O'BRIEN SYNOPSIS Aboard boat from Newfound- land to Canada, Clyde Dawson, Canadian Intelligence Department, finds box containing the hand cf Ltmoy Statler, a spy who has been hanged In Newfoundland for murder. Tracing him through the passenger list, Dawson captures Paul Dexel, a confederate of the hanged man in spy operations gainst the R. A. F. Bomber Ferry Command. Traces of Ink show that fingerprints have been tak- en of the dead man's hand. With Dexel captured, Dawson proceeds toward Chicago, following the clew of Statler's cryptic note bout a broken "reunion date" and glfl who looks like a famous Circs*.

The investigator folded hie newspaper to enjoy the serenity divorced from a few hours from war and murder and hangings and the sorry panorama of human tragedy. * The dean of Btate University received Dawson the next after- noon and got to the point immed- iately. "Now here's the story about Darwin Lemoy . . ." "Who?" "Darwin Lemoy, the man whose picture was sent to me by your department at Ottawa . . ." So that was It, mused Dawson. Lemoy Statler's real name wae Darwin Lemoy. "Well, Lemoy was one of the university's all-time, all-round ath- letic stars. He wag partlcuarly able In hockey . . ." "Baseball too, perhaps?" "Oh yes, baseball too. He cap- tained a championship diamond team, but It was In hockey that he won bis brightest epurs. I even understand that at one time the Boston Bruins and Chicago Hawks made him offers, but he said he wasn't Interested In professional sport. But he apparently changed big mind later on because, after graduating from law school in 1929 and practicing for a few years, we heard that he had gone abroad to play hockey for a Czechoslovaklan team in 1935. Two years later, however, he attended a reunion here and starred In an 'Old Boys' versus 'Today's Boys' hockey game. We have the re- unions every five years and . . ." "That make one due this year what month, dean?" asked Daw- son. "Thte month, In two works' time. But we had no report from Darwin I/emoy. The publicity com- mittee tried to locate him, but all letters came back stamped with 'No Such Pei-Hon at This Address.' Perhaps you ran give me some Idea about what happened . . ." "I'm sorry," replied Dawson quietly. "I cannot divulge any in- formation except that he- will not be available for this reunion. You may tell anybody that much but no more and. under no considera- tion, tell who gave the informa- tion. If I'm to keep my promise about Hpcncy yon nn si recip- rocate, right?" * The dean ili^misunl the mailer with a wave of ills hand. "The only other information I can glvo you Is that 1 heard from a number of sources-- mostly fol- low iiHininl that they had grown rather irked with Lemoy. Appar- ently his ideas had undersone soiini (|iioer Iwisls In rrcr-nt years . . ." "In what way?" "Well, he .seemed In defend the Nazi system wli'-ne-ver occasion arose, and appeared to have a plentiful and impressive nrrny nf figures to bark up opinions at all times." The dean showed the. InvestiCT- tor a number of photographs. Le- moy Statler was undoubtedly Dar- win Lemoy. Numerous clippings acompanied the photos mostly from a sport column by one Kergio O'Moara. * Dnwson took a taxi to the Chi- cago Star office. Fergie O'Meara, a k 1 n d 1 y-mnnne.red Irishman, wheeled around from his type- writer. "I'm In an awful rush, hut I always have time for a, friend of Darwin Lemoy's," he boomed at Dawson's single sentence of In- troduction "Maybe you can tell me where the son of a gun IB he's wanted for the 'Old Boys' game at Slate on . . ." "Just a minute, Mr. O'Meara," laughed Dnwson. "I can't tell you where he is I'm trying to find that out, too. Being an old friend of the family In town on business I thought you, as his most loyal historian, might be able to give or* lead," :: Ko'"ct' -IQ. As a matter of fact, I'm a llli.- Ml"" he <ll(ln 'ir drop mo a note. ,v used t nae ft lot of one another *-at college games, and his frinnds were my friends . . .'' "Then maybe (hip will prove the lead," cut In Duwson, taking the girl's picture from his pocket. "Did you, by any chance, ever com* across this girl in company with him?" O'Meara took one glance at the picture and his eyes lit up: "Well, well . . . this picture Is very fa- miliar to me. Last time I saw Le- moy it was a year a-go or so the Star was running a Movie Double contest and he entered this picture. She was some girl he knew from Home wood that's a suburb and I remmeber he got a big kick out of It whe.il she won the weekly cash award. . ." Dawson concealed Ms eager- ness. "If she won a cash award that means your cashier will likely have a record of her name and addresfl . . ." O'Meara was already on the phone. "I'll have It In a Jiffy If you get any news, give me a call, huh?" Ten minutes later Dawson was In a taxi bound for Homewood, his pulse quickening. Outside a conservative lime- stone house, Dawson paid the driv- er and slowly mounted the steps, studying every external detail from force of habit. A tall dark woman In house- keeper's garb answered the door- bell. "Is Miss Carole Fiske' In?" he asked, fairly holding his breath for the answer. The dark woman glared at him before speaking. "Mlsa Flske Isn't here." Dawson played a long shot. Lowering his voice he said : "I have a message for her from Le- moy." The dark woman seemed un- certain. Finally she opened the door. "Just wait In the parlor. She will be home from the office in a short while . . ." "Office? Perhaps I could piclt her up. Where . . ." The housekeeper spoke curtly: "The War Supplies Department does not permit callers Just wait In the parlor." Thanking her. Dawson entered. Abruptly Dawson tensed aa he saw a framed photograph on the fireplace ledge. It was that of an American soldier a sharp-faced man of about 28. There was no mistaking him remembering fac- es was Daweon's forte. The picture was that of the Am- erican soldier whose body had been found beside that of the Royal Air Force Ferry Command captain In the speakeasy In St. John's, Newfoundland . . . one of the two murders for which Le- moy Statler, alias Darwin Lemoy, had been hanged!

Russians Proud Of War Doctors So successful has become the work of Red army hospitals that 70 per cent of the wounded men who enter them are later dis- charged fit for active duty, ac- cording to "Information Bulletin," issued from the Soviet embassy at Washington. The Russians point proudly to their progress in the treatment of skull wounds, which caused 75 per cent fatalities in the First Great War, and to the development of better methods of dealing with shock. Praise ii given to the heroism of Red army doctors in the field. The case of Prof. Alexander Vish- nevski, well-known surgeon, ia cited. This doctor has performed more than 400 difficult operations in field hospitals. "During one operation, the pa- tient," says the Bulletin, "while on the operating table was struck in the leg by a machine-gun bul- let from an enemy plane. Vish- nevski completed one operation and proceeded immediately to the second extracting a bullet with- in one minute after it had struck." Another Soviet doctor, Surgeon Spasski, was operating on a wounded soldier for a hip wound when the patient "complained of severe pain and a feeling of heaviness in the wound. The surgeon discovered an unexploded 37 millimetre anti-tank shell im- bedded in the flesh and success- fully extracted it." TABLE TALKS SADIE B. CHAMBERS APPETIZING AUTUMN DISHES Probably there IB no other sub- ject about which the homemakers are hearing so much these last few weeks as "Meat Shortage." Of course next in order would be the many debates about rationing of various articles. Others may feel at the present moment that there to only one important sub- ject and that is "Income Tax." Re- gardless of which iubject Is most Important the homemakers task is bow to feed the family well and keep everyone happy. To most of UB clouds gathered on the horizon recently as eggs, one of the main substitute* for meat, were soaring In price. To help solve these problems we suggest the following recipes: Carrot Loaf 2'/i cups cooked carrots 1 medium size onion 1 cup diced celery 2 tablespoons green pepper 1 eggs 1 cup condensed milk 2 teaspoons salt Dash of pepper Dash of mace 2 cups cooked rice Put carrots, onion, celery and green pepper through the food chopper, use finest blade.

In Praise of Potatoes No compliment is now tori high for the potato, which is to b> our staple and support of the Winter. Still, the familiar "spud'' l>en:in its English life with abundar.: bou- quets. "These potatoes," wrote Haw- kins in 1565, "be the mo-,' 'leli- cate rootes that may be eaten and doe far exceede our passeiuiis or carets." Now the men of. science are busy clearing the reputation of the potato of it.s su]>r><ised faults. It is not, we are told, a stodgy lump of starch: it is not fattening. It is, instead, a jitst of vitnmit.s, a calorific jewel. Antiquity praised it IV. its flavor; we, more gravely, for health. Whichever wny you take it, the potat^) appears "a darrlin' thinjr,'' as Sean O'Casey's Joxer Daly would have said, a patrJ it of perfect behavior, am! the r> ^. of all virtues.
