The enemy will betray hl* presence and indent ity In many other ways, but sometimes he work* «o secretly that fever give* the first and only signal that help Is needed. Diagnosis Hard In these canes, the doctor’s job Is likely to be diffi 'ult. Ho know/ that the battle is joined but is unable tv identify the masked and bidden foe and until be docs, be can do UUle to aid. One of these conditioue la what is known as po-tnasal Inßw-tion. Thia la an Infection In Um- back ■part of the nose. However, a careful examination of the alausc*. including the u«e of X-ray aed what is known as transillumination may help ebow when the dlfflfctiity is located In these arses. Traudllumiaultoii Is carried oni by putting the patient tn a dark room and shining a light through the sluuac*. If there in Infection In the sinuses, the prunonce of secrations or thickening of the membrane* will keep the light from passing through. Os course, many/people know that tuberculosis may be present for some time without causing no- - liveable symptoms other than a slight rise in tempwalre purlieu- i larly in the afternoon. According < to Dr. F. Kenneth Albrecht of Florida, au early 41a«wU qf ip- I berculoala requires the taking of i

Dude ranching, for those who can afford it, is one u( the healthiest forms of vacation there are Horseback riding Is an unequalled exercise, and Its pleasure Is enhanced by the picturesque scenery in which the Western dude ranches lie. Part of the popularity of this camparutively recent form of enjoying a holiday may come from the fait that it realties for many people a secret ambition of boyhood, to be a cowboy. —o The Kraft Foods Company, realizing the seriousness of the food situation, has sent out a bulletin from tb»- Department of Agriculture. which urges farmers to grow »ufll< lent feed for their milk cows. Hays the bulletin. "The nation Is far behind on milk requirements and there are Indications that the shortage may be even more pronounced next fall and winter, unless strenuous efforts are made to raise production of milk from every cow in the herd. This brings an urgent need for farmers to plan on more grains from their own farms more silage aud more high quality bay.** -0 Presidential Terms:Th«- old question of limiting the president’* term to six years without reelection Is up again. House Republicans are backing such a <<>n«tltutl(>n.il amendment. The question goes back to the Lunstitutioual Convention of 1787. One of the most debated questions in that body wag the length of the presidential terms. For a good part of the deliberations the solution favored was a single sev-en-year term The present rule of four years, with no ban on any number of reelections, was adopted at the last moment. Attempts to secure a one-term presidency have been many, almost always pushed by the minority party of the tune. The Democrats in the days of Grant ami In the early part of Taft s terin favored the idea, and their 1912 platform contained such a plank Th<- objection that carries the most weight is the unwisdom of keeping out of the White House the man who may be the best qualified. Just because he lias already been president. The opponents of the otic-term idea Include two men who, as public official- and as Interpreters <4 the Constitution, rank with the topmost. They are Woodrow Wilson and Alexander Hamilton.

Chicago. April 34 tl'l’l—Walt er Reuther, president of the CIO' united automobile workers union, drew support from the leaders of Detroit locals today in his feud, with UAW vice president R J ' Thomas. Fifteen local presidents wire called here from Detroit in an <-fl ort to restore harmony among members of the L’AW executive board. Most of the Detroit presidents reportedly were supporter* of Reuther, who unseated Thomas us union president at the I'AW con , vention last month. Among them was Ed Coty, president of local 174. to which Reuther once be longed.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO NEAL WAS next In importance. "I bet she and not Margot Ingalls made Deane stay behind." Claire ventured. “She wanted Thursday night for Valente. And Deane would have been in the way." I couldn't picture Die dignified Tonlo Valente in the role of Neal’s iover, and said sa But Claire insisted: “Sure he's a stuffed shirt, all out for law and order. But, well. I have a feeling he could be terrific if he let himself go. Sort of a crust of ice over smoldering lire, you know," Then she got up. stretched herself and said, with a prodigious yawn: "Ho-hum! What's the use of talking! Here we are, surrounded by a bunch of tall, good-looking men, and they're all looking in the direction of your red-beaded sister! So—me for bed and a good long aleep. And—you'd better do likewise." That was the end of Monday. I went to bed early, as Claire had suggested, and slept like the proverbial log. And would probably have slept until noon If Rosa hadn't come in at nine, with my breakfast tray. “Mtes Walling went to the office already," ahe told me while I was eating. "She said to let you sleep till now, and you should stay home and do your business from here. She can cope better without you. 'Cope*—does that mean the cops?" 1 swallowed a grin and explained the meaning of the word to her. And then I dressed, and settled down to a telephone orgy. Starting with a call to Dita and going on from there to talk with the office and business. Until a Uttle past 11, when Rosa appeared in my room again. Thia time to announce, "Inspector Barry just came, Mias Jane. And Mr. Kennard and that South American friend of Mias Neal's, too. They're all in the living room, waiting for you." The inspector had not brought his two charges to visit me, but Polly Wood fords, I found out when 1 greeted the trio a few momenta later. "I gave Woodford* permission to go to Hollywood and design the clothes for a movie. He leaves tomorrow, I think," Inspector Barry told me. “It’a unusual. 1 admit, when the inquest la only on Thursday. But he’s already made -his deposition for it and—l don't want him there. He'd turn It Into a farce with his silly mannerisms. Now I atm have to confront him with our

two friends here, to see If he can identify one of them as the man in the elevator. And 1 want you along to verify what be aays.” We found Polly's apartment In chaos when we walked in, followed by Dan Nolan, who had been waiting in the outer hall with his inevitable notebook. All the partitions were wide open, and the whole huge space was littered with Polly's personal belongings. Rows upon rows of milta were laid out on the enormous low bed in the sleeping quarters at the right Piles of shirts, pajamas, ties and other articles of masculine attire crowded every chair. Shoe? stood in rows on the floor. Ruitcases and bags gaped open on tables. And Polly was scuttling around ceaselessly among his redundance of possessions. Picking and choosing from here and there and putting bis choice into this or that bag—all to the accompaniment of a barrage of twitters. He stopped his packing abruptly when his Oriental factotum ushered us in, and faced Inspector Barry with defiant courage. But I noticed he seemed to have aged ten years since Friday, and his small eyes were red-rimmed from lack of sleep. "More! Always more questioning! What Is It this time?" he complained with much flapping and prancing. And when the Inspector had stated his errand he stalked around Deane and Tonlo Valente, stifflegged and bobbing like a crane, to decide in the end quite sensibly: "It could have been either of them. But—it also could have been you, Inspector, or your assistant. Dr. Berwick. You are all of the same height, and all have dark hair and wear gray hats. Please make them go down in the elevator, one after the other. Perhaps I can tell when I watch them from my door, Just as I watched the—er—other man in a gray hat last Friday." And so first Deane and then Valente went down in the elevator to the next floor and came up again. And at last, for good measure, Inspector Barry did the sama. Polly watched them carefully, cocking his head and plucking at his lips nervously with his small > hands in an agony of indecision And in the end concluded: "I don't . know. 1 don’t know! My dear Inspector Barry, do you not think I would like to say "This is the man! < or "That la not the man!' But 1 can’L The responsibility is too | great! 1 might free a murderer, or
