"You've heard all about the niad under -graduate the' Oxford police caught, who admitted stealing the curare from the Lab. to send the Doctor at Brightmouth, care of the Poste Restante, who wanted to con- tinue his experiments in achieving vivisection of animals without either pain to the subject during operation or the necessity for destruction after." His hearers nodded. "Well, neither, the Police nor any- body, I think, believe all that stuff. The student Branksome had views on vivisection well-known at Oxford. He had often spoke on the subject and been reported in the papers. I don't say anything about his views on science, but I do say—and his conduct in this particular case cer- tainly bears it out that he was a fanatic. Tf he hadn't been he'd hard- ly have fallen a victim to the trick of this fellow at Brightmouth, who calls himself a Doctor, and have gone as far stealing curare from the Labs. "You've also read, I expect, that there's no trace of a doctor Festus Hawkes at Brightmouth, nor any such naive in the Medical Register. The Post Office staff at Brightmouth don't know any such man by sight. The few letters addressed to him at the Poste Restante were collected by a small girl who brought the original letter to the Post Office to make the arrangement. And there seems very little chance up to the present of tracing him. "Of course, he may not even have lived at Brightmouth at all. He niay have come in on the few occasions he collected the letters from one of the villages. around. Until they get Bold of the girl there's not much chance of their tracing our friend Doctor Hawkes." F'7orn Your Doctor if the "Pain" Remedy You Take Is Safe, Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Well - Being to Unknown Preparations >r EFORE you take any prepara- tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the mains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it — in comparison with "Aspirin:" We say this because, before the. discovery of "Aspirin," most so- called "pain" remedies were ad- vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed .medical practice. Countless thousands of .people who have taken "Aspirin" year in end out without ill effect,- have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: "Aspirin" is rated among the faded methods pet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains , and safe for the average person to take regularly. "Aspirin" Tablets are made in Canada. "Aspirin" is the registered trade -mark of the Bayer Company, Limited.

Macdonald of Nova Scotia, is facing on of this most difficult tasks sines' assuming office. A romantic Irish ]hal. chelor in New York who lost his Soot tisk love in Dundee several, years ago has written the premier asking him to find, somewhere in Nova Scotia, a red-headed girl who appreciates the i�ag::rta and. speaks Gaelic, Years ago, the writer discloses. in a confidential letter to the premier, the girl of his dreams died and for some time he refused to even think of another. Now he is convinced he can nee iorneone to take her place. !leading in an Irish newspaper that the Neva Scotia premier spoke' Gaelic, ,?le decided to put the matter before him. The letter came address- ed to "Mr. Angus Macdonald, Gaelic Premier of Nova Scotia." Stephen Garton paused and sipped his cocktail. "It seems to vie," said Mrs. Man- ton, "very reprensible that the aue thorities should not take more care in accepting letters for people who want them addressed to the Poste Restant. I suppose lots of people use it quite innocently because it is often convenient. But it seems to Me that it gives potential criminals a much too easy way of covering up their tracks." Her words were a little ponderous and heavy, but Stephen Garton could not help admiring the way in which she gave to every syllable its correct value. She was indeed a relic of the Victorian days, unspoiled by the slipshod methods of a later era. "Quite right," said Lettice. "But just think what a chance it gives you —or me— if we think of 'going gay,,, "My dear," interposed the girl's mother, a little shocked at her daugh- ter's flippancy. But old Mrs. Manton only smiled and shook her head in- dulgently. "Anyway," went on Stephen, "you probably know all this, • already. There's a bit missing in the chain now. But 2 can get you on a step further. The Italian Government, who are upset because we don't seem to have got much more forward in getting all the truth about the mur- der of their most distinguished com- poser—a man who, though not him- self an active politician, was a wholehearted Fascist -have been. putting pressure on our Government through the Foreign Office. Many of the anti-Fascists—and there are hundreds in London as there are in any other big city in the world— are known to the police. We get into touch with the Home Office and Martinelli, Parelli's valet, was cart- ed around night after night by plain clothes policemen to scores of foreign political clubs. Last night he was taken to one in Soho. The organiser of this. one, like those of all the others, was as polite as any- thing, and the policemen's way made as smooth as possible. They all deny any wish to use any violent methods against the system they oppose. And — besides —they are mostly Italians before they are anti or pro - Fascists, and it was for his music— not for his politics—that Parelli was famous. "Anyway, Martinelli hadn't been there very long last night when he started, and made his police er,cort look towards the door. He pointed out a young girl of about eighteen— I saw her at the office this morning —who had just come in with a big black -bearded fellow, who looked as if he might be an organ grinder or a Corsican brigand out of work. He said that she was the woman who had come to his room and drugged him on the evening of the concert. The police stopped her, interviewed her, and established the fact that her name was. Francesca Pomagna and that she was the wife of a waiter, Luigi Pomagna, employed at the Hotel lVlajestie, Brightmouth!" CHAPTER N. TIIB COMMISSIONER OF POLICE Taunton looked worried. That was a bad sign. The Chief Inspector wasn't the kind of man who looked worried as a rule—he hadn't that sort of disposition. He bad worked his way up to the post he held by dogged, matter-of-fact perseverance. He never fussed; he had intelli- gence and used it. He usually found that, given the facts as they emerge- eel iIt any particular case, the solu- tion was bound, sooneror later, to transpire by the mere process of piecing then together in an orderly and connected manner. But the Parelli affair seemed to be going to prove an exception to the rule, The Conmissioneri wanted to see him. It wasn't usual for hiin to have to have an interview with the Co]n- missioner on a case. He wasn't one of the bigger noises of the CID., and this appointment bothered him; and the more so because he had no definite plan to put before General Berwick. , This cursed Parelli affair seenied always to lead him down blind alleys and up to blank wails, (To Be Conttiullcd) EVERY DAY LAVING A WEEKLY TONIC By Or. M. M. Lappin . A few weeks ago I dealt with the risks sometimes taken in answering advertisements of a certain type. My article apparently excited the inter- est of one reader who has been 'caught napping' with an advertise- ment of another sort. I have his let- ter before one now. When I first read it I was inclined to smile, and then, I frankly became indignant, Here Is an extract from his letter: "I have just. read your artiele on "Answering Advertisements" and, like you, I can sympathize with the lady who was `caught napping'. I have also been `caught napping', but with an advertisement of another sort, I read an advertisement in a magazine which began "You can get what you want and then went on to describe in giowirg terms a course in psychology supposed to teach you anything you want—riches, fame, friends, power, etc. I wrote for par- ticulars, and afterwards invested some hard earned dollars in the course only to find that I had wast- ed my money. The course was just so much drivel. . I am bitterly disappointed, and I want to ask you as a psychologist if psychology can really help a fellow to get what he wants." Now, isn't that a nice poser? In the first place, let me say that one should always try to apply common sense reasoning to the proposition offered in any advertisement before parting with 'hard earned dollars'. It surely stands to reason—does it not? —that if there were such a thing as a course by which men could be taught to get all they want, every- body would he taking that Bourse. Why, men would even be willing to pawn their shirts to take it. At least, I think I would, and I am just human like others. But supposing there were such a course, and supposing all men did take it, what would happen? Just this, the selfishness that exists in the world would become exceedingly more selfish and life would be sim- ply intolerable. No, my friend, a little thought, and you would have seen that the proffered course was too much of a good thing. It would be the worst thing that could hap- pen us if, by some power or other, we were able to get all we want. Personally, I shall be satisfied if I get all I need, and I think so will most people be. There are few of us who don't get that and a little more than we actually need. Of course every new field that opens up tends to become, for a time, a happy hunting ground for quacks and charlatans and fakes. Psychology has been no exception. I think, however, that they have al- most had their run. Psychology is coming into its own, and as it comes into its own, the quacks, charlatans, and fakes will gradually be elimin- ated. There is certainly a place for the trained psychologist and a work for him to do among his fellows. Our universities and colleges recognise this, and are training men and wom- en toward this end. Moreover the training is intensive. I believe the day is rapidly approaching when our medical nien and our clergynte,i will all be trained psychologists, but there are eo many branches of psychology that I hardly think the time will ever come when it will be confined to these two professions alone. That does not alter the fact, however,that doctors and nein:sters who are. train- ed psychologists ere better fitted to help their fellow men to whom they are called upon to mil,ister. But the ordina^y individual can study psychology to his own advan- tage, and there are schools which provide splendid courses for the be- ginner and fdr the advanced .,talent --even some correspondence schools whose courses are perfectly bona fide. Psychology, broully :peaking, and eo far as the average man or woman would have time to study it, may be said to enable one to understand the workings of the human mind and, by the undertakings of its laws and Inc application of its principles it helps the individual to adjust himself to his environment, to life, and to society. It also helps him to measure his en- ergy so that he expends it to best advantage. In a word, it enables hint to apply common sense to life's prob- lems, to be rational and to think for himself. And psychology does all this because it helps a ishan to understand himself. But the science that teaches a man to get what he wants just when he wants it and because he wants it has not yet been discovered. To be able to get what we want is one thing. To understand ourselves, to be able to think for ourselves, to be able to wisely direct our own lives—that is quite another thing altogether, and that is what psychology helps us to do. This correspondent asks ore to re- commend a 'good school if there is one." There are many. But it would be injudicious for me to mention them in a column in ptiblie press.

NEW YORK—At least 400 New York City nien, vicirns of silicosis, lung dieorder which has proved fatal to scores of rock workers at Gauley Bridge, W. Va., are doomed to die be- fore their normal life span is up, it was learned recently. Sonet, sis is one of the most fatal of occupational diseases, aecording to medical experts. A survey disclosedt That 118 of 208 stone workers ex- amined in a New York Tuberculesis and Health Association inquiry were found to be afflicted with silicosis. A State Labor Department expert discovered 78 cases of silicosis among a group of 125 granite cutters. A tuberculosis survey by the P. W.A. a year -ago found 128 cases of silicosis. The city Board of Health took up the problem of silicosis on March 10, at the request o: Health Commission- er John. L. Rice. Humour Types Englishmen and Americans Respond to Different Wisecracks VICTORIA, B.C. -- "Wisecracks," tbat tickle the risibilities of Amen cans are lost on the average English- man; who, in an attempt to under- stand them, "looks a trifle wistful," said Dr. Henrietta Anderson in an address hare. The English method is to take the rational and make it behave in an irrational manner:, while the United States humorist takes an irrational creature such as "Mickey Mouse," and makes it behave in a rational manner. Humor of men like Mark Twain and Bret Harte, however, had universal appeals, and English humor, subtle and leaving much to the imagination appealed to sophisticates of both nations. Scotch humor the speaker defined as unconscious and in a class by itself. The Englishman takes his humour as he takes his sport—for the fun of it, whereas in the United States it is a more serious business. Dr. Anderson selected Charles Lamb, H. G. Wells, W. S. Gilbert, Hil- aire Belloc and Lewis Carroll as dis- tinctive types of English humorists. Classes To Teach Housewives How To Budget Relief Funds L.I. S. Federal Agency Attempts to Solve Problem of Shrunken Incomes ALBANY, N.Y. — The works pro- gress administration, a federal re- lief -work agency, has announced plans for classes to teach housewives how to budget, plan diets, cook and do their marketing. The WPA said the aim was to attack "household problems created by reduced ouugets and shrunken incomes." The announcement said the "main objective is to provide employment for professionally and technically trained men and women on relief." The "faculty" for the housewives school will comprise persons taken from relief rolls and trained for teaching by the proffessional special- ists of the state education depart- ment. the will send me his full address, which he has strangely omitted from his letter, I shall be pleased to send hint, or to any other interested cor- respondent, the names of two or three good schools for consideration.
