ing. and after few words Of instruc-
ton to Kate concerning belated
luncheon, went upstairs to my own
room to put on my outer garments
A Tilt with Agatha.
AS I dressed my eyes kept turning
to my Chinese vase with the important
secret paper contained within it. The
remembrance Of the scratching noise
outside by door troubled me greatly,
although I had proved that neither
Katie nor Cousin Agatha, the only
persons in the house who could have
been at the door, were not guilty OF the
espionage.
I made sudden resolution to set
another trap for these two who had
passed so successfully the surprise test
l had given them but few moments
before. I noistened the surface OF the
vase and then busted it all over with
talcum powder, being careful to do the
busting over a newspaper on the floor
that no tell-tale powder should betray
me.
I knew that If anyone touched the
vase while was gone should be able
to detect the fact. IND was very sure
that neither Katie nor Cousin Agatha
would dare to examine it closely once
the powder was discovered upon it.
AS 1 locked my room door behind me
and put the key into my purse, told
myself that my precaution was fool
ish one. But an instant later, when
Cousin Agatha's sly, hateful voice
spoke behind me, I was instfnctively
glad that had done so.

door" she said with palpable sheer

URBANA, IL, Jan. 7.-Will the

scientific discovery made at the IN

The scientific discovery is that OF

example OF the unexpectedness by

The photo electric cell is a device

Markets Of Eastern Europe

PARIS. Jan. Z. - Germany has
started n commercial colonization Of
eastern Europe and IS on the way TO
success.
one OF the main reasons for such
success Is the difference between the
comparatively high rates Of ex-
change among the group OF Anglo
Saxon and Latin states, and the
other group of Germanic and Slavic
Mates whose money Is very depreci-
yated. This difference is so big that
Il has CT Gated a kind OF broad deep
gulf that neither one on both sides
can cross any more. Frequently the
last few days. on the Paris exchange
market, the Austrian and Hungarian
crown. the POiiah mark, the Serbian
and Bulgarian dinar. have not been
quoted az all, while the CzechO-Slo-
vac crown was only worth little more
than one cent and the Finnish mark
one and a half cent, which shows
in fact that the western powers no
longer possess means OF exchange
with those countries
But Germany has established the
transition. launched the necessary
bridge between the two banks OF the
unCrossable stream. and thanks to
the fall OF her exchange. the German
mark has become in the latter coun-
tries an easily negotiable money.
Trade Plans Extensive.
This Is how Germany IL capturing

she offers TO her old pre-war clients

high price for them. but which they
can still afford 10 pay Knowing the
