I ion of congress are wasting a lot of energy. It will be a cold day before they get to quench that thirst, if previous votes are any critterion. Os course there is the probability 1 that some members may have changed their minds since the re- • cent national conventions. t — * Postage rates went up fifty per , cent yesterday, which is the new I idea of helping out in these disJ tressing days. You are supposed i to write fewer letters we presume. Os course its a queer thing tliat the l increase comes in that department ot the postoffice, which is self sustaining, but a lot of things seem funny to we average folks. There will be a lot of tax talk iu the special session with every known proposal for reducing expenses and increasing receipts. We .have not yet been thoroughly coni vinced that the easiest means of raising money tor governmental purposes is not a sales tax. Here we are paying five cents a gallon taxes on gasoline and the average car owner doesn't seent to feel it. Al Smith will support the Democratic ticket. He has so stated because a lot of folks were doubting him. but to the rank and tile who have watched his colorful career, that statement was unnecessary. He believes in Jeffersonian doctrines, has always fought under that flag and will so continue. The party is solidly behind their candidates. Congratulations to the National Hay Association for their selection of Avon Burk of this city to serve as president of that organization. Splendidly qualified iu every way, a veteran of the association, who has worked his way through the official chairs, he will make good end we predict a splendid year for them. Mr. Burk is popular here and his friends are very happy over tthis high honor which has come to him so deserving!}’. The always expected split in the Democratic party does not seem to be in evidence this year. The convention closed with a cheer ar.d its been getting louder and louder as the stamp of approval is placed on the results. Roosevelt and Garuer are popular everywhere—east, west, north and south —and it looks like a landslide. The country needs a change, is the general belief of millions of voters this year. o Household Scrapbook —By— H ROBERTA LEE Cleaning Glass It is an easy task to clean windows and mirrors with a cloth dipped in two tablespoonfuls of household ammonia two qua: is of water This will also give the glass a polish.

’'MURDERti'NIGHTCIUBLADy' THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY /—» by ANTHONY ABBOT S J amuoHi 19S by cavrci f/ucvi KiNefiMunit,

a Following the receipt of a death threat, Lola Carewe, known as "The Night Club Lady", ia mysteriously slain in her penthonse apartment at 3 a. m. New Year's. Dr. Hugh Baldwin reports death due to heart failure. The only clue to the murderer is a medical laboratory specimen box outside Ixda's window. Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt attaches importance to the young man whose photograph is found in Lola's room, and whose identity Lola had refused to reveal beyond his first name. “Basil”. At the mention of "Basil", Mrs. Carewe. Lola's mother, becomes hysterical. It is known that Loh quarreled with Guy Everett and Vincent Rowland, a lawyer, over investments. Eunice, the maid, confessed she was employed by Everett to report the goings on in the apartment. The mystery deepens with the finding of the body of Christine Quires, Lola's guest. Christine had been killed before Lola and her body hidden until an opportune moment arrived for the murderer to place it, ■making wet, in Lola's room. The findings are similar to those in Lola’s rase except that Christine's neck was bruised after death. Everett, Christine's last escort, claims he left her at the apartment elevator at midnight New Year's Eve. and then went for a ride on the Motor Parkway, alone, arriving home after 3 a. m. Mrs. Carewe informs Colt that Christine lived with a brother. Edgar, in Rochester, and was to receive her inheritance shortly. It is learned that Edgar Quires received a telegram New Year’s Eve f and left for New York. Paper and ink identical with the death threat

materials are found under Eunice's mattress. Everett's Motor Parkway ilibi is shattered. Colt requests the Prefect of the Parisian Surete to nvestigate Lola’s past. Rowland iiscloses that Everett wanted to marry Lola and was jealous of Dr. Baldwin. CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE rr > BEGAN the evening’s ■ perI formance,” Dougherty responded with a facetious smile, "by asserting that Lola Carewe was a jewel thief. Since then I have not had five clear minutes to tell you why I jhink so. I am ready to do that now. And I feel certain that therein lies the secret of what has happened!” Colt was refilling his pipe. “Very well,” he acceded, "you tell me why you think Lola Carewe was a robber queen!” "Lola Carewe lived the life of a wealthy woman. Right? She had no visible source of income! Right? I start from there. At the various night-clubs in New York she has neen seen consorting with suspi-cious-looking characters!” Colt threw a mocking glance to the ceiling. • “In all my experience in police work." he objected, “I have never been able to find out what makes a person a suspicious-looking character. Does it mean prognathous raws? If so, look at the Board of tldermen. Flashy clothes? Look at he Mayor. Does it mean shifty eyes ind a general air of avoiding detection? If so, look at the President of he Anti-Vice Society. It is a meaningless phrase, Dougherty. You know as well as I do that some of he most respectable-looking human beings on earth appear in the police line-up every morning. What other evidence have you got?” “But Lola has been seen hobnobbing with police characters,” remonstrated Dougherty, his face flushed. “I mean handlers of hot diamonds.” “But that doesn’t prove her guilty!” “No—but she is also often seen at their hang-out,” added Dougherty, with a gleam of triumph in his eyes. “Now I happen to know that shortly before every spectacular jewel robbery during the last year, the victim wore her gems publicly

MILITARY TRAINING IN UNIVERSITIES By THOMAS F. KANE. President University of North Dakota

As a citizen. I believe in areas- , onable provision for preparedness i on the part of the Government, in the present state of civilization of the world. In a state university, where the 1 provision for this preparation of the individual is nntde by the state, the simplest possible obligation would be for the individual to prepare himself to defend that state in time of need, and the i nation of which that state is a unit. As to the training itself. I foci. 1. that there is no other training in the university that does more for the average freshman in his first semester and his first year ai the university than his military training. He learns how to stand, how to talk, how to carry himself. He learns neatness in dress and in personal appearance. He learns all of these not simply from instruction but from observation and comparison, in seeing a company of fellow students In uniform going through the same drill and discipline and noting the difference between the well I

in a night club where Lola Carewe was attending—and that every one of the victims knew Lola Carewe and had entertained her, or had been entertained by her.” Thatcher Colt smoked thoughtfully. “Downright impressive,” he concurred. “But have you any direct evidence to connect Lola with any jewel robbery, beyond these certainly suspicious circumstances?” “None. None at all! That was why I wanted you to come in on the case. I meant to give you the tip — and you could follow it through. Right?” “Profoundly right," acquiesced Colt with a smile. “You have a dossier on your investigation, of course?” “Sure—at my office.” “Will you have it sent round to my office in the morning?” “With pleasure.” “An interesting theory," Colt ruminated. “But it will hardly cover all our facts.” “Look at that ruby Lola wore last night,” urged the District Attorney. “How did that get around her neck?” “There,” demurred Colt, "is what seems to me a weak link in your theory. Such a jewel would be too conspicuous to be worn, if it were stolen property. Somebody would eventually recognize it I have already asked our jewel expert at Headquarters to check on that ruby —but I fancy we shall find that Lola came by it quite honestly—as that term is nowadays understood." “It depends on where the jewel w 33 stolen, and from whom,” argued Dougherty, by no means convinced. “Anyway, let me put my whole theory before you. Christine Quires comes down to New York to visit Lola Carewe. In the intimacy of the household she gets wise to Lola’s game—a stalker for loot for a jewel ring. The mob finds out that she has found them out She is a danger to them ever afterward. So is Lola. So they plan to get rid of both of them. And they do!” “Then you conceive," Colt stated finally, “that the death-threat note was a hoax.” r “Undoubtedly!" “And the deaths of the dog and the monkey a part of a prearranged stratagem?”

groomed man of good bearing and the man careless in appearance and bearing. Many freshmen at the end of a semester's training would hardly be recognized as the same men that matriculated.as freshmen in the fall, and 2. that this training comes in as one of the best elements of balance in our university life. When young men come here from the high school we start them towards independence of work, independence of judgment, and self reliance in every way as fas. as they are ready for it. At their age we, perhaps, push this principle, of freedom and independence a little faster than many of them are ready for it. One of the fine offsets to this freedom, which some of them tend to turn to license and lack of attention to business, is the training in a department where exactness, 'aw and authority are the order of the day. One Is particularly impressed with this thought when we consider the tendency toward lawlessness cf our whole people. This means that as a people we enjoy a little

• “They may have been sheer eo r incidences.” • Colt’s brows knitted in doubt. I “But why?” he persisted. “Why go through all that elaborate hocuspocus of the note? It seems so unreasonable, so absurdly unnecessary!” “Thatcher,” he remonstrated, do I have to instruct you as to the silly and amazing things that criminals do? You know the history of : crimes as well as I do, and better.” In this contention, Colt had to agree that District Attorney Dough ; erty was correct. To reconstruct ; any case on the theory that a criminal, however clever, is a reasonable I human being, is generally a fatal : error. “Nevertheless,” persisted the ’ Commissioner, “we cannot ignore ! i the death of the dog and the parrot, or the sending of the deathnote. There are certain obvious : conclusions to be drawn from those ■ circumstances. They show malice. And a kind of folk-lore superstition. ■ Such murders have been known to occur in Roumania.” I “And what do you argue from | that?” asked Dougherty, after a ■ significant pause. “Too early to argue. But malice , is there—malice in the killing of | . two innocent creatures,' malice in | the note that boasted of those two useless killings and the threat to : Lola. The killer wanted Lola to • know that death was coming; : wanted her to suffer anticipatory i pangs. Malice, sprung from re- • venge, is hence a probable motive. I The killer is intelligent, too, having ’ perfected such a subtle method of i murder that even the sending of ■ that note seems safe—a kind of de- . fiant assurance is there; the pleasure , of torturing the doomed girl is ■ greater than the risk of discovery.” , “If you are right, what can we • do?” grunted Dougherty in a dis- ; contented voice. . “What we are doing. Looking ia- . to Lola’s life for causes of re- [ venge. And looking into Lola’s body for causes of her death—the subtle I method that was used. When that is > isolated, we shall ask ourselves who i had access to that means of murder. That is why we need more facts." I (To Be Continued Tomorrow) • Copyright 1931, bv Covici-Friede. Inc.

i ' ' i larger degree of liberty than we are capable of. My feeling is that our military training in the university is the best balance for this excess of freedom, as a reminder, that we have in the university. The three commandants of our R.O.T.C. of the past twelve years have been, in each case, the equal of the highest grade of men that we have on the regular university staff. The work under the direction of these commandants has keen correspondingly of a high order, and has had a correspondingly wholesome influence on our men. The officers associated with these commandants would compare favorably all the time with the ' staff in our departments of the ■ University. . As to the R.O.T.C. work being voluntary, 1 am opposed to that as a citizen, because if this policy of preparedness on the part of the I Government is sound, and I be--1 lieve it is. then it should be car- ’ ried out by men for whom provision is made by the public for • their preparation for life, and there is no more logic in having 1 militS’-y training voluntary than ’! there is in having tax paying volfl untary. So far as I know, the ’ | people who are advocating volun- ’ tary military training are using * V I I ,
