THE WHISPERING WINDOW. BY
Cortland Fitzsimmons. New York:
Frederick A. Stokes Co.
Miss Ethel Thomas. wealthy spinster
and social leader, is driven downtown by
her liveried chauffeur to attend an early
meeting of the governing body of large
department store. She is attending the
meeting only because Charlie Doane
recognizes her right to be party to
the deliberations. Having inherited a
business about which he knew very little
and in which he was not interested, he
had some years previously entered into
a deal with Miss Thomas whereby the
controlling interest in the Doane de-
partment store had been exchanged for
q sum of money large enough to enable
him to forget the business and live as
he pleased. AS the story opens he is
Just back from a long sojourn in the
South Seas. and Is surprised to learn
that the famous establishment which
he supposed to be as stable as the Rock
Of Gibralta is tottering on the brink of
ruin. Sales have fallen of, thieving on
a large scale is taking place almost
daily and the house is in the red.
The meeting is scheduled for few
pdSt Lllc OPCliAils doAAJ niiA <sAASo
Thomas arrives before the doors are
opened to admit milling crowd OF bar
gain seekers. Sales day at Doane's Is
an event. and to Miss Thomas the
sight is an experience, for she has never
before ventured into department store
on bargain day. The doors swing open
to the accompanying notes OF a blaring
band and the stampede Of the shoppers
begins Miss Thomas follows the tag
end of the crowd and fingers for a few
moments at the book counter. A scream
cuts across the hubbub OF the store and
Miss Thomas hurries along with a
clerk to the side room from which
the scream came to find herself being
introduced to first-rate case of murder.
Mrs. Briggs, longtime employe OF the
store, has been strangled to death while
sitting at the desk in her office. Miss
Oliver, her assistant, is lying unconscious
on the floor.
Unaware of the tragedy, busy shoppers
throng the aisles. The police arrive, and
heading the group Is Peter Conkling,
one-time traffic officer with whom Miss
Thomas has friendly acquaintance. She
pleads the privilege of helping to find
the criminal and he grants it. Question
ing of certain employees Is barely begun
when a second murder occurs right be-
fore the eyes Of the Investigators. A
third and finally fourth murder is
accomplished and two more attempted
before the long day, and an even longer
night, comes to an end and the criminal
walks into the trap set by Peter and
his elderly spinster amateur sleuth.
A busy department store affords a
good background for mystery story,
especially If the structure is equipped
with an all-around gallery. hidden stair
ways, q private elevator and trick
window which serves more than one
purpose. A bad marriage, cross-current
love affairs and q genuine romance con-
tribute q dash of flavor, and the per-
petual activity of the seventy -five-year-
old spinster is genuinely interesting If not
convincing. Cortland Fitzsimmons has
written better detective fiction than "The

CHARGE HENDERSON
MAN IN. FATALITY
T. H. Mcdonald Was Driver
of Lumber Truck That
Caused Death

T. H. Mcdonald, Of this city, is be-
ing held under $3.50 bond for his ap-
pearance at Granville county Febru-
airy term of Superior Court, Oxford
when he was declared to have been
negligent in leaving laden lumber
truck on the highway, which William
Oden Price and Lester Price, both of
Blackstone, Va, crashed into early
Monday morning, near Creedmoor al
most instantly killing William Price.
Lester Price was hurt about the
face.
The coroner's jury, summoned by
Coroner w. D. Bryan, Of Granv lie
county, declared the driver negligent
in leaving the truck partially parked
on the highway and without warning
lights.
Coroner Bryan stated that McDon-
aid, driving with his helper Edgar
Coghill, also of Henderson, had a tire
blowout about 1920 o'clock Sunday
night short distance from Creedmoor
on the Oxford-Durhan highway, and
the pair left the truck to return to
Henderson for a new tire. Mr.. Nc
Donald was stopped by officers as he
was proceeding back to the truck.
The Price: were meeting another
vehicle at the time of the crash, and
did not see the truck. Their Auto
mobile was partially demolished. II,

veto power.
1t is understood that the move to
abolish the gag" rule which both
houses imposed upon themselves at
the beginning of the special session by
the adoption Of the resolution limit
ing the session to consideration of
nothing but the unemployment insur-
ance bill, may come from two sources.
One such move may come from a
group interested in State College and
which wants to have a resolution in
troduced extending the expiration
date of a bill enacted by the 1885 Gen
eral Assembly permitting the college
to issue bonds to participate in any
possible PWA projects which might
be approved for the college. This act
expires January /, but this group
wants the date extended because of
the belief that one or more EVA pro-
jects for the college may soon be ap-
proved in Washington.
Another move to abrogate the "gag"
rule which this session of the assem-
bly, imposed upon itself may be made
by Senator L. L. Gravely, of Rocky
Mount. It is understood that Senator
Gravely has a I:ill he very greatly
wants to introduce in this session, at
fecting the Western North Carolina
Tubercular Sanatorium, now nearing
completion in Buncombe county, to
straighten out some tangles In the
original law passed in 1885, and of
which Senator Gravely was the au-
thor. 1t Is regarded as very doubtful
whether the assembly will agree to
consider either of these bills.

HEAT EXHAUSTION
DIR. w. D. Brown

Now that hot weather has ar
rived, it is we'll that we discuss
it's deleterious effect on the body
and means of preventing serious
injury. First of all heat ex-
haustion will not occur when heat
production and heat dissipation are
kept at a constant level. Heat in
the body is produced by bodily
activity. This means the more ac-
tive one is the more heat is pro-
duced from muscular action. An
excess of this produced heat is
thrown off by the skin, primarily,
through conduction, radiation, and
evaporation Of perspiration. When
the surrounding atmosphere is hot
ter than the normal temperature
of the body, conduction and radia-
ton are reversed and the body in
stead of being cooled is made hot
ter by this atmosphere. The only
important method of heat-loss
then is evaporation of perspiration.
To Withstand high temperatures,
one must perspire and the air
must be dry enough and in motion
enough to pick up this fluid from
the body surface thereby cooling
the body.
To prevent over-heating, work or
rest in as cool and as sun-protected
a place as possible. Eat lightly
and avoid meat which stimulates
heat production in the body. Drink
plenty of water so that perspira-
ton will be free. See that plenty
of salt is imbibed, as much is lost
through perspiration. Avoid alco-
holic drinks, as they disturb the
portion of the brain that controls
the blood circulation.
There have been many deaths
since this heat wave. Do not take
heat exhaustion lightly when it oc-
ours. See that the one so stricken
is removed to a cool, shady spot.
Call a physician to administer
necessary stimulants. Apply cool
water to the skin in streams to re-
duce the fever and to stimulate
the circulation of blood. Ice to
head is also Of value to relieve
various nervous manifestations.
The use of a hot bath is mentioned
only to be emphatically avoided as
it is paralyzing to surface blood
circulation.
