pressed button, the lights in the
wall bracket lamps glowed softly
over the shocking confusion of the
room. But had no eyes, then,
for these evidences of ferocity. In
stead, I looked at Thatcher Colt,
wondering how and why he was
here.
"Tony," he said, II caught an
accidental glimpse Of you and your
lady friend at luncheon. While
you were chatting over a table
with a girl, ! came up here and
made the discovery that could have
been yours-and would have made
you a reputation"
"I'm sorry, Chief, l."
He waved aside my contrition.
"The girl we have been looking
for was most probably murdered
in this room. You remember that
l carried away from her apart
ment a sample Of her hair? Well,
in this room I have found other
samples-soaked with blood, true,
but from the same head, / feel

From the shadows of a corner
behind him there, Thatcher Colt
lifted an ugly implement-an axe
with short handle, a double-bit-
ted affair that cleaned in the light.
On the steel blade were dark red
stains. You will find that axe TO-
day, exposed in glass case, in the
Crime Museum that is on the sixth
floor of the Police College, across
the street from Police Headquar-
tiers in what was once the Loft
candy factory. There, between the
exhibits in the Snyder-Gray murder
and the affair of the assassinated
physician, repose the relics in the
Geraldine Foster mystery-among
them a pillow case, a half-finished
note Of green paper, pieced to-
gether with tissue paper, three en-
velopes of human hair, and this
axe. On its bit the blood of the
victim is still thick and crusted,
just as when Thatcehr Colt found
it that dreary Winters afternoon.
"Good Godw I said involuntar-
lily, as Thatcher Colt swung the
axe above his head until it whistled
through the air.

hacked to DEATH" he said sombrely.

ARTIFICIAL FEVER AS A
REMEDY

Physicians have long regarded
short runs of high fever as benefic-
ent. A body temperature Of 103 or
104 degrees F. for hours or days
usually signifies that the patient is
putting up a good fight and hence
is likely to win the battle.
A good illustration of the good
omen of high fever is the case of a
child with sore throat. If the child
has a sore throat with feverish symp-
toms, yet the body temperature does
not rise above 102 degrees F., the
probability is that the child has
diphtheria and needs AN antidote
(antitoxin) to help gain a decisive
victory. If the fever rises to 103 or
104 or los, the trouble is more likely
a simple sore throat or tonsillitis
and the child is quite capable Of
coping with it unaided.
In recent years it has been OBJ
served that persons suffering with
certain chronic disabilities have
shown a remarkable remission or
recovery following some intercurrent
fever such as malaria. This has been
particularly striking when it hap
pened in cases of pareSiS general
paralysis of the insane, softening Of
the BRAIN. In some instances these
patients. completely disabled and
confined in institutions, have regain
ed sufficient physical and mental
health following an attack of ma
laria to resume their former home
life and occupation. These observa-
tons led to the incubation of such
patients with malaria (blood from a
person i'll of malaria), and such
treatment, although it involves con-
siderable risk, has brought about
much improvement in a fair share OF
cases, little or none in an equal num-
Der of cases, and disaster in few
cases.
Latterly other methods of inducing
sharp fever have been introduced,
methods the physician can control
and hence employ without serious
danger.
One method of producing brief
fever is the hypodermic injection of
sterile solutions of peptone or other
protein substances. This gives con-
| siderable benefit in many cases OF
chronic arthritis, asthma and chronic
encephalitis.
Other methods are by hot baths
by diathermy, by radiothermy. These
demand expert care and are employ
ed only in well-equipped hospitals OF
other institutions where the specia
attendance can be had.

Vision of a New Day

How long must the war go on?' asked
DIR Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University and Nobel Peace Prize
winner, at the annual convention of the
League of Nations Association in Phlladel-
phia, last month. DR. Butler did not refer
to military hostilities. He meant the battle
of human minds and human hearts. There
is a war raging on the field of ideas and
the combatants are the ideas of yesterday
and the ideas of tomorrow.
To quote from his vivid speech: Let
us withdraw from Europe and mind our
own business, cry strdent voices at Wash
ington. and their cry is repeated in con-
siderable portion of the American press. Why
should not Idaho and California on like
grounds withdraw from the Unlon' Why
should not Bannock County withdraw from
Idaho and Inyo County from California!
Why should not Pocatelo withdraw from
Bannock County and Independence from
Inyo County? Why keep up these hamper
ing entanglements, alliances and associations!
Why not let every community look after itself
and let the devil take the hindmosto What
need have Pocatello and independence for the
potatoes of Aroostook, the corn of Kansas,
the cotton of Georgia or the oil of Oklaho-
ma? Are they not themselves upright,
fortnight, downright people and able to at
tend to their own business without alliances
and entangements with others? hat is the
morality as we'll as the stupidity of the policy
called isolation, and its economic and financial
results, if it be pursued long enough, will be
50 disastrous that present conditions Will
seem like an Astounding prosperity
To the discussion of reputation and
cancellation of war debts DR. Butler coun-
tered. Are the American people SO I'M
practical that they will continue to prefer
to receive five dollars and to lose fifty
dollars, rather than to cease to collect the
five dollars and to have back the fifty dol
lars from which to make good the five dol
lars?" High-tariff walls, armed and COM
petitive nationalism, expenditure for lnstru-
n,ents of war which we have pledged our
selves never to use, are manifestations OF
this bitter selfish war now going on, de-
elared DIR Butler. On the other hand he
cited institutions, still in the making which
are the expression and the embodiment OF
forward facing mems convictions and ideals
expression and the embodiment of forward
facing mems convictions and ideals the

of International Justice. and the Bank tor

Autogiro in Mayaland

The other day pilot of the Autogiro
Company Of America landed one of those
windmill planes on terrace of the ruins of
Chichen-Itza in Yucatan. The act sug-
gested possibilities for making those thrill
ing and beautiful Magyar ruins more Access
sible to visitors from far places.
Although thousands of tourists are said
to have visited the restored temples and
palaces of that vicinity since the archeolo-
gists have been at work there, the Mexican
government would welcome great many
more. 1t has been baked in its efforts by
the difficulty of approach. A long, tedi-
Gus trip on narrowgauge railroad, fol-
lowed by bumpy trip over a rocky jungle
road, has deferred many mildly interested
travellers.
Taking tourists in by airplane has not
been feasible because of the prohibitive ex-
pense of preparing suitable landing field
in that region. The autogiro does not
require large landing area. 1t drops
gently to earth on a small field and can take
off again easily without the help of long
runway.
Regular air service obviously should be
established 1t would not only be useful,
but would provide the additional charm of

Landing "Blind"

Specially skilled pilots in specially
equipped airplanes have flown blind
and have landed without seeing the ground
beneath them. That was part of the exper-
mental and research work done with the
purpose of making flying safer in all
weathers. regardless of visibility. 1t is now
learned that some airlines are training reg
ular pilots in blind flying. The other day.

plane to earth at Newark Airport under
oral directions from another pilot in the
regular pilots seat. He made a perfect
landing. This was accomplished after 40
minute period of instruction and practice
in blind flying Usually, in these training
periods the instructor in the regular cock
pit brings the ship down. In this case
the pilot in the darkened chamber was do
ing SO we'll that he was allowed to retain
control.
The equipment in the training plane is
exactly the same as that of all the regular

When pilot proves, in ten hours flying
time, that he can hold a ship true to her
course in blind-flying, he is given a first
class rating by the company. And he's
better equipped than ever to bring ship and
passengers home safely in spite of fog or
rain.

location and proportion. When George
Washington advised garrisons all over, we
were weak and did not cover the continent

least. And the wisdom of the fathers has
given the civil authority the last word. In
