by a dark alleyway next to her

one was standing there in the

Maureen had hardly turned the
corner by the purser's office when
Shaun stepped out of the shadowy
alleyway, glanced swiftly left and
right, then opened the door of
Mameen's room and glided inside.
He reclosed the door. He had had
no more time than to take cover
when another man came in!
The second visitor wasted not
moment. He scooped up the green
necklace, inhaling sharply, moved
away, was about to turn, when:
What's the hurry, Leidler?" a
casual voice inquired.
In A wing of Maureen's mirror,

Il must sound like wishful
thinking when / say that you can
make your own sunshine but, be-
lieve me, it's a. easy a. turning on
your electric lights.
In fact, with one OF the sun-
lamps on hand you can make every
day q sunny day and every room a
sunroom, regardless OF outdoor
weather.
II you haven't tried one Of these
extraordinary sun bulbs you have
a treat in store for you. By merely
screwing a sunlamp into a regular
light socket and basking in its
beneficial rays, you can give the
whole family health building
Sunshine" Vitamin D.
One of the things you'll like
best is that at last you can have
your own private sun where YOU
want it-when you want 1t. Many
housewives whom l know take
their sunlamps along to the kitch-
en- so they can enjoy q sunbath
while they work.
It's not only an excellent health
habit to acquire but also q handy
beauty aid. In fact, If you can be
tanned by the sun. you can be tan
ned by the sunlamp and who isn't
anxious to keep q glowing summer
tan all winter long.
Dad, too, will like having q sun
lamp above the bathroom mirror
90 he can catch q little sunshine
while he shaves each morning.
Many families enjoy the conven-
fence of q sunlamp installed over
the bathtub Of in the ceiling. That
way, no member of the family is
tempted to neglect his daily dose
of Vitamin d.
sYou must remember, however,
that the intensity of the sunlamp
can be many times that of a mid
summer sun SO, naturally. you will
want to limit your first exposure.
Your exposure periods will have to
be based upon your own expert
ence with natural sunshine, but it
is imperative that your first ex-
posture be at a distance OF not less
than 80 inches for not more than
five or six minutes.
You don't need any special
equipment for these a m a z
bulbs. Just screw the lamp in your
bridge lamp (remove the shade so
it won't be scorched. OF course) or
in your gooseneck desk lamp. For
greater flexibility, you may want
to use one of the inexpensive
clamp-on-type holders or one Of
the many table or floor SRnlamp

When electrical starting and
lighting equipment for automo-
biles was first proposed, motor
car manufacturers were not fav-
orably impressed. They thought
the apparatus too complicated and
that it could not be practical in
operation. It was also pointed out
that mechonics and electricians
were two entirely different types
of men, and that even mechani-
cal experts could not be expect
ed to service electrical equipment
satisfactorily. This resulted in a
separate industry of manufactur-
ing automotive electrical equip
ment.
