Pat Malone. the Chicago Cubs
big right-hander. is making a strong
bid to become Joe McCarthy's C
on the mound this year. He won
eight games last year, his first in the
National league. but II his early
season victories is an indication, he
will win a lot more this season.
Malone began his professional
reer in 1921 with Knoxville and was
purchased by the Giants at the end
of the season. He was sent TO
Waterbury the following year and
released to Toledo in 1923. He later
played at Minneapolis. Beaumont,
Shreveport. Des Moines and again
at Minneapolis. His brilliant show
ing with Minneapolis on his second
visit prompted the Cubs to purchase
him.

GRAIN LOANS
PROMISED BY
FEDERAL BOARD
Legge Tells Farmers Grain
Corporation Funds May
Be Obtained.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Representa-
tiveS of cooperative marketing as
sociations, who conferred for three
days to organize the $4,000 900 Ma
tional Farmers Grain Corporation,
adjourned today with assurances
that farmer members may obtain
funds from the federal farm board
without waiting for the central hold
ing corporation to be set up.
Alexander Legge, federal farm
board chairman, at the closing SeS-
sion of the conference promised that
farmer members of cooperative
grain marketing associations whose
loans are approved by the federal
intermediate credit bank may obtain
funds amounting to 10 cents a
buShel on unhedged grain, in addi-
ton to loans made by the credit
bank, while those who hedge their
grain-that is, sell it for future
delivery-are eligible for advances
up to SO per cent of it's total value.
Replying to Legge's telegram urg-
ing immediate action on all applica-
lions from wheat co-operatives, the
federal farm loan board stated
Wednesday that all such applica-
lions had been approved. Applica-
tons for additional aid offered by
the farm board will begin coming
in within few days, Legge believes

the sky, and again green, red and
blue stars.
"Bombardment," says Kat.
The thunder of the guns swells
to a single heavy roar and then
breaks up again into separate ex-
plosions. The dry bursts of the
machine guns rattle.
Above us the air teens with Wis
ible, swift movement, with howls,
pipings and Kisses. They are the
smaller shells; and amongst them,
booming, through the night like an
organ, go the great coal boxes and
the heavieS.
They have hoarse, distant bel
low like rutting stag and make
their way high above the howl and
whistle of the smallCr eoells.
It reminds me o. flocks of wild
geese when heaI them. Last au-
tumn the wild geese flew day after
day across the path of the shells.
The searchlights begin to sweep
the dark sky. They slide along it
like gigantic tapering rulers. One
of them pauses, and quivers little.

a. black insect is caught between
them and tries to escape-the air
man. He hesitates, is blinded and
falls.

the Laboratory" 1t is intelligently
written and the poison concerned is
as interesting as the victim.
Instead of making a detective the
dominant figure in the solution of
the crime you have a college scien-
fist taking the lead and unearthing
by mental deduction every vital
clew.
The murdered man is a young
scientist in a college. You find
him murdered in the first chapter
of the story in his own laboratory in
the institution where he was en-
ployed.
Apparently there is no reason for
any one wanting his death. So we
are concerned first with the method
and when the poison is determined
we nave a grand chase after suspi-
cious characters but no possible mo-
tive is discovered.
Then the author gives the story
a merry twist and We see the sci
ence professor setting a trap for
the guilty one. And the scientist
wins. Then We discover the motive
by patching together many facts.
This mystery story does not follow
the regulation formula of modern
mystery fiction by making either
hero or dub out of a detective.
We are confronted with the splens
did brain of college professor who
sets to work to determine the
method by which his teaching mate
was murdered.
And to make matters more con-
fusing but also plausible, the pro-
lessor himself is under suspicion.
I understand that the author in
real life is a scientist and that he
has gone in for writing just for fun.
Here is one professor that 1 am

terry. story than We have had for
