Mrs. Ellen Gustafson has just re-
Gently returned from state hospital
at Minneapolis, where she has been
under supervision and underwent a
operation. The family was
taken sick with typhoid fever in 1927
when her husband, Charles Gustaf-
son died. Thorough inspections and
examinations were made, and it was
found that Mrs. Gustafson was car
rier of the typhoid germ. This is
now cleared up with the operation and
treatments and Mrs. Gustafson is in
perfect health, which will be good
news to her neighbors and friends.
The unemployment here of men the

nomic conference in London. But,
tentatively, it has been decided that
the League of Nations will begin dis
cussion of the socalled Lytton report
on China, Japan and Manchukuo en-
November IA (unless Japanese diplo-
macy succeeds i'm obtaining further
postponement).
This report. vaguely dividing blame
for the bloody Manchurian conflict
between China and Japan, continues
to be principal topic of talk in the
chancelleries of the world, source of
controversial comments in the daily
press.
China has formally accepted tin
spite of the fact that she is soundly
penalized by the report-but Japan
so far has indicated no change in her
attitude which is expressed, uno fiji
cially, in the sweeping statement that
the report contains nothing of in
terest to u.s." Some sort of official
Japanese comment will soon be forth
coming, however.
Mexican Disturbance.
Europe, Asia and North America
have their troubles; Central America
has hers. A new case of papaphobia
has been upsetting the republic of
Mexico as the result of a papal en-
cyclical which reproaches the Mex
lean government because it has been
unfair to the Roman Catholic clergy.
When the pope wrote, his delegate in
Mexico, Monsignore Leopoldo Ruiz
Flores, spoke in support of the Vati-
can criticiSms-and was unceremon-
iously deported from Mexico. There
upon the state government of Vera
Cruz deprived all priests of their
citizenship, and confiscated all Cath
Ollie church property; finally, Arch
bishop Pascual Diaz was fined because
he had violated one of the technical
clauses of the agreement between
state and church.
AS has been said often enough. and
frequently with special reference to
the relations between governments
and hierarchies-History has a way
of repeating itself.

 Preston, get to one side. Quick" warned Rock, risking one long stride forward, when he froze in his tracks, his right side toward Ash, his quivering hand low.
 Ash Preston spat one curse at his father then saw him no more. Again he began that strange side long walk, only now he sheered a little, out toward Rock, forward a few strides, then backward the same, never turning that slim left side ava yfrom Rock. Rock learn ed something then he never had known before-Ash Preston was left handed. He approached noe closer than thirty paces. Then he did not or could not keep still. |

 "Yes. And here's Thiry's mask where she put it herself" flashed Rock, striking his breast. See if you can hit it?"
 At the last he had the wit to throw Ash off a cool and deadly balance-so precious to men who would live by the gun. When Ash ierked to his fatal move Rock was the quicker. His shot cracked a fraction of second before his ad- versary's Both took effect It was as if Ash had been hit in the head by club. Almost he turned a somersault
 Rock felt shock, but no pain. He did not know where he was hit until his right leg gave way under him, letting him down. He fell, but caught himself with his left hand, and went no farther than his knees, the right of which buckled under him.
 Ash bounded up as he had gone down, with convulsiye tremendous power, the left side of his head shot away.
 Both men are fighting to kill,
 and both are marksmen. Who fires the fatal shot-tomorrOw ?
