213, from Chestertown to Church Hill
has just about been completed. This
road has been widened to % feet.
The surfacing has been completed and
the dirt shoulders are now being
widened back.
The work was done by the Convict
Labor from the Chester, Md. Camp
Mr.. E. S. Thompson, State Road En-
gineer was in charge of the labor
work. He is in charge of all convict
labor work in the state.
The work was under the direct sup
eryision of State Roads Engineer

girl produced another bit of parch-
ment.
"My fathers divorce decree, from
the French courts. You understand
French, naturally, having been so Oft
en- abroad" The red lips twisted.
"You will read this, please?"
The document, in substance, read
that: Etienne de Fleury secured his
decree from the one-time Laurel Sell
by, of Maryland, U. S. A., with COM
plete custody of the infant Gabrielle.
On grounds derogatory to the wife.
Jean cried: "But my father was
legally married to my mother year
before was born! We have the mar
riage certificate at home. Even if
all this is true, what harm can you
do to us?"
But she knew! Knew intuitively
that Laurel had never told Rupert.
Had been afraid to divulge that early
scandal. Afraid to tell him of the
child that had been taken from her
by the courts.
Confirming this, Rupert's almost
pig-headed hatred of divorce was
we'll known. Divorced women, even
when they had been wronged, were
not approved by him as friends for
Laurel, though she had plenty among
them. Right from the beginning, he
must have made this evident to the
young widow, so that she had not
dared tell him her early story, fear
ing that the rich man would not mar
ry her if he knew.
Gaby said slowly: 81 was seven
when my father died. The chateau
was gone, swallowed by postwar tax
alton, the mortgages. For ten years
/ was in convent. No one came to
see me but my old French nurse" She
stared resentfully at Jean. "There
were no relatives living on my faith
er's side" She added: "My nurse told
me that after your father, Gene Gar
rett, was killed, our mother wrote her
a letter, asking her not to say any
thing to my father, but to bring me to
an inn three kilometers away from the
chateau, to say goodbye to her be-
fore she sailed for America. My nurse
was sure she intended to kidnap me
and take me to America, so she took
that letter to my faher."
Jean said desperately: II still don't
believe your story!"

MIRACLE HOUSE CLOSES
22ND ANNUAL SEASON

The Miracle House, Maryland's pre-
ventorium for children, closes its
twenty second annual season on Labor
Day, it was announced by the Mary
land tuberculosis Association.
One hundred and twenty children
between the ages of and IL have
been at the Miracle House all sum-
mer being restored to health. AL
though none of these children has
tuberculosis, each is under-nourished
and in contact with the disease in his
home. During the summer, all have
been built up physically so that they
might withstand this contact.
In addition to the treatment con-
sisting of nourishing food, rest and
sleep, sunshine and fresh air, dental
corrections were made on all of the
children.
William B. Matthews, managing
director of the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association, stated, "This sea-
son has been very successful. All of
the children responded to the treat
ment exceptionally WE'LL"
The work at the Miracle House
is made possible by the purchase of
Christmas Seals which are mailed to
the citizens of Maryland in November.

young girl in the wedding gown,
though he had an air of great refine
ment. "Why he's old!"
"He was forty-three. She was
nineteen. For her, it was a good
marriage"
"And now she's forty-three! And
I'm nineteen!" Jean gasped. Oh, it
didn't make sense!
"She is forty-four years old! And
you must be twenty, since your faith
er was killed before the Armistice,"
Gaby corrected" Now you will please
look at this miniature. Our mother,
with me, when I was two years of
age.
Jean saw, in Laurel's arms, a love-
ly baby with the great dark eyes of
Gaby the imposter! Laurel, even at
that age, strikingly resembled the
much later portrait in the drawing
room on Park Avenue. So wonder
Gaby had laughed Historically, seeing
it this day, saying it reminded her
of her own mother!
"And will you look at this mar
riage certificate, please?"
In the long French record, faded
now, the name of Laurel Selby fairly
sprang from the parchment, opposite
Etienne de Fleury.
"But /. but she was a nurse in a
hospital, she always said! 1t was
there she met my father"
"Look at that, please" A group
of American soldiers, in uniform. In
front, the strikingly handsome dough-
boy, Gene Garrett. Laurel, stunning
ly pretty in a white natty uniform.
In the background, the chateau.
"She was nurse, yes-but she for
got she was also the chatelaine of
the hospital, Miss Garrett" Gaby's
dark eyes were blazing with resent
ment.
"How dare your"
II dare anything, because I have
the truth on my SIDE"
"I'll tear this up!" Jean cried, hard
ly knowing what she said, she was
in such mental turmoil. Impossible to
think that Laurel had hidden this
early marriage all these years!
Gaby wrenched marriage certificate
and photograph from jeans grasp.
The photograph tore. But the certi-
ficate, of heavy parchment, was in
tact
81 have a pistol in my trunk"
warned Gaby. "Do not dare what you
Americans call to pull a fast one on
me, or I use it!'
"Have you anything more to show
me?" asked Jean sarcastically.
"Plenty."

I'VE, THE WOMEN-- Cash "Scholarship" Is Big Help To Business Freshmen

to any keep the wolf from the door" scholarship-it might be well for families to consider the plan.
 Suppose there are several adult working members of family. Couldn't they chip in and create 8 scholarship" for the member of the family currently getting his or her experience?
 Even if Nom and Pop have to raise the scholarship fund alone - with out help from an older child-they might find it money well spent.
 For that little bit, dollar a day might well mean the difference be- tween a young man or woman's taking the job that seems to have future and taking the job that doesn't look so good for tomorrow but pays a little more today. And it might permit a young person to take job away from home-in- stead of having to stay in his own home town because it means that he can get his room and board for nothing if he lives with his family.

GAY PANEL ROCK WITH TRIM BOLERO

Doff years as well as inches from your appearance by wearing this unusually becoming, youthful style. Pattern 102 is a Claire Tilden spe- cial for mature women who like to look young and pretty. A flower sprinkled print will make an at- tractive and practical fabric choose neatly spaced design to slim your figure. You'll like the tapered lines of the front panel from neck to hem, which gives nice full- ness to the skirt. The wonderful softness of the bodice, held in with tucks at the shoulders and gathers at either side of the panel and above the waist, makes for a slender silhouette. Cut the sleeves just above or just below the elbows, and tuck them for smoth fit. Hasn't the neckline an interesting and flat tering shape? Edge it with lace, if you like, and sew either perky rib- bon bows or smart buttons down the panel. The very jaunty, lorg- sleeved bolero, especially effective trimmed with gay flower gives a stunning finishing touch to this out fit!
 Pattern 102 is cut in women's sig es 36, 38, O, 42, A, 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 3 5-8 yards 39 inch fab- ric and 2 1-8 yards lace edging.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) in coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

WHY WORRY ABOUT A THING
 THAT NEVER HAPPENS?

Among many astonishing State~s me1lts made in an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (February s. 1938) was this:
 All physicians know that the
 blue ointment (metallic mercury
 in finely dispersed form in fat)
 employed as an antiSyphilttic
 agent is readily absorbed through the skin."
 Maybe it is presumptuous to say so, but still I am a physician, a member of Erie County Medical So- ciety, New York State Medical So- ciety, and member or fellow of the American Medical Association, and I not only do not know, but I am reasonably certain that no other physician knows that mer. cury is absorbed through the un- broken skin. The truth is that few physicians today prescribe or ad- minister mercury or any other rem- edy by iilunction, that is. by apply ing the medicine to or by rubbing it on or into the skil1-that is, any remedy to produce systemic effect.
 If "all physicians know that mercury so applied is absorbed through the skin, then this contro- yersy have been carrying on with the self-styled scientific author ities" in reference to the imperme- ability of the health skin is now set- tied, and all physicians, not just some of them, know something that isn't so.
 A case of mercury poisoning from application of blue ointment to the ? skin was reported by New England physician in the Journal of the American Medical Association about ten or twelve years ago. The phy- sician, 8 woman, attributed the poi. Soning to inhalation of the mercury vaporized or volatilized by the heat of the body, and the circumstances under which the poisoning occurred bore her out in that view. Maybe we need more women in Medicine.
 Lead poisoning is too well known to be discussed here," de- clared the doctor whose article l cited. If that implied that painters absorb lead through the skin the notion is not shared by many physi- clans today. Some such idea may have seemed plausible enough long ago. The present view of physicians is that painters get lead poisoning only by inhaling particles of lead in the dust raised when old paint is scraped or sandpapered dry, and by swallowing paint when they are careless enough to eat without first washing their hands when they are on job. {.
 Printers and others get lead poi soning by inhaling fumes of molten lead in minute quantity but over prolonged period at their occupa- ton. There is no evidence, and probably little if any belief among intelligent physicians today that any one in any circumstance is ever poisoned with lead through the skin. It is just another little thing not to worry about l.
 Whether to Chew or Eschew
 Please give the present view of the medical profession in regard to meat diet and appendicitis and other diseases of the digestive or. gans. Once, I think, you cited some opinion to the effect that excessive
