As the sched: ule is played out the stars of the teams opposing the Blues are singled out for spectacular death on the play: ing field by shooting or mysterious poisoning, or are put out of commis. sion by serious injury. Whitper, Phil adelphia pitcher, is shot through the heart; four Boston players are sent to the hospital by the wrecking of their taxi; Dirkin, Chicago's star bat- -ter, Is poisoned, and Pietro, Chicago bat boy disappears; Scotter, St. Louis pitching ace, is poisoned; Rawlins, Chicago manager, is hanged in the liotel rocm adjoining his own. When Penny, Dectroit"s star pitcher, refuses to play againct the Blues, baseball's Czar calls a meeting of club owners. Terry Burke has had beats on most of these sensational murders for. the Star and Detective Kelly at first sus. pects both him and Larry Doyle, the Bluzs' rookie ghortstep. Clark sends Larry to Newark but he is soon sold to Pecston and then to Washington, At Clark's suggestion, the owners ask Terry to help them uncover the mur der gang and he agrees.

Then Lelcalled Alice's room and she did not answer. Terry wandered about the hotel lobby worried and uneasy. Corbaps Alice had gone out for a wali. He sat down facing the door. He had plenty of time to think, IFor weeks he had been afraid of what might happen to him, and now when he had done everything possible to Invite disaster nothing happened. Had they out-thought him this time? Or lid they think he knew nothing, but he threads he had gathered together made it seem highly he was on the right track. There was m0 other explanation possible. If it wasn't Tony Murallo, as he had be- lieved all along, then it had to be a group of individuals who had first- hand, baseball information at their fingertips. But why did Murallo bet 80 much on the Blues to win? Where was Alice, anyhow? 'Call for Mr. Burke! Burke!" . ~ Terry jumped to his feet and inter- cepted the bell boy. It was a 'phone call and Terry hur- ried to the booth. A volce said: "Burke, if you want to see your girl again, you will do as you are told." Terry gasped; the voice. went on: "Take a cab and go to the outskirts .of the city on the Baltimore Pike. Dismiss the cab at the city limits and wait until the cab has turned back and gone. Proceed along the Baltimore Pike on foot until you come to a sedan on the edge of the road, The curtains will be drawn. Open the door on the left-hand side and get in. If you are followed, your girl will go where Pietro has gone. Get that?" ' Terry was frantic. "Wait a min- ute!" he sald, and then he repeated the instructions. There was a click on the other end of the wire; it went dead.

He was probably being watched at the hotel. He jumped into cursed a cab, and carefully instructed the driver. He had a gun. Kelly had in- sisted that he carry one, but they would probably frisk him the first thing. Should he put up a fight when he got into the cab or just do as he was told? He couldn't risk harm to Alice. No wonder they had been so quiet! They had been watching their chance to get at him through her. Well! The sudden stopping of the cab in- terrupted his thoughts. It was a dreary spot. Just a few scattered houses, nothing else. Ile paid the driver and started on down the road. When it was too late, he cursed him- self for being a fool. He could have told the driver to ask for Larry at the hotel and tell him where he had left him. It was too late now. The section became even more thinly set- tled. Terry saw a car parked on the side of the road.

The man wore a mask. "Cars were' scurrying by in either direction. The motor hummed and the car started to move. There was something sickishly sweet in the back of the car. He be- gan to feel drowsy. When Terry wakened he blinked his eyes open and stared about him. He was on a broken-down, dilapidat- ed couch and his hands were tied. In the struggle to freé his hands he roused himself thoroughly. Where was Alice? What had happened to him? What time was it? The room was dark. He tried to swing himself into a sitting position and found his legs, too, were bound. He cursed then, freely and long. "Are you awake?" A voice pitifully plaintive came to him out of the dark- ness. "Yes." "It's been a long time. Who are you?' Terry heard a shuffling move- ment coming toward him. "I was afraid you were dead." For a moment an icy chill ran down his back. "Who are you?' Terry ask- ed, and his voice cracked a little. "I'm Pietro." "What?" Terry was astounded. "I've been here a long time." "Shut up here all the time?" Terry asked, . "Yes, ever since the day when they told me my aunt had been run over by a truck. Why are they keeping me here?" "Who are they?" "I don't know." "But you would know them if you saw them again?" "Yes." "You poor kid! Come here."

Hertzog, Premier of South Africa, this week denounced col- lective security and attributed inter- national distrust in Europe to the "war psychology of 1919." Addressing a public meeting, Gen- eral Hertzog labelled the Treaty of Versailles tio source of the present international distrust and armaments race, but sail South, Africa should support the Leagte of Nations, . Must Be Fundamental Chahge The war psychology of 1919 still persists, he said; a victor of 1919 re- mains under the delusion that the vic- tory of 1919 provides "a kind of sacred right in 1937 and in the future to de- mand obedient submission from the vanquished" to the terms of the Ver- sailles Treaty, "It is quite clear that unless there is a fundamental change in this men. tality of European leaders, the next European war will be the child of the a jy € " ' BLE MINT UM er Treaty of Versailles," he declared. Urges League Support General Hertzog denounced collec- tive security as an attempt to obtain peace by force or threats of force, whereas the League of Nations aimed at security through peace. The irfter- ests of South Africa, he said, demand that it support the League despite its failure over Abyssiniag : "The spirit of war to which -the League owes its present degradation must and will eventually disappear," he added. He asserted that South Africa's co- operation in Europe, when and how it shall co-operate, either in peace or war, were questions for South Africa alone to decide, Suggests Curb On Homework McArthur Condemns Rad'o Halr-Raising Tales; Puts lealth First Me. Condemning school homework where it interferes with health, and radio when it produces sensational pro- grams, Duncan McArthur, Ontario Deputy Minister of Education, dis- cussed modern education before the Ontario-Quebec-Marftime convention of Kiwanis International at Hamilton. Mr. McArthur said: "I am not so sure at times: our schools shave. measured up to the re- quirementg of health and 1 tell you that when: the homework interferes with children's health, through lack of sleep, then forget the homework. No child under the age of 10 years should be permitted to do such work. "Too frequently also have our schools erred in the matter of work- ing under poor lighting * conditions, impairing the children's vision, All too frequently also have our radios been broadcasting stories which have become a strain upon the nerves of our children. When they listen to these hair-raising stories which come over our loudspeakers they are laying a foundation for later nervous disor ders." > Home THE THANKSGIVING FEAST Thanksgiving and homecoming!

Sons and daughters bringing "their friends home from boarding schools and colleges for the holiday week- end, nature radiant in her autumn colors, and radiant faces around your family table!" Make this a real day in the life of your family and serve a meal, the memory of which will last till next year. Here is a suggested menu that covers everything from cocktail to nuts. It can be the basis on which to plan your Thanksgiving dinner, with whatever changes and additions suit your own particular family. Grapefruit Juice Celery Olives Roast Turkey with Coconut Stuffing and Giblet Gravy Stuffed Potatoes Buttered White Onions ~~ Green String Beans Cranberry Mould Head Lettuce with Russian Dressing Pumpkin Pie Nuts "Coffee Raisins There are a few points to remem- ber when purchasing your turkey and here are some that may help. A 10-pound turkey will serve six to eight persons generously. Get one that is well padded with fat and-make sure that the breast bone is pliable by moving the end of the bone farthest from the head, from side to side. Another point to remember is that the legs of a young turkey are black and smooth, those of an old bird, greyish and scaly. After you have washed, singed and drawn the turkey, stuff it and then truss and tie it. Place on back on a trivet in a roasting pan, and rub the entire outside surface with salt. Baste frequently during the roasting. If there is not enough fat in the pan for basting, use a mixture of 3% cup of butter melted in two-thirds cup boil- ing water, After this is gone, use fat in pan. Turn turkey frequently, that it may brown evenly. Turkey should be roasted at 360 Deg. F., for the whole period, allowing 20 minutes to the pound.

London Fashion Houses Booming Paris Worried as Great Designers Continue to Open Showrooms In English Capital, Paris is-said to be looking to her laurels since another of her great de- signers, Maggy Rouff, has joined Moly- neux and Schiaparelli in opening a large London establishment. Fashion shows in London this season have been more elaborate than ever before. Main highlights of collections shown Tecently arc the high walstlines, the tight skirts that compelled the man- nequins to walk one foot before the other; the wide, wide skirts for danc- ing, the predominance of red and rust tones--the town is seeing reds galore --the tinting of ermine wraps to or- chid beige--a soft pink tone--and the popularity of nutria and other furs dyed bronze brown, and of natural seal. ' Exclusively For Queen Though London society is flocking to fashion shows, royalty is choosing new fashions without visiting town. Tinted water-color drawings are made of new models that her dressmakers believe might be to the Queen's taste and arc sent to her with samples of fabrics. When she decides on a gown, the design is immediately withdrawn from further showing and is made ex- glusively for" Her. Majesty. "Fitted at Home { Designing gowns for Queen Eliz- abeth, Queen Mary and the Duchesses of Gloucester and Kent has its own particular little difficulties. Care must be taken ithat there is a firm founda- tion on which to wear decorations of various orders and also that the col- ors will not clash with the uniforms with which they are surrounded on formal occasions. Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary are fitted at home. The Duchesses on the other hand are sometimes to be seen at their drss- makers. .

Almost exactly 75 per cent of the girls admitted that they would prefer marriage and home life to a business career, Only five women and 14 men out of nearly 2,600 workers complained that their working hours were too long. However, 565 men and 521 women de- clared that they worked under press. ure sufficient to cause perceptible nervous strain, Bigger Doctor Bills The men spent more money for doc- tors and hospitals than the feminine employees, but took less time off from work on account of 'jliness, Spending a total of $18,639 in hospital and doc- tor bills, 416 men average $44.56 apiece, while medical expenses of $15,- 989 were incurred by 462 women, or $34.01 gpiece. Only One May = Wash His Face * Four Unwashed Members of Sov- iet Party at North Pole The monotonous routine of work and relaxation for the four vnwashed (it's too cold for baths) members of the Soviet Polar party, camping on a drifting {ice cloe, was described. by their radio operator, Ernest Krenkel. Falling temperatures were adding to inconveniences of their existence. Caviar, cheese and buttér froze so hard they had difficulty eating them and ice encased the tiny hu? in which they live. At breakfast, Krenkel related, they soaked their tcast in water so the crunching as they chewed would not awaken the party leader, Ivan D. Pan- anin, sleeping at that hour. Once Every Two Weeks "Because of the nced to conserve fuel, only Shirsov, who spends his whole day at scientific work in the tent, washes his face once every two weeks. 'He is dirty from oil and grease and his hands are blue from the icy water. But he is obtaiwing in- teresting work from his observations." Krenkel told of conversations at tea time turning to Spain, China and Mos- cow. He said the campers listen regu- larly to Moscow news broadcasts. "At night our dog cries in its sleep like it was having a nightmare," he added. "All around, it is so quiet you can hear ice cracking in the distance."
