I suppose it it hadn't been for the war, I should be making chicken coops to- day instead of motor cars. The war gave me my chance." Sir 2cter's eyes glistened. His heart missed a beat. Was he about to hear another story of graft? Remembering his own profiteering he felt vaguely uneasy. No, this man was younger, he couldn't have been mixed up with that, He was little more than forty now, "I wa, batman to one of the finest chaps who ever went out," said Borde slowly. "We were on the Somme to- gether in 1915, and I fetched him in. He left me three hundred pounds. It set me up in my garage, gave me my start. So you see. .,.. n "Precisely," the other fidgetted.

He realized there was something else in life than big bus- iness, 'Got .0 get home old man" heard that dozens of times but haa never heeded. Now remembering Sir Peter's vis- it he wondered suddenly if. his answ- er might have been different if.... There he smiled. He had never time to think of marriage. Besides, he was young yet, only forty-one. Plenty of time for that sort of thing. Perhaps next year, when hé'd carried this new model through. The baby Multiple that was going to revolutionize mot- oring, he would think about it. Crossing the road, he frowned as he saw mud-splashes on his boots, he paused for a minute beside the flow- er woman, looking impatiently for a "boot-black. ' Feathery yellow mimosa, purple vi- olets, a great bank of tightly packed wallflowers met his eye, and for a moment or two, Michael Borde for- got the hurrying crowds, booting tax- is and London mud. Mimosa meant nothing to him, but the brown gilli- flowers reminded him suddenly of a Warwickshire gardens. He thought of the cottage with notice, "Teas Pro- vided," where in his cycling days many a time he had eaten new-laid eggs and thick bread and butter, and looking out at the garden, had dream- ed of the time when he would have a little place of his own. That was before the War. "How much?" : He turned abruptly, bought a bunch, broke off a ispray which he thrust-in--his button hole, gave the rest back to the flower woman with a shilling, and crossed the road as the signals changed. "Lor' lummy! Some folks is queer. Not arf' she said, and sat on the shilling for luck, "One of them poetry blokes, I dessay." . Before the war! Curse it. That was the second time to-day he had remem- bered those days. He dismissed mem- ories as he strode on, yet the scent of that bit of wall-flower remained, whilst he ate his dinner in the quiet little restaurant; where food was good, and they did not worry you with music as you ate, "Ah-h! that looks good," he said, squeezing lemon juice over his oyst- ers, then, in that rather delicately fa- stidious way of his dried fingers on his napkin and smiled. Terribly hungry he was, but he could wait, as he waited for most things. Only when the old waiter had retreated, did Michael Borde begin his meal. . : Scent of brown gilliflowers again. .

He liked to have everything cut and dried. CHAPTER 2--OVER THE HILLS A week later having left the chauf- feur to his tea, Michael Borde gazed down at the Vale of the Red Horse. Away westward, lay the hills of Wor- cestershire, beyond, these, on a clear day, so it was said, one might view the mountains of Wales, but to the North, in a haze of smoke, lay cradl- ed the manufacturing towns of the Midlands. It was towards" these that he looked now.

Thi. hall was establish- ed in 1920 by the council of the uni- versity as a memorial to the painters and sculptors of the United States. The bust of Ward was done by Herman A. MacNeil, one of Ward's favorite pupils, the Pearce bust hy Paul W. Bartlett, designer of the pediment on the House wing of the Natignal Capitol. An address on the work of Ward delivered by Herbert Adams, dean of contemporary American sculptors, characterized him as the bulwark of Americanism in sculpture. The work of Ward is known in this city through his Washington, on the steps of the Subtreasurery Building; SHakes-- peare, on the Mail in Central Park; Horace Greeley and William E. Dodge Beecher at the Brooklyn City Hall. Pearce on the, contrary spent most of his time in France. He is known for his north wall of the Library of Congress; "Meditation" in the Metro- politan Museum and for two canvts- es in the Chicago Art Institute. Monkey Fur For Smart Accessories Tunics and trains are frequently trimmed with monkey fur, and it is used in various ways as hat trimming, One couturier makes an accessory grouping of monkey fur hat, purse and glove-cuffs. : Several species of the animal are employed by fashion and their colors run from jet black through the greys, browns and on to: the rarer pure white.. The feet and ears are some: times used as trimming in the same way that Dilkusha used tiger claws for fastenings. In both instances the feet grab little bone buttons. This is where variety enters-and ingenuity is allowed to run rampant. Buttons fashioned like peanuts should be used with the ensemble trimmed with mon- key fur and feet, and the ears used as perky trimming for a little round red felt hat! . fee Not One Millionaire BRISBANE, Queensland-- In the Latest statistics show that only one On the other hand, Queensland TORONTO mouth £3 " lssue No, 22734 claims the biggest average savings ==, bank deposit per head of population in the world, town of Shakespeare's; or ancient Ke-] Rooks cawed in the elms, children: | peace is to get the British Empire Delightful Quality \ 710 F resh f yom the Gardens Are You Guilty ? The Chatham Dally News raises a nice question in regard to courtesy on the highways. In 'hese days. of when passing other motorists at night a driver should dim his lights mom- entarily so that the glare be remov- ed. The News relates the experience of a Chatham woman motorist while returning from Tcronto, thus: As she was passine through the district betwéen Toronto and London she found 'the trafiic heavy. Being a careful driver, driver, she consclentionsly Adim- med her headlights when she ap- proached other vehicles; but to ber surprise and annoyance there was practically no return of the courtesy, As soon as she neared the boundary line of Kent County she found a difference, Other motorists, out of deference to her. own signals, dimmed their lights, and travelling was much more safe and pleasant, = The Chatham paper asks: What Is the explanation? It may be that many people who find 'themselves away from home surroundings fergat their manners. It is a weakness of human nature that permits indifference to- ward others when outside the steady- ing influence of friends and acquaint. ances. Strangers inconvenienced by this spirit may never be seen again; s0 why bother about courtesy? Night drivers cannot readily te identified, and this may - induce carelessness -about-ghserving the amenities of the road. THis 1s not a comforting thought, but it may account fcr the Chatham lady's experience. Surely such offenders would be in the min- ority, As the News puts it: "Most people have more pride than to flaunt discourtsey. Then why not be as courteous in 'the dark as ia the light?" } Courtesy is desirable everywhere and at all times; but especially 2n the highways under resent condit'cns of trafic. For years the Ontarlo Motor League and other organizations pro- moting safety on the roads have been urging auto drivers to have cousider. ation for "the other fellow." Happily, the majority of drivers are so aispos- ed ;but always there will be the sel- fish, careless incividuals fer whom trafic regulations are a nvpulsance; and evidently many of these were on the highway between Toronto and London when the Chatham lady was returning home. It is not news that in good old Kent County she found highway courtesy an establiched habit.--Toronto Globe, Electric Lights Used : 50 Years in Chile Santiago, Chile. -- The Golden Jubilee of electric lighting - in Chile passed almost without notice.

Two operations for the transplant- ation of healthy parathyroid tissue into ailing patients were cited, The success was noted in the rise of the amount of calcium in the blood to normal. The thyroids are two glands near the windpipe. The prathyroids close to the thyroids, control the ccl- cium supply. : -- Faced with the almost uniform fall-. ure of other experimenters, Dr. Har- vey B. Stone, associate professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and his associates, Dr. James C. Owings and George O. Gey, made 'their report after more than three years of research. - The first opportunity to apply the method to a human being presented itself early last year. 'I'wo vpetients. were brought into the clinic, ore suf- fering from Paget's disease, a form of excessive bone growth, and the other from lack of sufficient lime in the body. ; iad The latter had a thyroid gland re- moved 16 months previously and showed the effects of this.

A similar culture was developed from the propective recip- fent and at the end of two weike the tissue was transferred to it. For four weeks it was grown there to be- come acclimated to its new host. The parathyroid tissue was graft- ed into the loose flesh of the arm pit. The operation was performed on Feb- ruay 17, 1933, Within sixty days, the patient: responded to tests, show- ing an improvement, the experiment. ers reported. . The second case of the experiment ers was started more than seven months ago and has progressed to a point where they described the oper- ation as successful. Three operstions for parathyroid transplantations and five for thyroid were undertaken re cently. The three scientists declined; be- cause of "insufficient data," to gen- eralize on the possibilities of their di- scovery in Tevolutionizing the pro- cedure of treating patients who lack the proper amount of secretions from internal glands. Speaking for the group, Dr. Stone said, however, they believed they were justified in saying their method "holds great promise for future pro- gress." : 'The Knowing Pike A letter to Our Dumb Animals Some years ago when a resident of Worcester one of the pleasantest of 'that city's several parks had been in times past a great private estate, with an interesting old mansion and hundreds of acres of hill, lake gar- dens, etc The lake.was thickly popu- lated with enormous pike. It used to amuse me to toss into the water an entire loaf of bread and watch the greedy and fat fish pile up three deep about it, many of them throwing themselves clean out of the water. In a short time the bread would disappear to the 'last crumb; but at firsty and before any pike had succeeded in nibbling the hard crust, the loaf of bread would be tossed about like a football. The city park commission saw that the pike were fed regularly, and the fish also fared well at the hands of picnickers. But the pike increased to such an extent that they had to be thinned out. Thereore the directors of Green Hill Park voted that on one day of -the week, on Thursday, any- body was at liberty to fish or cast net from the shore line. The fish were not welcomed by the connoisseurs of good food, but many of the foreign born in the colonies took advantaeg of the permission and went home with bur- lap bags full of fat pike, Presently a strange thing was no- ted, that belongs to that endless dis- 'pute. Do animals reason? For . al- though on every other day the pike voracious as ever, an Thursday they retired one and all to the depths of the upper laek and refused all lures! Now it fmay be argued that these canny fish noticed the poles and nets of the fisherman, and came to associate these implements with dis aster; but the fact remains that, as the caretakers assured me, the pike invariably retired on every Thur- sday morning before the fishermen arrived! They did not reappear until Friday morning.
