Mary and Noel Lead a Rescue Party to Save Prince Georges, but Dis- cover a Great Mystery When They Reach the Scene Mary had not seen either Noel or me as she dashed into the res- taurant, by the bay, crying wildly for someone to come quickly. That she was frantic with fright was pat- ent, and her own appearance was a terrifying thing. Her dress was torn, her shoes and stockings cov- ered with dust, and with a wisp of a handkerchief she was dabbling futilely at blood which ran down into her eyes from a cut on her head. Noel sprang from his chair the instant she appeared in the door- and raced toward her. T was a few steps behind him as he ught her swaying figure and steadied her. “Mary! Mary!” His voice was an a hed cry. “What is it?” She was so obsessed with what- ever fear was upon her that she evinced no surprise at seeing him or me. “Oh! Noel! Auntie Madge!" she exclaimed as it her cry had sum- moncd us. “Hurry! Hurry! I'm aid they've killed him.” She turned toward the door, but Noel's grasp of her arm tightened. “You are hurt! You must be tak- en care of,” he said authoritatively. “I'm not hurt at all,” she said furiously. “This is only a scratch that 1 could stop if I had a decent andkerchief. Thank you,” as one of the waiters who had rushed to- ward us proffered Fter a serviette which he had dipped in cold water. “This is all I need. But come! Everybody!" To the Rescue! With lithe agility she wriggled out of Noel's grasp and made for the door. But he was at her side the mext instant, keeping pace with her. “All right, I won't hinder you,” I heard him say. “But you must let me help you. You cannot risk fall- ing again. This way. My car Is over here.” He took her arm, supporting her as she ran. With a spurt of speed, 1 reached her other side, and we ran to Noel's parked car. “Get on the running board,” he called to a couple of walters who had followed us out. “You may be at with the other hand I held the wet serviette against’ the cut on her forehead. 8he was trembling vio- lently, but her voice was steady and resolute as she directed Noel where to drive and told us what had hap- pened. A Shot in the Dark about & half mile down this road,” she said. 'We were just coming to one of those wood roads when we saw a couple of men atep out from the bushes and signal us to stop. They were directly in front of the car so Georges had to slow down, but he swerved to try to get past them for he said he didn't like the idea of their signaling. But Jjust as we came up to them, one of them lifted his hand and pointed a pistol at Georges. The rest is all mixed up. There was a shot, I know, and the sound of glass breaking, and Georges slumped down on the wheel. I grabbed the wheel and tried to keep the car in the road, but it smashed against a tree, not so awful hard, for we were going slow, but hard enough. I tried to get Georges out from behind the wheel, but couldn't, and there wasn't a soul on the road. So I ran back to the restaurant as hard as I could. I fell down two or three times, but I made it.” Before my eyes, and, I knew, be- fore Noel's also, there passed a vision of that dauntless flying Iit- tle figure, regardless of her own terror and painful {njuries. But Mary's volce, sharpened now, brought us back to the ugly reality of our errand. Another Mystery “It's right ahead there,” she said, “‘Slow down!" The waiter clinging to the door cn our side of the car spoke appre- Lensively: “Would the men be there still, do you think, Miss?" “'No fear,” Mary said scornfully. “The second the shot was fired, they jumped back from the road, and I could hear them crashing through the underbrush like fright- ened cattle. They're two miles away by this time. That's right. Noel! Stop right here.” She had reached past me, torn open the door of the car and was out on the ground almost before the car stopped. Stumbling, she ran toward the other car, but as needed,” and ip another munute, with Mary and me beside him, and the two men clinging to the sides of the roadster, we were out of the driveway and speeding down the road leading from the bay. I had slipped one arm around Mary and 'Tis only when all dangers cease That safety brings a sense of peace. —Danny Meadow Mouse Danny Meadow Mouse could not see where he was going. It was dark—pitch dark—down there un- derground in one of the tunnels of Miner the Mole. But it really needs no difference to Danny. He could rTun just as fast down there in the dark as he could had it been light. You see, there wasn’t any danger of bumping into anything. Behind him came Miner the Mole. Miner knew that some one was in his tun. nel and he was in a great rage. He couldn’t have seen had his tunnel been flooded with light. His eyes merely tell hin the difference be- tween light and dark. He cannot distinguish objects. He doesn’t need to. He spends practically all of his time underground, where eyes real- ly are of no use at all. Danny came to where the tunnel branched. “Oh dear,” thought Dan ny. “which way shall 1 go now? Shall 1 go to the right or shall 1 £0 to the left?” He stopped undecided. But he couldn’t stop for more tian a sec- ond. In that sccond he used his rose and he caught just a fainl whiff of Mouse scent. He knew then that that -vas the way he had come in. He hesitatea no longer, but started along the left branch. Again he came to where the tunnel branched and this time he did not dare stop to use his nose. As luck would have it, he took the wrong turn. He realized it after a while, for he knew that by this time he should have reached the surface, and here he was still running and running quite deep underground. “Oh dear,” thought Danny. *“Oh dear! Probably this tunnel will end suddenly and then Miner will catch me. Why did T come down here? ‘Why couldn’t I have been contented above ground? Oh dear! I wonder where this leads to?” But there was nothing to do but t0 keep right on running. The pas- sage took a sudden turn and began to go up. This was better. Danny began to be more hopeful.

MORRIS FISHREIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geis, the Health Magazine, All over the world the increase in the number of motor accidents is arousing concern among legislators and statesmen. The chief physical defect which may incapacitate a motor driver is that having to do with the eyes, although there are other physical intirmities which may cause seri- ous trouble. In a survey of the subject, Dr. W. H. Crisp points out that it would seem advisable to require that no person subject to epileptic attacks should be allowed to drive an auto- mobile and that very deaf people are appreciably less safe as drivers than those who hear well. A nervous, jumpy, easily frighten- ed driver is often to blame for motor accidents, yet no one knows any means by which nervous, jumpy, easily excited people can be kept from driving motor cars. Limited Vision Anything which interferes with good vision is likely to be a serious handicap. People who have only one eye or who can see with only one eye are commonly regarded as unsafe, for the simple reason that their fields of vision are limited and they are not able to see objects ap- proaching except from one side. Some people who can see well by day suffer from night blindness. People who suffer constantly with eyestrain have occasional blind spells when they are momentarily unable to see anything. In Belgium an authority named Weekers urged the establishment of a list of physical defects which should disqualify a person for driv- ing an automobile and a long list of penalties for such people in case they happen to be driving a car with resulting accidents. The other remedy offered is that insurance companies insist on ade- quate preliminary medical examin- ation of all persons seeking insur- ance on motor cars, and that they have in their contracts clauses to render the contract void if persons having physical defects get into ac- cidents, Among a list of physical qualifica: tions relating to the eye are in- cluded certain limits of visual ability Q.—What is the cause of the jaw slipping out of place and what can be done to prevent it? A.—Sometimes the jaw slips out of place due to unusual vio- lence such as results from push- ing or pulling, sometimes from attempting to get too large a plece of meat or fruit into the mouth at one time, and some- times from yawning too widely or laughing too heartily. Of course if the joint is not quite normal in its construction so that the socket which holds the bone is shallow, it will slip out casier. Indeed, some people are able to dislocate and reset the joint of the jaw at will. a field of vision for every eye ap- aproximating the normal, and dis- qhalifications for one-eyedness, dou- ble vision and color blindness which is unable to distinguish red and green. A survey made in the United States in 1925 revealed only four states which had made laws rela- tive to thc eyesight of automobile drivers and only one state which refused a license to any person physically incapacitated.

By JULIA BLANSHARD NEA B8ervice Writer New York, Feb. 28—One may, it seems, pay as 1 big a price as onc wishes to put one’s best foot forward in the spring fashion parade this season. For keeping step with style de- mands a tremendous diversity of footwear these days. Milady may now be as individual in her choice of shoes as chapeaux. Not only are shoes fashioned differently for vari- ous times of the day but, believe it or not, some meticulous women have their shoes designed by boot- iers to suit the personality of their feet! If one cannot afford this, and of course few can, it is eminently cor- rect to consider three things when choosing shoes; the time of day they will be worn, the occasion for which they must serve, and the costume they acompany. Paris is sending over some love- ly assortments of beautiful shoes to set the pace for smart feet. Andrea Perugia’s collection contains style pointers in profusion. In cut, color and materials they are original and stimulating. For High-Steppers The greatest innovation is a brand new sole that stands the foot a half inch oft the floor. It sounds like a beach clog. It looks elegant. A first glance may make one stare. But, after seeing women dance in evening slippers with this sole and then change to ordinary soles, you have the instinctive fecling that their feet are practically on the ground in the ordinary slipper. The half-inch sole, incidentally, is highly decorative, with either hand carved flowers or jewels set in it. These new soles are light as a feather, being made of very light wood, aluminum or aluminum and Itather. They have three sections, croms-wise, with grooves between, to insure extreme flexibility for walking or dancing. Moreover, when the foot is so high from the floor, only the slightest of straps is needed to fashion a shoe, many of them having the entire toes and whole heel practically uncovered. This style of sole is used on golf shoes but undecorated. 8ince coolness is most desirable for spring and summer, the open shanked sandal predominates, the more open the better. Since all styles' have grown more subtle, shoes thi spring will not contrast Wwith costumes but blend. Therefore black and bright colors are out. Beige and pastels are tn. And such luscious pastels! For walking, golfing, tennis and other active sports, black and white, and blue and tweeds or blue and Wwhite vie with the classic brown and white sports models. For daytime street wear the beige pump or one-strap sandal is excel- lent. 8o is the blue pump, two eye- let avelt oxford, or pump made of lizard or any other novelty leather. For afternoons, pastel kid, crepe de chine or satin sandals or pumps are excellent. For evening the slip- pers must be as luxuriously fashion- ed as Milady's gown, which is nown. days a sumptuous thing. The less slipper there is and the richer the fabrics making it, the more success- ful the dancing slipper. Rose beige crepe de chine evening pumps are the best choice for the first pair which must serve with several gowns. After that, they should be as decorative as jewels, softly color- full, fahioned of kid with suede or satin appliqu-s in exquisite pat- tern. For the white gown and the black, the exceptional is worn, the brilliant red and gold slipper or the sllver and black. The Lido T-strap sandal with Perugia clog sole is the latest Paris idea of the afternoon shoe for party wear. It is made of lavender-blue satin, with metal- lized wooden sole and heel to match. The Bandit Motif The mask shoe is another inno- vation, being an apple green suede high-cut vamp with eyes and a mouth slits outlined in gleaming gold, all edges bound in gold and the inside lined with gold. For street wear, Milady slips on the neatest, sveltest adlapted pump that is cut almost as high as an oxford, but the extra vamp is eut out Mlke & bowknot and around in original manner. This is the new “mastic” colored Kkid and calf combined, a soft greyish beige shade that is equally good with tans, browns and greys. Mules can be as exquisitely in- dividual as party shoes, as is evinced by “Folie,” a gold color- ed French kid mule with a pert square toe and square heel, with its vamp cut in three little points under which a gold cord fastens. Newest and most exquisitely gorgeous of all is a dainty evening slipper in a pastel green that has a little soft blue in its color, com- bined with the new half inch sole and heel of sculptored silver. The toes and heel are open, with dainty straps of green kid with floral appliques like the sole and heel's pattern, done in matching suede. Talks T g5, &%, parents THE TODDLER (By Alice Judson Peale) The baby is a king and the school child is a person of affairs, but the toddler is neither the one nor the other. He is out of the cradle and is somehow expected to shift for himself. He is vaguely supposed to grow and learn and at school age be ready to start “his education.” His morning is usually spent fol- lowing mother about the house while she gets the family's break- fast, sces daddy off to work and starts big brother oft for school. More often than not he is in her way while she makes the beds, bathes the baby, washes dishes, gets lunch stitched and 80 on and on throughout the busy day. Often he is literally put out in the yard to play, with stern injunctions about going near the street or get- ting into trouble in the neighbor's yard. He is told a great deal about what not to do but very little about what he may do. His mother has little time to answer his questions, or listen to his stories. Often there is actually not one minute of the day given over to play with him, te friendly talk, to just being with him. No amount of good will can make such a situation over into an ideal one for the toddler. But some things at least can be achieved with reasonable effort. The child can be supplied with good outdoor play ape paratus, a swing, a see-saw, a ladder, some empty packing cases and other strong boxes of aasorted sizes. His indoor playthings should be carefully chosen and should be the sort which stimulate him to creative activity. Large wooden floor blocks, crayons, colored cubes, beads for stringing, puzsies, all will help to keep him busy along the lines of proper mental development. His |little neighbors should be encour- aged to come and play with him, and mother herself must see to it that she gives him a half hour here and there of play and talk, and af- fectionate comradeship. BANANA BEIGE With the vogue for off-whites, deeper tones of beige are in favor, A gilet for a dark suit, uses bana- na beige crepe and flaunts a jabot adorned with tiny buttons in match- ing color. | | | | NEW COMBINATION An interesting black lace dinner gown combines long, tight sleeves with a very low back decolletage |from which a bolero of lace swings.
