WhyRollison Went
to Sumatra
By GEORGE EDWIN HUNT
Copyright. by J. B. Lippincott Coz


Rollison went to Sumatra because
Brownlee ate club sandwich. That's
the fact of the matter. OF course there
were details surrounding the case
and those details are the story. Rol-
lison's apartments were the Mecca
toward which the faces of some half
dozen intimates were turned every
afternoon at five o'clock. His black
Pomeranian's joyful bark of welcome
was the muezzin call to high-balls,
music and conversation.
Rollison is a dilettante in psychology.
He does not know it, but he is. That
is what led him to go as driver OF a
circus band wagon for two months
one summer, travel emigrant from
Gibraltar to Calcutta on P. and 0.
steamer, and perform other equally
foolish and interesting stunts. Rolli,
son denies a psychological facet to his
character. He calls it reversion OF
| type to an unknown hobo ancestor
perhaps a crusader. But, whatever the
| incentive, the fact remains that Rolli
son enjoys himself most when doing
something many consider outre.
| But about that Sumatra trip. Il
| Brownlee had been a man of fixed
habits, Rollison would have been dis
| pensing hospitality at his apartments
to-day; but Brownlee is regular onl!
in his irregularities. On the day thu
thing started he ate club sandwich
at four o'clock in the afternoon. ant
in consequence was not ready TO
dinner at $50. He lounged into Roll
ison's rooms a little after five, wit

aren't they?"
They stared at each other and then
smiled. There was small hope of re-
covering the plans, but at least 1t
seemed to them that they were on the
trail.
John Peters, President Feggis' Sec
rotary, and Nancy Graham, his stenog'
rapher, had practically the run OF the
office during the presidents absence.
The inquisition had narrowed itself
down to them. Nobody else could pos
sibly have been guilty. Peters had en-
tered the presidents employ IN his
present capacity five years before,
Miss Graham seven. She had worked
up tc her present position at thirty dol
lars a week, and there existed some
feeling against her, not only on the
part OF the girls who were now her
subordinates, but among Bramwell
and Lewis, who resented the fact that
she and Peters occupied practically
ndependent position during the presi
dents absence.
In spite of the heads precautions
the story of the theft leaked out. In

few years ago it was the common prac-
tice to use preservatives in milk, but
this has been stopped since the In
spections began.
Most of the milk, it is claimed, tests

evidences of Irregularities of any sort
in the conduct of dairy, they visit the
dairyman and look into the source of
trouble and help him correct it If pos
sible Where men make business of
dairying it has been found that they
are most of them not only anxious to
comply with the law but to improve
their product.
Government experts assist the state
officials in their milk cleanup cam
paigns. When they go into town
they take samples Of the milk being
sold by various concerns and these are
thoroughly tested. A complete record
is kept of just what each dairy's pro-
duct shows, and the work is being done
now more thoroughly than ever before,
according to DR.. Thompson.
The state department is also inter-
ested in increasing the consumption of
milk in Iowa and charging the dairy
business of the state.
