CLEVELAND, Nov. 30.-Bullets
interrupted Frank Patlon's perfect
game of solitaire.
Police, answering a call early one
morning from Patton, found him at
his garage and service station,
slumped by the telephone, with a
wound in his abdomen. Police found
on his desk an unfinished solitaire
game which could easily have been
won.
Before he lost consciousness, Pat
Ion murmured, ''I was slow in put
ting them up'-they drilled me"
From other incoherent mumblings
they gathered it was two young,
swarthy men. Twenty dollars was
missing from the cash register. He
was wounded seriously.

is not far-fetched and neither is
the tragedy which must creep into

a very high purpose. The director

BY WALTER ID. HICKMAN


IF you have been looking for
u a brand new murder mystery
that is entirely different" for a
Christmas present for a friend, I
have found you just the right
book.
I suggest that you read MUIR
der Calling" by David Whitlaw,
and published by Claude Kendall,
before you give it to your friend
for Christmas.
You will have much more pleas
ure knowing what the story is all
about because it is swell trying to
guess who killed Stephen Droon.
Murder Calling" is a mystery
story that should be read aloud.
1t happens to be mystery story
that does not have even detec-
tive or a Scotland Yard man.
There are only two officials
named-one pompous English
coroner and the other constable
stationed at the gate of a lodge
where the man known as Droon
was murdered in his study one
night.
The story introduces the reader
to a number of interesting char
acterS-Mr. Archibald Bates, a
clerk for a London solicitor who
had inherited his fathers legal
blackmailing and cheap divorce
business; Mr.. Bates, the solicitor
in question; Mrs. Lemaire and her
charming step-daughter Doreen,
and Rhoda Fraser, a woman with
a past who wanted an easy future.
All of these and several others
were vitality concerned in the muir
der.

new in mystery novels and it has
been sanely and cleverly written

Editor Declares.
By United Press
CLEVELAND, Nov. 3O.-Under a
capitalistic form of government there
can be no such thing as world
peace, DR.. Charles Clayton Morri-
son, editor of the Christian Century,
Chicago, told $1,000 northeastern
Ohio teachers at a meeting here.
Actual causes of war, he said, are
economic and beyond power of gov
eminent to control. THE threat of
war will be held over mankind so
long as unrestrained competition on
a capitalistic basis, motivated by
the desire for unlimited profit, char
acterizes our economic life," DR..
Morrison said.

sympathetic, human, kind and even
severe.
The romance may be stated in a
few words. John Boles, wealthy
polo player, falls in love with Miss
Young as June Arden, student nurse
in training home for nurses.
June decides. in a gripping emo
tional scene, to send John away and
remain a nurse. There is no COM
promise as it is indicated that June
always will be a nurse-and a grand
one at that.
If your are interested in direction,
watch the way the director has
handled the repetition of the daily
routine in the busy life of nurse
in training.
All the nurse types have been Sc
lected carefully and the result is a
fine and intelligent movie which
makes it a credit to the industry.
None of the principal roles or just
the bit parts are ineffectively
played. 1t is splendid team work.

Tennis Racket Strrngs

. EPLACING a broken string in a tennis
~ racket is not difficult job Any boy or
girl can make a satisfactory repair job by
using an ice pick and a medicine dropper for
tools. The broken string is removed and pulled
through the holes in the racket frame. new
gut string, obtainable at any sporting goods
store. is then threaded through the frame holes
and woven through the other strings of the
racket.
The secret of rethreading is to have the
strings exceedingly taut. AS the strings are
being pulled through the holes in the racket
frame. pull the string as hard as you can, then
stick the point of an ice pick in the frame
hole on the outside of the frame to prevent
the string from slipping back and becoming
loose. The point of the ice pick will hold each
strand of string as it is being threaded Now
fasten each string securely and permanently,
using a medicine dropper in which a small
amount of glue has been drawn. The point
of the dropper allows you to force the glue
clear through the frame hole. AS each hole
is glued. it should be plugged with wooden
peg cut from a match stick and driven tightly
into the glued hole. rethreaded racket
should not be used for at least "a hours in
order that the glue may dry thoroughly.
