slowly down fifth avenue already limousines and cabs were going north permitting glimpses of stiff white shirt fronts and evening wraps in every color of the spectrum charlie half rose and leaned forward slide over he said change places pete i want to be next the curb the cab moved along jerkily keep- to the curb its movement slowed up by the drivers obedience to that order of charlies since here the lumbering buses took up most of the room charlie leaned out he seemed to be looking at the lighted shop windows suddenly he spoke sharply to the driver pull up stop here a minute he said he

walked along and stopped at the door of one of those old houses you will find in the forties the upper floors of which have been cut up into flats that give transient shelter to broadways birds of passage charlie took a key from his pocket and opened the door one on me said purdy but this isnt my stamping ground of course v peter utterly mystified still was conscious of chilly fingers travelling up and down his spine whatever was coming was coming soon quiet now said charlie go easy on the stairs tread light put your toes down first and if you hit a loose step skip it all the way to the roof he led the way peter and the other- detective following it was astonish ing to find how light of foot the big detective was to mark the way he avoided any sound on the topmost landing he paused to listen tiptoed to each of two doors and bent an ear attentively at each keyhole nobody home i guess he said all right he reached up and drew down the ladder that led to a skylight and so to the roof peter too excited to be thinking to be speculating even as to the meaning of what was going on followed they crossed the roof step ped across a low parapet and down to the roof of the corresponding house in 48th street now their procedure was reversed until they found them selves on the top landing but char lie did not lead the way down the stairs he took another key from his pock et instead and opened the door- of the front fiat the one whose win dows peter saw must face the street the room was musty both win dows were closed and a flat stale smell of disuse hung in the air light came intermittently from a flashing electric sign and peter saw that this was a cheaply furnished room there was a golden oak dining table and he saw two or three atrocious chairs and a steel engraving dating from the time of grants administration on one wall dust was over everything charlie led the way into a smaller roono he took a third key from his pocket and opened a closet coor but his flashlight illumined not what peter had expected to see a row of empty pegs but the head of a narrow flight of stairs got you said purdy enlightened getaway eh very neat too gambling house was it ask a cop said charlie come on and if you thought you was quiet before make it double or quits now they crept down the stairs charlie in the lead with only an occasional flicker of his torch to point to a break or a turn until they came to a solid steel door that gleamed in the faint light like the wall of a bank vault no key unlocked this but a series of heavy bolts that had evidently been oiled recently so smoothly and silently did they move under charlies fingers the steel door swung open and now peter could see a faint glow through a thin partition he could do more than see he could hear as well hear low voices one of which was provokingly elusivoly familiar charlie stood still rooted listening leaning forward his hand on another bolt presently all sound beyond the par tition ceased a door had closed still charlie waited peter wondered if the others too were holding their breath was in deadly fear lest he sneeze or cough but then just as it seemed to him he couldnt endure south african women keen about politics speaker a toronto univer sity w club tells v of active interest the women of south africa are ery very interested in politics said mrs f s malan of that country in addressing members of the toronto university womens club at their first tea of the season women who were free to do so the speaker said took very active interest in the wel fare of their country there was one woman member of the house of as sembly and the women of south africa were very proud of this fact there were also two women members of provincial councils in speaking of the educational sys tern of south africa mrs malan said it was very similar to the system here there were about f5 dutch to 45 englishspeaking persons in that country makinjr it necessary to carry on education in bilingual fashion dutch parents the speaker siid often preferred to send their children to an english centre and have them taught through the medium of english with dutch as a secondary option while english parents often preferred to have their children study through the dutch medium with english as a sec ondary option in this way the par ents felt that a readier fluency of both languages would be acquired a girl who is not bilingual had small chance of a position of any kind in south africa mrs malan added touching on the problem of the en franchisement of the natives in south africa mrs malan said she was of the same opinion as her husband that they should be dcjlt with by the whites in friendly manner and through the medium of friendship gain their cooperation as it was now there were so many more na tives than whites if every native had a vote tho whites would simply have to stand aside for them the natives are now going in for educa tion mrs malan said many going abroad to

ment the royal family and the british taxpayer there was a smplus revenue in 192223 from the crown estates which king george handed over to the na tion on his accession of 900000 be ing a net sum from which no deduc tions have to be made for administra tion the annuities payable from this surplus to the king and queen and for salaries and expenses of the household amount to 47000 while the addition al annuities to the kings mother uncle and aunts and sisters and to the kings children except the prince of wales amount to 1630660 a total civil list of 033666 the nation therefore profits to the extent of 266331 instead of being taxed for the support of the reigning house the prince of wales income is derived from rent of lands in the duchy of cornwall which was created a duchy by edward iii

that mating a male out of a high record dam to hens which themselves have high re cords will give the final product and spell success however the most thoughtful breeders believe that high egg production is not a definite char acter but is rather the result of a com bination of several production char acters each of which is distinct and in heritable among these characters may be mentioned precociy broodiness in tensity high persistency and they are no doubt combined in different ways also probably inherited from both the sire and the dam it means that the trapnest and banding systems may single out the good producers but a careful analysic of records must he done to find out the best reproducers after giving much care to secure birds from the best matings possible of pedigreed stock the problem of pro duction for too many beginners seems to end the mistake is paramount as results often show feeding at all times is in the mind of thoughtful breeders one of the most intricate problems they are faced with the results of 16 years of this kind of work show- real progress at cap rouge and it is believed that this is due partly to breeding partly to im provement in feeding and
