swell to me, and they tell me it is quite accurate. I am merely tell ing readers VITO still have any con- fidence in my judgment, that I can't see what earthly use basal metalbolism test is to physician or patient. Even if a B.M. reading came with each wad of showing gum I wouldn't bother with it if chewed gum.
 The clinical technician further reports q have scouts everywhere, brothers) that in a meeting of a metropolitan dental society recent ly there was a hot discussion of the irksome habit of a certain health column conductor, calling dentists "dentors." Still, no one hold good dentistry in higher es- teem than I do, and never neglect an opportunity to warn others a. gainst monkeying with bargain den- tistry and the makeshifts of dental quacks.
 An eastern dental surgeon calls my attention to a filthy, unsanitary practice of many dentists, namely the improper use of waste receiv- CTS or receptacles at the chair Many dentists use the same recep- tacles for patient after patient plunging the waste carrying instru- ments into his highly infectious material and carrying the instru- ments into the mouth again. Every patient should have and is entitled to a sanitary or sterile receptacle, free from other patients Taste, at all times. Publicity about this dental surgeons opinion, do a great deal to prevent mouth in- lection and the spread of numer- ous diseases. Patients do not have to tolerate this malpractice.
 I am ashamed to say it who shouldn't, but to save me could not tell at this moment whether my own dentist-excuse the error, I mean my dentor-uses an in- dividual receptacle for each patient and I imagine I'd notice such things more readily than would the average patient. However, the sug- estion is certainly good one. The dental surgeon knows the impor- tance of asepsis, absolute cleanli- ness, and every physician, surgeon or dentor should take the same view.
 Now on second thought do re- call that my own dentor uses a re- ceptacle of combustib1e nature, so that when he finishes work the whole business is removed and a fresh one placed on the stand for the next patient.
 After all, dentors practice medi- cine. Dentistry is branch of me- dicine and surgery. Just where to draw the line between the proper field for the dentor and the field for the physician or surgeon, who can say?

 A little later, Mrs. Smith, a neighbor, asked, ''Billy, will you hunt Foster for me? He's not in sight and I'm worried. Tell him to come right home"
 Billy trudged about in the sun looking for the absent child. He covered about three blocks, and counting yards and houses at real ly was about ten. At last he pro- duced the wanderer, and by using glide plus force got the three-year- old home. Mrs. Smith was so re- lieved that she didn't thank Billy She just took Foster by the ear and led him inside for the inevitable. ''Where on earth have you been?" queried Billy's mother sharply. "we haven't a bite of bread in the house. Hurry now and get it. And take this bacon back. Tell MT. Miller I want it thin"
 | "He's always mean when take things back. You call hmi up and explain, won't you, mom? ?" Passing the Buck to Billy "I don't want his growing.

 .'What did you do?" Billy screwed up his face. He couldn't exactly remember, for living by the minute, as small children do, the distant past of an hour ago seldom lives to face them, or defend them. "Yes," his mother took up the battle, you scrub the garage, Bill. And when you are through, daddy wants those white pants pressed. Tell the tailor to hurry them up."

 By night Billy was as cranky as a crow. He fought and cried by spells. He didn't know him. self what was wrong with him, but he couldn't help it. He was mad at everything and every body.
 "You ought to be ashamed" !" said mother. ''If you can't be happy now, you never will be. Just wait till you grow up and have come real troubles. Here comes Mrs. Gordon. Now be sure you don't sit down as long as she's standing up.'
 Mrs. Gordon stayed half an hour. Billy tried to sneak off, but Mrs. Gordon had come to see about Billy's music, so he had to stay. She wouldn't sit down for she was saying she had to go.

SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS
 J0 DARIEN, finishing her first year in college, learns her father is ont of work. Jo hunts a job and secures part time work in
 marine supply store. There she meets wealthy, handsome DOUG LAS MARSH who offers her the job of hostess at his inn at Crest Lake. Jo accepts. This causes a quarrel with BRET PAUL to whom she is engaged and JO breaks the engagement.
 She goes to Crest Lake. Her duties are pleasant but Marsh's eccentric mother takes a dislike to the girl. BARS MONTGOM- ERY, a school acquaintance who is jealous of Jos popularity comes to the inn. PETER FRA COMET, film actor, and his wife are also guests.
 Fragonct takes Jo for a Sail- boat ride. Babs Montgomery. piloting Q speedboat, crashes into the Sailboat and Jo Is hurled into the water. She is not injured but suffers from shock. Marsh comes to SC cher and later FragOnet calls.
 CHAPTER XVII
 "The nurse has taken your tray downstairs, Fragonet replied. He gripped the girls arm in a hand that trembled. "Jo-Pm a fool to try to talk to you like this when you're ill. But I'm trying to make you see how important it Is. want you enough to give up everything" He released her arm, seemed to control his emotion with effort, and then went on more quietly. You must feel something toward me. Out there on the lake that day you said you didn't know for certain. Do you know now?"
 Jo felt trapped and helpless. She realized that his advantage was un- fair, that even his simple question was unfair-as long as there was. a Mrs. Fragonet. And yet she felt drawn toward this man, not be- cause of his place in a world of women, but rather because he was so like willful child. She sensed rather than knew the tragedy of such a life, a life made up of so many easy conquests that one bar rier meant almost madness.
 Mo-, he had no right, none in the world-but he was in love with her, and he had risked his life for her. Whatever else there was to consider, these things couldn't be discounted now.
 She loked half-fearfully into his dark eyes, summoning the courage to begin. II like you, Peter :. but I don't want to say that I love you, because I-I don't know" She smiled. You see, I have to be careful. I thought I was in love once, not so very long ago. It seemed the most important thing in the word that I hold to a cer- tain one man, and marry him, and live with him until I died. And then one night with just few words-everything was finished. Bue keep on living, and I don't think about him very much now. And what I feel for you isn't at all what I felt for Bret Paul."
 .How do you know that was lover" Fragonet asked. "You were girl then, and now you're wo- man. I've watched you grow into a woman in the short time I've been at Crest Lake. You're years older now than you weres that. day we rode from the station in Marsh's car. You can't be sure at all that you loved this boy at the ,univer- sity."
 T know I can't, Peter. That's true. And may not know for a long time."

Darien? I'm afraid it is you who must listen to me. Perhaps you think you've done it at last, but you're wrong. You'll get nothing. l Nothing at all out of this, do you hear? And I'll drag your name l into every newspaper from here to Hollywood!"
 I The door of the bedroom slammed shut with a resounding crash and Jo closed her eyes tight against sudden, throbbing pain at the back of her neck. But only one thought was in her mind now Ito make Edna Fragonet listen, to make her understand.
 "I've got to talk to her," Jo said aloud. i've gto to make them all listen to me
 She stumbled from the bed, rushed headlong toward the closet where her dressing robe was hang ing. The room seemed to whirl madly, and the floor seemed to lift and sink in waves beneath her feet, but Jo knew only that she must get down the hall to Edna Frago- nets room. She must make her see the truth, make her tell that truth to Mrs. Marsh and her son. How Jo reached the outer door she never knew, but suddenly she was in the half-light of the hall way. And then the hallway be- came darker and darker still, and the carpeting lifted obliquely in a long green flash to strike her hard across the cheek.
 All at once, despite the throbbing of her head and the new pain where her cheek had struck the floor, Jo felt terribly weary. She raised her head once, then let it fall gently against her arm. She thought oddly that it was too cold to be sleeping there in the hallway with only her thin pajamas and her robe over her. She thought crazily that she must sleep close to the wall so as not to disturb any, one who might want to pass that way. And then a swift curtain dropped before her eyes.
 Mrs. Marsh encountered Nurse Conley in the lobby as the lat ter was returning to Jos room.
 You won't be needed any more by Miss Darien," the old lady in- formed her curtly.
 Miss ,Conley's eyes widened in Iastonishment. But r."
 Those are my orders, Miss Con- ley"
 The nurse hesitated moment, and then replied, ''Very well, Mrs Marsh. I'll take my things from the room."
 "I've instructed one of the boys to bring them to you, Miss Conley You might drop in at the Davis lcottage. Mrs. Davis was complain- ing of slight cold last night"
 "Yes, Mrs. Marsh"
 The nurse fought moment be- ltween her sense of duty and her desire to keep a pleasant and lucra- ltive place at Crest Lake. Perhaps lthe former would have won, for lit was really strong in Miss Con- Hey, had not Mrs. Marsh left her so imperiously.
 When Douglas Marsh met his mother on the wide veranda of the Inn he knew at once that some thing was up. He was not long in finding out just what that some- lthing was.
 "You simply must let Miss Darien go at once, Douglas" his lmother said. "Perhaps tho others lwiii stand 1t a few days longer, but ahant."
 "Why what's wrong?" | In dlroct fashion Mrs, Marsh told him. She told him, too, how she had seon Todd baraton and J0 com, ling out of her room on the eves ning 0f the dance.

Housing Hints Tips on How and What
 to Improve
Septic Tanks

Although the method of dispos- ing of sewage by means of pro- perly designed septic tank is ap- proved by health authorities, the discharge should not be considered harmless. Under certain conditions it will contaminate a well, stream. or other source of water supply. Care should be taken to place the discharge of the tank where there is no danger of such contamination.

 The prospective home builder should thoroughly investigate the termite situation and methods of protection. In some districts inc fested with these pests special types of construction must be used, and the home builder should see that his house is built of one of the many terinite-proof types.

Colorinr Stucco

Exterior stucco walls may be made more interesting by the addi- tion of color. The modern houses which depend on the relation of the various masses, window openings, and wall spaces, rather than ap- piled decorations. are well adapted to the use of simple solid-color treatments. Only pigments spe- cially prepared for this use should be used. The tints can be varied by using different proportions of the same pigment or by the addi- tion of white cement. Be sure to make tests and permit the colors to dry thoroughly, for they will be much darker when the concrete is wet and will tend to tighten with age.

NRAPLANS
President Rejects All Ideas
Offered Thus Far, Afraid
They Will Prove Invalid
BY EARL GOODWIN

With all the constitutional eX.
pertS in the government studying
a way to get around the Supreme
Courts NRA decision, the Presi-
dent has not yet found plan
which he dares trust with the
High Court.
This was learned authoritatively
today at the White House. 1t
dashes cold water on the ambi-
tious plans of several Of the lead
ers of Congress to get around the
MIRA decision by a law in which
Congress defines the power of
Congress to deal with interstate
commerce.
It is understood that out Of
nearly 40 of the Presidents ad-
visers, not one has produced a
plan which the majority of the
government legal lights will &C
cept and the President is reported
as being as far away from pro
posed new NRA law as he was the
moment he received the news
from the court.
johnson Has Plan
Among those who have offered
what they believe to be constitu-
tional legislation are General
Hugh Johnson and Senator OMa-
honey of Wyoming, Senator Borah
of Idaho, also has been reported as
having a way out" but he has
not presented it at the White
House.
It was learned at the White
House today also that none of the
Presidents advisers had presented
a plan for constitutional amend
ment under which the President
would have powers similar to those
exercised with the NRA up to last
week.
Purchases Go On
The White House sticks by the
statement that the Governments
purchases amount to only l per
cent of the entire production OF
the country. The Government
purchasing agents have been in,
structed to carry on as usual and
not to await cheaper prices which
may result from Scrapping the
NRA codes.

TACOMA. Wa h., june 5
GN.SD The kidnapers OF George
Weyerhaeuser are known to law
enforcement officials.
Once they are caught. the 9-year-
old son of j. P. and Helen Weyer-
haeuSer will be able to identity
them, adding positive and direct
evidence to the mass of clrcum-
stantial testimony which his amaZ-
ing powers of observation already
have piled against them.
The gang consists of five to
eight men. most of whom are eX-
convicts, and who we're assisted in
their plotting by an international
bunco man now doing a term OF
years in State institution. Other
wise, it is wholly local organiza-
ton, composed of desperate men
with many eastern gangland con-
nections. Two or more are former
bootleggerS.

least half dozen sources in law

Department of Justice special
agents had been rushed to Hunt

allegedly originating from T. c.
Hunter, Union Pacific station
agent there, that a $40 kidnap
bill No. L12129816A had been
passed there Sunday night by a
man who had purchased ticket
for Salt Lake.
While this was happening,
squads of Department of Justice
agents with members of State po-
lice were conducting a search OF
the State which literally combed
its hideaway country.
They were seeking two large
holes in the ground and a two
story shack where the boy might
have been held captive. The
house was near a railroad where
trains went by at the rate of at
least five a day. Statements that
this house had been found appear
to be without foundation.

Labor Committee
ReviSeS Wagner Bill
International News Service

The House Labor Committee
today approved amendments to
the Wagner labor disputes bill de-
signed to strengthen it's chances
in the Supreme Court.
The amendments, which were
drawn by Senator Wagner CDD
of New York, contained an elabo-
rate statement of policy to the
effect that inequality of bargain
ing power between employees and
employers burdens and obstructs
the flow of interstate commerce.
The House committee spurned
proposals that the bill be amended
to prohibit labor unions, as well
as employers, from coercing work
ers, either to join or to refrain
from joining a union.
Chairman Connery CD of
Massachusetts,, of the labor COM
mittee, said:
THAT amendment would kill
the Wagner bill if it should be
put in the bill on the floor of
the House, our committee will
advise labor to abandon the bill.
We wouldn't even consider such
an amendment"
Stating that President Roose-
welt is strongly backing the Wag-
ner labor disputes bill. Mr.. Con-
merry said a fight would be made
for early action in the House. The
bill has passed the Senate.
