 Griff smiled.
 You see," he said, "as soon as the police knew that I was keeping Thomas Decker concealed they tried to locate Decker by checking over oil of the hotels and rooming houses, paying particular attention to anyone who had registered on the night of the murder. I antici- pated this move on their part. Therefore, I put Decker in a place where they would hardly expect to find him, yet where he would be instantly accessible if l should de- sire to consult with him.
 Bleeker's eyes suddenly widened. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say word Griff nodded and said to the man who posed as his valet. Come in, Decker, and sit down. want you 1to talk with this man.
 The man in livery hesitated for "a moment, then took four swift steps. sat down abruptly in a chair, said nervously, You've let the cat out of the bag now. Why did you do it?" N

DOLL FIGURES
 GROW PLUMP

Philadelphia. (UP)-Baby dolls that suck from a nipple and breathe like real, live babies, are a new play thrill which Santa Claus will bring to 1884 Christmas trees, A doll that sleeps only on her right side is another novelty.
 Doll figuhes are bumper. For youngsters, who want to initiate mothers task of bathing baby, there are all rubber dolls that will not suffer from complete ablutions. Tiny rubber hathinettes, nursery scales, basinettes and complete lay cites are featured to provide nurs- cry realism in the play room. Doll carriages are resigned exactly like the best grown-up models, with sunshades, kicking space and pro- lection against drafts. Educators favor this type of initiative play because it trains rnanipulative skill, stimulates imagination and efficiently prepares for growil-up tasks.
 Hair is gaining new favor in the doll world. Long curls and wind blown bobs will be we'll represent ed this season along with the sleek, lacquered cultures. The fashionable doll in Santa's pack will be ;outfitted for every social and sporting occasion. She has roller skates, tap dances, skiis. and has lounging pajanas for tea. q

ions on all of them. Of course an educated man grows into very positive convictions in the limited field he knows about, but he knows where his positiveness should stop, because he knows where his ignorance begins. The all round ignorant mans ignorance begins anywhere and extends everywhere.
 S.-Dr Charles B. Davenport studied the family histories of 165, way ward girls in state institu- ton. Some of the families were highly intellectual. In one of these he traced violent outbursts of temper for five generations, and in large number for three gen erations. He concluded that in. people whose tempers are de- scribed by friends with such terms as violent" etc, heredity was the principal factor However, this does not Nlean they could not have been taught to exercise more or less self control.

Since the ned tables in this liv- ing room are relatively low, the lamps selected are tall in order to send sufficient spread of light On the book to be read beside it. However, if the end tables used were higher, the eye would catch raw glaring light from beneath the lamp shades. In that case low CT lamp standard like that at the right in the underneath sketch, or still lower one, as at the extreme left, would be used. Be mindful of the height of your end table and select your lamps accordingly!
 Many of the better lamps of course have adjustable upper stems and movable sockets, allow ing for change in height or spread of light.
 Bridge or floor lamps, of adjust able types like those sketched in the center, are second choice for this davenport arrangement. They should be placed at either end. the former with 60 or 75-watt bulb in each lamp and the latter with two 60 or 75-watt bulbs in each one. The difficulty is that the tall CT floor lamps cannot be placed far enough to the back of the dav- cnport (because of the waln to keep unshaded light from striking the eyes.
 If your davenport, however, stands away from the wall, well, that's another-a coming story.

CHILDREN MUST LEARN 10

NUN 4INIA \ Ak4sAA A4AeDs
 It is hard to handle the cranky child. One who fies into sudden un- controlled rages is even a bigger problem than his too-meek broth CT or sister.
 As matter of fact he is hap pier in his way than almost any other child living. Rage is a pleas ant sensation. It is chased among the emotions that give complete satisfaction to the soul.
 This does not include the nnors bid or breeding type. Such cltil- dren usually have some deep-se1t% ed cause for their unhappiness, sometimes imaginary but often real.
 The quick-tempered child Is diff ferent. His nerves explode in one grand smash and then it's all over, until the next time. He forgets about it and the sun comes out. He is usually amazed that others lay so much store by his fits.
 Habit Forming Emotion. l
 Quick rage becomes a habit. Any emotional demonstration be- comes habit if the mind likes it. And these. minds of ours love sre- lief at any cost. Rage is a relief.
 When we are good and mad we can lick the world. We love to get furious and throw our inhi- bilious to the wind. If feels 70 god to the wind. It feels so good to reach the stage where we can march off to the neighbors and tell them where to get off. We get a synthetic courage, and, oh, so chesty and forceful and recklessl We play better golf. We get the dishes done in i've minutes-what's the difference about a few chips if we are so mad at somebody we slam each plate as though 1t was his head.
 The child is no different. Tn fact, not having judgment or control in himself, he can go us twenty times better.
 And right here lies the danger thwarted child who is likely to have such brain storms, but the constantly humored one. If con sessions are too frequent, he won't learn to stand authority or disap- pointment. The child who gets his own way always can't stand losing it once.
 Heredity May Decide.
 Children have different disposi- tions. There can be no dispute about it. Some are regular fire brands. In spite of theorists. I own to a conviction about heridi- tary tendency along this line. But this does not say that nothing can be done about it. Another contrib utory cause to rage is a feeling of insecurity or trouble in the home. Psychologically this has been checked up and proved.
 Remove the cause that can and should be corrected from the child's life. That is first. However, if rage is merely self exploitation and sheer nastiness, solitude after each outbrust, or during it, is a good idea. Put him to bed and tell him he is too unpleasant to have about spelling other peoples fun. He will find in time that control pays.

REAL HEALTH EDUCATION

Much that purports to be health education in our common schools is sheer hooey. How can any one with a modicum of common sense imagine a young woman who has been trained to teach geography or arithmetic can take charge of the class in physiology and hygiene if she happens to have a vacant per- iod? That is the way physiology and hygiene or health is handled in the average elementary or high school.
 In Lansing, boys and girls en- tering sophomore grade in high school attend a series of lectures by physicians on sex matters. The lec- lures, Illustrated by sketches and lantern slides, cover the problem frankly, thoroughly, practically. The boys in2. one room, the girls in another, listen to different lec- boys among a group of six hun lures. At the first lecture, two dred were shocked and they faint cd. What do you say about that, old pruders? think it was for tunate thing that the two boys tainted. Even if they had nothing tO get dLdTHiSu dpOut, tAdt WoS sA small price to pay for the boon of such education of hundreds of boys who would otherwise go out suffer far worse than shock as a consequence of their ignorance
 One of the teachers in this Lans- ing high school informs me that the results of this fair deal to the pupils or students has been en- couraging: "A gap, which formerly existed between students and teachers. and doctors, has been bridged and boys and girls are quite free in their questions and discussions both during and after the lectures" }-f f,
 The same teacher goes on to ob- serve that in a pamphlet entitled ''The Problem of Sex Education in Schools" issued by the U. S. Public Health Service, Washington, D. C., in 1919, appears this view:
 Certainly all teachers are
 not fitted to engage in direct ! sex teaching. This task is for
 a few teachers only and in a l. few subjects only.- These few | teachers must meet many re- quirements. They must have
 an accurate and scientific knowledge of the facts to be
 imparted t. <. ." S@f es}
 But in practice our educators waive all that. They look down upon health education, physical l education, sex education as some. thing pretty low anyway. and from that attitude they readily comply with the practice of designating any teacher who has the spare time or who will accept the job, to dish out the hooey which sane

That's right" Decker said, T couldn't"
 'Then," Grift said your testi- mony wouldn't have helped the police in the least" That's what I told them" Decker said. T explained that to the officer"
 And" Griff continued, ''since your testimony couldn't have hurt anyone, no one would harm you to keep you from giving that testi- mony."
 Decker moistened his lips with his tongue, swallowed and said nothing.
 Therefore" Blocker said, you must know something that you're keeping back"
 Decker stared at Dan Blocker, then turned to Griff.
 "Damn it." he said, q hired you to protect me. Whats the idea of putting me on the grill in front of a witness?" Because I think you're getting off on the wrong foot" Griff said slowly.
 He took a picture from his inside coat pocket, the photograph. of a mans face-a man with wide cheek bones, sullen eyes, a rather high forehead and a slightly crooked nose. Look at it," he said.
 Decker took the photograph and studied it.
 Ever see him before?" asked Griff.
 "No, who is he?" a. < That" said Griff, lis the latest authentic photograph of Philip C. Lampson, sometimes known as Cincinnati Red" Decker stared at the picture with wide open eyes. You're trying to trap me in some way" he said. lGriff took folded newspaper it for yourself" he said. "The sons photograph. You can com- pare the two" t,tt, Decker looked from one to the other. Slowly a look of relief, came over his face.
 That wasn't the man." he said, ''who was driving the gray Cadil- lac car" A Griff nodded. q thought so." he said. "Now, let's have the truth, Decker"
 ''The man tried to keep me from seeing his face.' Decker said. "but gust of wind blew back his hat and there was enough light for me to see him plainly. I'd know him if saw him again. 1 don't know as I could describe him. He's sort of big featured. I can't tell it exactly, but it isn't this man, The eyes weren't so wide apart and he didn't have these big chek bones.' Griff nodded to Blocker. Get your newspaper on the ,tele- phone" he said. Your reporters can discover Decker. I don't care where they discover him. just so it isn't here. Shown a photograph of Lampson, Decker states positively | that Lampson was not the driver of the car"
 And then you're going to let me out where the Lampson gang can get me?" Decker asked. ' Be your age" Griff reported sharply. 'Lampson would put a bodyguard around you to see that nOlnlHS HdppeHeu ID you. Ou TS his best life insurance.
 But 1 thought sure it was Lamp son." Decker said. | That's what the police thought" Griff replied. Why didn't you tell l me the truth?" | T don't know. I was afraid. I guess"
 ! Blocker picked up the phone, called The Blade. While he was I talking Sidney Griff opened the
 drawer of his desk and took out an automatic. l "Carry a gum" he asked casu- ally of Blocker. Blocker slipped the receiver back | on it's hook. l "No," he said, eyeing the auto l matic with drowning distaste, ''and | I don't want to. I don't believe in carrying weapons" Put this in your pocket" Grin said.

Did you ever notice how your family or guests gravitate toward the davenport when entering the living room? They usually do.
 So it's really not surprising how much pleasure and livableness can be secured by adding, as perfect complements to the davenport, good lamps-properly placed!
 Like an artist with pallet of paints, home maker with a dav- export, lamps and end tables, can create balanced arrangement that is beautiful to the eye-and more than tnat-good to the eye from the standpoint of lighting.
 How to go about it when ones davenport is placed against a wall is illustrated in the accompanying sketch.
 Although the lamp arrangement looks casually and gracefully sim pie, it \embodies several technically correct things over which a light ing specialist would nod his head in approval.
 To begin with, the lamps (quite modish as twinsD are just tie right height for this arrangement. Two 60-watt bulbs in each lamp insure adequate light. The shades are open at the top and sufficient ly opaque to avoid undue bright ness and glare even when both bulbs in lamp are in use for reading, sewing, or studying.

 The girl who goes to business must plan a coiffure that will look well for at least three hours at time. In addition, 1t generally has to be rather versatile style, sim pie enough for the office and, with maybe one or two curls and 'swirls added, appropriate for evening. i The average business woman. after all, hasn't the time or the means to have her hair arranged in beauty shop before every eve ming party. She can't leave her desk at five, spent two hours with a fairdresser, bathe, dress and still be on time "a formal dim ner at seven-thirty. Obviously, then, her coiffure needs are quite different from those of a woman who can make beauty appoint ments in the middle of the after noon. s ., '.
 Of course, cveryone's hair should be groomed by a professional at least once every ten days. A scalp treatment, D shampoo and a good wave. should keep you going in fine shape. That Is, if you learn how to do things for yourself between vis- it's to the salon.
 One of the business women who is an exceptional example of those who learn coiffure tricks teaches reducing exercises in one Of our we'll known beauty salons and has, as YOU can we'll imagine, . mini mum of time to devote to her own grooming. However. she always looks neat and her hair always is in place. She brushes it straight back from her forehead and then makes four rows of small curis across the back. Two hairpins keep it behind her ears, When she goes out in the evening 1t is a sim Die mattter to give it the much sought fluffy ppearance.
