John, is chronically angry because he is scientifically incapable of jealousy. John quits his teaching position at Baxter College and goes to New Yorlc with Julio. There they meet the publisher, Elliott Morgan and Nellie Woods who are putting out his book, "Jealousy in All Its As. pests." Julie is plenty jealous when Nellie and John spend much time ever revisions together. Then enc night, the, ardent Elliott tries to trap'.. Julie into a, rendezvous. Next clay she tells John and wants him to beat Elliott up. He refuses saying that jealousy is all. wrong. To teach him a lesson she goes to Elliott's island house unaware that in the meantime he and Nellie have decided to get married. But.. shehas sent John a telegram and at Nellie's urgings he is coming to the island. Now Elliott, furious because he will be in wrong with Nellie, unsuccessfully tries to put Julie out, falls off a ladder and scorches his beard in the process. CHAPTER 81X (Conclusion) The weather still wasn't very good the next morning but Julie. couldn't help crying into tho cof- fee she was fixing, Gosh, John ,should have made a special effort to got here last night. Elliott was still locked in his room. He had refused to come out, But all at once the front door opened. Julie was thrilled. "John1" She rushed to him: Passing by, Nellie said, "What do' you do, collect husbands?" Then she banged on Elliott's door. "Come out you worm and come out "I, can explain 'everything," Julie was' saying happily to John. "I'm so glad you're here, darling." He sort of put her aside. "I'm sure you can. And besides, your being hero isn't important" He too pounded on Elliott's door. "Come out of there. I want to talk to you." Julie gasped, dumbfounded. "it isn't important!" Now Elliott•sereamed, "I'm not coming out until everybody calms down. Everybody's being too hysterical."

I can say any piece from here just as well," There was it muffled retort, "Listen E1- liott, I've come up here to tell you, you can't ,publish my book, Take it off your Spring list. It's not esy hook anyway, It's a cheap lying version -Of what I wrote. You don't believe in the book any of you, It isn't something I dash- ed off in a hurry to make a few dollars, It's an expression of the ideals and principles I live by. A. man's -principles are his life; He's got to keep them clean and pure." Julie had found her voice, "And what?" she demanded, "about keeping his 'wife's name clean and pure?" "Elliott," Nellie • was calling, "Will you come out of that room?" •John said, "I don't care who- the he comes out or not. I'm taking my: book anci my principles and I'm going back to Baxter Col- lege with them. There at least all I have to do is bring psychology down to the level of football play- ing gorillas. `I do not havo to expose myself to the world as a cltoap, commercial racketeer, Come o Julio we're leaving." He was stalking out of the room. But Julie simply stood there and howled, `I'm not going„ any- where, I wasn't even included in the list of things you were taking back to Baxter. All right then. Go without nie. Take your book and your ideals and your principles and go to Baxter." John glared at her. Then after a long pause, he went to the door. "Very well, I'II go on by myself. I'll see you at Baxter," But sud- denly on the porch he turned around. There was Nellie, loolcing like a bride, "John, John," she cried. "It's wonderful." "'What is?" "Elliott and I. Ho finally let mo in his room and we've just had a talk. He's innocent. I believe it, I know it." "Of course he's inoncent," John said moodily, "with that beard." Nellie. was positively gurgling. "And John, we both owe you an apology. We were idiots for doubting your book for one silly minute. Elliott and I insist upon publishing it just as It was with- out changing one divine word." Where 1s Your Beard? John had been listening rather dubiously. Now he looked up. There was Elliott in the doorway. "How do you feel old 'man?" Elliott asked joyously. "Has Nellie told you about the boolc?" He was grinning fom ear to ear. He was also clean shaven, His beard was gone! John's eyes narrowed into veno - moils slits, He wet his dry lips arur suddenly spoke in a voice of thunder, "WHERE IS YOUR BEARD?" Elliott started ner- vously. Nellie looked her amaze- ment. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR BEARD?" "I shaved it off." "WHY?" Without waiting for an answer, he railed at Elliott. "I'm going to lick you Morgan. I'm going to beat that dissolute face of yours to a pulp." In a panic Elliott called, "Stop him Nellie. He's gone road.' Now John sped off after the fleeting Elliott. Julie rushed to the door. Her eyes were popping. Nellie explain- ed, "John's run amuck." "About what?" "Elliott's beard. It's off and it's driven John crazy. Julie digested that. Then a Sweet ecstasy lighted up her face. "He's jealous." Captain Makepeaee Liveright who had brought John and Nellie over, nodded sagely as John, hav- ing slowed down, stalked ,bout in a perfect .circle out in the clear- ing. "Comes from readin' too many books. They rot out a man's brain :cells." "You shut up," Julie said. "You talk just like my mother." • "It's maldn' nue . dizzy," the captain complained. "Why do they keep waikin' around in a circle ?" ".`That's the way they always walk," Nellie told him. .. Elliott was getting tired. He looked backand spoke plaintive- ly, "This is kind of silly old man. Look, what's any beard got to do with it? I've been on the. verge of shaving it off many times." John's laugh was unholy. "It must have been a pretty sudden decision my friend. What a give- away. What a dead giveaway." Elliott was agonized. "Give- away of what? Julie," he called, "what's he talking about?" Coyly, she said, "if 'you don't mind Elliott, I'd rather stay out of this. It's — it's gone beyond the talking point." - "Ahal" John yelped and was after his victim again with a fresh burst of speed. All at once an acorn went through the sole of his shoe. He leaped into the air, moving rather weirdly. "Is the professor part Indian?" The captain asked. "He's a full blooded, Apache," Nellie said, But Julie was happy. "Jolui," she • called, "you're just jealous, aren't you?" COMMANDS SECOND DIVISION Major General H. D. G. Crerar is here shown behind the sights of an anti-tank gun during an inspection tour at Petawawa train ng camp, General Crerar has recently been appointed commander of the 2nd Canadian Division overseas, succeeding Maj. -Gen. Victor W, Odium, who becomes Canada's high commissioner to Australia, Maj. - Gen. K. Stuart succeeded Gen, Crerar as chief of general staff, "Jealous?" he snorted. "Cer- tainly not," "Forgive me," Julie smiled. "It's just that now that I can sec this man's face it so happens it revolts sue that's all. I intend to bash it to a pulp." Her Heart's Desire Incredulous, Elliott demanded, "Just because I shaved?" John nodded grimly. "Haven't I the right to shave?" Elliott thought he'd go crazy, "Not under these circum- stances," Now, John had an acorn inn each shoe. He tried to get rid of both at once by jump- ing into the air and throwing his feet out — a la Nijinslty. ' Nellie nudged the Captain. "See what I mean abut his being full-blooded?" "I've had enough of this," El- liott suddenly shouted. He rushed at John, John bent to get the acorn out of his shoe, Elliott con- tinued on past him, and crashed into a bush. "Isn't John brilliant?" Julie said admiringly. But John was pretty sore. "Bit me when my back is turned, eh? Pretty dirty." He lunged after Elliott, The latter stepped aside by some miracle and John shot right into a tree, Breathing heavily, they both glared at each other. ' It was at this moment that John and Elliott both got the same idea at the Baine time. They dashed toward each other swing- ing their rights. Then they stop- ped short. With a tremendous crash their fists collided, They yelped with pain. The Captain was really disgust.. ed, "They got an eye like an eagle." There was a sound on the water. The Captain's launch, manned by his assistant, was being readied. The girls had looked. away. Sud- denly, they heard two terrific • blows. They turned. There, spread eagled on the ground; out to tate world, were Elliott and John. Julie was really awed. "My goodness, they knocked each other out!" • A. while later she was holding John's head in her arms. Strange- ly enough, he seemed quite at peace with the world, But still there were words be had to speak. "You know Julie," he said, 'rthere's something I should tell you. I've been thinking and I really believe, much as I hate to admit it.,." She smiled at him. "Of course John, I knew you were jealous all the time." Yes, Julie was happy at long last, She had finally gotten her heart's desire — a husband who could be normal and jealous just like all the other men in the world. THE END. `Lessons hi Love' When a New York ,Glamor Girl Tries To Tame An Indian. by JERRY BRONDFIELD Beginning Next Week "No Separates" The other day (writes a cor- respondent in the Liverpool Post) I saw a notice printed on a fish and chip shop window which aroused my curiosity. I read as follows: "No separates from to- day." Wondering what special brand of food was being withdrawn from the public I asked a boy who was coming out of the shop with 'a 'parcel what it meant. "It means" he replied, "you have got to have your fish, and chips in Otte piece of paper and not sepiarated. They i are short of paper." When Weather Cold The Dessert Is Hot By KATHARINE BAKER It Net wouldn't be fall without rich and flavorsome steamed ped- dings for dessert occasionally, In fact, steamed puddings are so popular that many kitchens boast a complete steaming outfit, If you haven't one however, don't let that stop you from serving hot Puddings, A deep saucepan may be used, provided it has a tight cover, In the bottom of the sauce. pau place a rack on which to stand the molds. Old baking pow- der or coffee cans make excellent molds because of their tight -fitting covers. These should be thoroughly greased, filled ono -half to two- thirds full of pudding mixture and placed on the rack. Have boiling water halfway up around molds. The saucepan should then be tight- ly covered. There should be en- ough water to last throughout the first hone, of steaming. Later, if any leas to be added, it should be boiling water, The water should boll the entire time, Here is the recipe for the grand- est steamed pudding you ever test- ed. Serve it hot with Sunshine Foamy Sauce or the traditional hand sauce if you prefer.

Stork Very Busy In United States Census bureau officials say the United States' is experiencing the greatest boom in baby production since 1921, Latest statistics show that the stork is snaking a new delivery. every 14 seconds, At that rate the stork is mor-. ing faster than the undertake; who makes a call every 23 sec- onds. Provisional estimates show that approximately 2,500,000 babies will be born this year of a popu- lation of approximately 132,000,- 000. That represents about 183 babies for every 10,000 persons title year. In 1987 the birth rate was 171 babies to every 10,000 persona, In 1938 it was 176, and in 1940. 3,79. Both the First Great War and the present crisis are partially responsible for the latest upswing in the birth rate, said Dr. Philip Hauser, the census bureau's assis- tant chief statistician for popula- tion. "The large crop of babies born after the boys got back from the World War have now become old enough to have babies of their own," Dr. Hauser says. "And they are having them," Bees Rationed France's 75,000,000 honey bees have been put on food rations. The Government has assigned 75 tons of sugar for the use of agriculturists in feeding their bees until the spring flowers bloom. Authorities, fearing that fan" mers might appropriate the sugar to their own use, have reserved the right to see that the bees de not go hungry. APP English Mothers _Nrriw To e Put On Diet . Deveb ped. In Ontario Expert Has Eyes Opened by System at Hospital For Sick Children INFANT DEATHS CUT During his recent visit to Canada, Sir Wilson Jameson, chief medical officer of the British Ministry of Health, stated that immediately upon his return to England he would be putting all expectant mothers to Bri- tain on the diet which has been worked out by The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Sir Wilson said that he had learned much in the few days of his visit to Canada about "things watch I hope to take back and put into immediate operation," Here is one example of what 1 mean, having to do with the all-im- portant subject of nutrition, which will, I am confident, assist us to win the war, Work has been going on here, in which, by perfectly simple adjustments in the diet of expectant mothers, you have reduced what we have hitherto considered to be un- manageable deaths of infants under one month of age, The work has been clone here through your magnificent children's hospital, 3m going to put it into effect at home, I'm going to go back and do it at once. I'm sure that this extremely valuable work being done in Toronto will be of great help to us,' We've clone what we could but we didn't think of this, Some idea of the immense value and wide scope of the work of The Hospital for SIck Children !nay be formed by considering the fact that during the past year alone, over 0,000 sick and crippled children wore given, treatment in the Public Wards, while the Out -Patient Department handled over 73,000 visits from suffering little ones, finlike most other hospitals, this great Institution has no large group et Private Ward beds front which to. draw extra revenue which can bo applied to Public Ward 'service. At preaeilt 414 of the 434 beds are in the Public Wards, In those Public Wards, over 00 doctors give their services tvitheut charge, The time donated free by this group of doctors, which includes many of Canada's leading child ape- eialists, has been estimated on a con- servative basis; to be worth at least $200,000.00 per year, if fees were charged, Their skill, acquired through many years of active work with the most difficult type of "prob. nem" cases, cannot be measured in dollars and cents—it is priceless. The Hospital for Sick Children le operated for but one main purpose— to give the children of those in hum- ble circumstances the same chance for health and happiness as the chil- dren of parents who can afford the afuf ttentionsort ,of hospital care and medical And, to be effective, medical treat- ment and hospital care must be given at the time when it is most needed. There can be no second chance for many neglected children. Chronic disease, life-long disfigurement, de- formity made permanent, and DEATH—these are the undeserved penalties which neglect inflicts on such little ones. Tbet is why, regardless of race, creed or financial circumstancea children from every part of Ontarim are given medical and hospital treat- ment up to—and often beyond—the normal capacity of The Hospital for. Sick Children. Operating costs are among the low- est in North America for institutions of similar type—so low that this Hos. pital's efficient operating method has been cited as an example on many occasions when hospitalization costs have been under discussion. In The Hospital for Sick Children less than five por cent, of the patients are in private wards, These are the only ones able to pay the full cost of their care. This means that 414 of the 434 beds are in Public Wards where the cost per patient is approxi- mately $1.25 per day more than the ercombinedmnentgrant. income from parents (or their municipalities) plus the Gov.
