Colds, according to DR.. Armstrong,
are good things in more ways than
one.
Curbs Other Infections
DR.. Armstrong began to think
about the well-known fact that
sleeping sickness and infantile pa
ralysis are summer ills; and the
common cold is winter i'll. Sleep
ing sickness and infantile paralysis
both enter the body through the
nose. Is it possible that good nose
infection with the common cold
crowds out the more terrible dis
eases?
Working on this suggestion, DR..
Armstrong made some experiments.
He washed the noses of white mice
with salt water and pooled the wash
ings. Then he grew culture of bac-
terra from the washings and put
minute amounts of these cultures
into the noses of other mice several
times week. After few days he
inoculated their noses with the virus
of sleeping sickness. Sixty per cent
of them survived this incubation,
while in a control group of mice

which had not been previously
sprayed with the bacterial culture,
only rs per cent survived.
Raised Resistance
Apparently the previous nasal in
lection raised resistance in the
membrane to other infections. 1t
was found that the bacterial spray
caused the production of white blood
cells, which have a defensive role
against infections. These white
cells were poured into the nasal mu-
cous membrane in great quantities.
They apparently produced immun-
ity for five days.
It is possible that some form of
immunization can be produced in
this way and that the experiments
have practical side. Certainly it
would be worth trying in a commun-
ity faced with an epidemic of infan-
tile paralysis. A Summer cold",
even if deliberately induced, is
welcome substitute for either of the
other common summer infections.

GREAT horror is shown by stat
isticians and sociologists at the
havoc wrought by the common cold.
About million people will be in
capacitated this week from colds,
making loss Of three thousand
years of working time.
That looks impressive but I doubt
if there is as much trouble as it looks
on paper. That work all gets done
some way or other. And have al
ways felt that a cold was kind OF a
nice thing. It puts you to bed for a
day or two and lets you rest your
poor, old, tired nervous system. You
putter around the house and find
things in drawers that you had for
gotten you had. And it is great
satisfaction to think Of those poor
slaves doing all your work at the
Office for you.
This idea that a cold is a good
thing gets some support from the
observations of DR.. Charles Arm

"You were mistaken" Phil said
quietly, and told briefly of the find
ings of himself and DR.. Didmore.
When he had finished speaking
Mr.. Horace looked as old as time.
He CROPPED for a chair and sank
heavily into it. What can your de-
tective do?" he said at last.
Mac Mcintyre stepped forward:
Il have no wish to intrude upon
your grief, sir" he said respectful
ly, "but for your own sake, and the
sake Of your family, this business
must be cleared up. Miss Ritter is
under cloud Of suspicion. She has
hired me as a special Investigator.
I should like very much to have
your permission to work in my own
way in and about the Manor"
II see." Mr.. Horace sighed. "Sup-
pose you find one Of the guests or
or one of my family guilty?"
II can play no favorites," Mac
replied. "The guilty party, whoever
he is, must pay the penalty"

and made an effort to pull himself
together. Perhaps you are right"
he said slowly, perhaps you are"
He arose. with Miss Ritter's per-

cried, and he thanked me gravely.
"You will excuse me now?" he
said.
"Of course" Mac bowed. II will
talk with you later when you are
feeling better"
Thank you. I shall be at your
service" And returning the bow.
Mr.. Horace walked slowly from the
room. AS he made his exit Chief
Ellis entered.
What's going on, here 2" he de-
manded, looking from one to the
other Of us.
Just a friendly conversation"
Mcintyre told him.
doc Didmore tells me we have
a murder on our hands, after all.
That right?"
I'm afraid it is"
"And so you rushed out to warn
the household" Ellis accused him.
You had no business to do that"
The Chicago detective shook his
head. Il came out to talk with Miss
Ritter. However, I've been hired as
private investigator for the With
erspoon family. Mr.. Horace has
turned the case over to me-"
HAS he ?" Ellis was not pleased.

The little man turned quite pale.
"You are going-to-to disturb my
mothers grave?"
Ellis flushed: I'm sorry, but I'm
afraid we must. Surely, if your
mother was murdered, you want to
know it? You want to avenge her
death?"
"Avenge!" Mr.. Horace passed his
hand across his forehead. Don't
think me heartless or lacking in
family pride, Mr.. Ellis, but l am
afraid vengeance does not appeal
to me. Were it left to me, | should
drop the matter. All this publicity

HE MEANS" interrupted McTn-
tyre smoothly, that when a man
commits murder he becomes a
murderer. To quote an old adage, a
man who has once tasted blood is
apt to figure that he may as well
be hung for a sheep as a lamb. In
other words, Mr. Witherspoon, he
will kill again-and again!"
''You are afraid that the MUIR
ders will continue 2"
Exactly" Mac crossed his long
legs and leaned forward. Some
where in this house," he said
slowly and distinctly, there is a
killer! And somewhere in, this
house there is man or woman
who knows the identity of this
killer! Oh, he or she may not be
aware of this knowledge, - he
amended hastily, as Mr.. Horace
seemed about to speak, "but sooner
or later something will happen to
remind them of it. Something will
recall this hidden and unsupported
knowledge to mind. And when that
happens-well-a man who has
killed once does not hesitate to kill
again"
