THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., MAY 13th, 1937. Orange Pekoe Blend "SALAM TEA Love Huntress Bv H. GLYNN-WARD Claudia Townsend meets Dick Whalen at a hockey game in Seattle one night. Her interest in Dick in-fudiates Wallace Bornell, rich young lumberman, who wants her to marry him. To get Dick out of the way, Wallace offers him a job in one of his lumber camps in British Columbia. At the camp, Dick accident-ly discovers that Bornell's men are working stolen timber lands. He asks for an explanation, but Braddock, the boss, puts him off and next day leaves for Seattle. The following day Claudia stops in at Bornell's office, and, by chance, overhears Bornell and Braddock plotting to do away with Dick. She decides to go to Burns Lake, herself, to warn Dick. Braddock recognizes her on the boat going north, however, and he manages to reach the camp the day before she arrives. This might be awkward, but Claudia had come too far to worry about conventional difficulties. She went to bed and slept like a log, waking in the morning at the tattoo of the inn-keeper on the door to tell her the sleigh would be there in half As Whalen had done, Claudia left her grips at the inn and took with her only her mountaineering haversack with night-things, a small silver flask of brandy, and a sturdy clasp-knife that she carried with her always on outdoor expeditions. Taking up her skis, she climbed into the front seat of the sleigh. The driver looked at her with interest. Her brown felt hat fitted close to her head and turned back over the ears in two wings that gave her the look of a Mercury. She wore a red scarf, a short blown beaver roat- dark rorc".",nv kniek°rs and -boots up to her knees. Her dark eyes were alight with interest as she took in the vast immensity of the country and asked all manner of questions of the driver. The sun rose, turning all the snows about them to a rosy pink, and Claudia exclaimed at the beauty of it all. "?retty enough, pretty enough to look at," agreed the driver, "so long's a person don't have to be out They heard the jarring screech of the saw-mill long before they reached the camp. When the sleigh pulled up near the office-cabin Claudia was chilled through. The men about camp glanced at her curiously. Whom should she ask about Dick? But Braddock was waiting for her. He came out of the offijce, gave hed a smiling good-morning and asked what he could do for her. "I want to speak to Mr. Whalen. Is he here?" Whalen's out at work. He'll be back along about tea-time." Claudia got down out of the sleigh and followed Braddock inside. There was a roaring fire in the closed stove and she held out her hands to the warmth. "Is there no way I could reach Mr. Whalen now?" she asked. "Say," said Braddock with easy familiarity, "it sure must be important to bring you all this way to see him!" Claudia knew Braddock had recognized her on the boat. Did he suspect her of having overheard his talk with Bornell. If so, he was double- crossing her. She must find out where Dick was from someone else--and find out at once. "Young Mr. Bornell a friend o' yours too?" Braddock was saying. "That's like a pretty girl, to have two strings to her bow!" Claudia regarded him icily. "If you won't tell me how to reach Mr. Whalen then I must go and find someone who will." "Just a moment," said Braddock. "I'll be right back." He went out. "I don't understand why you should take it upon yourself to dismiss my driver," she said as Braddock came up. He feigned surprise. "Poor chap couldn't wait here all day. You said you wanted to wait for Whalen so I paid the driver and told him he could go. When Whalen gets back, you can go in with one of our teams. . . . Looka here. I'll go over to the cook-house and tell the Chink to fix you something to eat. He'll bring it over." She followed him out. "I'll come over to the cookhouse and get it." Anything to escape from this man and get ■* chance to speak to someone who might give her some information about Dick. "Ho, Ching!" she heard Braddock shout. "Ho there, Ching!" The Chinese came running from the kitchen door. "Get this lady a cup o' hot coffee and something to eat. I got to go across to the mill, but I'll be back in a minute." Claudia watched him make his way across the snow to the mill. If she went outside to speak to any body now he would see and inter-cent her at once. - i.e . ,n» Cwu ,T.,,v, yft. '.ul.-,.,« dlink up coffee, be hot!"-" The cook's kindly invitation recalled her to the fact that he had set food and drink on the table for her. She thanked him and began to pour out a cup of coffee. Suddenly it struck her that he might know where Whalen was. 'You know every man in this place, Ching?" "Sure, I know all. Missee look for someone':" "Yes," she said impulsively, "I'm looking for Mr. Whalen, do you know where he is?" "Oh, Missa Whalen. He one velly good man! He savee my life "Yes, he's nice. I know, but can you tell me where he is?" 'He go out in woods today, velly early in morning. Go 'long with Moliarty, they come get lunches to take, so maybe far 'way they go. Moliarty, he one velly bad man!" Claudia was horrified by what Ching told her. Somehow she trusted Ching. He had said that Dick was "one velly good man" so he was probably correct about the other man--Moriarty. And Dick had been sent out alone with him!" The words she had overheard in the Bornell office came back to her clearly. "Get rid of him somehow and quick," Wallace had said. "Easy enough, there's aplenty up there with a grudge against Whalen. Specially one fellow, and as it happens I've got something on him . . " This Moriarty must be the man Braddock h^d meant! (To be Continued) Design for Living Should Be Goal Of All Education Ever-Increasing Need to Direct Life Along Lines of Fitness and Influence TULSA, Okla. -- Education for the task of modern living was held up today as a goal of thought and action for the General Federation of Women's Clubs. "There seems to be," said Mrs. Roberta Campbell Lawson, national president, in her presidential address prepared for delivery to the yearly council meeting, "an ever-increasing need for education in living. "It is a need for the sort of education that will direct our living into the realm of calm and quiet self-analysis of our personal fitness and a checkup on the influence we radiate to those about us." The national president used that theme to direct the delegates' attention to the foremost matter before the federation, a resolution taking a stand on President Roosevelt's plan for reorganization of the United States Supreme Court. "Education for living would be a sham without real knowledge of the framework of our government," he said. Spring Fever I am yearning now for a summer day And a lonely woodland trail That leads me to a hallowed spot In a cool, sequestered dale Where the whisp'ring of a lazy stream Befits my wanton mood And bids me shed my worldly cares Ere I enter Nature's quietude. I love this enchanted valley, For 'tis a mystic, magic place Where bird-songs and echoes mingle And zephyrs and pines embrace. And blossoms of exquisite beauty Perfume the very sod, And I linger with deepest reverence, For I know that I'm near to God. Montreal. --E. Anne Pomeroy. "Don't Eat With Knife" -1837 Part of Deportment For Fair Sex of Century Ago LONDON, Eng., -- Have and manners changed considerably since the Coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837? A deportment handbook of that date, "Dedicated to The Fair Sex of Great Britain," makes amusing reading nearly 100 years after its publi- Miss 1837 had to remember that the good table manners were essential to social success. She was implored by the author never to "convey food to your mouth with your knife -- it is only to be used as a divider." The art of being a good listener was also included in a young lady's social education. Evidently there was nothing "so brutally shocking, nor so little forgiven, as a seeming inattention to the person that is speaking to y A debutante of 1837 was not encouraged to make casual friends. "Ladies usually have a proper sense of their own importance," one chapter states, "and therefore it is hardly necessary to say that if a gentleman presumed to recognize you in the street, from the circumstances of his having danced with you at a pub'ic ball, you will not return his salute, but will cleverly avert your head, so that he will receive due cognizance of your rebuke." Why Do Teeth Decay? Why teeth decay is still an unsolved problem to dentists. The search is being constantly carried to find some factor that may be held responsible but without any definite success. The most recent test is that made at Harvard Dental School where Dr. Paul K. Lorsch, instructor in operative dentistry, and Dr. Fred W. Morse, assistant professor of oral medicine, made a detailed study of 110 cases of children who came under their observation for caries or tooth decay. These investigators Woman's World Mair M.

Christie's Biscuits Ohere's a Christie Biscuit for every taste" found statistical evidence that boys suffer more than pirls^from tooth decay. Examination of ninety-eight cases showed that fifty-one girls, with an average age of 7.8 years, had an average of 8.1 cavities an individual, while forty-seven boys', with an average of 6.0 years, had an average of 13.7 cavities an individual. Twen;y cases including the five best and five worst among boys and girls showed that the high caries among boys average 32.2 and among girls 16.8, and in the low ci group the boys averaged 2.6 while the girls had no cavities. Heredity, diet and a large number of other factors were studied without finding any positive correlation with tooth decay. The only item that seemed to have any connection, as causes, were childhood diseases involving prolonged fever, the presence of eciduric bacilli in the mouth, and to a slighter extent rickets in early childhood.
