thusiasm Of which I am not
ashamed, as its object is to improve
the taste Of my countrymen, to
increase their reputation, to recon-
cile to them the respect Of the world
and secure them its praise"
That" said the late Elihu Root,
likewise art lover and statesman,
was the simplicity Of the great
exampler of the simple life Of
America"
The Rofnnda Form.
Jefferson was profoundly, i'm
pressed by the rotunda form Of
architectural design which he em-
ployed in his designs for the library
at the University Of Virginia, his
own home, Monticello, and other
houses. This is undoubtedly the
reason it was chosen for the me-
mortal building so soon to be
dedicated here.
AS an architect, Jefferson's great
est achievement was the University
OF Virginia, a masterpiece, which,
while based on the classical, is
essentially original and appropriate.
and in its calm serenity reflects the
character of the designer. This
group Of buildings and their setting,
included in the design, are eminently
satisfying. They speak not only of
the past but OF the future. They
illustrate Jefferson's ideals for
democracy-liberty with simplicity,
the aristocracy of the mind. That
some have failed to catch this spirit
in their interpretations from identi-
cal models is no reflection upon him
or the Style.

Briton Reports Drug Cure
For Prostate Cancer
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-A drug-die-
thylstilboestrol - which, he said
would completely control cancer
Of the prostate gland and save 1000
lives in Britain alone, is reported by
DR.. E. c. Dodds Of the University OF
London.
DR.. Dodds told the current session
of the council Of the British Empire
Cancer Campaign that experiments
with the drug, first tried in the
United States, have been complete
ly confirmed and that for the first
time In the history of mankind it is
possible to state that one form of
cancer (of the prostate) can be COM
pletely controlled and the patient
rendered symptom-free by the ad-
ministration of few pills by mouth
each day."
The drug has not provided a COM
plete control in the United States in
reports issued so far in this coun-
try, and is not a cure for all cases
OF prostate cancer
1t is not new drug. 1t is a sub
stitute for a female sex hormone
and usually is more potent than
the real hormone. In the United
States 1t has been used as a sub
stitute for castration in the treat
ment Of prostate cancer.

DOUBT
CHAPTER IX

She looked out at the Jap fighter over the sights of the .50-caliber machine gun. He was coming in from above again, but not out of her range.
 She heard someone shout be- hind her, What are you doing?" She did not answer. Her brain was focused on the Jap plane. The voice came into her consciousness again. Let me have that gun.
 It was too late. Beth had the Jap where she wanted him. She let him have everything the gun could give long, blasting burst that was capable of ripping apart any fighter plane 1t hit.
 Beth was vaguely cognizant that something 1t was a burst from the Jap's guns spattGred the For tress somewhere close to her. 1T she ever in her life had an inclina- ton to feel fear, now was the time Suddenly she was in the clutch of a deadly fascination at the scene before her eyes.
 The Jap sped toward her. but uow his guns were not spitting Was he going to crash the For tress? Beth watched him for the long, long split seconds 1t took for she Zero to sweep in closer. closer. closer Then, just as he seemed about to smash into the big Amer can plane, he disappeared.
 The Fortresss other gunner push ed Beth aside, not rudely, but roughly and hastily. He grabbed the machine gun. Then he watched, too, Tor there was nothing else to do The Jap was going down, following ais mate to the bottom of the sea.
 You plucky devil" the gunner said. You did it. You shot down Jap Zero fighter!"
 Beth turned toward the man on the floor
 we've got to do something for him she said.

Major Jackson reappeared. He worked with Beth on the injured man. Fortunately, he was only stunned - no bullet had hit him; he had been knocked out by con- cusson.
 The co-pilot was with them now, and he assumed charge.
 Beth was slightly dazed, now that the fight was over
 Lieutenant Carter, If you'll help us ." the copilot beckoned
 Yes, sir" Beth replied She had paused moment in her task of assisting and had looked blankly at the mans expressionless face. Helping was a matter of a quarter of an hours work. the reward of which was the grin of a revived gunner.
 We got through all right?" he
 Got 'em both" the other gun her said.
 Good boy. Good boy. swellr
 Sorry, Buddy, l cant take all the credit. Miss Lieutenant Carter here got the second one"
 Nothing like having useless woman on board, Is there?" the co-pilot said
 Gradually, the crew of the Flying Fortress relaxed, tension easing as the men swapped jokes while they checked the damage to the big ship. Beth had grown to new stature in their eyes, From now on, she was one of them
 The plane hummed steadily on, searching from It's height of 10000 feet until It found a tiny spot of island that almost matched the oceans color. From the air, this bit of land showed no sign of habi- tation.
 Skillfully, the pilot located landing field where Beth was cer- tain, just a moment before, that nothing existed except yerdant growth.
 "Camouflage, Major Jackson grinned. His glance had caught the surprise in Beth's Wide-open eyes. Enemy pilots would never guess we were here"
 Its it's wonderful Beth gasped looking around now at the signs of life and activity where only jungle had appeared as she looked down from the sky.
 This Major Jackson said, lis your new home"
 AS she stepped from the plane, Beth blinked the brilliant sum light out of her eyes So this was It. Here she would live. She had left the city just few hours be- fore, but already 1t seemed a mil. ion miles away.

Beth was taken to her quarters Her room with the luxury of an ajoining bath, was In the main headquarters building and only a few doors from Major Jackson's office. The office adjoining his was given to her for her work.
 Headquarters, a subterranean concrete structure, was approached through a bower of tropical green cry which completely hid mans path,
 Sorry to have to put you right on the doorstep of your job Ma jor Jackson had said as they walked over, but 1t cant pc helped. I can't put you In officers quarters you might not feel self conscious, but the poor men would. Your living quarters were designed as a lounge for officers on 24-hour duty.

There was the solution 10 the
crime in all its naked simplicity.

10--not 1920 10 Il! Brown
must have set his living room
clock an hour ahead, thus his
wife's best friend, IN all SINGER
ity, would testify that he was IN
his home shortly before IL.
But the alibi, established by
the radio, was now smashed by
the radio
Brown was charged directly
with having premeditated his
crime; the officers substantiated
their accusation with the fact
that he had the blood of his
unfortunate wife on his hand
kerchief, that the gun he dis
carded had been found on his
route from the killing, and fl
hally that the police could prove
by his alibi witness that he had
faxed the time.
The self-assured prisoner
wilted and broke into tears. In
a flood of salty self-pity he con-
fessed how he wanted TO get
rid of his wife because she frus-
trated his desire for other
women. How he had set the
clock ahead an hour and then
suggested that his wife invite
her girl friend over so he could
establish his alibi. How he
returned right after Flora Wes=
son left and prevailed upon his
wife to dress up and go out for
a good time.
Later, when the unsuspecting
Lucy got out of the car at his
command, he shot her down.
After the crime he sped toward
the military reservation where
he knew there was a constant
motorcycle patrol, and arrest
for speeding was almost a GER
tainty. He had been sure,
Brown concluded, that he had
committed the perfect crime.
