Armed with the necessary

rot had got the answers to his
questions. They were very definite.
The house was a total wreck. The
site had been cleared only quite
recently in preparation for re-
building. There had been no sur-
vivors except for David Hunter
and Mrs. Cloade. There had been
three servants in the house, Fred-
erick Game, Elizabeth Game and
Eileen Corrigan. All three had been
killed instantly. Gordon Cloade

The American Public Welfare Association reports that
•very state now has workmen’s compensation laws to pro-
vide financial protection for workers against employment ac-
cidents. This is a far cry from the days when injury or death
at work left the worker and his family to shift for them-
selves.
There is variance among the states as to the method of
providing funds to be used in paying compensation, and in
the extent of the individual employer’s liability. All place
some share of the flnindal burden on the employer, usually
fii some direct proportion to the risks and accident record of
the specific plant.
One result of the adoption of workmen's compensation
plans has been an added degree of security for the worker.
Another has been improved safety devices and practices to
reduce the hazards of employment. There was a time when
the safety of the worker was his own individual concern;
today it is a primary concern of industrial and business
management. '

New failure to agree on the structure of a United Na-

door of a new house, because of inability to decide whet hr i

WASHINGTON. Sept- 3—(UP)
-AFL National Farm Labor Un-
ion has demanded that the im-
port of Mexican farm labor stop
immediately.
Union President H. L. Mitchell
jaiticularly criticized arrange-
ments made by the United ShUfcS
md Mexico governments aag
grower groups to bring into this
:ountry some 5,000 Mexicans to
help harvest the 1M8 cotton crop
He described the arrangements at
‘one more brazen step in the
campaign to depress wage and liv-
ing standards in agricolite in our
country."
Mitchell contends there already
are enough farm workers in'
United States.
The net gain is greater physical and economic safety
for the worker. And industry is finding that the worker gen-
erally is a better producer because of his added peace ot
mind. •

The World Council is a larger organization based- on the
experiences of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in
America. The latter group has presented a striking demon-
stration of the extent to which the differing creeds within
the broad structure Qf the Christian Church can be drawn
together for co-operative work.
The understandings reached in the course of the opera-
tions of the Federal Council doubtless have “ contributed
gpefttly to the several important church mergers which have
been undertaken in this country in recent years. The coun-
cil has been a constructive force tending to bring church
groups closer together.
That force, expanded so that it reaches across interna-
tional boundary lines, can be of great service to unity ant
understanding in the world.

“There were three servants in

“Three servants who died the

as I know there was no safe in

Gordon kept all valuable papers

certainly no will there.”
“But one might make inquir-
ies?” Poirot w\s persistent.
“From the A. R. P. officials, for
instance? You would authorize me
to do that?” t
“Oh certainly—certainly. Very
kind of you to offer Io undertake
such a thing. But I haven't any
belief whatever, I'm afraid, in
your success. Still, Well, it i^ an
offchance, I suppose. You—you'll
be going back to London at once,
then?”
Poirot’s eyes narrowed. Jeremy’s
tone had been unmistakably eager.

they all want him out of the
way?
Before he could answer, the door
opened and Frances Qloade canie
in.
Poirot was struck by two things.
First, by the fact that she looked
shockingly ill. Secondly by her
very strong resemblance to the
photograph of her father.
“M. Hercule Poirot has come to
see us, my dear,” said Jeremy,
rather unnecessarily.
She shook hands with him and
Jeremy Cloade immediately out-
lined to her Poirot s suggestion
about a will.
Frances looked doubtful.
“It seems a very outside
chance."

The 1948 report of the National Safety Council show?
that very young automobile drivers, those below 20 years of
^e, continue to account for much more than their fair share
of traffic accidents.
Partly this is because they Lack the maturity of judg-
ment and outlook, for normal driving conditions as well
*»r the unusual situation and the emergency, which will be
theirs a few years later. Not all persons who drive have at-
tained that-maturity by the time they" are 20 or so.
But partly also it is because young drivers too frequent-
ly take to the road without adequate preparation. Learn-
ing to chive is more than learning to steer and to manipu-
late the levers and pedals. There is needed also an ap-
preciation of traffic movements, the capabilities and limita-
tions of the automobile, the effects of weather and roac
conditions, and many other factors. We are in the habit ol
thinking these things can be learned only by experience,
lluch can and should be taught to the youthful driver be-
fore his first “solo” trip.
Public high schools which h^ve begun to teach driving
tp older students have found excellent results from such
programs. As long as youthful drivers continue to con-
tribute heavily to the accident toll there will be increasing

without recovering consciousness.
Poirot took the names and ad-
dresses of the three servants’ next
of kin. “It is possible," he said,
“that they may have spoken to
their friends something in the way
of gossip or comment that might
give me a pointed to some infor-
mation I badly need.”
The official to whom he was
speaking looked skeptical. The
Games had come from Dorset, Ei-
leen Corrigan from County Cork.
Poirot next beat his steps to-
wards Major Porter’s rooms. He
remembered Porter’s statement
that he himself was a Warden and
he wondered whether he had hap-
pened to be on duty on that par-
ticular night and whether he had
seen anything of the incident In
Sheffield Terrace.
He had, besides, other reasons
for wanting a word with Major
Porter.
As he turned the corner of Edge
Street he was startled to see a
policeman in uniform standing out-
side the particular house for which
he was making.
The constable Intercepted Poi-
rot’s advance.
“Can’t go in here, sir,” he said.
“What has happened?”
“You don’t live in the house, do
you, sir?” Poirot shook his head.
“Who was it you were wishing to
see?”
“I wished to see Major Footer."
“You a friend of his, sir?”
“No, I should not describe my-
self as a friend. What has hap-
pened?”
“Gentleman has shot himself, I
understand. Ah, here’s the Inspec-
tor.”
The door had opened and two
figures came out. One was the
local Inspector, the other Poirot
recognized as Sergeant Graves
from Warmsley Vale. The latter
recognized him and promptly made
him known to the Inspector.
“Better come inside,” said the
latter.
The three re-entered fehe house.
"They telephoned through to
Warmsley Vale,” Graves explained.
“And Superintendent Spence sent
me up.”
"Suicide?”
The Inspector answered.
"Yes. Seems a clear case. Don’t
know whether having to give evi-
dence at the Inquest yesterday
preyed upon his mind. People are
ftmny that way sometimes, but I
gather he's been depressed lately.
Financial difficulties and one thing
and another. Shot himself'with his
own revolver.”
Poirot asked:
"Is it permitted that I go up?"
"If you like, M. Poirot. Take
M. Poirot up, Sergeant.”
^Yes, sir.”
Graves led the way up to the
first floor room^It was much as
Poirot re membered it, the dim
colors' xif the'old rugs, the books.
Major Porter was in the big arm-
chair; His -attitude was almost
natural, just the head slumped
forward. His right arm hung down
at his side —below it, on the rug,
lay the revolver.' There was still
a very faint smell of acrid gun-
powder in the air. z

PREFER LESSER HAZARD
THROUGHOUT ims game of
contract bridge you have to take
risks of one kind or another. If
other factors were always equal,
the winner would be the player
who managed to take the lesser
risks in preference to the greater
ones. That fundamental applies
forcibly to situations confronting
the opening leader. If every suit
to be considered is topped by
honors not in sequence, there is
some danger in leading it that a
trick-taker will thereby be jeop-
ardized. If the choice is between
two or more such suits, it usually
pays ip uflderlead the lower hon-
or. since Lt is less likely to be a
triek-winnej anyway and hence
not so much is y^opardized.

district," said Poirot.
A curious expression passed
over Mrs. CloadeLs face. Slit said:
"Who is Major Porter?”
Poirot shrugged his shoulders.
"A retired Army Officer, living
on his pension.”
"He really was in Africa?”
Poirot looked at her curiously.
"Certainly, Madame. Why not?"
She said almost absently, "I
don’t know. He puzzles me.”
“Yes, Mrs. Cloade,” said Poirot,
“I can understand that.”
She looked sharply at him. An
expression almost of fear came
into her eyes.
Turhing to her husband, she
said:
“Jeremy, I really feel very dis-
tressed about Rosaleen. She is all
alone at Furrowbank and she
must be frightfully upset over
Davud’s arrest. Would you object
if I asked her to come here and
stay?”
"Do you really think that is
advisable, my dear?” Jeremy
sounded doubtful.
"Oh—advisable? I don’t know!
But one is human. She is such a
helpless creature.”
"I rather doubt if she will ac-
cept”
^“1 can at any rate make the
offer.”
The lawyer said quietly: “Do so
if it will make you feel happier."
"Happier?”
The word came out with a
strange bitterness. Then she gave
quick doubtful glance at Poirot.
Poirot murmured formally:
“I will take my leave now.”
She followed him into the hall.
“You are going up to London?"
"I shall go up tomorrow, but
for twenty-four hours at most.
And then I return to the Stag—
where you will find me, Madame,
if you want me." A
She demanded sharply:
“Why should I want you?"
Poirot did not reply to the ques-
tion, merely said:
“I shall be at the Stag.”
Later that night out of the dark-
ness Frances Cloade spoke to her
husband.
"I don't 'believe that man is
going to London for the reason he
said. I don’t believe al) that alxvut
Gordon’^ having made a will. Do

"No, prances. N07--he's going
