"Murder Against

Mat I hasten to Pass it along.

To make a pat roast "deelicl-
eus," Mrs. Alice Macdonald, De$
Moines, Iowa, recommends sea-
soning jt with a can of onion
;Otis), "No other seasoning need
be added," she says. "Brown
meat all over when cooking on
top of stove and add enough
hot water to start the 'oolong.
Add the onion soup; simmer for
several hours; watch and add a
little more water, if needed.
When the meat is done and. ten-
der, the liquid should be in the
meat and not in the Dutch oven!"

nO i7t0h° e Aug agrees t eever'S
reported — was...seen recently by
the U,S, ice-breaker Atka drift-
ing northwards in the Antarctic.
It is believed to have broken Off
from the Antarctic continent
some time in January.
.just now many 'bergs break
away from the great ice cap of
the north. The International Ice
Patrol, inaugurated as a direct
result of the Titanic disaster, is
getting busy tracking and des-
troying them.
They are destroyed by mines
exploded under them or by gun-
fire. But sometimes a 'berg is so
delicately balanced' that the touch
of a man's, hand can upset it.
This delicate poise is caused by
the constant raya of the sun on
the exposed part and the corro-
sive action of the salt water on
the submerged part.
Icebergs that sometimes men-
ace the shipping lanes in spring
often w ei g h 2,000,000 tons or
more. Seven-eighths of a 'berg's
mass is below water. Some 'bergs
rise above the water three
times higher than Si. Paul's
Cathedral.
In the spring of 1841 a grue-
some sight was seen by watchers
off the coast of St. John's, New-
foundland: a gigantic iceberg in
the centre of which, embedded
between two hills of ice, Were
tow ships with no living being
in them and their masts gone.
The ships had been missing for
years.
When a ship hits an iceberg the
impact usually takes plac,e below
the water-line. That is why the
ships founder with such tragic
swiftness. Luckily such disasters
are now "extremely rare.
Sometimes a ship which strikes
a 'berg manages to limp home as:
did the liner Arizona in 1879,
after colliding with a white mon-
ster
,
about 250 miles east of St.
Alin's, Newfoundland.
Many of the 500 passengers
were flung from their berths ands
half-clad men, women and .chil-
-dren made for the boats, con-
vinced that the `liner was sink-
ing:
. The 'berg had made a gaping
wound 20 feet wide in the liner,
but although everything fragile
aboard had been smashed, not a
single human life had been lost.
"Well, you are an independent
young woman!"
But then with eager hands he
drew her to him, When she re-
sisted he struck her in the eye.
Gasping out her story-,' Bvelyn
Old how in 'the struggle she lost
consciousness and recovered
only as the car jolted over the
moor.
The only other significant de-
tail in E velyn Foster's story was
that the man had told her he
had been picked up earlier by
a party_ of 'motorists on their
way to Hexham. They were
three Scotsmen in a saloon car.
Subsequently t h e. 13, B. C.
broadcast this description, and
the police appealed to the three
men to come forward.
They did so.
But, strangely enough, they
strongly denied giving a lift to
anyone,
It was perhaps one of the
oddest of the odd details in this
case . . , and by this time Eve-
lyn Foster had died of her in-
juries,
No Bruise Marks
Then the mystery deepened.
At the inquest an eminent pa-
thologist asserted that there was
no evidence of bruising on the
dead girl's face; and no evidence
of other details in her story.
Evelyn Foster's p e rs o n a 1
jewellery and her handbag had
not been touched.
What of the possibilities of
accident?
Examination of the burnt-out
taxi revealed that the valves,
the ignition and carburetter
were in perfect circler. There
was no trace of abnormal heat
below the line of the float cham-
ber. Evelyn Foster's clothes
seemed to have been soaked in
petrol • . • and in the back of
the car was a burnt-out petrol
tin. s
It was kept there for emer-
gencies, but the cap had been
removed from the two-gallon tin
before the fire started.
Questions of motive imme-
diately arose.
It was hinted that Evelyn Fos-
ter might have committed sui-
cide in order that others might
benefit from the insurance
money. It was ascertained that
she had policies worth $3,500.
' Yet this theory hardly held
water "for she also had complete
command of a small personal
,fortune of £1,400.
If Evelyn Foster had struggled
with a man, her body might
have' borne indications of
bruising. The pathologists de-
clared that no external marks
suggesting injury other than the
fatal burning had been found
anywhere.
It took the inquest jury two
hours to bring in their verdict
of murder against some person'
or persons unknown. -
The verdict, said Mr. Foster,
vindicated his daughter's hon-
our. But the murderer had dis-
appeared into thin air and has
never been seen to this day.

REMINDER—The horror of life
behind barbed wire is the
theme of this new 12-franc
stamp to be issued soon by
France. It is part of a Deporta-
tion Camp series.
Farming is a way of life and
time was when it was' the free-
est way of life open to any man
willing to accept the physical
hardship connected 'with it. As
soon as a man owned an honest
piece of land, he was in the posi-
tion to set up house and raise
a family on the product of his
toil. With 'God's help, he pro-
duced enough to trade some of
his surplus on the open market
for manufactured and processed
goods, most of which were im-
ported duty-free. In those days,
the farmer sold his product and
bought his 'necessities at prices
which were regulated by supply
and demand, as well as cpm-
petition.
Protection for Inaustry
With a rapidly growing popu-
lation, more and more manu-
facturing industries sprang up
all over the country. Many of
them were financially too weak
to stand up against the corn-
petition of older and more ex-
perienced manufacturers in
other countries.
Soon the demand rose for
protection of these new under-
takings by the imposition of
custom duties on imported
goods. Succe,eding governments
complied with the wishes of
the industrialists, with the
result that a:the farmer had to
pay priCes artificially h el d
higher than those of the world
market. But still he had to sell
everything that he produced at
prices over which he had no
control. •
Time and again the farmers
revolted, against conditions
which threatened to make them
hewers of wood and drawers of
water. The Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, United Farmers of

Ontario, Progressives, C-opera-
tive Commonwealth. Federation,
Federation of Agriculture, and
now the Farmers Unions, are all
_attempts to do co-operatively
what the farmer' could not do
for himself • individually, viz.,
bring him parity of status in
society, and an equitable share
in 'the national income.
Production Efficiency
On the Other hand, there have
always been those ,who opposed
all co-operative action in the
economic and political field and
advocated concentration of ef-
fort on production efficiency.
The reasoning usually' was that
the farmer is no business man,
that he should look, after his
land and stock and leave the
marketing of his products to the
"experts."
The argument that all would
be well as long .as farmers
would produce a quality pro-'
duct at low cost, is specious for,
the simple reason that the,
farmer has no control over a
large part of his production
costs and that the hest product
will not bring a profitable return
if the price is set onesidedly by
the buyer.
Marketing Efficiency
Production efficiency will not
get the expected results unless
it is accompanied by marketing
efficiency. Over the last' fifty
years, a new system has de-
veloped, characterized by Big-.
ness. In every branch of manu-
facturing and processing, many.
small companies have disappear-
ed by merging with others.
Today, practically every field is
dominated by 'a few big cor-
porations, which by their sheer
size and wealth control markets
„ and prices, especially if they
combine their forces.
The answer, of course, is co-
operative marketing of fdrm
products through provincial and
national marketing boards
whose members are to be elect-
ed by the producers and not
appointed by governments.

As if in a hideous dream . . .
a nightmare beyond her worst
.imagining . . . pretty Evelyn
Foster recovered consciousness
in the wildly jolting car. Shud-
dering back through the dark
curtains .of 'oblivion, she became
aware that the man had, left
her side. The car atoppdd and a
tiny flame flared in the moor-
land night.
The next second there was
a small explosion. Unable to cry
out, she watched as the car be-
came a blazing holocaust of fire.
Scorching agony racked her
limbs. Gasps of burning suffoca-
tion filled her throat.
As she fought frenziedly to
open. the door of the car, it
seemed that the man had walk-
ed back along the road. Amid
the glare of the flames, she af-
terwards remembered another
car, the voices of men in whis-
pered conversation, the other
car driving away. . . .
And' then suddenly she was
out of the burning car, her
clothes half seared away. . . .
Was it indeed a nightmare?
Some terrible illusion? • Or was
it murder?
High on the lonely Northum-
brian moors between Newcastle
and Otterburn, a bus driver was
returning in his empty bus after
the last night journey when he
and his conductor saw the oar
smouldering like a giant bon-
fire on the grassland verge.
Oddly- enough, this occurred
in January, 1931, when all Bri-
tain was already discussing the
mystery of a blazing car found
on a lonely road and Alfred
Rouse, thaI Don JUan of kill-
ers, was on trial for his life.
The Rouse case provided the
first instance in British crimin-
al history of the use of a blaz-
ing car as a -vehicle., for • Murder.
But now, in the month of the.
Rouse trial, there came this set-
arid macabre horror.
Stopping their bus, the driver
and his mate stepped down . .
and now' they heard Evelyn
Foster's piteous moans, her dy-
ing cries for water.
Prom the waist down her re-
maining clothes were little more
than ash. Her hands were black
from 'the effects of night frost,
her face discoloured.
"That awful man!" she
muttered. "That awful Man!"
With horror, the busmen red-
ognized the tragic figure — the
daughter of the garage proprie-
tor for whom they worked. At
Foster's garage Evelyn often,
drove the taxi customers. Only
that day she bad driven three
passengers to the local village.
