"What was it you said about*Jim?" the girl insisted quietly. Hayward told her; frankly, brutally he repeated what he had previously said. Jim listened in silence. "Ig {it true?" Rose turned a strained, white face upon the Michigan Kid, "Most of it is. Not that about the killing of Thompson, of course. He ghot himself because he had lost the company money."

When the crunch of his footsteps had dled oul Rose inquired, simply: "Why did you do it, Jim?" Rowan answered carelessly: "Oh, I am just naturally a bad sort, 1 guess! No great amount of character. I did want money, and gambling was the easiest way to get it. «I don't mean that. Why did you come out here with father, the way you did?" "Well now, I'm not sure that I can explain unless it was because of that hunch I told you about," Jim manag- ed a splendid assumption of sincer- ity. "We gamblers play, hunches, you know. And say, it just proves there is gomething in them, "A mighty queer thing happened to- day, Rose. I didn't mean to tell you yet, but your father was right.

If you are using the whites of sev- eral eggs and have no immediate use for the unbroken yolks, put them in a cup or a bowl and carefully pour over enough water to cover, This will keep them from getting dry or crusty on the top, Halves of canned peaches or apri- cots, dotted with butter and slightly salted, broiled in a shallow dish un- til a delicate brown, are delicious meat accompaniments. Never wash the grid of your elec- tric waffle iron. Wipe with a clean dry cloth.

Housewares departments sell brushes especially designed for clean- ing waffle irons, Eggs are usually plentiful and less expensive in the early spring and may be a welcome change for an oc- casional main ccurse from heavier winter menus. Souffles are an at- tractive and highly nutritious main dish and may be varied in almost countless ways by adding different ingredients--flaked fish, mashed ve- getables, cheese--to the basic egg recipe.

In the second place, complete '"re- make-up" of an actress is necessary after every "cry". And, thirdly, the emotional~ strain, actresses claim, leaves them with such a "hang over" that they are unable to work he fol- lowing day. The film is held up--but wages are paid just the same.

Very soon they too hegan using this na- tive sweet and -have improved on the quality and methods of production ever since, A record season for the maple sy- rup industry was expected when the sap first started to run, but the warm weather in the latter 'part of March proved a set-back. However, the re- cent change in weather has started the production again, and the gener- al outlook is much better. 'Don't count on too liberal supplies, how- ever, get your supply of maple syrup as soon as you can, Canada, of course, leads in the production of this exclusively North American treat, so it's almost a tra- dition in many homes in this country to serve it when it first arrives on the market.

Coiffure For 1938 Is Custom-Buil See End of Platinum and Popu- larity of Brass Blondes Milady's coiffure will be '"custom- built" for 1938, style leaders conven- ing at St. Louis last week announced. At the same time, they predicted the end of "platinum" blondes and a preponderance of "brass" hued tresses for the year, ) Stani Mars, New York, president of the coiffure division of the National Hairdressers' and Cosmetologists' As- sociation, led those who foresaw the' new "brass" hair style, "The uplyend trend of hairdress is apparent," odd. ks for length, women will prefer about four or five inches for the back." Individualized Styles Marc Gartman, of Chicago, presi- dent of that city's association, ex- plained the "custom-built" coiffure. 'By custom hairdressing, we mean individualized hairdressing," he- said. "Beauty operators will spend more time studying their clients' hair be- fore they begin, examining texture, natural lines of growth the determin- ing what style best -fits the face." Gartman warned that "such care costs more than less thorough meth- ods," but claimed much better results would be obtained and home care would be easier.

Burrage to the presi- dency of the Massachusetts Horti- cultural Society. He sponsored the debut of the orchid and for ten years watched its upward career under his own guidance until the orchid be- came one of the best-loved flowers in any large flower show. Even the American Orchid Society came to Boston to give a show. Process of Cross-Pollenization Side by side with the great pink and white heads of the Cattleya, large as dinner plates, will be orchids whose blooms are not much larger than the head of a pin. More deli- cate hues of purer colors are never found than these flowers present. In this work of developing the science of orchid culture, Robert Doig, of 'the Burrage Shows, has- had the aid of his sister, who has become a special- ist in her particular field, that of taking the pollen from one orchid flower and placing it in the fruiting body of another, a process of cross- pollenization which is a means of hybridization that promises much for the future of American orchids.

Rest: The Only Cure For Colds Vaccines Or Drugs Are of Little Use, Says Specialist Sixteen hundred and sixty-seven Harvard students who lost T0 years of time in 31 months from c~mmon colds and respiratory Infections were cited- to the American College of Surgeons this week as proof that for colds and the like there is only one preventive and one cure--rest, The study was reported by Arlig V, B ck, M.D, of Boston. In the Stillman Infirmary at Hare vard the students were given every established kind of treatment, but onl complete rest in bed had much rea effect, Dr. Bock said. Bed for colds, he said, is the "common-sense" treat- ment that Hippocrates, father of - medicine, started nearly 2,400 years ago. "It saves," Dr. Bock added, 'time trouble and money." Caused By Fatigue In the Harvard studies, little evi. dence was found that vaccines against colds and respiratory infections are 'effective. Few drugs were potent. Fatigue not only -of body, but of mir * he said, is important in causing adults to catch cold. To avoid colds, he said, people must "live within the resources of 'their physical and nervous systems." They should be careful of chills, changes of weather, irritants in the air and contagion.
