 CHAPTER XII
 Mtllicent stood staring at that Sateful typewritten note,, She had DO means of knowing who had sent 1t, nor could she tell whether the eteps she had freard in the corri- dor were those of man or a wo- snan. a@
 She wondered if Norman had cent her this message. Surely he was the only one who knew of Ser interest in the woman in the black ermine coat. But how about Jarvis Happ? Jarvis was very, very shrewd, and it was apparent that he knew more about what was going on in the house than he let on. Moreover, he, above ell others, knew of her connection with George Drimgold's murder.
 But how about Robert Caise? :? He, too, had surmised her secret. He, too, must know som eth.ng of the woman in black.
 Millicent shrugged her unclad realized that she was chilled. She ran to the closet, found a robe and flung it about her. She went to. the window and looked out.
 It was, she saw, commencing to rain. Drops were beating against the window and, as she looked, she saw the rain grow in intensity until, within few minutes, ris- ing wind was driving 1t in tor rents.
 She turned once more to study the note. Why had she been in- formed of the presence of the mysterious woman2 What was she supposed to do? Was 1t Jarvis Happ who had left the message and who had expected she would perhaps hunt up, the woman in the black ermine coat. accuse her directly of complicity In Drim- gohs murder?
 Millicent knew only one thing. No matter who had sent the note or what was expected of her. she was determined 10 try to find out something about that woman in black.
 Having reached this decision. MtIlicent Graves flung off her dressing gown and started dress hastily.

 The heat in the house was low, and the corridors felt chill and gloomy. A night light burned at one end of the corridor, giving siffficient illumination to enable her to see objects, although not as distinctly as would have been lun,ination.
 Now that she was in the cor rjdor, she realized the immensity ofs the house, realized something of- the nature of the task with which she was confronted. It was g0ing to be necessary for her to find a mysterious woman in a black ermine coat who was some where in the house.
 Where?
 She remembered Mrs Happ had proudly exhibited the suite which she occupied. and Millicent felt

THE OLD LADY ACROSS THE
 STREET

Eastern reader takes the pulpit today:
 want to tell you a story. Just about a year ago my hair was turning gray over the temples. De- dedly gray. And across the street from my home lived lady who was turning gray also. Her hair not the lady. She Is at least a year younger than I, maybe several years, I'm not certain. We are built on the same model. Not streamlined, but short and fat. We have been taken for sisters some times. And then saw your sug- gestion, either in your column or in your booklet Regeneration Regimen" to take an oidin ration I began taking it-a drop of iodin once Q week in a glass of water At the present time my hair has resumed its old color, dark brown where the general effect year ago was gray. now the effect is brown at the temples.
 Of courseI still have some gray hairs-Im nearly 50-but the diff ference is remarkable. Before got onto this iodin ration I'd part my hair several times to find where the gray showed the least. Now part my hair on either side. I noticed yesterday as my friend came across the street that her head Is covered with an iron gray mop. not only the temples, but all of her hair is quite gray. (Mrs k. o. D.
 If there is any food element which migh conceivably help to keep a person young and interested at time in life when one tends to grow dull and weary If not actually stale. that element is, I sincerely believe, iodin. What the lady writes about is iodine, but if you ob- stinate laymen can't learn to spell iodin correctly I'll do 1t for you.
 It Is just plain ordinary brown tincture of iodin, the familiar li- quid used for painting over bruises, sprains and the like and nowadays as first aid disinfectant for minor wounds. Generally tincture of io- dine is dispensed with a poison la bel on it, but If you's thinking of

1 ending 1t all I advise you to try some real poison, for tincture of iodin just makes a big fuss and leaves you more or less alive and ashamed of yourself. I think the
 old timers considered the poison
 label necessary to prevent people
 from mistaking tincture of iodin for beer. I believe suitable iodin ration

 hair but also postpones the hard ening of the arteries. That's all l but for heavens sake don't start any argument with me. If you don't like my medicine don't | care.

certain the woman she sought would be somewhere within that suite of rooms. Norman Happ had mentioned a maid, but so far Mil- licent had met no maid. When Norman had told her of the maid, Millicent had concluded that the woman must be absent, perhaps on leave. Had she returned?
 
 Throwing her shoulders back. giving her chin a. determined tilt, Millicent locked the door of her room and set off bravely down the corridor. She turned to the left, followed the corridor toward the place where she knew Mrs Happ's rooms were situated

ATTENTION GARDENERS

Any time is a GOOD TIME to set out trees, shrubs and hardy perennials BUT SPRING BED- DING PLANTS SHOULD NOT BE PLANTED BEFORE MAY. In an average season, the second week in May is the ideal time to set out such things as pansies, marigolds, and many other hardy annual plants, while dahlias should not be set out before the third week in May.
 JUNEAU FLORISTS have trees, shrubs, hardly perennials, bedding and vegetable plants ready for planting at the proper time, and these are almost entirely HOME GROWN. A sample of their pansy plants may be seen in the window of their store in the Shattuck Building. A count this morning April 25, revealed about one hun dred and seventy-five flats of an- nual bedding plants alone, besides vegetable plants and other stock, at their REENHOU USES ON GLACIER HIGHWAY.

 OF HER LIFE NOW

There's one young woman pas senger on the current trip of the Northwestern from Seattle who's having the time of her life-not that most of passengers on that vessel don't have the time of their lives. But this one, Miss Kathleen MacMahon, is having an especially fine time.
 It seems that Miss MacMahon came all the way from Honolulu, T. H; just to see Alaska.
 All her life-all of 21 years-she has wanted to see Uncle Sans northern Territory. And now, be- cause she has been granted an extra long vacation, she's fulfill ing that ambition. She's round- trip passenger.

Pitiful Experience
With "Harmless" Pistol

To the Editor of The Times:
have just overcome my anxiety
and my sufferings, the agony
went through for nights and
nights unable to sleep crying and
praying that my little boy shouln't
be manned. Three weeks ago his
playmates brought him bleeding
and fainting screaming, johnnie
has been shot," I don't know how
1 managed to control myself under
these circumstances and called
the doctor at once, who after do
ing the necessary for the ugly
wound gave him an injection
against tetanus and my boy is
still under treatment. You should
see his finger half severed and a
hole three-quarters of an inch
deep. All this happened with a
ascent pistol that shoots blank
cartridges supposedly SAFE FOR
ANYONE TO HANDLE.
I have been urged by many to
sue the company, but I am not
after their money. although I am
not rich and I have to borrow the
money to pay for all the expenses
mourning. I was to leave town the
first of July and I had to post
pone it. My purpose in writing
to you, is because The Washington
Times, as all Hearst papers have
been always in the vanguard of
every right, good and noble move
ment, so came to you to help me
to prevent this occurring to other
children.
Many children are in danger of
being MANNED or blinded with
these pistols. I want to appeal to
the parents through your papers
to do something to safeguard chill
dren against those pistols. All
parents in my neighborhood are
willing to back me in this. When
I think what could happen to my
child if he had a large one, shud-
der.
You are asking in your paper
dated June 28, VINO Sells This,
referring to one gangs arsenal.
Why wonder when different kinds
of firearms are in the reach of
any child? My boy told me IF I
had known it was dangerous.
Mother, I would not have bought
it, but The catalogue says: SAFE
TY MODEL, NO RISK TO YOUR
SELF OR ANYONE ELSE" Can
you inns gine such convincing
words when there is danger even
of being blinded? AS I am leaving
next month I want you to consider
my letter. I am asking you to do
something at once. My conscience,

my painful experience, to opening

Pet Editors Work
DrauUs Praise

To the Editor of The Times:
I am about to burst with indig-
nation at the wholly selfish views
of "One of Many Sufferers"
Why anyone should "pick on"
dog, who can't talk back, is be.
yond my comprehension. Are
dog owners supposed to do away
with their pets to please a few
and very few they are-who
seem to hate all animals?
Suppose he or she recalls a few
instances of dog heroism, faith
fitness and companionship.
OF course, some dogs are vicious,
but they are usually muzzled or
kept on leash, so what harm are
they? Perhaps there are times
when you, too, annoy others. So
perhaps, if you would look at
things with broader view, you
would enjoy life a little more. Try
shoes that fit better.
There are many who give
thanks to the Pet Editor in her
humane work. So I say More
Power to Her"

PEACE SOUGHT.
IN HEALTH ROW

ROCKVILLE, Md, July ia
definite move toward healing the
breach between the United States
Public Health Service and Mont
gomery county was taken by the
Board of County Commissioners
yesterday when it appointed two
of it's members to confer with
health officials.
On motion of Commissioner
Charles King, he and Commits
sioner Paul M. Coughlin were
appointed to seek a conference
with the health officials and at
tempt to regain the $500 annual
grant which the service with
drew early this year on failure
of the commissioners to appoint
a graduate engineer to the posi-
ton of county sanitary engineer.
The conference will be held next
week.
The Federal Health Service
withdrew it's lump-sum payment
to the county, as did Maryland
State Department of Health,
when the commissioners ap-
pointed Lawrence M. Tolson to
the position formerly held by
DR.. George Offutt shortly after
they took over the reins of
county government last January.
The board was warned when it
appointed Mr.. Tolson that failure
to appoint a graduate engineer
would result in cutting off Fed
eral funds.
The board also voted, at yes
terday's session, to discontinue it's
Thursday meeting during the re-
mainder of July and August.
1t was voted to indorSe the re-
quest of the Rockville Town
Council that the Maryland State
Roads Commission erect a safety
device at the grade crossing
where IA school children lost
their lives in a crash in April.
The device consists of an elastic
barrier which automatically
blocks the path of all vehicles
at the approach of a train. 1t
was demonstrated to the Rock
vile Town Council at its meeting
Wednesday night.
