2 Clue Club
Mysteries

"The Case of the Rusted
Room" and ''You Stand Ac-
cused." two Of the latest Clue
Club mysteries, present thrillers
in strikingly different avenues
Of approach.
In the "Rusted Room" John
Donovan introduces Johnny
Lamb, a detective who spends
all his working hours chasing
criminals and all Of his leisure
in scientific expansion. Johnny
soon comes to the point where
he is able to combine the two,
much to the distaste Of law
breakers who come to his atten-
ton. In this novel, Johnny is
called upon to solve the murder
of Samuel Wiseman, wealthy
hypochondriac.
Only a few clues, such as are
regularly accepted by police. are
found, and it is up to Johnny to
use all of the cunning that he
has stored UP in scientific re-
search to pin the crime on the
right party.
In "You Stand Accused"
Dana HughSton presents the
mystery of who killed Walter
Dawson, a man who seemed to
have had no enemies and to be
loved and respected by all. The
story is unfolded in a court
room, where Millicent Dawson
and Ned Winters are no trial
for their lives.
Carefully working through the
questions hurled at the accused
by the judge and the opposing
attorneys, the whole network Of
their life is unfolded. F. s.

AS the grounds are located at
Flushing, L. l., Representative
William B. Barry, Congressman
from that district, has made
strenuous efforts that the post
mark of Flushing, l.. l., N. Y"
be used, and not that Of New
York city, on all outgoing mail.
This request has not been re.
ceived so favorably by the gen.
eral committee Of the New York
World Fair, of which Grover C.
Whalen is president.
"As the New York World Fair
is strictly a New York proposi.
tion, why bring Flushing into
the picture?" is the way these
powers look at it.
PLAN 3 FAIR STAMPS
Decision will be handed down
finally, however, by the Post
Office Department. According
to the latest information, q
series of three stamps, and pos
sibly four, may be issued by the
Post Office Department. among
them commemorative airmail
stamp.
The commemorative airmail
would be something new in the
way of adhesives issued by the
Post office Department, and
should find instantaneous favor
with the legion of stamp col
lectors, not only in America but
in foreign countries as well. The
stamp probably would be Of the
Scent denomination, unless air
rates are changed between now
and the spring OF 1889.
1t is believed that a special
2-cent, and a Scent stamp also.
will likewise be issued, with the
possibility Of a 1.cent adhesive.
The Century of Progress Fair
at Chicago in 1888 brought forth
a 1-cent and a Scent stamp,
along with souvenir sheets.
The Columbian Exposition
and World Fair at Chicago in
1928 was the first fair to be
so honored with a special series
Of postage stamps by the Post
Office Department.
Other fairs and expositions
also honored include the Trans
Mississippi at Omaha, 1898;
Pan-American at Buffalo. 1901;
Louisiana Purchase, 1904;
Jamestown Exposition, 1907;
Alaska Yukon-Pacific Territory
Exposition at Seattle, 1908;
Sesquicentennial Exposition Of
American Independence at Phila-
delphia, 1925. and the Cali.
The Washington times., 1937-12-04

fornia-Pacific International Ex-
position at San Diego, 1885.
The olympic games at Los
Angeles likewise were honored
with a special set Of two stamps.
Nothing definite is known
about the philatelic plans Of
the Post Office Department in
regard to the New York World
Fair, but it is well to know that
something is being stirred up
in a philatelic vein concerning
this gigantic celebration.

Life Story
Of a Great


A biography that cannot be
laid aside until it Is finished
is rare. Such a one is Madame
Curie," the life story Of the
woman who discovered radium,
written by her younger daugh-
ter, Eve Curie.
The book is delightfully."- writ
ten. It reads like a novel, and
never does the author inject her
own personality, only rarely, as
q matter Of fact, even mention
ing herself in the first person.
But aside from the charm of
Miss Curie's writing, this biog-
raphy reveals Madame Marie
Curie, twice winner of the
Nobel Prize, as she rarely has
been imagined by this genera
ton. She has become legend,
an auStere woman whose only
thoughts were of science.
But her biography shows
her a real human being. In
her young womanhood she
was beautiful, and in her mid
die age, exquisite, according to
her daughter.
SPURNED RICHES
During all the years of her
success, she spurned fame and
riches, and always looked back
with fond memories to her
school days and to the days she
and her husband worked in
barren shed as a laboratory,
seeking the secret Of radium.
She was born in Warsaw, in
Poland, the youngest child of
gifted parents, both of whom
were teachers. This was an ex-
ceptional family-Marie's two
sisters, Bronya and Hela, and
their brother, Joseph, all were
to make their own particular
mark in the world.
After starving in garrets to
fathom the intricacies Of her
passion, physics, at the sorbonne
in Paris, Manya Sklodovski
cher Polish name) took the
highest honors in school, and
then met Pierre Curie.
CURIE LOSES LIFE
The couple lived very happily
in their family and scientific
worlds, until a great tragedy
took the life Of Pierre in the
middle Of the Curies' work. The
tragedy left the discoverer of
radium stunned, but she threw
herself back into her work, and
soon took her second Nobel
Prize for her further work in
radioactivity.
Toward the end. Threatened
with blindness, she overcame
even this difficulty, as she had
surmounted so many others in
her lifetime, and after a long
and fruitful life she died in
1894.
The book, translated by the
journalist, Vincent sheean, is
really q classic. Those who read

The wolf situation, particularly around Wainwright and Point Lay, is bad, according to a report from Warden Grenold Collins to the Alaska Game Commission on his arrival in Kotzebue from an ex- tended dogsled trip through the area. He will come to Juneau as soon as transportation is available.
 In a message to Executive Off, ficer Frank Dufresne. Collins said:
 Situation bad inland from Vain wright and Point Lay. Depreda- tions in Point Barrow vicinity not extensive during the fall due to |ccrralling efforts of local herders. Personal observations near Kuk River was 12 female reindeer killed previous day by wolves. Tongues eaten and others untouched"

He then swung back across country, south of Bar row, and to Wainwright from where he made a trip up the Kuk River, coming out near Point Hope and proceeding to Kotzebue from where he plans to fly to Juneau to make his report and recommendations.
