after twelve when he got home. We
drove from his mothers place to his
house. How long do you think it took
us? Just ten minutes! The witness will
be here any minute"
Jim's faith in his own deductions -
and in Phil - wavered. Maybe the
Chief was right Maybe his eyes we're

the murderer's. But no, by heaven!

This wasn't it at all. She had been in

A Complete Success

The party that former National Com mitteeman Archibald McNeil Of Brloee- port "threw" for Governor Frank Murphy of Michigan last Saturday is still the talk of democratic circles in Connecticut. It was a complete social and political suc' cess. For that matter MT. McNeil has rarely. if ever, staged a political gather ing of any size or description that hasn't come up to snuff. The Fairfield County democrat has flair for this sort of thing and his ability to put one across has neV- CT been questioned.
 Democrats were present in large num- bers to greet Governor Murphy who IS very much in the national eye right now due to his prominence in industrial dis putes in his state throughout the last few months. The governor has been men, toned several times as presidential tim Der in 1940, which, of course, means little or nothing right now but might mean something two years from now. Connec- ticut democratic leaders were taking no chances and gave Gov Murphy good greeting ,
 As to MT. McNeil's part in the proceed ings, he was the good host throughout. There are those who eye his actions as ln- dicatve of desire to return to the po- litical wars. They find him angling TOT Senator Augustine Lonergans post Tn the Senate, which would involve not merely winning the nomination away from the Hartford legislator in 1888, put also defeating the republican or other party candidate. Others merely regard his interest as natural desire to be back in the swim" as he was when National Committeeman

Vanishing Blonds

It's going to be a dull world for the gentlemen who prefer blonds in 1888 and thereafter If Barbara Hoynihan, Ph. B., IS right. She made her discoveries as a result of study of the ancient Greeks and what happened to them. They were blond race at first, but gradually the irl- fiuence of the darker southern races was felt and the Greeks turned brunei. Fifty years ago, in this country she says, 25 per cent of the population was blond. To- day less than 12A per cent can be classed. Fifty years hence the blonds will be in even smaller proportion. Brunets will have very little competition.
 There may be scientific date bearing out all this. Probably Miss Moynihan has them in her doctors thesis But 1t seems to be matter of more than augmentation. Personality is somehow involved. Whether you are blond or brunei personality is learned not by looking at your hair and skin, but by asking a few leading and re. vealing questions, she says
 For example: Do you feel embarrassed or seif-conscious if walking alone under the bright lights of a dance floor? Ii you say yes your personality Is brunei. On tho other hand, you are blond personal Itv if you say yes to the question: When neW and drastic fashions come in, are you asnong the first to wear them? It looks ~ Al there would Dc lot of super-sily ana 'oWdy people around in fifty years.

The Low Cost House

Everybody talks about the low cost house but nobody builds 1t. Why? Be- cause nobody wants it. That seems to be the consensus of opinion among builders. Time was when man could build house for $1,500. Why cannot 1t be done now? It can be done, say the builders. But that house was she'll two or three rooms on one floor, maybe with low loft where things could be stored and children could sleep. That same house can be built for about that money today. But it will not have bathroom or running water and sink in the kitchen, or built-in ironing board or recreation room In the base ment. In fact, the old house had no basement nor any central heating.
 If the family looking for the low cost house could build the shell-the small four-room house with a minimum of plumbing, which is to say lavoratory and kitchen sink-and could, with that paid for, gradually add gadgets and space as income and family increased, good many thousands of people could live more comfortably than they do now. But an $8,000 house cannot be built for $2,5O0 no matter how carefully the material IS bought and assembled
