 1 Dye mind if I tell the Chief this whole mess about "The Larches' from the begtnning?" she asked and with a laugh at my patent relief she told my father in terse succint phrasing the whole story of Prin- cess Olina's flight from the royal party. of the operation on her nose. changing her facial appearance, of her tenancy of The Larches. and Of the mysterious and annoying espion- age which had been kept upon her by the Transyanian vagabonds in the shack. Last of all she told him of the code paper had found and copied when the Princess lost the miniature of her mother, and Of my discovery that the characters were Sumerian.
 But l am not going to let her say word until she's finished" she said as Allen Drake exclaimed "Sumerian.' and exchanged a tense comprehending glance with my father. You ought to know. Allen. that it's better for her to be abso- lutely unhampered."
 If she's as successful in the stunt as she was the last time she tackled a code of Sumerian characters I'm willing to agree to any conditions" he said with bow to me and an eX- precision of approval in his eyes which was a heady draught to my vanity.
 Then that's that" Lillian said. And now for the most important link in the chain. One of these men in the shack Is known to Dicky-- how. We don't know-although we think Dicky knew him on the other side. At any rate he sent Jim for Madge just now-Dicky has told Jim that he is to do whatever the man asks. and when Madge went to the barn, the man gave her a packet to deliver to you-he knows you came here last night, and evidently knows your identity. Better get the package out, Madge."
 With fingers that trembled took the package from beneath the eggs in the basket while my father was receiving Lillian's assurance that no other outsider save the red-bearded man knew of his presence In the farmhouse. Then I held it out to my father. while Lillian and Allen pressed close to his shoulder. And then I heard a simultaneous ex- clamation:

government studies now in progress.
 Mrs. Chase c. Woodhousc. head of the economic division. l.. $. Du- reau of Home Economies, is direct ing the efforts to make budgeting simple, concise and free from dis crepancies. She is graduate of Me Gill and Chicago universities. and formerly taught economies at Smith college.
 Investigations bearing directly on the question of simplified accounts were started more than a year ago when Mrs Woodhouse asked about c50 homemakers in various sections of the United States for detailed in- formation on their household ex- penditures. These are being sum marked and analysed as rapidly as possible to obtain accurate data as for what things or services people now are spending their money. Tho reports represent farm. business and professional families of different so- cial positions and incomes.
 Tn the meantime, to help those who wish to be moro systematic in handling family money, Mrs. Wood house explains that special account books and intricate ledgers are not essential to a good budget policy. An ordinary blank book will serve for tho entries. she says. If expenditures are planned with sufficient foresight and maintained with perseverance on the part of each member of the fam lily.
 The really important thing about keeping accounts. whether in the home or in business. Mrs. Wood house says, Is to have them in such form that one can see at . glance how much is being spent on any group of items and compare 1t with the estimate for that type of e1- pense.

Women s Home

Economist Predicts Fam fly Renaissance"
(BY NEA sERVICE)

 "There is a kind of renaissance of the home and family which I pre- dict will gather more and more mo- mentum." says Mrs. Christine Fred crick, famous home economies au- thority.
 "Fiftcen or 20 years ago there was a great exodus from the home because women were revolting from home drudgery. It was healthy be- cause it enabled women to sec the world But now the old illusion of being factor in politics and talk ing the same interest as man in business is gone. Women never will as a sex have anything like mans love of business and politics. But woman had to try her wings to discover this Now she knows. and is less discontented as a result.
 Now women arc making an in- teliigent compromise by apartment living and by undermining her home with labor saving equipment. Fly this.she gains salvation from drudg- cry if and when she is not occupied with children.
 She stays at her job after mar riage to enjoy life and be able to afford a better home. On the whole she is a better wife and mother for it.
 ''The point is that she is now definitely and consciously tying her deepest interest to her home, in- stead of to a job. as she once thought she would. She is coming back 10 the home after her sally from it--bringing back new values and a calmer philosophy"

MT. Biacksnake was taking 8 sun- bath. Right below him, only a couple , of inches below him, Old Mir. Toad was buried in the sand. taking 2 nap. There was nothing else to do down in there. Mfr. Blacksnake didn't know that old MT. Toad was be- meath him. and Old Mir. Toad didn't know that Mir. Blacksnake was above him. You know, they have no love for each other. l think perhaps didn't say that in quite the right way. What I should have said is. that Old Mir. Toad has no love for MT. Blacksnake. Mir. Blacknake has a great deal of love for Mir. Toad. but it is the wrong kinw of love. It is the kind of love that every one has for good dinner.
 It was q good thing. very good thing for Mir. Toad that he was sat isiied to remain quiet, Just suppose he had started to dig his way out. My. my. it would have been dread ful! At least. it would have been dreadful for Old Mir. Toad. But he didn't start 10 dig his way out and Mir. Rlacksnake continued to enjoy his sunbath.
 But by and by Mir. Blacksnake be- gan to feel uneasy Yes, sir. he be- gan to feel uneasy. He had the feel ing that some one was watching him. He had the feeling that a pair of very sharp eyes were boring into him. as the saying is He stirred un- easily. He raised his head and looked this way and looked that way and looked the other way. He saw no one. Still that feeling persisted. He tried to settle himself in comfort again. But he couldn't be comfort- able. \ pair of eyes was boring into him all the time.

ness shadow. But when that shadow touched Mir. Blacksnake, it was as if something solid had touched him. It was as if somebody had poked him with stick. He squirmed uncom- fortably. He lifted his head and darted his tongue in and out. and finally glared up in the sky. There. sailing round and round. was Red. tail the Hawk. He was high up. Yet Mir. Hlacksnake knew now whose eyes he had felt boring into him. He knew that those wonderful eyes of Redtail's had seen him, and he knew why Redtail kept swinging round and round up there, looking down at him. It was because Re1taii has liking for snakes. He is fond Of them. And all the time while Mir. Blacksnake had been growing up, he had had to continually watch out for Redtail the Hawk.
 Now Mir. Blacksnake was so big that Redtail was likely to leave him alone. But he was still suffering from that fear of his younger days. He couldn't lie still with the eyes of an old-timc enemy fixed on him. So. after moment or two of uncer- tainty. Mir. Blacksnakc glided away through the grass. But. even as he glidcd along, he felt those eyes. He knew that Eedtail was following overhead. He knew that he couldn't be comfortable again until he was where those eyes could not find him.
 So Mir. Blacksnake began 10 move fast. and when Mir. Blacksnake wants 10 move fast he can move very fast. Away he went up toward the Old Orchard. He had had more than one good meal up in the Old Orchard. Besides. there was an ex- cellent place to hide in the old Stonewall along the edge of the Old Orchard. where he could escape those boring eyes of Redtail the Hawk. So he moved swiftly. and presently he slipped under a great stone in the old stonewall. Redtail could no longer see him. With sharp whistle of disappointment Redtail flew over to the Green For est.
 AS for Mir. Blacksnakc, he once more made himself comfortable. He had been uncomfortable, very un- comortable. but now that he could no longer feel those eyes, he straighfway fofgot his troubles and began 70 plan grand hunt through tho old Orchard after he nests Of fnathered folk.

COOLIDGE TO RETURN
LATE IN SEPTEMBER
Won't Make Mistake of Reaching
Washington in Middle of Fall
Heat Wave

Cedar Island Lodge. Wis. Aug. s
UP)-President Coolidge does not
intend to repeat a mistake of three
years standing by returning to
Washington early in September and
being caught in late summer heat
waves.
Under the present plans the chief
executive will arrive in Washington
about September 25.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
will leave the summer White House
about September 10. it was learned
today, and probably will visit in New
England. A plan to visit Plymouth.
Vermont and Northampton. Mass.
resulted from the Presidents desire
to return to his boyhood home. now
unvisited for two years. and Mrs.
Coolidge's anxiety over the condition
of her mother. Mrs Lemira Good
hue, who is ill in Northampton. A
visit to the Green Mountains also
was included in the proposed
itinerary.
Until two years ago the President
and Mrs Coolidge visited Vermont
at regular intervals. Mr.. Coolidge's
father and son. Calvin, Jr.. are
buried in Plymouth and it was said.
the President wished to visit their
graves.

FAXED ALCOHOL
DOCTOR DECLARES
Unwilling to Waste Wine on
Guinea Pigs

Paris, Aug. s UP)-A group of
young medical students, unwilling to
waste on guinea pig the rare wines
and liquors furnished them for ex-
periments. faxed tests which have
been used for years to prove that
alcohol is harmful to the system. Dr.
Francis Marie. one of Frances
chemists. said in an interview here.
When he was student, Dr.
Marie said, he and his comrades
drank the liqueurs and wines that
had been given them to administer
to guinea pigs. rabbits and fish. so
that the effect of alcohol could be
observed.
Basis False
The significance of the statement
is that the students alcoholics lex
periments" have been used all over
the world for years as arguments
against the human consumption of
alcohol as a beverage. They formed
the actual basis for the famous find
ings of the medical faculty of Lyons
university between 1892 and 1896.
DIR. Marie needed some pocket
money. and participated in the ex-
periments to earn it. The results
of the experiments" including
many photographs. were published
throughout the world. and still are
cited as authorities.

posed to inject them into the ears
of the animals which were being ex-

of alcohol on human beings. But
my comrades and myself were una
BILE to bring ourselves to do any,
thing like that with wines agreeable
to our palates. We did put a lit
tie denatured alcohol in the animals
ears. however.
THE photographs had to be taken
so that we might submit proof to
Professors Cedeac and Albin- Meun-
Ter who were later to startle the
world with the results of our ex-
periments.
To secure the proper contortions
from the animals. we lighted a fire
under the galvanized iron floor of
the cage. 1t was a great success.
