It is a good sign for the country to be building better schools to core tor more, children. - —o—‘ —-o - ■ ■ In discussing present-day problems, the Journal-Gazette editorialises on this country’s military program, stating, “We must find the way to remain militarily strong and at the same time economically strong. That poses some difficult problems, about which all citizens should be thinking, not as bitter political enemies, but as patriotic Americans who are all in the same boat.” o o In the effort to establish whether Germany or Russia killed 10,000 Polish officers in Katyn forest either in 1940 or 1941, a majority of those who have testified before a congressional con> mittee, believe that the Reds committed the mass murders. It must : have been a complete job, for as yet not a single person has been ' found or heard from who might have been marked for death, but ’ escaped execution. Bodies of several thousand men have been unearthed in the Russian forest, bqt eo far no press correspondent has found a man who escaped the purging of the Polish officers, one of the blackest episodes in World War 11.

Poor Posture So Very Often*. The Cause Os Many Backaches:

By USMAN It BUNDESEN, M.B. 1 IT la always Important to correct poor posture, which is one of the most common causes of backache. Slender people and . those who must do much stooping while they work run a special risk of developing poor posture and backache. The typical person with poor posture makes a too-famlliar pic-ture-protruding head, drooping, round shoulders and flat chest. The bent spine gives a more or less hump-back appearance, the small of the back curves in, and the abdomen takes on the potbelly profile. These people may also *'toe in” when they stand or walk. Extreme Types A person with all these defects has an extreme form of poor posture, but even these extreme types can develop, and such persons may be seen on our streets every day. Many people have habits of working or resting in poor postural positions that really work against the machinery of their A backache may be the body’s protest against such habitual abuse. An enlarged, protruding abdomen is another standing invitation to poor posture and backache. Such an extra burden pulls the back muscles down and forward with its weight. This is one of the reasons many pregnant women complain of severe backache. Most Common in Slender VPoor posture, is most common fti the adult person of slender build. A person with this structure has a tendency to over-ex-

An Englishman commented tn the Manchester Guardian that he considered French women to be tor better housewives than the women of hie own country. * Lator he wrote that the women of France have a great deal more grace and personal charm than the women of England. The latter statement drew down the wrath of his countrymen upon his hap* less head. Comparing the beauty and charm of the Women Os differ ent countries is always risky business. As for grace and personal charm, these are factors which come from inside. They! Spring from gentleness, goodness and breeding. Comparisons of these virtues in national groups are folish, tor no nationality has a monopoly on feminin/ beauty or charm. oo ' ' The Saar's Future:-— The Saar valley, rich In iron and coal, has long been desired by both Germany and France. German in population, it was ruled by France for a short time under Napoleon, and after the first world war was governed by a commission appointed by the League of (Nations; Its mines were given to France, to make -'.H i ■ good the German destruction, during the war, of the French mines. The district itself, however, was allowed to vote in 1934 on the question of its future and chose Germany rather than absorption in France! -•4| ! Frank M. Russell of Stanford University, who has been following the Saar question since 1919, publfetteda book, which carries the story down to the present day. He thinks that Germany is not likely to be reconciled 4 ito the loss of this rich territory, and that the Saar people suspect that the French would like to annex them. On the other hand, the • {French are managing the region much more tactfully, than they did during the League's control. 5 i i j| ’ Eventually Germany will |j probably regain the Saar. The operations of the Schuman plan for pooling French and German iron and coal under a supranational ad ministration may i jgutisfy the French, and reconcile them to loss of the Saar population.

tend the lower part of the back. The long, slender back cannot take the strain of an extra. load as well as that of the short, stocky type, and more often develops the defects that produce poor posture. Certain occupations hate spe-l dal hazards for the posture. These Include some of the professions, such as that of surgeon or dentist who spends long hours In stooped position. Many machinists also have this difficulty. 4 Poor posture and backache from bending over one’s work can often be relieved by placing a stool under one foot. Raising one foot straightens out the lower back and SO relieves the strains. Special Help ' « Sometimes the body needs special help in correcting posture difficulties, in such a case, a doctor can prescribe a light corrective brace and guided exercises. . A person with weak back muscles and poor posture should sleep on a firm mattress that does not sag, and use a single light pillow. if you have poor posture, see, your l doctor about thejproper’ things to do to correct It. You will be repaid tn the form of better health. i QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS L.’M. L.: Can you tell me what causes a ringing sound in my Answer: Ringing in the ears may be due to a number of cause*, such as anemia, kidney disease,' or an accumulation of wax in the ear, as well as to an infection in the tube connecting the ear with the mouth. . J/ It would. be advisable tojhave a physical examination made to determine the cause of this’ con<H«on. _

Anthrax Found In i I i | 1 [ J J ' Neighboring Area (i Disease Fatal To Hogs It Reported Anthrak, a usually fatal disease for bogs has been found in Allen, Wells, Wayne and Randolph counties, R. W. Elrod, state veterinar* lan, announced last evening from Indianapolis. ,| : So far no case of the swine disease has been reported from Adams county, one ot the large hog growing counties in northern Indiana. i ,4 The situation is not serious yet,” Dr. Elrod said, "but ft can get serious.” He said the disease may have been spread by Imported bone meal used in a commercial hog feed manufactured at Columbus, Ohio. Twelve Ohio state inspectors examined feed in tankage plants in that state yesterday. i H.B. Fount, Ohio state agriculture director, said the E. G. Buchseib division of Inland Products!, Inc., te co-operating by decontaminating its plant and calling back feed found to contain anthrax infection. Cases of anthrax have been report* Ud in 17 Ohio counties. Dr. Elrod said hogs that die from anthrax should be burned immediately. Local veterinarians are alerted to the situation. t ~M»dirn Etiquette ] I BY ROBERTA LEE —— « Q. Our widowed father'is marrying again. Is it proper for us, his children, to give them wedding presents? A. Failure to give your father’s hew wife a wedding gifj. would be extremely ungracious and tactless Either something for her home, or a personal gift, is appropriate. « Q.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE | BRIN stared hard at UddeH’s| warning tor a moment, then Shrugged. “Okay, so you’re calling my bluff. Let’s hear your proposition. n ’ !*I want Goldy. I want about forty-five minutes with her. You finger her for me, and Til clear you on the Lunfar killing.” Brin laid the .38 on the arm of hie chair, found a pack of cigarets in his jacket pocket. There was a thin film of perspiration on his upper lip. “Suppose you Walk in on Goldy and can’t walk out?” Liddell shrugged. “I Wasn’t figuring on living forever.” “How about me?” “You’re out of luck.” Liddell grunted. “Your part of the deal is to fix it so’B I see Goldy without having any trouble.” Brin wiped the perspiration off his Up, stuck a cigaret in his mouth. “You’ve got me in a box,” he growled. “If it ever gets out that I fingered her for you, my life won’t be worth a dime,” Liddell grinned. ’lt’s not worth a tenth of that now. Every cop in town is looking for you, and when they get yob, you’re due to be the queen of the dafiee hail at Sing J The cigaret in Brin’s mouth wavered crazily. “What makes you think they’ll believe you about the fingerprints?” , “Because if you go through with your end of the deal, Irll have the s real killer, all signed, sealed, and delivered,” Liddell told him. . “Well?” i . h “AO right I have no choice.” Brin moistened his lower lip with the tip of his tongue. “She’s hiding out in Chinatown. Ben Ceria’s taking case of her.” His hand shook noticeably. “It’s an old opium den behind the Fan Tan set-up. She Went undercover because she spotted you at the Breen the other night, knew you’d recognized her.” Liddell nodded. "Go on.” ' Brin shook, his head stubbornly. “That’s all I fingered Goldy for : you. That was our desk” • “Who’sJßossing this deal, Brin? Who’s behind the big racket?” The color drained out of the blond man’s face. He wiped his lips with the back of his hand, shook his head. “I’m not doing any more thlking. We had a deal, and. . ." A buzzer clicked somewhere. Brin reached fob the phone at his elbow, listened for a moment. He nodded jerkily. “I been trying to I reach you. AH right, I’H be right ; out.” He hung the receiver up. “I’D | be right back. LiddelL Wait here.’’

LiddeH nodded, leaned back, lit a cigaret. He was on bis second cigaret when the hunch that something had gone wrong becandra certainty. He stepped to the door, listened. There was no sound from the hall. He opened the door a crack, peered out. The hallway was deserted. He pulled the snub nosed .38 from his jacket, pocket, wished fervently he had his .45. There was nobody in the hallway when he stepped out. Softly he closed the door behind him, started down the hallway. He caught a flash of motion in the corner of his eye, saw a! door on the opposite side of the corridor open slowly. Liddell crouched back against the wall, waited. ’ Tim, Brin'S bodyguard, stepped through the open door, raised his arm. LiddeH caught a flash of metal in the subdued light, there was a whiz, then a thud as the knife bit into the wall near his head. ill Liddell squeezed the trigger twice. The .38 barked like a cannon in the confined space; Tim straightened up as though he were reaching for something. As he stretched upward to his fun height, Liddell fired again. The other man seemed to deflate, dropped as though his knees had been cut ffom under him. The surprised expression was sun on his face as he hit the floor. He didn’t move. There was a moment of complete silence, then .a moment of pandemonium. High pitched voices SCfeamed, heavier voices cursed, doors opened and slammed. There was still no sigh Os Hunt Brin. Liddell walked over to where Tim lay, looked into the room beyond. It was empty. Outside there was a pounding of footsteps on the stairs as the occupants of the bar below rushed up to investigate., Liddell stepped across Tim’s body, dragged it into the room, bolted the door after him. He tried the window, found it slid up easily, leaned out. There was an easy drop to the littered alleyway below, another open window a few ted away. He was about to drop to the alley when through the open window he saw a familiar figure. Hunt Brin was sitting in a chair with his back to the window. Liddell swung his leg over the sill, reached for the other window. He swung himself across the opening, landed in the other room. Hunt Brin sat there alone in the room, watching the door. LiddeH walked up behind him, caught him by the shoulder, i j

“Wouldn’t be waiting for me to stick my face in that door, would you, Brin ?” he asked. The man in the chair tilted forward, tut the floor face first. He lay there unmoving. Liddell was at his side, turned him over on his back. The old lazy smile was back on Brin’s face, but it looked permanent. His eyes were half open, his throat had been out almost ear to ear. It didn’t take an expert to detect that Hunt Brin could be depended upon to spiU no more of the gang's secrets. Outside in the hall were sounds of a growing tumult. There was a knock on the door. "Everything all right in there?” a voice demanded. “Os course,” said Liddell. Jhen he slid over the window sill, dropped to the alleyway and headed for Seventh Ave. and a cab. Johnny LiddeH walked slowly down a side street in Chinatown that had so far shucked the Occidental atmosphere that he might well have been walking down a street in the native quarter of Shanghai. Here were the stores that did not cater to tourists, where Chinese sold to Chinese, Where the merchandise was too exotic and sometimes too strong for the Occidental palate. 1 Here the tourist never penetrated and no other white man was to be seen on the street. The elderly Chinese shuffled by, their wrinkled faces placid, their pace unhurried. The younger Chinese seemed self-conscious and vaguely uncomfortable In their Western Clothes as they, too, adopted the traditional shuffle of the East. After walking several blocks, Johnny Liddell found what he was looking for. An elderly Chinese lounged against a doorway, his face calm, his eyes at rest. He regarded LiddeU incuriously as the private detective walked up to him. . “Where’s the game going on, Pop?” LiddeU asked. There was no change of expression in the wrinkled face. The old man, Shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, looked away. LiddeH eased a roll of bUls from his pocket, slid out a twenty. “Fan Tan. I want to play.” He told the old man. “There won’t be any trouble. I just want to know where they’re playing,” The Old man looked from Liddell to the twenty and back, grinned a toothless grin. “Who know?” he chattered. “You know,” Liddell told him. He added another twenty, let the old man sec. (To Be Continue*)

/ CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO THE OLD Chinese shook his head at LiddeH’s preferred bribe. “Me no know,” he shrugged his shoulders expressively, looked past Liddell as though he had lost interest. j LiddeU growled under his breath, decided on a last ditch try, fished Into his wallet, came up with the chit signed by Eddie Sung, “Me good friend Eddie Sung in Frisco,” LiddeH pushed the card under the old man’s nose. The old man grunted, looked away. | ' Liddell considered the advisability of pushing his way past the old man, realized the game might be blocks away through a maze of passageways, decided against it as futile, turned on his heel, walked oh. The old man gave no sign that he had noticed LiddeH had left. That the old man was an outside watcher for the game, LiddeH was convinced. That meant that the game was probably / running someplace within a five-block radius, he estimated, decided to check the restaurants in that area for the tell-tale “bank” table. He wandered in and out of three restaurants before he found the one he was seeking. At a large table, in the center of the floor, a group of round faced, uncommunicative Chinese were huddled around a huge pot in the center of the table. They w ould dip into the pot of steaming food, slop it onto their plate; hold the plate close to their mouths, shovel it in. No one at the table talked to anyone else. As soon as one diner was finished he would get up, leave without paying, his place immediately filled by another equally hungry, equally uncommunicative Chinese. Liddell walked over to the cashier, dropped a five, called for a pack of cigarets. The girl working the cash register had the finely boned features of a well born Chinese, over which had been superimposed the cosmetics, the slock coiffure, land the assurance of a

She slid the cigarets the Counter, dropped four ones and some change beside them. “Never mind the change/’ Liddell told her. ♦ The girl looked through long lashes, studied him Quizzically. “Seeing the sights," LiddeU explained He indicated the round table of mein. “They must beifrom the Fan Tain game I've been, nearing about.”! 1 The girl loooked past him to the table, nodded, “perhaps.” Liddell broke open the pack of cigarets. | “WeH, you’re certainly not running a mission here. Nobody at tii at table seems to pay for anything.” 1 “We are] paid for everything served at that table,” the girl told him. “Some of those men may be Fan Tan players, but most are unfortunates. Their food is paid; for.” Liddell'filing the cigaret from the corner, of his mouth. “Home relief?" He took a wooden match from the container on the counter, scratched it, applied it to the cigaret. “Our less fortunate citizens need not look to outsiders for aid,” the girl told him coldly. "There are no Chinese beggars. The Fan Tan banks sec to it that all unfortunates may eat. It is tradition.” Liddell locked impressed. “That’s wonderful. I’d like to see this Fan Tan being played. Know where the game’s going on ?” The girl shrugged 1 . “I do' not know But 1 do not think you twill be able to see the game.” “Why not?” “It is for Chinese only. Americans are net welcome in the gaming room.” She pushed the bills and change to him. “It is foolish and a waste of tin|ie trying to bribe somebody to get you! in. It would be impossible, maybe very dangerous.” ■ ’ ; j Liddell shrugged. “It was just an idea.” He pushed the money back across the Counter. “Consider ♦ hat a contribuljion toward the unfortunate” b

For the first time the girl smiled. “Thank you.” She picked up the bills, folded them, put them in the slot of a large jar marked with Chinese figures. “In here it wiH be used to Relieve the suffering of unfortunates to China. Qver here, we need no help to taking care of our own.” She turned, busied herself with an open ledger. In the street again, LiddeU debated the advisability of waiting for one of the men at the Fam Tan table to leave, then following him, decided against it He smoked his cigaret irritably, wondering how he was going to crash the gate, and get to Goldy and Ceria to the old opium den beyond the game room. ; * He was soi deep in thought*' he failed to notice the young Chinese who sidled up to him. “LiddeH?” he asked huskily. , LiddeH startled, looked at the speaker He was taller than the average Chinese, dressed in western clothes, had the same expressionless countenance as the others, “I’m Liddell. Why?” “You have been trying tn an important member of our community. He has returned earfler than was expected and is anxious - to have conversation with vou.** the Chinese told him. “Kaiming?” i, . The other man nodded. “He is now available. If you have no more pressing business, ho would like you to drop by his office.” Liddell tossed his cigaret toward the curb. Wonderful. He may be just the man I want to see.” Johnny Liddell walked through the unmarked door next to the Chinese grocery, into the dustv vestibule. He talked up the rickety stairs to the paint peded door above, stepped through, way glass door. After a moment ; 'L C^ k <* thc U '° T sUeacc and the door swung open.
