course, that Faust" is as creaky

Dutch Actor Philip Dorm was
required to play a harmonica in
"a "Gaunt Woman" scene. When
the director asked if he would
need an instructor. Dorm replied
by skillfully playing a passage
from "Rigoletto."
Everybody in Holland learns

Development Board Asks Minerals Info.


 Juneau-An increasing inter- est in certain minerals occurring in Alaska is being expressed in the United States, it is reported by the Alaska Development Board.
 Prospectors, miners and others who know of titapium, beryl- Hum, cryolite, mica and mona zite sand deposits are urged to write the Board giving particu- lars as to grade and extent of the deposits. The information will be relayed to interested con- cerns who have written the De- velopment Board.
 Ore containing from 10 to 12 per cent beryl sells for $25O per ton, or 10 cents per pound in 100-pound lots. Monazite sand, likely to be found in old placer sands, sells for about $2O0 per ton.

 people have for any reason not
 gone to church. but more especi- ally, it will be heard by Episcopal
 congregations seated in their peWs in parish churches from coast to coast, Canadian border to Mexican border, by means of radio sets and loud speakers set up in the churches. It will come at a specl- fled moment in the Sunday morn ing service. and will reach an ex- tremely high percentage of the church's total membership of more than million and half Even tiny isolated places where radio station is so distant that reception is difficult will be provided with electrical transcriptions of phono- graph records, so that their people too, may hear the Presiding Bishop tell of the plans for meeting the needs and opportunities which clamor for Christian action, and with which Episcopal leaders be- lieve the whole church will be in- creasingly concerned.

Episcopal Church Institutes, Great Educational Plan

All through the Episcopal Church, led by trained and experienced clergy and laymen, church mem- bers are learning to know and un- derstand the work of their Church in missions overseas, missions here in this country, in Christian educa- tion and other church activities. It is believed that such a universal educational plan has never been put in operation on such large scale in church history. The idea back of the Episcopal plan is to assure that members know, and are interested in a program Of ex- pansion jn practically every phase tf the church's work so that they will want to share in it, and will support an increased budget mak- ing it possible.
 Through January the study in parishes in all parts of the country concentrated on Episcopal missions overseas. In February the study topic was "knoW Your Church's Work at Home" It considered the little urban and the little country side church; work with special groups such as American Indians and parts of the 12,000,O0O Negro population; the great task of Chris tianzing rural America, keeping in the Christian way the thousands of young men and women who are finding a new world away from home attending colleges and uni versailles; caring for the spiritual needs of the men and women in the nations armed forces on land and sea and air; ministering to the suffering in mind and body in vet erans' hospitals; and resettlement of displaced persons from European areas suffering from the results of war.
 The educational campaign will continue to Mar. 12, on which date

and out again through second entrance in
Great Russell Street. He half walked, half ran
until he was level with the British Museum
where he found another taxi which he took to
Aldwych. He paid off the driver and Owed
westward into the maze of small streets near
Covent Garden. Eventually, after turning
and twisting for ten minutes, he turned south,
crossed the Strand and walked straight into
the Tivoli Cinema.
Fast walking had made him breathless, and
he sat in balcony seat, relaxing gratefully
in the comfortable darkness. The chase had
put feeling of urgency into him. If Hartman
were after him, it would be wise to disappear
for while until he had had time to warn the
police and see if they would act on his vague
information. There was certainly no point in
making sitting duck of himself by staying in
London. He was sure that he had lost his pur-
suers this time. Unfortunately, however, his
money, his passport and his pistol were back
at the fiat - which they would inevitably be
watching. He wanted to get out of England.

his livelihood, if possible, but that he could
not do without his passport.
DAVID stared blindly at the screen for more
than an hour, thinking hard. The more he
thought, the more it became apparent that
he had to risk going back to the fiat. Not only
the passport, but money would be necessary
if he were to disappear. Most of the money
he possessed was in the fiat - in notes. So
was his checkbook, although his bank account
was slim enough to make the checkbook rela-
lively unimportant. Suddenly he felt wildly
angry. Damn Hartman! Damn him for hav-
ing cars and men to hunt him down.
He decided to waste no time and to go
straight back to Kensington Road. After all,
it was busy block, with porter on duty,
night and day. He could hear the woman
next door shrieking at her husband for half
the hours of any day, so presumably she
would hear the commotion if he were to be
attacked by someone lying in wait Middleton
stood up and started to leave his seat. Some
thing prompted him to turn his head to glance

behind him. There were three white faces

HEN he knew that the man was not head
less. No, not headless! 1t was Jenkins, too
black to be seen in the obscurity. Middleton
caught his breath. How had Jenkins managed
to follow him throughout his twistings and
turnings? He remembered that Jenkins had
been born in the jungle. He shivered.

A taxi cruised along close to the curb.
Middleton held up his hand and jumped in.
''Tottenham Court Road" he said through
the drivers partition. Then he craned his
neck to look out of the cabs back window. A
black car appeared from the turning leading
out of Lowndes Square. 1t halted momen-

The taxi, a new one, accelerated. jenkins

a cigarette. He'd have to watch himself.
Hartman was up to something. So what?
Watching himself came as second nature. He
had been practicing for six years of war and
four years of not very peaceable peace.

breath. He went straight to the bathroom.

just outside the door. To use it, a man would
have to lean away from the mirror.

ease, just like the man on the blinkin' flying
trapeze. He snickered, his immense jowls
quivering with delight. The fat, beringed
hands pulled out twelve four-ounce cartridges
of plastic explosive and unwrapped them.
He started to knead the deadly stuff
into malleability and, while he was doing so,
amused himself by modelling grotesque little
heads - gargoyles. devils. Samuel Dealxin
liked to think of himself as an artist.

walked swiftly into bar beside the cinema
