 Rookie Bill Leo was making his major league starting debut for the Cubs against such brnwnics ns Ethan Allon and Dick BartelI. Woli sir that young right-hander just whipped the apple across tho plate so adroitly that he held tho phillies to four singles and blnnked them 2 to 0. Meanwhile Holley and DHVib hDVWtu ByfVn HibDs 0fNtu V double scored Billy Herman in the sixth, and HartnottB double sent home Camilli in tho seventh.

 Paris. (UP)-Maybe you saw
 Mrs Frank Jay Gould when she
 was in America, wearing that superlatively chic Molyneux res- taurant ensemble of bordeaux vel vet. The skirt long to the ankles and the jacket short to the waist with long sleeves going into those new -flangled gloves the British captain concicted all in one piece with the sleeve. THhe boluse with it was of gold, red and black plaid taffeta.
 For evening she had a stream line black velvet gown, slightly trained and worn with sapphire blue cape with two bows. lined
 with wo bows, lined with black velvet.
 Mrs Allen Wellman, another one of our sartorial saints, goes in for streamlines with a Molyneux evening gown of black velvet with a large tulle boa also in black. out lining the decollete with no shoul-
 der straps. She also has that new material from this house-the shaded velvet which is woven that
 way. Hers is in green with the short cape trimmed with ragged tulips on one shoulder. For vcocktails and dressy after noon affairs, Mrs Wellman also wears black velvet, angle-length,
 slit on one side. It has pale pink and red (but they blend so it is all right valvet bows at the neck and a short black wool cape lined with black velvet.

 YOURSELF By Alicis lsrt .,:I

It's surprisingly true that good many women still put perfume on their clothes instead of directly on the skin. That's wrong, of course We all know perfectly well that perfume odor becomes infinitely more appealing after it has been on warin skin for q few minutes.
 whether or not you use an atom izer is entirely up to you. One schcool maintains that spraying a scent on neck, chest and hair equalizes the odor and keeps It from seeming too strong. Another insists that dropper is better and that a drop of perfume. behind each ear and on each wrist is the ideal procedure. Try both methods and see which suits you best.
 \ Remember that this is just the time of year to stock up with heavier. more lingering scents than you used in the summertime and early fall. There's a new gardenla, for instance, and any girl who thinks that gardenia is too sickish- ly sweet for any ordinary use will change her mind once she smells this one. It hints of fresh gardenias of course, but it's spicy in re- freshing sort of way. You won't tire of it. Neither will your escort.
 Don't forget that the cologne you use after your bath should harmonize with your perfume. The same applies to bath powder and toilet water.

don't know whether there is anyany great harm in dampness or getting the feet wet, but doubt you will deny that winter slush and accumulations of snow and ice and street grime make ideal breeding pl4ces for disease germs especially the germs of influenza and la grippe .. CT. R. D.
 Answer-Nonsense, old timer. That is sheer morbid fancy. If there is a specific infectious dis ease indicated by the vague term ''infiuenza" or Ia grippe" the in- lection is carried from person to person principally if not solely by mouth spray given off in coughing, sneezing or ordinary talking. The notion that flu or grip ''germs" (no one has identified the cause of in- fiuenza or grip) Turk" in slush or piles of snow or ice about the streets is an almanic notion propa- gated by old time quacks who vended alleged cold and grip cures when the weather was cold and wet.

SYNOPSIS


 When CHARLES MORDEN,
 reporter for The Blade, is found
 dead DAN BLEEKER, publish
 e, employs SIDNEY GRIEF,
 Famous criminolOgist, to solve the murder. Morden had been in- yestigating the affairs of FRANK B. CATHAY, wealthy and prom fraent, following the arrest of an inapost0r claiming to be Cathay and accompanied by girl called MARY BRIGGS.
 I The day following Morden's death CatIaY dies of poisoning.
 Grin learns Morden had visit cd the apartment of ALICE HORTON, pretty and unemploy- ct. He cOnfrOnts Alice with KENNETH BOONE, accuses the pair of killing Morden, and they are arrested.
 for whom MRS CATHAY and CARL RACINE, detective in her employ, have been searching, is located but refuses to talk.
 Griff and Blocker go to the ho- tel where Mary Briggs, now known as Stella Mockley, is stay ing. They find CHARLES FISH, FIR, Cathay's lawyer, there. The girl tells them that the man who itnpersonated Cathay was PETE MALONE and that he frequent lt telephoned FRANK BLISS, Cathay's chauffeur.
 Fisher explains to GriH and Blocker his theory of Cathay's death.
 
 CHAPTER XXXIX
 Griff nodded to the lawyer. "You tell him." he said.
 Fisher turned, facing Blocker. "At the time the check was cash ed" he said, speaking slowly and with grave emphasis, ''the plot, whatever it was, was about to cul- minate. This man, Malone, knew that Cathay would not be in a po- Bition to make any complaint. In other words, he had anticipated the death of Frank B. Cathay, in which event the cancelled check with the forged signature would be found among his effects. A check up of the hotel register would there that night: that the man WuO Hdu CdSIicu thC SliCNh lidu Cn- hibited documentary evidence show ing he was the real Frank Cathay. Of course this matter would not come up until months after Ca thay's death, when the estate had been probated and the claim of this man, Malone, whatever the na- ture of it, would be presented against the estate and brought up to trial. As you are doubtless aware litigation takes time and is subject to annoying delay.
 "The attorneys representing the Malone claim, whatever it's nature. would demand that the estate pro- duce all documents and vouchers which were in its possession. The check could not have been destroyed because it would have come into the possession of the estate instead of the possession of Cathay before his death. It would, therefore, make an excellent dem of the genuineness of the forgeE signature"
 And what" asked Blocker, lis the nature of this claim that Ma lone is to maker"
 fl wish I knew, Fisher said. "I can surmise and I can suspect but my obligations to my client, gentle men, prevent me from communicat ing my suspicious or my surmises. It even goes so far as to seal my lips upon facts, save such facts as believe I may communicate with detfiment to my client
