 Answer-Such dropping of one or both eyelids is called ptosis. It may be congenital (present as peculiar ity at birthD or due to paralysis of nerves supplying elevators of lids. Not contagious. Sometimes plastic operation on upper lid corrects the trouble,

 Q. Please settle an argument for us: Is it necessary to tip the op- orator at a beauty shop?
 A. Tipping is never compulsory. Some shops request that tips be omitted. Usually. however, regular ly patronized operators are tipped ten per cent of the total charge; never less. If you feel that extra good service has been given and wish to express appreciation, a larger tip may be given.
 c. Is the crust for a meat pie made in the same way as that for a fruit pie?
 4. Crust for meat pie Is made ex- a:tly as is biscuit dough, except that more fat is used. Fat from the meat is excellent. The dough is rolled out about one-half inch thick to the proper size for the baking dish placed on top of the filling. and the pie baked in q hot oven (about 425 degrees F)-a slightly lower temperature than for biscuits. The crust bakes better if the filling is hot to start.
 c. What will remove the odor of fish or onion from the hands?
 4. Drop a little lemon juice in the palm and rub well over the hand. This not only removes oder but helps to keep the hands soft aud ~h,s@

 It was signed, "Carole Fiske," and in brackets below, "an em- ploye of the War Supplies Depart ment, Chicago"
 Dawson laughed shortly.
 That's easy to explain. The girl thought I was sort of inter- national spy who sells to the high est bidder and decided it was time to end it. I'm now hurrying by R. c. A.

HENRY
THE ELUSIVE CAROLE CHAPTER XII

Under the distant and disapprov- eng scrutiny of the headwaiter Clyde Dawson picked up his reservation at the desk, then began a search for Carole Fiske, who had fled the din ing room after throwing cup of coffee in his face.
 Dawson knew in advance the search would be futile. No black haired girl had passed through the main entrance in the last 10 min utes, the doorman said. Nor had :, such q girl used either of the two elevators during that time. A ma- tron assured him that the girl was an neither of the ladies lounges.
 From his room Dawson tele- nhoned the Intelligence Bureau to put out dragnet for the girl in the Halifax area. While removing his soiled shirt, he mentally noted there were many strange things about Carole Fiske, but the most curious of all was her exclamation Maien she saw Paul Dexel in the @lning room doorway.
 She had cried out that 1t couldn't De that Paul Dexel was mur- dered and had started to say some thing about DarlSin.
 Her implied ignorance of the executed mans fate had always puzzled the investigator. After all lt would be wiser for her to pre- tend no knowledge of the New eoundland drama Yet there had been no faking about her ex- rlamation. And what had Dexel supposedly murdered, to do with k2 Who had told her that lie and why?
 As he shaved, Dawson drowned into the mirror. No matter what she was, breaking the news about Lemoy would be tough chore.
 Tn IS minutes he was at his bureau office. The agents who had escorted Dexel to the hotel were waiting for him.
 "That touching scene did some thing to the Strong Silent man" :" one grinned. He was talking to himself all the way back here. Better go right in and quiz him we'll work the telegraph from this room"
 Paul Dexel half rose from his chair in his bleak detention room mg Dawson entered

 MURDER IN FERRY COMMAND
BY A. w. O'BRlEN

I Air Command dne ask for plane to fly me up there. must be in St. Johns before the girl arrives. Phone me at the hotel - I'm going to pack"
 On the way back to the Nova Sco- tian, Dawson pondered the amazing story Dexel had told him. It was so utterly fantastic yet so obviously true. Years of exacting detective work, and reading of involved spy hunts had produced nothing like this. Yet 1t all fitted so perfectly 1t couldn't be false.
 Dawson walked quickly through the hotel lobby and went up to his room. Opening the door, he paused abruptly. There was man with his back to the door bending over his opened suit case and prob ing through the contents. Dawson slipped hand inside his coat to his revolver holster and stepped into the room.
 As he did so, second man whipped from the darkened bath room and pinned DawsonIs arms to his sides.
 Vainly, Clyde Dawson tried to shake himself free from the strong arms of the man who had grabbed him from behind. Meanwhile, the I one who had been searching through his suitcase dashed across the room and tugged the investi- gators revolver from the shoulder holster.
 Take it easy" an authoritative voice growled. Were from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. !"
 Dawson ceased struggling.
 Hell" he panted, let's stop playing games-we're on the same team. I'm Dominican Intelligence you'll find my credentials in a false bottom compartment of the suitcase your pal was amusing himself with"
 When Dawson had satisfied the Mounties as to his identity, one of them drew a sheet of writing paper from his pocket and handed 1t to Dawson.
 Perhaps you can give us a hint as to what this is all about, them" the Mountie queried. "You1l mo- tice the letter about you was prop erly signed we seldom act on anonymous tips of this nature.

 T don't know what you are talking about. I don't know any thing about fingerprinting ' Dexel was pale as sheet.
 A door opened and one of the agents handed Dawson a telegram The latter read 1t an dtossed the paper to Dexel who picked 1t up in trembling hands.

 That's better" grunted Daw- son. But before start, I am in forming you that all you have said and will say will be recorded by dictograph and anything you say might be held against you !"
 For over two hours the men talked.
 When Dawson came out into the main office his face wore a pe- culiar expression for the first time he seemed worried.
 Have you located Carole Fiske yet?"
 The other shifted uneasily.
 Its bad break we haven't got her but know where she Is. She apparently rushed down to the docks in a taxi and found a ship about to sail for Newfound- land. It was sheer luck - the purser had cabin for two that had only one woman in 1t, an officers wife, and he gave Fiske the other bunk :"
 Did the ship sail?"
 "Yes, Fiske flashed some identi- fication from the War Supplies Department, claide she was on urgent business and got through in rush. AS luck would have 1t, this all happened just a few min utes before sailing time-at 7:50 a. m. It is now after 10 :"
 That means the ship is out of the Narrows and on the open sea Likely in convoy" Dawson's face was grim. T can't signal 1t to return. Whats the ships name?'
