In spite of the fact that
we're in the very midst of sum-
mer, all the fashion people are
thinking and working ahead to
fall. Daily reports bring news
and prophesies. Stores are be-
ginning to talk about what will
be good, and what they intend
to bu.'. So it's a temptation to
start right in now and write
about it. OF course it's too
early, but in shopping about,
whenever a fashion presents
itself, that is undeniably a fore.
runner Of something we will
have in the fall, the temptation
is too great not to sketch it
and talk about it.
Squared Crowns New
Hats always show how the
winds will blow. They are the
first to come out. and the clever
analyst can tell from them more
or less what the clothes will be
like. Already the Paris millinerS
are making and selling fall
hats, and from them, we find
out what lines. what materials
will be good. The best news is
that there will be a great
variety, so that we can all be
we'll suited. Some will be small
and close, will follow the lines
of the head exactly. but another
school of thought runs to
squared crowns. and to brims
that are sailor-like.
Two Sailor Shapes
These sailor themes are al
ready frequently seen in sum-
mer hats, so we've sketched
some today from a washington
store. At the top is a rough
yedda straw, so soft and pliable
that the crown falls into it's
own shape. It's the sort of
square e-crowned sailor that Patou
and Agnes have sponsored. 1t
is priced a little over SIS, and
may be procured in any head

treme of the summer straw
vogue is shown in the other
hat, a rough shiny weave. 1t is

What studies would you rec
ommend for a student in high
school who intends to enter
medical college. Is Latin still a
requisite?" - from my CORE
spondence.
The most valuable studies for
the prospective medical student,
in the order named are:
English. mathematics, physics,
chemistry, biology, German and
French.
A broad general knowledge
and the acquisition of a wide
culture is desirable. The study
of history is especially recon-
mended for this. English is
even more fundamental in pro-
viding a solid cultural basis for
other knowledge, and for that
reason I put it first on my list.
Mathematics is put next be-
cause it is the only exact
science and the basis of all
other sciences. know a pro-
feSSor of medicine who took q
postgraduate course in calculus
last summer because he felt he
needed it to understand some
experiments he was contemplat-
ing.
A good groundwork in mathe-
matics. at least through trig-
onometry. will relieve the stu
dent of much confusion during
his first two years of medicine.
Physics, the fundamental science
of motion and matter, of
things in themselves" and
chemistry, the science of the
composition of all substances in
the universe. must be studied
over and over again. A good
high school grounding in these
will prepare the mind for the
more difficult advanced courses
in the same subjects in medical
school, or premedical work.

Lynn, calling her up at odd
times to report progress and
peace of mind, running in to
see her evenings between pro

He had not told her that he
had been let out. If I tell her
she might believe that I did
spill the beans, he thought. He
conSoled himself with believing
she wasn't likely to find out.
And she had known he was

it as long as possible; then, if
he had to tell her,.
1t was Sarah who told her,
after being called into a con-

ence which concerned Lynn
herself. Sarah was deeply
troubled. Idiotic of Norton to
feel that Lynn might be in
volved! She had spoken to him
on the subject and so strongly
that he had admitted it had
been only a fantastic guess on
his part.
All Alone
But she felt she must speak
to Lynn. She waited until they
were dining together one night
in Sarah's apartment. They
were alone. After dinner, when
Lynn was talking of Toms
happiness in his new position,
she asked gravely:
Lynn, has Tom ever spoken
to you about a rumor of a
merger between the bank and
the Frontier?"
Lynn put down the cigaret
she had picked up. Her heart
was racing. Instinctively. in a
natural impulse to protect Tom

replied, why, no; he never

Advice to the
LoveIorn

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
The 1--WE Always Loved You"
Type
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Ruth and I have been
friends through kindergarten,
school and college, so when
she became engaged I felt
very friendly to her future
husband; that's positively all.
Taking me home from a party
we had dropped Ruth-he
made the most violent love to
me, kissing me wildly and tell
ing me he had loved me from
the moment we met.
left town Immediately, go
ing to my married sisters.
Naturally I expected to hear
that Ruth's engagement had
been broken, and I wanted to
be out of it. Instead she wrote
and asked me to be maid
of.honor at her wedding, and
I hear from friends that her
fiance seems radiant over the
wedding plans. Another friend
wrote me that Ruth's ftanCe
had acted the same way with
her as he did with me. What's
the matter with life anyway?
j. E.
Nothing is the matter with
life, my dear, but a good deal
may be the matter with a
"fizzy" young man constantly
in the state of emotional effer-
vescence. Some men talk about
the weather; others say 1--WE
always loved you" If this
young man begins with this
line again, coolly ask him If
he hasn't found a new topic Of
conversation. I'm truly sorry
for Ruth, but sometimes mar
riage irons out these unstable
people who are perpetually
making love.

you haven't shown much
interest in your work." Norton
argued. 1--WE given you every
opportunity. The fact that you
could go out of this office and
discuss the private affairs of
the bank lightly shows me
that you do not hold your po-
sition here in deep concern.
When I placed you here, I had
hoped that you would fit your
self for a more responsible po-
sition. But unfortunately you
show no such inclination"
If my work isn't satiSfac-
tory" began Tom, very
white now.
1T has been satisfactory as
far as routine goes" Norton
assured him, "but no farther.
Tom, do you refuse to tell me
with whom you have been dis
cussing the projected merger?"
II haven't discussed it, ex-
cept to mention it to people
within the bank, who hadn't
who couldn't"
He had fl dered long
enough. Norton took pity on
him. Lynn Harding, of course.
He had talked to Lynn; she
had talked to-heaven knew
whom. Yet he wasn't so sure.
Lynn had always seemed
level-headed girl; Miss Dennet
thought highly of her.
Well, it didn't matter. It
was possible that if Tom had
talked his talking hadn't af-
fected things But the point
was that, having talked, he had
proved himself unworthy of
trust. Norton said so now.
Never mind. I'll take your
word for it; I have to. But

I'm sorry, Tom, but"

quietly.

substituted the more courteous
term. "You aren't particularly
happy with us; why should you
be when you're not interested
in the work? AID this Incl

you take your obligations far
too lightly. I'm sorry, Tom"

Knitting needles shine this

much used for town and coun-
try. Grand for the beach are
knitted heavy navy one-piece
pyjamas with three-quarter
trousers. The trousers are
purled at the hips, giving the
bodice a perfect fit. The shoul-

The patriotic note Is strong

Grand for the country is a

cutter was missing. Mysteri-
-ously missing. Yes, master, the
matter called for investigation.
Johoral knew something
about the chap. This Malay
was in the habit of visiting a
girl-his unofficial wife-who
lived in the coolie lines. To get
there he used a path along th4
edge of a ravine. Johoral de
cided to look for him near the
path. He did-and came upon

eating the mans body! Johoral

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Johoral wanted my ADVICE as
to the best means of tracking
down the Killer. The traps, he
said, had proved futile.
I found myself getting a bit
provoked. How many times
do you people want me to tell
you that you'll have to leave
q body out before you can
hope to get that man-eater?"
Again I heard the same old
story about the law that pro-
hibited such a proceeding.
ITO hell with that law!" I
exploded. THE longer you OBJ
serve it the more deaths you'll
have!"
Then I started talking earn
estly to this young native. In
addition to being extremely
likeable he was a fearless lad,
and I couldn't help being fond
of him. Nothing would have
pleased me better than to see
him win the governments $75O
reward.

I asked.
His eyes glistened. Eyes.
master" he said eagerly.
"Well, then, do as I tell you.
I hope therell be no more
victims. But I'm afraid that's
expecting too much. Keep your
eyes wide open for any bodies
that may be found. Try to
get some other shooters to join
you in a secret agreement not
to report the next killing.
"Of course that may not be
possible, but see what you can
do. If you can manage to leave
out a body long enough, there's
more than an even chance that
the man-eater will return to II.
That's the only advice I can
give you. If you don't want TO
try it. please don't bother me
with your problem any more.
On His Way
Johoral seemed to get some
of my own fervor. II shall try.

feelingly and went on his way.
About three weeks later l
came back to Singapore, arriv'
ing about daybreak. I was read

headline that Immediately cap

eater of Kuali-the Killer OF
KillerS!-was dead! He had
been killed by shooter named
Johoral. The despatch was
typical of most British colonial
Journalism; there were very few
details.
I was too interested to wait
for the town gossips to fill out
the picture. I hired a car and
drove out to Kuali. And what a
kidding Cattle gave me when l
arrived!
"You and your traps!" he ex-
claimed. why. the Killer never
went anywhere near them! 1t
took my boy Johoral to figure
out a way of meeting the situa-
ton. Wait. I'll send for him.
He'll tell you how he did it,"
A few minutes later Johoral
appeared. He was wearing a
ne-y silk sarong and looked
every inch the winner of the

government had ever offered.
Gravely he began the story Of
his triumph. It was all very
