Groves Tells His Side.


 It was really. in the first place, no owing to any request from my frien' |, Eihlmington that l became interested in the Brighton robbery and mur der case. Philip Harris, who was director of the hotel company, wrot' me personal letter. asking me t' represent the interests of the hote in any way I thought fit, and it wa on the strength of this appeal that travelled down to Brighton and tool up my temporary residence at the Magnificent hotel. Within few min rtes of my arrival the manager him self waited upon mo. Almost betore we had shaken hands, he had com menced to unburden himself.
 There is just one small matter Sir Norman" he said which wor- ries me a little. Mir. Sidney Bloor Is all the time practically under arrest He has left the hotel and is staying in lodgings on the front, but he Is watched night and day.
 ..There seems to be a moderatels clear case against him." l remarked
 Tn many respects it would appear convincing" the manager assented "His antecedents are bad, hls at' tentions to a woman nearly -o years his senior are difficult to explain oh any basis except that of seH-adFaH' tage. He escorted her round to the Royal Hotel to play bridge, cut ou' during the evening" came back 10 this hotel, and was seen by the ire man, who acts as night- waterman, to enter Mrs. Trumperton-S -Smlths suite Mrs. Trumperton-Smith and he re- turned together early in the morn ing. between one and two, and he escorted her to her suite. His story Is that he stayed there for about five minutes and had q whis!leE and soda in the sitting-room. parted with her cn friendly terms and subsequently, went to his room
 And what is your comment upon his story?' I asked.
 Just this.'' was the earnest reply. .There is no doubt whatever that the young man did return to the hotel alone, but whereas the nlght- watchman swears that he saw nm enter Mrs. Trumperton-Sm Smiths suite at half-past ten. the hall-porter downstairs. two of the pages and reception clerk are equally positive that it was exactly midnight when he came in and went upstairs
 This divergence of evidence, observed, ''is interesting, but I scarcely see what it leads to. Per- haps I had better talk to Mir. John son for a little time'
 The chief constable himself paid me the honor of a visit, accompanied by Johnson, who was an exceedingly painstaking and capable officer.
 You say that none of the icwelry has bean recovered?" asked.
 None of the jewelry in question, fear" Johnson admitted. MT. Bloor has two very handsome pins fin his possession, but he was clever enough to admit at once that these were given him by the deceased"
 You haven't been able to collect any evidence as to his having spoken to anyone outside, on his way back to the Royal?'
 Not at present am sorry to say, sir"
 What about this discrepancy in the alleged time of his visit?"
 That is another of the things we are trying to straighten out. Any way, the anight- watchman, who is very respectable fellow, is prepared to swear that he saw Sidney Bloor re-enter the suite, even though, his

DINNER BELL

A rat is let out of its cage by DR.. Savlov, distinguished
Russian scientist. A piece of cheese is dropped nearby. Doc
Immediately rings a bell, which frightens the rat. 1t scurrles
back into its cage without touching the cheese.
Doc keeps on trying. Pretty soon the rat loses It's fer OIL
the bell and grabs the cheese.
In the fftieth stalking of this experiment, the rat rushes out
of its cage when it hears the bell, and runs in circles trying
to find the usual piece of cheese-which ism t there this trip.
Doc and other scientists examine Mr.. Rats mouth, find it
watering. So the discovery is announced to the world, that
the rat had learned that the clang of the dinner gong meant
something to eat. Human intelligence" probably dawned
similarly, ages past.
Doc Savlov and his associates next experimental with
the rats child, then the grandchildren-on for five genera
lions of rats. They noticed that with each successive genera
ton the rat learned the meaning of the bell more quickly.
The ffth-generation rat responded to the dinner bell with
a watering mouth the fifth time he was baited. Took his an
cestor 80 trips to accomplish the same thing.
Savov made quite a sensation at a recent international
medical conference when he told about his rat experiments
which demonstrate that rats are influenced by their ances-
tors.
The scientists talked about hereditary Instincts of the
rats. They call it instinct, which theoretically is action by
impulse without thinking or even consciousness of the act.
But Savlovs rats remind us strangely of humanity's prog
ress. The difference between instinct and intelligence may
be chiefly a matter of man, vanity.

prominently displayed on the front

Decade Between 1890 and 1900"
That was in 1913.

talk will be drifting, in 1888?
Housewife
A New York woman files a volun-
tary petition in bankruptcy, stating
that her debts are $143,943. Against
which she has assets of only $50
personal belongings.
She describes herself as a "house-
wife" by occupation.
Ten years ago this situation would
have made a big news story. Today
1t gets a few inches of space, buried
on the financial page of a New York
paper. A lot of people are overlook
ing a great bet by not glancing over
the financial page occasionally.
Bet
Three years ago a lawyer bought
$4,000 German marks at seven and
a half cents apiece. Paying for
which he sent $1125 to bankers in
Bremen, Germany. Recently he
wrote to the bank to inquire about
his investment. The bank, answer
ing, informed him that his account
with them was balanced" the pres
ent value of his marks barely over
ing the postage on their reply to
him.
The lawyer, realizing that his case
is one of many, probably is wonder
ing how much indemnity has been
similarly collected by beaten" Ger

POLITICIANS FINDING COOLIDGE
"CANNY' LEADER, HASKIN SAYS

have told him that they are being
embarrassed because they can not
give their friends the word to be-
gin campaign activities. Indeed, 1t
would be surprising IL they had not
urged the President that the time
was at hand for him to come out
into the open as a candidate and
permit his friends to start organiz-
ing.
However, one leader who ought
to know whereof he speaks said
frankly in reply to direct questions
that not a TO- was being made in
the line of politics that had the
Presidents sanction. Moreover, he
said that so far as he knew no one
had the slightest idea what the Pres
ldent's political plans were.
According to the -wiseacres all this
means n of two things-eitner the
President is playing the s~hrewdest
kind of politics or he has determined
not to play politics at all and, as
far as next years nomination is con-
cerned, stand or fall solely on his
administrative record.
If it is the presidential purpose to
keep other candidates and everybody
else guessing, then his course is in
deed canny-shrewd and artful. Then
too, it is obvious that the first move
that is made in the Presidents in
terests as a candidate will be a sig
nal that the fight is open, whereas
1t is rather difficult for anyone else
to start anything" as long as the
President has not made a move. Adj
mittedly the man in the White House
has all the advantage in a short
campaign for the nomination. He
has a ready made organization that
can accomplish more in two or three
months than an organization for any
other candidate can in twice that
time.
Also it develos that it is the very
hest politics for Mr.. Coolidge to es-
chew politics. That does not mean
a disavowal on his part Of any polit-
ical activity while in reality the
game is being played under cover,
but does imply his rigid adherence
to the idea that the best way for
him to make sure Of holding his jot
is to do nothing but work at it. II
is possible that the public would
Appreciate that kind of a President
In any event, no one should gel
the idea that Calvin Coolidge does
not know how to play politics and
1t is becoming more evident daily
that none of the Republican lead
ers has anv such idea.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON
CARBOHYDRATES

A careful consideration of the
food problem in relation to body
building and health Is worth all the
time you car spare. People of the
middle and lower walks of life do
not give the proper amount of a r
nest thought to food selection.
Carbohydrates (starch and sugar.
form one of the great groups of fuel
foods. If we divide the fuel group
for the purpose of estimating the
value of each, we find starch is first,
fat next and sugar third.
The balance or ratio between the
different groups in order to sustain
q proper health regimen is what you
must select from use in your daily
menus. Most people use too much
sugar and not enough starch. In
fats, the other iuel food, the ma
jority of people who need 1t seem to
be able to hit a fairly good average.
The carbohydrates form a CHIEF
part of the fuel or energy foods for
muscular work. In ordinary cases,
mental work requires comparatively
little extra fuel. The different food
elements are of course found in GER
tain proportions in many different
groups. For example, most foods
contain some protein. There is q
nutritive amount in cereals and
bread. Other foods not classed as
sugars contain some sugar in their
elements bit are low in value as
carbohydrates.
Select the starchy foods from &C.
reals, including oatmeal. homiiny
rice and wheat products. This grour
also includes macaroni, spaghetti
dried lima beans, split peas, potatoes
and some bananas.
Sugar is abundant In sirups, mosi
fruits, molasses and candy. Be care
full of overeating sweets. 1t is much
better to take your daily protein al
! meal times. Over batting of sugar
leads to over-nourisHment and over
weight.
