The World of Wheat.

By H. G.L Strange, Director Research Department, Searle Grain Co. Ltd

Some countries have so many people they cannot grow enuf wheat for all §

Sume countries have so much land and so few people, they have wheat to sell,

” Those nations which are obliged to buy wheat are called Wheat Importing Countries; while those with wheat to sell are called Wheat Yxporting Countries.

About 550 million bu..of wheat this year, it is expected, will be purchased by the impor‘ing countries from exporting conptries, : q ; This nmount of 550 million bu. ieabout 10 p.c of the World’s production # ~ '

Canada is the largest wheat exporting country, selling Overseas annnally a little more than 200 million bu. Great Britain is the largest. importing country, buying about 190 mnitlion bu’ each year.

~The wheat grown on our Canadian pralries finally trav- els abroad to some 72 different countries, It would be an interesting exercise if boys and girls would make a list, then mark on a map, of the 72 foreign countries which buy the wheat their parents and neighbors grow.

It would be still more interesting if in addition students would pote the products or goods which each of these for- eign countries sells to Canada and to other nations, which sales enatle them to purchase Canadian wheat.

Prices have tended to be raised by tne following—

Germany alarmed by possible food shortage.

Broomball increases estimate world import wheat re quirements from 54010 568 million, which will leave only about 86 million in exporters’ bins Aug. Ist next.

~ Looking At Luck

“All our gifts are not by chance, nor is all our luck just something someone else might have had in our stead. A great deal depends on whether we look for luck or look at it.’

hazard or chance?

The foregoing truism was aptly uttered by Norman Macphee in the opening paragraph of an article entitled “It's a Gift” in a recent issue of “Canada Downtown",.a business magazine published in Toronto. The statement instantly releases an inquiring train of thought in the mind. How much are the achievements of mankind, great or small, material or otherwise, attributable to what is commonly called luck, meaning-thereby

To what extent are the destinies of man shaped

good fortune? It does not require much reflection to reveal the answer to these ab-

sorbing questions.

It is summed up in three or four words: ‘Very little,

any.” ; Yet the large number of people who believe that luck is the force that makes the world go round, the dominating factor in the successes of busi- ness men, scientists, statesmen and others who make some contribution to human welfare, or even the impulse which brings material wealth to the individual, is astonishing. To them, the so-called “discovery” of a cure for some dread disease, the power of a statesmen to sway his audience, the ability of an industrial-

ist to acquire wealth, is put down to their good fortune.

We know in the frank- ness of our hearts that many men deserve their successes. They gave them- selves for the rewards they enjoy. It is a process of earning.” It is not very long ago that a noted scientist, giving a review of achieve- ments, advances and. ‘discoveries’ made in the past few decades announced with authenticated positiveness that what has been accomplished in the period under review is but a fragment compared with achievements to come in a like span in the future but he also emphasized with equal assuredness that these achievements will not be accidental. They will not be the progeny of luck or even the fruit of haphazard effort. » Even as to-day, these achievements of the future will be structures reared on the foundation of known fundamental principles of the past and the present, pursued to logical terminations along well defined paths with

unremitting effort and painstaking application.

In Experiment As To Value Of In- oculation For Common Cold

The prevention of the all-too-com-

mon cold is a matter of such im-

portance that exceptional interest attaches to an experiment by the Post Office.

To test the value of inoculation by anti-cold vaccine, a large number of volunteers were invited to submit to this treatment.

The test was a decisive one, and was prolonged over three years. Un- fortunately it has yielded only nega- tive results, It is curious that man should have been so successful in his warfare against such once deadly dis- eases as diphtheria, smallpox, and typhoid, yet should have so signally failed in his combat with the com- mon cold.—Overseas Daily Mail.

The world’s largest steel wire rope was recently produced in Warring- ton, England, This rope is 4% inches in circumference, approxi- mately 7% miles long in one con- tinuous length without jointg or splices, and weighing approximately 57 tons. It took eight weeks to manufacture. The rope consists of 144 wires grouped in six strands each of 19 wires. These six strands in

turn are closed over a manilla cen-|

tre. The working speed of the rope in service is 18% miles per hour.

New Perennial. Wheat Will Open Up A Wide Range Of Possibilities

Perennial wheat has been found. Just what the discovery means to Canadian farmers is not yet certain but it opens up a wide range of pos- sibilities which will be tested out by plant breeders on the Dominion ex- perimental farms in the next few years.

It is possible but not probable a farmer may be able to seed a field to wheat and harvest crops of sale- able grain from it year after year without the annual labor of plowing, cultivating and sowing.

A more likely outcome is the es- tablishment of a new forage crop which may restore to productive use large areas of drouth-ravaged land in western Canada.

Plant breeders have developed a plant with the seed of ordinary wheat and the long-lived roots of grass. They did it by cross-breeding ordi- nary strains of wheat with agropy- ron, & perennial grass closely akin to the common couch grass of eastern Canada and the crested wheat grass of western Canada. About half an acre of jt; representing many differ- ent crosses and varieties, will be sown in experimental plots next spring.

Seeds of the hybrid plants so far are smaller and lighter than wheat and scientists doubt if a perennial wheat suitable for bread making can be obtained. In any case annual wheats probably will be always superior to perennial wheats in west- ern Canada. If a good perennial wheat were obtained it might be use- ful in a country with abundant mois- ture, perhaps in the maritime prov- inces.

Optimism centres in the prospect of a vigorous, new, leafy, perennial forage plant with large wheat-like seeds. The seeds would add to the forage value of the crop and their large size would permit the seeding down of dry lands where small-seed- ed grasses cannot be made to take root.

Small grass seeds must be sown close to the. surface of the soil and attempts to seed dry prairie landg to grass have failed because with the drifting of the top soil the seeds are carried away.

Large seeds, such as wheat, are Grilled into the soil and are thus more or less secure from soil-drifting until they germinate. A perennial wheat could be sown successfully on such land just as annual wheats can be and its spreading roots would soon bind the soil and put a stop to drift- ing. It would prpoduce grass year after year and might return a good yield in pasture or hay.

Chickens In The Sea

Digby Chicks Have No Resemblance To Barnyard Fowl

Ever hear of chickens in the sea? They are not related to any of the feathered families, but are members of the herring clan. “Digby chick- ens,” the name more popularly used in the various fishing areas and mar- kets, are the smaller sea herring when prepared for the consumer. by smoking. They have long been pro- duced in the Maritime provinces, and are still in demand, though herring are marketed in several other forms —for example, fresh, kippered, and canned.

Herring are taken in the British Coluumbia fisheries and in -Canada’s inland waters as well as on the At- lantic coast, but it is in the Atlantic area that nearly all the smoking is done. The inland catch is marketed and on the Pacific coast the herring

a ee ae ae eS a

landings are used in prepar- ing dry-salted for ‘the Orient, and in manufacti meal and oil.

While “Digby chickens” have no physical resemblance to farm chick- ens, there is one point of likeness. It has been found that fresh herfing and chickens are much alike in pro- tein content—in the cage of chickens the percentage is 13.7 and in the case of herring 13.2.

There are 80 gitles in the United States with populations ranging be- tween 100,000 and 500,000.

Centenary Of Famous Cook

Mrs. Beeton Known All Over Britain For Her Recipes

“The Juckiest man in the world, and

the happiest husband of all time

must have been Mr. Beeton,” once

tenary of Mrs. Beeton, ‘The Perfect Housewife,” Charlies Bailey says: “For many generations the name of Mrs, Beeton has been a household word in the fullest sense of that much-abused phrase. Yet few of the millions of housewives who have pored over her famous recipes know anything at all about the celebrated woman herself. Mrs. Beeton was no mythical or legendary figure, but a very practical and level-headed young Englishwoman who died rather tragic- ally before she reached the age of 29.

“Mrs. Beeton’s maiden name was Isabella Mayson, and her family came from Cumberland, her father at one time having been a popular clergyman in that county.

“Isabella was sent to school at Heidelberg, and while there acquired a considerable reputation as a lin- guist and a musician. She spoke French, German and Italian fluently before she was 17, yet the chef pas- sion of this gifted girl was cooking, and household management. When she was 20 she married Samuel Bee- ton.”

It is recorded Mrs. Beeton revolu- tionized the art of cooking in Eng- land just as the “Lady with the Lamp” transfornted conditions in the nursing vocation. Proper nursing and cooking are now recognized as the chief enemies of disease and the best preservers of health.

Business That Is Different

There are 200 people in New York who rent their shirts instead of buy- ing them. Up to last May there were no facilities for people who wished to rent shirts; you had to own them or do without. Then Mr. Emil’ Liss launched the A Shirt Rental ©om- pany (that’s its exact name). Mr. Liss is manager of the Metropolitan Towel Supply Company which is in the perfectly orthodox business of renting towels to doctors, dentists and beauty parlors, and bed linen to boarding houses and hotels. Here's the way it works: A man signs up, on a yearly basis, to rent three shirts a week, at a weekly charge of 50 cents. Mr. Liss then has seven shirts made up in the man’s collar size and sleeve length, with his name, inked on the tail. Shirts are all of white broadcloth, and all of the same cut.

On the first delivery, four of the shirts are left at the client’s door.

Client wears three of these, presum-| ~

ably each for two days, and has the fourth and last on his back on the seventh day, when the truck calls again leaving three fresh shirts and picking up the three soiled ones. The second week the patron wears one shirt three days, putting him down all square with the delivery system for the third week. And so on to the end of the year. Meticulous folk can contact, at a higher price, for the delivery of four, five or even six shirts weekly, There's a Detective Fox in Brooklyn who takes six; he

Lydia E. Pinkham: Vegetable Com- pound Is Widely Known

Her first laboratory was her kitch-

such lasting fame.

To-day, the descendants of Lydia E. Pinkham, adhering to the same form- ula as of yore, carry on the work in the six modern buildings which now comprise the laboratories.

Anyone going to Lynn, Massachu- setts, is impressed with the spic and

cleanliness of the present estab- lishment, which covers almost an en- tire city block, for there is not a model kitchen in the country kept neater or in a more orderly manner.

One section of the establishment is used as a special warehouse for ‘the roots and herbs, which come by ship and carload, from various sections of the world, all of them gathered under careful supervision at just the season of the year when their medicinal properties are most potent.

Under a competent staff of experts, these roots and herbs are carefully sorted and seasoned so that their full effectiveness will enter into the prep- aration of the compound.

A product for women, originated by a woman, the business is to-day conducted by women, the directing heads being descendants of the founder, and thereby in a position to follow closely the aims and ideals of their illustrious forebear.

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound, which, as the name so aptly conveys, is strictly a combination of Nature’s healing roots and herbs, is in no sense a patent medicine, but a standard proprietary which has stood the test of generations, its benefits to suffering womanhood being acclaimed by more than a million unsolicited letters that have been written by wo- men from every section of the glotie.

Toronto Pastor Says Average Dura- tion Was Two Years

In 3,858 years of the world’s his- tory there have been only 228 of peace, and Europe alone has been torn by 286 wars in the past 300 years, the Hlectric Club was told by Rev. William Allan, pastor of Dover- court Presbyterian church, Toronto. “In 3,000 years more than 8,000 peace treaties have been adopted to remain in force forever, but two years has been their average duration,” he stated.

NEW LIFE IN CHRIST Golden text: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 8:3. :

Lesson: John 2:1-3:36.

Devotional reading: Psalm 51:7-13.

Explanations And Comments ;

Nicodemus Visits Jesus by Night, John 3:1, 2. Nicodemus was a Jew with a Greek name. He was a Phari- see, & member of that sect which as a rule appears in the Gospels as bigoted and hypocritical. He was, moreover, a ruler of the Jews, a member of the Sanhedrin, the high- est council of the nations. The Ro- mans had conquered the Jews, but they allowed them to be governed by their Sanhedrin, the Court of Justice, as we might call it, almost as though there were no conquerer over them. The Sanhedrin consisted of seventy- one members who belonged to the richest families in Jerusalem,

Nicodemus is known as “the man who came to Jesus by night,” and many sermons about spiritual timid-! ity and cowardice have been based | upon this incident in Nicodemus’ life. Yet there were good reasons for his! choosing the night time for his visit. | If actuated by caution, it may have been justifiable. Had he gone to

| Jesus in the daytime the people would ;

have proclaimed him a d:sciple of the | Nazarene, and he was not ready to throw his“ififluence that way, not being himself sure that he believed in Jesus,

Nicodemus began with a diplo- matic speech. “Rabbi,” he said, “we | know that thou art a teacher come | from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest except God be with him.” In John 2:23 we are told that when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover many believed on his name, beholding the signs which he | did. And then we are told that Jesus did not trust himself unto them: a|

belief in him based solely upon his|,securities of $53,000,000 and an in-

miracles was not enough.

The Conversation about the New Life, John 3:3-13. The report of this conversation is abbreviated, and be- tween the questions and answers given other remarks no doubt inter- | vened. Whenever Jesus uses these words, “Verily, verily,” we know that something especially solemn and im- portant is to follow. “Except one be borne anew, he cannot see the King- dom of God”; in these words Jesus told Nicodemus who are the members of that spiritual kingdom: they are not the Jews merely because they are Jews; they are all those who have been “born again”, who have received @ spiritual nature through the agency of the Spirit of God himself.

“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus questioned. By this he meant, Is not the spiritual re- birth of such a man as I, a Pharisee of the Pharisees, as unnecessary and impossible as is the rebirth of my body ?

Jesus answered; “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into. the Kingdom of God.’ “ ‘Of water’—a reference to the necessity of the washing of repentence sym- bolized by the water of baptism. ‘Of the Spirit’—a reference to the need of a positive attachment of tht inner life to an abiding source of moral help. When a man by repentance and faith has been born anew of water and of the Spirit, he has already en- tered the Kingdom of God” (Charles R. Brown).

hows Increased Profits

Total Assets Up $55,000,000 — Deposits by the Public

Increased $71,000,000 Liabilities to the Public

— Liquid Assets 66.07 % of

Evidence of the substantial busi” ness improvement which has occur- red in Canada during the past twelve months is provided by the Annual Statement of The Royal Bank of Canada made public to-day. Total assets again show a substantial in- crease and now stand at $855,000,000. Public Deposits Increase $71,000,000

Deposits are higher than at any period in the bank’s history, with the single exception of 1929. Deposits by the public have increased by $71,- 000,000. Deposits by Dominion and Provincial Governments are down $14,000,000. This is the third con- secutive year that the banks deposits have shown an increase in excess of $50,000,000. Such evidence of con- fidence on the part of the public must be regarded with satisfaction by the shareholders, Current. loans as at November 30th were $296,765,358 as compared with $328,821,416 a year ago. It is understood that this de- crease is largely accounted for by the liquidation of grain advances, necessi- tated by the large carryover of wheat accumulated during recent years and which has now been sold and ex- ported.

Strong Liquid Position

As might be expected under exist- ing conditions, the liquid position is exceptionally strong, total liquid assets being $513,230,273, an increase during the year of $90,000,000. Of this amount $179,280,978 is represent- ed by cash on hand or on deposit with the Bank of Canada and other banks, while $241,639,440 is repre- sented by Dominion and Provincial Government securities. The outstand- ing change in liquid assets is an in- crease in the holdings of Government

crease of $18,000,000 in other bonds, | debentures and stocks. The increase under the heading is understood to be represented altogether in short-term, high-grade corporation bonds. Total liquids assets are 66.07% of liabilities to the public, which is, of course, a reflection of present monetary condi- tions rather than of deliberate policy. Profits Higher

Lower yields on Government secur- ities and the smaller volume of com- mercial loans have naturally had an adverse effect on income, but this has apparently been more than offset by the reduction in interest paid on de- posits, increased operating efficiency, and improved earnings in other direc- tions. Profits in previous years have been shown before the deduction of Dominion and Provincial taxes. This year, for the sake of uniformity in bank statements, net profits are shown after taxes have been deduct- ed. Net profits amount to $3,504,- 241.84 and on a comparable basis with last year show an increase of $202,000.

Dividends paid absorbed $2,800,000; $200,000 was appropriated to Bank Premises and $200,000 contributed to

Man Seeking Gold From Sea Dies Before Dream Realized

William David Nance, 63, who con- tended he could extract enough gold from the sea to “change every monetary standard in the world,” is dead in Alturas, California.

Nance, prospector, inventor and artist, was rushing to complete a ma- chine he said would extract gold from sea water. He demonstrated the machine Oct, 19, 1935, before six wit- nesses—but swore them to secrecy.

He often said his machine would die with him because he didn't want it in “hands which might misuse it.”

Oil Magnate Gives Large Sum To Facilitate Export Of Produce Sir Henri Deterding has placed a sum estimated at 10,000,000 guilders, or approximately $5,400,000, at the disposal of Dutch farmers in a two- point move to lessen ‘their distress and facilitate the export of agricul-

tural produce to Germany.

The Dutch oil magnate’s philan- thropic gesture followed within a few days of a somewhat similar gift by the British automobile peer, Bdron Nuffield, who made available £2,000,- 000 ($10,000,000) to relieve distress and unemployment in parts of the British Isles, chiefly Wales and Scot- land,

Sir Henri, chairman of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company, is a na- tive of Amsterdam and is regarded as a leading friend of the new Ger- many.

Under the plan quantities of green- stuffs, fruit and cattle which Dutch farmers have been unable to sell, will be bought with the money by an organization made up of persons named by Sir Henri.

The organization will pay the farmers in guilders and the produce will be bought by Germany which will pay the organization in marks.

The scheme was described as wholly non-political and exclusively humanitarian, '

NAVAL TREATY CEASED TO EXIST AT END OF YEAR

London.—Naval limitation by treaty ended with the passing of the old year, leaving practically all nations free to build as many warcraft of various types -they consider neces- sary to defend their interests.

The Washington naval treaty of 1922 and the London naval treaty of 1930 both ceased to exist with the passing of 1936. Japan formally de- nounced the Washington treaty in 1934 while the London agreement, de- signed to last six years, was not re- newed.

Remaining are three factors tend- ing possbly toward future control of the naval building race believed in- evitable.

They are:

The London naval treaty of 1936, signed only by Great Britain, France and the United States.

The 1935 agreement between Great Britain and Germany by which the Reich, in scrapping naval clauses of the treaty of Versailles, agreed to hold her fleet to a permanent ratio of 35 per cent. British tonnage.

An Anglo-American agreement of 1936, stated in letters between Foreign Secretary Eden and United States Ambassador Norman H. Davis, under which the two nations who maintain the largest fleets agreed to parity with each other rather than enter a race for supremacy.

At the time the 1936 London treaty was approved by Great. Britain, France and the United States, March 25, it was hoped Japan and Italy would join in its terms but they have not done so and the three signatory nations have not yet ratified it. It limits size but not numbers of war- craft. .

Passage of the Washington treaty into history marks the death of the famed 5-5-3 agreement under which Japan agreed to restrain its navy to three ships for every five built by Britain and the United States.

It was signed in the post-war hope armaments of all kinds would eventu- ally be reduced to “police’’ require- ments to maintain world peace. France and Italy were also signa- tories, each accepting a ratio of 1.75 to Japan’s three and the five of Bri- tain and the United States.

Japan's declaration for the prin- ciple of naval parity was made. in December, 1934, at a conference in London.

US. Takes Action

To Prevent Shipment Of Aeroplanes To Spanish Government

Washington.—The Roosevelt ad- ministration swung into action to plug a gap in its neutrality law and prevent a proposed shipment of United States aeroplanes and motors to the Spanish government.

President Roosevelt suggested new legislation which would give him dis- cretionary power to prohibit such ex- ports to nations suffering internal strife,

(Present neutrality law provides for embargoes on arms shipments to warring nations but not to forces en- gaged in civil conflict.)

At a press conference, the presi- dent commented directly upon the license obtained by Robert Cuse, president of the Vimalert Co., Ltd., of Jersey City, to export $2,777,000 worth of planes and motors to the Spanish loyalists.

He said the state department pre- viously had informed applicants for such licenses the shipments would be in violation of the spirit of the law although not specifically barred. He said 90 per cent. of the business men had gone along with the department and he praised them for it. He added the action by Cuse was a case of the other 10 per cent. of business.

Mr. Roosevelt expressed the opin- ion if the new congress quickly ex- tends the Neutrality Act to cover countries torn by internal strife, Cuse could not recover damages if he were prohibited by the new law from carrying out his contract.

, The recent supreme court decision upholding presidential arms embargo powers would prevent recovery, he said.

When a reporter mentioned that Cuse contends the planes were not for war purposes, the president said the same plea was made by shippers during the early stages of the Great

No Resolutions Placed On Order Paper By Private Members

Ottawa.—Contrary to custom dur- ing the pre-sessional period, private members of the House of Commons have not forwarded a single resolu- tion to be placed on the order paper. Usually long before the house opens there are numerous resolutions filed with house officials so they may have precedence for debate on private members’ days.

Abolish Penal Colony

France May Send No More Convicts To Devil's Island

Paris.—No more convicts will be sent to historic ‘Devil's Island’ un- der terms of a bill to be submitted to parliament to reform the French penal system.

Existence of the penal. colony oft| the coast of French Guiana is a con- stant threat to French prestige in the United States and Latin America, said Minister of Justice Rucart in a communique on the forthcoming bill, to be sponsored by the government. Under it the penal colony would be gradually abandoned.

Conditions under which the con-: victs live are unduly severe, the note declared, and the existence of penal colonies in French territorial pos- sessions is harmful to the develop- ment of these regions. |

The government bill is designed to encourage correctional treatment and substitute solitary confinement as the exreme punishment for unruly con-| victs instead of si pa labor.

Sir Hubert Wilkins May Travel Under Arctic Ice

Halifax. —- Sir Hubert Wilkins, famous Australian explorer, passed through Halifax on his way to Eng- land where he hopes to have a sub- marine built that will take him on an underwater voyage through the Arctic ocean.

The ship in which Sir Hubert plans to follow the mythical “northwest passage” to the Pacific ocean where Frobisher and other heroes of old failed in their pompous Elizabethan galleons is his own invention.

In a 175-foot submarine with an exceptionally heavy steel hull Sir Hubert plans to make about 50 or 60 miles a day underneath Arctic ice. He said the submarine would be like “a decked-in houseboat” fitted with every comfort. ‘

‘It will be the easiest expedition I have ever attemped,” he said con- fidently smiling at the convictions of friends that the proposed trip was “suicidal.”

He estimated the value of the ship would be about $250,000.

AGREEMENT SAID TO BE REACHED

Paris.—Agreement between Great Britain and Italy on a wide range of questions outstandng between the two countries was reported by the Havas News Agency in a despatch from London,

The agreement, the agency said, was considered: a major diplomatic achievement for Britain, drawing Italy onee more toward the Franco- British orbit.

The despatch quoted informed circles as emphasizing the conversa- tions in connection with the accord has enabled Rome and London to reach an understanding on many points not mentioned in the official text, publication of which was ex- pected shortly.

Among these, the agency said, was Italy's agreement to abandon any designs she might have had on the Spanish Balearic islands in the Medi- terranean.

Italy has also agreed to cease her anti-British broadcasts from the radio station at Pari, Italy, the Lon- don despatch added. This propa- ganda, broadcast throughout British possessions in the near east, has been of a particularly virulent character.

The Havas Agency despatch said the negotiations also were viewed as confirming Premier Mussolini’s with- drawal from. Spain, which would offer a powerful argument for acceptance by Germany and-other powers of in- ternational control over foreign vol- unteers entering the Spanish conflict,

British financial circles, the des- patch said, indicated that as a result of the understanding London bank- ers would participate in a new loan totalling 900,000,000 lire ($47,340,- 000) floated by the Italian Societa Finanziara Maritime.

The Anglo-Italian agreement in its final form stipulates that the inter- ests of the two countries in the Medi- terranean are accords to both full liberty of com- munications the agency continued.

Italy also agreed informally to abandon its hostility to the League of Nations and resume an attitude of co-operation with Geneva, the des- patch went on.

On its part, Britain Made no promise not to enlarge its fortifica- tions Malta and Cyprus, nor did it engage itself to extend a loan to Italy, the agency said.

was something troubling her mind, |

Starr read the morning papers. An account, in one of the more gossipy ‘sheets read:

“Merrymakers at the exclusive Sea Beach Casino last night were treated to an unexpected thrill when Starr Ellison, author of the widely notorious book, “Play-Girl”’ and who is said to have herself furnished the copy therefor, attempted to stage a nude swimming part in the gold-fish fountain. Only the timely—or un- timely, many witnesses characterized it—intervention of Michael Fair- bourne, publicity representative for the Tarrance Publishing Company, prevented—”

Starr flung the paper away, sick- ened. How Michael must hate her! There was small comfort now in the thought that that was what she had intended to make him think of her.

Skortly before noon a messenger from Cartier’s appeared with two armed guards and.a package from the famous jewelry firm. Starr gave the messenger her receipt and took the package into the bedroom to open it. :

It was a bracelet. <A bracelet three inches wide, solidly set with dia-

‘monds encasing a row of the most! pin:

Sapphira’s eyes goggled almost out of her head when she saw it.

‘Fo’ the land, Miss Starr, ain’t that shore scrumptious! Seems like somebody must be thinkin’ a heap of you, chile. .. What’s them flashin’ kind o’ stones that look like rain- bows, honey?”

Starr smiled wanly,as she answer- ed absently, fingering Lance Mar- lowe’s card that had come with the gift.

“They're opals, opals.”

The breath of the colored woman came sibilantly.

“Opals! Lawsy, Miss Starr, don’t you-all know they say opals can

There could be no more halfway measures.

She held the gorgeous bracelet in her hand, turning it, letting the sun- shine catch in the sparkle of the stones. The diamonds were lovely enough, but those fire opals! Lance must have given a commission to Cartier’s to search out the most marvelous stones anywhere to be! found. A memory of Michael's | words flitted through her mind:

“Lance's favorite indoor sport—} buying diamonds for his current light | 0’ love!”

Irony of all ironies! This morning}

Stephanie Dale woukl be proudly wearing Michael’s diamond on the correct finger. But she, Starr, who. had dramatically surrendered the | man she loved to Stephanie, received a diamond bracelet—symbol of the | kept woman! She was still weighing .the situa- |tion in her mind when Michael’ arrived. Starr had not expected to) see him, and it is possible if Sap-| phira had not ushered him into the) living room without announcing him, | blandly unconscious that he might} not be as welcome as always, Starr might have refused to see him. She needed more time to pull herself to- gether before facing him,

The bracelet was still in her hand} as she came through her bedroom door and saw him. Startled, she | slipped the glittering thing inside the neck of her frock. She shivered. The| stones felt hard and cold against her tender flesh—-as icy as the heart in 'her breast. . | “I’ve come to release you from your bargain, Starr! It was a mis- take from the beginning. No doubt you will be as glad to be relieved of it as Iam. This last episode—” he flaunted before her eyes the tabloid in which was the account of last night’s party which she had already read, pounding on the objectionable story with an angry finger—‘was the! finish! It was too much—-even for sweet publicity’s sake!”

In the face of her dazed silence he plunged on:

‘“I told Stephanie that the whole thing -was a hoax, told her why it was done, and she understands, 4 hope other people will, too, Anyway,

am ready to shoulder the ridicule, if there is any. Stephanie thinks that it is the best that we—that I—” “That you buy. me off?” Starr | prompted him crudely. Michael's face went red, but on her was the) same tantalizing dare-deviltry of “Play-Girl,” taunting, disdainful.

Then a spark of'resentment flared within her. If he only had not men- tioned Stephanie! She blazed out at

| “Because everything hasn't gone all your own way, you want to get’ rid of me! I see!” Her taunting, challenging ‘laugh rippled. “Well, suppose I don’t choose to be got rid of?” ‘

Michael glowered, said ruthlessly: “I shouldn’t think that even you would want to continue in a role that is repugnant to every sense of com- mon decency.” ;

Her retort to him had been sheer bravado. Now the thought came swiftly to her mind: Did she really want to carry on the role of “Play- Girl’? Before when she had thought of it, she had given it slight con- sideration, taking it as a matter of course that it would continue. Now ... . Well, if she didn’t go on with it, what was her alternative for the

bring the hardest kind o’ hard luck? Wha’ for he want to sent you Opals?” ,

“They can’t hurt—me, Sapphira,” said Starr, her voice low.

She was studying Lance's card. On the back he had scribbled:

“I told you these were for you, you lovely thing of fire and ice. ...I have been very patient, Starr. Are you going to keep me waiting for- ever?”

She could not pretend to herself that she did not know what he meant. It was plain enough. Lance was forcing her hand. She had stalled with him long enough, Lance was not used to that. She knew—as she realized he meant her to know—

days that still remained to her?

She could not bear to face it all again. She had to have life about her, color, excitement!

But there was an alternative, if she cared to take it. Lance offered a way. Though of course Starr real- ized that he would not be nearly so enthusiastic if she were a mere no- body and not “Play-Girl” at all. Lance wanted the triumph of making a conquest of the glamorous person- ality about whom the whole town was talking-—-the “Play-Girl” who was all fire and ice. And good pub- licity.

Lance... . All of a sudden she realized that Lance’s bracelet had become red-hot against her breast, as if the fire opals were in reality liv- ing flame.

Michael was offering the supreme insult, He was pulling his check book from his pocket, slowly draw- ing out his fountain pen, His voice was cold, business-like, and he did not look at her.

“7 vousness, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is just the vegetable tonic needed, Read this: Mrs. William Roy of 18 Pelham Road, St. Cath-

arines, Ont., said: “I was all rundown and seemed to ‘all nerves.’ I did not feel at all well. I ‘could not do a day's house- work without feclifg tired to death. Head-

aches also sapped my strength, I decided to use Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and it strengthened me and rid me of that run-down, upset condition.’"’ Buy now!

Now her resentment was a blazing

torch which shook her fragile body '

savagely. A raging, black-eyed) young fury snatched the check book from his hand and hurled it into his face, returning hate for hate.

“I don't want money from you!”

touch it if it were a million! I can} get along. I'll show you! I'm going to keep on being ‘Play-Girl’ and you! can’t stop me! They’ll only laugh at you if you try to deny it—they'll say) you're eaten up with jealousy! You've done your ballyhooing too well, Mr. Michael Fairbourne, to try to back out now! ‘You started something! I'll finish it! Now get out of here! Get out!”

The hours that passed after Mi- chael left were so slow and terrible that Starr welcomed it with joy when Lance called up and asked if he might drop up for a few minutes, and did she like her bracelet. She was glad he was coming, though as yet she had not the faintest idea of what she would tell him. All she knew was that anything was better than being alone with her awful thoughts. Anybody!

Lance wasted little time coming to the point of the real reason for his visit. It was the same old line.

“But I don’t see why you're insist-| ing on delaying, Starr,” he pressed her, as they lounged over their cock- tails. “I can ‘give you everything— you can go on with your writing, if you ever want to write any more and——’ ’there was an odd inflection in his laugh — “really I'm conceited enough to imagine I might make,

| good copy.”

_Starr’s eyes drooped, arid a faint) flush touched her camelia cheeks.

“It—it— Oh, I mean it all seems so! —rather cold-blooded, Lance — the| whole arrangement you're proposing. I've always thought that—well, that love ought to have something to do with it.” ‘

“Ill teach you to love me, Starr!” he said eagerly, as his hand crushed her slight fingers until she winced as the antique Egyptian ring pressed into the tender flesh.

She glanced up into his amorous eyes, shook her head a little, and) there was a far-away expresson on her face.

“I wonder,” she said softly. “I wonder if I ever will know what love really is. . . I don’t know.”

He laughed a little shortly. “And I don’t know why I’m mad about you, but I am.”

Starr’s black eyes twinkled. ‘Shall I tell you? It’s because I'm probably the first woman on whom you'd set your determination to possess who didn’t fall for you the first minute: you snapped your fingers.”

Lance’s arm slid around her, and he bent over to kiss her.

“You will fall for me, young lady!” he laughed confidently, even a little arrogantly. “You don't Know me when I get really started.”

“I know you have a good line, Starr smiled, and Lance nodded.

“Quite so,” he remarked, “That's what I’ve been told. Properly heated, but never hard-boiled.”

Badinage was not enough for

Lance Marlowe, however. He very quickly got to the point of pressing his questionable suit with Starr. And then she suddenly realized—just how it had come about she did not know— but she had given Lance Marlowe her promise to give him his answer that At whatever party they were to attend. Starr didn’t trouble to ask where it would be. Parties were parties—just so she could keep moving and have no chance to think. If she accepted him in the sense > wanted to be accepted, she was to wear his bracelet, arid then he would know. He would know that she be- longed to him, was willing to be his current light 0’ love.

She was still stalling for time, a little frightened by Lance’s insist- ent eagerness. At last she told him, rather shakily, trying to recapture a fragment of her daring “Play-Girl”’ camouflage:

“A. bride is allowed time to ar- range her trousseau, Lance. Hasn’t a mere mistress the same privilege?”

“All right, Starr. If she can make it snappy.”

Finally Lance, too, got restless, and suggested a drive. That appeal- ed to Starr far more than just sitting here in this quiet room, tete-a-tete with the man whom it might be she soon would see far more of than she cared to see, She jumped to her feet. :

“Be with you in a minute, old thing!” she said gaily. “As quickly as I can slip into something that will not cause so much excitement on the avenue as this rag might.”

It was a golden afternoon when they started out in Lance’s expen- sive car, though -growing a little late, ‘The sky was still lapis lazuli. There was a touch of Autumn haze and the smell of Autumn in the air which somehow manages to make its way into the streets of New York in spite of the skyscrapers and lack of trees. Lance drove across town and they turned into the Park. He drove aimlessly, because. this strange, moody “Play-Girl’ had told him as soon as she snuggled down beside him that she wanted to be very quiet, and think over their affairs.

She was thinking. There must be a little peace somewhere in the world, if she could only find it. Did it lie with Lance?

After all, why not let Lance pro- vide a gilded, luxurious setting for the rest of her short days? It was the easiest way. Life surely owed her much, after the shabby deal it had handed her.

Marriage with Michael would have been cheating. But she would not be cheating Lance. She had plenty to offer him in return for anything he offered her. Lance did not want a wife, nor a home. All he wanted was a scintillating mistress, one who would make him the envy of his fel- lows. Well, she could be that to him.

In a few months he would be tired of her, just as he had tired of his other flames. ... All right. In a few months it would not matter. Starr was mindful of the whimsical words she had spoken to colored Sap- phira:

“A puff of wind will break the glass; then there'll be no more Starr.”

Unconsciously she voiced aloud the question around which all of her thoughts pivoted forgetting her repu- tation—the reputation of {‘Play-Girl”’ who had had too many lovers:

‘Is there any virtue in remaining good when everybody thinks you're bad?” It was the old question—that of the game and the candle.

And then she awoke to a realiza- tion of Lance’s presence. He was staring at her with his keen, restless eyes. Avidly appraising the loveli- . ness he had desired since he first set eyes on her. His thin eyebrows were raised, his mouth a crooked, sardonic line.

“My dear Starr,” he drawied amusédly, “you are talking very queerly to-day. -Was it too much champagne last night?”

Starr flushed. Delicate drqoped, shading her long, eyes from him.

“Perhaps,” she murmured, wonder- ing what the servants would say or think when they found that flower bowl. :

She must snap out of this mood. This was not the kind of mistress Lance Marlowe wanted to adorn his penthouse. He demanded gaiety, vivacity, sophistication.

She noticed suddenly that they had left the Park behind and were on the Avenue, headed downtown again. She turned to Lance questioningly.

“Where are we going?”

He grinned‘at her. “To congratu- late the bride-to-be.”

“Stephanie Dale?” A sharp breath caught in her throat. “But I don't want to see Stephanie! I don’t like her!”

“Stephanie wants to see you,” Lance remarked with decision. “She particularly asked me to bring you down to her house this afternoon.” There was a peculiar light in Lance’s eyes. For a moment Starr had a suspicion that he guessed her secret.

Why? Why should Stephanie want to see her? What extra humiliation was this? She would not stand for it! She couldn’t stand any more.

Incredibly enough, as she shortly discovered when Stephanie came to greet them in the drawing room of her fine old home, with all her an- cestral portraits looking down from the walls, Stephanie wanted to apolo- gize to Starr Ellison. She did it very prettily. She was like a complacent litle pink and white doll when things were going her way, as they were at present. No one would ever imagine that words of violence could fall from soft lips, or venom show in her sap- phire eyes.

‘ Millions of © “Little Savings

Make Up | Life Insurance .

cr INSURANCE ASSETS—large in the aggregete—-act.a!'y

consist of the “little savings” of more than 3,500,000 Ca.ia- dian policyholders. The great majority of these policyholders are k y men and women of moderate means, whose thrift often involves /* personal sacrifice.

=

Sharing in the protection and financial security of Life Ins:- rance, are people from every walk in life—including thousands upon thousands of wage earneas whose individual savings arc necessarily small. That is why Life Insurance is rightly regarde.l as Canada’s greatest co-operative enterprise.

Consider what your savings in Life Insurance mean to you and your dependants, in protection and peace-of-mind. Then you can realize what millions of similar savings mean to th: \ people of Canada.

These combined savings in Life Insurance, which total more than Two Billion Dollars, are invested so that every obligation to policyholders and beneficiaries may be promptly and fully met.

Day after day, year after year, “little savings” in Life Insu- rance accomplish great things in aiding the widows and fatherless — in educating children — in making older men and women financially independent. !
