SLAYE --- VOLUME III No.32 JUMPING FROM PARACHUTE IS NOT EASY JOB Colored Stunt Performer Says He Never Fails To Get Thrill Jumping from an air plane into unlimited space is an experience from which a man never fails to get a thrill, according to George Woods, colored, a parachute jumper at the Beacon airport, 63rd and Broadway. "You virtually take your life into your own hands," Woods said in telling a reporter for the Gary American how he first learned to jump from an airplane in a parachute. Asked if he ever got used to it to the extent that he never felt uneasy, Woods declared that he always felt a little scared when making the jump. "You can never tell," he answered the reporter. "Something is likely to slip at any moment. You just have to go 'head and figure that if the parachute opens everything will be all right, but that if it doesn't open everything will be all right, you won't know what happened to you when you crash to the ground." Learned By Accident Learning to jump from an airplane in a parachute Woods said, was purely an accident. He was working at the time at a Detroit flying school when the head of the school came to him and told that everyone at the school had to take a parachute jump in order to be initiated. "When I was told that," Woods said, I got real scared. I felt that would be the end for me. But I went and made the jump all right, and have been jumping from airplanes ever since then." Risky Business But there are no end to the dangers, Woods explained, in jumping from the plane. "In climbing from the cock-pit to the outer edge of the wings," Woods stated, "you you have to be careful not to lose your balance. "Any slip of your hand or feet may send you hurtling into space, and if you don't find the loose cord to open up the parachute, you're just gone, that's all." Asked if aviation offered many opportunities to young colored men and women, Woods stated that he knew of few other things in the world which offered so many opportunities as aviation. "More of our people should learn to fly and become licensed pilots serving in the commercial and government service of the nation. Big salaries are being paid to aviators and those who know how to fly," he stated. Woods is a native of Savannah, Georgia, but has lived in Detroit most of his life. He is taking a course in aviation and expects to secure a license upon completion of the work. Take It Or Leave It What peculiar incidents do you know about?

WHITE EDITORS ARGUE MERITS OF N.A.A.C.P. Nordic Editorial Views Laud and Criticize National Ass'n. NEW YORK—Widespread editorial comment extending from coast to coast throughout the country is greeting the achievements of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Clippings reaching the National office, 69 Fifth Avenue, reveal that the N. A. A. C. P. has its staunch champions and defenders among white editors, as well as its violent critics, the latter chiefly in the south. The Everett, Washington, Herald, one of the leading dailies on the Pacific Coast sharply defends the N. A. A. C. P. for its encouragement of the protest against segregation by Negro Gold Star Mothers on the pilgrimage to European war graves. The Herald joins issue with the Columbia Record which devoted two editorials to condemning the N. A. A. C. P. because of the War Mothers and the Judge Parker episodes, and concludes its editorial as follows: "The Record and the News and Courier to the contrary notwithstanding, self-respecting Negroes the country over and white people who are free in spirit and in truth; stand back of the aNtional Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its fight against inconsistency and assure the Colored Gold Star Mothers, who place a race's honor above self-gratification that their actions speak louder as a vindication of their sons, martyrdom for democracy than anything else they might have done. Long live Heywood Broun! Long live Walter White! Long live the N. A. A. C. P.! Long live Negroes who won't give up! Don't pity the Gold Star Mothers; all honor to their abnegation." TENNIS STARS TO PLAY HERE Edgar Brown of Chicago, national men's singles tennis champion will play an exhibition game at the Stewart house at 5 p. m. today; his opponent will be either Alvin Jackson, basket ball star of Froebel high, or Dr. Leroy Bingham, prominent dentist of this city, Miss Washington, national women's tennis champion will also play against a local tennis star. Mr. Brown, who won the championship from Ted Thompson more than three years ago, and Miss Washington are being brought to Gary by Dr. Leroy Bingham, prominent local tennis enthusiast. MASS MEETING PROTESTS GARY SCHOOL PLANS Charge Students Will Be Segregated In New Roosevelt High At a public mass-meeting called at First Baptist church, on Monday evening, by the Rev. Charles E. Hawkins and Attorney F. L. Anderson, a resolution was adopted, to be sent to the superintendent of the board of education, protesting an assumed report of the proposed segregation of races in the Gary public schools. The action was based on the report that with the completion of Roosevelt High School, it will be maintained by the Board of Education for the use of Negro children only. A faction, led by William A. Lorden and Charles L. James, bitterly opposed the adoption of the resolution. It was their contention that with the establishment of a school for both white and colored students it would tend to destroy the "race consciousness" of the Negro children. They also contended that the mass meeting was not in the interest of the Negroes of Gary as a whole, but was to foster a "pet idea" of Rev. Hawkins. After numerous charges and counter-charges, the resolution was passed to send to the Superintendent of the Board of Education. Persons taking an active part in addressing the meeting were: Rev. Charles E. Hawkins, Attorney F. L. Anderson, Rev. Charles W. Neloms, Charles L. James, William A. Lorden and Alderman Wilbur Hardaway. POLICE DRAG-NET Fails to Support Wife Allen Jackson, 1649 Monroe, was arrested Thursday, on complaint of his wife, because of failure to support wife and child. His case was suspended for one week.

But in the trial before the Gary board of safety, Harrington was absolved of all blame for the shooting. AND WHALE S REV. RAY COON STORY OF JONAH AND WHALE TRUE, SAYS REV. RAY COON --- With more than half the process of completing the building remaining to be performed, The Gary American moved last Saturday night from its old location at East Nineteenth avenue into its new $25,000 home at 1819 Washington street. The removal was accomplished after last week's paper had been printed and delivered to its readers and subscribers and was completed in record breaking time. Members of the staff of the newspaper, working under the supervision of the moving and transfer company, assisted in affecting the removal in a short time, and by Monday morning the lay out of the office had been accomplished, and the newspaper was ready to continue to do business. In its new home, which will probably be completed sometime in July or August, The American can boast of having the largest office and plant of any weekly newspaper in Indiana. The building is 100 feet wide and 75 feet deep with two floors. Ample provision has been made in The American's new home for adequate space for every department of the newspaper, including the business office, editorial department, advertising department and composing rooms. Private offices for the paper's executives have also been provided. (Continued on Page Three) Whether the whale swallowed Jonah is a problem that Gary folks will have a chance to solve during the ensuing week, for a 60ton embalmed whale will be on display after 7 p.m. tonight at the Wabash crossing on Broadway. The whale is on specially constructed car and facilities for a thorough inspection will be provided. It is being displayed by the Pacific Whaling company of Long Beach Calif. The huge mammal, according to John B. Wheeler, official of the company who is accompanying the exhibit was caught in July, 1929, off the coast of San Clemente island near the peninsula of Southern California. Three thousand gallons of embalming fluid, the equivalent of 60 barrels, were used in embalming it. Wheeler denies the Biblical story, saying Jonah could not have been swallowed by the whale. He declared the whale's throat is about the size of a grapefruit, but suggested Gary people see for themselves. Jonah On Wednesday, June 11th, The Gary Post-Tribune printed a statement that John B. Wheeler, an official of the Pacific Whaling company of Long Beach, Calif., who i Officer Frank Harrington was exonerated by the Gary safety board on Wednesday night on the charge of shooting and wounding Randolph Corbin, 17 years old, with out cause. The board ruled that Harrington was justified in firing on Corbin, after hearing witnesses for and against the officer. "I see that you've given up teaching your wife to drive." "Yes, we had an accident." "What happened? "I told her to release her clutch, and she let go of the steering wheel." In 1920 nobody lived in Walnut Park, Calif. In fact, there wasn't any such place. Today the census supervisor reported the population as 8553 persons. at present displaying an embalmed whale in our city, denies the biblical story of Jonah and the whale. I herewith challenge Mr. Wheeler to prove that there is a single statement in the entire book of Jonah that is not true. The judges to be any five men selected by Mayor R. O. Johnson. Strange as it may seem, the word "whale" is not even mentioned in the book of Jonah. The records says "a great fish." Furthermore, there is at present in the National Museum at Washington, D. C. an embalmed fish 45 feet long, 33 feet in circumference and more than 8 feet in diameter, with two dummy men placed in its throat. It was captured off the coast of Florida. Its eyes are very small, indicating that it is a deep sea fish. Its bones when captured were slightly flexible, proving that it was only a baby. If a "baby" could swallow two men what could papa and mamma do? Ray Coon, 130 Marshal St., Gary, Ind. Jonah and the Whale On June 11th the Post-Tribune published a statement by John B. Wheeler that he denied the story of Jonah and the whale on the ground that a whale's throat was not large enough to swallow a man and displays his whale at the Wabash (Continued on Page Four) The social and recreational program of the Stewart House, under the direction of Dr. F.

INDIANA ROAD CONSTRUCTION NOW STARTED Thousands To Be Spent On Roads Before Fall Season INDIANAPOLIS, IND. The Indiana highway department has begun oiling its gravel highways, and motorists are advised to drive slowly over the freshly oiled surfaces for at least ten days, in order to avoid splashing their cars with lubricant and as a means of preventing skidding, according to the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor Club. Due to widening operations and other improvements now in progress in the Chicago metropolitan area, a number of detours are reported on motor thoroughfares in and near Chicago during this weekend, but in virtually all cases the substitute routes are carefully marked. The Chicago-Springfield-Jacksonville-Pittsfield-Louisiana- Columbia short route to Kansas City will soon be an all-weather road. Although not paved, tourists will be able to follow this route and not encounter any difficulty. At the present time it is paved from Chicago to Pittsfield, Illinois, under construction for 1 mile from Pittsfield to Pike. Rapid progress is being made on this gap, and it is understood that about July 4 this detour will be reduced from 18 miles to 8 miles. The road from Pike to Louisiana is paved; Louisiana to Bowling Green, paved; grovel from Bowling Green to Mexico, with the exception of approximately 5 miles from Vandalia, Mo., north, which is paved; Mexico to the intersection of US 40 paved an open, and from mthis intersection west to Kansas City US 40 is all paved. All entrances to Yellowstone park and all facilities in the park are now open for the season. The motor cub has received word from the superintendent of Glacier national park to the effect that Roosevelt highway, between the Belton and Glacier park station, will be completed July 1 and that it will be in good condition, except for short stretches which will be rough but passable.

Curtis, a prominent Negro physician of this city, early in March, has been adjudged insane and will be committed to the hospital for the criminally insane at the Michigan City state prison. When the tragedy happened, it aroused the ire of numerous persons in the community and throughout the state, because of the first defense that Dimbinski offered. He stated at the time of his arrest that he had killed the physician while in a compromising position with Mrs. Dimbinski, he having discovered them together on his return from work. It was also said that Dr. Curtis had been attending Mrs. Dimbinski for a female ailment, and that her husband had suspicioned clandestine meetings between them. After persistent questioning by the police authorities, Dimbinski later confessed that he had killed Dr. Curtis after the doctor had refused to perform an illegal operation on Mrs. Dimbinski. It developed that Dr. Curtis had been the Dimbinski physician, and had been called in this planned abortion case. After his refusal to become implicated in it in any way, Dimbinski killed the physician and then Mrs. Dimbinski. In an attempt to escape himself of the crime he placed Curtis' body in bed with him and then called the police.

URDAM LEAGUE AS{SMOMAN PRES INE BROOKLYN, N. Y.—At the an- aual conference of the National Ur- oan league held in Buffalo, N. Y., Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the fed. ral children’s bureau was endorsed tor appointment by President Hoo- ver to the post of secretary of lab- or. The recommendation says: “Miss Abbott's efficient and hum- anitarian service in the Children’s Bureau, and her intimate know- Miedge of the problems facing both management and labor make her a most capably-fitted person for this ‘important post.” Among other recommendations ot the conference were: 1. That since domestic service is going to continue to be the major cccupation for the masses of em- ployed Negro women, and, that while efforts are being made to seek new opportunities for Negro workers, due attention must be paid to the field of household employ- ment; that so long as the mistress- servant relationship continues this improvement will not be possible. The remedy lies in elevating this relationship to that of employer and employee. The present tendency of domestic workers to refuse posi tions necessitating their “living in” is a move toward improvement. 2. That more attention should be given the ever growing problega of Negro labor in the South. There, where more effort is exerted with smaller immediate results, is a great need for the development of plans where this work might be carried on more effectively. 3. The problem of vocational guidance, training and placement is one of the most pertinent ones fac- ing the Negro population today. The committee reported that “There is a deplorable lack of in- telligent guidance and trained guid- ance workers, there are few op- portunities for training—and there are fewer opportunities for placing the young Negro worker.” The na- tional office of the Urban League will study vocational guidance and placement procedure for Negro youth in public educational institu- tions during the coming year. As a general statement regarding the position of the Negro worker the conference stated that “The Negro, by losing his traditional em- ployment finds himself becoming an integral part of the American labor scheme. Since competition has crossed racial lines, the Negro mow be prepared to meet new nas Increased activity a- | Lork’s | | 4 Confectionery : 4 Ice Cream, Fruits 4 Sandy and Cold Drinks , 4 2500 Adams Street & 4 ©.

The Question What do you think of the Gary school system? Answers C. W. Anderson, pot mill worker, 1700 Washington street, “I betieve Gary has as good a school system as any city, but I do not approve of segregation in the schools.” Mrs. Gould, housewife, 2212 Ma- dison street, “It is alright, I have two children in the Roosevelt school and they seem to be progressing in their studies wonderfully, I con't understand why Rev. Hawkins has had a resolution drawn up to pro- test against the present system.” Mrs. Turner, restaurant owner, 1700 Washington street,I think its fine, you know Mr. Reporter, that colored teachers are going to take more interest in our children than white teachers.” Mr, Freeney, insurance ageut, 1801 Washington street, “I rather think they have a good syscem. 1 haven't been here very long, but I understand they have night, Sat- urday and summer schools. 1 do not believe in the segregation that they practice here. Mrs. Sam Ella Suggs, clerk Ven- us Shoppe, “It is recognized as the best in the country.

Fifield, Secretary ot State, insists that his corps of am- ployees shall exert every effort to de fully prepared to promptly meet every demand made upon the de- paren. ¢ 1931 automobile license plates are now being manufactured at the factory at Michigan City and distri- bution to the 122 stktion in the state is now going on and will con- tinue until every county in the state is supplied. In making the distribution an estimate must be made of the number of plates re- quired and many problems must he solved before this can be done. It is estimated that about 35,000 cars will he junked during the year in addition to a natural increase in the number of new cars sold. Owing to the increased construction of mileage of state paved roads an in- creased demand is created for more cars and more automobile licenses will be issued in 1931 than ever before in Indiana. Mr. Fifield anticipates an increas- ed business for 1931 and is prepar- ing to meet every emergency.

That electricity is of greater value to agriculture than any other single agency, is almost axiomatic. Every year on our farms about 30,000,000,000 man-hours of work are required for every 16,000,000,000 horse-powers delivered by animals and mechanisms. According to the study, the farm power plant is divided into about 24,612,000 units animal and machine because of the scattered jobs the farmer must accomplish. Average capacity per unit is only a trifle more than two horsepower and, despite its enormous aggregate of different kinds of power, farming still requires two man-hours of labor for every horsepower of work delivered by its animals and machines. Farm electrification is changing all of this. It permits of greater and cheaper production with less human and animal labor. Electricity is one of the cornerstones on which the agricultural foundation of the future is being erected.

Fine work has been; still finer and more complete every school in America should go that will enable them to safely life. One of the few bright spots in the traffic situation is the condition respecting children says a report of the Third Annual Conference on Street and Highway Safety. At a time when the accident toll among adults is constantly rising the nation's children are demonstrating that they have the intelligence stamina and capacity for understanding the laws of safety that enables them to accommodate themselves to the conditions of a more hazardous world. Six years ago, it is said, the value of teaching safety in the schools was problematical. Today it has been established beyond doubt that such teaching is a tremendous influence in the preservation of life. According to statistics issued by the Bureau of the Census if accidental fatalities to children had increased during the last seven years at the same rate as accidental fatalities to adults, there would have been over 3,000 children killed in traffics last year and, 3,000 more killed in other accidents, who are now living. Figures covering the last three years show a large increase in motor fatalities for adults,a smaller increase for children of pre-school age and a very important decrease for children of school age. This does not mean that we have solved the problem of accidents to children. Fine work has been done and is being done; still finer and more complete work should be done. Every school in America should give its pupils the teaching that will enable them to safely meet the hazards of daily life.

The Journal points out that if the anti-pistol agitators had their way such burglars would have their way, as well, and says: "For the honest citizen would neither break the law nor pay the extortionate price demanded to possess himself of a bootlegged pistol where as the crook, already engaged in law breaking cares not a whit about breaking one more statute . . . "Honest, law-abiding citizens should be permitted to have firearms in their homes and should know how to use them..Laws designed to discourage pistol ownership by such folk serve only to add to the crook's advantage." Laws which would make law-breakers out of perfectly good citizens who feel they have a right to protect themselves would give the underworld greater power over society.

Cereal SUMMER SCHOOL ATTRACTS MANY MONTGOMERY—With a banner opening enrollment of 2088 to maintain its record for the fourth successive season as the largest summer school organization for Negro teachers in the entire United States, the 1930 summer quarter of the Alabama State Teachers College was opened at Montgomery, Birmingham and Mobile on Tuesday with the opening address by President H. Councill Trenholm in which he called attention to the salient facts that the 1930 summer quarter was the 10th annual session of the work as presently organized on the sixty-day, six-days-per-week, classified basis, that it was the fourth session of the consolidated summer organization involving the official branches at Birmingham and Mobile, and that it was the first session of the recently organized four-year teachers college program in which 404 persons were enrolled during the regular year 1929-30 and in which the enrollment for this summer quarter would pass the 1600 mark for the students of collegiate classification only.

If the bowels do not move properly toxic poisons accumulate through the bowels into the blood. Therefore it is important in treating chronic or lingering disease that the bowels move regularly. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC acts as a mild soothing TONIC laxative. It thoroughly cleans every fold, tube and gland, of the entire alimentary canal, it flushes out cleans and strengthens the kidneys, carefully removes the superflous bile from the liver. Therefore it is very essential to rid the body toxins which eliminate through the pores of the body, the urine and bowels, then natures machinery is ready to do her work in a natural way, putting forth rich, red healthy blood flowing throughout the entire system, and health is restored.

"Leaflets three; let them be," is a good rule for those unfamiliar with the poisonous plant to follow, although many innocent plants will fall into this category, the bureau stated in the bulletin. "Poison ivy grows both as a trailing vine and as a shrub," the bulletin continued. "Poisoning may result from touching the plants, or articles that have come in contact with the foliage. After exposure, the hands should be thoroughly washed several times, preferably with kitchen or laundry soap. If the poisoning becomes malignant, a 5 percent solution of potassium permanganate applied locally is a good remedy. One or two teaspoons of baking soda or Epsom salt may be mixed in a cupful of water and the solution applied. Change the dressings frequently, and leave the skin exposed at night to the air. "Ivy poisoning may reveal itself within a few hours, or may not appear for five or more days after infection. Vacationists who plan an extended trip in unsettled regions will act wisely if they carry one or two remedies in their kit." Although America takes pride in terming itself the cleanest nation in the world, there are 12 million people living in our cities who have no bathrooms. And while electricity is usually regarded as a necessity as common as water, there are 2 million homes within city zones not yet wired. Looking Back Old Files of Gary American Reveal Many Interesting Things Which Happened (From June 29, 1928 Issue) The delayed decision of Judge Grant Crumpacker in the suit filed to force the re-instatement of four former Emerson high school students, is expected to be rendered soon, according to information obtained by the Gary American late today. Mayo Hale, age 20, 1313 Jefferson street, was arrested Tuesday morning and is being held in the city jal on a charge of petty larceny. It is alleged that the youth stole two suits of B. V.

They, too, would like to have some of the unbreakable kind of crockery. Yes, indeed, they would, when they pay some several thousand dollars a year because dishes will break. It is a fact that one eastern nosteiry of in- ternational repute spends more than $60,000 annually for new dishes and Glassware to replace those broken in handling. A leading Chicago hotel has to count in the budget, $35,000 to 1eplace chinaware alone. Restaurant keepers regularly charge for a 20 per cent dish breakage each year. And that charge must be paid for by the Fatron of the restaurant, hotel and eating house where crockery is used. So breaking dishes becomes some- | thing of a national pace, touch- ing the pocketbook of every man and the budget of every housewife. If it were possible to tabulate the dish- breakage losses throughout the Unit- ed States, the total would look like interest on what Europe still owes us. Every time we eat in a restaurant, or a hotel, or at home, we share in the sum total. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 28, 1930 » But cheer up, It is a fact, thanks to a group of scientists, now at the Bureau of Standards, that dishes are now growing up—they get older in service and stand harder ‘knocks without collapsing.

Book Review. B- THE BOOKER OT ee ee MAHATMA GANDHI’S IDEAS, by C. F. An- drews. The Macmillan Company, Pub- Ushers, New York City. Price $3.00. At last the truth about the views of the great Mahatma Gandhi has appeared in print. From the various and confusingly diversified newspaper accounts of this sensational leader's doctrines, one can never be sure of one’s correctness in accepting any statement of the Indian non-coopera- tive movement. However, since this new book has seen the light of day, there is no excuse for the continu- ance of any ignorance in regard to the motivating force of the present Hindu revolt. It is not difficult to see that many of Gandhi's ideas are directly trace- able to his education at English unis versities. He was trained in the com- mon law system of thinking, conse- quently in one place he states the following: “Use your own property in such a way that you hurt no one else's’ is not merely a good legal maxim, but &@ grand doctrine of life. It is the key to a proper practice of . . . Love.” This has long been a cardinal and basic principal of the traditional and and classic common law, and is characteristically much more funda- mentally English or modern than Hindu. Doubtless the average mind is ac- customed to attribute the doctrines of Gandhi to mysticism, peculiarly applicable to the Oriental point of view. But rather, one searches in vain for the mysticism, for the super- Sstition and the rigid molds that usually bind the Eastern mind. The colored people of this country should be deeply interested in the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi. Here is, indeed, a man whose daring courage outweighs in virile leadership any trifling concern he may have for his own individual safety. Welcoming the severest punishment upon him- self for the sake of the cause which he believes is right, he has defied the British to “do tneir worst” to him. He realizes the importance of unsel- fish sacrifice for the success of any j Fe, Tee TS * a WT IF ( y Hair Combed E NS pcltGrew [ea s SUR-LAY is a re N Bui hair ‘dresstae wits falta & millions use because a few == a Grope will control stubborn hate fs keep it combed all day— [a1 also-heips hair grow. “4 GA . ¢ ® SUR-LAY gives appearance [ibe i which helps bring success. = (auton e Applications At All Barber Shose, [== Per Borrie AT ORUGGISTS Poms pworthwhile purpose. | ‘The book is heartily recommended.

Collum Medicine Co, Dept. 501 Atlanta, Ga.—(adv.) Verna Nash, the remarkably and irresistibly beautiful daughter of a worthless, indignant family residing in Billy Goat Lane, Norrisburg, is eager to get out of her lowly station in life and amount to something. Her mother wants her to marry Dick Colvin, an ungainly, uncultured but honest laborer. He presses his suit but Verna refuses him again and again. Finally one night on the way back from a moving picture show, he becomes enraged at her refusal and forces her to kiss him. She screams and a rescuer leaps from the darkness and knocks Dick Colvin cold. Dick recovers and attempts to attack the stranger, Donald Baxter, a dapper gambler from the neighboring city of Kalesburg, with a knife. Baxter is irresistibly drawn to Verna and lavishes attentions upon her. Verna is all excited over him. Her evasiveness enrages him since he has always had his way with women. He paints beautiful pictures of opportunities to be had by a girl of her beauty in the large cities and offers her a job in his cabaret in Kalesburg. She agrees to take it. Dick Colvin appears and tries to prevent her from going but without avail. Now go on with the story CHAPTER THREE The Imprisonment "I heard everything you all fully, "and she's not going any "Oh, is that so!" sneered Do anything to say about it." I don't care what she says ing with you. I know who you too, she won't think of going "I heard everything you all said," shouted Dick, wrathfully, "and she's not going anywhere with you, see?" "Oh, is that so!" sneered Don, "I suppose Verna hasn't anything to say about it." "I don't care what she says," snarled Dick, "she's not going with you. I know who you are now and when she knows too, she won't think of going with you." Don's s narrowed. Verna sat speechless, transfixed, and yet she was secretly thrilled by the prospect of another battle over her. She knew it wasn't the feeling she ought to have had but she had it just the same. "You're going to get away from here as soon as you can," growled Don reaching stealthily into the pocket on the inside of the car door, "or you won't be able to get away at all. I'm tired of you country saps butting into my affairs." "Country sap, eh?" shouted Dick angrily. "Well, I'll show you." Don and Verna Escape Suddenly he leaned toward Don and raising a stout stick he carried in his right hand, started it down quickly in a vicious blow. But he was a little too slow. Before the club was half way in its course. Don snatched a wrench out of the car pocket and swung it against Dick's jaw, at the same time falling to one side to escape the swing of the club. The impact of the wrench on his jaw sent Dick spinning. Before he could recover himself Don started the car and sped away. Verna was almost swooning with excitement. It seemed as if her heart would burst out of her breast. She clasped and unclasped her hands. The rims of her eyes burned. She was a mixture of feelings; she was thrilled to have these young men fighting over her but at the same time she was a little depressed by the fact that she aroused such enmity.

She wanted to be able some time to put her family in a beautiful home, clean, immaculate and comfortable. Being young and so beautiful, she liked the attentions of young men, of course, but she felt she didn't have any time for love and marriage. Later on, perhaps, when she knew more about men and life, but not now. "Listen, Don," she said, when they were a mile or so away from the place of the encounter with Dick Colvin, "you know I cannot go away like this without saying goodbye to the folks." "Can't you write or wire them?" he asked irritably. "We've had enough trouble without going back for more." "But Don," she exclaimed in surprise. "I can't leave home without even saying goodbye to my folks! Certainly you wouldn't want me to do that." "Oh, all right," he grumbled, turning the car about. "We'll go back." Don's attitude slightly disturbed Verna. Why d'd he seem so unusually eager to get away. from Norrisburg? Why did he not want her to bid her people goodbye? She glanced up suddenly and caught him looking down at her with a sort of calculating hunger. It made a slight tremor run over her. Well, anyhow, she would take a chance. There was no way for her to win the power, wealth, and fame that she felt was her due by staying in PAS are at it! SYNOPSIS ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 28.1930 Verna Relieves the Weariness of her Exciting Journey A woman rests on a bed, her head tilted to the side as she gazes out of a window. She is dressed in a patterned dress with a plush pillow. The room is decorated with curtains and a picture frame on the wall. "When she had closed the door, Verna sank down on the beautiful bed in a state bordering on stupefaction. Had she done wrong to come here? Hadn't it been unwise to let Don talk her into coming to Kalesburg alone with him? Might there not be some understanding between him and Mrs. Quill? Funny that she should be given such a palatial room!" "When she had closed the door, Verna sank down on the beautiful bed in a state bordering on stupefaction. Had she done wrong to come here?

Funny that she should be given such a palatial room!" Norrisburg. She could only get ahead by going to some bigger place where there would be a larger field for her talents. It never occurred to Verna that she might not succeed in a big city. She was confident; sure of herself. She knew her beauty, she knew the witchery of her eyes, she was aware of her irresistible charm and her natural culture. She could dance and converse excellently. So she did "When she had closed the door, Verna Had she done wrong to come here? with him? Might there not be some not feel that there was anything to fear. Verna Defies Her Mother They drove up to the little shack in Bill. Goat Lane and got out. While the crowd of urchins stood around admiring the flashy automobile. Don and Verna entered the Nash home. Verna had felt that there would be a big quarrel about her taking a job in Kalesburg. Her mother could only see the dangerous possibilities of taking such a step, and even her father cautioned against it. Again and again Don assured them that his motives in giving Verna a position were worthy, but they viewed him with skepticism. Finally Verna could stand it no longer. They were interfering with her future. They wanted to keep her here slaving away forever. "Might just as well quit talking, Mom," she said. "I intend to get somewhere in this world and I can only do it by getting away from here. So I am going whether you like it or not." Wit: that she switched out of the room, made up a package of her things and walked out to the car followed by Don. She was almost at the point of breakdown because of the ordeal but he was tickled to death. He admired her spirit and as he looked down at her beside him in the car, he thought he wanted her more than anything else in the world. Don was about to start the car and be off when a ragged old woman with seamy brown face came to the automobile and placed her hand on the door. looking up at Verna. It was Grandma Nash. who enjoyed a great reputation as a conjure woman in Billy Goat Lane. "Goodbye Granny." said Verna, leaning over and kissing her. "I'm going away now." "Be keerful. child. be keerful," whined the old woman. "The city is a bad place. There are all kinds of dangers there. You'll need protection. child somebody to look out after you. to keep you out of harm's way." "Oh. that's all right. Granny." in- terrupted Don. indulgently, "I'll look out for her; she's going to work for me, so everything's all right." The old lady fixed her cold, piercing gaze on the dapper young fellow and seemed to bore him through and through. Then turning to Verna again she said: "Gal, don' put yo' trust in no man, no matter what he says. Mens don't mean pretty gals like you no good, na sank down on the beautiful bed in the Hadn't it been unwise to let Don take the understanding between him and Mrs. given such a palatial room!" hear me?" The old woman cast another baleful glance at the uneasy Don and then reaching in her pocket extracted a peculiar charm that resembled a nutmeg in shape but was jet black, with a white cord attached to it and a green feather running through its center. "What's that Granny?" asked Verna wonderingly, half smiling. "This here is a charm." said Grandma Nash, ignoring her levity. "Taint nuthin' to laugh at either. You put this around yo' neck. Whenever you think of this here charm you better stop doin' what you're doin' and don' do what you're figurin' on doin'. Understand?" The Unfailing Charm Verna nodded her head mechanically. The charm rather awed her. Gingerly she took it, examined it closely and then put the cord around her neck and let the charm hang inside her shirtwaist. "Will it really remind me when to watch my step. Granny?" she queried. "Yes child." Grandma Nash assured her. "That charm never fails. It never failed me and it'll never fail you." With that the old woman turne without another word and shambled away. "That's a lot of boloney!" scoffed Don, easing the car through the ruts of Billy Goat Lane. "Those things can't either help or hurt you. Verna. You've got to depend on your own wi s in this world. Your common sense will warn you whether you're doing the right thing or not. If I were you I'd throw that thing away." "Oh, no!" she cried. "I wouldn't do that. I believe Grandma Nash knows things that a whole lot of us don't know. Anyway. I'm not taking any chances. How do you know for sure that it's no good?" Don shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. He didn't want to get to arguing about a little thing like a charm. He had more important things to think of. he mused to himself as they sped down the hard-surfaced country road. When they arrived in town. he'd get her out of all that superstition, even if her head was rather hard. He smiled sardonically to himself as he thought of his new conquest. Verna's joy at getting away to a new job that seemed to point toward success was somewhat tempered by a Exciting Journey a state bordering on stupefaction. Talk her into coming to Kalesburg alone Quill? Funny that she should be certain strange and unexplainable foreboding. She couldn't explain to herself just what it was that made he: feel every few minutes a sort of vague uneasiness, but she felt it nevertheless. She glanced sidewise at Don. He looked so clean cut and square that an feeling of perturbation she might have had always vanished. The man inspired confidence and she felt sure that he was perfectly honest and a good friend. But ever and anon the feeling of suspicion and uneasiness would return to plague her. Mile after mile they drove on in silence, each thinking his or her individual thoughts. Don was thinking how he would boast to his friends and show off his new girl. He had no doubt that once in Kalesburg she would give in to his wishes as many others had. Verna was thinking of herself in the enviable role of hostess in a swell cabaret, meeting all of the important people, wearing the latest gowns and making plenty of money. Some time after dawn they entered the suburbs of Kalesburg. Through the bare and desolate streets they sped, flanked on either side by cold walls of brick concrete and steel. Here and there a pedestrian's footsteps echoed up from the cement sidewalks while traffic lights started and halted traffic that was at present non-existent. It was a chill'v morning although in the late spring and a thin gray mist enveloped the great downtown structures. Occasionally a lone street car crawled down an empty street like a hugely bug, rattling and clanging. The Fateful House Don brought the car to a stop before a tall, narrow, dingy house with long narrow windows and a high step. The blinds on the windows were securely fastened and altogether the place presented a rather forbid- Continued on Page Five BAFFLING MURDERS can be spent in following clever, well in plenty of suspense.

Then leisurely we sauntered along the broad south veranda toward our "criminal laboratory," as Miles had jokingly dubbed that secluded and quiet corner of ours on the north veranda. Here is was that we settled into comfortable rockers and brought out our favorite brands of tobacco. Rogerty nodded and indicated a chair. "Just had a call from the Mitchell estate out in Winona—you know of them, do you not?" "Mitchell!—Oh, ye.—the lawyer, sir?" "Right.

Holcomb was formerly a member of the Chicago police force, while Ralph Miles was a feature writer for a powerful syndicate of Negro newspapers. For a few moments we sat there in the semi-darkness. Opposite us sat Holcomb, powerfully built, his strong dark-skinned face tilted toward the floor-as if to say, "What thrill must I give these gentlemen tonight?" Subsequently a long discussion followed, dealing with crime and criminals in general, with particular emphasis upon the various courses open to the detective. "But," Holcomb pointed out—his pipe working fine now—"There are some cases where we need only let matters run along in a natural course. Now you take the Mitchell murder case, for instance—" Holcomb began to unravel the yarn, and as usual, we began to see. \*\*\* Chicago's veteran chief of detectives, Roggerty, hung up the receiver then whirled around in his swivel chair and whisked up the "inside" instrument. "Recreation room," he snapped to the operator on night duty, and then set about beating a rapid tattoo upon the desk with his fingers. "Recreation room?" he inquired after a moment. "Yes, sir." "Holcomb in tonight?" "Yes, sir." "Send him down," said Roggerty. He leaned far back in his chair, the usual frown upon his rugged face. Hubert Holcomb walked briskly into the office a few minutes later—tall, powerfully built, black, steady eyes. "Phone for me, sir?" he inquired. FREE VALUABLE INFORMATION --- Concerning your HAIR.

Here is good news for those who suffer the discomfort and torture of rheumatism, gout or neuralgia. A well-known physician has formulated a prescription which is helping to bring safe, sure relief to thousands of rheumatic sufferers. Registered as Prescription C-2223 and recommended by grateful users, it is based on the medical principle that most cases of rheumatism are caused by accumulated waste matter and toxic acids in the system. Liniments and other external applications seldom give more than temporary relief because their action is local. Such remedies fail to correct the cause of "There was the motionless body of a man heaped on the floor, his head...in a pool of blood." The well-known sleuth whirled out of the room. "Please, sir," the elderly servant whined as the officers hopped out About a half hour later, after a mad dash through the city and out into the dark stretches of suburban territory in a Department car, Detectives Holcomb and Wade swung off the state highway and sped up the winding driveway of the beautiful Mitchell estate - Inglewood; three acres of smartly landscaped grounds, the mansion itself, half obscured in the semi-darkness by giant oaks, perched loftily on a rise some hundred yards from the main highway. As the car screeched to a standstill under the great portico, Jennings, the butler, rushed down the flagstone steps to meet them, his brown face drawn in anxiety.

If you wish a personal reply please send a stamped self-addressed envelope. Verna, The Irresistible Julia Jerome A nice young man of New York City would like to know. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am twenty-five and not bad looking but I am rather small and thin and I just don't seem to attract women. I have had several sweethearts but invariably they leave me for some other fellow who knows less and has no manners but just who happens to be bigger. I've lost several to Jim, a pal of mine. He's not handsome and he's positively rough at times and yet women adore him. Now I've always heard women liked cavemen and what I want to know is why they like them. If I were a woman I shouldn't want a man like that. WELL-MANNERED. My dear young man, that is an old, old story. Way back, at the beginning of love, in the year One Million B.C. cavewomen selected their mates for prowess. They had to have a man strong enough to protect them and their young from the attacks of other animals, from storms, from droughts, from all the terrifying manifestations of a hostile Nature. And how could they know a man's strength unless they felt it themselves? And so it is that women still want a man to protest them. Even an emancipated woman wants a man who could, if called upon, fight for her. However, a man does not have to be six feet tall and weigh two hundred pounds to be strong and inspire respect. Many men that are large are soft, pudgy and inspire pity and amusement. Women don't really want a brutal man but they want a virile man. Brutality is sometimes the earmarks of virility. Your friend Jim is probably more virile than you. Manners are rather superficial things but virility is Continued from Page Three ding appearance. Verna didn't like the looks of it at all. "Here's where we get out," said Don cheerily. He wanted to reassure Verna because he had noticed her glance of apprehension. "Mrs. Quill is a fine woman. She'll look out for you better than your own mother. She's been a friend of our family for twenty years. Regular fellow, too, believe me." Verna, still apprehensive, for some strange reason that she could not fathom, said nothing but merely nodded and smiled and followed Don up the steps. He rang the doorbell. They waited what seemed to be an interminable period in the gray, chill morning air. Across the street a jet black cat meowed dismally, ran half way toward them and then turning in its tracks dived into a cellar window. Farther down the street a sign creaked eerily and Verna was startled by the sound of a newspaper being blown down the street. Then a shuffling could be heard on the other side of the door, the bolt was shot back and, mirrored in a rectangle of yellow light stood a tall, gaunt, seamy-faced woman, slightly stoop-shouldered, who peered out from under shaggy evebrows with deep-set eyes that bored them through and through. She was dirty yellow in color, her hands were long and talon-like and she was wrapped in a soiled dark red bathrobe. It was Mrs. Quill, the landlady. "Hello, Donald," she greeted Baxter, with a grim smile, "who's your friend?" He introduced the two women and they shook hands. Verna did not like the looks of Mrs. Quill. There was something sinister about her whole mien, something that warned one to take care and be on the alert. "Come right upstairs with me," dearie," said the landlady. "I've got a sweet little room here that you'll relieves stiff lame muscles Sloan's Liniment ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 28.1930 what makes the world go round and keeps the race from dying out.

MARQUESE De ELORZA "Today Negro rhythm predominates in dance and music," says the Hon. Marquese De Elorza. Having travelled extensively throughout the world, this well-known authority believes that the cultural advance of civilization in this country is being directly affected by the originality of Negro talent in art. He states also that UNA PLEGARIA (A Prayer) by an illiterate Cuban Negro named Placide, is as great as any of the work of Homer and Virgil, two of the world's greatest poets. The Marquese is an art critic, a famous journalist and Internationally known cosmetician. His products are sold throughout the world. love. It's in the back of the house where it's quiet. You know, you'll need a room like that if you're going to sleep in the daytime." The Locked Door She led Verna thru the dark hall and stopped in the rear. She fumbled a while for her key and then throwing open the door of the room revealed a palatial chamber that was riotously barbaric in its color scheme. Verna had never seen anything richer and it astounded and awed her. The walls were hung with light green satin, the furniture was lacquered in red trimmed with gold, there were small, dark red Persian rugs scattered around the floor, the low bed was covered with a green and silver spread and piled high with a score of pillows of every color while above was a royal purple canopy. "Is this for me?" Verna gasped stopping with open-mouth on the threshold. "Why certainly," Mrs. Quill assured her, lowering the corners of her mouth in a sardonic smile. "Don's friends always are welcome to the best. The bathroom is right through that door. Refresh yourself, child, and get a little sleep. Mr. Baxter says he'll come after you about noon." When, she had closed the door, Verna sank down on the beautiful! bed in a state bordering on stupefaction. Had she done wrong to come here? Hadn't it been unwise to let Don talk her into coming to Kalesburg alone with him? Might there not be some understanding between him and Mrs. Quill? Funny that she should be given such a palatial room. Why did Mrs. Quill smile so peculiarly? As these questions raced through her head she thought suddenly of the charm hanging against her breast. She gave a start and stood erect, apprehensive, terrified. She gripped the charm in her right hand and prayed silently for the strength and ingenuity to realize her ambition. In the dim, early morning light, her face tense, her beauty seemed unearthly and magically transparent. Suddenly she tiptoed to the door. It might be a good idea, she thought, to explore this place. Perhaps she might hear some scrap of conversation that would prove helpful to her in shaping her course. One could not be too careful in strange surroundings. She placed her hand on the knob, turned it softly and pulled. The door would not budge. It was locked! (To Be Continued) Have light-toned lovely skin!

He opened the door softly then and entered the room, followed by Wade, who closed the door after them. Like the room below, this chamber also attested at once wealth and power, its rare period furnishings suggested a taste which only persons of great refinement would appreciate—a room in chintz and mahogany. She lay there, Mrs. Mitchell, on a lounge before the huge mantle, sobbing bitterly. Respectfully, Holcomb crossed the highly polished floor and bent over her. She moved her head and there was revealed the tear-dampened face of a woman past forty, yet easy to admire in spite of cruelly reddened eyes. Instead of speaking, her fingers clutched at the pillows and her beautifully full lips compressed themselves until only a straight line was visible. "You have my sympathy, lady," Holcomb murmured. "Detective Holcomb speaking. May I——?" "Oh, how could he!" the woman suddenly sobbed. She rose then and staggered to the door, which she flung open. Jennings, who had obviously been eavesdropping, straightened up and stepped back in surprise. Holcomb and Wade regarded the old man inquiringly as he began sheepishly to explain. "Excuse me, madam," he babbled. "but I——I——" Mrs. Mitchell had suddenly reeled unsteadily. One hand went up to her forehead as she turned to Holcomb. "Jennings discovered it," she faltered, and would have slumped to the floor if Wade hadn't caught her and led her back to the lounge. Holcomb was out in the hall now.

His astounding discoveries of products emanating from the peanut. from red clay. and from the sweet potato have not yet been appreciated fully.

He would be of infinitely vaster importance not only to the so-called Negro race but toe the human race if he could be in- duced to share his secrets with a large: portion of mankind. But where. after all. could men be found who would not seize upon this amazing knowledge to make profit for themselves? Hardly anywhere. So perhaps Carver is right in prefer- ring to remain obscure. In a country like Soviet Russia his genius would be appreciated: it would be put to the use of all the people by the gov- ernment. But here the government as such does not know that the man exists Any one who, like Oscar De Priest, holds a seat in Congress, is a person of potential importance. That is true whether he uses his position unsel- fishly to benefit the people or selfish- ly to benefit himself. De Priest has not been selfish. He has been fool- ish occasionally: perhaps even a little stupid at times; but he has now been in Congress long enough to know his way around. In so far as this alleged democratic system of government permits it. he has a free hand, and he has also extensive space in which to exercise it. De Priest has done far more good than harm.

The last word in a gentleman’s work room, this chamber. In the mid- dle of the thickly carpeted floor was @ large desk. The walls were lined with built-in bookcases that reached to the beamed ceiling. The great windows, draped in luxurious velvet, somehow made the officers think of haughtily arched eyebrows. There was the motionless body of @ man heaped on the floor by the swivel chair, his head lying in a pool of cold blood—a huge man, dark of complexion, with the mark of the brilliant lawyer stamped on his stern face, even in death. Jennings took one look at the sorry sight and clung to the wall,*mutter- ing. Wade cursed softly. Holcomb acquired a bulldoggish expression and went grimly forward, until the stiff body lay at his feet. Then he bent low. Meantime Wade proceeded to in- spect the room. No, there was noth- ing to indicate that this was not a ‘suicide. No overturned chairs; no pulled drawers; no unlocked windows, ‘though the French doors leading to ‘the balcony were equipped with locks that could have been operated from the qitside, Wade observed. Holcomb had discovered the ugly little hole at Mr. Mitchell's temple. The revolver was lying on the floor less than two feet away. He drew a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully lifted this to his nostrils. He smelled of it again and again— till finally, arched his eyebrows high! Next, he examined the barrel and found five bullets, and one empty ‘hole. His curiosity in that direction apparently satisfied, Holcomb com- menced crawling around on his hands and knees. In a few moments, he was getting to his feet again with one empty shell between his fingers. | “Jennings,” he said after a bit, \BASEIE SE SELLING ASPIRIN IN- THE WORLD FORIO? 12 Tablets 10c - 36 Tablets 25¢ -100 Tablets 686 St. Josephs Pure ASPIRIN >—you’re growing hideously fat!

What was this message, Jennings?” “They had. . . . I couldn’t say, sir. pIt was sealed, sir.” “How long have you been employed here, Jennings?” “Seven ... eight years, sir.” “They got along nicely, I sup- pose?” “Yes, sir—very nicely, sir—mostly.” Holcomb launched the next ques- tion suddenly, forcefully. “What did you do with the un- delivered message?” he surprised. Quite unconsciously, the old man proceeded to reveal a thing which he obviously had not intended to, for no sooner than did his hand rise to his breast pocket than did his wrin- kled -face turn an ashen grey. His eyes suddenly widened; his lips part- ed in a confused gasp as Holcomb stepped closer and subjected him to & thorough eye lashing. At which the excited domestic wilted. Reluctantly, he slowly drew @ sealed envelope from his pocket and Passed it over. And as Holcomb ripped -it_open a car honked outside somewhere, and Jennings became suddenly all nerves. “Please,” he fidgeted; “that'll be Doctor Canada, sir. Madam’s orders, sir, I must go.” And with that he backed out in great haste. | Then with Wade pecring over his | shoulder, Holcomb unfolded the single sheet of paper in his hand and began to read. They glanced at each other and then read the few scrawled words again. I'M TIRED. LET’S BURY THE HATCHET. £ —GRACE. Detective Holcomb finally crumpled the sheet of paper into-a ball and shoved it into his pocket. “It would seem,” he remarked, “that the Mitch- ellis had had some misunderstanding, eh?” Wade was plainly confused. “But Holcomb,” he whispered, “surely you're not looking for a clue?—not in a case of suicide?” “Suicide, your eye!” Holcomb whis- Pered back. “It’s murder, pure and simple—and if you ask me, it’s going to be a large order!” He led Wade over to the desk and carefully picked up the gun again. “Smell it,” he suggested. Wade took several whiffs and his eyes opened wide. “Cordite!” he exclaimed; “there's no odor of cordite!” “Right. That's not the gun that killed Mitchell, Wade. It hasn't been fired in a month, if then. You can detect the odor of cordite on a gun as much as ten hours after it has been fired. It was planted, see!” “Holy God!” “The shell was planted, too, Wade. It is an old one, very old.” At that moment Jennings entered the room again, closely followed— crowded in fact—by the doctor, who, at first sight of the body on the floor, brushed past the hesitating butler in amazement, dropping his medicine bag to the floor. ’ “Good old Mitchell!” he exclaimed, dropping hurriedly to his knees by the body. “Good old Mitchell!—gra- cious!” And then he set doggedly about making a thorough examination— the victim’s eyelids, pulse, heart, the ugly little hole at his left temple... _ “How long do you think it hap- pened, Doctor?” Holkomb inquired af- ter a few minutes. “Five or six hours, at least.” He nodded his grey head bitterly. “That would make it about between five and six.” Holcomb reflected. ly reason. ... Who could have guessed it!” “It is not suicide, sir,” Holcomb remarked calmly; “it is—murder!” The doctor sprang backwards in amazement. At the same time a se- Ties of deep, gurgling sounds came Suddenly from across the room, and the three men swung around toward the door. It was Jennings. He was flattened up against the door, ap- parently frightened into hysteria, his mouth hanging loose, his eyes ex- panded into perfect discs, his frail body trembling. Suddenly he swung ‘around and started fumbling, with the kyob frantically. _ Swiftly Holcomb crossed the room. “Just a minute, Jennings,” he or- dered. “What“I have just said must not be repeated. Understand? Any- way, I think you had better remain here for the time being.” “By all means!” Doctor Canada agreed. “You can’t, you must not re- veal this information to Grace Mitchell. I fear her present condi- tion wouldn't stand it! ... You will agree to this .. . pléase!” “I won't commit myself, doctor,” |was Holcomb’s unexpectedly reply. “It may become necessary to talk to Mrs. haitchell again before morning. I promise, however, to use every discretion possible. The doctor’s eyes snapped. Hol- cumb, all sleuth now, then turned again to the cringing butler. “How many Servants are there here, Jen- @ings?” he inquired briskly. “Three . . . four, sir, beside myself.” “Where can they be located now?” “Quarters or third floor, sir—two maids, a cook, and the chauffeur. I'll call them—” “Never mind.” Holcomb turned to Wade. “Get them down, Wade,” he said. “Send them in singly, and re- |main outside with them unti’ I have ae with each one. Jennings, you will stand outside with them. ... You will be good enough to excuse yourself for a moment, Doctor?” Again Doctor Canada’s eyes snapped. He had come forward and |was about to speak, when suddenly the phone over on the desk rang out shrilly, taking the men by surprise— particularly Jennings. | It was Holcomb who crossed the room and whisked the instrument up. And almost instantly Wade and the doctor were_drawn toward the desk, too... . | ,.,. That expression of consterna- ‘tion on Holcomb’s face! ! ! e*eses At this point in Hubert Holcomb’s narration of the Mitchell murder case we, Miles and I, were so hope- lessly engrossed in the spirit of the thing that it was somé moments be- fore we became aware that our en- tertainer had stopped talking and was now going leisurely about the ‘business of filling his pipe again—so complete had been his yarn! Miles took the sudden halt seri- ously, however. “Mr. Holcomb,” he declared, “I find you most unaccommodating! You ‘lead us spang up the side of a cliff, as it were, anchor us securely to a rock—and then desert us!” - Holcomb let out a loud howl. “For instance,” Miles went on, jokingly. “Why so much mystery when a little thing like a phone rings?” Holcomb paused with his pipe and leaned far forward again at that. Miles and I waited expectantly. “It was a feminine voice that came over the wires,” he said final- ly. “She said ‘I WARNED HIM TWICE. HE IGNORED ME.
