A skier extends his arms to form a
pair of wings with the cloak. Instead
of taking off like an airplane. he gets
a braking effect. This enables him
to move down sleeper slopes than
would otherwise be possible. 1t

Dumsels in Distress

DamSels were distressed - as
usual-but for the most part more
credibly than in some other sea-
sons. Preferred in this category
were 1.-THE Moon Gate" by Carroll
Cox Estes; Journey to Nowhere"
by Nedra Tyre; "SOpnd an Alarm"
by Genevieve Holden; Invitation
To Murder" by Leslie Ford and
"The Benevent Treasure" by Pa
tricia Wentworth.
Among the veterans, Agatha
Christie gave her usual polished
performance featuring Miss Marple
in "a Pocket Full of Rye" Erie
Stanley Gardner stuck to his sue
cessful formula in "The Case of the
Fugitive Nurse" and "The Case Of
the Restless Redhead." Manning
Coles compensated for dropping
below average in "Au That Gilt

"Brief Candles" Frederic Browns
"His Name Was Death" was his
most suspensefu1 since "The

More Stundout Items

Other particularly entertaining
yarns:

more fascinating than the in

"Fatal in My Fashion" by Pat

the most timely background of the

ment of unveiling controversial
fashion collection.

Josephine Tey

This year, Josephine Tey was, in
effect, rediscovered. The Murder
Revisited Series," recognizing that
many mystery fans admire polished
writing, not only had lot to do
with widening the late Miss Teys
circle of fans but also imported
some other admirable puzzlers.
Evening star., 1954-12-05
BY Mirium Ottenberq

The traditional puzzle-enhanced
variously by chilling suspense, fuller
realization of character and occa-
sional wit-proved the most sue
cessful form of whodunit this year.
This could be the posthumous in
f1uence Of the late Josephine Tey,
four of whose books were brought
out in reprints and drew devoted
following.
There was also a trend among
long established mystery authors to
branch out into more serious-or
at least different-themes.

The American Pace

American authors generally pre-

"Three For The Money" by James

he Choicest

The most oft-beat Item, however
and our nomination for the
choicest whodunit of the year
was Marion Mainwaring's Murder
i'm Pastiche." This parody subtitled
Mine Detectives All at Sea" re-
counted singular voyage in which
nine well-known fictional sleuths
turned their joint attention to the
murder of a fellow passenger. This
tour de force was all the more
remarkable in that Miss Mainwar-
ing accurately satirized nine diff
ferent prose styles from the erudi-
ton of Michael Innes to the CUTS
and-gore of (who else?) Mickey
Spillane. This one shouldn't be
missed.

Highway Patrol
Warns On Safety

Cpl. p. V. Peterson of the Ohio

reminded motorists and parents of
these facts as he stressed the i'm
portance of child-traffic-safety ed
ucation. "A total of 4,400 children
under Is years of age were killed
in traffic last year throughout the
nation. This terrible child death
toll in itself would be reason for
serious thinking about child traf-
fic safety. But the number of ia
talities is only part of the picture, F"
he said. I'm addition, approximate
ly 225,0O0 children were injured
in traffic accidents in 1858, accord
ing to the National Safety Coun-
Gil"
Many of these injuries, he point
ed out, will leave the youthful vic
tins manned or SCARED for life.
There is no quick, easy remedy
for this deplorable situation on our
streets and highways" he said.
Instead, it will take a long
range program of public education
to bring about lasting improve
ment. Motorists must come to rea-
lie their responsibility for the

Rainfall Still
Below Normal In
Most OF State

Columbus Ohio - The Ohio
Division of Water reports that
precipitation throughout the State
generally was below normal for
the month of July. Practically all
of the rainfall during the month
came in the form of thunder
storms, as a result, varied widely
in amount from place to place.
The greatest amounts were re-
ported from the southern and west
ern parts of the state. Cincinnati
was the only index station report
ing rainfall in excess of normal
while at Wilmington a storm on
July Goth resulted in an amount
of rainfall about double the nor
NAL for the whole month.
The Soil and Water Conserva-
tion Research Branch of the US.
Department of Agriculture reports
that at the Coshocton Experiment
Farm, rainfall during the month
was almost enough to sustain nor
NAL growth on corn land but in
sufficient for meadows and pas
ture.
Mr.. L. L. Harold, Supervisor
of that project says that one rain
of Z inch and another of 8 inch
wet only the top soil with little
or no moisture added to the sub
soil.
The Division also reports that
streamflow at the index gaging
stations was much below normal
for the month and typical of
drought period conditions. At Co
shocton Experiment Farm flow
from almost all watersheds of less
than 7 acres has stopped.
Some streams in the southwest
ern part of the state had modera-
tely high stages for short periods
following heavy rains which af-
forded temporary relief at some
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-09-14

of the places where low flows
have been experienced for the past
several months.
Flow in the Scioto has been nor
NAL every month since April 1852
except in May 1858. Runoff in the
Scioto Basin in the period October
1858 through July 1854 was 3.17
inches as compared with a normal
of 11.7O inches. The river level at
both index stations as well as on
other streams in the state, while
not as low as was the case in the
drought of the 1905, is declining
at a rate that threatens to result
in the lowest daily stream flows
ever recorded.
Principal water supply reser-
voirs were at or slightly below
levels of the same time last year,
Ground water levels continued
to decline generally at about the
rate normal to this time of year.
This indicates that the rate of de-
cline this year is nearly equal to
the average rate of summer de-
cline.
The notable exception to this is
index we'll 1S0 in the upper Mill
Creek Valley. The monthly mean
water level in this we'll has been
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-09-14

higher each month since March.
In June and July this has been
the exact opposite of what other
index wells showed. In both
months the general trend has been
downward except for short periods
following intense storms and mod
erately high stages in Mill Creek
to which the water level in well
18O responded with rises of about
5 feet. It would appear from this
that the aquifer represented by
we'll 180 and similar gravel aq-
uifers connected with streams
may receive recharge at any time
of the year, provided there IS suf-
ficient stream flow.
Auuifers which are dependent
upon infiltration of water through
the soil and subsoil for recharge
such as are represented by the
other index wells, however, show
ed no response to the rains re-
ceived during the month as might
be expected, according to the
Water Division.
Rye for late Fall or early
Spring pasture is sown during

Many people today do not rea-
lie that traffic is the number-one
killer of children between tn cages
of one and ID and that traffic ac-
cidents kill more children in this
age group than a any one of the
highly-publicized childhood di-
seases," Cpl. Peterson stated.
