Testing Yourself The Pennsylvania railroad holds efficiency tests in order to be sure that its men obey the signals. In the first six months of this year, the results showed perfect performance in more than 99.9 per cent of the cases. In this period, 76,700,000 passengers were carried on this road without a single accident. All of us might do well to hold tests of ourselves now and then. We might make them as rigorous as does the Pennsylvania railroad. We might try to learn whether we are obeying the rules and whether we will ignore a "stop" signal or go by at full speed. If we test our health efficiency, we might learn whether we are using up valuable fuel that ought be conserved for a long haul later in life ; whether we are running at such dangerously fast speed that our heart engines will play out before long; whether we are bolting our food, disregarding rules of right living, and producing the elements of an explosion that will wreck us. We might test our attention to business, our devotion to our tasks, our consecration to what

ever work has been assigned us in this world, our efforts to improve our ability, our determination to work and win. We might search our moral make-up to see if we have forgotten the decalogue and its injunctions; if we are disregarding the rights of our neighbors; if we are citizens who uphold the sanctity of the law in letter and spirit ; if we are striving to improve the best interests of our community. Such a test probably would not produce a record similar to the one established by the Pennsylvania railroad. We would be compelled to begin a pretty thorough reformation of our whole lives.

, Clean Hands The U. S. Public Health Service has issued this advice: Disease garms lead a hand to mouth existence. If the human race would learn to keep the unwashed hand away from the mouth many human diseases would be greatly diminished. We handle infectious matter more or less constantly and we continually carry the hands to the mouth. If the hand has recently been in contact with infectious matter 'the germs of disease may in this way be introduced into the body. Many persons wet their fingers with saliva before counting money, turning the pages of a book or performing similar acts. In this case the - process is reversed, the infection, being carried to the object handled, there to await carriage to the mouth of some other careless person. In view of these facts the U. S. Public Health Service has formulated the following simple rules of personal hygiene and recommends their adoption by every person in the United States. Wash the Hands Immediately Before eating, Before handling, preparing or serving food, After using the toilet, After attending the sick, and After handling anything dirty.

BIG

PAPER SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14, A serious shortage of news print paper by October is predicted by the government officials in touch with the investigation by the federal trade commission. The inquiry thus far has shown that publishers recently were using 20 per cent more paper than ever betore, and etiil heavier consumption is looked for daring the national campaign unless there is n i.nV.eria! reduction in the size of publication?, such as has been decreed in sc;r.2 Quarters.

Read the Story in the Palladium and See It at the Palace The girl's fingers, as she edged away along the desk, closed determinedly on the scrap of manilla paper Btill held In her hand. The vault door, she saw. was also still open. But that was not the thought troubling her. The vaguo fear at the back of her mind was whether or not she was too late to save Dave Mauley from the danger threatening him. And she edcied still farther av.-sy. Her movement vas arrested by the rinsing cf tho telephone Leil close besides her. "Ac3wcr that pscne!" ha suddenly commanded. The next moment a great load seemed to lift suddenly from her heart, and a renewed wave of audacity swept through her body, for tho voics that spoke to 'her over the wire was tho triumphant voico of Manley him-

Manlcy declaring

free and that he would hurry back as fast as wheels could carry him. ''Who spoko then?" cried Legar, his face clouded by a move which apparently was an unexpected ous from bis

standpoint But the wXio of hope nofv singing through the girl's veins made her more crafty, more ready to face Legar with his own weapons. Instead of answering him her hand moved out to the bell button, for with the ringing of that bell, she felt, would surely come help. And once the slip of manilla was back in the vault, and the

door locked, she now had little to fear from Legar. o when sho fell back, 33 he sprang forward to strike her hand from the bell, she saw that her retreat lay in the direction cf the vault door. Her pursuer, however, was in no mood for equivocation. He seemed suddenly to foresee cer iutenlioa. For without warning he leaped towards her, as an animal leaps for its prey. And with one sweep of his maimed arm the iron hook at its end was snared deep in the folds of her clothing. "Give me that map!" he said, in a voice husky with blind and unreasoning rage. Margory Golden, however, had no intention of giving him the map in Question. . She fought against him.

with all the strength at ner comma&u, knowing that any moment now would bring the needed help. But Legar, with his hand on her throat, hurled her back against the heavy vault door, shook her as a terrier shakes a rat, snatched the yellow sheet from her fingers, flung her staggering Into the maw cf the open vault, and with a throaty and beastlfke cry of triumph swu j the great, steel door shut, even as the partly-dressed Wilson ran gaping in through the library door. Yet Legar took time to throw back tho tumbler lever and spin the dial before turning to confront that wide-eyed servant. Then, hearing other approaching steps, he dove through the second door, scurried like a pelted hound through shadowy rooms, slipped eel-like through a quickly opened window and escaped to the street. There he ran for a dark-bodied car standing in the deep tree shadows, and with a gasp of relief flung himself up into the cushioned seat. . As he did so a masked figure sitting crouched close back in the hooded gloom of that seat suddenly threw out a hand and garroted the startled Legar against th8 leather upholstery, on which ho began to writhe like a caterpillar on a cabinet pin. But with an equally deft second movement the man in the yellow mask snatched the oblong manilla paper from his opponent's hand. "This," blandly announced the man of mystery as his garroting fingers relaxed and he stepped down to the running board, "is one of the rare moments when I have the pleasure of trumping your ace!" And the all but apoplectic Legar lay back gasping for breath as that stranger dropped lightly from the speeding car and vanished shadowlike into the night. At the home of Enoch Golden, in the meantime, the terrified Wilson had regained both his feet, .his presence of mind and a presentable portion of his dignity. His frantic shouts for help had brought the rest of the servants flocking to the library, and his equally frantic efforts to describe what had taken place did not add to the peace of that litle group from below stairs. "I tell you, Tibbins, Miss Margory's locked in that vault, and there's no one in the 'cuso as knows 'ow to open it!" Cries of horror burst from that suddenly arrested circle. "Someone telephone for the police!" cried the second man, as Wilson shouldered out through the group swarming and gesticulating about the vault door. "Yes, the police!" He had the instrument in his shaking hand when the door opened and David Manley stepped quickly in, with Tito, the green-bodied parrot, on his arm. "What's wrong here?" was the newcomer's sharp demand. "It's Miss Margory, sir," began the quavering-voiced butler. "Well, what about Miss Margory?" "She's locked in that vault, sir, and no one in the 'ouse knows the combination!" "Cood God!" cried Manley, suddenly transfixed. Then he ran to tho vault door, flinging the others aside. Flinging off his coat, he bent over

mo umu- xne tfnenr group circled about him. And still he worked, worked with every nerve on edge, every sense alert, for time, he knew, was precious. ' "I said silence there!" he called out sharply, for his whole mind was directed to the faint click of metal against metal in front of him. But louder than before the green-bodied bird on Its broken perch repeated its cry. "Twenty-one thirty forty-two sixty!" was the 6hrill and monotonous cry of the parrot, with one eye cocked ceilingward. Manley' suddenly wheeled about. "What in God's name does that parrot mean? . . . Wait! . . . It Is . . . it must be' But instead cf finishing that declaration he repeated the bird's cry. 'Twenty-one, thirty, fortytwo, sixty." In the next breath he was facing the vault door, with his trembling fingers turning and spinning the glimmering dial. Then, without breathing, and with colorless face, his hand grasped the tumbler lever. And not cue cf that group moved as he put on that lever the pressure that would tell the tale. It was Celestine the parlor maid who indorsed her Latin temperament by falling back in a dead faint as the metal door swung open. But no one at that moment, was thinking of Celestine. "It's all right," Manley called from the darkness of the inner vault. "She's alive she'll be around in a minuteonly scsiebody get some water!" (To Be Continued.)

TO hold "its place in the sun," is the avowed purpose of a great nation's conflict. To hold "its place in the sun' is the object of every business in the great fight for industrial and commercial supremacy. To be able to hold "its place in the sun," is the supreme test of an asphalt roof. It is the sun, not rain orsnow, that plays havoc with a roof. If it can resist the drying out process of the sun beating down upon it, day after day, the rain or snow will not affect it except to wash it clean and keep it sanitary, f

Roofing takes "its place in the sun" and holds it longer than other similar roofing, because it is made cf the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts, 2nd coated with a blend of harder asphalts. This outer coating keeps the inner saturation soft, and prevents the drying out process so destructive to the ordinary roof. The blend of asphalts used by "The General' is the result of long experience. It produces a roofing more pliable than those which have less saturation, and which are, therefore, harder and drier. At each of the General's big mills, expert chemists are constantly employed to refine, test and blend the asphalts used; also to experiment for possible improvements. Their constant endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.' The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such that it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according' to thickness (1,2 or 3 ply). Experience proves that it tests longer. Behind this guarantee is the responsibility of the world's largest manufac-i turcr of roofings and buHdingjjapers.
