The Beauty
Box

When a woman gets tired Of
herself, her face and her
clothes, she will find it profit
able to go on a grand old beau
tifying spree. A course of IA
cial treatments will convince
her that there's life in the old
gal yet. Scalp treatments and
a new top-knot arrangement
will knock off birthdays. No
woman can afford to get mad
on at the woman in the looking
glass. It is when she looks
well that she feels well, and the
rule works visa versa, going or
coming it amounts to the same
thing. A sassy new hat makes
the world look rosy. Got to
carry on, put up a good front,
or the blue bogies get you.

Fashion Flashes

Walking is an excellent exer-
else. Without it the knees get
rigid, a condition that inter-
feres with graceful, easy move
ments and stately posture.
It's the lazy little loafer who
hates exercise in any form that
takes on too much abundant
curves, loses the snap Of youth,
develops a waddle later on. A
two-mile walk every day should
be on every woman'S schedule.
It washes out the lungs and
makes them laugh, puts color
in the complexion, pepS up the
spirits.

CHAPTER 81


During the afternoon Albert
and Ludwig call for me. We
want to see how things are
going with our old schoolmate,
Giesecke. On the way we meet
George Rahe, who accompanies
us, as he. also was a friend Of
Giesecke.
The day is clear and from
the hilltop where the building
stands one can see far out
across the fields to where the
lunatics in their blue-and-white
stripe jackets are at work in
gangs under the supervision of
uniformed warderS. From a
window in the right wing of the
building we hear a voice sing
ing, ION the lovely banks Of
Saale :" That will be a
patient. It sounds strangely
from q window with iron bars:
"And the clouds go sailing
by"
Giesecke is lodged in a large
room with several other pa
tientS. AS we enter one cries
out Shrilly. "Cover!-Cover!"
and crawls under the table; but
the others take no notice Of
him. Giesecke comes at once
to meet us. He has a narrow,
yellow face; with his sharp
chin and prominent ears, he
looks much younger than he
used - do. Only his eyes are
restless and old.
Before we can greet him
someone else buttonholes us.
Anything new out there?" he
asks.
"New, no, nothing new" I
reply.
"And what about the Front?
Have we got Verdun yet?"
We look at each other-"But
it's peace long ago." says Albert
reassuringly.
A HideOuS Laugh
The man laughs, an unpleas-
ant, bleating laughter. Don't
you kid yourself. They're just
waiting for us to come out and
then tara, before you know
where they are, they've nabbed
you aEl you're off back up the
line" And he adds Slyly: But
they won't catch me again"
Giesecke shakes hands with
us. This rather takes us
aback.
We imagined he would be
hopping about like a monkey
and raving and pulling faces,
or at any rate Shivering all the
time, like the shakers at the
street corners. But instead he
only smiles at us with a wry,
poor mouth, saying, Didn't
expect it to be like this, eh?"
But you're quite fit!" I pro-
test. whats up with you,
them"
He passes his hand over his
brow. Headaches. Feels like
a sort Of steel band around the
back Of my head. And then
Fleury-"
He was buried during the
fighting at Fleury, and for sew
eral hours he lay with another
fellow, his face clamped by a
beam against the other mans
body which was ripped open
up as far as the belly. The
other had his head free and
kept crying out, again and
again, and each time he yelled
a stream Of blood would well
out over Giesecke's face.
Exams in Sight
He tells us this quite clearly
and consequently. And now
every night it comes again, and
I suffocate, and the room is
full Of Shiny white snakes and
Of blood"
But when you know what it
is, can't you fight against it?"
asks Albert.
GieSecke shakes his head.
"It's no good, even though I
may be wide awake. AS soon
as it gets dark, they are there"
He ShudderS. "You don't see

BranchviIIe Man Cleared in
Killing During Quarrel
Over Children.

ny q stan Correspondent Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, May L.
After a scant Is minutes elaboration
q Circuit Court jury last night freed
Paul e. cement, 56-year-old Branch
vile brick.ayer, of murder charge in
connection with the fatal stabbing OF
Claude L. Hughes in a neighbcrhood
quarrel.
In spite OF the courts caution against
any demonstration. Dement, exclaimed,
God bless YOU" when the verdict was
announced. A moment later, as the
jury was being polled, he commented,
Its true verdict" and was embraced
by his wife.
Stabbed With Knife.
Dement, has been in Jail since Febru-
airy %, when he stabbed Hughes with
a penknife during neighborho-d
quarrel which started over their chill
dren. The blow grazed Hughes heart
and he died in Providence Hospital a
few days later
The defense offered testimony to
show that the stabbing was entirely UNI
premediated and performed as an act
of seif-defense.
Dement, himself gave the NEST dra-
matte testimony in describing the
events prior to the stabbing. He was
not able to describe the actual stabbing,
however. contending his mind was
blank on that point
The defendant said some of the
Hughes children called his grandson,
Donald Dement,, and he told the child
not to go over to the Hughes property
for fear he might wander away in play
ing and be injured by An automobile.
If Mr. Hughes had called the child at
first, Dement, said he would not have
objected.
Victim Of Neuritis.
The gray-haired bricklayer. who
showed no emotion while listening to
others testify, but whose voice broke
at times as he told his story from the
witness chair, claimed he had been
suffering from neuritis and was feeling
bad when Hughes rushed up to him
and the argument started.
Dement, and his witnesses claimed
Hughes threatened to break his jaw
bone" Dement, said the man struck
him on the nose and he remembered
showing Hughes away After that, he
said, everything went black, and the
next he remembered was seeing blood
on Hughes shirt.
Dement, told of using a penknife to
prepare feed for his chickens and adj
mitted he had the knife in his hands
all during the argument, but declared
he never gave it thought" He was
unable to identify large two-bladed
penknife shown him in court as the
one he used and could not say which
blade was used.
Clings to Story.
The defendant was unmoved and did
not alter his story under a barrage of
questions fired at him during cross-ex-
animation by Special Prosecutor Leroy
Humphrey Dement, answered most of
the questions by first addressing Pun
phyrey as brother" After the trial he
shook hands with Humphrey and men,

It has been urged by the Trade Commissioner of Van couver that free air transpor- tation should be furnished Canadian prospectors to parts of British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Northwest Ter ritories. By this means many weeks time could be saved during the opening of the min- ing season. In connection with the building of the new Brit ish Columbia-Yukon-Alaska Highway it is urged that air plane service over the propos- ed route would do much to help the development of var ious mining sections. Increased flying via Hazelton, Dease Lake, Teslin and Atlin to Fairbanks, will also help to popularize the projected High way.

In answer to an inquiry the Department of the Interior states that 35,000 tourists vis- tied Alaska last year, large percentage of them only mak- ing the Southeastern tour. An effort is being made to induce more to include Cordova, Seward, Anchorage, Mt. Me Kinley and Anchorage in their itinerary this year.
 The Pacific Frosted Foods, Inc, with unlimited capital, ex- poets to send two investigators to Alaska this summer to de- termine just how -advanta- geously the Birdseye quick freezing process can be ap- piled to the prepartion of rein deer for shipping.
 An effort is being made by Ernest Welker Sawyer to in- terest Eastern capitalists in the development of antimony in Alaska. He submits reports to show that there are large de- posits of high grade antimony ores in the vicinity of the Alas ka Railroad and contiguous to the excellent harbor at Seward.
 President Hoover has an- nounced that on the current public building program the list of projects covers a total of 758 buildings, involving a total expenditures of $453,- 000,000. One of the projects recently completed was at Ju-
