1.-THE door opened.
The Woman sitting alone in the
upper room was startled-for just
as the door began to swing on its
hinges, she was thinking Of one
who would never enter il again,
never, never.
She looked up quickly-but
there was no one at the door.
"Who Is it," she called.
There was no answer.
So the Woman rose from her
seat by the window where she
had been watching the rising of
the evening star, and listening 70

she went 10 the door and looked
down the passage.
There vas no n there.
And there was no one on the
stairs or in any of the adjoining
rooms. although the Woman looked
most carefully.
That's queer" said the woman
and she shut the door and went
back to her seat by the window.
But in a minute there was a
light step on the stairs and "a gay
voice in the hall and a light knock
at the door, and this time there
was someone there.
A gay, light : hearted, laughing
someone with a pair of dancing
black eyes, and a smile that said,
love me a little-I love you q
lot"
And the Woman drew a deep,
tremulous breath Of relief for she
had been thinking strange thoughts
as she sat there alone in the upper
chamber.
when did you come in?" said
the Woman.
"Oh, five or ten minutes ago.

"Ah," said the Woman and she
understood about the door.

important experiments in cases Of skin tuber-
culosis seem to have brought gratifying results
through the US. of ultraviolet radiation. Special
lamps, known as quartz mercury vapour lamps
and carbon arc lamps" were used.
The rays are applied to as large an area as
possible. Not only is the affected part flooded
with the light, but also the doctors have given
general treatments of the body.
In the treatment Of some diseases Of the
mouth, throat and nasal passages, the rays have
been applied. 1t has been generally recognized
that ailments of the mucous membranes are less
satisfactory to deal with than those of the skin.
This may be because they are much more diff
ficult to reach.
The germs Of tuberculosis, in the majority of
cases, it is probable, enter through the nose.
They are then spread to other parts of the body,

Things are looking black for COS
tune Jewelry this Spring. The in
PRODUCTION OF this color in many diff
ferent types OF jewelry accessories
seems TO lend Just the note Of con-
trast that brings out the full value OF
the many colors included in a Spring

colors Is almost ubiquitous and its
use with white emphasizes the pop

scheme. The necklace for daytime
wear often unites black with such
Golors as are chosen for the printed

such compositions an galalith and

MOSCOW STIRRED BY
ATTACK ON NEGRO

MOSCOW, Aug. 12.-Moscow
continues to be stirred over the at
tack on Negro worker at Stain
grad tractor plant by a reactionary
group of American workers. The
newspaper Trood, today publishes
letter from Jon BALKAN, an Amer
lean Communist now in Moscow,
calling on "all workers of the
tractor plant, together with Amer
lean workers, to repudiate the ac-
ton of the participants in the at
tack on a Negro comrade."
Another American Communist
here, j. W. Ford, Negro, made a
speech at protest meeting held
last night at the Moscow electric
factory, excoriating the attack and
the "reactionary capitalist educa-
ton, which sets race against race,
color against color"
The meeting condemned "this
survival of capitalist reaction and
called on the rest of the American
workers at Stalingrad to condemn
the misdeed of a backward group
of their confreres."
