his eyes take on look ot grim de. seemed as though her life force was congeallng inside of her like mercury dropping in a tube on q very cold night. Then. with the sound of his voice, she felt a surge Of happiness. He said doggedly "I don't care what the facts are Whatever you did you had some reason for doing it. I'm going to stond back of you"
 
 That made it wonderfully easy. She poured forth her story in quick. disjoined sentences. not sparing herself for what she called her stupidity in running away from the scene of the crime. Then she went on. telling him exactly what had happend that night when she had gone to the garage, taken Bob Caise's car and gone for the wild | ride which terminated when she ran out of gas.
 When she had finished Norman Happ moved nearer. He said, You poor kid"'
 Before she realized what had happened his arms were around her and she was sobbing on his shoulder, sobs which seemed to drain wory and mental anguish from her system.
 His hand patted her shoulder. his cheek was against her hair. She could feel the roughness of his coat sleeve where 1t circled the back of her neck.
 Yet he made no attempt to hold her in a closer embrace. It was as though he realized the necessity for her to relax completely. to feel that someone understood all her troubles.
 Slowly her sob ceased. She drew back so that she could look up into his face. She smiled at him with eyes that were dimmed by tears but which nevertheless sparkled with new-found happiness.
 Poor kid" he said again, and patted her shoulder. You've had q tough time"
 q guess" she said. "it was more of strain than I realized. l don't usually make a cry-baby of my self"
 She could see his resentment of this criticism of herself. He said impatiently. You're not cry baby and you're not to call your self one. You've been through things few girls could have en- dtsred. You've been able to do it because you're such q clean, sweet, square shooting kid
 For moment she saw the gleam of affection in his eyes. She found herself hoping he was going to take her in his arms again. But in- stead there came over his face look of grim determination.
 Look here" he said. i've have to beat everyone to it."
 What do you mean?'
 ''I mean we have to solve both of these murders before the police find out about you"
 'Oh. but they've already found out about me--or they will
 What makes you say that?'
 Bob Caise knows"
 She saw swift jealousy on his face and made haste to interrupt his thoughts"
 No. no. I didn't tell him. I haven't admitted it even yet, but he knows. He was suspicious of

Answer-No. Saltpeter (niter potassium nitrate) is used not as a preservative but as indirect color- ing-it retains and accentuates the red color of fresh meat, in the corned or pickled product. It Is harmless. There is no ground for the legend which gullible folk as- sociate with saltpeter. It has no appreciable effect on the body.

 That used to be a problem i'm deed. But it need not be, any longer. For lately there have come on the market line of inexpen- sive and attractive little fixtures of the pin-it-up type.

 By their very design and place. ment, they place the light in back of one, and thus can't possibly glare into the eyes. Moreover, they shield the bulbs from the eyes of other people seated in the room.
 If you are using the open type of bookcases, placed at either end of the divan, or if the divan itself is so situated that end-tables can- not be used without interfering with the door springs and passage ways, these little pin-it-up fixtures will prove a very happy and con- venient solution to the problem.

EEYOUR CHILDREN

"The children just adore. goini to their fathers store." gurgle' young Mrs Brown. "Everybod! treats them SO beautifully. Tn clerks can't do enough for them It is really thrilling.
 That was one side of the story Miss Clark at the ribbon counte put 1t like this: Every time see those brats coming see red mean. They rip the store t' pieces, dive behind counters ant stick up the place like nobody business.
 First stop is the candy coun ter, and from then on we mol and try to save our dresses an, our jobs. There's J. C., with hil desk on the balcony righ ovei our heads, and = well, you know how 1t Is. We have to eat"
 Can't you just see Dolly ant Dan as they descend on theii prey? One bright young lad, calling, Hello there. Danny that's a grand new coat" An. other saying to Dolly, My, yoni hairs cute. Come here, Florence and look at Doily's hair. bel that's a permanent, isn't 1t, Dolly You look perfectly swell"
 Children Arc at Disadvantage
 Not that there aren't many children in like position entitled to sincere praise, but this case of Dolly and Dan (who lived III sizable town I used to know) # typical of a large group of youn' sters whose fathers, not neces- sarily merchants, are important enough to place their offspring al a disadvantage.
 Disadvantage" is putting il mildly. We should pity rather than censure such children. The boss's child is in danger of grow ing up surrounded by those who feel compelled to excuse him and approve anything he does. He lives on unearned adulation and may misconceive his own omport- ance.
 Be happy. good parents, that you can open the paper each day without certainty that there will be a picture of your darling or a snip of his daily doing. have no doubt that many wife of a fa- nous man. or a mother famous in her own right, hastily conceals each bit of publicity and whispers to her household, Don't let lit tie Charles see this"
 Ventures In Public Are Bad
 One day recently a mother said tome, I'm not going to take Lenny anywhere again. It takes me a week to knock the conccit out of him after a shopping trip"
 And Lenny Is just plain gar den-variety of little boy whose parents are merely as you and I.
 It all goes to show that the chl- dren of celebrities have less chance for normal development than the others. They are in danger of becoming self-conscious and self righteous, unless strictly guarded, and that is fatal to natural and graceful growth. Don't envy either the famous or their children. The chances are better for your chill dren becoming famous themselves some day in their own right. Copyright, 1895, NEA Service. Inc)

 Steam heat and hats are two of the greatest enemies of healthy hair. If you doubt this, you have only to compare the scalp condi- tions of women who live in the country and go bare-headed Q good deal of the time with those of city women who constantly wear hats and live fin apartments where there Is no moisture in the air.
 Furthermore, drying machines are none too good for hair. Of course, for reasons of time and convenience, nearly everyone has to submit to them. But not after every shampoo. It's really an ex- cellent idea to have your finger wave dried by a gas or electric machine one week and by sum- shine and air the next. Ask your operator to use plain water inc stead of wave-set lotion when she puts your waves in place. This way you'll have to spend less time under the dryer.
 Try Hand Drying
 If you have marcels instead of finger-waves, there's no need for you ever to have artificial heat on your shining locks. Insist on hand drying. It doesn't take long and really is much better for your scalp. The same applies to won- en who wear their hair straight.
 If you have dandruff. better get a tonic immediately and use it every night. It can be applied. you know, without disturbing any kind of wave. Simply dip your fingers in the liquid, place them flat against your scalp and mas sage, circular fashion, until the tonic is absorbed. Keep on until the root of each and every hair has been moistened and stimu- lated.
 Meanwhile = and this applies particularly to persons with dam druff-be sure to wash and ster- ilize your hairbrush and combs each night before you go to bed.

 CHAPTER xxx
 Miilicent piloted Norman Happ down the corridor to her room, closed and locked the door She turned to face him, wondering where she should begin. and as she stared into his eyes knew that it was going to be increasingly difil- cult to go through with the plan she had decided on.
 She realized that she valued the good opinion of this man very much, and she realized also that it was almost impossible for her to make an explanation which would be credible. The words of Robert Caise rang in her mind. She could explain away the facts connected with one murder, but how could she explain away facts connected with two?
 Norman Happ saw something of what was going on in her mind. "ls 1t going to be hard to tell?" he asked.
 ! And, with his question, she real ized suddenly that she was going to tell him everything, that she was in such a hurry to know his reac- tions that she could hardly wait for the words to formulate them selves.

Sister Mary:S Kitchen
BY MARY E. DAGUE

Easter dinner, thank goodness, has fewer traditions than most festal occasions to live up to. so the busy housewife may plan dishes that may be done in part the day before. That insures leisure for church on Easter morning.
 Lamb, veal chicken or duck offer good variety of meats to choose from at this time of year. Any one of them may be prepared for roasting on Saturday and tucked into the oven just before leaving for church.
 My first choice of meat for tho Easter dinner is roast leg of lamb. And here's the dinner.

the ice-box until wanted for serv- ing.
 Finishing the Meal
 The leg of lamb is put into a moderate oven (375 degrees FL before going to church and unless it is unusually large it will be done to a turn in two or three hours. If, when you get home from church, the roast is too far along for the rest of the dinner, lower the temperature to 325 de- grees F. Remember though, that the peas and potatoes will cook in thirty minutes.
 The mint jelly is made the day before and so is the ice-box cake.
 wash my salad greens and put them in the refrigerator to crisp as soon as they come from the mar ket. Then when I'm ready to make the salad the greens are ready, too.

Mussolini's dictatorship. A new gov
ernment In Italy would have all the
problems 1t could handle without
waging q war in Africa and 1t would
permit the League to draft q peace
treaty. Thereby the League, by
long process, would have won the
battle.
This is the thought and plan ad-
vanced by the permanent staf Of en-
ployes Of the League. 1t seems far
fetched and the cart seems to be pull
ing the horse. Nevertheless 1t Is worth
consideration and would undoubtedly
be an advance over the peace efforts
of previous centuries.
Such are the possibilities advanced
in Geneva, peace center Of the world
The actual negotiations are still In
the stage where Italy Is endeavoring
to becloud and confuse the issues. The
Italian government has now demanded
the expulsion of an Ethiopian delegate
for "impolite speech" and thus an
other red herring is dragged along the

The waters are thoroughly muddied
and beneath them Italy continues her

Many statesmen have now turned
their attention to the problems which
will arise during war, in contrast

This, said France at the time, was

q revolution in which France encour-

to the throne Most other nations
have at one time or another done the

Fortunately for Italy, Ethiopia is
full of potential Kings Of Kings.

cation can ask, why Is the League
concerned, since no aggression has
taken place."

There was a revolution in Ethiopia
and the new Emperor is favorable to
Italy"
Small Nations Fearful.
That is, of course. the ideal devel-
opment from the Italian viewpoint.
1t probably will not work. however. for
two reasons. First, the small nations
In the League are worried and will do
everything they can think of to place
chains of restraint on Mussolini. They
are not much worried about Ethiopia
but fear they may be next in line as
food for the Italian kitty.
Second, in spite Of their poor arma-
ment, their lack of training and their
destitution, the EthiopianS in their
own manner of warfare are expected
to delay the arrival of Mussolini in
Adds Ababa at least two years.
Should this development be the decree
of fate, comparatively long and
bitter war would be conducted. The
Italians would find it necessary as a
| tactical matter to establish a war
zone and to blocade Ethiopia. In ac-
cordance with the rules of war, Italy
would have the right to search neutral
ships carrying consignments of goods

cargo.

choice with which his majesty's gov

be whether it is better to permit

with Italy.
The United States would be in the

The attitude Of the League as an

manner in which that conclusion Is
reached:
Because of the technical obstacles to
