you? I can't go to sleep for thinking about
this queer business"
Jean giggled. Il think you're being silly"
she said but if it will make you sleep better,
Of course I'll let you take the elephant" She
hurried to the table and moment later passed
it out to him.
Thanks" he said, tucking the piece Of ivory
under his sweat shirt. Il think you'll be safer
now, and so will the elephant Good night
see you in the morning"
Jean gggled again at Lenny's foolish notion,
and went back to bed. For time the puzzling
events of the day revolved in her mind bu.
before long she was again sleeping soundly.
1t must have been several hours later when
she awoke once more. This time she did not
know what had aroused her, but cold fear
was gripping her heart The moon had gone
down now, and the room was in almost total
darkness. She could barely make out the
lighter blackness that the window of her
room.
She lay motionless for a moment, trying to
master her terror, wondering what sort of bad
dream could have caused it. Then something
perhaps slight noise, directed her attention
toward the side of the room where the door
entered from the hall Definitely alarmed now
she sat up suddenly in bed and reached for the
light on the table beside the bed
Err fingers never found the switch From
somewhere strong hands stretched out,
and hand stifed a scream in her throat Al
most before she knew it, the sheet was bound
across her mouth in a gag, and strong arms
made her struggles useless
Keep quiet!" voice said softly but sternly
If you lie there and make no move, I won't
hurt you But Just one move and YOU get
this!"
Jean felt the coldness of steel blade pressed
against her cheek Almost parayzed with
fright, she lay motionless in her bed, wondering
II she were going to faint.
The proWler moved swiftly about the room
Suddenly Jean realized what he must be after
the ivory elephant! He went through the draw
ers OF her dresser, using a tiny light that re-
vealed nothing of him except his vague outline
Then he ransacked the closet, table, even the
chairs. How glad she now for Lenny's
foolish notions!
Then the prowler returned to the bed What
was he going to do? He loosened the gag in
her mouth
where's the ivory elephant?" he demanded.
You brought it into this room with YOU to-
night. Where is it? Tell me- if you want to
live!"
Jean was almost paralyzed with terror Then
suddenly she heard outside the window, a low
and familiar whistle. The light shining in her
eyes snapped off. The whistle was repeated as
she heard the bed room door close softly. And
then Jean expelled all the breath from her
lungs in one long, piercing scream.

DR.. SPEER DEFENDS :.
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Church Leader Disagrees
With Report Urging Divorce
of Two Units.
nv the Associated Press

ny the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 2.-Dr. Robert
y. Speer, prominent church leader, de-
clared todf that, while it was too early
70 know whether the report of the lay
mems foreign mission inquiry would
benefit missions or harm them, missions
would continue "as long as there are
christian people who believe in the
New Testament"
He said the report, a much-discussed
TOPIC in Protestant circles, was not real
Yly laymenS report, and that neither
he nor many of the denominations
could agree with its theological basis or
Its recommendation that the mission en-
eferprise be administered as q unit.
Foreign Missions" asserted DR..
Speer, who is secretary Of the Board OF
Z Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States, and a
FORMER president of the Federal Council
OF Churches, have suffered less IN this
depression than hom emissions, philan-
shropic institutions or education"
While disagreeing with some Of its
major findings, he praised ''the purpose
and spirit" of the report, and approved
many Of its proposals for the better
ment Of the program in the Far East.
''The impression that the inquiry was
carried through by great body of lay
men Is incorrect" he said. only
very small but devoted group was be-
hind it. And of the Is members of the
commission that wrote the report. no
more than three could be classed as
business laymen in the popular sense Of
the word.
''The theological basis Of the report
represents the now out-moded Protest
ant liberalism of the past rs years. 1t
would have foreign missions admins
tered from a humanistic and philan-
thropic standpoint. rather than from
the conviction of Christ as the perfect
revelation of God.
.'The New Testament spirit comprises
both philanthropy and humanitarian
ism and produces more good work than
these two alone do
Replying to the reports recommended
tion that the mission program Tor edu-
cation, health and rural betterment be
divorced from direct evangelization, DR..
Speer said that Christianity proceeds
a'by word and deed-not by either alone
When a medical missionary Is needed,
We send out man who is both good
Christian and an expert in medicine,
and there are many such.
I'm afraid the commission which
drew up the report, spent too short a
time In the field to see that the greater
body of our missionaries are really liv-
ing among the people and spreading
Christianity by their mode OF life as
well as by what they preach.
"It is true, as the report says, that
q better missionary personnel is needed.
but we are not unique in that respect.
The bar needs better personnel and
so do the teachers and so do the
politicians"

 The Elks clinched the game in their half of the seventh when Garn singled and trotted home ahead of Erskine when the latter homered off Gorham's roof
 They added another in the eighth that was a simon-pure gift. With one out, Jernberg grounded to short and Roller missed it. He went to second while Manning threw out Big Mac at first and scored on Haines' two-bagger to left.
 Boyd got on first on Garn's bob ble in the eighth and died there, and Roller drew a pass in the ninth and also died at first, and these were all the chances the Vets had to score after the sev- enth. They failed to register a single safety in the last two frames.

 If they can win tonight, and the chances apparently are in their favor, the series will be over as it takes but three games to decide the event. They are the best bet because they have Claud Erskine all rested and ready to work in tonight's battle
 He hasn't pitched since Fridays game which the Elks won to 4, largely through poor baseball by the American Legion entry. He ought to be hot for the gam e this evening. sf ''''"

U. S. NEEDS COACHES

Americans want to win,' writes Thomson, in summing up the case for the coaches. They want to be the best in the world They want to hold records. They want to have the greatest teams in the country and the time allowed for a team or an individual to become perfected, or nearly so, is limited. We must get someone with a sound knowledge of the game to teach the youngsters in order to get the most out of them in the short time we have available.
 "The Naval Academy offers a good example The majority of our boys come here with probably less than the average amount of athletic training. They have been too busy trying to get in the place to have spent much time on ath- letics. Consequently, we have a lot of work to do when they get here and there's not enough time even then, to accomplish it. But without coaching, how much pro- gress would they make?"

first from the ballyhoo and prom thence surrounding their methods as well as a belief that many of them often were thinking of how best to keep their jobs instead of first considering what was best for their charges.
 Happily, such coaches were and are the exceptions. Happily, too, deflation all aiong the line. includ- ing salaries, has compelled most of our coaches to pay strict at tention to the business in hand.
 The majority of college coaches probably has done as much, if not more than any college professor to develop the character and we'll being of the boys. I know that coaches laugh at each other and remark that the fellow who has a losing streak with one of his teams must be going in for char acter building" but they take their responsibilities whole -heartedly and they do a good job
