Comics Great Affection
A knife-like affection for
Duke Carson stirred Connie;
she could imagine nothing
pleasanter than the isolation,
the secretive adventure Of stay
ing awake with him through
out the night. It gave her a
gentleness for her. Always,
forever, he would be sweet to
her
Her hand, she found was
nesting in Garson's. Together
they walked down the hall to-
ward their rooms. Garson's
was the far one on the left,
Comics at q shorter distance
on the right. The room almost
directly across from Comics
was occupied by Jim Tracy.
simultaneously, they saw un-
der Tracy's door the corner OF
a folded piece of paper: An
inch of it, possibly, was Wis
ible; it was as though the mis-
sive had been thrust under
from the outside. They both
stopped dead still.
Somebody's been slipping a
note in to Jim," Connie Whls-
pered. 80
Garson's face clouded. 'Who?"
Maybe kitty"
"Why should she write him
notes when she has every op-
portunity to talk to him for
hours on end?" he asked, skep-
tically. mo, 1 think, most
likely, we've solved Mary
Smiths mission down here in
the hall tonight. She wanted to
communicate with Tracy-lt
was too dangerous to knock
on his door loud enough to
wake him. Unfortunately she
didn't put it inside quite far
enough. Yes, I think the solu-
ton to everything that's been
puzzling us is right in our
hands now. All that's needed
is to bend over and slip the
piece of paper out"
But"
I know-it's not a gentle
manly thing to do; it looks like
kavesdropping, or opening other
peoples letters. AS it happens,
I think the circumstances war
rant a little trickery. When
you're dealing with dishonesty
it's sometimes necessary to put
a few scruples in your pocket.

was she might think of some
tragedy to succumb.
"All right" he agreed, "but
I'm going to fix the door my
self. We're not going to take
any chances with you, my girl"
Together the three Of them
went to the top floor and to
Mary Smiths room with its
sloping ceiling. Carson looked
out three windows, no escape
was possible that way, barring
a 50-foot drop to the ground.
The door and lock were sturdy.
Turning the key, he dropped
it into the pocket Of his robe
and with Connie descended the
stairs. They we're both widely,
completely awake.
"I don't feel as though I
could sleep a wink tonight"
Connie said.

turned. IT can't see that we

mystery has deepened. Tomor-
row we won't know any more
than we do tonight"
What time is it?",
He looked at the dial of his
wrist watch. "Just 2 o'clock.
I've had some sleep, and I feel
all popped up. If you don't
mind think I'll dress and go
downstairs to the library for the
rest of the night. When some
thing keys me up I never have
the patience to stay in bed"
The truth was, Comics feel
ings were identical; in house
where so much had happened,
she had no hesitancy in adding
another outer touch.

remarked, I'D like to get into

HEALTH AND
DIET
Logan Clendening-

Animals depend on a supply
Of vitamins for health existence.
Nothing in physiology, nothing
in hygiene, is more certain than
that. The development of this
dependence is an interesting
study in adaptation.
1t began when animals the
very lowest in the scale, began
to consume other living crea-
tureS-other animals and plants.
They ate their food in the raw
state. Getting it in the raw
state, they took in a great many
of these chemical substances we
row call vitamins.
Is Gradual Process
The development Of the pro
cess we call animal nutrition
was all a gradual process Of
adaptation. It was not laid
out beforehand as a divine plan
or as a rigid plan. Animal ma
chinery found protein, lat and
starch in its food. and adapted
itself to utilize them. In the
course Of time they became
necessities. Animals now can
not get along without them.
But it is quite possible to i'm
agine that if they had begun
to eat raw NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Gus, iron, sulphur, carbon, etc.
they could have learned to
use them instead of organic
materials. And their evolution
ary process of adaptation would
have been such that they could
not get along without raw sui
phur and phosphorus and would
have starved to death on a diet
Of animal and vegetable food.
One Of the things animals
adapted themselves to was raw
food. They had to. The little
fishes in the Mesozoic sea had
no one to cook them lobster a
la Newburg any more than the
little fishes in the present seas.
The little monkeys in the trees
lived off raw fruits and un-
canned tomatoes. And in the
course of time raw foods OF
the substances that were in raw
foods became absolute neces-
stiles to the animal machinery.
Cooking Destroys Vitamins
1t would be a great deal more
convenient to man if his ma
Chinery h ad not become
adapted to the necessity of raw
substances. For in the mean
time he has learned to cook.
And by cooking he can make
his food taste better and last
longer. BY last longer 1 mean
he can save it over from one
meal to the next without hay
ing it putrify. But very largely
the cooking does destroy his
necessary vitamnis. Some, such
as vitamins A and D, are less
destroyed than others, but all
are to some extent affected.
So man has some raw sub
stanceS-oranges, salad, oysters,
milk, butter-served with his
cooked food.
The Washington times., 1931-02-09

your mind now, Mary" Connie
said to her, a hint Of gentle
ness, your conscience will be
clear and you can sleep in
peace. We're all excited, and
you can straighten everything
up if only you will"
II suppose you mean to be
kind" Mary Smith said, "but
I'll be driven so far and no
farther. You let me alone to-
night and I'll tell you every
thing I know in the morning."
THE only difference with
that is that you may not be
here in the morning. What's
to prevent you from slipping
away as soon as our backs are
turned? We're not idle curiosity
seekers-a valuable string of
pearls is involved in this. You
don't think the police would
give you a chance to get away
as long as the pearls are miss
ing, do you?"

son, trapped, baited: II won't
run away. You can lock my
door and put the key in your
pocket. I want to be by my

Takes No Chances
Connie, with a quick nod of
her head, signalled Carson to
accept this proposition. Here
was a gentleness, diplomacy,
that clashed with his hard
headedness. Yet, after all,
this was Comics house and
her problem. Left to himself
he would have attempted to
force at almost any cost the
truth from Mary Smith, but
he shrugged and yielded.
Locked in her own room there
would be little chance of Mary
Smith getting away; the danger

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

by Beatrice Fairfax
Certainly, She Needs Amusement
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am "a and the mother Of
two boys. I've had a hard life
with my husband and now he's
been put away for his own
faults. I always was a good
wife and still am. but after he
got in trouble I had to move
to my mothers so I could go
out to work. I work every day
and also help out with the
house work at night. I go to
the movies once a week, or some
times every two weeks, and my
mother gets sore at me. What
am I supposed to do, work all
my life and never have any
pleasure? Please help me in
some way. 1 will be very thank
full for your advice. L. P.
I can't imagine any one need.
ing little diversion more than
the writer of this letter. She
has been through great trials;
her husband, she says, has been
put away for his own faults,
and she goes out to work every
day. Without doubt she needs
a little amusement occasionally
to make her forget the sad
realities of her own life My
suggestion would be at lea"t one
movie a week, instead of the oc-
casional movie in two weeks.
We all need diversion. '"The
Grange" was organized to give
people on farms an interest out
side their own four walls. And
when telephones began to knit
up outlying districts, insanity
in rural communities grew less.
At the end of the day some
tired farm woman probably
called up another and said:
please let me have that recipe
Of yours for soft Gingerbread"
And in the little chat that fol-
lowed, they'd forget they'd been
en- their feet all day. We all
must have a little change and
diversion sometimes.
The Washington times., 1931-02-09
CHAPTER 81

Connie impulsively got up,
put a hand on Mary Smiths
shoulder.
Don't, don't cry-please
don't" she pleaded. Nobody
wants to do you any harm
we just want to get at the
truth"
Mary Smith moved her head
and took her hands from her
face, which was wet with tears.
"You got to give me time to
think. You take a body and
frighten her to death, then ex-
pect her to talk sense-it amt
possible. If you didn't have
me helpless you wouldn't dare
ding-dong after me this way"
Her eyes, despite their wetness,
flashed at Carson. "You talk
about sending me to the peni-
tentiary and frightening a body
to death. 1 want to go upstairs
to my room"
All Are Excited
Connie and Carson exchanged
glances. If they let her have
time to recover her spirit, to
concoct some plausible story,
the present advantage, of
course, would be lost; yet,
there was. too, the chance that
a nights reflection might pro-
duce in the morning a truth
full and careful story. Beyond
doubt Mary Smith was freeing
her resistance by a violence that
was beginning to burn out.

SDrinO Forecasts
Directed by Amos Parrish

NEW YORKe-Even If spring
is still six weeks away on the
calendar, everyone'S anxious to
know Whats going to be
worm"
Our answer is Lots Of inter
esting things!" Too many to
tell about in one day. But
here are some of the more i'm
portant fashions for early
spring wearing-so we predict.
Watch and see if we aren't
right!
Greater Use Of Color
We predict that you'll see
more color in costumes this
spring than you've seen for sew
eral seasons. More bright col
orS more soft paStels
more plain color more COM
binations of colorS.
But-we also predict that
fashion knowing women will
take great care that this greater
use Of color isn't wild in it's ef-
feet. And instead, that it will
be a use Of thoughtfully worked
out color schemes that are har.
monious and pleasant to look
at.
Scarf. Trimmed Coats
We predict that the coat with
scarf neckline will be an out
standing spring coat type. And
that more of these coats will be
made of a soft, nubby, mesh,
like, crepey wooden than. any
other fabric.
We also predict that you'll
see these scarfs worn in many
different ways thrown over
one shoulder, tied in a bow at
the side, hanging straight like
an Ascot cravat.
TwO-Piece Dresses
We predict that you'll see a
return of the two-piece dress
this coming season. And a new
fashion for dresses that look

Seems q Gold Digger

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I'm just a poor boy struggling
along on a small salary, but I
managed to save a little until
I met girl last october and
fell for her. She always sug-
gested expensive treats - no
movies for her, but high-priced
theater tickets, with dinner be-
fore or supper afterward. When.
ever I said anything about mar
riage, she said something like:
Aren't you joking?" or just
laughed. She's not above bor-
rowing from me on pay day,
either, but she will break every
date with me to go out with
anyone who IS more high hat"
She has Just written to borrow
some more money-$25 this
time-and, yet, hate to turn
her down. ART w. S.
am afraid you're what is
known as soft" and your fair
young gold digger is taking ad-
vantage of you. If you'll take
my advice-which I fear you
will not-write her letter,
short and to the point, saying it
is not convenient to lend her
any more money. And then
cultivate the friendship Of some
nice girls who are not related
to those young ladies spoken of
in the Bible as daughters Of the
horse-leech, crying give! give!"
