successful duck farms the ducks ar

growers, however, allow the greer
ducks free access to ponds or streams
until they are marketed.

State Commits sion . Decides
Upon Recommend atoms rs
to Next egislatur

CHARLESTON, w Va, June 10,
bers OF the Site Child Vel
fare Commission, whc b has Just
closed an important meeting here
have decid ed upon definite plan
to submit recommendations to the
next Legislation in the interests OF
LEGISLATION caring for children, It
was announced yesterday by Miss
Hettie L.. Hazlett, executive secre-
tary.
The members of the commission
here were W. NJ. WyLe, sharples :
Mrs. James "A. Meredith, Fairmont,
Mrs. James 4N1oreland, Morganto~n
and DR.. Israel Bettan, Charleston
The immediate work of the com
mission, Of which Miss Hazlett9 Will
have charge, is the compilation or
a booklet containing a brief SUM
mary with code references OF all
tho laws existing in the state OF
West Virginia affecting persons un
der the age of 81 compiled in order
that the citizens of the state mlght'
be supplied with the definite know.
ledge Of theS present legal proyis-
ions concerning children.
The booklet will soon be placed
in the hands OF printers and Will
be available for general distribu-,
tor in the near future. it was said
by Miss Hazlett.
An interesting work which has
been undertaken by the executive.
secretary is. a comparison of the
standards Of child's rights, as laid
down by national authorities on
the subject, with conditions exist
ing in this state. The standards WI
occupy one side Of the paper, and.
directly opposite will be West Vir--
ginia's conditions, in order that one
may tell at a glance how near this
state approaches the ideal with re-
ference to the care of children.

that Jack Curtis gave orders to

Mckay pointed the fellow. a
/ stranger, out, and Garrick reach

ready roll OF bills.
Mckay seemed really offended.
"Mr. Garrick-please. didn't feel

Alone Garrick waited. 1t was
tsnow half past nine. He had an
hour and half to watch. As he

bodies over and over in his mind.
Each time his thought led him to
the same path. Who was the man

Or Brock? Might it not b.
Georges? What, after all, did he
know about Georges, since before
the war and during the easy viola

It was nearly midnight when
Garrick in what seemed ike re-

Of the man who had received in
structions from Curtis.
He had evidently been waiting
until the streets were sufficiently
deserted. Now he drew his car, a
big sedan, up to the curb, leaving
the engine RUNNING, but well
muffled, as silent as sleeve valves
could make it.
Garrick dismissed his taxi at the
corner and began to reconnoitre:
To his amazement he saw that he
was on the block where was the
town house of Vira .Gerard's fam
lily.
It was an added shock when he
saw that the car had stopped just
in front of the Gerard house and

gate and was fumbling with key
at the door.
Garrick quickened his steps. It
kwas now or never to get let in on
this mystery.
AS he turned in at the gate the
man at the door heard him, look
ing quickly as If expecting him.
then catching better look utter
ed an oath and swung on him.
Garrick parted and countere6.
The man went sprawling backward
on the bit of turf of the little front
yard.
AT that moment Garrick heacd
the clatter of feet from across the
street and around the motor. But
before he could turn, the other man
was on him bearing him down
with the momentum Of The rush.
He was husky but Garrick felt
he could outwrestle him.
The fellow sprawling on the turf
swore again as he crouched up on
his hands and knees, waiting to get
hold.
Two were more than Garrick
could handle as legs and arms and
heads cut the turf, getting over
nearer the sharp pickets of the
fence.
