did not seem to grasp what was being

photographer bumped him so hard as
to lose his balance. But the next

was referring to seven unset diamonds

hours monsieur convinced himself that
she did not have the diamonds and

An incubator for Matching coolies
has recently been devised that scien-
tific study might be made Of these
pests that came into such prominence
during the war. Since human blood
is the food of the lice, volunteers sac
rihed themselves for the cause, and
as many as 1000 were fed at one
time on the forearm Of one person.
