Bill Garrigus and no listing in
the social register. The Bee Is q
small-town mouthpiece, and II
anybody thinks that the small
town isn't the foundation Of every
thing worthwhile In our culture,
then take look at the 1910 census
figures and see where thinking
people are moving to.
The small town stands for peace,
order, and integrity. It comes
mighty close to achieving these
detectives by not worrying about
what society does, what the die
tators are Matching up, or what
the politicians In national and
world affairs are promising. The
small town hasn't any society to
put on airs; 1t hasn't any WPA
to breed paupers. II doesn't want
any. A man stands on his own
in the small town, or he perishes.
Mighty few people perish.
The Newtown Bee goes along
through wars. foods, and up
heavals without o change in its
makeup. Like q serious country
Judge, It attends strictly to the
business at hand and doesn't try
to tell its readers why the 'Haves"
are quarreling with the "Have
Nots." Celebrities get line In
the Bee, II they live in the area.
The kid that raises . good beef
animal or Q superior colt gets just
as heavy o play.
Doings around town are care
fully reported. Danbury Fair has
space In season. The country base
ball clubs secure publicity but the
Bee never wastes ink on Farley's
purchase of the Yankees. Many
a New Yorker has bought the Bee
and sought the financial page in
vain, but every country auction is
advertised and there's usually a
straight tip on how to make hens
lay more eggs faster.
II all Of our world could operate
for just one year as the Newtown
Bee reports the news, think Of
what swell world It would be?
Nobody would thresh around
seeking great riches. Women would
not worry because they couldn't
look like the latest movie favorite.
Crime would slow up because no
body would read about One Gun
Mike blasting the pants of bank
cashier and escaping with o mil
lion. People would be satisfied
with their old cars because they
would never know what The new
ones have top elevators that work
when you push o button. Barn
dances would regain their popular
ity when people could not read
about fAll dress balls at the Astor-
bilt. Baked beans would be well
come every Saturday night be-
cause these fancy salads would
never get free publicity, and people
would not dress for dinner be-
cause they'd work right up TO
quitting time, not having heard
about the forty hour week.
Balance your social gains against
the contentment Of the small
town, and make your choice. Most
people do, when there's time, and
they chose the rail-fence circuit.
The 1910 census proves that cities
are no longer At places In which
to live, that the population sift is
toward the hinterlands. This shift
Is healthy, and 1t Is not inspired
by any such thoughts as we heard
from q new arrival not 50 long ago.
That person claimed 1t was good
business to be reasonably friendly
with country people because, when
the Communist revolt comes, one
will need friends. Communists
are another breed Of cats we never
read about in the Newtown Bee.
Wen attend to Communists, when
the time comes.)

Young Diabetes Learn Diets
Of Health at Christ Child Camp
Boys and Girls Are fought to Prepare
Own Formulas and Live Normal Lives

Five-year-old Bobby, stricken with
diabetes. when baby. likes plums
and green pears, which make him
violently Ill. He dislikes cows, which
give him the raw milk he needs.
At the Christ Child Convalescent
Home in Rockville they are teach
ing Bobby to avoid plums and ap-
preciate the COW. They are teaching
him to weigh his own special diet
and watch his own tests.
As Bobby grows older, he won't be
a burden on his mother. Nor will
he be a burden on the world. That's
the purpose of this secluded farm on
the Norbeck pike-to put diabetic
children in normal atmosphere
and teach them to keep themselves
in health.
Drop Dependent Role.
When they first come to spend
August at the camp, which is taking
diabetic children for the fourth
summer, the little patients are en-
tirely dependent. Some one else
must prepare their formulas, weigh
out the portions, and give the tests.
Some of the children, after two
summers, can now prepare other
children's formulas as well as their
own.
On the surface there is no differ
ence between the diabetic children
and the others among the As at
Christ Child Camp. They play in
the sand box and model clay and
look at the chickens and cows just
like the other children.
Difference at Mealtimes.
But at mealtime they go out in
the kitchen with full responsibility
to weigh and prepare their own food.

skinned, when this car pulled up to
the curb and the driver called me.
The driver said there was an emer-
gency and begged me to get in the
car. He said he'd take ME to the
place and bring me right back. AS
we drove away saw the man who'd
been waiting in front of the store go
inside"
Jiggs nodded an dturned toward
the door. With his hand on the
knob he glanced again at Cranky.

a friend of Steve Callahan's son, and
these buys are trying to frame him
for Steve's murder. I won't tell
anybody what you've said but
might want you to help me later"
eff they find out I've talked
they'll kill me-" Cranky said shakily.
Jiggs pulled open the door. "They
won't find out" he said.
A short time after leaving Gran
by's house Jiggs was at the airport.
He went directly to the airline office
and asked to see the superintendent,
a man named Barnes. After a few
minutes wait he was summoned to
Barnes office. AS soon as he entered
Barnes seemed to sense that some
thing was wrong.
Morning, Jigg." Barnes reached
a hard brown hand across the desk
and gripped Jiggs' hand in friendly
fashion. He was a young man, had
been a pilot himself until a few
months ago, when, much against his
flyers will, he was promoted to an
Office job and slated for a rise in the
business almost as promising as
Toms "You look like some ones
been chasing you," he added.
Offers to Help Jiggs.
Jiggs lost no time on prelimina-
ries. II want to get a leave for a
few days, I know what's happened
to Tom Callahan - he's bein'
framed"
where is hep" Barnes stood up
and came around from behind the
desk. He was tall, broadshouldered.
He lowered over the little mechanic
II don't know. I saw him yester-
day, but he's disappeared"
Barnes pursed his lips. His gray
eyes searched Jiggs' face. "Okay
Jiggs," he said, take as much time
as you need. And if you want any
help let me know" They shook
hands again and Jiggs turned and
left the office. He didn't know what
his next move would be, but he had
a feeling that things were soon 60
ing to come to head.

When Christine Mallory returned
to her room at the Wilbur Hotel that
night after getting Toms message
from Jiggs, she threw herself down
on the bed and sobbed. She ran
slender, trembling fingers through
her thick dark hair; she bit her Liz

and during handcraft class they
make mats for their mothers and
ash trays for their fathers.
This is exactly what some Wash
ington doctors wanted these chill
dren to do. DR.. E. Clarence Rice,
DR.. Samuel Benjamin and DR.. K.
Hammond Mish planned for them to
live in place with a picnic ground
and a playground and lots of other
children. Living normally at a
camp, they could at the same time
be taught what they can eat, how to
eat it and in what amounts.
The farm has been lent by the
Christ Child Society, which sponsors
the convalescent home Thirty of
the children already at the camp
are cared for by the Community
Chest. The Is additional ones taken
on in the summer, including the five
diabetes, are cared for by friends.
Checked by Internes.
Two internes from Children's Hos
pital especially interested in diabetes
keep checking the children's health.
They are constantly under the eye
Of the Christ Child physician, DR..
Robert A. Beir, who originally sug-
gested the use of the camp to DR..
Mish and DR.. Rice.
The ages of these children whom
the camp has taught to live with the
world and correct their own handi-
cap range from to Is. So complete
is the independence taught them,
that when one came crying that his
nickel had been taken, he was told,
Take it back!"

Rolfe Tells Of Theft.

Rolfe Tells Of Theft.
SIEVE Callahan was dead and Tom
was suspected of numbering him.
That couldn't be true-but now it
must be true. Tom had everything
he wanted now, at least that was
what he had told Jiggs to tell her.
That must mean that he had killed
Steve as a means Of getting that
everything" But Tom couldn't
have killed Steve, his own father.
Tom was devoted to Steye-but
Steve was dead and Tom was gone
with only the cryptic message left
behind that he had everything ne
wanted now, and for her to forget
him.
She must have dozed off into
troubled sleep sometime before
dawn because when Rolfe Suite
called she opened her eyes to find
1t light outside. She picked up the
phone and her voice was heavy
with sleep as she said hello.
Have you seen the papers"
Rolfe asked.
Chris said that she hadn't.
Something was stolen from the
store last night. They don't know
what it was yet, but the office was
disturbed and the rear door was
open, and about 10 o'clock or so last
night the guards thought they heard
some one prowling around the place.
Fine bunch of guards, I'd say"
Chris mumbled something about
they sure were. Then Rolfe asked
the question she'd been anticipating
with dread.
Have you heard anything from
him?"
She didn't answer right away
and he asked her if she were still
there, on the wire.
Eyes" she said duly. "I've
heard"
Rolfe waited a moment seeming
to digest the words Then he said
wait for me there, Chris. I'm
downtown now but I'll be up there
as soon as can"
Turns Toward R0lfe.
Slowly Chris put the receiver
back on the hook. She didn't want
to see any one, not even Rolfe. She
couldn't bear to think of telling him
about Toms message. He'd say
something sympathetic and kind,
and she didn't want sympathy or
kind words. But she would have
to tell him sooner or later :.
A shower and change of cloth
ing made her feel better and when
Rolfe called her from downstairs
IS minutes later she was even be-
ginning to feel little bit hungry.
And she was glad now that Rolfe
on, some one to help her get organ
lied in her thoughts, They'd 80
back to Chicago. as Tom had told
her to, and eventually she'd forget
him.

the humiliation of Jiggs as he'd

Lily P0nS Introduces
Pianist In America

It was Lily Pons, boyhood neigh
Dor in the south of France, who in
troduced the young pianist, Emile
Baume, to his impressively large
American public several years ago.
Miss Pons had already become IS
tablished as on of Americas faVorlte
singers when Baume arrived in New
York in 1886 He had enjoyed Euro
pean success but he was a musical
stranger to these shores.
Miss Pons had heard Of Baume's
continental reputation however and
when he came to her for an intro
duction to New York's musical lead
ers. the diminutive soprano deliver
ed him at once to her own managers
for an addition. An impression OF
extradiordinary talent won him 4
contract almost Immediately. His
New York debut was an unqualified
success and word OF 4 neWvlrtuoSo
quickly spread across the land.
Within d years time Baume gave
60 recitals in many cities, something
of a record for a newcomer, and from
many of them he received bids for
return engagements.
This season Baume has been book
