In the Blues' first game Whitper, the Philadelphia pitcher, is killed with a bullet through the heart after smashing out a home run.

He turned to the" people grouped in the hall. "Won't you peo- ple please go to your rooms?" The crowd moved back a little, but did not disperse. Ternan came back and stood on guard. "Come with me," Clayton said to the bellhop. He moved down the hall and stopped at an open door about four rooms down, the night -clerk close on h's heels. . "Go in there," Clayton ordered, "and find out who is registered in that room." He turned to the boy, Carter. "What do you know about this?" "The captain gave me a ticket to come up here for a suit. When I op- ened the door that thing was hang- ing there." His voice quavered. " The night clerk came back. "The room was vacant, Has been unoc- cupicd all week. It wasn't rented, because it was next to Mr. Rawlins and he was sick." - "Cet the operator," Clayton sa'd, "and sce if she can trace the call for service in that room." - The: clerk was gone for several minutes. "The operators say the call came from outside. It was a man called and asked for the operator to send up for his suit. He said he had forgotten to do it before he went out and'would not be back until late and wanted the suit for the first thing in the morning." . A plainsclothes man and two pol- icemen hurried down the hall. "Hello, Clayton, have you found h'm?" the plainclothes man asked. He was Sher- man, of the Chicago force, and had been in the hotel earlier in the even- ing trying to locate Rawlins and the missing maid. Clayton nodded and led the way down to, the door. The crowd fell back. Sherman looked at the body and then turned to Clayton. "This was- n't his.room, was it?" "No, his was the next room." "Who would have thought of look- ing in there? How did you find him?" Clayton explained the circumstanc- es quickly. "It's another one of those baseball murders," Sherman said grimly. "I thought they were through with our team. Now, why do you suppose they would want to kill Raw- lins? And how about the girl? Any sign of her?" "No." "We'd better take a look in there. . How about a key?" The night clerk brought a pass- key, Sherman unlocked the door pro- per and pushed it open. There was a horrified gasp from the people in the hall as the hanging body swung crazily and then fell down half in and half out of the open door. Inside the room Sherman opened the closet, looked under the bed and then onened the bathroom. He let out a startled cry. "Come here, somebody!" he called.

In a moment they could be seen through the open door carrying a limp body in their arms. It was the maid, bound and gagged. They placed her on the bed. ""She's all right," Sherman said to Clayton. '"She's just stiff and sore. Get a glass of water." They untied her wrists. and ankles and took the gag out of her mouth. "She was dumped into the bath- tub," Sherman explained to the man- ager as he chafed her wrists, They gave the girl the water a little at a time. "You'll be all right in a few: minutes," Sherman said | soothingly. "How are you feeling, Clayton asked the girl, , "Terrible, Mr. Clayton," she re- plied after a moment.

"Now, Louise," Sherman said, "you'ye had a shock, but there are some things I want to ask you just as soon as you feel able." "I'll be all right in a midute." She -essayed a smile. , Sherman looked toward the door that led into the connecting room, "Have you your pass-keys?' he ask- ed. "He took 'em." "Who took them?" "The man who tied me up." "What happened?" "I was comin' down the hall and a man came up to me-and asked me if I'd open the door for him, He said he had forgot his key. I opened the door and he shoved me in and put his hand over my mouth, I tried to fight him, but he was too strong and the next thing I know I didn't know nothin', I-just sort of floated away and when I come to I was in there."

It is made of sheer white organdie with applique flowers of the same fine material in coral pink, turquoise blue and pale yellow with stems of apple green. The flower design is shown here in actual size so you can cut the pieces out and use them for patterns for cutting your applique pieces. If you do this be sure to add %-inch all around each piece for the part that turns under as shown here at A.

The applique stitch for sewing the flowers in place is also used for the hem and it gives the effect of fine hemstitching though no threads are drawn, Number 90 white sewing thread is best to use for this work.

Most users of these demo- cratic institutions have received but the rudiments of education, have left school at un early age, and have mostly come from bookless honiés. They are quite unaware of the rich literary heritage as represented by the numerous clasies of books. It is still customary in many librarics to have series ot formal lectures, ugu- ally bearing on the books in the lib raries, but these appeal to, and are attended by, the better educated, and they do not sufficiently reach the average or general reader, Good as they are as effective as homely, in- formal talks, given to smaller groups, where discussion is likely to arise, The average reader wants not so much critical estimates, as to know something of the theme or subjeet- matter of the books. At Halifax we discontinued the formal lecture af. ter the War, and arranged to give book-talks to small groups under the auspices of organizations which ask for them, / Pg di ¢ an bY | Ne BLACKHEADS Get two ounces of peroxifie powder from your driiggist.

Highest total for the season to date is reported from Dr. A, R. Dafoe'd office as being about 3,000. Weights, heights and new teeth were in the monthly: review present. ed by Dr, Dafoe, and in each ¢ase one of the babes laggéd behind her sis ters. Yvonne failed to cut a tooth and Cecile"s weight remained stationary. Weight with changes from last month are: Marie, 29 1bs., gain 1 1b; Emile, 31 1bs., gain 1 1b. ~ Cecile, 31 lbs, unchanged.

Yvonne, who has none since last month, The English Language The English language is more ex- posed to "contamination" than any other modern language, according to Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor General of Canada. The reason for this is that Engl'sh is now spoken in every corner of the earth and by millions of people, whose acquaintance with it was not made at the fountainhead from which alone it is supposed: to flow in pris- tine purity. While that may be true, what a much less adequate vehicle of expres- sion Shakespeare's tongue would be today +f it had not been exposed to this worldwide "contamination." Scrap from the dictionary all the English from Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and the Seven Seas, and ~you would have a language that would be as out of date and place in this modern world as the quill with which Shakespeare wrowe his immor- tal plays. The fact that Lord Tweedsmuir is himself a precise and elegant mas- ter of English style perhaps makes him lean a little backward in his-de- fense of linguistic purity. A language to survive must serve practical ends, as well as artistic ends. And much of the "contamination" which English has suffered at the hands of Americans, and other out- landers, will probably be found, up- on 'examination, to have been caused by conscious or unconscious-efforts to make it serve the practical needs of every-day men and women in the many and far flung parts of the en, - Writing It In Smoke "A perfect wedding." That is the consensus of .opinion of all of the guests who assembled to see Isobel MeCreery and Augustus Taylor, Jr., plight their troth at St. Matthew's Church in San Mateo recently. The charming little church was simply and beautifully decorated (by--the Misses Worn, naturally) with white festoons and literally millions of gar- denias, which made the most attrac tive setting imaginable for the pret- ty bride in her stately wedding dress with its motif of tiny. pearly sea shells. : Later, at 'the Richard McCreery villa, more than 400 of the elect gathered to toast the happy pair, who sat at a long table covered with cloth of silver and more white flowers, while outside, high up in the sky, 'an airplane: was weaving throughout the blue leaving a trail of smoke that spelled, "I love you". --San Francisco Argonaut.
