Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX MEDFORD MATT TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1939, by Frances . STERDAY: Although tht ..ohce have officially given up tht cast of tht muling proeuor, the Commissioner prevail on the District Attorney to send his son Michael to live on the campus, lit wants to know who sent tht note saying "Where are Professor Mttrchison's diamonds?" Chapter Three Turk Wonders U'HAT is on your mind?" Mi chael asked his wife. Tuck thrust her arm through his. "Come on over and sit down," she commanded, leading him back to the step and dropping down be side him. She put her elbow on her knee and was in the act of propping her chin on her hand again when Michael took possession of both hands and held them firmly. "Look me In the eye," he said, when she struggled, and answer the following questions, first, who Is she? And second, third, fourth and fifth, what's on your mind?" Tuck sighed again, and not being ible to use her hands, pushed her hair behind her ear with the point of Michael's shoulder. "Well, she said, "I guess it really Isn't much, was just thinking." "Suffering peanutsT Tuck laughed suddenly and set tled herself more comfortably. "After all," she capitulated, "it V- . j.'OA.W ft TttrA something on may not be much. It may be mostly imagination." Michael waited. "She is Miss Lissey, Miss Alix Lissey," she informed him. Michael groaned. "Have we got to live next door to her?" "Do you know her?" "I took Latin from her ten years go. It nearly killed mc." "I can see how it might," Tuck laid grimly. "Do you know her, Tuck?" "I've been looking at her house for a week. It looks like an old maid's dream. It's as prim as a prune box and the Inside is stuffed lull of painted cushions and batik curtains and arty furniture." "You've been inside?" "No. She's had everything out lido. House-cleaning." "I still don't see, from your de scription of her house, how you know anything about her." "Well . . , well, look at her gar den. She's old enough to have it full of mignonette and lavender and phlox and sweet-william and things like that. But it isn't. It's all modernistic with bright colors and hard lines. Her houso is like that loo. I can't explain . . . but if she were the kind of nice quiet person who had another kind of garden, end big shabby armchairs and comfortable furniture, and wore clothes to suit her, I'd like her. That kind of modernistic experi menting is all right for young peo ple who don't know what they're going to be, but when a woman gets to fifty she ought to settle down instead of being unhappy and dissatisfied with what she's got and trying to pretend she's young." 'A Heagling Look' MICHAEL hunched up his shoul ders and shivered. "Thank Heaven I'm not a woman," he said fervently. "Michael, I'm not being mean. I wouldn't tell anybody else what I thought about her. I suppose, real ly. I'm a little bit sorry for her. She won't let herself be happy. She f:oes around with ... beagling nok all the time hunting for some thing that went past years and years ago." "And you know all that just bv Washington, Nov. 13. (API New antitrust Indictments In volving Cleveland labor union ists brought a statement from Assistant Attorney General Thur man Arnold today that the Jus tice department's investigation of the building industry was not directed ngnlnst labor. "Legitimate labor activity nl ways has been respected," said Arnold, head of the depart ment's nrtti-trust division. "There has not been any against labor unions as such, but only In cases where unions or their officers have been used to create a scarcity or sonic other restraint on commerce. "Certainly there has been no urtion because of a union's ef forts to get better wages, hours or working coudiUous." Shelley Wees- looking at her house and garden?" "Well," Tuck said frankly, "not quite. She called on me today." "A-ha! At last! Is this your guilty secret?" "Of course not. It isn't any secret, dumb-bell. She should have called on me today. We've been here ex actly a week, and the curtains were all up yesterday." "Well, now that you've answered question number one," Michael suggested, "what about the other four? What's on your mind? Miss Lissey's future? Or did she say something to you that started all this fit of thinking?" "Yes. She did. I don't think she intended to or maybe she did but anyway, I've been puzzling about it ever since. It sounds so crazy I wasn't going to tell you. But . . ." She faced him, her brown eyes very serious. "Michael, is your father ... Do you know what cases he's working on just now?" Michael raised his eyebrows. He lit a cigarette with extreme care before he answered her. "Not ex actly, no," he said. "I haven't seen him for a week or so. Why?" 'Glimmerings' "VUELL . . ." She rescued her ' V hand and traced the veins on the back of it very carefully. "Well . . , I just wondered. You know, he simply never docs anything with out a reason. I just got to wonder ing how he heard about this house in the first place, and whnt made him think of us, and why he paid 4" 4 . a m." 7 It 4 t her mind, Michael knew. the rent on It before we said we wanted it, and and everything." Michael put his head on one side and looked at her, his gray eyes narrowed. "I see," he snid. "Thai is, I begin to got glimmerings. You doubt my eminent parent's inten tions? That is, you wonder if, per haps, his feelings as the District Attorney have somehow colored his natural decisions as a father? In other words, if he has something up his sleeve? Is that it?" "That's it. I don't see why I think so, but I do. It's a lovely house. The loveliest house I ever saw. I'd rather live out here behind the campus than anywhere in the world, I think with the woods so close right at our back door and such a marvelous garden, and ev erything so peaceful and lovely. But I happen to know that these houses belong to the University and one of the things Miss Lissey said today was that it was the first time she's ever known one of these houses to be rentod to anyone not a faculty member. And this is the nicest house of all." "Did you suggest that possibly the fact that most of the campus houses are empty for the vacation had something to do with our get ting it?" "Yes. and she says she's been here fifteen years and they've been empty every vacation and it's never been done before. And she asked me right out ri.nht out. Mi chael, if you weren't Michael For rester that was the District Attor ney's son. And when I said 'yes, she tightened her lips and straight ened her pince-nez, and pulled her red hat down hard on one side and got up to go." "Meaning what?" "1 don't know. But she didn't like it at all. She didn't like it when she asked me what your occupation was and I told her you were a law yer. She doesn't want us to be here, and she's going to make it as un pleasant as she can. Why. her silly old cat even fights with Agamem non! As if it were any use! Aga memnon can lick it cold in one round."

HITLER WAS BLIND Gassed during a World War skirmish with British forces in October, 1918, German Cor poral Adolf Hitler lay in Pasowak hospital, Pomerania. On November 7 he called a doctor! he was blind. He blamed it on gas, but doctors told him his blindness was due to his own hysteria, a result of his hatred for those he believed responsible for Germany's collapse. November It the Armistice was signed. As he lay blind. Hitler admitted later, eyes and brain burning in darkness, he conceived the entire fantastic scheme that led to his control of Germany, Austria. Czechoslovakia, Danzig and Poland, By November 12 his sight had re turned and he was released to put his dream into practice. Tomorrow: Ghost Playl , flocks in the valley of from one dozen to 500.
