Stop the Leaks-Save
Coal--be Warm and Coxy

To save money and coal, inspect
YOUR house, says the Commerce De-
oartment's Housing Division, and do
these things:
Stop all unregulated drafts through
the house.
Use storm doors and storm or dou-
nile windows in cold climate, ( prac-
ticable, at least on the side Of the
house facing the prevailing cold wind.
Plug cracks around or in all win

sary, inder outside doors. Reset door
hinges = If necessary.
See that there are no cracks in win:
dow castings or between. walls and cas-

sash locks. Use putty and weather
stripping where necessary.
Inspect windows and walls Of at.

Today in. Borneo, expert calendar

According. to Mr.. Cotsworth's the

with the need of maintaining and in

Of the American officers serving
with the Haitian gendarmerie, 1870 in
all, the field officers are Marine Corps
officers temporarily serving under the
Haitian colors. The senior officer is
Lieut.. Col Douglas C. McDougal,
who holds the rank of major gener-
|al while acting as Chief of the gen
darmerie.
The gradual building up of the
gendarmerie by training Haitians to
hold commissions is proceeding sat
isfactorily. The native officers are
rendering excellent service against

be purely Haitian force, both rank
and file.

PRIME MINISTER TO
 HOLD GOVT. REINS
". L. Mackenzie King Is First in
 Canada Since Laurier

Ottawa, March 6 (By Associated Press) For the first time since 1911, a Liberal prime minister will hold the reins of government when the 14th parliament of Canada is opened by the Governor-General Ewing next Wednesday.
 w. l.. Mackenzie King, the new premier, is the first of his party to hold that office since Sir Wilfrid I.aurier was defeated more than ten years ago on his policy of reciprocity with the United States.
 While lacking much of the pomp and circumstance that mark similar events in Great Britain, the convening of the Canadian Parliament is accom- panied by observance of many tradi- tions. A few relics of medieval pag- eantry, borrowed from the mother of parliaments" at Westminster, have been retained and probably will con- tinue.
 The Induction Ceremony The governor general, in full dress military uniform, drives to the house of parliament in the state carriage, attended by guard of honor mount ed and afoot He enters the senate chamber and occupies the speakers chair.
 Then functionary known as the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, clad in silk knee brooches. silken hose, bucked shoes. tailed coat adorned with rosettes and cooked hat, pro- ceeds to the commons chamber, where the members of parliament are wait ing patiently and gives three re- sounding raps on the door. The sergeant at-arms of the com- mons, who is also attired after the fashion of Cromwell's day, goes to the door and investigates the rapping. He returns to announce to the speaker of the commons the arrival of the mes senger from the senate. The speaker orders that the messenger be ad- mitted. In comes the Gentleman Usher who, after making three low

 Barry recognized the print of a , small, high-heeled slipper, and he knew that when he had found it and its owner the search for this sinister Cinderella would be at an end. He found Anna the cook, Louise and Martha all congregated in the kitchen, and single glance at their feet assured him that none of them could have worn that fairylke slip per.
 DO you know if Mrs. Tudor has been out to the garage today?"
 Why, no, sir!" Martha stam- mered. '"rhe poor lady hasn't been out of doors except for a minute on the front porch when the coroner came"
 Barry dismissed the subject, and, asking where the telephone was, he called up Whaley's garage. Yes, Frank had slept the night in Pete's own room, and who the devils busi- ness was it, anyway?
 Franks alibi was established be- yond further question.
 He walked silently to the front of the house, and, hearing the voices of Mrs. Tudor, the sheriff, and Profess sor Semyonov in the library, he vaulted quickly up the stairs. The locked door of the room in which Laurel. had met her death presented no difficulties to him, and in mo- ment he had opened it with skele- ton key.
 The two narrow, empty, tumbled beds, with clothing scattered about and the breakfast tray with only one chocolate cup used were the first ob- jects which met his gaze. ..
 He examined carefully the tiny pair of low -heeled lounging slippers which stood on the floor by the bed near est the window, then turned his at tention to the king satin mules be- side the other bed. Shaking his head, he was replacing them when, kicked or thrown far under the valance, he discovered pair of incredibly small dull-black satin slippers with exag- geratedly pointed toes and high stilt- ed heels They had been curled all out of shape. As he drew them forth he welt the grating of the mud which still cake them, and realized that they were sopping wet. He had risen and was examining them with minute care when an ex- clamation from behind him made him turn swiftly.
 Fay Tudor stood in the doorway watching him. AS her eyes fell upon the objects in his hands she opened her lips, but no words came.
 Can you tell me, Miss Tudor, to whom these belong?"

was that of a child who does not understand, but senses no danger. De- spite the damning revelation Barry felt an odd impulse of compunction, She appeared so small and frail, yet he, as well as everybody else in Sandy Cove. had heard of the fortitude and courage she had displayed during her two years of unceasing service. Could that courage and fortitude turn into implacable relentlessness under the urge of reckless passion and desire for revenge against the girl who, she learned only the previous night, had supplanted her in her absence? Could if he that she was still in love with the young lieutenant?

 How did you first learn of the trouble up at the house? Did Martha or another of the maids come out here to send you for the doctor?"
 "No. sir. I'd gone up to the ser wants dining room to have n cup of coffee, and was just sitting down to it when Martha came flying from the young ladies' room with her face as white as sheet and told me to go as fast as l could-that Miss Laurel was dead"
 Barry turned as if to depart, but at the threshold he dropped his handkerchief and stooping to recover | 1t, turned once more.
