Sherlock Holmes Re-enters Russia For a long time Russian children, not to say .adults, have been deprived of the pleasure of rapt contemplation of the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Detective fiction was somehow considered beneath .the dignity of Marxist mentality, and those who wanted to regale themselves with the mysterious go-' go-' ings-on of late 19th century London had to do it by patronizing the inevitable bootleggers, who appear to have sprung up no less readily under socialism than under republicanism. . Now the Soviet Union is once more allowing across its borders those tales of Sherlock Holmes and others of the detective and ghostly cliques. Possibly the thrillers provided by the public treason trials, and the exploits of the OGPU agents in foreign lands were expected to provide all the necessary thrills to Soviet youth. If so, it wall be a relief to have them given an opportunity to turn to pulp-paper thrillers instead of the genuine article. Fewer Foreclosures Every person, every family, owning the house and land on which they live have a doubled stake in the country they may be asked to defend. All of us have a stake in America, all derive very tangible benefits from our free way of life. But those who actually own a bit of the land itself have a double stake. They are rightly considered an anchor of social stability. , ' , .. , So it is good to note that foreclosures on city homes have fallen to the lowest level since 192G, a decline of 25 per cent last year. There were only four foreclosures per 1000 city dwellings last year, as compared with 13 in 1933. So far so good. Now the problem is to increase by hundreds hun-dreds of thousands the number of people who are able to own their own homes. Increased income, decreased cost of land, building, and financing charges, are all elements in attaining this desirable goal. But recent rises in the cost of building a modest home, estimated by the Northwestern National Life Insurance Co. at several hundred' dollars for a. modest home within the last 12 months, are going to hold back that desirable desir-able trend toward widespread ownership. One of our prob-ems prob-ems is to try to prevent repetition of the 1914-1920 situation, tvhen construction costs rose 100 per cent. , Can-Be Dona- - - - - -r1- - Only a couple of years ago, the United States for the irst time decided to throw old-fashioned prudery into the ash can and do something about syphilis.- Led by Surgeon-General Surgeon-General Parran, Health authorities went about breaking ancient an-cient taboos and launching a real campaign against -this wrecker of men and women. j ' Not so much is heard about the campaign publicly after the first burst of frankness and enthusiasm. But the work goes on. And it is getting results. The U. S. Public Health Service is now able to announce a decrease of about 22 per cent in the number of syphilis cases reported in. Illinois last year: 21,979 in 1940 from 23,222 in 1939. That means that the campaign is showing results. This is a disease that can be stamped out under a resolute and sustained sus-tained attack... The attack should not be allowed to falter. T STAND UP THERE NOT CM YOUR LIFE CUR AMD I'LL PUT YOU CAPTAIN MADE MA A , THRU TH'MAMUAU COUPC SAL TO SEE THAT OF ARMS ... SEE X DIP KITCHEN POLICE 1 7,?

I was thinking- how little we can realize in the security of our country, the anxiety and mental as . well as physical suffering1 the people in the warring .countries are experiencing' every day. A short time ago I received a letter from a friend in Bristol which made me sense a little more concretely con-cretely what these peoples are enduring. - She told me of the birth of a little grandchild during an air-raid. About nine o'clcc-t, she said, her daughter became ill. They had previously arranged for her to go to a maternity home, but before her time, that had been bombed. I shall quote parts of the letter, "So we prepared to have her re main at home. When we tried to call the doctor and nurse we found that the telephone wires had been destroyed by' the bbmbmg'rArthifr had to go out to fetch them. He went to the Warden's Post, and finally got his car out and they went in all the gun fire and bombing bomb-ing for help. First, though, the Warden would have him bring a nurse that his invalid daughter always has with her to stay with me till they came .back. You can guess how glad I was to have her during that anxious time, not knowing whether Arthur himself would even get to the doctor's or whether they would all be killed trying to get to us. But at last they came and about two o'clock, the bombs and guns still going, another an-other little girl arrived. They are both doing very well and Susan of course is delighted...! have Forum and Agin 'Em The Herald holds hat freedom of expression la the most Important right of a free people.

This beautiful location, ths.hub of the fruit industry of the State of Utah, has a population popula-tion larger than several cities of Utah county and nearly as many people as Lehi, American Fork, Pleasant Grove, 'and Paysoru All the cities of Utah county, some with considerable less people, and others with a few hundred more than Orem, have their own burial parks. I think that one of the first moves that Orem should make, would be to purchase property prop-erty in the city of Orem for this worthy purpose. There are num erous splendid sites out at Orem for this project. It would not be necessary to buy land along-the highway for this purpose, where the property of course is a higher price, but go east or west of the highway and a site for a burial park could be purchased for a rea sonable price. True, most of the older families and maybe some of the new ones, own burial lots in the Provo cemetery and of course will continue to do so, which is right and proper. Also, true, there is still room in the Provo Burial park for a great many more of our honored dead, but never-the-less, the lots are nearly all taken up, with the exception of the recent re-cent new addition. I notice also that some of the walks are being sold for burial purposes. All honor to Orem in her new advancement and I think that the broadminded people of our new city, should consider this very impressive im-pressive project, and not be the only city in the state of Utah without a burial park.

I couldn't help wondering how the young mother felt as she looked look-ed at her baby, born in the terror of an air raid. Did the fact that it was a little girl give her any comfort? Or did she wonder if her daughter would have to continue con-tinue to live In a world as terrifying terri-fying as it was at the hour of her birth? I m sure of one thing, there must have been a prayer in the hearts of that mother and that Rxandmother for the dawn of a different world. Editor Herald: 1 In answer to Mayor -Mark Anderson's ravings, about squatters squat-ters at Utah lake, let me remind the people of Provo and Utah valley val-ley that the ground I hold at and around the airport on West Drive is backed by a title from the Supreme Su-preme Court of the United States in 1894. two years before statehood. state-hood. In this decision after describing des-cribing 148 acres of land below the 1856 meander line, it states "The said lands above -stated are the said plaintiff's riparian boundaries boun-daries on said Utah lake and the said plaintiffs (Andrew and Herman Her-man Knudsen) are the owners in fee of all lands lying between said boundaries or lines above described describ-ed and the main body of Utah Lake whether the same are lands acretions or or relictions and it is further ordered adjudged and decreed that a certified copy of this decree after it has become operative and final, be taken by the said plaintiffs and recorded in the office of the county recorder re-corder of Utah county, and the same shall stand as their muniment muni-ment of pi-oof of the title of the lands and premises herein decreed to belong to them." Mayor Anderson says our titles are based upon a false title to start with. You people be the judge if this is a false title. After receiving this title the powers that he platted the ground, assessed it, and on all of the ground that I claim myself Imd my predecessors in interest have paid taxes to the city, county and state for 47 years, and that is not all, some of the ground under this decree was purchased pur-chased from Provo City in 1901 and 1902 who have always recognized recog-nized our claim to it. People of Provo and Utah county coun-ty what do you think ? Who do you think owns this ground?

From The Files Of THE PROVO HERALD 3larch 2, 1916 The Brigham Young university basketeers downed the B. Y. C. by a score of 35-34, despite the absence of several main-stringers from the line-up. Raile was the only regular playing the whole game. Ralph Eggertsen played only part of the game due to a sprained ankle, and two other regulars had been ruled out for the rest of the season by the facul ty due to their breaking- training train-ing rules on a trip to Logan. Henry Jones, pride of Provo, threw George Nicholson, the Greek welterweight champion of the United States, in straight falls in a wrestling match here. Nicholson claimed he was in poor condition and asked for a return match which Jones said he would grant provided the match would be for the silver cup held by the Greek. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Rafael F. Crandall. B. Y. U. debating teams were scheduled to meet University of Utah and Utah State. Ralston Irvine and LeDm Jensen were slated to meet the Aggies, while Luther Eggertsen, Martin Morten-son Morten-son and Eugene Hilton were to paiticipate against the "U". Strict enforcement of the dog tax ordinance, appointment of a sanitary inspector ,and provisions provi-sions for removal of garbage were recommendations of C. Frank Emery Em-ery of the state board of health who met with the Provo city commission. - MINING COMPANY ELECTS SPANISH FORK Harry Christensen was elected president of the Beaver Creek Mining company com-pany at a recent meeting of the stockholders held at Provo. Other officers elected Emil Ostlund of Springville vice-president; William C. Beckstrom of Spanish Fork,-secretary Fork,-secretary and treasurer; Ilyrum F. Thomas of Provo, honorary secretary; sec-retary; W. WxErcanbrack, of Provo; Pro-vo; Henry A. Gardner of Spanish Fork, J.

Provo i3 the main place of business, President Christensen Chris-tensen of Spanish Fork states. Harold S. Walker, of Pleasant Grove. Mrs. Walker has been in the writing -game for 15 years, though she is etill a young woman. Her first story sold to LApiEd HOME JOURNEY! Her second one to the Relief Society Magazine, Maga-zine, of her own state. Since that time she has concentrated on newspaper work, having been reporter re-porter tor the Salt Lake Telegram and for the Deseret News. She is news editor of the Pleasant Grove Review. But newspaper-work is not Mrs. Walker's first-love, nor her chief interest. She writes everything, paints everything and calls herself her-self an interior decorator. That's a catalogue of hobbies worth adopting if you're versatile enough And Mrs. Waixer certainly is Going Go-ing a good job on all of them. She is in demand as a public reader read-er and always writes her own monologues, skits, etc. She has had feature articles taken up by papers from Baltimore to Texas, after first appearing in the Telegram Tele-gram and in Utah farm papers. One of these, telling how a Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove man came to be ninety years old, attributed to his positive posi-tive statement that his longevity was due to his eating three eggs a day every day since he can remember, re-member, is now a stock article in poultry magazines throughout many parts of the United Slates. Another told how a Pleasant Grove family beat the depression. That one was taken up by a syndicate syn-dicate and appeared in their chain of papers in widely separated regions re-gions of the country. This sounds big, but unfortunately unfortu-nately it hasn't helped the author in any way, unless it be in per sonal saustacuon. Ana one doesn't survive long on that. That's why Mrs. Walker wants to become affiliated with a writer's organization to learn how to obtain ob-tain her imprint rights from such publications as may in the future ask permisson to use her articles. It's a game that can't be played alone, to win. Recognized writer's organizations can and do demand payment for Imprints and first rights to all manuscripts that are not released to publishers "without "with-out pay." Mrs. Walker was educated at Brigham Young university and the University of Utah, having been graduated from the latter in 1918, with a major in art and a minor in English and public speaking. She is the mother of three children, chil-dren, the .oldest of whom, a daughter, is a student at Brigham Brig-ham Young university and a clever writer as well as her mother.

KENT STEPS IN CHAPTER XIX WTTHAT'S her," Winkle said. "Sorry," the constable cut in, "have to serve a warrant on you." With that, hm pressed a folded document into April's hands. April had presence of mind enough to shut the front door behind be-hind her. She had on her fur Jacket In readiness for Hal's arrival ar-rival but even In it, she began to shake with cold and fright. "What's wrong?" she managed to stutter. "I'm a-suing you tor personal Injuries, Winkie drew out the phrase pleasurably. "Yes," he went on, "guess you ain't forgotten the night you knocked me down when vqu was taking Misler Kent Carter to the Pattonsvilla railroad U-tion." U-tion." April leaned against the door. She'd never told tnyone that she had taken Kent to the train that right. She'd never mentioned the run-in with Winkle. Now with this document in her hand, she felt as if her doom had been handed to her, signed, sealed and delivered. If Ann knew, she would start being suspicious all over again about her, April, and Kent. When Dad found out, he would be shocked. It was going to hurt him in his professional standing going to hurt everyone. "You can't do this, Winkie Ap-pleman," Ap-pleman," she whispered. "You know I settled with you. "Settled!" Winkle 'snorted. "Think you can injure a man, maybe permanently, and settle it on the spot for a few dollars?" The ' constable's eyes shifted around, came back to her. "That's not all," he said. "Got to charge you with failure to report an accident ac-cident Pretty strong laws about that in this state." Winkie said, "I was hurt so btd that night, I didn't know what I was doing. I wanted to call an officer but you wouldn't let me." April turned around, saw that the frontdoor was shut securely. Inside,- the living room lamps were lighted but out here on the porch there was only the dim bulb overhead. No one in the family had seen her yet but she didn't dare chance it further. She motioned Winkie and the constable down te steps. At any minute Hal would be here and know how to help her. She stopped in front of the constable's con-stable's car, her spirits lifting In a quick spurt of defiance. "You can't prove anything, Winkle Appleman," she said. "This is no better than a hold-up and you can't prove a thing!" r "Oh, can't I?" Winkie sneered and twisted 'the shapeless brim of his hat. "I guess mebbe the check would speak for itself." 'T,HE check! What had been a blur of pain and horror to her that night in the Pattonsville railroad rail-road station, started to clarify. She had opened her purse and handed a few bills and tome change at Winkie. He'd whined for more. She had remembered her check book and how with a numb, shaky hand had written a check. "Make it $10,- Winkie had said, "and I won't say nothing." April saw it alL Winkie, unscrupulous un-scrupulous no-account that he might be, was legally within his' rights. "Very well," she said finally, "what am I supposed to do." She heard the constable .speak of posting bond, of appearing for a preliminary hearing. "What you waiting for?" the constable asked. "Why don't you come along with me now and get booked at the station without any fuss." An upstairs window in the Burnett Bur-nett house opened. Through it into the crystal air, came a strain of song from Ann. At this minute, min-ute, Ann was dressing for her date with Kent. Ana's wedding day would be soon. "Yes, I'll go vrlh you just as soon as a friend of rnino arrives," she said. "I'll go without sny fuss. There's only one thing I ask. Does anyone have to know of this? Du my father? You see," and she spoke very humbly, "we're going to have a wedding in our house and the fuss, the notoriety would spoil everything." Again, through the window, she heard Ann's lovely voice, lifting in silver notes of happiness, April closed her, eyes briefly. Winkie was speaking from the corner of his mouth. "Trying to keep it on the sly a little longer." April shuddered and then opened her eyes quickly. A clear, masculine voice ., was saying "Keep what on the sly?" Only one voice was like tl at Not Dad, not Hal Kent Carter! "I asked 'keep what on the sly?" Kent was repeating and in someway had come to stand by April, one hand steadying her. '"FHE constable was ruined. A "Served a warrant on Miss Ethel Burnett here," he said. "Failing "Fail-ing to report an accident damage suit." Kent took the paper- from April's hand. "Well see about it," he said. "I happened to have been a witness to this so-called accident" acci-dent" Winkie was whining. "You're the fella that punched me in the face. Yep, knocked an old man down when he'd already been run over. I know you Kent Carter. Miss Ann's fella." ' April felt Kent's fist double under her hand. "Please," she whispered and her face was close to his. This was the ftst time she had seen him since he had returned, his sight restored. This was the first .time she had been near him. She felt a headiness, a surge of joy sweeping her. For one absurd minute it seemed as if the hateful warrant, the shaming encounter with Winkie Appleman had been predestined for only one purpose -to bring her back to Kent Then she remembered Ann. Ann was in the Burnett house, safe, unsuspecting. April pushed Kent aside. "Wait a minute," she began breathlessly,' "I've got something to tell you all. IH take the blame for this. It was my fault I can see it through alone." For the first time, she faced Kent squarely. She saw the beloved be-loved face, the eyes, clear now without the shadow cf the dark glasses. "You, Kent," and she managed to make her voice hard and brittle, "you stay out of it". She hadn't heard the doer open or any sound on the steps. But something made her turn. Ann was standing there, pale, fragile as a moonbeam. She looked first at April and then at Kent "Whatever is the matter?" sho asked. (T Continued). |
