who was hysterical, utetrly useless in caring for the infant.
 Chris voice betrayed the emo- tional strain under which she had been working. It required ques- tioning from Norma to bring out what had actually happened to the child and even then the tale was incoherent. The baby had, as usual, spent the day with the wo- man who lived a flight below Min nie and who was paid to look after Junior each day while the mother was at work. The woman's name was Mrs Sorenson. Shortly after 5 o'clock-only 20 minutes before Mime reached home-Mrs Soren- son had gone to the door to answer a knock and the baby toddled in- to the kitchen. There was a steam ing pan of water on the stove. In some way the child had overturned the pan, been drenched in the boil ing liquid. Juniors screams had time Minine arrived doctor had taken charge. One of the baby's arms was entirely stripped of skin. His back was badly burned. The doctors most hopeful pronounce ment was that there was bare chance the child might live. Every thing that couuld be done to save it had been attended to. Now Chris was trying to soothe the tortured mother. She told Norma that she would remain through the night. There was a neighbor sitting with the child but Chris felt she, too, was needed.
 She was talking from telephone belonging to one of the other ten ants in the building. Norma wrote down the number so that she might be able to reach her in case o possible emergency. Chris cut the conversation short as soon as she had given the facts.
 "I'll cal you at the office in the morning." Norma promised. "Oh. I do hope the baby's going to be all right!" F How intellectual the words seemed compared with the fine, valiant spirit with which Chris al- ways turned to help a friend!
 For the third time that even ing Norma turned to climb the two flights of stairs when the door of the first floor rear apartment opened, letting out slanting wedge of light. Bessie Hawthorne s face appeared in the opening.
 "Oh, Miss Kent!" the girl called.
 "Yes, Bessie?"
 The custodian's daughter came forward. Did he take him, Miss Kent? I mean the puppy. Did the boy take him?"
 Norma nodded. "Yes," she said. There wasn't any doubt about that boy and dog belonging to- gether. You should have seen them"
 Bessie smiled. That's good" she said. "I was going to tell you mas coming home tomorrow so you couldn't keep the pup down. stairs much longer. Oh!-she paused dramatically-"did you get your message at the office What message?"
 Didn't you get it? Goodness me the man said it was important" (To be Continued)

 "Did the dame spill the beans ?" He hesitated. No, she didn't. Couldn't have, or you would know who she is. Unless you've got her and this is trick to make me talk. Slick people, these detectives, sometimes. Pull most any kind of trick"
 Jim Young interrupted. Hold on a minute. This girl named Sue Merryman isn't the one, this fellow says, but he won't pro- duce the right one. So how do we know that she is not guilty? Maybe it's a blind to throw us off. She could pretend that she was Harry

Believe me, Spots goin' to wear that leash from now on whether he wants to or not!" He gave the dog a squeeze. Then backing away and looking up at the girl with a glance that was a perfect imitation of a dignified adult, he said, Well, ma'am, what do I owe you?" "Why-for what?'' ."As a reward for findin' Spot" Norma laughed. You don't owe me thing in the world" she said. Not a thing. Take your puppy home and see to it that he doesn't get out again without that leash. By the way-you haven't told me your name?"

 Norma went up to her room with a pleasant sense of satisfaction. It was fine to see anyone as happy as that youngster. He had made her forget that the world is filled with disappointment, sorrows and heart ache.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY

Sylvia Thalberg and Frank Butler Miss Crawford is made to order for tn part of the heroine. She has in the role some of her very best dramatic opportunities, oi which she takes adequate advan- tage. One of the best of these oc- CUTS when a gang of her wild friends burst in on the quiet bridge game with which she and her mother are trying to impress the parents of her fiance, the impec- cable Mir Hamilton.
 Nicholas Grinde has done a smooth and even job of direction. From an ocular viewpoint the story has much to recommend it. It pre- sents Miss Crawford to her fans in a bewildering succession of charming frocks, sports costumes. evening dresses. It carries its protagonists from lovely boudoirs to startling Parisian cafes.
 The surrounding program is ex- cellent and Joe O'Keefe has an- other tuneful presentation at the organ that goes over big at every show.

 safe-that is the thing to impress on his mind. Perils increase with the winter season, not only on account Of

 danger of falling at crossings. I suppose that all this sounds to many like the veriest calamity

pr Ella Oppenheimer of the de- partment of labor (children's bu- reau) gave a well-timed talked re- gently on dangers that threaten children on the street and in the home.
 A short review here of her talk may serve to remind us that every week is safety week, that we dare not become careless about the smallest thing that may leopard ize the health and lives of our chill dren. and that it is not always the court misfortune. Our own are just as vulnerable as those across the street or next door.
 We all know now that toys for babies must be of the kind that are safe for him to play with. By safe" we usually think of those without sharp corners or loose parts that fight come off in his mouth and choke him.

 Each child must be taught as he grows older that he must not put anything into his mouth but food" said she. Certainly this Is a simple rule to remember. All medicines, cleaning fluids, and poisons should be kept away out of reach. as well as matches and gas keys. No child should be allowed to use electrically attach ed equipment unless an older per- son is near to see that 1t is turned
 off immediately. All wiring and plugs in the house should be prop
 erly inspected to assure safety from fire.
 Little people should be kept away from the kitchen if possible; {; the danger from overturned ket- ties or coffee pots is great. At any
 rate. they should never go near the stove.
 All fires should be protected or
 have screens whether gas. wood or coal. Wood fires must be watched so they do not throw out sparks. Birch and oak wood are much
 less snappy in the burning than spruce. chestnut or pine. Beware Of Gas Fumes. Naturally all small heating stoves should be watched. Ruh-

NANCY PAGE Catsup and Chile Sauce
 May Be Made at Home By Florence La Ganke
By Florence La Ganke

With the large supply of toma- toes there was no question but that Lois would put up some chilli sauce and some catsup. She began to puzzle over the differences in the two condiments. She remembered that chli sauce has the tomato seeds In it. It Is fairly sweet and, of course, quite hot.
 Catsup, on the other hand, is strained tomato pulp, made ex- ceedingly hot and spicy and lack ing the sweetness of the sauce.
 Here are two recipes that Lois used.
 Chili sauce called for Is ripe to- matoes, 4 sweet red peppers, one hot red pepper, 8 medium onions. the tomatoes were peeled and cut in quarters, the onions and peppers were minced. To these vegetables Lois added one quart vinegar, two cups sugar, one teaspoon each of allspice, clove, cayenne, black pep per, and ginger and two table, spoons salt. The mixture was boiled slowly for two hours.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-15

The tomato catsup which Lois made had a fairly good red color because she put the spices in a space bag. But 1t is impossible to get the bright red color of the commercially made catsup. She used eight quarts ripe tomatoes, one tablespoon cayenne. one table spoon mace, one tablespoon celery seed. two tablespoons cinnamon, and two quarts vinegar. This mix ture was cooked in preserving ket- tie until it was reduced to half its original bulk. Lois found it took about two hours boiling to do this.

 His steps went down the stairs. Hollow, echoing steps. Not so springy now. Not so certain of where they were going.

 Sue felt sorry for Alan Andrews. ] He looked so young, so upset. He was too nice to be Lois husband, she decided. He was probably a year or two older than his wife, so far as actual years were concerned, but he was a century younger when it came to the ways of the world. He trusted life. Lois cheated it.
