door he said, "Send in Hagan." Af- ter moment, Sergeant Hagan came in and took a seat beside the inspec- tor.
 "Now then" said Inspector Thomas.
 This holdup," Montague went on, "as I understand it, took place Friday afternoon about quarter past three, on Ontario road few blocks from the Acme plant?" The two policemen nodded. Montague turned to Jean with 8 fatherly smile.
 This is Miss Jean Dunn, who works in my offlce," he said. Miss Dunn, will you please tell these gentlemen what you did Friday afternoon?"
 Jean looked at the noncommittal faces of Thomas and Hagan, felt a little wave of nervousness, swal- lowed hard, and then spoke:
 Someone came to see MT. Mon- tague a little after two that after noon," she said, "and MT. Montague told me that I could have the rest of the day off. So started to go home, and downstairs in the lobby I met MT. Harkins. We got into his car and drove out to a place on the Grand river and rented a canoe We padded up the river for a while, and then drifted back. It was getting on toward dusk when we got back to the boat house. Then we had dinner at a little res- taurant there, and after that MT. Harkins drove me hom. We got home about 8 o'clock, guess, or a little later"
 She did not realize that, of all possible witnesses, she was the most impressive in a case of this kind. Dressed in her riding clothes -jodhpurs, silk shirt and boots, with a silk scarf about her hair - she stood out, in this dingy, police office, like an orchid in a barnyard. She was so obviously an intelligent and honorable young person that it was impossible to doubt her story for moment. The two policemen were visibly impressed.

!" 6 This is one of the deepest questions in all science.

Two Yale psychologists, Hartshorne end May, concluded this was main 1y true after measuring the traits of intelligence, lying, cheating, stealing. cooperativeness and will power in sibs. Two other psycholo- gists, Koch and Stroud, however, found that of two sibs of equal in- telligence one might be an extrovert and one an introvert-so these traits seemed to be acquired. Recently two other psychologists, Pintner and Yorlano made some studies that rather supported Hartshorne and May.

IFurless Coat Gets Parisian Approval
Cloth Garment Is Held Better Than One With
 Poor Felt Trimming
By JEAN PATOU written for NEA Service

DARIS.-Although fur trimmings are used \ lavishly this fall, woman need not worry just because her coat is furless. As matter of fact, on a good many new models have used furs merely to underline a fea- ture of cut and as contrast to the fabric instead of as sumptuous trimming note. And itcertainly is more fashionable to wear a good coat without fur than one decorated with cheap belts.
 The winter day coat silhouette is definitely stylized this season, stressing wide and rounded shoulders, an easy-ftting bustline, form-fitted hips and nearly always completed by belt of the same fabric. The lower DOT tion of the garment hangs straight, but never excessively narrow, thus accentuating the importance given to the top of the sil- houette.
 Flat Trimmings Are Outmoded
 Fur collars either hug the neck or favor the shawl cut in contrast to the flat trim mings of last winter. When used, the fur trimming is almost always repeated on the sleeve, sometimes forming the lower half of or, in the more formal models, the entire, sleeve.
 Silver and sable-dyed fox and broadtail still retain their position as smart trim mings, but have used almost as much gold en and black seal and 9 fine quality of astra- khan, often to achieve novel effect easier to carry out in shirt-haired belts.

 well, doggone it," he began; then he dropped his light, banter ing air and became intensely seri- ous. Heedless of the other diners, he leaned closer toward her and said softly, "Jean, I worship the air you breathe. I want to marry you and care for you and live for you and spend all the rest of my life trying to make you happy"
 His youthful earnestness, the whole-souled affection that lit his face - that face she had known since earliest childhood brought 8 wave of tenderness into Jeans breast :. and she suddenly, to her utter amazement, found her. self thinking: Dear Bobbyl I'd marry you in 8 minute if it weren't for Sandyi

but she has to be chosen for that. Nursing is fine alternative for the young woman who is fit but not fated for motherhood. This does not imply that there is any dearth of marriage material in the nursing business; on the contrary these wo- men are practically the only class of women with education and train ing which prepares them for motherhood. Something sublime in a wonan's nature accounts for the fact that she is a nurse.
 Then put down another 10% of 1t against the romance and glamour which surrounds the hospital train ing of nurses. If this incentive is infinitesimal in some instances, no need to get indignant about it, for 1t is surely 8 considerable factor in many instances, and perhaps for- tunately so, for without the senti- mental influence nursing would be 8 forbidding career indeed.
 Finally charge 30 or 35 per cent of it to the lure of the training school, which is conducted by every large hospital. The nurse training school offers special education, pro- fessional or technical training, plus free maintenance for the student while training. No years of tuition. no board bill to pay, no expensive clothes to buy, no sorority skuldug- gery to contend with,' and rosy prospect of job when the school course is finished.
 After the intelligent vigorous, healthy young woman enters upon training. she finds that the hours of work are long, the work largely sheer drudgery, and often her duties expose her to the gravest risk of contracting disease which may ini- capacitate her for life. For exam pie, consider the terrible price all those young nurses in Los Angeles are paying, courageous and faith full women who were stricken with infantile paralysis while nursing victims of the disease-and never a move or 8 thought on the part of the wretched public to pension them If they were policemen or soldiers disabled in line of duty they would be properly compensated. But who cares about he fate of mere nurses?
 I should advise any young woman who contemplates the study of nurs- ing to think twice. The hospital training courses are usually three years. Two years to train the nurse -then one year of her professional service free to the hospital. It is a great racket for the hospital, but a sad exploitation of womanhood nevertheless.

 Answer-I think eye exercises other than the exercise involved in the normal use of your eyes, or eye wash. .In myopia (near-sightedness) what the eyes need is REST - they are dangerously OVERWORKED if you try to get along without prop erly fitted glasses. Let your oculist fit the glasses while your eyes are completely at REST under drops, and wear the glasses for all near york if you wish to conserve the best possible eyesight.

Nothing makes me so angry as to hear snug girl of sixteen call her mother old-fashioned. Or a youth too young to shave call his father an old fogy. Young people today have a habit of thinking that anyone born in or previous to 1900 lived in the dark ages before civili- ration began.
 I'm not referring to the usual old bromide about youth and old age; everyone knows that sixteen he thought his own parents ancient. That's easy to understand.
 It is, rather, the misconception about the "slowness" of living when poor mother and dad were young, and the hangover of such sad days that now cramps their style, the idea of by-gone chaperones, dry par- ties and no cars-incredible to to- days children.

 How Times Had Changed
 AS they made their way out, the lady began to notice the empty flasks lying about. By the time they had reached the stadium gate she was shocked beyond belief. She and her husband had been football fans at the turn of the century, but not once in the old days could she recall seeing so much as beer bot tie after game.
 "If Bill had been with his crowd he'd have been drinking" she thought. Hes just at the age when he wants to be smart. Poor Billy. What chance does a boy have to- day? Parents have no influence against all this."
 She also interested herself in two or three places where Mary and her friends often drove for a few rounds of dancing. "Just the school crowd, half of them neighbors," she had complacently assured herself.

CHAPTER XIII


 Jean Dunn sat down on the bench and looked doubtfully at her employer. But of coursel He was Sandy's lawyer; naturally, since Sandy wanted to clear up this absurd misunderstanding. MT. Mon- tague had come along, just to make sure everything went right.
 She rather wished that he hadn't come, though, It made it all seem a little too-she frowned-too busi- ness-like, somehow, Before she saw MT. Montague, coming down here with Sandy had seemed rather like a lark. Now, for some reason, that feeling had vanished.
 This emotion was not evident, however, when she replied to MT. Montague's question. z "Yes," Jean said, "isnt it lucky that Sandy happened to be with me that day?"
 MT. Montague beamed at her.
 'Tt's all pretty absurd, of course" |" he said. But sometimes these ab- surd mistakes can cause a great deal of trouble before they are strengthened out An, there's Inspector Thomas. Shall we go in?"
 He got up and walked through swinging gate in the waist-high railing which cut the room in half. Sandy helped Jean to her feet, drew her hand through his arm, and followed: behind them came the other man who had been sit- ting with MT. Montague when they came in. Jean stole a look at him; he was a stubby, roughly-dressed person, and he hadn't taken the trouble to save himself that morn- ing. His face was vaguely familiar.
 They passed half dozen desks, where shirt-sleeved men were busy with letters and sheafs of paper, and went into 8 small office. There was 8 battered roll-top desk over by 8 smudgy window, and back of it sat a tall, lantern-pawed man in a gray suit. He nodded to Mir Montague as they came in, and ges- trred toward chairs.
 "Well, MT. Montague, what's this all about?" he asked in a friendly tone. MT. Montague sat down, laid his gray felt hat on his knees, and assumed an air of complete frank ness.
 "Just a little misunderstanding Inspector" he said. q want to clear it up before it gets serious. This young man here - he mo- tioned toward Sandy - seems to bear a facial resemblance to man who is being sought for that Acme Box Company robbery last week. Since it just happens that he was a good IS miles away from the place when the robbery took place, I thought it would be wise to come in and tell you about it. Then he won't be bothered about it any further"
 'Hmm," said Inspector Thomas. He looked at some papers, frowned, and said: DO you mind if have Sergeant Hagan in here while we talk? He's more familiar with the details of the case than I am."

NURSING IS A DREARY CAREET

NURSING IS A DREARY CAREER
 In 1890 there was one graduate trained nurse for every 424 persons in the population of the United States. Nursing is bit overcrowd- ed. Since 1900 the general p0pula- ton increased 62 per cent while the number of graduate trained nurses increased 2,374 per cent.
 Is this prodigious superfluity of nurses dueto 8 great demand for their services? Don't laugh, folks, thousands of nurses are suffering in dire want.
 Well, then, how come 50 many women are inveigled into this glori- fled slavery?
