Well, it's no surprise of course, but these are the birds," he said at last. Most of these prints are pretty badly smudged, but we've enough to go on. Here's Red Jack sons, big as life, and Wingy Lew is's. That's enough"
 As he was putting his facsimile cards back into his pocket the door opened and Gunderson came in.
 "It's back in your bailiwick, MT. Glenn," said Gunderson. That phone number is in a little town named Midlothian, about hundred miles from Dover. It belongs to 8 farmer named Engle, who lives out on the edge of the town"
 Jean Dunn sat in an old-fashion- ed rocking chair on the porch of the little farmhouse and looked out at the fields that shimmered in the summer heat. She had been at the farmhouse just little less than 24 hours, now, and every hour seemed to increase the queer feeling of dis satisfaction and uneasinesS that possessed her.
 To begin with, she told herself, she ought to be getting back to Dover. She had delivered the en- velope which MT. Montague had asked her to deliver; that part of the job was finished. In addition, she had found Sandy, satisfied her. self that his accident would not have any serious consequences, and thus eased her mind on that score. She could not. then stay on here indefinitely. She had done all that she set out to do; it was time for her tosbe leaving.
 Yet when she had mentioned this to Sandy, half an hour before. he had been rather unsympathetic about it. Indeed. his lack of sym- pathy seemed to arise from a wholly new attitude toward her, an attitude which she did not at all like.
 'What do you want to go back to that dump for?" he asked her petulantly, as she sat by his bed and explained her desire to return to Dover.
 ''But sandy. I must" she said.

ish. amiable, fondly familiar. Her unrest somehow diminished as she sat facing him.
 T talked to Red about it," said Sandy. I'm afraid you're out of luck, for just now. You see, we've only got two cars here, and they're both tied up for the rest of the day. But listen" = he hurried on as she started to protest first thing tomorrow it'll be different. Red promised and if you don't want to take his word. I'll give you my promise. Okayl"
 She hesitated. She wanted to leave now = to-day - and yet |.
 "Oh, what's one more night?" asked Sandy, laughing. ''Nobody'll bite you. There's two married women here to chaperon you = Eve Lewis and Mrs. Engle, the farmers wife. And I'm crippled, anyhow" :" His eyes danced with mocking hu- mor. She found herself smiling in tune with him.
 You're sure - about tomorrow morning?"
 "of course. Come on--it's okay. isn't it?"
 She gave a little laugh, with just 6 faint note of irritation in it. T guess it'll have to be-" sine said.
 Time seemed to drag, in this farmhouse. Sandy was still weak. unable to walk with her outdoors. Lewis was absent in enc of tl,c cars, and the strange ''Red" was aloof and unapproachable. Jean took a stroll across the fi]ods with Eve. sat in the dusl.y. old-fashtoned living room with Sandy. iOunged

Household Hints :
Jane AddamS' Successor Is Unknown
 Despite 40 Years Of Social Service
Adena Miller Rich s Life DevOted To
 Hull House
BY ELIZABETH WALKER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

NEA SCEVACC EoSsSA OVAACSPVAACAS
 Chicago - An aura oT mystery hovers around Adena Miller Rich who has succeeded the late Jane Addams as head resident of Hull House in Chicago.
 When her appointment was an- nounced only the briefest facts con- corning her long and varied exper- fence in social work were recorded. Neither WHO'S WHO nor any of those directories of prominent wo- men,, so-called, made any mention of her.
 Her activities on behalf of the un- derprivileged, especially those of alien birth and ancestry, has won her such a national reputation in welfare circles, however, that the trustees of the oldest of American settlements, when they set them selves the seemingly impossible task of finding a successor to Miss Addams, unanimously chose her.
 The story of Adena Rich is in- extricably interwoven with that of Hull House.
 Two decades ago, when she was embarking upon her career of ci- vic service, a slim, golden-haired creature with wide blue eyes, who was acclaimed "the prettiest girl in social work" she went to Hull House to live.
 Became Miss AddamS' Secretary
 T shall never forget how worried I was about getting in," Mrs. Rich recalled the other day, sitting at the scared mahogany desk in the little book lined study which for nearly

Reading for fun" is the slogan adopted this year for Children'S Book Week. Hurrah for that!
 It's high time we realized that reading for sheer delight is the only way we'll ever get children to look on papers between covers with favor Yes-good laughs, thrills, shivers and goose-flesh have more use than the minutes entertainment. They are agents, friendly scouts sent out by Good Old Man Knowledge to cultivate the Book Habit.
 Once he has the youngsters hook ed he mods sagely, this Old Fellow Knowledge does, and reaches behind him slyly pulling down volumes marked, Sensible Reading" or "Drier Reading" or Informative Reading" and he hasn't a bit of trouble getting them interested be- cause, you see, they like books.
 Don't Resy on Clerk to Make
 Selection
 But this does not mean that good- for-you books or informative ones are different from the pure-story books. Not at all. Authors of every variety of children's books are well aware that the nice little lessons have to be iced with the nice pink }etters of a good story to carry them.
 So in reading for fun all is not pqueals and shivers. All is not ad- venture, or laughter. Fun here means more than that. It means in- tereSt.
 Parents used to go to a store, they still do. and ask for a good book for boy of six or girl of eight. Act nally it isn't necessary-beside the poor clerk is dizzy usually with all khat wealth of books about her try

HEALTH.
PARASITIC NFEsTATION
 IN HAITI

A4N AAkAA4A
 In the A. Jour. of Public Health for August, 1885, Camille Therisson, M. D., says that examination of A. 439 peasants in the Reviere Froide, Carrefour and Degand districts of the island of Haiti in 1925 showed that 30 per cent had hookworms. Hookworms 1nfestation makes the host anemic, listless, languid, lazy, more or less indifferent. It has caused a good deal of the shift lessnesS and lack of industry and ambition which made many of our own southern negroes Sickly and lazy and whites mo account" In this country hookworm infestation is gradually being eradicated, by ed- ucation of the ignorant people about primitive sanitation, the proper dis poSal of excreta and simple personal cleanliness, and by curative rnedi- cal treatment of all persons who are found to harbor hookworms, whether they are as yet seriously anemic and broken in health or not.
 Hookworm infestation in child hood seriously retards growth and development. The worms lodge in the dudenum and cling to the mu- cous membrane by means of hooks, sucking blood and eating the epi- thelium and probably injecting 8 poisonous excretion into the hosts blood. The adult worms are one-half mch long, the diameter of a wire hairpin, rather larger than common pin worms or seat worms, hooked at one end. The eggs are microscopic. They pass from the body in the de- jecta. The eggs hatch into larvae in the sail, if the soil is warm, and moist. The larvae in the soil may penetrate the skin of the feet of one who goes barefoot or gets the feet wet and muddy, or the skin of the hands and arms of laborerS. In

penetrating the skin the hookworm larvae produce considerable irrita. ton and itching called ground itch, dew itch-especially between the toes, with an outbreak of 'papules or puStuleS or severe dermatitiS. Sev. eral weeks after penetration of the skin the larvae reach the duodenum, where they lodge, fasten onto the mucous membrane, and set up bus mess as adult hookworn1s, Their route is by way of the blood stream through the veins back to the heart. thence to the lungs, thence working their way up into the throat, where they are swallowed.
 This is the usual history of hook worm disease.
 The hookworms do not multiply in the body.
 Many comparatively healthy "car- riers" of hookworms are found among the affected population.
 It is of course possible that in some instances infestation with hookworm man occur from drinking polluted water or from eating veg etables or other, food washed or wet with polluted water. But the common mode of infestation is as described. Foot itch in any district where hookworm disease prevails therefore calls for careful diagnosis by 8 physician. It is often confused with the comparatively insignificant ringworm or athletes foot" Any remedy which is effective in reliev- ing ringworn of the feet is fortun- ately good remedy for hookworm itch too.
 Of the 4,439 Haitian peasants ex- amined 43 per cent were found to harbor ordinary round worms, and 58 per cent had whipworms, which are comparatively harmless para sites. Dr. Therisson says geophagism (eating soiD is frequent among the peasants from lack of certain die- tetic clements. What elements he does not suggest-I wonder if it is vitaminS.

Jean shook her head. i've got to get back to Dover, Eve"
 "Oh, forget it. Trail along with us. admit this place is a dump, but it's only for another day or so. Reds got another place spotted, and it'll be a spot where we can really enjoy lige a little."
 She yawned and stretched lazily. '"This place does give me the wil- lies," she added. ..
 ''But can't go," said Jean. You can understand, Eve, can't you? I've got a job to get back to-"
 "Oh, a job" said Eve, gestur- ing with royal disdain.
 "Well, I have. And anyway, it's different with me than it is with you. You're with your husband. I'm not-Sand and T."
 Eve smiled world-wise smile. "Why let that bother you?" she asked.
 Jean flushed, and her shoulders stiffened.
 "It's too bad, I suppose, but lt does bother me-" she said coldly.
 Eve looked at her in mild sur- prise, then tossed her cigaret butt out onto the lawn. She watched it smoldering there for a moment, then she shrugged and stood up.
 "It's too hot to have a row." she said. She started to walk to the door, then paused and looked down at Jean. "You really mean you're going back?"
 "Why, of course"
 "Well, talk to Red about it then"
 She started away but Jean caught her hand.
 Wait" she begged Eve - there's so much here I don't under stand. Who is this man Red, any, way? Why does everybody wait for him to decide everything. You, Sandy, everybody - it's always, I'll ask Red, or something. Who is he?"
 Eve looked down with a strange, indefinable expression on her face. Then she withdrew her hand, forced a laugh, and said, "Why don't you ask Sandy?' and went on in the house.
 This was hardly the sort of inci- dent that would calm Jeans rising dissatisfaction. She hesitated, un- certain, staring out at the open fields; then she got up and went to the little bedroom she had occu- pied the night before, and pro- ceeded to pack her overnight bag. Having finished, she cast last glance about the room, stopped be- fore the mirror to powder her face and pat her hair into shape, and then carried the bag downstairs. She deposited it in the front hall- way and then went into the living room looking for this strange. sub- tly menacing person they called Red.
 To her surprise she found Sandy there, at ease in a big mission chair. He was dressed in gray flannel trousers, tennis shoes, and Q white shirt. open at the throat. His bandaged shoulder was visible where the shirt stood open.
 "Well," he said. where you on to?"
 T wanted to find this man you call Red and see if someone won't drive me to Plainfeld," she said.
 "Oh," said Sandy. "Sit down while I explain"
 She sat on the edge of Q chair and waited. Down here, for some reason. Sandy seemed more like the Sandy she had known bef0re-boy-

mor, Hull Houses new director is the epitome of the modern social worker. She lives her work, yet she finds time to play golf and go to the theater with her husband who is now partner in 8 successful La Salle street brokerage firm. And ad- roitly she lets you know that her acceptance of the salary-less task of carrying on the work begun by her brilliant predecessor is her way of voting confidence in the future of American settlements.
 Back in 1928 many people ar- gued that the day of settlements was done. The individuals whom they were designed to aid no longer
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-13

needed their assistance. They had jobs. They were earning good sal aries. They could afford to buy all the education and recreation that the settlements were giving them. But since the depression that argu- ment has faded.
 To-day peopAe without oppor- tunity are looking to the settle ments to show them how to en- joy their enforced new leisure and make it bring them happiness. This is why I believe that the day of settlements is just dawning and that we at Hull House are only now em- barking upon our era of greatest usefulness"

q can't stay on here forever. I've got my work to get back to, for one thing"
 "Oh," he said, waving a hand airily. eff you ask me, old Mon- tague don't expect to See you again"
 Her eyes widened. "Why shouldn't he? He just sent me down here to give you that letter-or whatever it was."
 Sandy grinned at her. Don't fool yourself, baby" he said. "He knows you and I've got it bad. Bet you he's got new secretary en- gagged already"
 "He wouldn't do that" she said stoutly. Besides. Sandy, don't you see-I just can't stay on here with you, like this"
 "Why not?"
 "Why-I just can't, Sandy" He grinned a lazy grin, laid one hand on her wrist, and slid 1t slowly up and down her arm. "Why not?" he repeated.
 You ought to understand" she said.
 "Oh," he said, comprehension dawning. Forget it. We're going to be married. What difference does 1t maker"
 She stared at him blankly while his hand continued to slide slowly up and down her arm. In the brief time that she had been here, Sandy had displayed a tendency to paw her; she didn't like it, and she dis engaged her arm and stood up.
 i've just got to go back, whether you understand it or not" she said. Cant somebody drive mech, part way, anyway? To Plainfield, where I can catch 8 train?"
 Don't know if any of the cars are available" said Sandy.
 "Then I'll have to take the train from Midlothian"
 He grinned mockingly.
 There's only one train a day, in the direction you want, and it's gone already"
 But Sandy! Won't you help me? don't like this"
 He seemed to become penitent. Don't worry = I'll fix 1t" he said. "Ill speak to Red about it. Just forget about it. I'll fix things"
 On that assurance she had left his bedroom; and now, sitting alone on the porch and reviewing the conversation, she was forced to admit that she did not like the tone of it in the least. Sandy didn't seem like the sympathetic and un- derstanding sweetheart he had been in Dover, and in Maplehurst; some thing hard and unpleasant was showing through from underneath. Then her innate loyalty came to his defense.
 "I'm just - silly" she told herself. i've been tired and excited, and I SC things wrong. And he's sick. poor boy, and not himself. I mustn't judge him so hastily"
 Eve Lewis came out and perched on the porch railing. She lit a cigaret, tossed the match on the lawn, and looked down at Jean with a wry smile.
 'This place is a hole, isn't it?" she said.
 "Well, we won't he here long" said Eve. '"That'S one comfort. The next place'll be better"
 "Ah? Where are we-where are they going?"
 Eve noticed how Jean corrected herself and gave her Q curious look. "What do you mean-they'?" she asked. You're coming too, aren't you2"

half a century served as office for Miss Addams. T was afraid my cre- dentials wouldn't be acceptable. And even after I was admitted, I was scared to death that I would mt last out the six months pro- bation which new residents, then as now, had to pass"
 At Hull House, Mrs. Rich met her future husband. Kenneth F. Rich, a young stock-broker whose aunt was one of Jane Addams' early associates. After their mar riage, the Riches set up house. keeping in the Hull House apart ments, a special building set aside for couples wishing to combine the inspiration of settlement life with a normal welded existence Their residence there naturally kept the new Mrs. Rich in touch with what was going on in the house, for one of the requisites to tenancy was and is the leisure time participation of tepants in its activities.
 For a time Mrs. Rich acted as Miss Addams' secretary. Later she directed the evening ano young peoples clubs. And when her professional attention began to focus sharply upon the work ot the Immigrants Protective League of which she now is the director she became Hull Houses official ambassadress in all matters per- taining to the foreign-born.
 Once she gets her administra- tive work organized she plans to divide her time fifty-fifty between Hull House and the Immigrants Protective League.
 Born to Life of Ease
 Young Adena Miller of Erie, Pennsylvania, hardly seemed des- tined for the dual task she is now setting herself. She was born in the comfortable house there that her grandfather built and in which her father, a practicing attorney of Erie, and her mother, one of the organ izers of the Ladies Shakespeare Club still live. All her young life she had what might easily have become a fatal handicap for the career she elected: Ease and leisure.
 Following her graduation from the Erie high school, she entered Oberlin College in Ohio, where, in 1911, she won an A.B. degree and Phi Beta Kappa key.
 Mrs. Rich is not quite sure what first turned her thoughts serious ly toward social welfare unless, perhaps, it was the studies she took in college - chiefly economics and sociologoy and ethics. Never theless she is very certain that the fellowship to the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy which she won her last year at Oberlin, is what headed her toward Hull House.
 After completing her graduate studies in social work, she be- came supervisors of visitors for the Immigrants Protective League which had its offices in Ameri- cas- oldest settlement. About the the same time she went there to live.
 During the years ensuing, Miss Miller or - as she shortly became Mrs. Rich filled 6 variety of po- sitions, including one with the Girls Protective bureau under the war department. For three years she acted as executive vice presi- dent of the Illinois League of Women Voters.
