. STAMP NEWS

THE U. s. national defense se- ries of three stamps will go on first-day sale in Washington, D. C., Oct. l2. The l-ce1t value will picture industry and agricul- ture; the 2-cent, the army and navy; and the 3-cent, security, ed- ucation, conservation and health.
 Several collectors have called attention to the use of two lan- guages on the U. s. Coronado commemorative. The inscription "l540-Coronado Cuarto Centen- nial-l940" was the name selected by the commission in charge. of the celebration marking the 4O0th anniversary of Spanish explora- Gons in the southwest.
 Four new stamps illustrating scenes in Japan's Kirishirna- Ma, tional Park have been issued. The views include Mount Takachino, Kirishima Shrine, Mount Kanoku and Lake Roku-Kannon.
 .
 Germany marks a half. cen- tury's ownership of Heligoland, fortified island of the North Sea, with a new stamp. Heligoland was under Danish control until 1907, then fell to, the British. Britain ceded the island to Ger many in 1890.
 Germany also has issued two values marking the return of Eupen and Malmedy to the Reich. These districts were ceded to Bell gium after the World War.
 
 Rumania's Boy Scout organi- sation, the Sentinels, is honored with pictorial issue of eight values.

 Miss Hempfleld and MT. Lang don. Later they crossed to the new lioneSS. The rest of us we're at the coffee table, though there was some moving about just be- fore that Really, can't recall exactly what each person did"
 Then, after the lights went out and you were all armed, MT Langdon returned to the ioness?"
 Evidently. But the ladies re- mained at the coffee table. No doubt Langdon thought he could get good shot If anyone tried to rush the door. The lioness is in direct line with it."
 A faint gleam rose and died in Plowman's eyes. He turned his flash on the mouth of the new noness, and drew out an old- fashioned key.
 I'm stumped!" Sidney breathed. "It must be the key to the Jungle and if 1t is, then"
 Then 1t lokS as if some per- son who was in the jungle locked the door, Plowman said with faint irony.
 It flashed into Braitwood's mind that Marta and Adam himself had had the best opportunity to lock the door and hide the key. Inward ly he breathed 8 prayer that her fingerprints might not be found on the key.
 Professor Gundrum spent some time fumbling about the lioness, He lifted Langdon's coat to see how far scimitar had pene- trated," he told Plowman through dry lips. "Togi could have slipped down here after he had gone to his room with an attack of nausea. Not that I believe he, did, but it could have happened"
 Plow1nan nodded. "This man was killed with a Lilliput, judg- ing from the size of the bore. Make a search for 1t, O'Connor, and fix his heel marks on the block so that we can tell how far he swung after being shot,"
 "I've found the gun already Captain O'Connor said. Its a little bit of a gat. It just fitted into the upturned mitt of that ugly brute of a monkey next the door,"

NEW EVIDENCE

When the police finally arrived, Sidney met them alone. Pat had asked 1t, and the others had read- fly consented. As the family lawyer, it had seemed logical to allow him to do the talking.
 There were two officers: Ser geant O'Connor, tall and alert, and his superior, Captain Flow man of the state police. Flow mans broad, impressive face was devoid of personal expression. But Sidney soon learned that those cold, blue eyes could com pei an answer and draw out truth as effectively as 8 magnet draws steel.
 Sidney was relieved when the officers reported 8 green sedan had passed them, and that a fallen tree had forced them to detour. He did not want to see Barkes needleSsly involved.
 With slow deliberation, Flow man seated himself, took black leather notebook from his pocket, examined his pencil for sharp ness, and asked details of the murder.
 Quickly, Braitwood related the facts as he knew them. He told of Adams return from Africa on ship, other than that he had cabled he was sailing on; his sur prise marriage; the kinship of the guests to the murdered man. He did not dwell on Marta's broken love affair, nor did he stress the fact that Gundrum had been en- gagged to Pat. Sidney told his story as he imagined each one of them would have told 1t.

COMMON PALACES CONCERN

COMMON FALLACIES CONCERN
ING DIABETES
Diabetes Is not a disease of the
kidneys, but a deficiency in the
function of the islands Of LANCER
hans, specialized groups of cells in
the pancreas or abdominal sweet
bread, and perhaps some associated
deficiency in the function Of the
liver. Chronic nephritis develops I'LL
timately In many cases Of diabetes
as a manifestation Of arteriosclero-
sis. Arteriosclerosis Is responsible
for more than half of the deaths
in diabetes today; has been demon
strated by X-ray in 80 per cent Of
cases of ten years or more duration:
There is no ground for the notion
that the sugar Of honey or fruit or
this or that special fruit or vegeta-
BILE, Is more suitable for one with
diabetes than plain cane sugar Or
common starch. So far as the nu-
triton Of healthy individual or a
diabetic individual is concerned,
there is no evidence that one form
of sugar or starch is more digesti-
BILE, more quickly available for en-
ergy or more beneficial in any way
than any other form of sugar or
starch.
If oatmeal, for instance, is bet
ter utilized by one with diabetes

meal diet was superior for. diabetes
it is not because the carbohydrate
Starch or sugar. in oatmeal Is bet

flour but perhaps because oatmeal
is rich in vitamin B, in which white
flour Is poor, and vitamin B pro-
notes better assimilation and utili-
cation Of carbohydrate, in the nor
NAL person and in the diabetic. 1t
is a grave mistake to, assume that
one with diabetes may eat" this
and that and ''may not eat" other
items which contain sugar or starch.
No one can live and thrive with
out reasonable amount of sugar or
starch, not even a diabetic. The inn
portant problem in every case of
diabetes is to determine the pa
tents tolerance for carbohydrate
that is, how much he or she can util-
ize-and then arrange q diet which
will provide that much carbohydrate
and more. This carbohydrate toll
erance changes from time to time
and the successful treatment Of dia-
betes demands periodic tests Of car
boEydrates tolerance and adjust
