th*letter that was found on Mr. Eth ridge and wanted <o know if it wa*your writing.” "Well?” The inquiry came faint­ ly."Oh, 1 lied about that, too! 1 said it wasn’t.”Miss Wood’s knees weakened and she sat down. Hcr eyes were wideand frightened; they were fixed hyp­ notically upon Jacob’s. The old manregarded her kindly, then said:"Now don't you worry. Nothing’s going to happen. You go to bed.Jacob won’t let nobody hurt you.” On the morning after Jerry’s visit,Mary Holmes ran through a stack of newspapers and discovered, toher surprise and to her chagrin,that nowhere was her name men­ tioned. The Ethridge case was fea­tured as prominently as ever, but she had dropped out of it. In oneweek she had emerged from ob­ scurity, had become a national char­acter, and had been forgotten; itseemed almost as if she* had been bom, had lived feverishly, and haddied, all in seven days. She did not enjoy the sensation; she was offend­ed. The taste for publicity is like the th* taste for narcotics: it feedsupon itself, and, once formed, it ishard to break. For awhile Mary Holmes had walked in the spotlight:now to be elbowed aside, to be crowded entirely off the stage,caused her to boil with rebellion.Her vanity had been hurt by thefirst newspaper stories, it is true,but with a little imagination and some gin she had been able to ignoretheir mockery and to construe what cntly piaccd. What we actually do is I remained as applause: it took some of so 'iulc consequence as againstwhat we are — or what we become. She had no right to stand in yourway, of course; that was wicked and cruel; it was nideou* of her to tellyou this thing; but—how many geni­uses are quite normal? Any great talent throws the scales off balance.”Gerald liad somewhat recovered himself by now. Gently he kissedHazel full upon the lips; quietly, rev­erently, but with a throbbing earnest­ ness he said; "You’re the truest,sweetest woman 1 have ever knownand yoh’ve brought lack all my faith,all my courage, all my self-respect;you’ve made a man of me. If you can think charitably of my mother,then surely I can. Yes, you’ve donea wonder! ul thing, for you’ve made me inure ashamed of myselt than of effort to picture herself as the oldMary Holmes beneath whose feet once more were the rapt, upturnedfaces of the world, but after a fash­ ion she had succeeded. It was a sortof game and she had -enjoyed play­ing it. To be robbcd*now of that enjoyment left a bleak feeling ofemptiness, a feeling which increased when she dimly* recalled her scenewith Jerry on the previous evening. So he was going to get married!That would leave her mqfrc alone than ever. She was sorry she hadtold him the truth about himself; he was such a sensitive flower! Hewould probably stay away alto­gether, and his visits had at least broken the deadly humdrum of thiswretched existence. Any interrup­ tion, anything whatever to do or tothink about, was preferable tomonotony .such as she endured. She realized this morning that thosevisits had meant more than she had imagined. Heigh-ho! About all theexcitement she could look forward to from now on was being called asa witness in the Ethridge case andgetting back into the newspaper columns in that manner. But therewas no certainty that she would be called. Her love of the dramaticmade her wish that she had a reallysensational story to tell. It would be thrilling to take the stand andgive testimony that would electrify the court, the whole country. Therewould be some fun in that and— Her mind envisaged a newthought and she considered it whilefeeding hcr poultry. When she had finished hcr work she walked up theroad and spent a long while study­ ing the scene of the tragedy andcarefully exploring the ground. When she returned there was a deepfrown of preoccupation upon hcrface, but her eyes were bright and there was a purposeful set to herfeatures. Later that day she assured her­self that some destiny must have shaped her thoughts, for Mr. Vogel,the new prosecutor, drove out fromtown and interviewed her. With him he brought Westland’s chiefof detectives, Lopez. For a whileVbgcl questioned Mrs. Holmes per­ functorily; then his bearing changed;he became aleart, attentive. “Why didn't you make all thisknown before?” he inquired. “The police talked with you and so didthe newspaper men.”"Yes.” the women laughed harsh­ly. "They talked with me; and thyuthey went out of their way to make me ridiculous. The idiots! Theswine! Why should I tell them any­ thing? Come here, I want to showyou something." She led her callersout Of her living room and into a squalid bedchamber adjoining. Thebedclothes had been slept in rc- jiatsdly and hid not been made It was late when the lovers man­aged to tear themselves apart and toexchange the last kiss. Fur some ,timc after Jerry had gone Hazelstood where he had left her, gazingmeditatively at nothing and with thefaintest Iwtwccn her brows.She pulled herself together when she heard a sound in the adjoining room,and inquired;"Is that you. Jacob?” "Yeah! 1 been waiting till Jerrywent home. 1 wanted to talk to you.” Hazel returned to the dining room."It’s pretty late—”“I know but—there was a couple of fellahs at the theater after you left.A couple—detectives.”Miss Woods turned startled eyesupon the speaker. "Detectives?W-what for? What about?” “The Ethridge case, of course.They asked a lot of questions: howoften ’he was used to coming here;did he ever come after the show,when you was alone; was you ever out to his place: what kind of friendswas you and him? All that kind of stuff.””1 see. And what did you tel)them?” "I told ’em what the Book says:’The wicked man .shall fall by hisown wickedness. He shall be snared in the work of his hands.'Amoj. Ethridge was an abomination unto the Lord and the Lord slewhim with the edge of the sword.”"But surely that didn’t answer their questions. Jacob,”“Ohl I told ’em he came and went here, like a lot of others—him owning the theater like he did—and you went out to his place once in a while when he was givinga party or something. About him being here that Thursday night—"“They asked about that?”"They were awful particularibout the night he was killed. Isaid iffitie’d been’ here I’d *of seen him. sure, and I didn’t.

I swore positive to that.” There was a moment oL Mhl Mprgatroyd (from, the coun­ try y to bus conductor: "Do you go to the West End?” "Well, do you think I could just have a peep at the evils without getting off the bus?” ^It c h i n g • TORTURE In A Mlnufe I AU rUsf /MMUi M Her eyes were fixed hypnotically on Jack. up; the room was indescribablydirty, its windows were unwashed.It was precisely the sort of den inwhich a woman like Mary Holmeswould sleep. Too bad she was not a credible witness, Vogel thought.If she were anything except what she was he could put some confi­dence in her, make use of her, but— "Sit down.” Mrs. Holmes cleared two rickety chairs of their burdensof old clothes, dusty newspapers,and what not, then from a dark cor­ner she dragged forth a rusty trunk.The lid of this she flung back: it was partially filled with old scrap­books, programs, lithographs, photo­ graphs. and the like. She rose withher arms full and dumped her bur­den upon the bed, then thrust a huge volume into Vogel's hands. “Runthrough that and then ask me why I tried to shoot that penny-a-liner!Those are dippings. Most of them arc foreign, but you’ll find some inEnglish.” Vogel turned the first few leaves of the book, then he looked up in­credulously. "What the devil—? Arc you—Maria di Nardi?” he in­quired."I am. Or I was.” "Good Lord!” The prosecutorstared at Mrs. Holmes. Lojxz looked over his shoulder and readthe yellowed headlines. Together they examined the photographs onthe bed and compared them with the huge slattern before them. The pic­tures were old; those in street dresswere quaintly out of date, but many were in operatic costumes which the men readily recognized. AH showed a young woman of magnificent phy­sical proportions and considerable beauty. In the shapeless figure andthe bloated face before them none of that beauty remained; neverthe­less the likeness was recognizable.Vogel rose to his feet in genuine agitation. “This is astonishing! 1knew of you, of course, although I never heard you sing. I—it’s in­credible!”. He stared about at his surroundings. “Do the newspapersknow who you arc?” "Nobody knows who I am, exceptmy son.” , "You have a son?” Mrs. Holmes nodded. In a fewwords she told her callers about Jerry-, and from her tone as muchas from her words they drew pretty accurate conclusions as to the rela­tions existing between her and hcrboy. For perhaps an hour Vogel and Lopez took turns questioning the woman, then t!.vy drove her back to townwith '.!;• ft. In Vogel's office she re- ,..atcd i.er story- to a stenographer,read it in typewritten form, then sworeto it. When, at last, she had been senthome, Lopez exclaimed. “Well! That’s the biggest wallopI ever had. ll_upscts everything.” “Don't you believe hcr?” “Sure! Shq must I>e telling the truth, but you’re going to "have a hardjob to make a jury believe her.” “We’ll have to check up, of course." "TJiat'll lie easy. But remember,she’s ’queer.’ Everybody knows she’s drunk half the time. She’s a notori­ous character and—well—she’ll preju­dice herself.” ■'I’ll take care of that. I’ll see thatshe makes a good impression. I'm going to get hcr out of the pigstv,dress hcr up, and put hcr in a hotel and make her look like a humanbeing. I’ll take her off the whisky,too, and make sure that she doesn’t talk until I’m ready to have talk. .Thisisn’t an ordinary case, Chief;7it’s anewspaper trial. When the time comesI’m going to explode something.""Oh, it’ll l>c a big thing for-you if you can get a conviction where ourlocal people have failed to even startanything. Rut speaking of explosions, what about the Woods girl? Thiskind of blows up our theory abouther, doesn't it?” “We’ll have to wait and see.”“Shall I show that ‘Thursday’ let­ ter to- the reporters? They've afterme every day to see it. They knowabout as much as we do.” “Show them nothing until I tell youto. Now then, locate that automobile with one headlight just as quickly asyou can and bring me the name ofthe man who drove it.” Continued Next Issue Few of the larger colleges andunivAsities will be overlooked by Miss Grace Hadoiw in her lecture tour of the United States and Can­ ada to interest young women in attending Oxford 'University, Eng­ land.

The apple' is a wholesome food, whether fresh, dried, evaporated or canned. There is no waste in a good apple. Due to the large amount of pectin contained in apple juice> it may be used in other fruits to give a consistency to jams and marma­ lades, and even the parings and cores of apples may be utilized for jelly. The following recipes are taken from the bulletin ’’Canadian Grown Apples,” a copy of which may be obtained free on request from the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Apple* Baked W ith Almond* Core and pare six or eight tart Canadian-grown apples; let simmer till tender in a syrup made by boil­ ing 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water for three minutes. Turn apples often to avoid breaking. If desired, a little lemon juice may be added to the syrup. Set the apples in a pan and press the almonds into them, the almonds having been prev­ iously blanched and split in halves. Dredge with powdered sugar, and brown in the oven. Serve hot with jelly or whipped cream and the cold syrup in which the apples were cooked. Home Canned Baked Apple* In order -to have the delicacy “Baked Apples” the whole year round, they may bg,xanned in the home. The process is easy, 'Bake the apples as usual, taking care that the apples are kept as whole as possible. Pack them in clean, hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars with a thin 'hot syrup; seal as in any canned fruit and store in the usual way. Brown Betty 1 cup bread crumbs 8 sliced Canadian apples 1 cup sugar _ 1-2 cup cold water Butter a baking dish, put a layer of crumbs, then a layer of apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and dot with bits of butter. Repeat until the dish is full. Insert a knife in several places and pour in the water and sugar made into a syrup. Set in a pan of hot water and bake 45 minutes. Serve hot with cream or hard sauce. Baked Apple* With Strawberry Jam Core tart Canadian apples and place in a baking dish.
