 "You don't have to worry about that!" Bannister said quickly. '"They won't hear about 1t from me-"
 Her eyes raised gratefully. T. threw the revolver away this morning," she said.
 "Threw it away?"
 The girl nodded. "I saw ham, per of soiled linen in the hallway and I dropped the revolver down under some sheets"
 "But that was the worst thing you could do!' Bannister ex- claimed, dismayed. Someone is sure to find the gun. They'll trace it to you-"
 The girl looked startled. "oh!" she said. Do you think so? I hadn't thought of that. I-I just wanted to get rid of it." There was a moment pause. Then the girl said slowly, "I guess it doesn't matter much. guess they'll be here pretty quick to get me anyhow" The gray eyes were helpless again.

 Bannister spoke up then. He knew that he didn't believe the story Juliet France had told him. He didn't believe she had come to Fremont to hunt for 9 job or that she had gone to Tracy Kings apartment to ask him to hear her sing. He couldn't believe her story about the revolver either. Why, he didn't even know whether or not

PROBLEM OF CHILDREN
 WHO BOLT CIAs8E

What happens when an irresist- ible force meets an immovaDie force? What happens when the law says a boy must stay in school ano he won't stay in school? Something, we may be sure 1D the way of trouble.
 When I say Wont stay in schooop' don't mean that he act
 ually won't go, stay all day, come home at o'clock. I mean that he
 won't stay on any other terms but his own.
 He knows nothing can be done about 1t. Compulsory education
 shoves him in the front door and everything about it, but if the law
 hauls him in by the collar he's going to enjoy himself as much as he can and his idea of a good time isn't studying, behaving, or any thing else.
 Fortunately the percentage of actual rebels is very small. True, there are many in spirit, but as n
 rule they conform outwardly at least and that is a relief to every
 one.
 Teachers Problem Now the problem, think is not so much that of the boy as about be teachers who lay their weary be teachers who lay thir weary heads on their desks after school and wonder what the answer is. Bill, we'll say. is such a boy. He is demoralizing the whole room. If
 he was just plain mischeyious or bored or discouraged, his teacher
 would find from the depths of her experience some way to reach him. But he is the veriest outlaw III every respect.
 She has done everything sent for his mother, talked to the prin- cipal, coaxed. bribed, and even
 desperately threatened. You can't do anything" he | says. You can't put me out. We pay taxes and you have to let me | come to school" She knows he's | right. Nothing like old-time expul-
 sion to hold over his head. So he's coming right along and
 the other forty-nine children are
 losing time, and other priceless
 things by the daily sparring. I have known more than one
 schoolroom to be completely de-
 moralized for term by one coy
 or as it often happens, two. Flo,
 usually there is a Man Friday. Suggested Solutions Corporal punishment is past tense in most places. That's all | right, too, because the teacher Is there to teach and not play hang
 man. She doesn't want it. All she wants is peace so she can go ahead and do her work. She doesn't
 want to play jailer either, keeping
 children in after school and her
 self in, too.
 So what is to be done? Utopia isn't here yet. The time may como
 when each child will be so inter- ested in what school offers there
 will be no recalcitrants seekig re- prisal by misbehavior. One suggestion is to remove the | disciplinarian department from the teaching department and to have q
 superintendent of justice, let us call
 her, or him. an officer to interpret
 the law for both parent and teach-
 CT. Such a point of conduct might
 settle many disputes that are now
 an endless source of friction be-
 tween home and school. School
 ethics and constructive planning would be it's work.

PARIS STYLES
(Unted Press Stan Correspondent,
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris UP)--It's funny how .wo men are falling for trains these early days of winter. We happen ed to see one of Schiaparellfs Al models in brilliant blue tree bark with a train the other night. Mrs O. Precinct. American and very beautiful, had 1t on. Proving the popularity of this model, we hap pen to know that Miss Ruth Pal mer, daughter of Mrs Francis Pal mer, who is shortly to make her New York debut, also has it, Hers is in white, and Mrs G. k. Carter. and the Countess of Beaucamp also have included it in their winter wardrobes.
 We're afraid you just won't be in 1t if you don't have a tree bark in your closet. Everybody's got one. Madame Toscanini wore hers-in black-at both of her husbands concerts.

WITH ALMA ARCHES

Paris (UP)-There was fancy doings the other night when Sacha Guitry opened in u new play which according to some of the specta- tors, wasn't half as exciting as the costumes that attended it.
 Mrs Tony Riddle and another social registerite were there all rig ged out in Schiaparelli's new silver fox evening cape, which is a lusci- ous confection consisting of layers of smokey gray chiffon with the silver foxes wriggling horizontally up and down, not straight, but on the bias. One of the capes was worn over an evening gown in slim ky black "anthracite"-that new material that looks like jet and hugs the body with the affection of a bathing suit.

OLE DOC TRIES HIS HAND AT SNAP DIAGNOSIS AND PROF. ABLY HAS A GREAT FALL.
 A dentist writes-and I call at- tention to the fact that my plea to the dentists to relinquish the pro- fessional use of the title Doctor to us physicians exclusively has not alienated the affection of all den- tists-that his wife bruises very easily, and he would like my ad- vice about it. She gets black and blue marks on her legs, thighs, body or arms from the slightest pressure or trif1ing blow or pinch. The doctor wonders if this is due to poor circulation. She is 26 years old.
 Frankly of course I have no def1- mite notion what ails the poor girl, but sometimes-well, I-hate to in- sinute but maybe if the doctor would not handle her 50 roughly, now.
 I venture to suggest that the lady needs to have her calcium meta bolism looked into. If that seems too formidable for her, then she might while away some of her spare time and a hunk of the doc tors spare money taking ,sunbaths, or if she can't afford sunlight, then ultraviolet lamp treatments. If she doesn't like cod liver oil well enough to smack her lips after spoonful or two of it every day, then she may substitute a daily tablet of viosterol-dentists get pretty good fees nowadays and can afford to squander a little on such luxuries.
 If or when she goes to see about her calcium metabolism it might be well for her to ask the doctor to make sure her parathyroid glands are functioning properly. and, if he thinks they're inclined to soldier on the job he may pre- scribe whatever he deems indi- cated.

 3.-Just the opposite. James liar yey Robinson shows in his remark able book, Mind in the Making, that most ancient ideas were put over by some big wig to defend himself, or show his importance or to put something over on the ops posite political party or the op- posing nation. This is the process now called standardization; that is, finding excuses - which we call .'reasons''-for what we want to do. Those two new things that have made the modern world, namely, critical analysis and scien- tiff experiment, were unknown forms of thinking--except among some of the ancient Greeks-and these are the only roads to cor rect ideas.

 Paris (UP)-What kind of an evening gown should you select this winter?
 If it is the material that is worrying you, make your selec- tion from any of the following: satin, georgette, marocain, chif- ion or faille.
 Real silk fabrics have a supple ness that make it possible to mold and outline the body according to the latest edicts of Fashion. You can't get perfect line unless you have a fabric that clings. Even the new wools must have that l. won't-let-go look about them. Which makes me remember that

little syrup to chase the dose, and keep this up steadily for a period of not less than eight or ten weeks. No use messing around with the calcium lactate for less time than that. No harm in 1t anyhow, eX- cept that occasionally it upsets the stomach, though this is less likely to happen if the tablet is crushed to powder and plenty of water or sweetened drink taken with it.
 To further promote good cal- cium metabolism the bruised lady should see to it that her diet is not sparing in calcium Oime). Folk of egg, fresh milk, cheese of all kinds, peas, beans, cabbage, let tuce, turnips, all kinds of greens, nuts, raw carrots, oranges, celery, radishes, peanuts, olives, oatmeal, are good sources of food calcium.
 Above all, hope the doctor will try kindness and tenderness on her for a while and see if she won't re- spond even if she is a bit, young and headstrong.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Is the so-called waterless cook ing or steaming of vegetables bet ter from the health viewpoint than ordinary boiling? Is any signifi- cant nutritive loss involved in the practice of pouring the cooking water down the sink? (M. R. C.)
 Answer-There is no significant nutritive loss involved, except in the rare case where the individuals diet is restricted to vegetables so cooked. The cooking water con. tains some of the mineral salts dis. solved out of the vegetables, and is good to use in making soup or gravy, but the mineral salts so lost are readily made up by the mineral salts one gets from eating raw rel ishes, salad vegetables, fruits, greens, milk, cheese and the like. The method of cooking is a matter of your own taste or preference rather than health problem.

 Answer-Not more likely than children born to any one else. No one knows why such defects as cleft palate, hare lip. club foot, and the like happen. They just hap pen now and then. These develop mental defects are congenital (present at birth) but not inher- ited.

Too bad that I have no recollec-

I feel strong enough to bear

that I behaved with great dig

solemnity seems to hang about
me like a pail, and I had an

precise behavior last night. Evi-
