"Very good" agreed the other,
"Pm anxious to put a stop to this
outbreak of forgery as soon as

and we feel certain that all the
cheques come from the same

Hopton nodded, but any further
comment was interrupted by the
telephone on the Superintendent's
desk which Megan to ring harshly.
"Dash the thing!" muttered El-
lis, taking off the receiver. "Ex-
etise me a moment; Hello . .

Hopton haat picked up his hat

The Inspector -napped on the
reviver =again with a grunt of
annoyances.
"No peeve for the wicked." he
sighed. "I've got to report: to Lam-

"Well, it's nice sharp weather
for you," commented Ellis face-
titiottsly. "I find it hard enough
to Keep waren in here".
"Not enough to do," grinned
Houton, slaking for the door.
"Cheerio, and I'll ' get Sergeant

about the forgery business as soon
as 1've a moment to spare."
"Very good." nodded the Super-

Halt an hour later the detective
was scraping the congealed snow
from his boots before the roaring
fire at the Lambeth Station while
Divisonal Detective -Inspector Car-
lingford, a big man with a red
face and sandy hair went over the
chief incidents of the case.
"Well, Hopton, this looks like
being a real corker," he began,
taking a. pile of papers from his
desk and flattening them ont be-
fore him.
"1 suppose that's why r'm here?"
suggested the detective with a.
chuckle. "Rut, go on,"
"Well, to begin with," said the
Divisional Inspector, reterriug to
his notes. "Police Constable Maggs
was on point duty at eleven forty-
five this morning. at the junction
of Mayford and Streatham roads,
when a boy came dashing along in
a very excited state and asked 'him
to go to S4 Little Street, S.W.S, as
a man had been murdered,"

A Soup Thscassl ora
This week I have had two re-
quests for my method of making
tomato soup. Maybe I have ne-
glected this topic for we all do
use a. certain amount of canned
song). However, always remember
That. whenever possible. soup
should be made up specially, if we
axe watching closely the budget
line.
Cream of Tomato soup
Strain yenned tomatoes; place
on heat and being to boil, Season
with pepper mei salt and a iittle
sugar. ( 1 ant not giving the •ttul-
Onnty for all trite,' for seasoning
are di1ieielit). Melt butter tin
mettearements it should be 1 level
t011le•p0oll to 1-aeth cup of toma-
toes). To each tablespoon of melt-
ed butter il'ill a table11)0011
of Heine. Blend r'atefully and
add to the tomatoes. as it reaches
the boiling point, the butter atld
flour mixture, Stir COnstaetly un-
til it thickens. then allow to eook
on slow heat. :1ntil no taste of
si:arcil remain.,. Now add a pinch
of soda. Stir nntil e1'ter've '_in;-
lessens then add the milk, which
hos been hoatedl but not boiled.
Stir well and serve when real ]rot
but try 10 avoid boiling.
Cream of Corn Syrup
1 medium sized onion
3. Call Coi'll
3 caps water
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
teaspoon hepper
3 cups milk
hiuely Chopped parsley
Paprika
Combine the chopped opion,
corn rind water. Cover and cook
gently for 30 minutes. Press
through a coarse sieve. Melt but-
ter and blend in the flour, salt
and pepper. Stir and cook until
• thick. Add the corn mixtuae and
reheat well. Sprinkle each serv-
ass
ing with chopped parsley 0lld
paprika. Six servings.
Cream of Carrot and Pea Soup
1 et p sliced carrots
1 cul) calmed peas
1 thick :diced onion
2 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons butter
3 t1(biO paons flour
:3 Crips rn11k
1 teaspoon salt
1, teaspoon pepper.
Combine the eareate Rai 01..01L
with the boiling water .tnd t:ilok
for lee lniautes cevel'4d. Ado the
Peas and cook for five minute).
Press all throegil a sieve. Melt the
butter and heat in flour, Add milk
and carrot mixture. Cook stirring
constantly until thick. Season to
taste. R Serve a few slices of car-
rots end peas for garnish.
Always remember that the water
in which you have cooked your
vegetables should never be thrown
away — it is a splendid founda-
tion for creamed soups. Then with
mike soups the homemaker has, a
splendid opportunity to vary the
milk budget. Remember each adult
should have one pint of milk a day
and each child one quart.
