TN the Emergency ward at Belle
l vue Hospital, a business-like
doctor spoke to Derrie.
'sThere appear to be no broken
bones, young lady. but you've had
a nasty shock. 1t might be better
for you to remain here for awhile
under observation"
Derria struggled erect. II tell
you I'm perfectly all right and
I've no intentions Of staying here
any longer"
She grabbed phone and put
a call through to Sarah.
Only a few minutes later. she
swept in.
well" -Sarah's voice and man
ner were belligerent--"for get
ting yourself into trouble. you're
way ahead of the crowd. First
you had me nearly frantic when
you didn't come home from the
Zodiac, then your Office tells me
you're back and you call up to
say you're in Bellevue Hospital.
What greatness are you planning
next?"
She sat down on the edge of the
bed while Derria quickly related
everything that had happened.
Sarah, I've just thought of
something. We've agreed, l think.
that someone doesn't want me
around any more"
Sarah looked at her suspicious
ly. THAT" she replied. seems
quite evident. So-?"
$50 since they've failed, they
may try again. To do that, they've
got to keep tabs on me. You can
bet your bottom dollar they traced
me to the hospital, and probably
have someone down the street
now, waiting to see what hap
pens"
well, you don't need to sound
SO happy about it." the other re-
piled.
''But don't you see?" Derria
went on, becoming excited. "This
may be our chance to get back at
them. Come on-I'll explain in
the taxi. / only hope it works. !"
$50 do l." Sarah Murzon re-
sponded fervently.
Once inside the cab, Derria
leaned over to speak to the
driver. She held out fve-dollar
bill.
He eyed it suspiciously. Whats
that for, LADY," he asked.

me. Don't worry; it won't get you

Within few minutes they

The procession crossed the in

The patrolman who had brought

It's crazy set-up. Sarge. This

gave the latter a shove forward.
Claims he tried to. run her down

into trouble. When we pull away
from here, don't drive too fast,
and keep looking to see Il any
one Is following us. II there is,
be sure they don't lose Us.
The driver raised his eyebrows.
Don't lose us? That's funny"
Never mind. I'll tell you what
to do then. "
He shrugged. .O.K. You're the
boss"
The cab swung away from the
curb. Derria sat well back in a
corner so that she would not OBJ
struct the rear view mirror.
They had gone perhaps q block
when Derria saw the driver tense.
You're right" he said without
turning his head. Some guy
wants to play tag. What next?s
Don't do anything foolish,
Sarah warned. She had been 80
quiet that Derria had almost for
gotten her.
Don't worry-this time / don't

"This'n depend on how well you

to make a sharp turn down some
street that has police box around
the corner. You'll have TO be fast
when you do it. so that you're
ahead of him, and the minute
you've made the turn. pull up.
The last novel; be up to you.
Get him stopped near the police
box. Make plenty Of commoti0n
when you do"
'I'll do the best I cam" be re-
piled. And he proceeded to con-
centrate on his driving.
Hold on" the driver warned.
Swinging around the corner with
no perceptible slackening of speed,
he slammed on the brakes. The
pursuing car came into the turn
very fast. Going into a wide skid,
tires screaming, it came to a stop
with one fender against the lamp
post almost directly across from
the police box. rs
Derria's cab darted forward,
cutting off the last avenue of es-
cape.
The driver of the sedan slowly
climbed out, shaken by the sud-
den turn of events. whats the
big idea?" he clustered. "You
trying to kill me?"
Derria spoke quickly to Sarah.
That's the man that tried to run
me down. I'm sure of it. I'll make
him wish he'd never tried it be-
fore get through with him"

Places For Peanuts

About two-thirds of the million
tons of peanuts produced yearly
on about 4 million acres in the
South goes into candy, sailed nuts
and peanut butter. The rest is
crushed for peanut oil OF used in
high protein feed for livestock.
But peanuts have a future in
industrial products as well as in
food and feed, US. Department OF
Agriculture chemists believe. The
protein of peanuts may be used
in making ~adhesives, paint, fiber
for use in fabrics and in sizing
paper, research at the Southern
Regional labratory at New Or
leans has shown. Peanut protein
makes good adhesives for book
bindings. boxes and plywood for
example. It may be used in max
ing inexpensive cold-water paint.
It can give paper the glossy finish
needed for high-quality printing.
The chemists also have used It in
making a fibre with many out
standing qualities for use in fab
RIGS.

/ make house work less of a drug
! gerry. Individuality and attract
iveness in the home Ire also re-
cognized as important.
In determining whether a home
is adequately equipped, the pur-
pose of each room should be
known. The home as the center
of family life should provide am
pie equipment to carry on the act
tvities of the family, and some
provision should be made for
guests.
A home with small children
requires equipment not needed in
a home where the family is COM
posed of adults. Frequently no
distinction is made, and small
children have nothing built on a
small scale.
Childrens' furniture built on a
small scale is now available in UNI
finished pieces. There are small
dishes, knives and forks to suit
the child.
Chairs should likewise suit each
family's need.
There should be a big chair for
father, a comfortable cushioned
rocker for mother, a low easy
chair for grandmother and 50 on.
Adequate lighting is one of the
more important things to consid-
err. Even if kerosene lamps are
used, proper planning a eatly
improve home lighting. eaulng
lamps arranged by the Slde of
chairs should be provided.
A living room for entertaining
guests with plenty of chains, a
musical instrument and a few
good books is needed in every
home. Boys and girls especially
need such a room for entertaining
their guests.
A criticism sometimes heard is
that some farm homes have been
exploited by dealers to show ex-
pensive stoves, refrigerators, cleo
trio appliances and furniture.
Women not able to afford such
furniture do not always see how
less furniture, even old furniture,
could be made as attractive and
fit the needs of their families even
better.
More guides for buying home
equipment are needed. For ex-
ample, expensive electric ranges
are not always advisable.
Power companies of Mississippi
offer reliable assistance in select
ing equipment. Help may also be
obtained from home demonstra-
ton agents.
