Drive carefully as you pass the school buildings. o—o Another school year has rolled around and life takes on a new meaning for a lot of youngsters. Just to show what a comfortable situation the United States is in, it is the only large country in the world that is even considering a cut in taxes. o o Food isn't a luxury; it’s fuel under the boilers. No fuel, no steam. Poor fuel, scanty energy. Low energy, slow recovery. Lagging recovery, hopeless world. o o The Safety Patrolmen call the signals at school house crossings. These youngsters are protecting the children and naturally everybody will obey their Instructions. o o The state house feud is growing hotter than the temperature and charges are being hurled at elected officials in away that may blow up one of the biggest scandals in Hoosierdom. Too bad there isn’t a state election this year, so the voters could do the house cleaning. o— —o The Safety Patrols resumed their posts at the school house crossings. The watchful eye of the young patrolmen will be directed to traffic and motorists are cautioned to observe their signals. When driving past a school building, heed the signals and when in doubt, stop. Thd‘ children have the right-of-way. State recognition came to Miss Dorothy Gene Flaugh, Decatur high school art student, for the poster drawn by her and entered in the Legion Auxiliary Poppy contest last May. First among girl entrants; Miss Flaugh was awarded second prize in the state, which speaks well for her ability and the high school's art department. We extend congratulations. o o Young Dale Schnepf, who has reported to the Chicago Cub's training camp at Paris, 111., carries with him the good wishes of everybody in this community for his success as a professional ball player. Outstanding as a school athlete, Schnepf is trying out for shortstop and his friends around here believe he has the stuff that will make him a Marty Marion or Pewee Reese next season.

Plants Made Into Healing Ointment

' Penicillin, the most amazing drug of modern times, comes from a common mold. Hence, we should not be surprised to find ether healing substances in Nature. Research men are looking for them all the time and one of the most recent they have come up with is chlorophyll or the green coloring matter in plants. When this substance, manufac-| tured natljfany by practically every growing plant, is extracted and put into an ointment, it seems to have great power to heal sores on the skin. Particularly is this true with leg ulcers. Many patients who hav’S suffered from these running, infected sores for quite a while, obtained relief from pain in a few days and complete healing in six to ten weeks, when this ointment was used. ? Ulcers of this, kind develop bo’ cause of a slowing down of circulation to the skin and consequent death to cells due to lack of nourishment. Usually this slowing down of the blood flow is due to varicose veins, that is, veins which have lost their elasticity sc that the blood tends to stagnate and dilate them. Thus, these varicose veins should be treated.

The Legion's 29th annualSfconventlon was one of the biggest ever staged by the veterans and New York, with its hundreds hotels, wa9i*qual to the occasion. New lite ■ was injected into the organization t with the attendance of World War . II veterans. The Legion has a great I opportunity to render public service in peace-time to the nation its ; members served in time of war. It has the leadership and patriotic spirit. It will continue to serve. o o Bus service will be offered local citizens with the establishment of routes in the north and south parts 1 of town, to a central terminal on Second street. It is a utility, which we believe the people Will patronize. With properly timed schedules the buses could be used by school children, fulfilling a need in those additions distantly located from our schools. The council should pass the necessary legislation, controlling the bus line operations in line with a public utility. o o | Tariff barriers throughout Europe should be abolished, say the French. This would help ' < European recovery even more than t the Marshall plan. The economic supremacy of the United States ' would not be possible if each state a had had its own tariff wall against its neighbors. Suppose Wisconsin •' levied a duty on Michigan-made t automobiles, thereby raising the priife for Wisconsin buyers or 1 New York taxed the importation of New England’s cotton and wool- t en goods. What would that do to buyers and sellers alike? How could the United States prosper? Germany's Future Though American, British and , French representatives have start- , ■ ed emicable conferences in London ; . on the future of German industry , despite Russia’s rebuff, even these I three allies find agreement diffi- . cult. The talks are secret, yet it has leaked out that France sees in a . revived Germany, as envisioned by i the British-American plan, a threat , to her safety. She still stands for inter-Allied control of the Ruhr coal mines now in the British zone, i On the other hand, Europe's re- • covery according to the so-called , Marshall plan calls for an increase in German manufacturing, particularly in steel. Added to the complications of this delicate issue is a protest from Russia that the conference by the three allies ignores the Potsdam agreement. Inasmuch as the Soviets refused to sit in on the London meeting, their position is difficult to comprehend. Final decisions as to the Reich’s industrial future cannot be made until the meeting of the Four-Power Foreign Minister Council,.set for November. It is a matter of the gravest importance not only for Europe's well being, but the whole world, that dependable settlement of the issue be made. It is a subject that will be much in the news of the next few months.

The local care consists of a thorough soap and water cleansing of the foot, leg, and ulcerated area, at least two or three times a week. The ulcer itself is cleansed with a piece of gauze soaked in carbon tetrachloride. This cleansing process causes pain the first few times it is used. Following, the cleansing, the ulcer itself isTcoated with a thin tayI er of ointment. It is then covered with a piece of gauze, and a piece of rubber sponge about one-half inch to one inch thick. Then the leg is wrapped with an elastic type bandage. The dressing is changed once every two days. However, each night the elastid bandage and sponge are removed at bedtime and the leg is rewrapped in the morning. During the night, the gauze over the ulcer is held ia place with j a few pieces of adhesive tape. Patients are instructed to walk as much as possible, even up to five miles a day. The more the leg is exercised, the faster it will heal. In most cases, ttig ulcers heal i rapidly, and the disappears! after a few days of treatment. In some idWances. the ulcers recur, but appncatiou of treA, taeat brings abtrnf ram healing. 1

a_ CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE HENRIETTA got up and moved toward the door and Poirot said: “I will walk back with you, Mademoiselle." They crossed the lane and went through the gate into the chestaut plantation. Henrietta said: “We need not go past the pool. We can go up to the left and Uong the top path to the flower valk*** A track led steeply up hill toward the woods. After a while they came to a broader path at I right angles across the hillside ibove the chestnut trees. Presently they came to a bench and Henrietta sat down. Poirot beside her. The woods were above and behind ] them and below were the closely planted chestnut groves. Just in front of the seat a curving path ted downward, to where just a glimmer of blue water could l»e leen. Poirot watched Henrietta withi out speaking. Her face had relaxed, the tension had gone. It looked I rounder and younger. He realized what she must have looked like as a, young girl. He said very gently at last: "Os what are you thinking, Mademoiselle ?” "Os Ainswick." “What is Ainswick?" "Ainswick ? It’s a place.” Almost dreamily, she described Ainswick to him. The white, graceful house —the big magnolia—growing up it—the whole set in an amphitheater of wooded hills. “It was your home?” "Not really. I lived In Ireland. It was where we came, all of us, for holidays. Edward and Midge and myself. It was Lucy’s home actually. It belonged to her father. , After his death it came to Ed--1 ward.” “Not to Sir Henry? But It Is he who has the title.” “Oh, that’s K. C. 8.,” she ex- , plained. “Henry was only a disI tant cousin.”

i “And after Edward Angkatell, ■ to whom does it go, this Ainswick?” “How odd. I’ve never really 11 thought. If Edward doesn’t marry—” She paused. A shadow passed over her face. Hercule Poirot wondered exactly what ? thought was passing through her I mind. "I suppose,” said Henrietta slowly, “it will go to David. So that’s why— ’’ “Why what?” “Why Lucy asked him here. . > . David and Ainswick?” She shook her head. "They don’t fit somehow.” Poirot pointed to the path tn front of the®, “It is by that path, Mademoiselle, that you went down to the swimming pool yesterday?” She gave a quick shiver. "life, by the one nearer the house. It was Edward who came "this way.” She turned on him suddenly. “Must we talk about it any more? I hate the swimming pool. , . . I even hate The Hollow." “I hate the dreadful Hollowfioehind the little wood. i Its lips in the field above are dabbled with blood- red heath; The red-ribb’d ledges drip with a silent horror of blood, And Echo there, whatever is ask’d her, answers ’Death.’” Henrietta turned an astonished face on him. “Tennyson,” said Hercule Poirot, ■ nodding his head proudly. "The poetry of your Lord Tennyson.” Henrietta was repeating. *4 “And Echo there, whatever is tasked her . . .” She went on, almost to herself. “But, of course— J. see—that’s what it is—Echo!” "How do you mean, Echo?” 1 g,-“This place—The Hollow itself!

I almost saw it before —on Satur-1 day when Edward and I walked up to the ridge. An echo of Ains-1 wick. . . . And that’s what we are, we Angkatells. Echoes! We’re not real—not real as John was real.” She turned to Poirot “I wish you had known him, M. Poirot We’re I all shadows compared with John. I John was really alive.” “I knew that even when he was dying, Mademoiselle." “I know. One felt it . . . And John is dead, and we, the echoes, are alive. . . . It’s like, you know, a very bad joke. . . .” The youth had gone from her face again. Her lips were twisted, bitter with sudden pain. When Poirot spoke, asking a I question, she did not, for a rnoment take in what he was saying. “I am sorry. What did you say, ' M. Poirot?” I I 'T was asking whether your , I aunt, Lady Angkatell, liked Dr. Christow.” “Lucy? She is a cousin, by the way, not an aunt Yes, she liked [ him very much.” “And your—also a cousin?—Mr. i Edward Angkatell—did he like Dr. I Christow ?” I Her voice was, he thought, a Mt]tie constrained, as she replied: ’ “Not particularly—but then he I hardly knew him." “And your—yet another cousin?—Mr, David Angkatell?” Henrietta smiled. j “David, I think, hates al! of us. ’ jHe spends his time immured in ’ the library reading the Encyclopedia Britannica.” “Ah, a serious temperament” “I am sorry for David. He has ■ | had a difficult home life — his 11 mother was unbalanced —an invae lid. Now his only way of protecte Ing himself is to try to feel su- ’• perior to everyone. It’s all right ' as long as it works, but now and then it breaks down and the vule nerable David peeps through.” “Did he feel himself superior to ' Dr. Christow?" h "He tried to—but I don't think lit came off. I suspect that John

Christow was just the kind of man that David would like to be. He disliked John in consequence.” Poirot nodded his head thoughtfully. "Yes—self-assurance, confidence, virility—all the intensive male qualities. It is interesting—verj interesting.” Henrietta did not answer. Through the chestnuts, down bj the pool. Hercule Poirot saw s man stooping, searching for something, or so it seemed. He murmured, “I wonder —” “I beg your pardon?” Poirot said, “This is one of Inspector Grange’s men. He seem: to be looking for something.” "Clews, I suppose. Don’t police men look for clews? Cigaret ash footprints, burnt matches?” Her voice held a kind of bitte: mockery. Poirot answered seri ously: "Yes, they look for thing: —and sometimes they find them But the real clews. Miss Saver nake, in a case like this, usuall; lie in the personal relationships 0 the people concerned.” "I don’t think I understan you.” “Little things,” said Poirot, hi head thrown back, his eyes hal closed. “Not cigaret ash, or a rut ber heel mark—but a gesture, look, an unexpected action . . .” Henrietta turned her hea sharply to look at him. He fel her eyes, but he did not turn hl head. She said: “Are you thinking of—anythin in particular?” “I was thinking of how: yo stepped forward and took the r< volver out of Mrs. Christow’s han and then dropped it in the pool.

She paused. “What are you suggesting, M. Poirot?” Poirot sat up, turned his head, and spoke in a brisk matter-of-fact way: “If there were fingerprints on that revolver, that is to say, fingerprints made before Mrs. Christow handled it, it would be interesting to know whose they were—and that we shall never know now.” Henrietta said quietly, but steadily: "Meaning that you think they were mine. ... You are suggesting that I shot John and then left the revolver beside him so that Gerda could come along and pick it up and be left holding the baby —that is what you are suggesting, isn’t it? But surely, if I did that, . you will give me credit for enough , intelligence to have wiped off my own fingerprints first!” "But surely you are Intelligent enough to see, Mademoiselle, that i if you had done so and if the revolver had had no fingerprints on . it but Mrs. Christow’s, that would have been very remarkable!

It was not.” t “What was it then?” 1 Henrietta stretched out her foot - and traced a pattern with the toe. She said in a low voice: o “Aren’t you forgetting—what J told you not very long ago?
