Sir Henry Head wanted to know
the manner In which the sense OF
pain is conveyed to the brain. the
way in which the impulse coming from
the brain causes the muscles to move
and the way In which nerve heals
after It is injured. Aware of the dam
gers. he nevertheless submitted himself
TO the operation.
Today he is recognized all over the
world as one OF the greatest neurol-
ogists The investigative spirit that
caused him TO submit himself to an
experiment has led him to hundreds OF
other contributions to medical science,

another day for Betty Hale-juSt an

shows a day for three days, rising at
dawn, waiting in the cold for a local
train-then three-hour journey TO the
next town, where, at 3 O'Clock, the
team of Jim and Betty Hale, singers
and dancers, must appear before a
critical audience.
Today things were worse than usual.
The cold bit through her cheap coat
and chilled her to the bone. The train
was late--the waiting room damp. And,
worst of all. she had Quarreled with
her husband.
Jim Hale. tall and gangling, was pac-
ing the other end of the platform. The
rain fell upon his unprotected head,

a perverse streak. Yet she wanted to
make up with Jim. He walked with
such a glum look, as though he were

what it was all about. Big, good

~ adored the wife who was also his

knew that his heart was y, the theater;
that he was happier. in the shoddiest
vaudeville than he could ever be in the
most lavish business office.
This morning he didn't quite under
stand what was wrong. He hadn't
meant to offend Betty. AS a matter of
fact he had heavy suspicion that he
hadn't offended her-that her nerves
were taut and that she was generally
out of sorts. And so he moved slowly
toward her, eyeing her covertly-as
great affectionate dog eyes the mistress
who may stroke or kick him. He stopped
near her-just opposite the shelter of
the trainshed. and looked down at his
great feet. He said just one word.

She drew in her breath sharply. She
was instantly contrite-and very happy.
"Skipper!" That was their magic
word. II was more than word. 1t was
a mutual pet name-yet more than a

their own. He called her Skipper, and,
