that almost any woman would be tempted to annex Jack. Any woman in this day when every man is sup posed to have lived before he comes to the point where he asks any wO- man to become his wife would cor- tainly have a thrill if she could be sure of knowing that she was abso- lutely 9 mans first love; not only his first love, but almost the only woman to whom he had ever spoke in social terms that as far as he was concerned she was to him as Eve in the Garden.
 "But-you see there Is always a but dear, you know, do you not, that John must not be hurt, conse- quently you, Judy, must decide quickly whether you love him enough to marry him or whether you love Jerry Hathaway"
 But, you see. Joan, I too have to interject the word but your brother has not asked me to marry him.
 Don't beg 10 question. Judy. surely I don't have to tell you, that not only you but almost any woman can get man to marry her if she wants him to do so; and in the case of Jack I am sure that you have already had to shy away to keep him from telling you that he loved you.
 Think it over, my dear, and let me know your decision tomorrow morning"

THE NOISE-MAKER By Thornton w. Burgess

Size by sound one ne'er can tell,
 And this perhaps is just as well.
 Danny Meadow Mouse.
 No wonder Danny Meadow Mouse hesitated. He simply didn't know what to make of the sounds that were coming from down in the lit- tie cove of the creek. When he had first started for there he had heard what he thought was the driving of stakes. Then as he drew nearer he heard what sounded like an old wooden pump being used as he had heard a pump used in Farmer Browns dooryard. But now where he sat he heard noises which were not like stake-driving, and not like pumping, and yet which at times sounded like both. Danny began to think that he had gone far enough.
 Still, he couldn't make up his

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of tho American Medical Association and of Bygeia
 the Health Magazine
 A study of the history of diph- theria shows that the worst results that occur from this disease, not including the death of the patient, are various disturbances of the heart; forms of diphtheritic paraly- sis; secondary infections of the ear, nose and throat, and the pro- duction of permanent carriers of diphtheria.
 The records show, moreover, that most of the serious results can be avoided If the patients are seen early In the course of the disease, and if the proper treatment is promtly administered. It is advisa- bit to use the scientific methods for the prevention of diphtheria.
 If the child complains of sickness. the throat should invariably be ex- amined promptly. A physician should be summoned immediately if a child has a sore throat, a swelling of the neck, or any croupy condition with hoarseness.
 Taking of Cultures
 When the doctor comes. he will look into the child's throat to deter mine whether or not the condition is ordinary tonsilitis or something more serious. If the throat seems to him to show a possibility of diph- thcria, he will probably take a cul- ture.
 This includes the passage into the throat of a rod or probe wrapped in cotton, and the collection from the interior of the throat of some of the membrane which is associated with the infection.
 The physician will spread this on substance which is especially adapted for the growth of the diph- theria germ. The culture prepara- tion is then sent to the health de- partment which gives the diphtheria germ an opportunity to grow in a proper incubator.
 The culture is examined under the microscope and if positive, the phy- sician is informed promptly so that he may immediately inject anti toxin. Most physicians, however. are able through their experience to recognize the peculiar appearance of the membrane of diphtheria and do not wait for the culture report but inject antitoxin immediately,
 Prompt Treatment
 Any possible harm from the anti toxin is far less than the possible dangers from absorption of the poison from diphtheria when it is not counteracted by prompt treat ment.
 The physician will place the pa- tient suspected of harboring diph- theria in Q room, entirely alone, and will take the necessary measures to avoid disseminating infection to other members of the household. If there are other children, they are protected against the disease by the use of the preventive methods that have been described.
 Under such circumstances, the dis case may be brought under control.

Mysterious lights flash from the Heath bungalow one night and the next day Harbor Gardens, Long Island. is agog over the murder Of Nyra Heath and the disappearance of her husband, Perry.
 House guests of the Heaths are Lawrence Inman. heir to Myra's fortune. and beautiful Bunny Moore, to whom suspicion points because of her queer actions.
 AIyra Heath never used cosmetics, yet when her body was found she was heavily rouged. A rare bottle from her collection of glass had been used to kill her. Candles were burning at her head and feet.
 At the Country Club the murder is discussed by Sam Anderson, Heaths rival for the club presi- dency; Al Cunningham, who is try ing to solve the crime, and others.
 Bunny is amazed to get a phone call from Perry Heath, saying h. man is the murderer. Cunningham goes to Anderson's house and there, while waiting for his host. is con- fronted by Heath, who then slips away in the dark. Anderson up- braids Cunningham for letting Heath get away.
 Todhunter Buck, in love with Bunny, witnesses a midnight meet ing bctweent the girl and Heath. He tries to get Bunny to explain and when she refuses he calls in his friend, Steve Truitt, after satisfying himself of Bunny's innocence, ar ranges a meeting with Sam Ander- son. then, taking Buck, lies in wait at the Heath home, explaining that Heath will come that night.

by the Associated Press.
ROME. January 2S.-Italy has de-
clared war against jazz dancing of
that variety known as wicked hip
shaking" As consequence raids
on dance halls in all the cities of
the kingdom are frequent. Ten dance
places in Nigevano have been raided
by special anti-dance hall police
squads. and every dancer taken into
custody. Similar raids have been
carried out in Bologna and Leghorn.
The trouble was started by the dis
covery that young Italian girls, many
of them in the early teens, had caught
the jazz dance fever so badly that
scores of more or less questionable
dance halls had cropped up to meet
the demand for waNed floor spaces.
Regular dance halls of the de luxe
variety are not being bothered. They
are too expensive for any but rlch
natives and tourists.
