USE BASEMENTS FOB RECREATION Basemenu May Be Made Into Recreation Rooms At Low Cost VrbaiiK. 111., Dec. s 7— While rural young folk do not have the ham dances, husking bees and other entertainments enjoyed by their fathers and mothers, they do have modern homes with bhsebents where they can set up recreation rooms for parties, dances and other winter get-togethers, according to W. A. Foster, rttral architect at the college of agriculture. Univer-1 sity of Illinois. A weli-h’.ti;: basement can lu , transformed from a dusty catch I all to an attractive and comfortable recreation room at a relatively small cost. Such a room will be

"HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY" MAXI N E CANTY

CHAPTER XXIII It was an hour or so before I comprehended what had happened to me, although I was conscious of people coming and going and of taking some drink that warmed me. I heard Mother saying tearfully, “This is what comes of all this excitement over the murder. Young girls brood on these things. Oh, why did she have to know about such horrors?” My father’s voice answered her as he led her from the room. He was soothing, quiet. I thought how npset they would be, how much more seriously ill niy mother would be if she knew what I had been concealing since Tuesday night. Well, the three days were up; I had determined what was the right thing to do. I opened my eyes to sec who was with me. ft was my cousin, Alice. “Alice,” I said, “where is my ■other?" “She has gone to her room. You frightened us all. Julie. Are you better?” “Yes. Alice, I want to talk to my father, alone. Will you go for him?” “Why. of course.” ‘‘Thanks. Alone, remember.” « • • It was a lot easier telling Dad than I had thought it would be. It was a relief to get it off my mind, sorry as I was to burden him with it. He was very grave and very still when 1 had finished. He showed no surprise, no emotion, just looked out of my window. The pressure of his hand holding mine did not change. It ws? as if all motion, even breathing. were suspended. A great sigh surged through his lips. His head moved back and forth slowly Then he looked at me. It was so like him that the first thing he said was to me. “Poor little Julie, no wonder you fainted. But you are brave and my own true little girl. You always do the right thing. He patted my cheek. “Buck up, darling. Your old Dad has the responsibility now. You must worry no longer. Allen has always been a strange boy: I don’t believe I’ve ever really understood him. But I believe his story and so must you.” “But will the Inspector?” “I think he will. Allen is just the type who would do such a crazy, sentimental thing, fly into a panic, make himself look guilty; but he is not the type who would kill. Remember that, little girl.” Dad’s voice was sure and strong, but I wondered if he were so convinced underneath. “Emotional instability, do you know what that means?” “I think so.’’ "Well, uncertainty, lack of control of emotion is characteristic of anyone as nervous and high-strung as Allen. I think anyone who knows such persons would see him doing just what he describes. They will believe him, Julie.” I said to myself, “But you are thinking, Dad, that just such emotional instability is characteristic of many a murderer.” Dad rose, kissed me, cautioned me, “Now, no more worry, Curly, no more illness. I’m going to see O’Brien about Lloyd: in fact. I should not be surprised if he were in town now, as tie was to arrive under police escort. I’ll take up this matter with him. too. Now where is the pen?” I’ll confess I was hoping he wouldn’t ask for that; I sort of wanted to take that to the Inspector mvself. I didn’t know just how to tell Dad, though. But Dad is a wonder, 1 must admit. He could even chuckle as he said, “Os course, Curly, you’d like to take it to him yourself, wouldn't you? Suppose I tell him you and I will be down to see him at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon ? "Dad, you’re a regular guy! ’ Wc both laughed, in spite of our anxiety. Dad and I understand ef’ch other. , . I got better rapidly, out cither

Ideal for organiaeu meetings, parI ties or thoae Informal get-togeth-ers where young people of the neighborhood spend pleasant winI ter evenings playing games and enjoying popcorn, apples and other cold weather specials. Foster said, i It the wails are of concrete they may be painted or plastered. Htone or brick walls also can be painted or plastered, although a more attractive finish can be had if they are lined with knotty pine boards, i j This finish also can be applied tu concrete walls if desired. Wall plaster should be made with ace-j meat baSe. There are a variety of ways of finishing the floor after it has been troweled smooth, ft may be cover , ed with homemade rugs or with a 1 plain heavy linoleum. It also may ' be iminted. The painted or linol-eum-cevered floor makes an excellent surface ter dancing or games Where sufficient money is possible. a fireplace adds a great deal ’ to the basement recreation room, i since it imparts a cheery warmth '

Mother or Alice was around al! afternoon, so I didn't get a chance to see Dad alone again until evening. He came to say good-night to me rather early. “Well. Fredericka,” he boomed in a hearty voice, “how’s our baby doing?” “I think she will go to school tomorrow,” answered Mother lyDad winked at me behind her back as he said most innocently, "You haven’t any fruit juice and cake around, have you ?” “Why, of course.” Mother rose

quickly. “I’ll bring some up here in just a few minutes.’’ She hurried away, happy to be getting something he wanted. 1 looked at Dad eagerly'. “The Inspector sent congratulations to you, Julie. He told me how you’ve been helping him, and he said to tell you lie expects you to solve the mystery for him yet.” “But Allen?” My anxiety outweighed tny pride. “O’Brien talked to him after I did here at home. I took him down with me. He questioned him pretty severely. but his story holds up very well. I believe that O’Brien is inclined to think he is telling the truth.” “The newspapers won’t get hold of it, will they?” “Lord forbid!’’ he prayed sincerely. . That was ali our conversation before Mother returned. The next day, I was up and at school, a little shaky, but entirely able to work. I met Dad at 1:30 and we went to see O’Brien. I was a bit nervous. As the sister of a possible suspect, 1 was not sure how I would be received. The Inspector took my hand in both of his and -aid very seriously, “Miss Julie, congratulations! You have kept your eyes open again, but more than that, you are brave, and you have proved you can be trusted.” Thinking of nothing to do or say, I just smiled. We al! sat down; then I handed the pen to O’Brien. You can identify thia as the one

and serves as u focal point for arrangement. Although a basement fireplace is more easily Installed when the house is built, it can be put in later, especially If there is a fireplace in the room above. A basement recreation room may be constructed nt a cost ranging from a few dollars to SIOO *'• more but, regardless of the cost, It will be an Investment in home supervised recreation, youth, health and friends-assets which are not measured in dollars.

you returned tn Miss Sinclair un Oc- > tober 20th?” “Yes." ) “And you found it in your brother’s coat pocket?” I “Yes.” “What explanation did he give you for its presence there?” I repeated Allen's itjry. As I talked, the Inspector was checking my statements with an account which I suppose was written from i Allen’s interview Sunday night. He - nodded several times on the way through. “The boy tells a straight story

and the same one each time, Mr. Martin. I haven’t been able to shake him on it at all. Wc are not going to hold him, but you understand that you are responsible for him.” My father nodded. Allen had come home the night before with him, but he had not gone to school. As yet, Mother knew nothing about it, and we all hoped she would never need to know, although we hoped in vain. The Inspector rang a bell and Allen was brought in; he was fairly calm, much more poised than he had been recently. He looked at me, say. ing casually, “Hello, Julie.” “Hello. Allen.” “Now, Allen, you are going homa again with yv jr father and your sister. They believe in you and they are going to be responsible for you. We expect you to go to school and to appear here whenever we need you. No sudden fears now, young man; no decisions to run away from it. You are on your honor and your father’s. You’ve got to be a man!” “Yes, sir.” We rose to leave. At the door, Allen hesitated, then he turned back, like a small child. “Inspector?” “Yes?” “There is one thing more I can clear.up for you.” “What is that ?” “It was I who telephoned you from San Francisco that Thursday nigh’.” (To Be Continued) c-»rright.
