Geography Alive

t OR any active-minded boy (or man, for that mat
teD there are learning and wonder on our shipping
pages.
St. Kits, Kobe, Rangoon, Togoland, the Ivory
Coast; where they are and how to get there-these
matters of interest to shippers and travellers.
They are pleasant names for the one who enjoys
sentimental journey in his easy chair while for young
Master Thirteen they are both hunger and food.
Ships go constantly to these places. You may
learn their dates Of sailing, their representatives in
New York, and, better still, their names. (How
would you like to sail on the Eastern Dawn for Rot
terdam, on the Saxon Prince to Rio, or the Karroo
for Hong Kong, Manila and SingaporeO
This is geography alive. In fact, these pages show
why geography is important. To know how to ship
your goods your person anywhere, to know
where to get the sailings and arrivals, shipping
news and notices to mariners, reports by wireless
and address and phone numbers of the lines; to
know that call on Beeknan 5000, Extension 40,
will get further information is useful to
followers Of the sea, because New York is great
port. To others this is also important as part Of
the magic of the sea.

they thought might have been the same
machine.
Two weeks later these men. moved
by curiosity. visited the barn at Wes-
toms mill and found a handkerchief
marked with the letter S, which we are
now having analyzed for blood stains.
/ will not be surprised IL it is found to
have blood stains, but there have been
any number of such handkerchiefs
brought in, as well as number with
the letter S.
"a considerable number of combs have
also been brought to US and all have
been shown to Charlotte Mills to see if
she could Identify them. One comb she
said looked like one her mother owned,
but she was not certain"
In connection with this story 1t was
pointed out yesterday that Beekman
believes the crime was committed where
the bodies were found, but that his evil
dence was not convincing 1t is signifi-
cant that now there Is talk that may
lead to the belief that the crime was
committed in the old mysterious Phillips
farmhouse.
In one Of Halls letters to Mrs. Mills
he makes an appointment to meet her
at "our road beyond the Parker home"
in the afternoon. He says he will arriye
first so that she may not have to wait
in the rain. He says, too, that he needs.

music, and that he will bring the Vic

Where was the middle aged minister
to indulge his fondness for Victrola
music on what might prove TO be a
rainy afternoon? Where but in the

Seems to Explain Letter.
1t is almost impossible to explain this
passage in the Hall letter except upon
the theory that the pair used the Phillips
house as a trysting place. Whether the
murder was committed there is quite an
other matter. lie Is recalled however.
that from the first stress has been laid
on the fact that the house was not only
ha bitable as 1t stood on the day the
bodies were found. but actually looked
as clean and spotless as though the
occupants had left it only an hour
before.
Another question: Was it cleaned and
busted and put in order following the
laying out of the bodies of Hall and
Mrs. Mills, n hundred yards away by
the crabapple tree?
