" HREE DAYS had passed with
out so much as a telephone
- call of inquiry since Helene
had inserted the advertisement in
the lost and found column. Pos
sibly no one would ever claim the
beautiful jewel ed pin and it would
remain hers. Whoever had bought
the thing in the first place must
certainly be able to buy another
one. She had found it on the
boulevard, two blocks below her
own street.
But it began to look as though
it were to be hers permanently.
She pinned it across her blouse
and stood back to admire it in the
mirror. She was only twenty-five
and she had never owned a dia-
mond, to say nothing of seven
large stones in a platinum setting.
There had been a time when
Helene had dreamed of luxury,
but the dream had been short
lived. The woman who had en-
ployed Helene as private score
tary had dismissed her one morn
ing without SO much as an ex-
PLANTATION save that she was not
qualified to hold the position. Just
81,
home of Mrs. Sunderland was a
puzzle, aside from the knowledge
that the woman had discovered the
growing interest of her young son
in the pretty girl.
Bobbie Sunderland had told her
they would be married just as soon
as he could obtain the family's con-
sent. She had not seen Bobbie
since the day of her dismissal,
seven months before
The doorbell rang. She took off
the pin and placed it in the dresser.
The woman who answered from be-
low stairs came up laboriously and
sank into the uncomfortable rocker.
"It was about the pin that
came" the woman announced.
My name is Miss Irons. lost the
pin three days ago. Seven dia-
mOnds set in platinum, the center

Helene started toward the bed
room, then paused. II do not
want TO be rude, but could you
identify it little more accurately?
You know, II said all that in the
paper"
Sure. dearie, I can draw a pic
ture Of it if you like. The catch
doesn't work, and-let's see-the
stone in the center is set in a
square of fine carving that makes
IL look like a cluster of small
stones about it. The two in the
center on each side are set round
ana the end ones are set square
again. That's enough, isn't it?"
YES admitted Helene. ct guess
It's yours, Miss Irons"
After Miss Irons left, Helene
crieo bitterly. An hour later, she
heard footsteps outside her door.

Max Hoadley turned and stared
after him with steady, unblink-

squat figure into a chair and said
abruptly:

man waiting to talk to you like
a Dutch uncle. I've got some
thing important to say to you.

I smiled at Max Hoadley. But,

Grams of the Pacific Northwest per

the part of the United States Veter.
ans Bureau, establishing medical
rating boards throughout the district
for the purpose of awarding perma-
nent partial disability ratings, is
proving not only a benefit to the in

be a money-saver for the govern

Northwest district manager of the
bureau.
More than 100 disabled veterans

partial disability ratings, meaning
permanent compensation from the
government and eliminating the need
of periodical physical examinations,
he stated. Approximately 1000 men
will be called in for examination be
fore the rating boards finish their
work. Boards have been named at
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Portland,
Walla Walla and Boise.
Disabled ex-service men receiving
notices to report for examination be-
fore one of these boards should make
1t a point to do SO at the time des-
lgnated," said Mr.. Joseph. "This
program of awarding permanent COM
pensation to veterans with partial
disability ratings is one of the most
important and far-reaching moves of
ne Veterans Bureau since it's for
nation. 1t relieves the mind of the
INJURED ex-service man whose dis
IDlllty is OF a permanent nature, be-
'ause he will receive a permanent

ion costs will be lightened because

Intarvin, meaning literally Inter

from margaric acid, and is essential
ly glyceryl magarate. A generation
ago o~leomargarine was made from
~cottonseed oil and tallow. 1t was
thought to be glyceryl marguerite, it
was explained, and hence was given
the name of oleo-margarine, or fat
from margaric acid. However, it was
later shown that this conclusion was
based on an incorrect analysis and
that instead it was essentially a mix
ture of glyceryl palmatate and gly-
ceryl s~terate, and was not a mar
garate at all. Accordingly, this in
tarvin is the first real oleomargarine.
