He briefly ited sending a chit coolie, but If decided to use the 'phone n rang up tne central sta J tion. There he left word that he was starting at once for the Man darin House newest and most glittering of the great caravan serais along the Bund. On leaving the booth he heard a light footstep behind him, and be cause he had led a fairly turbulent existence for over twenty k years, he swung quickly about. "Captain North?" Simultaneous ly a hand fell lightly on his arm and he found himself gazing into the anxious face of one of the love, liest young women he had beheld in some time. Subdued excitement glittered like little knives in the depths of gray-green eyes. "Beg pardon?" "Oh, I'm so glad I've found you. That stupid lounge steward told me you'd gone." "It's my good fortune that he was mistaken." A puzzled smile appeared beneath North's close clipped black mustache and a se ries of genial crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes. "Have I had the pleasure? One meets so many people nowadays." The eirl's answering smile was as artificial as that of a taxi dano- N. C. Prisoners Will Get To Use Nightgowns To the North Carolina prison camps dotting the state from the mountains to the sea, went a special message today: Give the men nightgowns. It's time for some applied mod ern psychology for the fellows be hind the bars, prison authorities decided, and the old must give way to the new. It's not right that prisoners, after a nard day or shovel swinging, should have to cut their meat with spoon. So they're going to get knives and forks, too. And if a prisoner wishes, he may have three SCOTTS SCRAP BOOK , Oimmy Johns' ft KM tttff er. "Of course you don't know me j but please you're Captain North, the detective, aren't you?" "I m Captan North, but there are plenty of people who'd dispute the rest of your identification." She cast a hurried glance about the foyer. "Please give me a min ute. Here, let's go into the writing room." She tugged at his arm. 'I must talk to you, really, I must I'm in such trouble." So poignant was the young wom an's distress that North abruptly decided to postpone his departure for the Mandarin House and gravely offered his arm. "Why am I so honored?" he in quired as, surveyed by more than one curious glance, he and this lovely creature in the jade green gown traversed the lounge. "Have n't you any friends in Shanghai?" "Yes no that is, I've just land ed and something terrible has hap pened." "What made you think I could help you?" She shot her companion an im patient glance as they entered an otherwise deserted writing room. "Even the stupidest rickshaw coolie in Shanghai knows Hugh North's reputation or so they tell me." Her lingers kept nervously kneading an expensive evening purse of green velvet. "You will help me?" I well, Mademoiselle," North raised politely quizzical eyebrows. "Before I commit myself hadn't you better tell me what's happen ed?' . . "Oh, of course. How stupid I am," apologized his companion and dabbed mechanically at skillfully coif fed hair that was so ash blonde as to give oft occasional bluish tints. "Youll have to forgive me, Captain, but well, I'm all upset. It's my fiance I don't think you know him. "Hardly, since I don't even know you." "Oh, I'm sorry." Her bright lips quivered. "I my name's Gallian Marya Gillian." She was, he could sense, covertly studying his face as if anticipating a reaction, but the name meant nothing to him. " And your fiance?" 'Thilip King," she replied swift ly, a faint flush creeping out along her cheekbones. "He's an American?" "Yes. We crossed on the Emprea of Finland and landed this after noon. In a few days we are to be married." "Then one of you is from Shang hai?" ' "Oh, no. It's only that my fiance's business is to be here. I've never been to China before and this is Phil's first trip, too "Oh, it's awful to have this hap pen now of all times." In an ef fort to control herself, Marya Gal lian nervously smoothed the skirt of her evening gown several timet. "PerhaDg you'd better tell me what has happened." , (To Be Continued) v.- m, . Y 9A.

J. Griffin, Jr., sales manager for Pet Dairy Products Company told Rotarians here Friday, as he bas ed his talk on Dairy Month. "The American people have not been sold on the idea of proper foods. We believe in quantity, but give little thought to those foods which are msenital. In stressing the importance of milk in the daily diet, the speaker warned the members that plans were underway to launch a pro gram to get everyone to drink milk, "Heretofore, the dairy industry has f tressed milk for babies and young children. Authorities on food and health are finding that milk is es sential to adults as well as child ren. ' "The consumption of dairy pro- meals on Sunday, instead of the usual two, which some camps serve.

Nor will prisoners have to spend Saturday and Sunday afternoons in their cells. They may take a walk in prison yards. ducts is definitely on the increase, yet here in North Carolina the number of dairy cows remains the same as in 1935. This presents a berious problem to the people of North Carolina, in that more and more milk is going to be consumed, and unless more cows are brought into the state, it will mean that milk from the mid-west and New England states will have to be ship ped into North Carolina."
