Airplane stocks have gone upward the past few days, there are activities in that line. In fact we appear to be on the up and up. The legislature is handling every thing very carefully except the bill to reduce members salaries. On that there seems to be general accord that such a thing would wreck the future of Indiana. Arthur Hamrick, three times candidate for secretary of state on the Democratic ticket, died at Indianapolis yesterday after a several weeks illness. He was one of the best known men in the state. They are still introducing bills in the •sffieeial session just like they had months to consider them. Forty new ones yesterday. Wonder why they don’t consider some of those now jn without bringing in a new grist each day. Dfffring the rest of the session of the 'legislature, tickets are required for admission. We don't know just why but that’s the rule. We have a number of these tickets at this office and those who intend to visit the house may secure them by-aalling. fever season is due in . a •week and that’s any thing but a —joke for those who suffer from it. -You can help by seeing that the 2 weeds are cut. Do that for your j ajid it will help the ap- ■ * pearance of your place. Don’t for■•get the vacant lots and highways. 1 2 Oh. well, whatever the special ' * session does will be gone over in 1 “the general session which opens in -January. If economic conditions . * improve by that time, look for n many changes of salaries and ex- " penditures but if they continue to 2 get worse, no one knows what will * happen then. Both Republican and Democratic . state conventions adopted a plat--2 form plank favoring the repeal of 2 ihe Wright law. The Democratic “ house has voted to do so in the - special session, putting it up to the • senate. The people are generally not so much interested in what 2 they du as they are that they do 2 something that gets it out of the • load.

The best investment today 1b In real estate. At present prices you are sure to make money for farms or city property can ue purchased far below actual value. Buy now 1 and sell when normalcy returns, In the meantime Its a tine thing to • own property. (History shows that ; in times of depression, tho farm feels it first and is first to emerge. 1 An interesting trip about town ' just now is one to the community 1 gardens which are located in varJ ions directions and on which some - sixty people are raising vegetables that will help them tide over the summer, fall and winter. They are well taken care of and are much more attractive than weed patches. The committee in charge of this splendid work are delighted with Hie results, very proud of the showing being made and will be glad if i itixens look the gardens over. Gene Tuuney, ex-champion of the prize ring is being touted as a Democratic candidate for United States senator from Connecticut. He might win and he might make a good record. However his training does not exactly recommend him for his "licks” are not the kind that will bring peace and prosperity and Gene would probably learn that prize fighting was a kid’s game compared to politics. The voters will be interested this year in plain and direct talk more than in words. In previous campaigns, the prater who could tear the most feathers out of the eagle's tail, was the popular one but we have reached a crisis in the depression and the voter wants to know what the plans are. Franklin D. Roosevelt is going to tell them and is planning to come to the middle west soon to make a speech. We believe he will convince those who hear him. The United States Census Bureau shows that in the East-North Central States, which includes Indiana, for the year 1931, 265,000 persons moved from the city back to the farm as against 217,000 w j went to the city. This made a ne‘ gain for the farm of 48,000 persons. The total gain of the farm population in these same states for the year 1931 amounted to 84,000 persons. The Census Bureau found that for the entire United States in 1931, 1,679,000 persons moved from the cities back to the farm, as against 1,472,000 who went to the cities. This made a net gain for the farms of 207,000 persons. The total farm population for 1931 increased 648,000 persons. o * RLA DIO PROGRAM Thursday's 5 Best Radio Features | Copyright 1932 by UP.

story of a hardboiled newspaper scribe. With time pressing the casting of this picture turned into a last minute scramble for players. Columbia was persuaded to lend Constance Cummings to take the feminine lead opposite Joel McCrea. Another frantic

call to M. G. M. garnered Robert Young for an important part. In the comedy lead, you'll find your old friend, Benny Rubin, who has been playing hookey from Hollywood for many months now. David Selznick has had cameramen at all the recent Olynjpic tryouts to get atmospheric shots for “Sport Page.” The first work with the cast begins today under the direction of Casey Robinson. Wildest of all Hollywood premieres was the opening of "Strange Interlude," Eugene O’Neill's famous drama of Asides. Pushing his way into the theater after three strenuous hours at the mike, Jimmie Durante exclaimed: “Seems like a lot of fuss just to hear a bunch of actors speak their minds.” BOULEVARD GOSSIP: Another near-unknown is on the verge of getting a contract with Samuel Goldwyn. She is Phyllis du Barry, English actress, who has been playing out here in a musical called “Hullabaloo.” Miss du Barry, whose name is to be changed, has taken a teat and Goldwyn holds an option on her services. She is a brunette and has done a number of musical comedy leads in Australia. Rumor is, the producer wants her for one of the parts in “Cynara.” Was it the spirit es “Laugh,

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE "W7 HERE is Everett now? ” asked the District Attorney. “We have him under close I observation.” “Then why shouldn’t we get him ! up here right now," proposed ' Dougherty with an energetic swing 1 of his powerful right arm. “He I won’t quibble with me. We’ll put ! the facts right up to him and ” 1 But Dougherty never did finish I that sentence. The door had opened and Captain Israel Henry came to attention at the Commissioner’s 1 desk. “Excuse me, sir, but there’s is a gentleman and a lady outside who want to speak to you. They say their names are Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Quires.” “Send them right in!” said Thatcher Colt As we waited for Captain Henry to lead in these unexpected callers, our thoughts were busy with many expectations. More than twentyfour hours had passed since Edgar Quires received his sister’s frightened message. During that interval. Christine Quires had been muri dered! Where had Quires been? With a firm and confident tread Edgar Quires walked into the office of the Police Commissioner. He was older than the dead girl by at least ten years; he had a large, -ugged face, with the reddish complexion of a sportsman out of training—a chow of a man, Colt said. His eyes were blue and his hair and mustache reddish, suggesting a mutation of the voluptuous gold Pair of Christine, The brother was wearing an immense brown fur overcoat, and held in his hand a derby hat I would have said he was a prepossessing and prosper-ous-looking man. Beside Edgar Quires stood his wife, a large pale and nervous woman in a mink coat and a fashionable hat For a moment, no one spoke. Captain Henry closed the office door and in the silence I could hear the ticking of the watch on the wrist of the Police Commissioner. It was Edgar Quires who broke I the silence. “Well, Mr. Colt," he said at last, “will you kindly tell me what is wanted?” I brought two chairs forward and Colt invited them to be seated. “I may say," added Edgar Quires, “that I do not have the slightest idea of why I am here, why I seem to be In the custody of the police, or why 1 have been refused any information whatever by the detectives who brought me here and who have acted with the most overbearing complacence toward Mrs. Quires and myself." Here Mr. Edgar Quires cast an Indignant glance around him. including the Commissioner, the District Attorney and myself in the wrathful sweep of his blue eyes Mrs. Quires looked loftily at the I ceiling. “You don’t know what has hap- I 1 pened then?” asked Colt with quiet ■ seriousness. “I have not the faintest idea to i what you refer or what has hap--1 pened," Edgar Quires vigorouslv r. 1 turned. I Colt did not immediately inform 1 him of the facts, for that would 11

have been a cardinal blunder. Instead he turned inquisitor. "Did you receive a telegram from your sister yesterday’” “I did!” “Would you mind telling me what that telegram contained?” “Is my sister in any trouble?” “Answer my questions—please!” I do not understand why you wish to pry into my private and family affairs. However, you are the police and it is to be assumed that you have some good reason. Very well, then. Against my wishes, my sister had been dabbling in the stock market. Her affairs got to be very entangled. She had even borrowed on her future inheritance. She considered that she was in danger of being sold out She asked me to come to her assistance. I of course, was willing to do that—although I made up my mind that it would have to be the last time; it was by no means the first time she had appealed to me. 1 decided to come to New York and go over I W ' th her Mrs ' Quizes and I took a train down.
