 ISI,AND BIRDS.

In Nature Magazine for March is the second oi a series of articles from the pen of Arthur NeWton Pack who headed the American Nature ASsocia- tions expedition to Alaska in 1881 It deals ex- cusyey with the partys experiences in undertak- ing an investigation of bird life Forester Island that dot in the North Pacific lying southwest Of Dali Island. The first of these articles appeared m Nature for February an interesting account of brown bears Admiralty Island. The March article is equally as interesting It is finely written and well illustrated. It will prob ably not cause any rush of tourists to Forster Island, which as the author indicates in his opening paragraphs lies in too exposed position to promise smooth voyages or placid landings
 Digging for birds, as was done in the island by the expedition is not a common method of pursuit, and the lure of tufted and horned puffns parrots of the sea, cormorants, petrels-"birds or poetry

THAT NORTH DAKOTA VOTE.

The Associated Press notes the surprising gain in the Democratic primary vote in North Dakota as indicated by the returns from few than l 900 precincts out of the more than 2200 in the State. These precincts returned 65,000 Democratic votes If the remaining precincts show similar gains the Democratic total in the State will run close to 145O00 votes That would be about 14000 more than were cast for MT Hoover in the last general election who got the largest vote ever given candidate in that State for President any other office
 The situation in North Dakota is not conclusive, but it is straw that indicates the trend of thought at the moment in the Middle West

 But Carol did not take it. She did not move from her perch on the chair-arm. She lifted cool cheek to Cars kiss and nodded toward Kitty with a careless, "How-do-you- do."
 Rebuffed, even @ little shocked, Kitty turned quickly pack to Cars mother. Oh. she was all that Gar had pictured her, beautiful, under standing. That must discount Carols coolness,
 Gar was asking his mother about her trip. And Kitty listened, more aware of the affectionate tone Of their voices than of what they said. Carol had refused tea. Presently she rose to her feet with an abrupt jerky lift to her body.

 They dallied over their dinner, talking, sometimes simply gazing deeply, happily into one another's eyes.
 'Kit, it not such a bad idea of mothers that I play around for little while. I'll have the roadster gone over tomorrow. We'll go out to the Country Club. I've got to start you at golf. I tell you we're not going to get like most married people, just fussing about the milk man and the butcher and all that sort of thing. That's what takes the edge off from romance"
 Kitty, twenty, little intoxicated with the color and lights about her, knew that nothing, nothing ever was going to take the edge from their romancep
 But it'll be fun for us, Gar, talking about the milkman and tn, butcher"

AROK
DAY,
BY BRUCE CATION

THE author of mystery story
i generally is supposed TO put all
Of his cards on the table-to let
the reader have every bit Of infor-
nation that the maSter-mind detec-
tive has, so that the reader, If he
is smart enough, can figure out
who the guilty party is without
waiting for the author TO tell him.
Authors seldom play fair. though.
Usually they hold back just two or
three little clews; the crucial ones,
without which the right conclusion
can't be reached.
Indeed, they do this almost in
variably, even in those books which
advertise that all the dope is given
to the reader without reserve.
Consequently. it is refreshing to
find a book that really does play
fair; such a book, for instance, as
THE Greek Coffin Mystery" by
Ellery Queen, which is about the
only detective story know Of that
let's the reader in on absolutely
everything that goes on.
This story deals with the funny
business that begins at the funeral
Of a Greek art dealer. First, his
will vanishes, then they dig up his
coffin and find an extra corpse in
it. then some one gets shot and
finally the brilliant son of the po-
lice inspector brings the murderer
to book.
It's all exceedingly ingenious, and
I defy you to figure it out for your
Self-even though, as I say, every
scrap Of information is given to
you.
Unfortunately, the book has
some serious defects. It's a woe
fully humorless affair. and the
leading detective sounds like poor
imitation of Philo Vance. Much of
the action sounds awfully improba-
BILE. too.
But the author does play fair with
you.
It is published by the Frederick
A. Stokes Company, and costs 81.

Bryan. Il believe in the referen-
dunn, the initiative and recall, as
my father did before me. They are
the corner stones Of democracy, and
I welcome any expression Of the
voters on any question IN which
they are interested.
The only limitation I SHOULD pre-
scribe TO a vote on this question
would be that the vote be a direct
expression Of the will Of the voters,
as recorded in a vote OF their legis-
latures or directly by themselves.
And they should also have before
them any proposed substitute for
the present law"

Susan said, Lets walk along the

She wanted quite unreasonably to
escape from the warm. luxurious

cheeks. Heath told Simon to wait
for them at the turn OF the road.
ITS lovely here, isn't it?"
breathed the girl. She leaned
against the parapet, looking down
al the water.
Not as much so as some OF the
places you and are going to see

She shivered Involuntary. In

You're cold. I knew you would

CHAPTER THIRTY-FouR

CUSAN'S engagement had not

she nor Heath desired the pub
licity but IL was a definite engage

Aunt Jessie, home from the hos

The starched nurse Heath had
insisted upon providing for the
convalescent hustled into the room
then and Aunt Jessie fell silent.
The plan was that on the follow

Florida in the nurses charge. The
marriage would take place the fol-

wondered If she had really spoken

difficult for her to call her employer
Ernest.
She had finally managed ii, as she
had learned also to like and admire
the slim. quiet. aristocratic man
whom she had promised 10 marry
There was no time for regret. The
die had been cast.
Heath had thought it unsuitable
for her to continue working in the
office, so she was at home.

minded the invalid.
Aunt Jessie grumbled. Il declare

man remarked.
CUSAN shook her head. On this
~ point she was stubborn. She
would take anything for Aunt Jes-

she was rightfully Heath's wife.

sway against her.
What is it?p she cried. Some
thing warm trickled inside her
glove. You're hurt"
ITS nothing. Some maniac has
turned sniper," Heath gasped.
They could see the car only a
few feet ahead. Heath stumbled
and fell and Susan, through a
roaring in her ears, heard a cry.
She wheeled.
The street light, glimmering,
lighted the nightmare before her.
There was Heath. unconscious at her
feet. There was Ben, hatless beneath
the trees, turning ght-barreled

car. Oddly enough, there were no
spectators for this little drama.
The park at this hour at this par
ticular place was deserted.
Who is the fool?" Heath de-
manded in a low, angry voice.
Il know him." Susan murmured.
Il saw him for an instant under
the light. It's a boy used to see"
Heath glanced at her shrewdly.
He knitted his brows for q moment,
debating. Then he ordered Simon
sharply: Better drag the young
idiot in here. We must hush this
up at all costs"
CUSAN tried to protest. Calmly

80 CHICAGO SUBURBS
UNITE CRIME DRIVES
Vast Cooperative Unit Formed to
Spread Net When Crimes
Are Discovered.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 10-Ninety Chicago
suburbs have pooled their law enforc-
ing facilities. Secretly they have or
ganized a vast cooperative unit TO be
known as the Cook County regional
police, with the aim, leaders revealed
today, of driving gangSters, hoodlums
2 and racketeers out of the residential
communities within the metropolitan
area.
Quick and daring forages of Grim
tnals from city hideouts have brought
a blight upon the peaceful life of the
suburbs. Crime transplanted from the
gangland haunts of Chicago has been
growing, the leaders said. and its
growth has been fostered by lack of
cooperation among the uncorrelated
law enforcement agencies.
Every suburb of the county ready will
act to block escape when crime is dis
covered.
Major crimes will be flashed to a CEN
tral bureau in the States attorneys
Office and relayed in an instant to all
police departments. Localized crime
operations will be broadcast to regional
bureaus in northern, western and
southern sections and the criminal rec
ords and personnel of one suburb will
be available to all.
