SCANLAN (Author of "Pencarrow") 10'YNOPSIS Mere we see a group of young poo ppie carried on the tides of youth 7toung Kelly Penoarrow Anally settler ' down on the Pencarrow farm, with Genevieve, his cousin, as housekeeper, Who is in love with her cousin, Robin Merrick. Cousin Neil Macdonald be. comes engaged to Frena doicey-Goff, Peter Pencarrow is showing interest In Maisie Kite, a typist. The family is suddenly faced with the serious illness of Sir Miles Pen ',arrow. Maisie's brain throbbed. She bit leer lip and held her head high. So that was it—she was sacked. Why? All this talk of reorganizing the of- lice fTice was rubbish. She was sacked. Did Robin know? Of course he must. Perhaps not, Sir Miles had sent him off on a couple of weeks' holiday to Napier as a reward for the long months of heavy work and responsibility he had had during Miles's illness. He and his mother were in Napier now. What clid it mean? She was not aware of hav- ing transgressd in any way. She could hear Sir Aliles's voice saying he would give her a letter of the highest commendation—personal recommendation. What did she care? She was sacked. Why? Did Robin know? Her mind went round, asking the same question over and over. Miles ceased to speak but she did mot move. Sacked! To begin all over again. She felt suddenly tired .--tired from the unequal struggle. "Good afternoon, Miss Rite," Suddenly her mind came back to the immediate present. "Good afternoon, Sir Miles." She kept the tears back while she put on her hat and coat. Outside the wind howled, a spiteful east wind, and she bent her head and plunged along, holding her coat TO BE SORE YOU GET Fast Relief Get tin of 12 tablets or economical bottle of 24 or 100 at any druggist's.

At Stewart Daws son's corner she paused and stood in the recess for shelter a moment, her eyes now stinging with .tears of an- ger. Blindly she was staring at a row of silver cigaretee-and-sower eign-cases. "Hullo, Maisie! Whose birthday is it—mine?" Kelly stood beside her. "I'd like that one," he said, pointing to a massive one in gold. She kept her head averted to hide the tears. • "What's up? Maisie! What's the matter?" he asked, suddenly aware of her misery. "I've been sacked, Kelly." "Sacked!" he said, puzzled. "Who sacked you?" "I've been saacked by your father." "Father! What a damn' shame. Who's at the bottom of this?" His sudden sympthy lessened her control and she could not answer. "Here! I've got the car round the corner. Hop in; want to talkpeated• to you about this." (To be continued) "There's nothing to say, Kelly." "Oh, isn't there'? Come on!" "Where are you going?" "Hoare'." said Kelly. "We can't talk here." Robin and Kitty got back next day and Norah asked all the fancily to dinner. Genevieve was still at home, having made first one and then another excuse for postponing her return to Kelly, and her father encouraged her. He did not want her to go back to the Hutt. Genevieve thought it better not to go until she and Robin had told the family of their engagement. She wanted to be free, as it were, in order to move swiftly if neces- sary. Miles had insisted upon Robin having a holiday as he looked tired, 60 once again they decided to defer the announcement. "It may be the last holiday Mother and I will have together like this, and I want to make it something she will remember, and if wetold her now that would spoil it a11." "I suppose you're right," said Genevieve. "You don't mind, do you darling? Just two weeks more.

Then a brief silence fell, Kelly took his pipe , from his mouth, looked at its dark bowl, and deliberately . struck a match. He puffed two or three times, then, satisfied that it was alight, leant back into a corner of the couch. "Why did you sack Maisie Kite, Father?' The question was crashed into their mood like a stone hurled. through glass. "What!" said Genevieve, amazed,` sitting up. Crimson rushed into Robin's face. Kitty was distinctly uneasy and Miles frankly annoyed. Norah alone did not appear to realize the impli- cation. Kelly waited for his father to swer him. "Why did you sack her?" he "No, it's not that; but something is always happening," Robin looked brown and well and Kitty was high in spirits when they got back fom Napier. "We've had the loveliest holiday, Norah. Robin is such a darling, I don't think any mother ever had such son. He spoilt me complete- ly." Kelly was silent throughout din- ner and listened to all the happy holiday talk as though it were of small importance. The evening was chilly, and a cheerful fire burnt in the grate. Matra were drawn up, and Gene- vieve, her elbows on her knees, her shoulders hunched, sat on a stool and Miles rested a lean, brown hand for a moment, on her head. Fre- quently now he made .these affec- tionate gestures, having at last broken through the shell of cold re- D VERY R D INDOW an- re - Marriage, Studies Said Not to Mix. Boston—Get a college education first, then get married (if you want to), but don't mix the two. That is the advice of formern Justice Robert J. Peaslee of the New Hampshire Supreme C,ourt, now a lecturer at the Boston University School of Law on domestic relations. "Students who marry while they are in college are handicapping their chances for happiness," Judge Peas; lee said in an interview. "Married life, in order to be suc- cessful, should be centred about a home and family, not around classes and study. Home life more than any- thing is important to a happy mar- riage." Judge Peaslee maintained that the good effects of co-operation and mutual interest that come with mar- riage are lessened by the fact that students are likely to live in a board - Russia and Rubber II PROGRESS' OF SOVIET ,UNION 11W ITS SEARCH FOR $UuSTITUTEs 'When the Soviet Union promillg.e. fed Its flrst live -year plan the world heard much of Russian attempts to Solve the problem or rubber. Latex bad always been imported. 1.1'ence- l forth, it was decided, the Union mutt either disco`¢er within its own 'bor. dors plants that yield something like rubber or develop its own processes for, the (synthetic production of the •pj€iterial, The Union has done both, It has plantations coveting 79,000 acres on whichrubber-like plants grow, and !t has factories' in which rubber is made out of alcohols and acetylene.. The plantations are the visible ev- idence of a' successful search for plants of the. right species. Year as ter year 1auropean Russia and Sib- eria were combed for roots, shrubs, trees and bushes that yielded what might be a tell-tale milk. At last tau-sagiz was . discovered in Central Asia. That was in 1929. Moscow lot no time in spreading the glad news throughout the world. Probably the discovery received as much publicity as Edison's effort to produce a rub- ber substitute from golden rod. Tau-sagiz is a shrub. Its roots contain a gum coagulated in fibers. From 15 to 30 per cent. of the dried weight of the roots consists of this gum. A.' survey made in 1933 re- vealed that 15,000,000 tau-sagiz shrubs grow wild in Soviet territory. Twenty million more were cultivat- ed on plantations a year ago. Beside tau-sagiz there are two other gum -bearing plants. One, kok- saga., was found in Kazakistan in 1931; the second, crim-sagiz, in the I Crimea a year later. Both are weeds much like dandelion; both flourish in the damp, salty earth of moun- tainoun) country. The production of synthetic rub- ber follows American lines. Like other chemists through the world, those of the Soviet Union recognized at once the importance of chlorop- rene, discovered by Father Nieuw- land of Notre Dame and developed by Dr, Carrothers of the du Pont la- boratories.

High Cost of Weddings Cut' The Chinese Glovernment recent ly delivered a telling blow at the high cost of weddings, when 57 couples marched to the altar togeth- er and were married in a simple ceremony, with General Wu Tell- Chen, Mayor of Shanghai, officiat- ing. Aimed at setting an example of economy to the nation in accordance with Generalissimo Chiang Kai- Slhek's "New Life" Movement, the ceremony was devoid of all the frills and extravagance characteristic of the traditional Chinese wedding. The couples ascended the platform in groups of four, bowed three times before ' the statue of Sun Tat -Sen, 0414.103 m'a7i'tiTacture.... - '.'Father of theTi�epu�lic," bowed, e' lierore'eaCh "other 'acid' once to - W nl' w 114 Ilk ml ,11 ra nu tri 1 M lel IA IIA 114 nil lin 1111 W .11 eu WHAT DOES YOUR HANDWRITING All Rights GEOFFREY ST.

As a result I have received quite a number of letters from readers ex- pressing their agreement with my comments. But one correspondent took issue with me, and all because of certain things I had told him about himaeli. Apparently I had told hini that. he thought too much about himself that he was too self-satisfied. He said that he was not at all like this—but it took him eight large pages to tell me what he did think about himself. There is noth- ing very much to answer to this gentleman, excepting to express the conviction that if he thought he needed eight large pages to give me his opinion of himself, then indeed' my previous observations about him.' were correct; that, indeed, he did think too much of himself! In the same mail' there cane $ very broadminded letter from a man of forty years of age. Ile thanked' me for analysing his character, and went on to. say: "Thank you fol giving me the best laugh I've had in years—a laugh not at you, but at myself! When I wrote to you for a character analysis I did it with my tongue in my cheek, as it were. I didn't for a moment believe that you. could tell me anything like the truth.. But you have done just that. You told ine that I was selfish and sell'- centred, and was very much inclined to study my own self-interest. Well that was a good one on me, because Abe sufficiently broadminded to know that you have got me down tis exactly as I ain, 1 admire your coa- age in telling mo the uepalatablc Inexl�lro CleatiTeith Svoarea et sastom van stems show me no mercy!" Now, it isn't everyone who can be so broadminded about his,;t"ults— but. there is a lesson in tills letter, and that is the reason I have quoted it. There is no virtue in fooling our- selves! urselves1 Most people have faults of one kind or another—and it is the height of wisdom to wish to learn about thein, so that they may be rec- tified.

Each marriage. was completed in two minutes. The government charged each couple the equivalent of $7 for the ceremony, the price including the certificate and a gift to the bride. This was in startling contrast to the customary Chinese wedding which sometimes throws the young couple into debt for life. British Writers Are Criticized New York — A Briton recently praised the "gusto" of American novelists and said British readers are turning more and more to American novels for qualities of ex- citing entertainment. Norman Collins, partner in a Lon- don publishing firm, said: "When I read an American novel I think of a good dogfight, with something bap - peeing all the time. "In England they are mostly on leashes and are not likely to start a fight. "Or you can think of it as a nice canter, with the author mentally pouring tea for himself en route, as against a steeplechase, with a lot of horses falling, but action, excitement and gusto every minute. "That is why American books are being read in England, rather than the writings of our frightfully clever young men, who are ashamed of their emotions and have successfully di- vested themselves of ' intellectual curiosity." "The secret of being miserable it to have leisure to bother aboue whether you are happy or not." George Bernard Shaw.
