small Persian restaurant.
Only an hour before the city had
seemed an exhilarating schergo.
Everything had moved swiftly and
Paige had liked IT, 1t left her less
time to think. But now she was
aching with fatigue. Her short din
ner dress OF shining black bugle
beads seemed heavy as a suit Of
armor. For that matter, so did her
dinner hat Of weightless black
tulle. II was a tiny cloud Of q hat,
the work of an inspired and sx-
pensive milliner.
Would you mind" she asked
Restwick Carnes, 'if went back
to the hotel? I'm so tired"
Afterward she wondered why she
had bothered to ask. Evident in his
terse reply was proof that he didn't
care II she had never accompanied
him in the first place.
Paige did not know what time he
came in. Light filtered into the bed
room from a small lamp in the liv-
ing room. She watched him from
semi-closed eyes. He tossed his hat
and coat upon a chair, then went
10 the window and drew back the
draperies. For long time he stood
motionless Once he drew the back
Of his hand across his eyes, a saw
age gesture almost, then he was
again motionless, staring up at the
cloud-ridden sky.
Paige knew the thoughts tearing
through his mind. They had been
in hers only a few hours earlier
when she had done the identical
thing. She governed her breath and
tried so hard to feign sleep that she
actually fell asleep.
She awoke TO experience that
slow fright that grips a person
when they glimpse strange sur
roundings. She looked at her
watch, saw the wedding ring, and
suddenly remembered.
The bed opposite hers was I'M
touched. Softly she padded to the
doorway and peeped into the living
room. There was no sign of Rest

Again she looked at her watch.
II was almost IL. The boat sailed
at noon. She dashed back into the

FOLLOWING Or. cARVER

With the passing OF the great
Negro scientist. DR.. George Wash.
ington Carver, there naturally
arises a question as TO who may
bs able 10 carry on the work he
had 80 ably started The answer
seems to rest with a modest. 81
year-old Negro scientist, who was
Or. Carver's assistant and constant
companion for nearly eight years.
He is Austin W. Curtis, Jr,, who
bscams associated with DR.. Car
yer in 1885 and soon fell in with
the aims Of his teacher-to give
new Vigor to southern land, de-
pleted and sterile through years
OF ons-erop cotton planting, and to
aid it's people.
The two became inseparable and
the aged Negro scientist, who was
born OF slave parents and had no
living relatives, nicknamed his
young assistant baby.
You are TO me as dear little
Timothy was to Paul, who saw an
extension of his work" Carver
once wrote Curtis. Il see in you
an extension OF mine, and I am
tnexprsssibly happy over IT,"
With Carver's aid, Curtis devel-
oped q breakfast cereal and an
artificial leather from the common
pumpkin and made available low
cost paint from Alabama clay and
plants.
Curtis says SOD conservation, d.
versitieetion OF crops, q livs-at-
home policy. new uses and further
utilization OF farm crops and plants
win continue to be his goals.
Spending his time on. research,
Curtis will direct the George Wash
tugton Carver Foundation to which
the noted scientist gave his life
savings.
Even as = Lad. Curtis recalls. he
was interested In exploring plant
life With his father. who has been
director OF agriculture at West
Virginia State College for 43 years.
Work with soy beans earned for
his father the nickname OF SOY
Beans" and his son was soon
known 10 the student body as Lit
tie Soy.
Curtis was graduated nom Cor
nell University in 1882, majoring In
plant physiology. After making
SO for three months OF teaching.
he got a Job in q greenhouse at
50 a veek-with the privilege OF
experimenting.
After coming TO Tuskeges, be
first studied the magnolia blossom
and from II developed colors which
DR.. Carver used in painting land
scapes.
Earnestly and sincerely Lizzie
Soy is striving 70 carry On 60
periments started by his great
teacher. As pupils sometimes b.
come better than their teachers,
this promising young man may
some day achieve fame similar TO
that Of DR.. Carver. Even II he
onlv comes close he will earn a
mace in the history Of science for
DIR. Carver was so far ahead OF the
average that a wide margin OF &C
complishment remains 10 allow
room for honor and glory even
though his record is never equalled.

best friend-the dog-is proving
himself a better friend than ever.
Following the lead OF the Army,
a Marine Corps unit in Hawaii has
undertaken a Dogs for Defense"
program, designed to provide the
Leathernecks with both dog train
ers and sentry dogs. The Marine
Corps program is being develop
ed in cooperation with the Army,
whose Defense Dogs" program
already is we'll established and
proving OF vital Importance.
Sentry dogs are selected for
alertness, obedience, and agrees
siveness. Their three month in
tensive training period stresses
immediate obedience to commands.
The final phase of their training
for actual war service includes
two week period in which both
dog and individual marine sentry
become acquainted with each
other. The sentry is instructed in
proper handling and proper com
mands. and the dog Is taught to
obey his particular master. Great
Danes, German shepherds, and air
dales have been found to be the
breeds most adaptable for war
work. -,
The entire Dogs for Defense
program-which also includes the
training of dog trainers who are
chosen for their ability to handle
even the most vicious animals-is
under the direction OF DR.. Elliott

Eve Foundation Of Norristown,

Solomon Islanders
Never Cannibals

wAsHINGToN-UP- A head
anyone's head was once consid-
eyed q cherished possession in the
solomon Islands. but today moth
ing less than a Jap's head will do
According to ethnologists OF the
Smithsonian Institution, the Solo
mons gained a bad reputation as
the cannibal islands. But there
is little evidence that the short,
hairy Melanesian black men OF the
Solomons were ever actual canni-
balls. They hunted human beings
only because string OF human
skulls for a young Melanesian war
rior added greatly to his prestige
among the womenfolk.
Few people on earth are as I'M
familiar as the inhabitants Of the
Solomon Islands.
Although occasional traders and
missionaries have visited the arch
ipelago during the past 100 years,
only recently have ethnologists
gone into the dangerous interior OF
the islands and made personal con-
tact with the natives.
Natives OF the Solomon Islands
are, on the whole, comparatively
friendly to white men, the Smith
sonian ethnologist said. Only
one island in the group is an ex-
ception to this-the island OF Nal
alta.
Until recently. Malaita has been
a recruiting ground for laborers
to work on the near by Australian
sugar plantations. Although these
laborers proved to be excellent
workmen and learned to speak
English readily, they invariably re-
turned TO their island homes as
disguised with the ways OF civil
liZation as ever.
