VALE . LIFE INSURED.
xo URPRIsE me?" replied DIR.
Studley, and he laughed.
"Tll absolutely guarantee you
~ against that, my dear sir, if
you are nervous. And so, I'm
perfectly certain, will DR.. Charters and
DR.. sMcAdoo. I'd like to be sure that
I'd live to reach the age that you will"
Thank you, doctor. You reassure
me completely. Do you know.
I'd actually got into my head that II
might be found dead here one morn
! ing. Silly of me, wasn't it?" and John
Waye smiled pleasantly at Mr.. James
and DR.. Charters. Il feel perfectly
certain. now, that 1 shan't die in my
sleep, or be taken suddenly i'll and die
here" and Mr.. Waye lit another ciga-
Tette.
That's all, Studlsy thanks" said
Dr. Charters, and winked heavily to
his colleagues, as one sane man who
conveys to another acknowledgment of
their mutual appreciation of a difficult
situation.
Decidedly puzzled, Dr. Study retired.
mo, Simon observed John Waye as
the outer door was shut, Il don't think
! shall be found dead, and don't
think I shall disappear-to the bewil-
derment of my solicitor and banker, not
and I don't fancy you'll give me up to
justice"
Look here, my clever friend" said
the doctor, his voice quiet and menac-
ing, "supposing that, on the one hand,
your health remains good here and, on
the other hand, the police don't tear
you from us, exactly how long do you
propose to give us the pleasure OF your
company"
well" considered Mr.. waye, ct
couldn't tell you anything definite be-
yond tllis-I shall most certainly be
with you, my dear doctor, until this
poor fellow is hanged for the murder Of
Mr.. Theophilus Webb of Witherby End.
And now that the police have
got him. feel quite certain that he
will be hanged, for left on the spot
evidence confirmatory of what I wrote,
and most discriminating. Yes.
shall certainly be With you until he's
hanged"
And with a nod and a smile, Mr..
Waye strolled away into the grounds,
in search of Marjorie Lauderdell, whom
he had begged to meet him in THE
Ruins" the beautiful remains of the
ancient Abbey Church, once the chapel
of the monastery.
DR.. Charters and the confidential
members of his competent staff looked.
at each other in discomfort bordering
upon CONSERVATION.
And phwat dye know about that?"
inquired the matron.
Looks to me like he gets away with
It," answered Nurse Jones.
so long as he gets away from
here :" said DR.. Charters.
But did you ever, in all your young
lives. ever hear of such wicked
ness?"
Bump him OF. I say" interrupted
Mr.. James.
There are occasions when the adj
ininistration Of your one and only pana-
cea Is not indicated.
Your observations are apt to be
monOtonous, Jimmy" continued the

Seeds of distrust! They're planted
now within the Monastery, and tOmor-

City League Players and Officers Guests of Fire

Tomorrow evening the lions and lambs, if so can be termed baseball players, umpireS, scorers and off cials generally, will fraterniza with one another and severally, and even though they do not "lie down" to- ge5her, they may for and about each other. And that's not a sign of the millenium-merely the oc- casion Of the annual Baseball Ban- quet given to players and officers of the City Baseball League by the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department
 The big feed will be held in Moose Hall, beginning at g pm. And all of the boys are expected to be on hand.
 In addition to the eats, which are, of course, always THE feature where ball tossers foregather, the extra, special attraction of the evening will be the awarding of a long list of prizes donated by vari- ous business houses and individual fans.
 There are more prizes this sea- son than ever before in the his- tory of the league, and many of the boys will be in on the money.

of the International Fisheries Con- ference in London for his treatise and sketches.
 Fur Seal Inquiry
 In 1896 he headed the American division of the Joint High Com mission of Investigation of the fur seal problem in the Boring Sea, and later served on committees which conferred with Great Britain, Rus sia and Japan.
 After the earthquake of 1906, pr. Jordan realized that much of the remainder of his career must be devoted to the rebuilding of the university. Feeling that the faith of Senator and Mrs. Stanford made that his pressing duty, he definite ly rejected the offer of the Smith sonian Institution to become sesre- tary of natural history, work to which he felt he was more suited than to an executive position. Although he had been a un.ver- sity president a quarter of cen tury, Dr. Jordan always declared that he never desired such post, insisting that his primary interest was in scientific research. In order to give him the time for that work and to relieve him of the pressure of routine administrative duties the title of chancellor of Stanford University was created for him in 1912 at the instance of Herbert Hoover, then a member of the board of trustees.
 Peace Advocate
 A lecture tour of the Balkans in 1913 convinced Dr. Jordan that the impending world conflagration soon would occur and the outbreak came while he and Mrs. Jordan were visiting Mir and Mrs. Hoover in London. He immediately return ed to the United States and re- doubled his peace efforts When the United States entered the war. he was one of the first to accord full measure of support to the new aggressive program. Our country is now at war" he said, and the only way out is forward. I would not change one word I have spoken against war. but that is no longer the issue. We must now stand to- gether."
 In the spring of 1913, Dr. Jordan inaugurated at his home his famous Thursday evening conferences. al which he talked freely on the in finite variety of subjects in which he was interested. These continued for nearly ten years. being aban. doned when the condition of hi. health made that move necessary

ation at Cornell, Dr. Jordan held minor educational positions and in 1875 went to Butler University as professor of biology. He remained there until 1879 when he joined the faculty of the University of Indiana as professor of natural history. He retained that chair six years. then was elected president of the uni- versity and guided it until 1891, when on the invitation of the late Senator and Mrs Leland Stanford he accepted the presidency of the memorial university they proposed to establish.
 In 1875, Dr. Jordan married Miss Susan Bowen of Peru, Mass. She died in 1885 and two years later he married Miss Jessie L. Knight of Worcester, Mass. Six children were born of the two marriages. The noted educator had been in failing health since the death of his youngest son, Eric, in an auto mobile accident in 1925. It WIS through him that the father had hoped for the continuation and full filment of his own scientific -Fork.
 Home Activities
 When pr. Jordan arrived in Cal ifornia in 1891 to take up his du- ties as president of Stanford Uni versity his home became the cen ter of the institutions activities The first entrance examinations were held on the front porch and it was there that gatherings of stu dents and faculty, eliminating in everything from baseball games to field trips, were organized.
 The death of Senator Stanford in 1893, the business panic of the same year and litigation over the endowment threw heavy responsi- bilities upon the shoulders of Dr. Jordan. The new university was reduced to virtual poverty. Finally he and Mrs. Stanford made per- sonal appeal to President Cleveland and the hearing in Supreme Court regarding the estate was expedited. On March ?, 1896, the government injunction against the distribution of the estate was thrown out of court and from thence forward the progress of the university was marked.
 The first scientific investigations made by Dr. Jordan for the Unit ed States government were in 1879 when he went to California tc study the marine industries of the Pacific Coast. Four years later he received the first signal recognition of his work in ichthyology wher he was awarded the highest honor

He was awarded the Raphael Hermann peace prize of $25 ,0bO in December, 1924, for hi5 plan to further world peace.
 Student Is Honored
 Dr. Jordan was one of the orig inal board of trustees of the Car negie Foundation, of which he later was president. Many honors were conferred upon him for his activities in behalf of peace, ed ucation and science In 1909 he was appointed chief director of of the World Peace Foundation; was thrice president of the Cali fornia Acadarny of Science; served as president of the National Ed , ucation Association and as chair man of the American Eugenies Committee; was member of the American Philosophic Association for the Advancement of Fame In Recognition of his peace work he was decorated by the Emperor of Japan with the Meiji Order of the Sacred Treasure. Honorary degrees were conferred upon him by a number of American colleges and universities. When pr. Jordan attended the ceremony in August, 1928, at which Herbert Hoover was officially notified of his nomination by the Republican party as it's candidate for president. he saw the fulfillment of his ambitions for one of his earliest and dearest students.

high and his contributions to ieh- thyology made him a leading au- thSrity in America As an edu- cator he was best known through his connection with Stanford Uni ,ersity. There as first president from 1891 to 1912 and as ehancel- Tor for three years thereafter. he erected a monument to himsels a. well as great university He had been chancellor emeritus since 1915.
 Ahead of Contemporaries
 Prior to his going to Stanford University, he had been president of the University of Indiana for five years. His progressive admins trativa work and his educational in- novations during that period later were rated as having been 20 years ahead of those of his con- temporaries.
 pr. Jordan was born al Gaines vile, N. Y., January l9, 1891, the fourth of a family of five chil- dren of Hiram and Huldah Lake Hawley Jordan. He was self supporting throughout his course at Cornell University, where he was graduated in 1872, receiving his masters degree at the same time with his bachelors degree.
 He was greatly influenced by the work and personality of Louis Az assiz, the great naturalist, and was a student of the Agassiz summer school. That led to his interest in marine organisms and awakened his enthusiasm for scientific re- search. In later life, commenting upon the time he spent at Cor nell. pr. Jordan said: Those three and a half years exerted the con- trolling influence upon my subse- qs1ent career"

Every
Day
Sense
THE trade journals of Hollywood

TINE trade journals of Hollywood
l. are interesting, if only to show
us how gullible and incurably ro-
mantle is the paying public.
From somewhere, each month, is
sues a steady stream of magazines
filled with exquisite poses of cinema
beauties. And the tales they con-
tain about the nobility of FINLAND
are among the most astonishing to
be found in any literature.
We are asked, for instance, to
stand enthralled at the amazing
humanness of the stars. A certain
comedian is fond of reading, and
this is heralded as if it were new
theory by Mr.. Einstein.
Greta Carlo, endeavoring to re-
main incognito, wears a SLOUGH hat,
and the fans must be struck dumb
with sheer awe. A young blonde
ingenue is seen at q restaurant with
her papa and mamma, and it Is
broadcast as if papas and mammas
were extinct.
A screen hero voices his approval
of charity bazaars and the fact Is
recorded as if it were an ultimatum
from one OF the seven wise men of
Greece.
n
TN short, any evidence of ordinary
Il human habits that can be dug
up and proved on one of these celeb
rites is supposed to make the
common man feel as if he were
having communion with the high
gods. Alice Whites fondness for
caramels and Buster Keatons fond
ness for his children are both equal
ly amazing.
The entire tone of all these pub
locations is that from Mt. Olympus
there has descended to mortal man
these super-humans who share the
air with us and even admit to
few of our common failings.
The utterly befuddled person is
he who reads his movie magazines
and his newspapers together. Out
Of consideration for the public SAN
ity, the press agent and the reporter
should compare notes before their
stories appear.

Perfect Cut
Is Necessary
to Ensemble
BY JEAN PATOU
written Cor NEA Service

PARIS, Jan. 30.--Lingerie work
made its appearance in the mode
when a trimming had to be found
for simple dresses 1t had to con-
trast with their generally neat and
almost severe style and supply the
essentially feminine note.
That is why lingerie work, al
though it never can be but OF sec
ondary Importance in the mode
proper, plays an important role in
the general scheme Of things.
Blouses usually are considered
over here as a garment wherein the
finest ana daintiest lingerie work as
well as the greatest fantasy can be
found.
According to the uninitiated, lin
gerie Work is not submitted to the
general principles of any prevailing
modk, but merely follows the rules
Of rGinute tucking and exquisite en-
brot derry.
Cut Must Be Perfect
: 1t is true that quality of work
,manship is the first attribute of any
piece of lingerie work, but recent
work will reveal vast difference
% expression over period Of a
few seasons.
Blouses now represent an impor-
tant piece of both formal and in
formal ensembles and the work to
be seen on them shows a very dis
tinct influence Of the general mode,
resulting in modern designs asso-
ciated with the cut itself.
Although a blouse never should
abandon the essential Characters
tics of lingerie work, expressed in
terms Of extreme suppleness, light
ness, the finest handwork and fab
lic, it nevertheless must possess that
quality Of perfect cut proper to all
haute couture and harmonic per-
iectly with the ensemble.
Must Provide Lightness
The blouse is tributary to the
fabric of the suit it will accompany
and its role is to provide the touch
Of color and lightness.
Thus it always must be fashioned
Of much lighter material and in
The blouse must reside all the fan
tasy of the ensemble, without estab-
fishing too great a contrast.
A satin blouse harmonizes per-
fectly with suit fashioned of a
rather heavy wool fabric, whereas a
tailleur Of crepe royal or silk COM
pleted by one in sheerest handker-
chief linen or in georgette.
There seems to be a good deal of
hesitation regarding the tuckin
blouse or that worn over the skirt.
LOudness Is Rejected
Most of my clients have decided,
very rightly, that the tuckln blouse
is better suited to the more or less
tailored suit and the other for the
more formal type of coat and skirt
ensemble.
Many of the more formal blouses
are but a continuation of the suit
theme and thus form an integral
part of the costume.
Thus a basqued jacket with soft.
biased revers will reveal a blouse
sponsoring the same effects.
The present mode rejects all that
is loud in its blouses. A jeweled
buckle can be worn at the waistline
or an ornament at the neckline.
provided the ensemble has a gener-
ally formal character, but that is
about the only ornament can adj
init in this garment.
