It comes to mind now. that we associate the June-mouth with a number of things - with the blossoms in -orchard and hedge- row, with the early flowers 0' garden, and rich heads of purple lilacs against the green of new leaves. June means the love-lit twitters of nesting birds, mysteri- ous to humans but we suspect none the. less meaningful. To fami-folk, it is cattle on the mea- dows the nice sheen of summery days back to pond and stream. fields in varied stages of crop- ping. To many it returns an Anniversary of moment. to remind them of I. covenant of the past, one which perhaps was taken all too light:liy'in the faith and en- thusiasm of youth, but which has gained meaning in the years' turn. One may look back to a year of matrimony, another to a half-cen- tury or longer. And invariably. we fancy, these look back with lovely memories because of the June-time which enhanced that scene.

with James, we have just re- turned from attending a June wedding this evening, unique in the fact that two brides. nieces of ours, were participants in the ceremony. True the month pro- vided only indifferent weather for the oocaoion, but that was easily forgotten in the "beauty and bloom" of the season. Pink ap- ple blossoms decorated the bridal arch, tulips in rich colors and narcissi virgin-white made up the tasteful decorations. James who professes to find every social engav, n. a chore, no matter how rare or beautiful the pros- pect. slipped into his best suit hurriedly, being careful to take another bitch in his belt. "There now, Ellen!" he said, "I'm worn to a shadow of what I was - and here you go dragging me away to a wedding! Better for me to stay at home and rest!" As indeed it might have been if James' leisure would not likely take in a lengthy prowl along the fields. Whether or not. he is actually bored by SOClBI1 outings, we shall

Our Trip A To Europe

By Helen M. Jack (Continued)

We left Rome in the evening. en route to Marseille. on a very crowded coach, which look us along the Mediterranean Sea. As the land on the edge of the coast is very high and rugged, the railroad is built right along the water. The Italian and French Rlvieras. known by the people there as the "Cote d'Azure" is a great tourist attraction for the wealthy. with its beautiful ramb- ling villas and private swimming pools. Particularly noticeable was the change in the colouring of the rocky coast from is reddish white in the south to black as we entered France. We noticed sev-

eral fields of carnation: grown for commercial purposes, grapes and olive orchards and various

kinds of tropical vegetation.

The coach was not air condit- ioned and the heat made travel- ling so uncomfortable we were thinking more of reaching our destination than of admiring the scenery. Even the blue-green waters of the Mediterranean ap- peared to be almost to the boil- ing point. We passed through Monte Carlo, with its huge gam- bling casino overlooking the sea. and the funious resorts of Cannes and Nice.

Marseille is a very hilly city built on the edge of the Mediter- ranean. We noticed liere a great number of coloured people, which we presumed were from Africii. as we walked down towards the

waterfront. After viewing the beautiful harbour, we made our way up to the church "Notre

Dame de Gardc." Overlooking the entire city and the Mediterranean, it can only be reached by an elevator which rises at about a 45 degree angle.

As our main interest in Mar- seille was to get Canadian dollar travellers' cheques cashed, at which we were unsucccessful, we proceeded on the night train to Paris. We had been told that French people do a lot of travel- ling on week ends-well, I think they all managed to get on that train. As we naturally didn't have, or weren't able to get :1 reservation, we had in attempt to get on one of the few coaches which were not reserved. We -be- lieved it was full when we got on. as we had to stand at the end of the coach, but it seemed like as many more people got on afterwards. We had no choice but to stand in the aisle or else sit on our suitcases. There was hardly an inch of space unoccu- pied and sleep was out of the question. Never again do I hope to put in such a night on a train.

"Our friend, Moe Martin. found out for me that your father's Cadillac was washed and polish- ed the very day he . . . died." Kay sat down, staring with interest at Johnny as he talked. "In your friend's garage yesterday. while 1 was alone for a moment, I took a look underneath the car. The underside of the lenders had been mud-spattexed. And on every tin there was a dried, muddy band around the edge. as though all four tires had passed through muddy ruts. Driving had remov- ed some of it, of course, from the pan: of the tires that touch- ed the road."

Kay said, "I gueu no one re- membered iihere hadn't been any rain . . ." She looked puzzled. "But where would the mud oome from then?"

"From right here at the bottom of the hill, where the lane CTDSOI that rutted stretch beside the marsh."

"That's riglvt! It's always wet there!"

"So the car was heiie," Johnny went on. "And the thing is, why

did your father come here? Whom did he meet?"

"Do you think mother knows?"

Johnny sighed, reached for a cigarette. "Dammit, Kay, I wish I knew. There are several an-gles, several persons it could have been."

"And," the girl said without emotion, "people who despised my father for . . . what he was.”

"Yes, there could be numerous motives behind his death." He felt that he could talk matter-of- factly about the crime; Kay had had no love whatsoever for her father. She spoke of him now as though he had been a complete stranger to her. "Kay, right now I'm not so concerned about mo- tives. Somehow, I've got to find out what's locked in your moth- er's mind. Some vague stirring of her memory brought her down this way last night." He indi- cated the box of tea on the shelf, the electric peroolator in which water had been boiled. "Those things . . . the typewriter . show that she'd been writing down here before the night of the ac-

cident. This is the starting point. Once I read that manuscript I might find something which will give me a contact with your moth- er's mind. I'll have In approach. I'll know where to start. Last night, for a moment, you meant something to her. Then her mind slipped back again."

Talking, Johnny had walked back into the adioininvg room. He stooped down in front of the book shelves again. shoving things aside. Removing a stack of old magazines, his pulse qulckensed as he uncovered two blue-colored cardboard boxes. About two and a half inches deep, each was large enough to hold a ream of type- writer-sizie paper.

The float box was half filled with unused sheets of while bond He opened the other. Kay caught her breath.

'That's it!" she exclaimed.

The second box was filled with typewritten mavnuscripl.

He nodded, picked up several

topmost sheets. riffled through them. A word caught his eye. The word was "Bart." - "So that's it!" he told. Kay had seen the name also. "Bart is a main character in the story she was writing. It was absolutely fictitious - yet now your mother has the idea that I am Bart."

Key murmured. "Yes, that ex- plain! it."

He put the sheets back in the box, held the llW0 boxes beneath his arm. "Well." he said with satisfaction. "we've found it. I'll read the rnsmiscxipt up at the house. It's too blasted hot hero-"

Key was looking at him out of eyes that were tenscly direct.

"Johnny?"

He paused, the cigarette hang- ing limply in his mouth.

"Johnny. I've got to ask you I've got to know what you're thinking."

He saw her bile her lip. Then she blurted, "Do you think mother might have done it?"

Johnny Saxon walked out into the other room, set the two card. board boxes on the typewriter table, pinched out the cigarette in a saucer that was near the typewriter. He tui-ned and looked at the girl. She was standing mid- way between the two rooms, still watching him.

"Kay," he said slowly, "yester- day you and I" were almost shot while we were crossing the har- bor. Either someone wanted to pick off one or the other of us- or both. Certainly not your moth- er. She was in her room at the

time. Moe Martin can verify that."

"You check every angle, don't you?"

He shrugged. "You have to. I oven suspected you-st flrst."'

She continued acrou the room, then stood near him, said seri- ously, "I know you did. And I know when you stopped thinking that-a moment ago. Thanks. Johmry." "But there are the others,” he went on quickly, trying not to think how this lovely girl affect- ed blm emotionally. He wished she didn't do this to him. A de- tective ought to be cold and harsh and unimoving. He was not. He was an emotional guy. "Others?" Kay waited. "Almost anyone. Even the man who employed me to find out what I could. to help your math-

estate."

"Uncle Thomas?" The way the girl said the words, they were more of a statement rather than a question.

SUCCESSFUL TREATNENT OF ACUTE RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE BY ACTH

When Drs. Banting and Best gave insulin to the world and "thus permitted diabetics to live their allotted life span instead of dying within months or a year or two, they started many research work- ers investigating other uses of insulin. notably insulin shock for mental easel. the dov' t of appetite in undernourished child- ran. and other helpful findings.

While the entire world was waiting for further production of ACTH for the treatment of rheu- matism and arthritis, research workers again tried using AOPH in other acute and chronic condi- tions and they are now report-

the successful treatment of heart disease by this wonder drug, ACTH.

In The Journal of the American Medical Association, Dre. May G. Wilson and Helen N. Heiper report lhelr results In treating acute rheumatic cardllls (heart disease) in 11 consecutive patients. six to l8 years of age admitted to the New York Hospital. In six pat- ients it was a first attack and in live it was a recurrent attack.

In every patient the results showed that ACTH stopped the symptoms by the third to seventh day. Further. there were no sig- nicent bed side effects caused by this drug. In eight of the patients the symptoms of csrditls did not return when the drug was discon- tinued. some of the signs showing the favorable effects of ACTH were a decrease in the size of the heart. diseppea ance of valve symptoms causing leakage of blood back from one heart chamber to another. decrease in the size of the liver (one of the usual signs of an incompetent or falling heart is an increase in the size of the lives) and the electrocardiocraph trac- ings became normal. The patients were able to walk safely two 30 four week: after the beginning of treatment by ACTH. At the pres- ent time, these patients have been

observed from four to 12 months since treatment and the condition of the heart is the same as when treatment was stopped.

The treatment, which gave such gratifying results in these 11 cases. consisted of 80 to 100 mg. injected into the muscles every six hours for the first three days and 40 to 60 mg. for the remaining days.
