These wonderful tints re made by the malters of Oiamnnd Dyes which you know aro the best dyes made for dark colors. Diamond Tints aro for light shades. They need no boiling and they last througl' repeat- ed laundcrlngs. All you netKl to do is to rinse your things in Diamond Tints. You can get such lovely shades by using them. So you see," said Mrs. Burnettc, "pretty clothes aro as easy for you to have as for me." . .« DIAMOND TINTS AT All DRUG STORES Hungarian Court Protects Street Sweeper Vienna.â€" The danger of committing that serious and peculiarly Austrian crime of "wounding odlcial honor," has been Increased by a recent magisterial ruling that not only tram conductors and tho invisible telephone girl must bo treated with the exaggerated re.s- pect due a bureaucrat, but that the street sweepers of Vienna possess the same sacrosanct character. "This is a very grave matter, Herr Richard Tritz," tho magistrate. Dr. â- Wilier, told the defendant. "You have Insulted an ofllcial personage In tho execution of his duty." Very humanly tho defendant re- plied: "I've had nothing to do with an ofllcial personage â€" I h.id a fow words with a street sweeper." "That's Just what I'm dealing with," replied Dr. Wilier. "Didn't you see his omcial cap?" "Ves, and his sceptre â€" his broom," replied Herr Fritz. "Only In Vienna could a street cleaner be treated as an ofllcial! I merely 'told him off' bo<:ause ho was making such a dust â€" In the execution of his oflllcal du- ties." The open wound to the dustman's ofllcial honor remains for tho moment unhealed, as the gravo caso was ad- journed to await tho evidence of a policeman. The Destructive Starling .Mr. W. C. Cain. Deputy Minister of l.rinils and Forests, paid a vi.sit to the lack Miner liird Sanctuary to view the trci's killed by tho Kuropean Starling and to ascertain in what way Star- lings actually killed the Scotch and White I'ine. The trees had been grown from seedlings furnished by Ontario Forestry Department iyid were from fifteen to twenty feet lu height, the Scotch I'ine being in one grove and tho Whito i'ine in a separate grove. La.st October tho European Starlings started to roost in these two groves In countless numbers and by November practically no green needles could bo seen, being covered with droppings. By Spring not only the trees were covered but two or three Inches of slimy droppings covered tlie ground and these droppings acted on the trees like lye from wood ashes. In midsummer whon thunderstorms camo and the big rains hit the trees the droppings washed off and needles fell at tho same time. Tho outside four or five rows of trees aro not killed as they did not roost near the (niter edge of tliu grove, but in central pan of each grove, where they roosted in greatest num- bers, the trees aro all dead. Discussing the starlings' diet it was discovered tliat tho birds ate a goodly number of Insects, beetles and so forth, but no more than our own na- tive flickers, woodpeckers, bluebirds and other valuable birds that are be- ing driven out by these European Star- Iln;,'.s. ".•\9 far as them being weed seed deslroyers," Jack Miner branded them as "weed seed distributors," as a large portion of weed .seeds they eat are not digested, and will and do germinate wherever dropped. .sy.Noi'.sis.

It one wishes seriously to discuss tho gravo problems of peace, what folly it is to talk ceaselessly of ma- terial disarmament if one does noth- ing to bring about moral disarmament, if ono directs openly or secretly the most magniflcent forces of life to the most sinister demands of death, if one fosters industrial activities wliich would, when desired, quic-kly furnish tho means for human destruction. • • With this community in peace once established, tho solution of the prob- lem introduc(!d by Germany would not bo dilllcult.

Bowen and Dirk followed Mary's', eyes and saw the newcomers, loo, al- most before .she could tear her fascin- atinjr gaze from theirs. Although, strictly speaking', none of the three men were looking at her, but at the necklace gleaming like new blooj against the snowy velvet of her even- ing jacket. She had had drawn it alout her swiftly but clumsily. The gieater portion of the necklace swung outside. "Don't go now, it'll look as if we're running," Bowen said quietly, almost without moving his lips. They sat in petrified silence a few minjtes, each with his own w^hirling thoughts, making half-hearted con- versation. The party at the oiiposito li»b!o ordered drinks, talked in lo";v tones, and otherwise comported them- selves in an ordinary manner. -Mary sneaked glan:es at them on;, of the corners of her eyes. Was one 0* them Tho Fly? All three were da^k; one quite handi^ome. He was the one vho had jumped to his feet. Had they been in the small dining room and left, returning by the front door? They might be quite different men, perfectly harmless customers of the place, like themselves. Although "per- f'ttly harmless" was a strong designa- tion for any of .^ack Shay's customer.^,, if the place was real'.' the criminals' hangout Bowen had said. Adroitly she managed to push the necklace out of sight, covering it witli the collar of her wrap. As the party at the opposite table made no overt move, even faile<l to look in their di-, rcction again, Mary said restlessly: "We may as well go. They know we were about to letive, they saw me put my wrap on." The waiter, who had been nowhere in sight a few minutes before, now stood leaning with arms crossed agains't a dilapidated sideboard which stood against the back wall. His face was nearly without expression us such a sii.ister countenance could manage to be. Although he kept his eyes fixed assiduously o.i a spot halfway between their table and the strangers' table, Bowen had the feeling that he was all tvttenlion, waiting to be sig- nalled for. He held up his linger, and Miko cr.me swiftly forward. "Check, please!" Bowen .said in a carrying voice. Mike fumbled for his pad. Before he could find it, Bowen whispered, "Put it on the cuff and Pll see you later. Tell .lack tomorrow's pay day. I'll be arouml." Mike nodded wt)rdles,sly. Miko would have moved off, but Bowen detained him. "Is that him?" he asked .softly. "Yes. Yes. I tell him. Thank you!" Mike answered, making significant fa- cial contortions, and palming a coin Bowen handed him. He hurried away before any more cmild be suid. So one of those men was The Fly! Mary had become adept ;n -eading Mike's peculiar form of sign-language, and no wonder, for his pantomime was more exaggerated than subtle. As an actor, Mike was pretty much of a "mugger." As long as he kept his back turned to the enemy, however he was safe. Dirk ."yiid, "Ready?" Mary, powder- ing her nose, nodde<l. They got up and moved toward the door. Dirk leading, Mary following, and Bowen bringing up the rear. Mike leaped into action with exaggerated servility, coming forward to open the door. Whether by design or not, he was almost at Mary'.s side, and direct- ly between her and tho three seatci' men, as she walked to the door. No one of the me at the table moved. Once outside, Mary saggt'd against Dirk's arm. But when he looked at her sharply, in quick fear that ."sh-.' was nlii>ut to faint, he saw that she w-ns shaking with silent laughter Hysdi'ical! H gripped her arm tightly and snarled at Rowon: "I hope you're satisfied!" "Honey, I'm not h.ivinff systerics, honest!" Mary giggled. "It's just the If t-(1o\vn. I never was so thrilled in my life! Wouldn't have missed it for aiiyMi'ng!" "Perhaps it will amuse you to know there was nothing to miss," Dirk said sharnly "You don't believe all this claptrap, do you? Three drummer- from Terro Haula making the rounds of the speaker, i.-s, and you let this clown feed yni a wild story about murderers an;! iev.'cl robbers. You've l>een rcad'ng tn-> mueh Ede.ir Wallico, Rowen. Keep it to voursolf after this, will you?" Dirk gripped M.iry's arm and !•'â- ' (•cr to the ci rb where hi."» coupe sto<Ml. Several car i3n{rth8 away stood Bow- ORANGE PEKOE BLEND "SALADiC »M en's rattle-trap. He started to go to- ward it, then turned and camo up to the coupe and leaned through the open window. "Got a grun?" he .i.skrd, "No, Al Capone, I have net," Dick .".aid. "And what of it?" With a quick gesture Bowen drew an automatic out of his pocket and 1 andcd it into the car, butt first. Even Dirk was touched, disconcert- ed for a minute. Then he said with good-natured .^corn, "Oh, keep it! What if somebody does plug me? Y'ou'll get a good story." Bowen's temper gave way. "I don't give a damn what happens to you," he said roughly. "But you've got a woman with you, remember. Take this whether you want it or not." He shoved tho gun into Dirk's lap and swung off. As they moved down the street, Bo'wen's little tin-can car followed them. Something about that grotesque equipage and its owner â- wrung Marp's h'cart and anger flooded her. "I think you're a beast!" .she said to Dirk. "You shouldn't have talked to him like that! Maybe Mike lied to him, but I'm sure he didn't mean to lie to us!" "Mike? Who's Mike?" M.Try told him what she knew. "You mean," Dirk said slowly, meaningfully, "that all this so-called evidence he's got that a man named The l''ly rqbbed that house, killed Mrs. Jupiter and then ran your brothei down presumably to keep him from telling, is the word of a double-starred yegg like that waiter?" Put that way, it did sound rather thin. But some traitorous part of Mary persisted in believing that in his own way Bowen was right. Might there not be truth even in a "yegg" like >'ike, if the claims of friendship demanded it? What had happened '^'as clear i enough â€" Jack Shay, still mfiling over! the significance of that afternoon's taxi cra.sh, had carried t'lo name j "Harkncss" back to his friends in that room, and asked if it meant anything to any of them. It ha.! meant a good deal to The Fly, naturally. He and his two compan- ions had slipped out tho side door and came in again by the front for the purpose of getting a look at her. It had been sheer bad luck that th«y had seen the, necklace. * Fear grow in her. If Bowen's rea- soning were true, then the Fly misht be following them this very minute. They were in lower Broadway now, in the manufacturing district, dark and comparatively deserted, headin;! for the Nassau street law office of Stephen Ruyther and Son. They were going along at about 45 miles an hour, but clinging tenaciously on their trail, about a block behind, was Bowen's ma- chine, its "onenian top" swaying peril- ously in the bree'/.e. Nassau street was dark as they came to a stop before the small office building in which throe generat'ons of Ruythe'rs had their offices. "Cover that up," Dirk tol 1 her curt- ly as he tiirned the key in lite switch nnd locked t'e car. Holding the collar of her coat li?^htly .-.cross her thront with both hands, she got out and fol- lowed him into thn o'iild'ng. The lobby was dark except for a dim light way at the back, which proved to be a watch-light kept burn- ing for safeguard in a little hole-in- the-wall jewelry shop opening off the lobby. Hy its pale and ghostly radi- ance they found their way up the stairs. Steps, steps, steps â€" arm in arm they went up, up, up, Mary's fingers fairly pinching Dirk's arm, so tcnsft was their pressure. The stair-well was pitch black, but each landing place wa.s fnintly 'ighfened from without by a tall, narrow window. On one of these Dirk bent his head and kissed her. "Scared?" he asked. She could see well enough by thi.^ time to see tliat ho was smiling fondly. She squeezed TEA Fresh from the Gardens" his arm tighter. "Awfully," she said. The blaze of light that followed when Dirk .^ad opened the office door and punched the button was blinding. Mary threw up her hands to protact her eyes from it. Dirk went straight to the safe and began twirling tho knob. Mary unfastened the ruby neck- lace, held it up for a last admiring glance, and put it into the soft leuth^r bed he held out for it. He laid it away inside, shut the door and spun the knob. "Phew!" he said, getting up and dusting off his hands. "Thank GoJ that's done!" He made a pretense of mopping his fevered brow with a handkerchief. "Five more minutes with that thing on my mind, and I'd have buckled under the strain." Mary lifted ironical eyebrows. "What? Surely you don't believe in such nonsense as thieves and things'"' Dirk was about to reply, when the very windows reverberated with the ftrce of a crash in the street outsii.iL>. Pausing only long enough to pick up the gun Bowen had given him, Dirl: rushed to one of the windows which faced Nassau street, lifted it and looked out. (To be continued.) Dickens in the Lead Croydon, England. â€" Dickens still re- mains the most popular of British nov- elists, Shakespeare is read more than ever, and Tennyson and Longfellow- have a greater number of readers than any living poet. This is shown by the annual report of the Croydon libraries committee for 1931-32, and may be taken as in- dicative of tho reading tastes of mid- dle-class Britons, the Loudon suburb of Croydon being a cross-section of typical English middle-class folk. A slight failing off in the demand for certain authors is also seen. Thos. Hardy, still largely read, is no longer Insistently called for, and the same can be said of George Meredith, Jos- eph Conrad, Anthony Hope and Rud- yard Kipling, although the demand for certain of their books continues una- bated.
