There are numerous arguments favorable to such a plan and it does seem that all the work could be done in that time ‘ and that one-sixth more men could be employed. It may be the proper solution to the present unemployment situation. Any way it won't hurt to get the data. The new law which returns halt the gasoline and license money to the counties will mean that Adams , county will receive from that source between $125,000 and $150,000 pet year. Under the act no levies can be made for construction or main- ■ tainence but the money received from the new source can be used for construction, maintainence and I repair. It is pleasing news that the school board has renewed a threeyear contract with Martin F. Worthman to act as superintendent ot tlie city schools. Prof. Worthman has headed the schools here many years and several thousand boys and girls have been guided in the years most important in their . lives by this good man. He is an earnest and capable worker and every student who has attended school under him. loves Dim. The school board has made no mistake. A series of six regional party organization meetings covering the entire state has been announced by R. E irl Peters, chairman of the Democratic state committee, for the afternoons and evenings of August 18th, 19th and 20th. These meetings, according to Mr. Peters,

Roosevelt who 1 will be the first lady of the land , after March 4. 1933, if her husband ' is elected president on November 8, is a busy woman. She has the typical Roosevelt energy. Mrs. Roosevelt is vice-principal of the Todhunter school in New York, where she teaches American history and English literature three days each week. She also runs the Vai Kill furniture factory where reproduction of early American furniture are made to give work to the unemployed. She has reared her own five children and now she has accepted the editorship of a magazine devoted to the care of babies. Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. The Reppert Auction School is in the midst of the summer session with a very good enrollment and wit it the staff ready to give them the lessons that will prove of great value if properly used. This school l as been in operation many years and many of the leading auction salesmen of the country are proud of the diplomas received here. Col. Fred Reppert who heads the institution is nationally known and has a record equalled by few men in his line. The staff includes a number of great auctioneers and every student here by applying himself the next three weeks will find just what he needs to prepare him for his future work. To the students we extend a welcome and we assure them they will be well received and courteously treated by the people of this community. Up to this week the senate has passed forty-nine bi'.ls and the house fifty-two, which ought to alM»ut~cover the situation. However they are still working and will probably continue to do so until midnight of the lath, which is the ; forty day limit. It would be fine if they could conclude the next fewdays but that seemed more doubtful today than the first of the week. It is conceded by every one now that the tax payers will be saved thousands of dollars but of course along with that about every form of improvement will have to be curtailed for the present. Whether that is good or bad and whether or not it meets approval of the people after due consideration, remains to be seen. There is however this to remember, that its easie rto go up and than down. o r~RADIO PROGRAM 1 Wednesday's 5 Best Radio Features C opyright 1932 by United Press WABC —CBS network 4 p. m. — Vaugh De Leath and Orchestra WJZ —NBS Network 4:45 p. m.— Lowell Thomas.

By HARRISON CARROLL. Copyright, 1132, King Features Syndicate. Inc. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 00.— With the camera imbedded in a pit on the edge of the arena, Universal has just shot the first close-ups ever made of a bull-

fight. These scenes, or as many of them as will pass the censors, are to be woven into “The Man Without Fear," LewAyres’ next picture for the Carl Laemmle studio. In order to secure these authentic thrills. Universal sent Tom Kilpatrick to Spain, where he finally was able to secure

I Lew Ayres

special permits from the authorities. Scenes already have been made at the bullring in Madrid, and Kilpatrick plans to augment them with similar closeups of the famous Seville arena. For this film Lew Ayres will assume the romantic role of a young Spanish matador. The stern training, the courage of the bull-fighter are to be emphasized in the treatment of the character. Pending Kilpatrick's return. Lew and his wife, Lola Lane, are taking a vacation. And they insist there’s no truth in those rumors about the stork. Newest story to go the rounds is about the aging broker who fell for a blonde cutie. Sizing him up as easy pickings, she had her sweetheart steal a snapshot of Iyer sitting in the old rake’s lap. The next day the sweetheart showed up at. the broker’s office. ‘‘Minnie’s going into the photograph business,” he said, “she wants you to help her.” “What’s the idea?” scoffed the broker. “There’s no money in that.” “Yeah.” said the sweetheart, holding out the picture. “Take a look at this. Now will you help her?” The old boy’s face broke into a big smile. “That’s me!” he cried.

"Murder h-NightClubLad)l THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY I xn BY ANTHONY ABBOT r|

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN IT was a glib story. But then, Vincent Rowland was a glib personality. Everything about him had a polished ring of insincerity. In my own mind 1 could not decide whether to believe his explanation or not. Nor could I tell how his account had registered with Thatcher Colt. For the Police Commissioner began a machine-gun fire of crossexamination that took the attorney completely by surprise. He had not suspected Colt’s mastery of the deadly art of inquisition. Had Rowland known anything about scorpions? Had he any fear of Doctor Baldwin? Did he know a man by the name of Ricardo Villafranca ? “Why were you late in starting out last night?” “Late?” “Yes! Christine and Guy Everett went to the Lion’s PaW. Originally you planned to go with them. You told us that at the Mayfair. Why didn’t you all go together?” “I don’t know ” “Don’t quibble. You had that quarrel here. Chung told us that. What were you quarreling about?” Vincent Rowland shrugged his shoulders. “I have told you that. I warned her that she was going to get herself in trouble. As a matter of fact,” and here the old attorney cleared his throat as if resolved to tell the truth and shame the devil, “she made demands on me for a large loan. I knew it was blackmail, and I resented it as such.” “That makes it look worse!" cried Dougherty. “I had every motive in the world to kill Lola,” agreed Vincent Rowland placidly. “But I didn’t do it. I had no motive to kill the others. And I didn’t do that, either.” “We are not proceeding as directly as I intended, but we are obtaining facts, nevertheless,” observed Thatcher Colt with a faint smile on his tanned face. “There remains the reconstruction of Lola’s murder. If we can do that accurately, I think the case can be definitely solved. I mean by that, we shall be able to prove conclusively the guilt of the killer.” Here his eyes traveled slowly from Guy Everett back to Vincent Rowland. “You two gentlemen,” he said, “have acknowledged that circumstances point suspicions at you. Yet you both very properly insist that we complete our case before accusing you. | “Then what is our case? “We are all familiar with what happened outwardly last night. The District Attorney reached here last night in company with the police. Although we did not know it, Christine Quires was already dead and suspended from a flag-pole support outside Lola's window. None of us could have known that. Where, meanwhile, was her assassin? 1 "Remember, gentlemen, that her assassin was still near the scene, ready to strike again.

“And, curiously, a letter had been | written warning of that impending I stroke. “The reason for the writing of ' that letter is one of the main clues in this case. At no time has that lever been out of my mind. The same is true of the killing of the dog and the parrot. If there was no logical reason for those things, if they were caprices of the killer, nevertheless they were important be- | cause they betrayed a psychological condition. If we understand that condition, we shall then be that much nearer to the guilty one. The reasons for the deaths of the dog and parrot are simple enough—the murderer was experimenting with the scorpions to be sure they could kill. But what reason could there be for the note of warning? It must be found in the twisted brain of the killer. It betokened a motive that was deeper and darker than mere expediency. It meant malice, the desire to inflict suffering, fever, torment, horror—and a vast egotism that is a concomitant of such hatred, an egotism that will despise safety itself. Therefore, I felt from the beginning we were dealing with a crime of revenge.” , The doorbell rang. At the sound lof it, Thatcher Colt’s face lighted up. It was as if all this time he had been playing for time, waiting for the coming of an important It was indeed a messenger from Police Headquarters, none other than Captain Israel Henry, the sil-
