COVERING UP —Actress Sandra Giles, 23, slapped artist Phillip
Paval, threatened court action, and tearfully denounced photo-
graphers as she covered the midriff of "lady Chance," a nude
painting of her, The painting was unveiled at the opening of
the Fremont hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. Sandra claims she posed
for sketches for the painting in a bathing suit, and that the
finished pointing was to show her covered up.

How Can!?
13y Anne Armley
Q. IIow can I make bottles
leak -proof for taking in my
luggage on a trip?
A. Any bottle can be made
leak -proof, if, after the cork has
been tightly fitted into it, it is
dipped into melted paraffin.
Then tie a piece of heavy paper
over the top to make it even
more secure,
Q. How can I prevent rugs
from curling at the edges?
A, Make a thin starch, Dis.
wive a small amount of gum ara-
bic in a little water and add to
the starch. Turn the rug up.
side down and apply the solu•
lion with a paint brush. Let i1

Q. How can I remove yellow
Spots from old lace?
A. Either wet the lace and
spread it where it will freeze,
or wet it and spread in a very
hot sun. Either method may re-
quire several days to bleach
thoroughly, and it must be kept
wet all the time.
Q. How can I remove rust
from iron or steel?
A. There is nothing like a
touch of kerosene, applied with
powdered bath brick to give it
the proper amount of roughage,
Q. How can I make easy the
task of re -knitting a sweater?
A. The task of re -knitting a
sweater can be made easier if
the kinks are first ,taken out
1 the yarn. Wind the yarn in a
skein, tie together firmly, and
wash it in lukewarm water.
Then fold in a towel and put
in a warm place to dry. The
links will be gone when the
yarn has drier,
Q. How can I renew velvet?
A. Steam velvet over the
Spout of a tea -kettle. Place a
funnel in the spout and you
will be able to cover a larger
area.
Q. How can I make shoes wat-
erproof?
A. Shoes can be made water-
proof and also preserved by
melting a little beeswax, and
adding enough sweet oil to
snake it pour. Then warm the
shoe soles and pour on the mix-
ture while it is hot, Hold the
shoes near the fire until the
mixture is absorbed into the.
leather.
Q. How can I remove oil
(pots from carpets?
A. Cover the spots with paste
made 01 fuller's earth and wat-
pr and let it remain twenty-four
hours. If it is oil from oiled
itreets, scrub with benzine.
Q. How can I make the taste
0 olive oil more agreeable, it
someone considers it unpleasant?
A. A pinch of salt aids consid-
trably,

In tact, it was difficult to did-
tinguish the women from the men
— and the way they handled their
guns would certainly not give them
away,
This Is one, sport where there
aren't any "ladies rules," The wo-
men use the same guns, shoot on
the same squads under the same
conditions as the men — and are
not favored by any handicaps.
Most women who shoot skeet took
up the sport In "self-defence," be -
Ing married to ardent marksmen.
Rather than stay at hone while
husbands participated In shooting
meets, they gave It a try them-
selves. Now they are every bit as
keen ns the mets and compete with
them successfully, In Canada, about
40 per cent of the membership in
skeet clubs is fetnlnine.
Once bitten by the skeet bug, even
the most petite of these enthusiasts
happily totes a seven or eight pound
shotgun. Absorbing the "kick" from
a .12 gauge shell perhaps 100 tunes
in an afternoon requires certain
physical fitness!
But when they discard their shoot-
ing clothes and don party dresst•e,
Canada's shooting women look for
all the world as if they would run
In terror from a cap gun.
Hints For The
Summer Cottage
Summer homes are coming to life.
As the last traces of snow disap-
pear from the woods, the annual
ceremony of "opening up the cot-
tage" is performed by thousands of
Canadians.
Brooms and scrubbing brushes
play their pert, but the magic wand
which restores summer sparkle Is
a paint brush.
For instance, If the linoleum on
the floor looks shabby, yet is still
in tolerable condition, it can be
given a cont of color. Scrub It care-
fully, making sure that every trnee
of wax is removed. (Otherwise,
paint won't stick!). Apply one or
two coats of a good floor enamel.
Then, to make less obvious the in-
evitable dirt and sand tracked In
from the bench, mottle it with a
contrasting color.
You can do this by dipping a
piece of sponge in a shallow pan
paint, then dabbing It on the floor.
Or dip a brush in the paint, tap It
on a stick held in the left hand,
and achieve a spatter effect, (It
might be a good idea to practice
on n sheet of newspaper!) A final
coat of varnish will protect the
paint from summer wear -and -tear.

Humane Slaughter
Senator Humphrey will hold
hearings this week on a bill to
require humane methods of
slaughtering meat animals in
American -,packing houses. Al-
though ..such .methods are en-
forced by law. in most Euro-'
peen countries, they are not
mandatory in the United States
and, indeed, are rarely observ-
ed here. Cattle, sheep, calves
and hogs are commonly killed
here by techniques which subject
them to senseless terror and
suffering: they are dragged aloft
and suspended by a • chain
fastened around one hind leg;
then their throats are cut and
they are left to bleed to death,
It is entirely practicable to ren-
der the animals unconscious be-
fore slaughter, as Senator Hum-
phrey's bill would require, by
anesthetizing them with carbon
dioxide or by .stunning them
with electric tongs or a captive
bolt pistol.
Most of the major meat pack-
ers oppose this legislation, and
for some strange reason they
have found support for their
opposition in the Department of
Agriculture. The Department
says it "has always favored and
worked for humane methods in
all aspects of handling of ani-
mals" but that in this situation
it "Is guided by a sincere belief
that mandatory Federal legis-
lation would not be the best
way to assure continued pro-
gress in the solution of this pro-
blem." This may be sincere but
it is also unrealistic. In the first
place, voluntary cooperation,
althought sought for many
years, has not produced com-
pliance with decent standards.
In the second place, the depart-
ment has long used legislation
to assure humane treatment of
animals: for example, it en-
forces an effective law respect-
ing the treatment of animals in
transit to slaughterhouses. In
the third place, mandatory re-
gulations afford the most equi-
table and even-handed way to
obtain general observance of
humane slaughter methods.
Senator Humphrey's bill ought
to become law: — Washington

Wings in Flight
From nature is to be gained
more knowledge than from any
school or college. In fact, most
of the knowledge in books is
but what mas has learned from
a careful study of nature. Sci-
ence has gone back a hundred
million years...
We had only of late years seen
the earth, upon which we walk
and work, from the same height
that birds have known it for
centuries. Our 'gliding planes of
today are but the pictured evi-
dence of flight long, long ago
before man ever trod this earth!
Wonder of wonders is the
wing of every bird, When out-
spread, soaring high above the
earth, what is there more fas-
cinating to watch? An eagle,
hawk, sea gull, pigeon, heron,
'crane, starling—and that exqui-
site creature the humming bird
—each has its own marvelous
wings that fan the air in flight
—and each is a spectacle of won-
der and delight.
But nothing is so remarkable
as the use to which these wings
of birds are put—many migra-
ting thousands of miles from
their different stays throughout
the year. Birds in Hawaii, for
example, nest and breed in far-
away Alaska and then fly back
to those flower-scented islands
to play out their days of joy
and song.
The tiny humming bird is the
only land bird known which can
fly backward! And when its frail
and delicate bill is inserted in a
flower to gain its honey, its
wings work sofast that its small
body seems stationary in the
air. The down stroke then be-
comes an almost horizontal for-
ward stroke. It can even rise
straight up into the air!

And just think of the day's
work of one of these flying birds.
Take the friendly little house
wren. It is recorded that it has
fed its young 1,217 times during
the period of a single day! And
thet•e are birds that pile up food
for their young beside the nest
for future feedings. Busy crea-
tures, these feathered friends of
ours. Few drones among them.
As these birds fly above the
earth, how happy they seem!
How they enjoy life! How grace-
fully they float among the clouds
and carry the sunlight upon
their beautiful backs. Symme-
trically, smoothly they sail,
mindful of 'neither time nor
space! — From "Better Than
Gold," by George Matthew Ad-
ams.

(By G. W.,Montgomery)
Despite 5.53 Inches of rainfall during
May, seeding of spring grains has now
been completed. Farmers were busy
during the week either seeding corn
or getting the ground ready for the
seeding of corn and white beans, The
extreme cool weather still retards the
growth of spring seeded crops and
hay aidpastures.
Attendance at the Hensall and Clin-
ton Spring Shows was down consid-
erably due to inclement weather, The
60 Hereford steer calves, which were
shown and sold at the Hensall Fair by
the members of the Hensall Feeder
Calf Club brought an average price of
221c per pound with the Grand Cham-
pion calf bringing 281e per pound and
'the Reserve 27c.
-WON TURKEY AT FAIR
Wm
Mrs. ,. McVittle of Blyth, was the
lucky winner of the 20-1b, turkey that
was raffled by the Co -Op booth at the
recent Western Ontario '!'rade Fair.

"Now I've seen everything,"
said Partner, as he came into
supper last night,
"So ... and what's new now?"
I asked.
"Well, the starlings are nest-
ing in the hens' laying boxes!
Now what do you know about
that?"
The laying boxes, I should
add, are made in three tiers but
for some unknown reason the
hens use only the two lower
section. Evidently the starlings
thought so much wasted house-
room was a crime so they de-
cided to take over the top sec-
tion themselves. You have to
hand it to the starlings - they
make the most of every oppor-
tunity, whether Its in a hen-
house or a mailbox.
And another item of bird lore.
The swallows returned a week
ago - May 1st to be exact, It
was far too cold for the stable
doors to be left' open at the top,
Partner thought he might have
to cut a hole in the boards so
the swallows could get in and
out. But they found a broken
window - pane and were sool!i
busily engaged building their
wonderful nests on the rough
old beams in the barn. So we
have swallows and starlings
nesting but we still haven't
heard the frogs. Nor is .there
any sign of spring seeding
around here as we had another
heavy rain recently. The land is
getting pretty well water-logged.
However, as far as we are
concerned we have plenty to
occupy our time even if it is
wet outside. We have our grand-
son here on a visit. Dee and Art

came yesterday and left David
behind for a while. We won-
dered what would happen when
he woke up this morning and
found Mummy and Daddy gone,
Fortunately he was quite happy
and contented so we think the
first real test is over. Just the
same I expect by next week I
shall possibly have a lot more to
write about as I think Grandma
is in for a very busy week. How-
ever, Grandad will do his share
if the weather is fit for Dave
to go out. Or if we get com-
pletely run off our legs Joy and
Bob are ready to respond to an
SOS anytime,
Last week was a busy week
too. One day in:Toronto -- and
of course it rained. And on Fri-
day night a unique experience
- at least for me. I was invited
to the first County Rally of the
Girl Guides in Halton. It was
held in Burlington and there
were nearly a thousand Guides
taking part. Such an excited
group of youngsters, and all very
much in earnest. There were
folk dances, flag drills, a first
aid pageant and twenty - one
badge demonstrations. The grand
finale was the campfire, with
the Guides circling the impro-
vised camp fire and singing
songs with extraordinary suc-
cess, considering there had been
no rehearsal and the companies
were in most cases unknown to
each other. It was an excellent
demonstration of the possibility
of group work following good
training and discipline in each
company. Our local group - of
which daughter was one of the
first members - demonstrated
the Hiker's Badge and set
about building a campfire with
skill and intelligence. Others
were equally good but we must
admit the "Dairymaids" stole
the show. Malk maids, stable
boys and farm hands cattle on
to the scene leading a refrac-
tory cow complete with horns
and a well-filled udder! Var-
ious attempts were made to
"milk" Bossy who alternately
sat down on her haunches, got
up and kick e d, or pranced
around every which -way. It
was so well done and of course
the audience howled with laugh-
ter.
The next two days• my time
was taken up helping two octo-
genarian ladies who had lost an
octogenarian brother. All three
had led busy and useful lives,
and although they are all over
eighty, this is the first break
in their family circle. Those who
are left feel very lonely indeed.
Well, my grandson has got
tired of watching television and
is now busily engaged bringing
his whole collection of toys into '
the living room. That is, when
he isn't loving Robbie to death
or walking around with his
grandfather's gloves on his two
wee hands. With such an active
youngster I am sure his mother
is glad of a little respite es-
pecially as she had a most awful
cold yesterday, Ah, here comes
Mitchle - White so I expect he
will get a little more attention
than he is likely to welcome,
What amazes me is the under-
standing that seems to exist be-
tween chldren and domestic ani-
mals. Unless children are de-
liberately cruel, animals will

NOT ON THE PROGRAM -In this remarkable photo of unpro-
gramed tragedy in a Rome, Italy, circus act, the newscamera
catches a moment of tense drama. Tarzan, one of the lions, be-
came jealius of his cagemate, Tobruk, and killed him with a
blow of his paw. With the smell of blood exciting the other
animals, lion -tamer Darix determinedly held them at bay while
dragging Tobruk's body from the•cage.

Cruising On The
Saguenay River
The Saguenay In good weather Is
a yachtmnn's dream In more than
one respect. For the first 50 miles,
as the St. Lawrence River Pilot
points out, "sailing directions are
unnecessary , , , ns there lir neither
rock nor shoal in the fairway." Here
is the deepest river In North Ant.

water of the Saguenay Is almost as

Rare Diving
At least 300 tons of age-old
Scotch whisky lies aboard an
old-time sailing ship resting on
the bottom of the ocean sixty ,.
miles from Bhisbane, Australia.
Soon a group of underwater
frogmen start diving for it. And
there will be no shortage of
helpers, for the whisky cargo is
probably intact as it lies be-
neath a layer of sand, which acts
as a preservative. But it is likely
to be a dangerous operation at
such a depth.
The vessel is the Scottish
Prince, an all -metal windjam-
mer of 800 tons that sank in
1800. Old records were studied

Try Something New
Usually on a special page of
the seed catalogue will be listed
brand new varieties and novel-
ties.. Among these will be the
All-American winners for this
year. These are new flowers and
vegetables that in Canadian and
American field trials last lyear
were awarded the most points,
A few of these will certainly
add colour and interest to any
border.
In the vegetable lines there
are a whole lot of improved
productions. New, faster grow-
ing and crisper radish, more
tender carrots, new beans, beets
and corn. Over the years plant
breeders have given us tre-
mendous improvement in all
vegetables. Not only are the va-
. rieties grown today tar more
tender than those of a genera-
tion ago, but they are also much
earlier and more disease resis-
tant. With these it is possible
to have a gond garden with
much variety in areas where it
was hardly safe to risk any-
thing but the toughest things
before. This progress has meant
more to Canada than miist
countries 'bemuse our growing
season is so short.
Fe.rtilivnr
Conn tercial fertilizers contain
three, main elements; nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash
These are usually indicated in
a .formula on the bag or box,
thus 2-4-6 or 0-4-2 or some
Fin,il••,. ,v,mh'h • t..,�, I`h,' first
figure indicate, the amount of
nitrogen; the • second phosphoric
acid and the last the proportion
of potash. If, for example,. we
want to encourage green growth
as in grass, lettuce, cabbage and
such, we choose a fertilizer high
in. the first mentioned element.
If it is root growth we are in-
terested in, such as beets and
potatoes, we use more potash.
Sometimes certain soils are very
deficient in one of these ele-
ments and wenaturally select a
fertilizer to remedy that defi-
ciency,
Chemical fertilizer is potent
stuff and it should`.be handled
carefully and according to di-
rections, Itesults are literally
amazing, It will start flowers
and vegetables growing quickly,
will make grass green almost
overnight. The safest way to
apply to lawns and flower beds
is to dissolve in' water and
sprinkle during or just before a
rain, This prevents any burning
injury to the grass or flowers.
With vegetables we usually
sprinkle along the rows close to
the plants but not actually
touching them and then culti-
vate in,

It is not too late to have a

The Gospel Overcomes
Paganism
Acts 19:9 8-10, 23-27
Ephesians 5:15-18
Memory Selection: Ye were.
sometimes darkness, but now
are ye light in the Lord: walk
as children of light. Ephesians
5:8,
It has been said that. wher-
ever Paul went he had either a
revival or a riot, In Ephesus he
had both and the revival was in
a sense the cause of the riot.
Paul had visited briefly at
Ephesus on his return from
Corinth on his second mission-
ary journey, Now on his third
missionary journey he comes to
Ephesus, the third largest city
in the Roman 13np1re. As usual
he entered the synagogue. Af-
ter three months, opposition be-
came so acute that he retired to
a school where he continued
teaching for two years. The sick
were healed and evil spirits
were cast otit;-$even sons, exor-
cists, began to�,,t}se the name of
Jesus to cast,. out demons but
were badly beaten by a demon
possessed man Many turned
from paganism' to Jesus Christ.
Many brought their books of
magic and burned them in a
huge bonfire. The total cost of
these approximated the wages
of 130 laborers for a year. The
city was greatly moved, The
silversmiths who made silver
shrines for the goddess Diana
saw their business falling ofi,
Demetrius, their leader, made a
rousing speech inciting them to
anger. To the public they did
not emphasize the money angle
but rather the religions, shout-
ing, "Great is Diana of the
Ephesians." They caught two
of Paul's companions. Soon a
riot was on, "Some therefore
cried one thing, and some an-
other: for the assembly was
confused; and the more part
knew not wherefore they were
come together." The town clerk
finally quieted the people.
The lesson closes with a se-
lection from the letter Paul
later wrote to the church at
Ephesus, In it he says. "Be not
drunk with wine, wherein is
excess; but be filled with the
Spirit," On a conservative esti-
mate, 10 of every 1000 adults in
Canada are alcoholics. Sixty
per cent of these 150,000 are in
the semi -skilled, skilled, white
collar, professional, managerial
and proprietory occupational
groups. But you need never be-
come an alcoholic if you •heed
the warning of Solomon: "Look
not thou upon the wine when it
is red; when it giveth his col-
our in the cup, ,when it moverh
itself aright, At the last it biteth
like a serpent, and stingcth like
an adder," Proverbs 23:31.32.
This is the season when moth-
ers go crazy trying to keep
track of the children they've
been longing to turn loose out-
of-doors all winter long.

TIILFMM FONT
No aspect of potato produc-
tion has . received more com-
ment in recent years than that
of quality, Mr. N. Parks of the
Central Experimental Farm,
gays that quality in potatoes
mpy be divided into three cate-
gories, namely, food quality,
market q u alit y, and cook-
ing q u alit y. The qauli-
ty in each of these three cate-
gories depends upon, and may
be affected, by a large number
• of factors. Two factors that
exert a profound influence on
potato quality are: preparation
of the soil and fertilization of
the crop.
• • ••
A soil in which the fertility
level and, organic matter con-
tent has been built up and
maintained through crop ' rota-
tions will consistently produce
higher quality potatoes . than a
soil where the nutrient require-
ment for a crop is supplied
through heavy applications of
commercial fertilizer. Fertiliza-
tion or the potato crop should
be based on ti4 anticipated crop
requirement in relation to the
known available nutrients in
the soil as determined by soil
analysis.
• • •
Most potato soils are deficient
In potash and the cheapest and
most commonly used form of
this element is muriate of po-
tash which contains potassium
and chloride. In soils ,requir-
Ing heavy applications of po-
tash, trouble is often encounter-
ed when the muriate form is
used because of the action of
the chloride on the tubers. It
decreases the dry matter con-
tent of the potato and increases
the tendency of the tuber to
darken when cooked. If soil
fertility Is kept at as high and
as well balanced a level as pos-
sible through proper crop rota-
tions, the potash requirements
of the soil will probably not be
great enough to warrant an ex-
cessively heavy application of
commercial fertilizer to meet
the need of a current crop of
potatoes. If for some reason
heavy application of commer-
cial fertilizer must be made, a
portion of the muriate of po-
tash may be applied either on
a green manure crop or to the
soil — but in the fall of the
year before planting the pota-
toes. A large percentage of the
chloride will then be dissipated
before it can be absorbed by
the potatoes, This method of ap-
plying potash in the muriate
form has been adopted in Europe
SAO'S SAMES
"Hero's a blend some say Is a
bit old•fashioned. It just smells
nice;'
and the results have been con-
sidered satisfactory.
• • •
The problem of growing high
quality potatoes is complex,
The variety to grow, the ma-
turity of the crop at harvest
time,, methods of handling and
storage temperature are but a
few of the additional factors af-
fecting quality. Nevertheless,
experiments indicate that im-
portant factors are good soil
management and proper fertili-
zation of the crop. To accomp-
lish this the potato grower must
consider adopting a crop rota-
tion suitable for his district and
'basing fertilization practices on
crop re9uirements, time of ap-
plication,. and . soil analysis.

.The most significant feature
of the beef cattle industry in
Canada is the remarkable in-
crease in the consumption of
beef. In 1955 Canadian ate 72
pounds of beef per capita. This
is approximately 27 pounds or
37.5 per cent higher than the
per capita consumption figure
for 1952.
Last year the inspected kill
of cattle averaged 32,733 head
per week and the beef cattle ex-
port for, the whole year for
slaughter or for feeding was
about two per cent of the cattle
marketed in Canada. To date
this year cattle marketings are
about 9 per cent over the same
period in 1955. The inspected
kill has been up an average of
2,760 cattle more per week than
a year ago.
• •
The number of cattle and
calves on farms in Canada at
the present time is probably at
the top of the present cattle
cycle, and cattle numbers will
likely soon begin to show a de-
cline. However, for the first
time on the North American
continent cattle numbers have
risen to a peak in the cattle
cycle at a time when there are
enough people to eat practically
all of ,the beef at reasonably
satisfactory prices. Therefore
there is not the same necessity
to make a downward adjustment
of cattle prices.
The Canadian consumer is
buying more and more of the
top grade of beef as indicated
by the increased numbers of
Red and Blue brand beef over
the past few years. In 1938 the
average weekly number of Red
and Blue carcasses in the kill
was approximately 5,900 and this
represented 21 per cent of the
total kill, The weekly average
so far this year of Red and Blue
grades has been 13,700 which
represented nearly 42 per cent
of the total kill, In one week
this year the two top grades
combined made up 50 per cent
of the inspected slaughter. The
total numbers of Reds and
Blues was about 15,500. and this
was fairly evenly divided be-
tween these two grades with
nearly 8,000 Reds and, 7,500
Blues.
• • •
The increase in demand for
Red and Blue carcasses has
created a year round market for
these grades. In 1955 the week-
ly average of Md and Blue
combined was about 11,700 car-
casses, The lowest period was
during the month of Septem-
ber when the total of these two

grades dropped to about 10,-
000 weekly. The average for the
-whole year was about 11,600.
The increase in feedlot fatten-
ing of cattle supplies the market
during the winter, spring, and
early summer. From then on,
grass fattened cattle predomin-
ate.
• • •
This change in marketing de-
mands, has resulted in a more
efficient use of pasture because
with an assured outlet right
through the pasture season there
is not the necessity, as was the
case at one time, of trying to
reach the early market before
the seasonal break in prices. In
other words there is now a
steady outlet for the top grade
cattle right through the year.
• • •
Last ' year Canadian cattle
producers did a good job of
shipping their cattle into the
markets in about the right
numbers that could be handled
in the domestic trade. This was
one of the main influences in
keeping prices at a fairly steady
level all year. Cattle prices in
Canada are related in a gene-
ral way to the price levels in
the U.S.A. If there is a surplus
of beef in Canada the Ameri-
can prices tend to create a
level below which Canadian
prices do not fall. If there is a
shortage in Canada the eost of
cattle er beef in the United
States acts as a ceiling above
which Canadian prices will not
go.
What the immediate future
holds for cattlemen depends
upon the number of cattle on
feed. That is, the numbers to
come to market and particularly
the trend of prices in the
U.S.A. Looking at the picture
from a long term view there is
reason to believe that the fu-
ture is bright, both in Canada
and the United States. Over the
next few years emphasis will
probably be placed on the ef-
ficiency of feeding and atten-
tion given to improved methods
of marketing.
Jailed For Stealing
From Himself!
"That was the Metropole Hot-
el — there's been ‘a robbery,"
said the duty sergeant at Can-
non Row Police Station, West-
minster, Such calls were rou-
tine, causing little excitement,
but this one was to prove in-
triguingly different.
A few moments after it was
made a tall, smartly dressed
man left the station and walk-
ed rapidly in the direction of
the hotel, Had you noticed him
you might have thought' that
he was. from the Foreign Office
or, maybe, a bank manager. You
would hardly have placed him
as a detective from the C.I.D.
And when he entered the
bedroom of Mr. George Marsh-
all to investigate the robbery,
that portly and pompous solicit-
or was somewhat taken aback.
He had not expected to find a
detective in his bedroom with-
in half an hour of reporting his
loss.
"How much has been taken,
sir?" inquired the C,I.D,, man,
James 'Berrett.
"Twelve thousand pounds,"
boomed the lawyer, "Ten, one -
thousand -pound notes and four
five -hundred -pound notes,"
"Then the first thing I'll ask
you for is their numbers." Ber-
ra+t took ,out his notebook.
'I haven't got them," admit-
ted Marshall,
"Then your clerk will have
them?"
"Er , quite. 1 will see
about ;!."
Berrett soon had tire clear
outline of the affair as present.
ed to him by the lawyer.
Marshall had. come from Bel-
ford, Notts, the previous even-
ing with his wile. He left a
leather wallet containing docu-
ments and the 112,000 in notes
with the hotel clerk for safe
keeping.
• Next morning he took the
wallet to his room, removed a
document, checked the notes,
locked the wallet and put it
down by the window,
That was about ten o'clock.
He then went downstairs to the
barber shop for a shave, but
had to wait, When he return-
ed an hour later he found the
wallet cut- open and the notes
gone,
When n detective is told so
straightforward a story by a
prominent solicitor and J.P., he
does not immediately take it
for a pack of lies. But just as
truth has an accent of its own,
so has untruth,
Berrett, gifted with that
sixth sense without which no
man makes a good criminal in-
vestigator, began to smell a
rat.
There was no sign of entry
anywhere, But there were curi-
ous aspects in the case. For ex-
ample, he reflected, why should
a thief cut the leather all round
the lock to get at .the contents
when he could have picked it
up and carried it away?
Then, again, why was an
open trunk untouched?
The detective lifted the top
garment, Just beneath was a
small pile .of sovereigns.
"Curious, sir," he observed,
"that the thief did not touch
this."
"Not at all," retorted Mar-
shall, "he had taken all he
needed 1"
A case for investigation
thought Berrett — for the in-
vestigation a! Mr. George Mar-
shall.
Marshall practised with his
brother, and one of their many
distinguished clients was the
Duke of Newcastle, All over
Retford, Berrett found the name
of Marshall to stand high, But
he also found that George Mar-
shall was living rather: more
lavishly than might be expect-
ed; and he came upon several
people to whom the solicitor
owed money. '
Months of work, hundreds of
interviews, journeys to many
towns were necessary before the
whole story became plain. It
was the old one — that of the
embarrassed debtor who robs
Peter to pay Paul.
Marshall had lived beyond
his means. The Duke of New-
castle had sold a property for
£40,000 and instructed the so-
licitor to hold the money until
further orders. No orders came
for two years.
During that time, to meet
pressing debts, the harassed so-
lIcitor began to gamble with the
duke's money. If 'he could make
money quickly, he could get
himself out of the mess.
Things were looking desper-
ate when Marshall came into
contact with a short, snub-nosed,
voluble man who promised him
the fortune he needed.
"Invest with me, and you'll
find yourself quickly the richer
for it;" he promised, "There's
nothing like gold mines and I
control the finest in Wesit'rn
Australia."
Thus the solicitor, who should
have been more astute, fell for
the big talk of Whitaker
Wright, the financier whose
downfall shook the financial
city of London and brought
thousands to ruin.
Whitaker Wright was under
arrest, and creditors were press-
ing on all sides on the day that
Mr, Marshall set out for Lon-
don with his wife.
For now the duke wanted' an
accounting and his money had
gone except six £1,000 notes,
Desperate, banking on his high
standing to escape suspicion, the
hard -driven gambler had faked
the robbery.
George Marshall was duly
arrested by Berrett, and sent to
jail.
Starting, as all must, as a
uniformed constable, James Ber-
rett had not worn out his first
pair of boots on the beat when
he earned the coveted riband of
the Royal Humane Soci9ty for a
gallant rescue.
Now, by 1926, bearded and
looking just a bit like the late
King Edward' VII, it was Chief
Inspector Berrett who went by
fast car, along with Sergeant
Harris, to assist the Essex po-
lice, following a request from
the Chief Constable of that
county.
P.C. Gutteridge had been
found shot dead in a lonely
lane. That was fact No, 1. The
Morris -Cowley belonging to Dr.
Lovell, of Billericay, had been
stolen some hours earlier. That
was fact No. 2. ,
Was there any connection?
The answer came when the doc-
tor's car was found abandoned
in a Brixton passage. Blood
was on the running board, there*
was a dented mudguard, grass,
dirt, and, more important, an
empty cartridge case.
Find the revolver from which
that bullet was fired and we
have the murderer, reasoned
Berrett,
And even as the thought
crossed his mind a name flash-
ed up — Frederick Guy Brown.
Brown was known to run ti
phoney garage and to deal in
stolen cars. He also had a rec-
ord as a violent criminal.
He was eventually arrested
in his Battersea garage, and
there the detectives found a
loaded Webley, skeleton keys,
a torch, jemmy and doctor's in-
struments.
The full story of the hunting
down of Brown and his drunken
Irish partner, Kennedy, is long
and involved and includes a
flying visit to Sheffield.
This journey was made by
car. At Markham Moor, near
Tuxford, Notts, a stop was made
to refuel.
Because police officers have
to render expense accounts,
Berrett asked for a receipt for
the payment for the gas. As
the car moved oft' he happened
to glance at it.
"Well, here's an omen!" he
exclaimed a moment later.
"Look at this!"
At the bottom of the receipt
the garage man had put his rub-
ber stamp. It consisted of a gal-
lows from which swung a
corpse, and the words: Settled
with thanks,
That receipt is now in the tnu-
seum of Scotland Yard. It was
a sheer coincidence, but as an
omen it proved true, for Brown
and Kennedy were both con-
victed and executed. They had
forgotten the well-known rule
of the underworld: Never kill a
cop, or you'll have the whole lot
on to you,
From the bottom rung of the
ladder to the top took James
Berrett close on thirty-nine
years to climb, When he retir-
ed, his burly, bearded figure
was known to every crook in
London. But none bore him R
grudge, for "Gentleman" Ber-
rett always played fair He
might have been a confounded
nuisance at times, but he was
always on the level,
Modern
Etiquette...
Q. How should one take leave
of persons to whom one has just
been introduced?
A. You can say, "Good -by, I
am very glad to have met you."
To one who has been especially
interesting, or who is somewhat
of a personage, you may say,
"It has been a great pleasure
to meet you."
Q. When a woman is wearing
gloves, should she apologize for
not removing the right glove
when she shakes hands?
A. No; nor should she make
any attempt to remove the
glove,
Q. If one is eating a steak or
something similar, isn't it all
right to cut several mouthfulls
at a time before eating?
A. No; one should cut a single
bite at a time.
Q. Is it ever proper to use
the knife to cut the salad when
dining?
A. When it can be done easi-
ly, use just the fork. Sometimes,
however, lettuce can be tough
to manage, and in that case it is
quite all right to use the knife.
Q. If a man brings a gift
when calling on a girl, should
she open it immediately or lay it
aside until he has gone?
A. She would most certainly
show better manners and more
appreciation if she opened it at
once,
Q. Is it proper to tip the hotel
doorman who lifts your bags
out of the taxi to the sidewalk?
A. No.
Q, Is it proper for a host or
hostess to interrupt some dis-
cussion among their guests?
A. Not if it is a friendly dis-
cussion. However, if an embar-
rassing situation arises, or an
angered discussion seems im-
minent, the host or hostess
should intervene with a quick
change of subject.
Q. For how long should the
bread and butter plates be left
on the dinner table?
A. Until it is time to serve the
dessert.
