The Boys and Girls Herald re-
ceives daily a large number Of
letters, some of which are
stories. cartoons. puzzles. poems
and news items. Yet we do not
receive. enough contributions to
satisfy visitors sof Washington
that the majority OF the boys
and girls Of this city can in
teliigently write a letter.
When a contributor sends q
letter to the ONCE. and its con-
tents are published he can re-
gard himself as an intelligent
letter writer.
Practice makes perfect in let
ter-writing. One must learn to
say what he means, and say IL
so the other fellow can under
stand. Often a letter is written
in such a way that the receiver
can't make head nor tail OF its
meaning. Correspondence with
your friends helps.
Some letters are about as at

In the case of THE Aberfoyle
Vault" Harvey Hunt was convinced
that such perfect mechanism as
that guarding the vault could not
register an alarm by accident. Yet
no attempt had been made TO break
into the vault, when the operatives
of the protective agency arrived
there. Nor was there any sign that
the electric system had been touch
ed anywhere along the line to the
agency headquarters. ..a
This presented two problems
What caused the alarm. and why
was 1t caused? Hunt argued there
must be some Interior purpose in
alarming the banker Aberfoyle. III
the thieves could sbreak through the
Gordon of protection around the
vault as II vas organized, why
alarm Aberfoyle? Evidently they
couldn't and the purpose of the
alarm was to cause some changes
in the protective arrangements.
Hence Hunt found his clue in the
changed arrangements, in the as
signment to the banking house OF
; three special guards from among
the Walton operatives. These three
he deduced. must be the prospective
burglars. The theory was verified
by the fact that the electric line
had not been tampered with any
where outside the agency head
quarters. and that IL would have
been very easy for a trusted en-
\ ploye somewhere inside the agenc,
building to short circuit or touch q
wire momentarily in such a way as
to give the alarm.
From the construction of the
vault Hunt knew that nothing

away, for they could only count or
fve minutes or so. The use of a
bomb would mean that they woulc
have to leave the building befor,
it exploded for their own safety
and rush back in to loot the vault.
These were the reasons Hum
searched for a bomb and rendered
it harmless. and waited outside tn,

would rush out and give him tn,
chance to take them unawares. H,
had asked Aberfoyle to get rid o

murder. The move, which appar

FOR NURSES
Come Ont In the World.- Saws
Y. w. {. A.

One of the reasons that the nurs-
ing profession is facing a serious
shortage of pupil nurses is the mar
rowness of the nursing routine and its
tendency to shut out outside interests.
Because hospital authorities have
long deplored this, they are heartily
cooperating with the Y. w. C. A. ac-
tivities for clubs among student nurses
in the hospitals. Rocreational as well
as social programs are being inaug-
urated. World happenings, too often
disregarded by them, are TO be dis
cussed. One of the most significant
parts of the plan is that the pupil
nurses are to be included in the Stu
dent Volunteer Conferences this sum
mer This is the first time that they
have been a part of such work done
by any outside organization.
