She was with him only a few short hours, didn't even learn his last name, but when she returned to the city she realized she loved him. 13 KE WITH ROYAL always full strength Every cake of Royal is sealed in an air- tight wrapper free from contamination rrHERE'S one infallible rule in bread -baking — your yeast 'Oust be full strength.

The bag was marked with the former owner's initials and address and although Sheila's fam- ly was poverty-stricken, she return- ed the money. The house to which she went was that of Judge McCann and while she was there,, in walked Peter McCann. Peter and Sheila met secretly the next day in an old book room of a library to which Peter had access. Peter told her he /eyed her, but was to marry an- other girt Gertrude Keane, who lived with the McCanns. When they tried to leave the library, they found themselves locked in. Making their way over several roofs in a snow- storm, they descended to what ap- peared to be a studio. Two young men, bootleggers, who addressed each other as Ken and Inky, sud- denly confronted them. One had a pistoi. They forced Sheila and Peter into an automobile, then into a truck and hours later they were taken into an old isolated farm- house. After a few hours sleep, Sheila found her way to the kitchen and prepared dinner for her five captors. Left alone with Sheila, Ken explained that she and Peter had shown up in the studio when he and his men were afraid of detec- tion and for that reason they had had to bring them along. They talk- ed of their mothers. and of other things lIe did not look at Sheila. He walked about the truck in the snow and climbed up on the front seat, and she saw one of the other men get down upon the rough floor of the vehicle and roll himself up in a blanket there. The rest was a floundering walk in the snow, more like three miles than two, and a long, dreary, empty wait at an empty station. The sign over the station said: "Capitol Junes tion"; there was no house near by. But .-toward the middle •of the after- noon a rickety train did rattle up, and Sheila and Peter boarded it. The conductor sleepily informed them that they were in northern Connecticut and obliged them with tickets to New York. There was no diner on the train, but when they transferred to a roaring leviathan farther on, they thankfully went in- to a brightly lighted buffet -car and had sandwiches and coffee, "And so ends our adventure!" Sheila said, on a long sigh. "What we've got to tell the folks at home will last us for awhile !" Peter, emboldened by food, the warmth and safety, answered with a contemptuous laugh: "Don't you fool yourself that our adventure is over! I'm going to send every last one of that gang to jail, and don't you fool yourself!" "I'm not fooling myself,' Sheila answered with dignity. "But I'll bet you anything you never catch one of them!" "What do you suppose our fami- lies have been doing all this time? Do you suppose for one minute they haven't been raising the devil?" Peter demanded, indignantly. "Why they've got the whole police depart- ment roused by this time! This Ken fellow—by the way, did you get his last name?" She hesitated a second. "It doesn't matter. They've got it, you bat.

And long afterward, remembering the innocence and ignorance of this' trip home in the snowy sunshine; Sheila had to admit that this tim Peter had been right. When they were finally approach ing the city, and the theatre Oyer tisements and the multiplyinglaita* ment houses warned them th.d long trip was almost over, Shell was conscious of a sudden lassitude a weariness that seemed to have a much to do with the soul as the body. Wonderful as it would be to get home to Ma and Angela and Joe and have the first thrilling conver- sation with them, she wished that it was over.

This is an increase of 500 over the same period in. 1936. At the same time the number of deaths decreased by 2,600 from the year before. Mar- riages on the other hand continued to fall, showing a decrease of 1,600 compared with last year. Public leaders continue, however, to be worried about the marriage and birth situation, as the French popula- tion hasrisen .only POP the e first nine months of 1936, marriages ,.•dsdecreaSed by 3,000 from' the figure of a ,• last year. Seven thousand fewer chil- , dren born alive were registered. The s deaths, however for the whole of France, diminished by 15,000. It is explained that the lowered marriage and birth figures are clue to the wartime young generations, just reaching maturity, having been low. Another adverse factor is the bad economic situation for the first -part of 1936. The slight rise in the total population was due solely to the diminution of deaths in the country. tions— It seemed odd to see the night streets bustling as usual, down under the train; curb carts surrounded]: by shoppers, children running and. screaming, in the dirty snow. "I get out at 12th,Peter." He roused himself from a sort of dream at the window. "Nix!" lie protested.. :"We've got to go home first. We've got to turn in a report at a police 'station." "I dan't," she said. Pm going, straight home to my mother." "I'll get out with you, it's just as . near for me. But we've got to go to a station, right off the bat'!" "What for?" "To catch them, The police won't • want to lose a minute," "You don't think for one minute you can catch them !" "I know darned well we card catch them. We know where they started from, don't we? We can send 'em right to that fake studio where we found 'em, can't we? only take a minute, and then I will run you home in a taxi," Peter argued. In the, end ehe actually did dad: herself in the dlonday evening quiet of a police station, answering the questions of a kindly sergeant, with only another old officer for audi- ence, except for a sympathetic, young man who observed excitedly that he would bet it was One's gang, and who, with a sort of tinsel, ed light globe held aloft, took a snapshot of the latest victims ofs gang mystery. And then the familiar streets were rushing by Sheila's taxi, and her heart was thumping harder and faster, and Ma, and home, and safety' were coming nearer every second. The beloved old dirty doorway with children straggling about it in the dark, the welcoming rush of thick 'air from the house, air scented with cooking and living and the ominous note of carbolic tnet her like familiar voices. Sheila was up the four flights like a flying swallow; she fung open the kitchen door and her' cry of "Ma! Pm back rang through the place. • . Speech Translator The -,"sgeech translator" has help- ed solve language problems at the League of Nations meetings. For instance, when the Emperor Haile Selassie made his address at Geneva he spoke in Amharic. Probably no- body except a few Ethiopians under- stood the language, yet the delegates followed the Emperor's speech al- most simultaneously. Wires .altmected with a micro- phone ht front of the speaker carry his voice to expert translators be- hind the scenes, each of whom can translate the language being used into a . second language. These in- - terpretors speak into telephones which age conne.ted with earphones on thd desks of the delegates, who have merely to turn a knob to which- ever language they want to hear.

And every woman knows that to be successful in this depends, to a lugs extent tin food, 'delicious food, beautifully prepared and al- ways temptingly served! So whether you want to bask in the sunshine of your guests' approval or that of your family, which is harder to win and really worthwhile to keep, look at your menus. Plan them wisely and be sure to get variety, One way to insure variety is to keep some squares of unsweetened chocolate on hand at all times and from thss, dozens of interesting and different dishes can be prepared. There are few foods in the whole list which, we use to Make tempt- ing dishes that offer as ninny possi- bilities as chocolate. That is because chocolate is not only a real food, be- ing rich and energy -giving, but be- cause it .is such a universally popu- lar flavor. In ice cream, in cake, in beverages, in candies and des- serts of all kinds, you will find that chocolate leads the field in popular- ity. Here are two chocolate desserts. Chocolate Pudding, a good old stand by which we never grow tired of, but which can be clrestaal up to look like new, and Chocolate Parfait,: a gala dessert for company occasions: CHOCOLATE PUDDING 3 squeres unsweetened Chocolate, 3 cups milk, 3-4 cup sugar, 6 table- spoons floor, 3/1 teaspoon salt, 1 tea- spoon vanilla. Add chocolate to milk and heat in double Loiler. When chocolate is melted, beat with rotary egg beater until blended. Combine sugar, flour and salt; add gradually to chocolate mixture and cook until thickened, stirring constantly; then continue cooking 10 minutes, stirring it occa- sionally. Remove from fire; add va- nilla. Stir frequently while cooling. Chill and serve with cream. Serves 6. Here ere a few ideas as to dress- ing up this old favorite. Fold 1/2 cup premium shred coco- nut (plain or toasted) into pudding; top with additional coconut. Fold 1/2 cup chopped walnut meats into pud- ding; top with whipped cream and a few banana slices. Folcl orange marmalade into whipped cream; use as garnish for pudding, topping with a bit of marmalade. Fold a few slices of dates into pudding; top with whipped cream and date silces. Flavor whipped cream with pepper- mint extract; use asgarnish for pudding, topping with sprig of fresh mint or a cube of mint jelly.
