eouton for her hes a friend ofmine and hes as good a criminal lawyer as 1 know he happens to be a gentle man too and that might help in a case like this it will said peter its a good deal of a mess peter hesitated or a moment then made up his mind this was no time obviously for reticence for delcacy for distinguishing between what he had learned more or less in confidence and what any one might know terse ly but as fully as he could he ex plained the situation that had led up lo the quarrel at the fantomas club he stressed the queer sort of armed neutrality there had been between martha and tack and told what he knew of tacks mother and her atti tude the old ladyll blame maltha of tonrse he said oh naturally said carol anil steve nodded he listened attentively lo peters account of his

thats all to the good he said they cant get at her again before tomorrow jimmy watson can stand them off if they try id give a good deal to know what theyre doing to ross about now rosi said peter id forgotten abouthim vou can be prety sure connolly a snt said his brotherinlaw dryly ross was probably picked up while you were waiting over there on the roof the maid came in just then to say that breakast was ready and peter was surprised to find that he was by no means without interest in grape fruit and bacoi and cup after cup of strong coffee queer the way life i sisted on going on along its ordi- nar commonplace lines in spite of murder and trageely and the looming shadow of utter disaster itell you what youd better do said steve to peter presently find vut anything you can about

rather have some one besides bouton itll be all right with me only some one ought to be on the job right away times what ccunts just now peter agreed with him especially when he remembered thi way connolly had looked when he flung open the door after the flashlight had gone off it had been all very well for him to reassure martha to tell her that she ws crazy to think she might be ar rested but in point of fact peter agrceel with steve entworth the very fact that martha was still at liberty struck him now as alarming he did what he could on the tele phone from carols apartment though it went against the grain he trieel to reach ross but he was hardly surprised to be told both at his apart ment and at his office ross had a job of sorts downtown that he was out from marian bronson he learn ed that marthas father was at palm beach and not without difficulty finally reached him by long distance it wasnt altogether easy to maee mr cameron understand what had happened nor for that matter to identify himself and explain how it was that he was talking to him poor kid he said when he under stood is martha all right shes with your sister ah mrs wentworth yes youre being very kind now i can start north tonight im the devil of a long way off to be of much use though w said peter i dont know that theres much that you can do 1 thought youd want to be with mar tha he was handicapped of

experience of running the gauntlet among the reporters if hed seen the early editions of the evening papers he would have known that his name figured almost as prominently as mar thas and tacks more prominently as he was glad later to learn than rosss since connolly had chosen so far for reasonr of his own to keep his knowledge of rosss part in the case to himself ho shook his pursuers olf by

in terest iu poetry if they are not re quired to do any memorizing dr honora m frawley research graduate at teachers college columbia univer sity declares in a survey just made public when children are allowed to read poetry in a natural manner devoid of rules or academic rote their enjoy ment in poems increases accordingly dr frawley found she experimented with 300 pupils of grade 5b in public schools 33 06 17 10s 148 and 124 in the borough of queens the problem undertaken was to compare results in comprehension amount of memorizing and attitude ob tained by teaching poems to children with five different procedures in re gard to memorization dr frawley explains these procedures were immediate required memorizing without any teaching of the poem required inde pendent memorizing after the poem had been taught required supervised memorizing after the poem had been taught memorizing encouraged but not required after the poem had been taught and no memorizing required or suggested but time spent on f e choice activities out of the study of i the poem dr frawley found that the pupils responded more eagerly to the poetry hour where no memorizing was re quired but where free activity in the study of the poems was allowed not forcing the pupils to study the poems in minute detail brought forth a desire to read more poetry she adds past and present positions compared greater freedom

qualities which make the lives of the race so happy the japanese have a passionate ad miration for their own country which they declare to be the most beautiful in the world and compare it to a vast garden designed by the gods the scenery of japan is exquisite and the japanese contemplate it with emotion the vivid sensitiveness with vhich they appreciate the charm of their landscapes and the originality of both animate and inanimate ob jects is admirably expressed in their paintings and engravings the work of japanese painters and engravers is delicate and powerful and they ex cel in the reproduction of nature they are also vonderfully successful in expressing in their compositions the most varied and fleeting aspects of their srro hidings in everyday life the japanese ex hibits a certain gaiety which docs not make him less serious in graver mo ments such is the impression fre quently ganed by visitors to the coun try even nowadays the only excep tion to that ulc is to be
