ment uncertainty. ga dozen murder
ers could be lurking in the shad-
ows of this enormous room. Let's
make sure they are not doing so
now"
Rogers led the way to the farther
end of the room. Massive furniture,
dark with age, of a period reminis-
cent of Macmillan, blocked our
pathway.
There's nothing back this way"
said Rogers, holding high the candle
and throwing its feeble beams about

back to the other end. Maybe the
murderer is hiding there" He led
the way, holding the candle high
above the level of his eyes. His
foot kicked something as we walked,
and it shot like dark and ominous
shadow before us and fell to the
floor
"What is it?" l asked, feeling
that my voice shook slightly.
Something soft, and light" he
said, advancing again. A few steps
farther on he halted, stopped and
picked up the object. "a sombrero,"
he said.
Rogers held the large sombrero
in his hand as if to examine it in
the light of the candle.
l took it from his hands and
walked over TO the light near the
bed. 1t was a black felt sombrero,
comparatively new, for it showed
almost no signs of wear; across the
front of the crown was an orna-
mental pattern in hand-wrought sill
yer.
George Rumble's sombrero, isn't
it?" asked Rogers over my Shout

He has one like this" I replied.
ut was on the rack near the front
door earlier this evening. How would
it get in here, thought"
perhaps George can tell u.s." He
took the sombrero from me and
dropped it on the foot of the bed,
where it remained a dark and sim
lister shadow, and turned to the bed
side as if to check again some point
about the murder victim which had
occurred to him. A light tap came
at the door, and Rogers halted
abruptly.
Come" he called. The door was
pushed resolutely open.
Vague figures in the dim light
crowded the doorway. Sam Chat

Cruz, and behind him two men in

them.

went at once to the figure on the

diers and the girl soldiers, are per-
haps the most fun of all. If you
have any special gifts along these
lines you may get, through your
enlistment, chance at an audience
that won't forget you after the war.
If you're i'll, even to the slightest
sniffie, the shining bright we'll
equipped hospital and its staff take
charge of you.
WACs Permitted to Marry.
What are some of the questions
you want to ask? Yes, you can use
makeup and curl your hair, so long
as the latter clears your uniform
collar. Yes, as an army wife your
allotment goes on. Yes, you can
fall in love and marry, while in the
service You can go to army dances
and find out what real rushing can
be. You'll be invited to Service
Club parties.
In short, you'll live on the terms
of which all girls dream-or at least
did dream when l was a girl, more
than 40 years ago. Terms of healthy
activity, regulated work, interest,
excitement, companionship, fun. And
you'll have a chance to learn what
ever you want to learn-Which I
never did. You'll learn to swim,
to drive cars, to decode messages,
to project movies, to cook, to work
in the pharmacy, library, hospital.
Very high government officials have
WACs as .stenographers and secre-
taries now, in Washington. The men
these thousands of girls replace are
at the fighting fronts.
Women working today in essen
tial war industries, factories and
farms, are doing a magnificent job.
But leave that work to the wives,
mothers, older women who can't
qualify as WACs. They're being
better paid than you will be, GER
tainly, but lots of that pay goes for
things about which you won't have
to worry, marketing, transportation,
clothes, rent, house cleaning, do
mestic help. And much of it isn't
progressive; rivetting won't be so
much in demand after the war
But what you get will be always
like money in the bank. The right
to call America truly your country,
the country for which you fought
in the greatest of all the wars. The
right to talk to your returning men
on their own terms; no, you didn't
sit at home and grieve. You got
into uniform, perhaps to be sent
overseas, perhaps to work here in
the home camps, but always beside
your soldier. always sharing with
him the greatest experience of your
lives.
This may be the last war. We
pray it will be, and we are taking
steps, in the new enlightened, quick
ened day of air-routes and radio in
formation, to make sure that it will
be. Before you settle down to the
home-making and child-bearing that
are the happiest and most worth
while things in life for a woman,
grasp this chance. It may not
come your way again.

To avoid losing a handkerchief
placed under a bed pillow, try
sewing a pocket on one side of the
pillow case.
To sprinkle clothes for ironing,
use a clean Whisk broom or a bot
tie with a perforated top.
When your shoes are wet, crurn-
pie newspaper and pack in the
shoes. This will absorb the mois-
ture and also help keep the shoes
in shape. Do not place too near
the fire.
Some chopped olives and sweet
or sour pickles added to cole slaw
gives an interesting new flavor.
When washing fails to remove
stains on your oven try using am
monia. Saturate a cloth pad, place
it over the stain, and let it stand.
After about two hours, you can
wipe away most or all of the stain.
WASH the oven thoroughly with
soap suds after using ammonia.
Ground fresh meat cannot be
stored successfully for any length
of time after it is brought from
the market. Wrap it in waxed
paper and store in the freezing
compartment of the refrigerator if
necessary, but even so, use it as
quickly as possible.
