Its uniform leavening quality gives dependable baking results." And Miss Dutton's praise of Magic is seconded by the majority of dietitians and cookery experts throughout the Dominion. They use Magic exclusively because they - know it is pure, and always uni- form. Canadian housewives, too, pre- fer Magic, In fact, Magic outsells another baking powders combined.

She did not allow her husband to eat his dinner until he had procured a file and detached the inch of peril from its place. • All over the house she as ever , n the alert for danger. WOUNDS CAUSE TROUBLE. And she was right bedause, as we know, troubles often result from little wounds and anything that can ciut or scratch should be remeved at once. New there is, at Billy's house, a nice back yard,' part of it lawti, part of it shrubbery and part flower beds. There is also a mall service yard next the garage ' where garbage -can and rubbish -barrel hide their ignom- iny behind a vine -covered lattice. In the play part of the yard there is a swing and a swinging bar. The lawn is tramped pretty flat here. The children are supposes to' stay away from flower beds, shrubbery and ser- vice yard. "ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN." One very waren day Billy and his sister were allowed to go in their bare feet. Billy's ball went into a flower bed just beginning to show preen. He tip- toed after it and cut his foot on a piece of white china that had not been picked up whezi the gardener spaded it. A few days later they were playing "I spy," and Bunny his sister, found a hiding hole behind the rubbish -bar- rel. She wasn't supposed to be there but she was. She jurat forgot. She cut her foot on a 'piece of ink bottle. CLEAN UP. Now these two little feet healed up all right in a day or two, but another big boy, a neighbor, got a°nail through his shoe when he was trying to get snowballs off the big bush next .door. This prayed to be seriots. Blood pois- oning set in. :I I heard Billy's mother and father talking about it. Mr. Smith was ber- ating Mrs. Smith for not seeing that the yard was kept as safe as the house. And she in turn told him it was his job. "The children have orders to keep where it's safe," she said. "I do watch their playground." He scoffed at this. "Orders! Humph! They hop all over the place. Get Tony tomorrow to go over the whole yard and the one next door too. Tell him net to leave even a rusty We cannot all have Tonics to pick up far us, but we do 'have, hands. Yards should be_ kept as safe as houses. I Think We Should be Glad I think we should be glad no one can buy The precious pathways of the purple sky, The little stars, that light the magic night, And the white ;noon that shines for our delight. • I think we should be glad no one can steal Our thoughts our dreams the ecstasy we feel That faith can give us casting fear aside,— Knowing that God is near, whate'er betide. —May Austin Low. • Adenoids Prevent Normal Breathing It is important to teach every child to breathe through his nose. By this means the air is warmed before it reaches the lungs and the risk of trouble there is lessened. A. sufficient supply of oxygen to the lungs is as- sured and development is assisted, If thi, nasal passages are not used, the nose becomes pinched, the palate and teeth altered in shape and the child gets a vacant expression. Even if the child breathes norm- ally, however, adenoids should be con- ridered if ear troubles and frequent colds occur, In these cases the child shows lack of energy; he would just as soon sit about as join in the bois- terous games of the healthy child, As a rule, his sleep is disturbed kind, in consequence, he is too tirecl to pay much attention to what is said to him. For this reason he appears tnentaiIy dull, if lecessary adenoids should be re- acters in London --a man destined to moved. With early treatment all the win an international reputation.

Moen tells Jack Rattray, chief officer, who Is an old friend of Matt, that she', is upset by the appearance of a repulsive looking pial wearing a fur -collared over- codt, CFIAPTER, I,- (Cont'd.) "Oh!" said Rattray, conscious that duty called him but held against his will by the: girl's unaccountable: mood. "When did you see.athis furry bird? And was it his collar or his overcoat you didn't like?" "His face! Ile looked into the open door of my stateroom while Matt was up in your cabin. T didn't actually see him --I was unpacking—but I saw his reflection in my hand mirror; When I turned,he wasn't there." "Do you mean he was actually in the room --fur collar end all?" "No—foolish idiot! He was stand- ing just in the doorway, and he was sn.:ling, ...the' most iorrible smile imaginable." "An Englishman?" "Oh, no, he wasn't! A Chinaman." "A Chinaman! In a fur' coat! No wonder you were shaken up!" "There was a queer musky smell, too—" t ,,.;.. "Have you seen hint since?" "Yes. I saw him afterwards on the dockside; looking up at me." "I think that settles it," said Jack Rattray reassuringly. "There was a bunch of stuff shipped by it Chinese agency down Limehouse way for a firm in Sydney. Sonie damn silly mis- take. They're hauling it out now— a hell of a job—from Number Three hold. This Oriental bird was prob- ably the half-wit responsible. It's given me more trfuble than the sp cis." "The specie?" - "Yes. We're a Spanish galleonthis trip, Eileen!" Rattray smiled'his slow smile. "Minted gold from the Bank of England, consigned to the Com- monwealth Bank of Australia. Look! It's just coming aboard. Two Mil- lions!" Open lorries were driven onto the dock. Eileen, looking down, could see, as tarpaulin covers were hauled off, that they were laden with small square boxes. "Hoo feeble!" she exclaimea. "Where's the regiment of guards with fixed bayongts?'.L "Not here, my child. Out of date. There's a police car full of 'tees out- side, though! Well, I must slip- off now, They've rushed this little lot aboard' us at the last moment; and I've got to find a safe home for it. Take my tip. Turn in with a book and, in you like, I'll have a nightcap sent along in about half an !actin: Leave it to ane. "You're a Kind Pip." said Eileen; and squeezed his arm affectionately. She had known Sack Rattray for three years. He had introduced her to Dawson Haig in Colombo—only a year ago.... As he went off with his slow, long strides, she turned and entered her cabin, looking at the books on the rack and pulling a wry face when she con- templated unpacking yet to be done. She had been on board since noon, and knew she was desperately lazy, But, then, Dawson Haig had stayed to lunch when it was announced that the ship couldn't sail—and Matt, the good angel, had hung on to the 'est passible minute, "Oh, bother!" she said. She was tired but excited. Her mental condition puzzled her. This was not the first time she had traveled alone. She was used to the sea and had taken her maiden voyage at the age of twelve, But the memory of that strange lemon -yellow facea glimpsed between upraised flaps of an astrakhan collar and the pulled down brine of a soft black hat, haunted her ridiculously. Of course, the man was some Chinese shipping agent. The apparent evil of his smile might have been no more that a distorted mace - tion in the mirror. She wondered if Dawson Haig would write.... Queer, that odor, tike musk. It seemed to hang about.... Yes, she would turn in and read. * * 4. "You see, Keainey," said Detective Inspector .Dawson Haig, staring up at an old print representing the classic fight between Sayers and Heernan which with many others decorated the bar, "officially my hands are tied. It's because I've always made a point of finding the loopholes in official regulations that I've got as far as I have." The poisonous character of the night may have been responsible, but the bar was sparsely populated. Two firemen, amiably drunk and probably' late for their ship, lolled in a corner, remote from that occupied by Kear- ney and Haig. They were inclined to song. A solitary, seedy -looking drink- er sat against the wall beneath the sporting picture gallery, smokieg his pipe and taking sips from a tankard. A • shirt -sleeved barman made up the company. I{earney smiled at the speaker, IIe regarded William Dawson Haig as one of the most remarkable char- -Miehael Beer'ney, now Milted States Consul at Colombo, at that time hav- ing been stationed in Liverpool, Cat- astrophe cane jest as Ilaig went up to Oxford, Endowed by his father with a load of debts and a posthumous V.C., he (it was characteristic of the' man) had enlisted in the Metropolitan Police Force. "It seems tie lee," Kearney remem- bered his saying, "that a man must be judged by what he can do—not by the decorations his ancestors won. I couldn't live in an office, and I can't afford the army. But I'll ]awake a first- rate copper!" He was today the youngest detec- tive-insp.ctor in the Criminal Inves- tigation Department, with a great fu- ture assured. Haig had laid Iii hat upon the counter, revealing a -head of dark. brown hair, cut close at the back Una sides, like that of a price fighter, but leaving a curly tuft on to,p. His clean- shaven pale face and dancing blue eyes "also might have belonged to a poten- tial lightweight champion. He had pleasantly irregular 'features, and his smile was a grin which wrinkled up the corners of his eyes irresistibly. When Haig grinned, everybody grin- ned. , "Regu:ations weren't made for you," said Kearney, laughing. "But I'In still in the dark, You leave the Wallaroo after lunch, with damatic farewells, and then bang me on the back„at the dock .gates at ten o'clock at night!" Haig raised his tankard; contem- plating it with interest, and: "I gave you a lift as far as Lime- house," he reminded Kearney. "You ought to be thankful for that. And the beer is good...." . Kearney banged the counter. The barman replenished the tankards. And, when he had retired: "What's afoot?" Kearney asked in a low voice. "I don't know!" was Haig's surpris- ing answer. "I can only think there's been a bad leakage'of news." He glanced suspiciously At the two firemen --they were endeavoring to harmonize "John Brown's Body." The solitary drinker drank unproved. Then: - "Some time ago," Haig went- on, "a co..signnient of pottery was sent from China to a firm in Birmingham. This consignment, unopened, was recon - signed to a Chinese firm in Sydney, per Messrs. King, shipping aegnts, of Limehouse. It was put on the Wal- laroo. I checked it myself, this morn- : ig "Was that how you managed to get down to see Eileen off?'' •"It was," Haig acknowledged, "and I blessed the chancel Now, here's what .I meant when I said my hands v, ere tied: neither K Division nor Scotland Yard have had power to open these cases of pottery. Oh, it's too damn silly to talk about --because I know for a fact that they are stuffed with gum'!" "Opium! But why send drug; from China to Australia via Birmingham!" Dawson Haig grinned and: "I'm glad you asked that," said he. "It shows you're interested! The rea- .san is this: the China, ships touching et Australian Ports get a hell of an overhauling. Stuff coming from Eng- land goes through without difficulty. Those cases are specified to contain Staffordshire pottery now!" "Great„ Scott!" said Kearney. "That's pretty clever." "Saddled by bur grandmotherly legislation, I did the next best thing, I .advised a pal of mine—Freeman, of the . Customs at Sydney—to do what w couldn't do. What happened?" IIe Manned about the bar again suspi- ciously. "The stuff was taken offat the last moment! I got news at the Yard two hours ago." "Bfit surely you can do something now?" "I can," Haig returned. He grinned again and emptied his tankard. "Open the cases?" "Oh, no! 'Mrs. Moggritlge,' who makes oar snappy laws, would never allow such a thing!" "Thee what?" "This: if I can get evidence tonight evidence I know to be there—I'll search the premises to which the 'pot- tery' has been moved. Then, I eau open the eases!" "Didn't you say the name war; Ring?" Haig nodded, "bressrs. Ring's warehouse adjoins tte. establishment of Jo Lung, other- wise `Shanghai Jo.' Jo Lung is the lad I'm after," "Who is Jo Lung?" "I thought," said Haig, sorrowfully regarding the speaker, "you were sup- posed to be an authority on China- town?" hina-town?" Kearney smiled, . "'I've written it up for my paper," he• eon fussed. (fie 'was London cor- 3,cspendent of the New York Uni- verse.) "But I seem to have over- looked do Lung!" "Don't wonder!" Haig admitted.' "He's not an easy Man to know. Apart from which, he isn't the Prime mover. The Big Chief is the man who aupceir• vised the removal of those eases fro . the Wallaroo tonight...." • "And who is the Big Chief?"

Ontario School Situation Subject of Survey Directed by the Ontario Public School Men Teachers' Association, a survey of elementary education in On- tario has been launched with a view to improving on this branch of school- ing. The basis of the survey is a questionnaire dealing with the ten principal phases of educational work, namely: curriculum, visual education, school administration, health, recrea- tion, libraries vocational guidance, de- linquents, home and school and radio. The co-operating bodies have been requested to have the questionnaire studied and answered by groups of twenty -Ave. They are to be forwarded to J. E. Robertson Toronto, committee chairman, before February lst, 1934. The questionnaires will be studied in detail by .a committee appointed by the directing association and on the information so obtained recommenda- tions to the Ontario Department of Education will be compiled and sub- mitted, The survey has been instituted with a µview to correcting faults ,found in the elementary educational system, Much criticiser bas been levelled at this branch in the past'•decade ancI the opinions 'sought are expecte, to fur- nish the committee with the views of all bodies actively interested in school Work. in order that the survey will be all -embracing the assistance of the Women's , Teachers' Federation, the Secondary Teachers' Federation, the Department of � Education, the Ontario Educational Association, the Home and School Club Association and simi- lar bodies have been induced to be actively interested in the endeavor, Motion Pictures Taken in the Dark Loudtrn.--For what. is claimed to be the first time in history a cinema- tograph film, bas been taken practi- cally in darkness by means of the infra -red rays which are invisible to, the human eye. This was done at a demonstration arranged by the iiinemeatograph Society here. A very small amount of red light was used to allow of the rapid ex- posures of a cinema camera. The film was quickly developed and shown to those present, the result being perfectly clear, but with the color ]imitations which are familiar to those who have Worked with these rays. Mr. Olaf Bloch, of the research; department of the Ilford Company, who has been responsible for the development of the possibilities of the infra -red rays, said that with a hidden infra -red lamp and camera it would be possible to take photograph of animals or human beings with. out their knowledge, Walla alalia Prisoners Must Eat One-third Less Walla, Walla, Wash, --The meant] jail is a little too popular and a lit tle too expensive; so the county coin ulissioners have decided to renmeda both defects, Effective Nov 1, cos( of meals for. -prisoners have been re duced one-third, or from 60 to 4/ cents a day by the simple expedient of providing two meals instead o' three daily.
