WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE

Rex Mundy, young American
mining engineer who had encOun-
tered Jean StrebOr and pair of
Russian guards in Shanghai
cafe. was knocked out in a fight
which followed the charge by
Jean that he had robbed her.
when he recovered consciousness
he found himself her prisoner
aboard q steamship that she and
her followers had hijacked In the
harDor. He learns that Jean Is
the daughter Of Michael StrebOr
reputedIy a pirate, but she claims
her father has been commission
TO wipe out a band Of Chinese

surrounded by the bandits and
needs help.

Steeger gave a low chuck.e.
Mundy, taking a last drag from his
cigarette, which he had been hold
ing shielded in his hand, flicked 1t
expertly to the floor below, where
the other was still dangling the
shoe in midair. The shoe thudded
downward. 1t crushed the last red
glow. Mundy tumbIed YEARLY on
to his bed.
1--WE may as we'll sleep while
we're alive to Sleep" he yawned.
They were summoned to the
bridge early the next morning. The
sea was calm and a coppery sun
reflected from 1t. The larger of the
two Russians was at the wheel His
shaggy head kept lowering toward
the compass. Several Chinese, tall
fellows with high-nosed Manchu
faces, were standing around.
Jean Strebor was working over
some charts. Her face was pale and
she looked as If she had been with
out sleep for many hours. She
looked up when Mundy entered,
closely followed by Al Steeger. A
trace Of color came into her cheeks.
Needed: a Pilot
so here you are, Mr.. Rex Mum
dy. Still an invalid, Ell? Well, If
you're too weak to work, perhaps
you'll help with some of your val
liable advice?"
She nodded toward the charts.
You captured number Of Off
GERS along with this ship, I under
stand" Mundy said. Whats the
matter with their advice?"
II don't trust them. I've been
able to do my own navigating up
to now, fortunately. But the rivers
ahead of U.s."
II shouldn't think the officers
would be likely to wreck their own
ship"
That isn't the question. We have
to get somewhere. We have to get
there fast" Her eyes, for all the
competence and pride they bespoke,
semed to be appealing to him,
Don't you see, every next second
may be too late. Every instant
Marshall Fang may be preparing to
close in. I've got to get that extra
ammunition to my father in time"

RACK in 1904, Einar Holboell,
Danish postal clerk, con-
ceived the idea of selling seals
to be attached to Christmas mail
and packages, the proceeds going
for much-needed hospital in
Copenhagen. The plan was sue
cessful, and it spread quickly to
other countries.
In the United States, in 1907,
Delaware first issued Christmas
seals. Annually thereafter, up to
1919. the American Red Cross
sold seals for use during the
Christmas season, and its emblem
appeared on each seal. In 1919,
both the Red Cross and the dou-
ble-barred cross Of the National
tuberculosis Association APP
peared on the seal, and since 1920
the sale Of these stickcrs has
been conducted by the latter or
ganization.
The beaming. bearded face of
Santa Claus first appeared on
such seals in 1912, and IL has been
the motif ever since. Although
this is the 3Oth year Of Christmas
seal sale in the United States.
there have been 81 different de-
signs. This is because there were
two types in 1907 and four in 1913.

Mabe regarded her for a. moment
"All right" Mabe said shortly
There's Mundy starting to &c
out. That hard-boiled runt with
him is AL Steeger. He'll be with us
If Mundy Is. I'll call them over.
The pair approached the two
women. Introductions were &C.
knowledged. Mundy declined an
invitation to sit down, however.
Sorry" he said crisply. "Al and
I have to be getting along"
"Cigarette!" Sue drawled sweetly.
Thanks" but have my own"
TRY one of these"
She arose in the pretense of Of
fering him light.
Plans Visit
I've something to tell you," she
breathed swiftly. "It's too danger
GUS to talk over here. Can I come
to your cabin?"
Mundy surveyed her coolly.
You probably will anyway" He
said 1t without changing the inflec-
ton of his voice. Give three short
raps and one long one. That's SO
I'll know it's you" He turned to go.
Three short and one long, he re-
peated.
The small steamship knitted
through the Chinese waters
throughout the day. The engines
throbbing endlessly on. the pacing
of guards, the humping Of rife
butts against the deck, the tense
haste in which commands were
executed, the knowledge that
enough explosives were stored
aboard to blow every one skyhigh
and the general uncertainty and
forebodding only added to the rest
less excitement.
Mundy and Steeger retired to
their cabin early. They we're under
parole not to attempt to COM
municate in any way with the shore
or any passing ship. The only light
was from the moon. Mundy, in
pajama trousers, dragged at a
cigarette. Steeger was perched per-
cariouSly on the edge of a chair,
Juggling at half-unlaced shoe.
They're certainly pushing this
boat" Steeger grunted. do you
think III reach Strebor with the
ammunition in time?"
Never can tell"
How d'you feel now, Chief? Not
any worse, are you?"
I'm o. K. thanks. Just a little
stiff. that's all"
You look like a sick mummy,
hobbling around in all those
bandages. Well, as long as you stay
an invalid she can't carry out her
threat and give you any dirty jobs
to do" Steeger chuckled. He gave
another yank at tn eshoe. Jaw, she
can't really be serious!"
That's what you think"
Just the same. I don't suppose
nobody can blame you for playing
safe when"
Three short raps and one long
sounded on the door. Steeger
stopped in the middle of the SEN
tence, his mouth open. He still
tried TO free his foot from the shoe
however.
"Sh-h-h-h-h,' Mundy whispered.
The shoe came free. Steeger
heaved a visabie sigh Of relief. He
started TO drop the shoe on the
floor. Mundy was able Just In time
to stop him. The signal knock was
repeated again, and then for the
third time. There was the muifled
sound Of some one going away.

ing smoke toward the ceiling. A
number of Europeans were scat
tered throughout the room, many
with liquor before them to which
they had helped themselves. Two
Chinese ate noisily with chopsticks.
Pirates armed with rifles lounged
in the doorways and could be seen
striding along the deck. No one
seemed to be paying any more at
tention to Mabe and her than was
to be expected under the circum-
stances.
Lets have it," Sue said tensely.
Here it is, simple and brief. This
Strebor dame, the white one who's
been giving all the orders, is the
daughter of Mike Strebor, the pi-
rate. There's plenty of people, in

This Strebor dame has a special

If she isn't very friendly. He's her

THIS WEEK asked me to go into the most
famous home in America and ascertain Just
what happens in the kitchen when 'the Queen
is in the parlor, eating bread and honey"
The scene is Pickfair, atop mountain in
Beverly Hills, where the head butler does not
even bat an eye-lash if Miss Pickford tele-
phones in the late afternoon to say that the
King and Queen of Siam, Prince George of
England, the Princess Vassili Romanoff,
Prince William of Sweden, Lord and Lady
Mountbatten, the Dowager Duchess of
Sutherland, Lady Mend! and the Duke and
Duchess of Alba will be guests at dinner.
When most of us would be having an
angina at such an announcement, Miss Pick
tord's major domo simply calls in his associ-
ates and explains, calmly, what is expected
Training, that is the answer, together with
Qet's not be silly a staff Of eighteen servants.
But when it comes to the cuisine, Mary
personally authorizes every menu. She be-
lieves that surprises in food may make
guest i'll, so she finds out, promptly, what
they eat at home. The Siam couple, educated
in Paris, could eat only French food. The
Duchess of Sutherland always dined simply
and, during her two months visit at Pickfair,
ate her breakfast each morning on the terrace.
Prince George breakfasted in his room from
standing tray.
But the dinner given for His Highness was
another matter. Royalty invite their own
guests, so the Prince summoned twelve per-
sons he believed would be interesting. And
Mary served both roast beef with Yorkshire
pudding "a tribute to the Prince, and roast

chicken to satisfy American palates. To
her surprise, the Prince enjoyed the chicken
and his guests ate the roast beef Both meat
dishes were brought in, shown to His High
ness and, at his nod of approval, taken to the
sideboard and carved from there, as is the
English custom.
But the nth degree of consideration for the
Evening star., 1936-05-31

comfort OF her guests, was reached when Mary
Pickford had wooden beds specially built for
the King and Queen of Siam. They cannot
sleep on our soft luxurious American beds,
and they use no mattresses whatever. So
Mary built their beds and she still has them.
She also has food recipes from every country

food she now sings: MY Menu Lies Over the
Ocean" Well, maybe - but we happen to
know OF some menus reposng at this minute
In the pocket of her little grey suit One is

cream

is posted on the inside of the cupboard door

system saves telephoning all over town for
ingredients required in various recipes - and
1t offers good suggestion to every home
maker whether she has many servants or does
her own cooking.
Here, sketchily, are few of Mary's ideas
on hospitality. The service, she says, should
be elaborate but food kept to a few courses.
And she nerer likes flowers crowded on a
breakfast tray - prefering, instead, to place
huge bouquets on small stands about the
bedroom.
AT formal parties she places a costumed
orchestra in the front hall But for informal
dinners the radio or Victrola plays, BEHIND
closed doors. This gives very pleasant effect
OF music being played in the distance and has
caused much favorable comment.

nobility. she employs another
method she lets them amuse
themselves. They are given a
car and chauffeur and told to
consider Pickfair their home.
Thus, the days are their own
to play, or rest. But the eve
nings are very gay. with formal
dinnersor small, chubby gather

ford thinks, is the height of
consideration as it does not
leave guests tagged at the end
of their visit.

is interesting to us: Fine peo-
pie - more genuine than one
would expect, living as they do
amid constant alteration. Their
tastes are really as simple as

ate an opportunity to be demo-
cratic. And don't forget this:

BUDAPEST R.-Gabor Csallany,

cumstances of "the kiss that lasted
centuries" has uncovered q new in
stance Of an enduring love.
On opening a prehistoric grave
near here the scientist found the

being about the mans waist. About
their necks was 4 valuable necklace

Csallany believed the couple, which
remained in the centuries-long en-
brace, belonged to q wealthy ruling
class. The man presumably was 4
warrior, for = horse and weapon were
buried with him. Nearby were skele-
tons Of servants.
Last year Csallany, director of the
museum Of County Csongrad, found
the skeletons Of . pair buried with
heads close together. in q kissing At

grave was at least 1900 years old.

Meanwhile. the department plans in

the workers in that field by publishing
as the 1886 year book q summary of
research in this important branch of
study.
We will attempt to sum up what has
been accomplished, weigh the prac-
tical results, appraise and criticize
them, pick out weak spots, and per-
haps suggest fruitful new possibilities.
The result, We hope, will not only be
Of great practical value but will have
a high educational value, since it will

two aspects of the same problem.
Science tells us, Tor example. how
and why our soil resources have been
wasted by many of the farm prac-
tees of the past. Economics tells
us that this waste cannot continue.
Then the job is to develop practical
program based on these findings.
Two Not Antagonistfc.
In the long run, the welfare of the
Nation depends on both economic and
scientific efficiency. The two are not
antagonistic.
At the present time, approximately
1000 of the departments $4,000
workers are scientists or technical
employees carrying on at least $500
specific lines of scientific research.
Their work not only affects the in
terests of 100000 to 100000 Amer
lean farm families; it also touches
every individual in the country in
one way or another. Yet, in 1885,
the total outlay for scientific research
has been a small part of the depart
ment's total expenditures.
To illustrate how and why all the
people are concerned in our work. I
would like to point out one classic
example. Many years ago Agricul-
ture Department scientists discovered,
after patient and prolonged investi-
cation, that a small insect. the cattle
tick, was the carrier of tick fever.
Opened Way for Other Workers.
This apparently was Of interest
only to the cattle industry. and it
did save it from near panic. How
ever, the discovery opened the way
for other research workers to track
down such deadly human diseases as
yellow fever, malaria, African sleep
ing sickness. Rocky Mountain spotted
fever and Magma, all Of which proved
to be carried by insects.
Such things are not uncommon in
scientific research, and often appar-
emily useless results, with further de-
velopment, result in new cure for
disease, a new industry, or improved
conditions for man. That is one of the
reasons I sometimes become irritated
when unthinking persons begrudge sci
entists the money spent on work
which may have no immediate appl-
cation.
Fortunately, last year Congress,
realizing and approaching such facts.
provided an annual appropriation for
use, in part. on pure research to ex-
tend mans knowledge about some of
the basic laws Of nature that are all
too little understood. That, we be-
heve, is q milestone marking the most
complete recognition we have yet had.
first, Of the prime necessity Of re-
search If We. are to make progress;
second, Of the fact that today one of
the major functions of government is
to carry on this research, wherever it
may lead, for the ultimate good of all
the people.
Some Of the broad fields in which
these funds will be spent are plant
