NEA Serv1co Stan correspondent
 London, May 25.-England has been afflicted with a mild case of "spy-itis." Several persons have been arrested, charged with selling their cotntry's secrets to Germany, and a fair number of Germans, masking as journalists, business men and mere travellers, have been ordered back to Maitland.
 Hundreds of German women work as servants in English homes. Recently ther has been much news paper agitation on the subject, it being pointed out that many army officers living near important points like Aldershot and Woolwich were employing German women as do- mestics. The reason for this is the difficulty in getting British women to do this kind of work.
 That many of these German women may use their eyes and ears to obtain information for the Nazi regime Is not improbable.

CHAPTER XIV

People will tell you that New York's Chinatown has no color, that 1t is . weak imitation of San Francisco's Oriental quarter. Clem had heard this remark often. To- night she resented 1t. Nothing had prepared her for the picturesque winding backways through which she and jack were being led by Martin. Modern electric signs lighted mysterious old pagodaroofed buildings. Silent, shadowy figures leaned against dilapidated frame houses. And over all was the strange hum of another civilization; the clack-clack of Oriental tongues, the fiip-fiap of felt-slippered feet and the flat click of fantan chips min- gling with the intermittent roar of the Third Avenue Fl.
 Through the narrow, curving streets swarmed an lnimaginable lot of people. Tourists, wearing heavy nondescript travelling clothes, custer ed round professional guides in gray blue uniforms and viSored caps. Chinese men, their parchment like faces emphasized by somber black suits, stood quietly about, staring at the visitors with unconditional, but ton-black eyes. Chinese women, more brilliantly attired in bright silks and bareheaded, waited behind their men, while babies, bright but terfies in native kimonos, played at their feet.
 To Clem 1t was intriguing. She felt treasured at sight of a police- man standing in front of the native grocery at Pell and Doyers streets, but comfort of his presence was lost as she and Jack stepped with Martin into the mysterious darkness of 8 silent hallway.
 Chin doesn't believe in adver- tising his place." whispered the Duke. Follow me and feel your way"
 They had turned into one of the rickety old wooden houses which Clem had noted from the street. AS the three groped their way to the second floor, singular, acrid odor pricked their nostrils.
 "Hopwood," said Martin. "You can't soft-pedal an opium Joint. Chh's paid his hush-money or you wouldn't be smelling that"
 Down the dark hall came the swift beat of something that

sounded like the Tapping of bats wings. 'It's o'kay Chin," called Mar tin. This is the Duke He turned to Clem and Jack. That's Chins slippers we hear
 'Evidently a familiar sound to you" said Jack.
 'I've heard 1t before," admitted Martin. Come on, we'll follow the Chinaman. Chin,' the Duke appar- ently was addressing a black vacu- um, "these are two good friends of mine who want to meet you"
 He pulled a fiashlight out of his pocket and focused it down the hall. Twenty feet from them stood a wisp of an Oriental. His tiny body was hardly marked under the flat ness of his dark blue robe and you would have thought him dead but for the fact that he stood upright and his small, slanting eyes burned strangely in the shrunken yellow mask.
 He gave crooked grin and bowed at Martins introduction.
 Please to meet you," he said. T show you customers. Mebbe you like smoke too" His lips parted, reveal ing yellow fangs. Up two steps here. Down three steps there. Into this entrance. Out of that.
 Were over on the Mott street side now" the Duke said. Every good hop joint has two or three getaways"
 Suddenly a door opened and a thin thread of light filtered out.
 "You can talk as much as you want" said Martin. "These dopes won't hear you. They're lost in sweet dreams" He waved hand toward the rows of hunks which lined the walls.
 My best customers" said Chin grinning.
 Clem clutched Jacks arm and pointed to a man in a lower bunk, grubby and unshaven.
 This only start" volunteered Chin. T show you more. velley meny ladies, too. Want see?" l 4Ou1C AlCAC, JOA AAAA6Alg uo WOiA do the whole show" remarked Mar l tin. You've had the first shock"
 Clem, rather white, gave in.
 "If you want to leave, we can, " reminded Jack.
 She smiled wanly. "It's funny. I don't like this, and yet I'm still curious. I'll always want to return if I don't see everything. I'd better get 1t over with now. Come on."
 She followed Chin and Martin through the smoke-laden haze into the next room.
 Women lay sprawled on rattan mats. Some clutched the small opium pipes which rested on the floor at their sides. Chin kicked a girl with his foot.
 "She don't even feel it. Been that way two day. Wan try it?" No cost you anything. Fine dreams"
 Clem shok her head.
 Jack glanced at Martin. Ever try it yourself?"
 "Once or twice. It's not a bad sensation"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-25

A woman lying near Martin stirred uneasily, moaning as she moved. She was slight and small with mass of raven black hair, but as she turned her face, Clem saw she was not young. Her fea- lures were heavy and her skin yell low. Unlike the other opium smok- CTS Chin had exhibited, her face ] was pathetically impressive. Come, we've seen enough" said Jack.
 "The air has never felt so fresh and clean," exclaimed Clem, taking 8 deep breath as she and Jack and Martin stepped out on Doyers street again.
 The Duke pulled out his watch. we've just about time to make May Days, if you want to see a ritzier version of this"
 But Clem was no longer intrigued. Another night. I'm sleepy"
 Jack yawned. You've got two tenderfeet on your hands, Martin. We're not broken into this night life yet"
 The Duke smiled. "ThereIl al- ways be another time." He turned toward the Bowery. "Ill have Con- don drive you home."
 As the light from a shop window struck his face, girl who'd been standing across the street with 8 couple of men, waved at him.
 Hello, Duke" she called. What are you doing down here?" It was Mary Franklin.
 Martin drowned as she joined them. Showing another girl the sights?" There was an edge in her tone.
 "Just walked over with some boys from the paper. This is hangout of mine" She smiled. Watch your step, Clem. The Dukes out of your depth" Glancing back at Martin, she flung him 8 parting shot. T have a gift for being in the wrong place at the right time, which is another way of saying I'm 8 good newspaper woman. So long. See you at Janice French's inquest tomor- row!"
 I'm not going!" The Dukes tone was surly.
 But Mary didn't hear him. She was already half way down the block.

. STAMP NEWS

EIRST-DAY sales of the U. s. A three-cent New York Worlds Fair commemorative reached the highest figure in the history of the Post Office Department. There were l,964,743 stamps sold at New York for $58,942.29. Included in this figure were 585, ,000 first-day covers. Sales of the stamp at the Washington Philatelic agency the next day totaled $1l,847.48 for 394,916 stamps. including l0,599 covers.
 The four-cent Army and Navy and the five-cent Army stamps have been removed from sale at the Washington Philatelic agency. The fve-cent Navy stamp was re- moved previously when the sup ply was exhausted. Sales of all stamps at the agency during March totaled $84,6O2.03.
 An initial order of 50,000, 900 Washington inaugural stamps has been placed with the U. S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. These will be printed by the fiat-plate process.
 Alvin R. Meissner is designer of this stamp, J. Eissler and E. M. Hall, engravers. The stamp will be issued April 30.
 
 Newfoundland will issue a com- memorative in honor of the visit to Canada of the British mon- archs. It will be five-cent value, large, bearing portraits of King George and Queen Elizabeth at each side of Newfoundland's coat of-arms.
 Apparently the U. S. Post Office Department plans no reissue of the part-perforated errors of the six-cent bi-color airmail stamp and the l0-cent special delivery value. Philatelists had requested reissues on the ground that prices of these errors were exorbitant. A limited number of both stamps are said to be available.

No Halfway
Measure Is
Possible
Drastic Suggestion
To Avoid Having
House Guest
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: I'm a busi-
ness woman and home is a one
room, beds-in-the wall type of
apartment, with additional cubicle
dressing room and small kitchen.
I have friend who spends most
Of her time travelling from one
place to another, visiting her many
friends. She has private income
and no all-the-t time job. I like
having her when my time comes,
but don't like having her string
out her visit from a long week end
to three weeks, which is what
generally happens. But I feel help
less to do anything but suffer as
pleasantly as know how, although
by the end of her visit the situation
becomes exceedingly strained. When
she writes that she would like to
come, what can I do so she will
not stay indefinitely? Understand,
I like having her for a week end
or even a day or two over that
time, but more than that inter-
feres too much with my regular
routine.
Answer-1t seems to me that you
have choice Of only two situations.
They are either to put up with
three weeks inconvenience for the
pleasure of three days enjoyment,
or to give up having any one stay
with you, ever. BY this mean
that you would have to take away
the extra bed in the wall and turn
the space into linen or book shelves,
or whatever else would be most
useful to you, but that could not
be taken out and changed at the
prospect Of guest. If you did
this it would be necessary to avoid
having q sofa that could be used
Is 4 bed. Then when she or any
other would-be visitor suggests
coming, you can only say that in
order to make yourself more COM
Portable, you had to give up having
any one stay In your apartment.
But that you hope to see almost as
much Of her as though she were
visiting you. I agree that this ad-
vice sounds drastic! But 1t seems
to me that there is no halfway
measure in your case, or In any
| other like it.
Dear Mrs. Post: If a person
who sits several places away at table
asks to have the bread tray passed,
would it look impolite to help my
self to bread first before passing 1t?
Answer-It would be very foolish
to pass the tray all the way down
the table and then ask to have it
come all the way back again so
you could help yourself. In other
words, If you keep the dish Cor tray
in your own hand, you offer 1t to
the person next to you before help
ing yourself, but If 1t is to be
handed on beyond your reach you
help yourself before letting It 80.
