'3CVE No. 4431 Monument Commemorates Gathering of 50,000 at Birkenhead in World Camp To perpetuate the memory of the third World Scout Jamboree at Ar- rowe Park, near Birkenhead, England, a statue of a Boy Scout has just been unveiled nt the end of Pilgrim's Way, where the five main roads of the tent city met- At the Jamboree, held a littlo more than two ..ears ago, 50,000 Boy Scouts from seventy-three coun- tries camped together -'or two weeks. In the absence of Ix>rd Baden- Powell, the Chief Scout of the World, at whose call in August, 11)29, the youth of the world came together, Lord Hampton, Chief Commissioner of the Boys Scouts Association of Great Britain, unveiled the statue in the presence of several high British Scout officials. Lord Hampton was the guest of honor at the twenty-first annual meeting of the National Coun- cil of the- Boy Scouts of America at Memphis, Tenn., last spring, and later made a tour during which he observed many phases of scouting in America. The memorial is in the form of a life-size figure of a Boy Scout carved in green stone in an open frame of buff sandstone. It was designed by Leonard Barnish of Liverpool. Below the figure appear the words: "Pre- sented to the Borough of Birkenhead by the Boy Scouts Association to com- cemorate the World Jamboree at Ar- rowe Park, 1929." The inscription also includes an extract from Lord Baden- Powell's farewell message at the Jam- boree which reads: "Today I send you out from Arrowc to all the world bearing my symbol of peace and /ellowsh-p each an* cf you my ambascador, bearing my mes- sage of love and fellowship on the wings of sacrifice and service to the ends of the earth. Frow now on, the Scout sym' .>! of peace is the Golden Arrow. Carry it fast and far, so that all men may know the brotherhood of men." Councillor E. J. Hughes, Mayor of Dirkenhead, accepted .he statue on be- half of the borough. How Carrier Pigeon Finds His Way Home The theory that the homing pigeon has a special sense of direction Is disproved by experiment)) conducted by Dr. Ralph H. tirundlach of the Uni- versity of v'.'ashlnKton. A better ex- planation for Its skill In finding Its way home that the carrier has good vlnlon, wide cruising "angtt and some special motivation. Dr. Orundlach constructed a mazo In such a way that only a creature having a direction of nenso would be able to solve It. Experienced homers were baffled tven after three months of trial. Another experiment was to release sixteen trained racing homers on a H( range course. On the new course only three came home In less than flve hours, six weru out from one to four- teen nights and two n ver came home at all. ADMIT ONE BY SIDNEY 11ORLKR. svxorsis Phillip Crane, a young aeroplane de- signer, comrs to London on holiday. At Waterloo Station ho saves u girl, Mar- gery Ferguson, from death by snatching her from beneath a large car. On arrival at the Mid-Western Hotel, where he has suddenly decided to atiy. he is surprised to flnd a letter addressed to him, although no one could have known of his Intention to stay t:iere. He la further mytlfled by finding the letter Is written in code. After dining out. on )>!H return he finds an unknown woman In his rooms. CHAPTER II. Cont'd) "Yes of course. They were here awaiting me." He did not know why he was carrying on this stupid game, except that the woman was tempor- arily dominating him. "Then, why weren't you here to keep the appointment? If I told " She stoppcl and looked at Crane as though she wanted to read his soul. "You are much younger than I im- agined. They said you were thirty- five, and wore n moustache." "So I did until ten days ago. Then I got tired of it." He smiled at the siiiy conceit which had leapt into his mind merely because the first state- ment happened to be true. The woman seized on the words. "Were you suspected? Was that why you shaved off your moustache? Come here!" Because he did not obey the command immediately, she stepped forward and, taking him by the shoul- ders, drew his face down. At first, Philip had the insane notion that she meant to kiss him, but the fierceness in her face belied any such idea. "Yes, you are speaking the truth," she said. So dynamic was her manner that he actually felt an overwhelming re- lief. It was as though he was a real player in this mystery-drama, instead of being a mere understudy and a fraudulent one at that . . . "You know what you are to do?" the interrogation proceeded; "but I am wasting time," she went on in that same tempestuous fashion; "everything was detailed clearly in the letters. By the way, what have you done with them?" "I thought it best to lock them up." This, again, was the truth. It seemed somewhat to calm the storm. "Yes; you can't be too careful. Any- thing happen on the voyage over?" "No nothing." The game was be- ginning to intrigue him now; and the belief that there svas possibly some- thing crooked -n it added to the In- terest. Stupid, perhaps, but he was feeling like a man who had been given a ticket marked: ADMIT ONK 'U> ADVENTURE. He was going on. "No one followed you here?" came the next snapped .)uestion. "Not that 1 ;now of. A fellow bumped into me in King Street, St. James's, tonight, but I put the brec/e up him properly and he soon cleared off." Time was giving him confidence; h-i was beginning to feel that, up till now, ho had not done so badly in his totally unrehearsed part. A sense of humor made him add sharply: "You ought to have had more sense than to come here dressed like that. With your hair and figure, everyone in the hotel will remember you." He expected an explosion, but, in- stead, he saw something of the anger die down in the beautiful face. "I had to dress I'm going on to the Kosy Dawn Night Club. Stevensson is to be there. Have you met Stevens- son yet?" "No not yet." eyes had not been fixed on the wo- man's face, he must 'iave grinned. "You seem to have learned inde- pendence in America, aut I warn you, Crane, that that sort of stuff wont go with Stevensson, or with " Sho broke off quickly as, for the third time since this interview had started, a puzzled expression, which seemed to be more than half suspicion, flashed into her face. "You don't speak with any Ameri- can accent," she said. "Of course not; don't you know that I'm a C'ornishman, and that a Cor- nishman never acquires any accent but his own?" This farce must end. He yawned. "I hate to be rude, but I'm going to bed. Make any appointment you like for after eleven tomorrow morning, but you'll have to excuse me now. I want to make up f<>r the sleep I lost." PreUy good, he thought. When the woman was gone, he'd roar vith laughter and try to speculate what it all meant on his way to the smoking room. His visitor rose at the unmistak- able hint. "All right," she said curtly, "I'll go. 1 don't know what Stevensson will say, though." Crane yawned again in a most real- istic manner. "Let him say what he likes. Gocc! night." Crossing to the door, he opened it. She looked rt him again in that strangel/ intent fashion. "I'll tell Stevensson that I think you're too good-looking for the job," she said; "the girl may fall in love with you." The words were accom- panied by a short, hard laugh. "The girl ?" He had repeated the two words before pulling himself up- A very disturbing mental picture had flashed across his brain; he saw him- self looking again into the brown eyes of a girl who was si/rely troubled a girl who had whispered the words: "They meant to kill me!" "It's all set down in your instruc- tions anyone would think you hadn't read them! You're to attend to the girl keep her out of mischief!" An- other short, hard laugh. "Stevensson's looking for her now in his big green car; she's somewhere in London." Another memory stabbed his brain; that juggernaut from whose wheels he had snatched the girl had been painted green! It was too much Mr. Close "This varnllun has rout me a small fortune."

"But you musn't do that!" "No?" There was a challenge in the monosyllable. "I won't allow it do you think I want all Scotland Yard prowling j round?"

Philip did some lightning reflecting. A memory came back to him. He saw a girl's face: i., was white with fear. Whispered words faltered from her lips: "They meant to kill me!" The vision las cd for at least half si minute, and at the ind of that time, an explanation to this mystery had arrived. The situation was plain. He, by some extraordinary chance, had been mistaken for a crook. This girl, who must belor.g to a gang,- believed he was someone else. That explained everything, >f course the crypto- grams in the letters bearing his name. What a joke! And for this amazing thing to have happened to him n quiet, ordinary commonplace draughts- man, who had come from Truro of all places in the world! His mood of jocularity soon passed. He became serious. It was the vision of that girl's face again, the terror he remembered seeing in her eyes, that brought the gr.i -ity back into his mind. But for his quick dash that girl would now have been dead- Dead! It was a horrible thought to associate with anyone so young and beautiful, so fragrant, and so vibrant with the happiness that should have been hers. Then a third thought came. This affair, however big it might be, con- cerned exclusively other people. It was no business of his. And yet, al- though his native common-sense, he knew, had dictated it, he was not pre- pared to listen to this voice of caution. Ordinary and commonplace he might be: '! ill and uneventful his life up till now ,-ertainly had been; he was the last person to be associated with any foolish D^n Quixotry, but He wns 4 ealthful food..

Theydon't depress the heart, and may be taken freely. That is medical opinion. It is a fact established by the last twenty yean of medical practise.
