THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., AUGUST 5th, 1937. Try Salada Orange Pekoe Blend "SA1ADA TEA TERROR MOUNTAIN By MADELEINE SHARPS BUCHANAN Three bandits seize a transcontinental bus, and force the driver to guide it up a mountainside to a lonely log shack. They want a valuable secret formula believed to be in the possession of one of the passengers, Finley Trump. To add to the sinister situation, a raging forest fire, creeping up the mountain, traps the group. The first night, one of the bandits is mysteriously strangled with his own bandana, and the next night, a second one meets the same fate. Then, Finley Trump is found strangled, and it is discovered that Kenneth Jenkins, browbeaten little man, has disappeared. Meanwhile, Miss Tulsa Jones, school teacher, has been doing some private detective work. And young Dr. Nick Strand and May Lawrence, pretty nurse, have found •iin: to become engaged. CHAPTER VIII Breakfast was a hit-or-miss meal. No one had any appetite, each thinking that it might be their last meal. But everyone made an effort'to eat --except Mrs. Jenk;ns, who still was asleep- "We gotta rouse ourselves," Jim Somers told Red Doyle, "We're get-tin' so murder don't mean a thing. And that's bad. We've hardly asked a question about old Trump. One "Well, Jenkins is gone--let him shoulder it," said Doyle shortly. "He just beat it," shrugged -the bus driver. "He's no murderer. But say--did you know the cash the bandits took from us is gone? It was in a leather case under the pile of guns. Now the case has disappeared. Do you suppose little Jenkins grabbed it before he beat it?" "And strangled Trump on his way?" said Doyle, suddenly interested. "Trump saw him stealing and couldn't strangle a fly! Maybe he took the money, but he didn't kill Trump-" Just then, Tommy Archer came running into the house, breathless and excited- "He's out there in the road." he gasped. "I seen him. He's 'most dead, all black and his clothes are burned--gosh, he's a sight!" Doyle seized the boy's arm. "Who's a sight?" he snapped. "Mr. Jenkins! I was walkin' down the road, and there he was!" Doyle and Somers rushed out, to find Jenkins lying unconscious, a sohrt distance down the road. They carried him back to the house, laid him on his cot, and called Strand- "Can't talk to him now," was the doctor's order, after he had done what he could for the little man. "I can't say yet whether he will pull through. But there isn't a thing on him which could have belonged to Finley Trump. Not even a cent of money." "And he had no bag when he beat it," said Amelia Bangor. "He didn't have a thing in his hands." Miss Tulsa Jones felt her excitement growing, but she said little. May remained to watch over the sick man, while the others dispersed. The men walked about aimlessly, smoking. Tommy stood in the kitchen doorway with an important eye on the bound Stutter. Amelia Bangor sat in the living room, twisting her hands and biting her lips. Mis Jones, who sat near her, saw an apple on the table and suddenly tossed it to Miss Bangor. "Eat that," she advised. "That'll give you something to do." As Miss Bangor obediently munched the apple, Miss Jones sat very still, looking out the window. Dusk was falling when Miss Jones stole into the bedroom where Mr. Jenkins still lay unconscious. May sat near by, dejected and weary, her curls damp on her brow. "I'd like to do a little exploring," whispered Miss Jones. "Help yourself," chrugged May. "But don't talk." Mis Jones didn't talk. She went about her search quietly but thoroughly. And in one of Finley Trump's suitcases, she found a newspaper clipping upon which she pounced. She studied it for a long time. Then, with a secret smile, she thrust it into the bosom of her dress. She found Jim Somers standing outside when she went out presently for a breath of air. 'I'd rather die fighting than go out like this trap!" Red Doyle Tommy. SIR*" ' ' he said. "Rats i d the road with reach us until morn-ciedr heard a plane but it couldn't do any good if it flew over us, except to take news to the press." "Hard to see a plane m this red haze," muttered Somers, gazing upward- "And I'd as lief not see one." "It's the devil, just waiting like this," groaned Doyle. Miss Jones watched his restless pacing. "If it will make you feel better," she said, "it's my opinion we're going to get out of th's. The murderer knows it. The murderer has known it almost from the start." "What have you got up your sleeve?" demanded Doyle. "There is a way out, or Finley Trump would be alive at this moment, and none of our money would have been touched. It wouldn't have mattered" As she spoke, May appeared in the Done In Four Strands of String--A Laura Wheeler Jiffy Set JIFFY CROCHET PATTERN 1532 This--the newest in crochet--inexpensive--quickly made in one or two colors (the leaf border contrasting) adds beauty to your home.

Salaried Midwives Britain's Attack On Maternal Mortality SOUTHAMPTON.--A comprehensive service of salaried midwives as a first-line attack on the problem of maternal mortality is announced by Sir Kingsley Wood, Minister of Health. The service, which will be launched August 1, is designed to secure for every mother, whatever her circumstances, the help of a qualified midwife, and also greatly to Improve the status and conditions of the midwife profession. Although these and other steps have been necessary in order that motherhood might reach a high level of safety, Sir Kingsley said the number of women who died in childbirth has been relatively small. He said the young married woman could be told with confidence, that if she is a normal, healthy woman and will take the ordinary and sensible precautions advised by her doctor or the ante-nat alcentre, there need be doorway of the house, suppressed excitement in her face. "Mr. Jenkins is about to talk!" she announced. "He knows who the murderer is!" (To be Continued) College Has Course For Hotel Chefs Muct Be Able To Prepare Table d'Hote Dinner, Serve and Profit TUSKEGEE, Ala.--Ability to prepare a table d'hote dinner, serve it properly and make a profit on the meal will determine the grade of a number of students at Tuskegee Institute. Practical knowledge of foodstuffs, their preparation and serving is the aim of "in-service" hotel cooks and chefs taking the institute's short course in commercial dietetics. Examinations consist of a series of dinners divided in three projects: a la carte, table d'hote and cafeteria. The examination room is Tuskegee's cafeteria where 3,000 meals are served daily. A hotel manger, W. T. Wilson of Montgomery, Ala., started the idea of a school for cooks and chefs when he mentioned southern hostel men had difficulty in getting good cooks. Dr. F. D. Patterson, president of the institute, added a three-year course in commercial dietetics to the college curriculum. In all, 56 students were enrolled. But the short-course was also. added so cooks already in service on hotel jobs might obtain training. A New Jersey hotel manager drove to Alabama in a station wagon to get six Negroes who will work in his establishment. Other graduates of the school have been placed in Alabama, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, Ohio and Michigan. The faculty this summer includes R. G. Booker head waiter of a Rich-lond hotel, and Chef Carson Gulley of the University of Wisconsin. Dog Problem Dog o\vners are by no means all one side. Some of the bitterest otests reaching the newspaper offices have come from persons who always have kept a dog.

Morgan THIS JAM IS A PEACH It's hard to believe that peach time is here already and that should be a warning! It wasn't very long ago that we started with strawberries, the first fruit of the season and came along down the whole line of summer fruits till we have arrived at peaches and grapes. These are the fruits which herald the approach of fall, and that means that the jam and jelly season is just about over. To some people, this year's strawberries are but a memory, but not to those smart women who have the goodness of the strawberries sealed safely in glasses and lined up in their jam cupboards--along with cherries, raspberries and currants. Don't pass by the rare treat of Ripe Peach Jam whatever you do! When putting up canned peaches, pickled peaches and spiced peaches, save some of the fruit--the ripest and most luscious--and treat yourself next winter to all of that fresh golden beauty and juicy succulence found in ripe peach jam. , It has no end of unusual uses. It makes a wonderful spread for necessary in jam and jelly making. By this modern short-boil method you no longer need to boil fruit and sugar down to concentrate the jellying substance in the fruit, because pectin is that jellying substance which has been extracted from a fruit abounding in it, concentrated and standardized ready for use. Apart from the goodness of jams and jellies made this new and modern way--apart from the grand color and quickness -- it's a sure method! You simply fellow the recipe--a simple recipe at that, and you're assured of success every time. No such thing as luck or the weather to be considere:!. You get perfect results every time--whether you're an experienced cook or just a beginner. Ripe Peach Jam 3% cups (13-4 lbs.) prepared fruit 7% cups (3% lis.) sugar 1 bottled fruit pectin. To prepare fruit, peel about 2Vz pounds fully ripe fruit. (To peel, put about, three peaches at a time into a colander and dip the colander down into a saucepan of boiling water for a minute. Be sure the water in the saucepan is deep enough to cover the peaches. This method loosens the skins, without softening the fruit and so makes the peachc* easy to then grind and pulp in a food chopper oij chop them fine. Measure sugar and prepared fruit, tightly packed, into large kettle, mix well, and bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard for one minute. Remove from fire and stir in bottled pectin. Then stir and skim by turns for just five minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Pour quickly. Paraffin hot jam at once. Makes about 10 eight-ounce glasses. If desired", about three teaspoons spice may be added to make spiced peach jam or if you are making several batches of jam and want an added bit of bouquet in one of them, you might crush a few peach pits and put them in with the fruit. That will give your jam a sophisticated almond note that many people like. Questionnaire Cora Wilcox Dreyer in the New York Sun. Could you answer in a quiz Where the Gulf of Riga is?

M others-in-Law Club Is Started AUSTIN, Texas. -- Five Texas mothers-in-law bade their jibed-at sisters throughout the United States to become members of the incorpor-1 ated "national association of mothers-' -in-law clubs," but Gene Howe wasn't on hand to cheer them. Howe, editor-publisher of an Amar-. illo newspaper, has been saying nice i things about mothers-in-law since 1934. That year he made the country t mother-in-law conscious by launching/ an annual celebration to honor allj such :-elatives, in penance for the, jokes he printed at the expense of his wife's mother, Mrs. Nellie Donald. Recently Mrs. Donald and four eol-i leagues were granted a charter for a corporation under Texas laws, designed to "preserve the American home." This ..as taking place while editor Howe was visiting his mother in Westport, Conn., according to Amar-illo sources. ^ Age of Flowers Affects Lasting NEW YORK.--The age of flowers when they are cut has some bearing on the length of time they will last in an arrangement. Just as bud roses last longer than full-grown ones, so any flower will last longer if cut shortly after it opens. A container should not only oe appropriate, but also hold enough water to sustain the number of flowers in it for 24 hours. Arrangements last longer in shaded summer rooms than in steam-heated winter ones. Strong I sunlight and draughts decidedly shorten the longevity of a flower arrangement. The proper care of flowers before using them in an arrangement need consume only a few minutes, but the effort will be repaid in longer enjoyment of the completed BLACKHEADS Don't squeeze blackheads -- dissolve them.
