After all about the only Investment that a fellow can feel perfectly satisfied with is his home. If that is paid tor, you don’t care much what the stock ticker says. Yon still have the same value you h id when you could have sold it for twice what you can now. If you are paying for a home, keep it up. It's the most sensible tiling any one can do-—to owii his own place of I abode. President Hoover will not put on ■ hot campaign so fur as he is personally concerned. He has turned I hut job over to Everett Sanders and with the exception of making three or four major addresses, will leave the Hoosier do the Held work. I hat is about as wi.se a decision as tile President could make but when the campaign gets good and warm, be may get excited and hop in. That's what usually happens. After next weeks national Demo cratie convention, we may expect a lull in politics until after dog days. Os course in the meantime there will be some hard undercover ; work done by the men who work at ’ the job all the time and along about September Ist. the big campaign I will open, continuing until election (lay in November. There will be 1 much campaigning of various kinds jt'.nd every voter who makes a little i efiort can get the information he I desires, so he may vote lyTaxes will be the outstanding i sue this year it seems and there j re several others including prohii hition. We believe that nationally phe most important tiling to eons'der is how we can put back to ; work the army of unemployed. Compared to that all other things sink into insignificance for if we I i ave earning power we can stand I (lie other burdens while without it , we are out of the picture entirely. We hope the voters will not permit Ii he smaller problems to cob-web their minds to the exclusion of the one big thing in America, better times. Os course the more econMk"dcal M we are the more careful, the \’iin?r the desired condition can he expected. o Household Scrapbook -ByROBERTA LEE Cleaning the Auto Radiator Dissolve about 1 teai uipfful of ordinary washing or baking soda to cap'll 2 ajallong of hot witer.

Peace Time Patriotism By GEO. B. CORTELYOU. President. Consolidated Gas Company of New York.

It has been said that "patriotism consists just as much in believing in one's country in a depression as in fighting for it in a war.” Few will dispute this statement, difficult though it be to give it practical application; for it is in | some respects harder to overcome j a depression, many of whose ?!*■ ■ meats are invisible, intangible arid incalculable, than to overthrow the armed forces of a visible foe, whose numbers and resources are ’I known I A depression has its casualties] ! no less than war; like war. it en- | tails sacrifice and suffering, from I which no class is exempt. In fact, a depression is a kind of war in which we are all enlisted "for tile duration.” whether we will or not. It is up to us to play our part and do our duty as gobd soldiers. Ono of the first essentials is morale. A spirit of defeatism at this time is as dangerous as it would have been in 1917-18. To give way to panic or despair would l.e tlie surest means of precipitating Hie very disaster we are trying to avoid. Nor is there just grotiml for such an altitude. When wo remember the optimism that was rampant only a few years ago, when confidence in a neverending prosperity was unbounded, and when we realize—as we now do how unwarranted such a state of mind was. does not this suggest at least the possibility that the opposite state of mind may be equally unwarranted? True, we have lost much, but we have much more left, and wbat we have left is tar more importaut than what we have lost. We have suffered no catastrophe of nature; i we have not been stricken by

I earthquake, famine or pestilence. Our farms, mines, railroads and factories are still intact. Indeed. '; so far as our production facilities . are concerned, we are embarrassed 1 not by to little but by too much. 11 This does not mean that every- ■ ■ body's wants have been satisfied. and a surplus left over. It means 1 that the basis of exchange by ■| which normally the markets are cleared of goods has IJeeu disrupt'[ed. with a resultant stoppage in i tile customary flow of goods into i consumption. The immediate and ■ i pressing need is to establish right conditions for the resumption as the interrupted flow. Many of the adjustments neces- ■ I sary to bring this about have been or are being made; many yet re- ; main to be made. Just when the point marking the turn will be reached nobody knows. Probably no one will recognize it when it appears but only after a certain , perspective has been gained. The problem, however, is gradually becoming more clearly defined, and with clearer definition is coming a belter understanding of the measures to He taken. This is not a time for shallow optimism, for sitting back in the complacent belief that "everything will be all right." but for calm and reasoned confidence in the future of our country made effective by a combination of faith and works —a combination which lias won for us in tlie past and will do so again. This country has never lost a ■ war and will not lose this one. Tomorrow Geo. L. Berry. Presi- ■ dent of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of North America.

< 'MueDERii , ,NICHTCIUBLAD)I THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY I SY ANTHONY ABBOT -J & 9 tC.~t.-rCHT.I93I BY ■ ■ ■ z -rz.--.

SYNOPSIS Lola Carene, night club habitue, receives a death threat. New Year's Eve. Previously her dog and parrot were mysteriously killed. District Attorney Merle K. Dougherty suspects Lola of being the "brains" of the jewel thief ring that has battled the police. Although her husband. Gaylord Gifford, died practically penniless, Lola lives in luxury. Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt places a guard in Lola's penthouse apartment, warning her that she must not be alone in a room at any time. Mrs. Carewe, Lola's mother; Chung the butler, Eunice the maid, and Vincent ; Rowland, an attorney, are present. In the living room, the Commissioner finds a bag belonging to Christine Quires, Lola’s guest. It evidently had been used that night, yet Lola informs Colt that Christine Is at the Lion’s Paw, a roadhouse, where Lola was to have joined her. Colt is surprised to find Mrs. Carewe's room in strange contrast to the surrounding wealth. Lola's own boudoir is a gaudy contradiction of the living room’s elegance. Lola refuses to reveal the identity of the young man whose photograph adorns her dresser. Against orders, she enters the guest room alone. A scream follows. Rushing in. Colt finds her on the floor, unconscious. Dr. Hugh Baldwin, a friend, diagnoses the case as a heart attack. CHAPTER NINE COLT, who had stood with folded arms and knitted brows, turned to the butler, and unexpectedly asked: “Chung, do you know if Miss Lola Carewe was right-handed or ! left-handed?” “Right-handed,” answered Chung, with prompt and urbane assurance. “I am left-handed. That makes me observe other people’s hands. Miss Lola was right-hand-ed.” At a word of dismissal from Colt, the butler then left, closing the door after him. “I am concerned,” Colt declared, “about her bathrobe.” “What about it, Thatcher?” asked Dougherty, moving forward, with a vague glance at the gari ment. “The way it is buttoned, for one thing.” “Buttoned?” Both Dougherty and I looked again at the dressing-robe, as did I the now deeply mystified and nervous Doctor Baldwin. None of us noticed anything peculiar about the way it was buttoned. “Y'ou see for yourselves,” pursued Colt, “it is a double-breasted i dressing-robe buttoned on the right i side. We all know when a man puts on any kind of garment, he buti tons it invariably on the right side. The important thing is that women always reverse the procedure. It has been my experience that no woman ever buttons her coat, pyjamas or other apparel from left to right, unless the buttons on the left side have been torn away or if she is left-handed. Chung says that Lola was right-handed. Look at her coat.” Colt’s acute observation had indeed found here a singular variation from the normal. Lola’s body was sheathed in a bath-robe buttoned after the manner of a man. Dougherty gave a low gasp. “I see what you mean Perhaps it was put on her by someone else. And someone else made the natural mistake of reversal because he was facing his victim! But why, Thatcher, why?” “Victim! I've heard enough of this talk!” exclaimed Doctor Baldwin. “What is going on here? It all seems very peculiar.” Thatcher Colt regarded the physician with a stern gaze. “Doctor Baldwin.” he began, "you have given it as your opfn- ; ion that Lola Carewe is suffering from a heart attack. And yet—if

you will pardon a layman’s groping—in a heart attack the patient invariably feels suffocated and flushed. Am I not right, doctor!” “Absolutely right!” agreed Baldwin, with an aggrieved glare. He had paled noticeably. “Yet again,” pursued the chief, "here we find a ( girl supposed to I have a heart attack, but clad in a warm robe, and in an apartment that is noticeably overheated. That, I I agree with you, is peculiar.” “Perhaps.” admitted the physician with a grudging air. II "Further,” pursued Colt, "that : livid glow on the face which is visible even under this girl’s make- . up—is that curious coloring a symptom of heart trouble?” ' “Not a common one, but ” , “It might be a suspicious sac- ■ tor, mightn't it?” Baldwin’s pallor deepened. i “Suspicious?” "Is it not true.” prodded Colt, “that in certain types of poisoning, j 1 this flush appears?” I The strong fingers of Dact or f • Baldwin’s great right hand tighti ened around the frail wrist in his ! I grasp. “Mr. Commissioner, I must in- ■ sist upon knowing if there is any I reason for these suspicious?” he t demanded. s i “The color!” prodded Colt impa-1 • i tiently "Isn’t it possibly a symptom of poisoning?” i j The physician hesitated, then t j barked his reply. ) I “It is one of the phenomena of • | carbon monoxide poisoning, — but 51 wouldn’t that be impossible here?” t There followed a long, ominous 8 silence. Doctor Baldwin stood unt moving and speechless, as no one r replied to his question. Then the physician heaved a deep and re- - signed sigh. With an air of final- ■ ity, he let Lola’s wrist fall from his ■’ hand down to the bed, lifelessly. “I arrived too late,” he announced . solemnly. “This lady is dead.” With sombre eyes. Thatcher Colt s i stared unspeakhig at the pale and . ; haggard face of Doctor Hugh BaldII win.
