Instead, she turned like a fright
ened rabbit, scuttling down the hall
In another instant Mrs. Peterman,
red-faced, breathing hard, appeared
in the doorway.

thought you'd been badly hurt"
Il? Are the lot Of you out of

The cook stared, arms akimbo
mo sir" she said firmly. Miss
Sandra had the phone message and
she went tearin off like a wild
thing before we could find out what
it was about"
"Sandra got a message about me?
What on earth?"
Somebody rang up, sir, and said
you'd been in an accident some
where. She got her little car out
and went tearing to see"
What nonsense is this?" de-
handed Gregory Lawrence. "a
nasty sort of practical joke, should
say What time was this?"
About an hour ago, sir, just
shortly after you'd started for your
walk I was settin' my rolls for
breakfast when the bell rang. 1 said
to the girl, I said, Get on to that
wire. will you. and she ran for Miss
Sandra like the man told her to"
The man broke in on this, with
furious impotence. Never mind,
never mind What did he say?"
That I couldn't tell you sir. Miss
Sandra rushed off like something
was at her heels. Didn't say who
it was called, nor anything"
Gregory Lawrence pressed his
lips together in impotent anger.
Then he strobe toward the tele-
phone closet. His resonant voice
could be heard plainly by the two
women outside.
Give me Chief Burkhardt, please
Tom? This is Gregory Lawrence
Some funny business at my house.
While I was out just now, Sandra
got a message telling her I'd been
injured She's gone-God knows

maid twisted her apron.

There was the sound of running
steps on the drive The cook, turn
ing her head, saw a small white
object hurtle through the front
doorway AS she ran to pick it up,
motor roared away.
Here's a note, Mr.. Lawrence.
Somebody threw it from the
porch"
He took it, still holding the re-
ceiver.

scanned the page He groaped.
They've got her-Some devils! It's
note from Sandra." There was a
rumble at the other end Of the wire.
You're coming right over? No,

to do. They may do something
awful to her if they know I've COM

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

HOWEVER spectacular Russia'S
L 1 five-year plans, giant power
plants and new cities may be, the
most interesting part about the
Soviet experiment is the effort to
evolve a whole new code of moral
ity.
For the Russians are trying to do
nothing less than change human
nature. regardless of mankind's old
assurance that it can't be done.
Ella Winter provides a marvellous
ly interesting study of this vast ex-
pertinent in Red Virtue"
1t deals with the human values
involved in the strange and compli-
Gated Russian equation, and it
strikes me as the most absorbing
book on Russia yet printed.
How is it all working out? Very
strangely, reports this author. Rus
STA for example, has what you
might call a nationwide system of
companionate marriage, vet it is
rapidly developing an almost Puri-
tanical set of ethics in regard to
sex relations
Far from being a land of hcens
ii is beginning to stand up so
straight that it means over back
ward.
Housing shortages often force un-
married men and women to occupy
the same bedroom - without bring
ing about any physical intimacy.
Prostitution has been crbed so
that in some of the biggest cities
prostitutes are almost unknown.
Family relations are being re-
shaped profoundly - yet there are
signs that a new richness is being
brought into the contacts between
husband, wife and children.
II is impossible to summarize
this book briefly. Let it suffice to
say that it is a sympathetic but un-
biased account Of the most amazing
experiment on human nature ever
made. Published by Harcourt, Brace
and Company, it sells for So.

"NT-NO." Sandra admitted the
IN truth of that. But I'd thought
of-that is I have an invitation
from the Cardigans to go out to
Wyoming. Their cousins are on a
dude ranch there. 1t sounds" fin
ished Sandra with a playful note
of wistfulneSs, as though it would
be fun"
"Um-mm. see Mr.. Law
renee considered this.
Il can drive you about for week
or two until you get some one to
replace James" Sandra said eagerly
I'd love that. Then you'd go away
and so would land when we got
back everything would be running
like Clockwork again
Sounds. all right With the Car

renee. Looks as if that boy of
theirs is making dead set for my
girl, eh?"
Father" She pretended to be
confused. How can you be So

Just outspoken, that's all" But
she could see his good humor par
italy restored. Mrs. Peterman's
roast chicken was delicious. and so
were the perfectly cooked and sea-
soned vegetables handed round
timidly by the girl in the new uni
form.

are going I know they haven't
been so good for US lately"
His father interrupted. rather

Those places are safe as Main

Don't see why I have to go traip-

Anyhow, they'll have plenty bf
protection. Lance WatermanIl be
there and both the Franklin kids.
They're grown up now. AS for
bears, his tone was contemptuous,
Gerry and Sandra can handle q

Il know that l know that" His
fathers voice was a rumble deep
in his throat. 1t made the old man
uncomfortable to lecture Dan this
way. No sense to it, at all 1t was
rank foOlishne SIS, spending all that
money on a trip with the market
the way it's been.
He was worried about money, no
mistake about IT, No good suggest

just flare up and tell him he ought
TO manage things better Well,
maybe he should have done that.
Worried about money, that made
him think of something else he'd
been meaning to speak to Dan
about.

i raised. what's this
I hear about you and Sandra?"
Me and-?" Dan looked blank
for an instant, then smiled. I'm
sure, dad, don't know what you've
heard"
Mother thinks Sandra's pretty
sweet on you Now don't get sore,
boy. You know how mothers are.
Mother'd be mighty pleased to see
you make a go of that, and SO, I
might say, would l.
"Sandras a fine girl, you know.

but she's got lots of money. What
passes for a fortune these days. Her
fathers a shreWd business man, and
hes done some smart investing
Sandras all he's got"
Dan had turned in his chair, was
looking unseeingly out the window.
He did not reply.
Il would be a fine thing for you,
every way you look at it," persist
ed the old man. I'm not saying
this without having given the mat
ter thought"
He glanced measily at the silent
young man. We'll, I'll say no more.
l won't bother you about it now.
Only-the business isn't what I
hoped it would be, son, to pass
along TO you You've been brought
up to like expensive things. I'd be
the last one in the world to suggest
you should marry a girl for her
money, but there's no question of
that in this particular case. No man
in his senses could help admiring
Sandra'
He waited for affirmation and
Dan accorded it, grudgingly. I sup

Good. Good! I'm glad you feel
that way about it. That's why

1t has been estimated that
in 1929 this nation spent $3,-
647, 100000 for the care of its
medical ills. And that's only for
one year.
Besides, to give you an idea
of the cost of disease, as meas
ured in fatalities, let me quote
from a searching scientific re-
port made recently. In 1880,
say these statistics, 135,845
babies died. During the same
year 88,088 adults succumbed
to tuberculosis and 1888 to
cancer; while the Great War,
which we always think of as a
frightful example of ruthless
waste of life, actually claimed
of the United States forces a
comparatively small number,
namely 50,285 lives. Human
life" concludes the committee
in charge Of the Investigations,
"is being wasted as recklessly,
as surely, in times of peace as
in times of war!"
Yes, it costs money to be
sick-plenty of it-not to men,
ton the pain and the torment
that go with it. And. of course,
the doctors bill is not the only
money item to be considered.
Often there is the added cost
of one or more nurses, an op-
Grafton perhaps, a room in the
hospital, medicines and what
not.
Two per cent of the popula-
ton at least require some sort
of medical attention all Of the
time. For this there are en-
ployed 10000 physicians, 50,-
900 dentists and 100000 trained
nurses, besides more than 100,-
900 other employees who act as
practical" nurses, orderlieS,
medical stenographers, office
assistants, clerks and the like.
The same committee which
studied this problem of ''Medi-
cal Care for the American Peo-
pie" discovered that for every
dollar spent on trying to re-
store ourselves when we're sick,
29.9 cents go to physicians in
private practice, 23.5 cents to
hospitals, 1873 cents to dentists.
So cents to nurses, 3.3 cents for
public health work, 1872 cents
for medicines, "a cents to prac-
titioners in fields related to
orthodox medical practice,
which the committee deSignates
as "cultiStS," and AZ cents to
