nv A i 1 IR ATIS TR er Wei Er -- in --- A HANDY POCKET TREAT SWEETENS THE BREATH! GREEN The by Stuart Martin GHOST Maud Barron awakes with a Ne monition of disaster. She hears padding footsteps. Rushing Into her father's study she finds him dead. Without questioning, Foster did as he was asked, When he returned to the room One-eye had turned the gas down to a pin-point. "Set down, doc." Foster took a chair and placed it opposite the mulatto. "What now?" he asked, "Ever heard ob de Voudoo, doc?" "You mean the secret worship that is carried on by the colored people? Yes, I have heard of it." "Good", "Why do you ask me this, One- eye?" "Mistah Barron was scared ob de Voudoo." "What has that to do with his death?" "Nuttin' at all." They sat for some time In the al. most darkness without speaking, but the mulatoo's eye was fixed on the tall trees in the middle distance, and his chin was propped in his cupped hand, "What are we waiting for, One- eye?" "One-eye, what do you mean by paying that Mr, Barron was scared by the Voudoo?" "If yo' heah at de Inquest dat Mistah Barron was killed by de Vou- . doo doan yo' believe it." "I do not believe that himself." "Nodder do 1." "Migs Barron did not hear a shot--" "De gun had a silencer." ) "You think someone killed him, One-eye?" "Sure." "But who?" "Wait." One-eye held up his hand for sil- ence and Foster sank back in his ehair. The minutes passed. Dawn was within reasonable distance," It was the darkest hour of the night, the hour when sleep hangs heaviest on ya living creatures, One-eye rose noiselessly to hig feet, his finger up- ra'sed. Foster arose also, his nerves tingling, He saw the mulatto's head thrust forward like the head of a dog on the leah. He followed the mulatto's gaze,' i he killed Out there in the darkness he caught a fleeting glimpse of a faint glimmer. It passed, but One-eye and he stepped to the window together. Both leaned out, and Foster would have cried out in his excitement had not One-eye's black hand been clapped over his moutd, No wonder Foster thrilled, for he saw something that stilled his heart-beati; and sent his hair on end. Within a few yards of Miss Bar- ron's bedroom window was the face of a ghoul, in which the eyes burn- ed like fire and the mouth grinned demoniacally, It hung in mid-air, this terrible thing, without body, without form; merely a face that was fright- ful in appearance, ghastly and ter- rorising. There it hung, twenty feet from the ground, without support, ghoulishly and disgustingly; and as it moved nearer the girl's window a long, thin, white finger, out of the darkness and void, appeared in front of the ghastly apparition and moved slowly, beckoning, beckoning! A cry of uncontrollable horror broke from Foster's lips, and instant- Jy the iron hand of One-eye fell upon him; 'and ag they gazed the terrible sight was blotted out as a chalk draw- ing may be blotted from a black- . board, swiftly and completely, One-eye's volce, hoarse and rasping, broke on the doctor's ears, "Dat's what killed Mistah Barron!"

Both men stood rooted to the spot as a cry of tense agony of soul start- led the night. "Help, Doctor Foster! Help!" It was Maud Barron's voice that was calling, -- ------ CHAPTER 111, "] SAW IT". - The call for help broke the spell that had fallen on Dr, Sidney Foster, He dashed to the door and next in- stant was rushing along the corridor towards Maud Barron's room. Others were already on the landing, and by the time the lights were on Foster was at the dgor of Miss Barron's room. He was knocking impatiently and calling. to her when he became conscious of some one at his elbow, He turned to see One-eye Uttock be- side him. They burst into the room together, Maud Barron. was lying on her bed, her gaze fixed in horror on the win- dow, The gas was turned full on, and standing by the bedside and hol- ding the girl while she did her bést to calm her nerves, was an elderly woman. She had wrapped a shawl round the girl's shoulders and was patting her hands soothingly, whis- pering words of comfort which the girl did not hear, Foster recognized Mrs. Gibbs, the elderly companion, who had also been Maud Barron's nurse, He had seen her often on board his ship while they travelled to and from England. As Mrs, Gibbs glanced up and saw 'the -gectn" oho: gfe vent to an ex- pression of relief, "I'm glad it's you, Doctor Foster. I thought perhaps you had gone back the poor dear." "What was {t?" demanded Foster quickly, while he noticed One-eye strode over to the window and was peering into the night. "I don't quite know. I sleep in the next room, and she banged on the wall and called out for me, I came in at once just in time to see a something by the window--that is, if I did see a something--and there was Miss Maud staring and screaming--" A hand was on his arm, He turned and saw One-eye gazing at him strangely.

Walkerville Clinic 'To Fight Cancer Toronto -- Establishment of a cancer clinic in the Windsor area was announced recently by Hon, David Croll, Ontario Minister of Public Welfare, The Ontario Government will supply the radium, valued at about $16,000, and the cancer com- mittee which has been functioning for the last 18 months in the Border Cities will arrange for the puchase of equipment and the appointment of a radiologist. The clinic will be located in Metro- politan General Hospital at Walker- ville, which already possesses some equipment. Decision to establish the clinic followed a survey of conditions at the border by Department of Health officials. .

WOMAN OPERATES | HUGE COAL MINE Graduate of U. U. Of Alberta Stepped Into Father's Place In the national aristocracy of business, Miss Jessie Hamilton, de- mure student of mining detail, , cupies a niche among the first flight. To prove woman's claim to a choice of professions, she stepped from a Manitoba country school intq the heart of Saskatchewan's coal fields and emerged Canada's first woman' coal mine operator. The hum of hoist engines, each' capable of lifting 500 tons of coal each day, penetrates the trim office she occupies on her vast holdings a few miles west of Bienfait,. Sask. . But Miss Hamilton, who stepped in- to the breach to carry on the work and plans laid by her father, ex- plains it was all a matter of neces- sity. The training she received before the death of her father, R, L. Hamil- ton, one of the early pioneers of this coal mining district, stood her in good stead for the career she was to adopt. She is a graduate in arts of the Unjversity of Alberta and al- so attended the University of Mani-| - toba. For a time she taught school at Mile 214, south of Churchill in northern Manitoba. Keenly efficient, Miss Hamilton came not alone by right of heredity but by a succession of achievements that rank her as a leader in a man's vocation. Since the opening of the mine site, in 1926, there has been a continuous record of such achieve- ments in which the new owner has played no small part. Shortly after opening the new mine, thousands of gallons of water poured in on miners in the workings, Electric pumps were installed cap- able of pumping out 71,000 gallons each hour. New cutting and shear- ing machines were employed and other improvements carried out to make the mine on of the leading shaft operations in the field. Miss Hamilton is modest about it all. She does not like-the suggestion she is possibly Canda's first woman mine operator. She has sufficient confidence in the men working for her to accept the responsibility and undertake to master detail associat- ed with a sizeable mine. DRAMA FESTIVAL WILL BE KEPT UP Royal Charter For Organ- ization Issued By Cahan At Ottawa Ottawa.--To assure perpetuation of the Dominion Drama Festival after the departure of the Earl of Bessborough a Royal charter had been issued, it has been announced by Hon. C. H. Cahan, Secretary of State. The corporation will be un- der the name. of "the governors of the Dominion Drama Festival." The present Governor-General ini- tiated the festival three years ago and it has been growing in popular- ity each year. His Excellency was anxious that the festival be contin- ued and extended after his depar- ture. In a statement Mr. Cahan said that the charter was being issued as a memorial to His Majesty's silver jubilee. The charter recited the stimulation of .interest in and the encouragement of the dramatic art in Canada the festival had provid- ed. The charter gave.the new body owner to hold real and personal es- tate and to receive grants, It can- not hold more than $25,000 in real estate. Provision was made, the statement = explained, for appoint- ment of general and district officers, granting prizes and awards on such conditions as might be prscribed. The first governors would be nom- inated by the Gavernor-General and the annual meeting would be held each year at the time and place of the annual festival. At the first general court the governors would be divided by lot for one year, two years and three years, "Provision has been made that a copy of every by-law or regulation made by the governors for the gov- ernment of the festival and the man- agement of its affairs be deposited with the Secretary of State, who has power of disallowance. More Women Should Be Architects Women's lives are much more closely bound up with houses than men's, Why, then, do so few women "go in for the profession of architect? This question is asked by the London News Chronicle. Only 13 are wonien out of 102 ex- ° hibitors at the show of photogrdphs oc. designs for a conference hall, and models of work executed during the past three years by young archi- tects trained by the Architectural Association, Those in authority say women lack the physical stamina to stay the course -- only one woman to six men graduate each year, The woman who does succeed executes work indistin- guishable from a man's, Miss Elizabeth Scott, who, in com- petition with men, secured the de- s'gning of the Shakespeare Memorial | Theatre at Stratford-on-Avon, hows the | Marie Curie Hospital, and two coun- try houses. | Remarkable success in the field of | speculative building has been achiev-|" ved by Miss Frances Barker, a girl | architect, who graduated from : the school only three years ago.

"The day is not far distant when every Canadian, from the age of 7 years up, will. have his or her fin- gerprints on record at Ottawa and thus provide an infallible method of iddntification in cases of amnesia, accident, illness or death away from home," an enthusiastic supporter of the proposed bureau said recently, Great strides have been made in finger printing since Sir William Hereschel first established the method of finger print identification in India late. in the 19th century. Unfortun- ately, however, finger printing was for years used only as a means of identifying criminals. Thus it became associated in the mind of the average citizen with crime and he regarded + with horror its use for any purpose. Gradually, however, Canadians are becoming accustomed to the idea of finger printing for identification purposes. Prominent citizens of the Dominion have already used the sys- tem and the records are filed either at Ottawa or in the police identifi cation bureaus of their home cities. The United States is far ahead of Canada in this respect for thousands of "identification" prints are on re- cord at Washington in a special sec- tion reserved at the Bureau of Iden- tification headquarters in that city. Impetus was given recently to this practice in the United States when a recent kidnapping case was solved and the perpetrators jailed largely through the discovery of the finger prints in the lonely house the vie- tim was first removed to after his disappearance. Victims of accidents, amnesia or death have also been i quickly identified and relatives promptly notified when prints" were on file: p The uses of finger. prints for iden- tification purposes are practically unlimited. For instance, claimants for estates could be identified posi- tively and thus do away with the possibility of a clever usurper de- frauding the heirs of their just share. Finger print identification could also be made compulsory by insurance companies and other fin- ancial concerns which hand out thousands of dollars under the pre- sent system upon production of docu- ments that can be forged or stolen. SIMPLE MOVE Advelites of a national finger print bureau for Canada point out that the establishment of such a bureau would be a comparatively simple matter, It would be entirely separate from that of the police and would function only in non-criminal cases.

Many of our readers have done so and have been both surprised and pleased. A character delineation may be the means of reorienting your whole future, See the announcement following this week's article.) This week I am devoting my ar- ticle to dealing with several letters, and the. problems that they raise, be- cause I feel that many of my readers may have similar problems tg cope with and the advice rendered to these correspondents may be helpful to a wider circle. y + Miss J. T, says: "Is there some- thing wrong with me, or is it my relatives that are to blame? Several boy friends during the last year or two have become 'has-beens' because of interference from my sisters, Now I have really fallen in love with a very nice boy, and my sisters tell me things about him that make me wonder if he is as nice as he seems. I'm sending specimens of each of our writings, and await your advice," There is nothing intrinsically wrong with your boy friend, Miss J, T. He seems to be a straightforward, like.- able young man, You yourself are somewhat highly-strung, and easily fall in love--and sometimes, just as easily out again.

It is surprising that there are people like this, but the only thing to do Is ignore them, Mrs, H., whose identity must obvi- ously remain secret, tell me that she has recently become rather enamored with a young man who is staying at the same louse. She has. several children, and is, ostensibly at least, happy with her husband, but this af- fair has recently caused her quite a Jot of worry, as she says she is ap- parently falling in Jove with the young man..

Why jeopardize your happiness for a will-o' the wisp? Emily, a non.de-plume covering a young Toronto girl, writes to! ask why she doesn't make friends, Her handwriting tells me that she is re- rather bashful. My advice to you, Emily, is to cul- tivate more outside interests, Take a deeper interest in the things going on around you, and the people you meet, Show your interest in them, and you will find that you will gradually lose your sense of habitual reserve. Most people are just the same as you are, neither better nor worse, and it-is only in your own ming that they appear superior to you.

He will be frank, unbiased, sympathetic and- friendly. Perhaps you would like to know what your friends are really Ilke?

Of All Nuisances -- Abuses 'By Firm$ Soon To ; Be Curbed * London, Ont--A complete. survey of all places of business using sec- tions of business street for repair work, storage or any other purpose has been ordered by the city couneil, with" Ald. Archer, chairman of the property committee, filing a protest against conditions. The chairman admitted that the city should not tax firms tor using the streets, since there are no by- laws or provincial regulations giving a municipality power fo give any such concession, but he asserted by- laws could be enforced preventing this encroachment. The city engineer and city archi- tect will have a summary ready in the course of another week or two, when it is expected some action will be taken to remedy the situation. 'Scores of complaints have reached civic authorities about conditions described as "nuisances." : Ald. Archer referred particularly to certain coal companies following the practice of dumping fuel outside of the street line, He asserted t the streets were not meant for that purpose and something should be done to check it. The Ontario Municipal Act has caused much confusion 'over this situation in municipal circles for some years, One of the greatest problems has been in dealing' with. . gasoline stations and the erections of pumps on city property. On sev- eral occasions in past years the coun- cil 'has not interfered with instal- lations when there were no objec- tions, but they received legal advice they were powerless to either grant or refuse applications. - However, when the new survey is complete it is understood that if the use of streets is continued to carry on private business that the full rights under municipal law will be exercised and possibly new legisla- tion sought to strengthen the city's hands.
