that it It will restore friendly rela tlotis and stimulate business, every . me will he more than satisfied. , Now if we could get our little matter fixed up we would be all * ready to go. The special session of the legisj lature hasn't started off so well. Every one seems to have a differ- , i nt opinion and to be mad at every 1 one else. That's what we feared ’land unless they get down to the » serious angle of the proposition Jitney won’t get any where. Surely l they won't waste any time when some real legislation Is so badly needed. The senate snapped the two billion dollar relief bill through about •i- easily as the house. We hope if i' ever becomes a. law, it will be | more effective than some of the previous measures. Usually the aid 'which these bills are designed to provide, goes to the wrong bunch. I For instance the reconstruction billions are being spent largely with iln great corporations instead of in the rural sections where rebuilding must begin to lie solid. i i i Tin l.a Fountaine Handle farItory resumed operations today with a force of twenty-five men. which means much ami along with that good news, there is a slight pick up in the other factories about town.

With a steady boost in 1 prices of farm products the past i week, every one is beginning to I take courage. We seem to be going through a period of the depression when its easy to get peeved with some one kind about every one lias an imagi inary something to fuss about. If there ever was a time when we '•i.ght to tight such a feeling, its now Remember the other fellow is not having easy sailing either. J We still have sunshine and health and rivers and woods and fields and garden spots and a thousand things. We still have resources and opportunities and a future and the fe'low who smiles it through i will beat the one who whines it off. I and be happier for doing it. i — °~ — ♦

NOW IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED By EDWARD C. ELLIOTT President of Purdue University

This is a frightened old world.. Clear evidence of this is presented | on every side. Many have lost ’ much of their wealth. All of nsj have a feeling that the material things we value are likely to slip away from us in spite of all we can do. From this panicy attitude comes a new danger; that we shall lose our wits along with our wealth. We know what an orgy of speculation lias done to the world's productive industries. This should put us on our guard against the j risks of an orgy of speculation in j our protective ideas and our progressive ideals. These observations are made as i I come from an official review of a large Reserve Officers Training Corps. The chief reviewing offi- j cer was a high ranking soldier of the army, one to whom the nation! owes much for his distinguished] service and valor in Hie Great] War. As we went down the! straight lines of straight, stalwart, young men—two thousand in alias we watched tlie competent looking student officers competently] executing tlie responsibilities of] their commands, there was for both of us. the schoolmaster and! tlie soldier, a feeling of deep satisfaction. This satisfaction had nothing to do witli the military idea. Here was a form of training' that was adding invaluable and easily seen elements to the indi-J vidual power and Hie civic stature | of young men such as no other form of tiaining or educating could! add. Why could not those who! today, either by reason of idealism

, or tlie sense of the need of nationi al economy, or otherwise, seek to weaken or destroy tiiat part of i our system of national education represented by tlie Reserve Officers Training Corps, bo brought to a realization that tlie purely military objectives are incidental. After more than forty years of active contact witli military instruction in our colleges and universities. I possess a firm conviction that tlie Reserve Officers i Training Corps must be valued ' entirely apart from the question i of special training of young men I for military ends. This organiza- ’ tion contributes largely and effi- ■ ciently to the development of those essential qualities of which . dynamic human character is composed a sense of personal responi sibility, tlie necessity of purpose- ! ful cooperation in this modern i world, the inspirations of leaderj shii> and of fellowship, and a clear : recognition of the eternal place of I order and organization in human | society. Here is one activity : through which civic service and I relations are given a relentless, a i practical and also an ideal setting. , It is tlie one place where tlie relation of tlie individual to tlie whole nation is symbolized and vitalized. Tlie Reserve Officers Training Corps gives to young men something that is in sharp contrast to tlie present day tendency towards civic irresponsibility and lawless 1 individuality. They come to real- | ize that strength of character must be tested in tin hard and common i realities of life rather than tinted ' by sentimental preachments. It is the presence of tlie force of such

characters in our national life , rather than the absence of the j force of arms that will produce ; fellowship and peace of the world. Let there be real economy in the spending of the national cash. > Such real economy does not in- ■' elude the spiking of the guns of ! character. Tomorrow: Rev. DeLoss Markeii.

THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY \ by ANTHONY ABBOT If J eoPYRi'Mi. :9i: er covtci-fkiede a/aw/ea/mCH

SYNOPSIS Lola Carewe, “The Night Club I.adv”, is mysteriously murdered in her penthouse apartment at three o'clock New Year's morning. An hour later, the body of Lola’s guest, I Christine Quires, is found in Lida's I room. Christine had been killed first and her body hidden. Dr. Hugh Baldwin attributes both deaths due to heart failure. Guy Everett, Christine’s New Year’s Eve escort, claims he brought herhomeat 12:15and then went riding, alone,on the Motor Parkway. Mrs. Carewe, Lola's mother, denies seeing Christine return. Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt discounts District Attorney Dougherty’s theory that Lola was killed by a jewel thief ring she headed and that Christine met the same fate for knowing too much. Vincent Rowland, Lola's lawyer, discloses that Everett loved Lola and was jealous of Dr. Baldwin. The Commissioner telephotos a picture of a young man. named Basil, found on Lola’s dresser, to the Paris Prefect of Police requesting that he identify it and investigate Lola’s past. The police are on the trail of Christine's brother, Edgar, who left his Rochester home for New York after receiving a telegram New Y ear's Eve. ’ Christine was to have inherited wealth shortly. Dr. Multooler, the medical examiner, contradicts Dr. , Baldwin’s statement that heart failure caused the deaths. A strap picked up in Lola’s room presents mute evidence of having caused the bruise on Christine’s neck — after death. Everett confesses he lied about riding on the Motor Parkway. He states Christine told him she had found out a plot to murder Lola and feared for her own life because of her knowledge, adding that Dr. Baldwin was involved. CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN "AND Eunice James?" ZM “Just a little German girl from Staten Island. I think she is tn love with Guy Everett.” “Quite likely,” smiled Colt. “Now what have you got about Lola?” Flynn pulled a sheaf of papers from a side pocket. “Plenty," he answered, “but what does it mean? By working here, and telegraphing Hollywood, we have interviewed three of her former leading men, one producer, a | costumer, and" a scenario writer who was in love with her. Also a I dozen wealthy men she was friendly with here in New York. None of I them will say very much. If I were to make a guess, 1 would say that Lola had something on them all.” “And you would be right!” smiled Colt. “What about her arrival in this country?” “Got that, too. Os course the records were all locked up, but those Department of Justice boys can get pretty nearly anything they want. Lola came to this country alone about twelve years ago—here are the records!” Colt studied the transcript of the State Department records with absorbed interest. Then he tucked them in his pocket. , “And about Christine?” he went on. “Her brother and his wife are leading citizens of Rochester. Their reputation is first rate. They did , leave on the train for New York—but so far they haven’t reached here.” “Unless they arrived before the crimes,” murmured Colt. “There’s always that,” asserted Flynn, closing one eye. “As for Vincent Rowland, he went home, went to bed, and from all accounts is at this minute sound asleep.” “Sensible man!” sighed Colt. “What report did you get on Doctor Baldwin?” “The worst of all,” revealed In- , spector Flynn heavily. "He spent the rest of his night at his office. Hasn’t gone home yet. The bellboys at their apartment house say he and his wife quarrel frequently —over money and Lola Carewe. People in the next apartment say the same thing. They say the wife ' is a good woman and all that—but " fat and jealous! And that’s bad!" ’ Colt nodded his entire concur1 rence, as he lit his pipe and shuf-1

Flynn shrugged his shoulders. “No finger-prints on any of it,” he growled. “Looks to me like we’re dealing with a professional.” “Or with a smart amateur,” amended Colt, as he turned to an- • other pile of papers beside him. : “Here are the cables from Scotland Yard.” ' “Macy sends on the report about Lola Carewe’s hybrid past,” con- • tinued Colt, reading hastily. “Started life as a London working girl. i Once arrested for a fight with an- • other girl in the millinery shop in 1 Soho where she was employed.

Quickly he shuffled through the other reports lying there-the offi- • cial statements of the department ‘ chemists and the Assistant Medical : Examiner, and a message from Fal- • lon, left in charge of the pent- ' house, stating that all was quiet. ’ Colt was about to pass on, when a telephone rang.
