About one more round of leaf collecting and the annual nuisance will be eradicated. It won't be long now until we’ll be worrying about the snow. U —o This week is the last call for contributions for the annual Community fund driye. You give for more than a half dozen worthy causes all at one time. The fund is still several thousand dollars short but those in charge are still hopeful of reaching the 313,400 goal. Have you given your fair share? o—o Each year new features are added to the local ParentTeachers association fall festival scheduled for Wednesday night at Decatur high school gymnasium. This year is no exception, and you are invited to attend. Proceeds of the event go toward financing the parent - teacher .group's annual program. o—o When you go to the polls tdvote next November 6. remember that the New Deal laws, including the social security, federal deposit insurance and countless other federal laws which Republicans hated so much are still laws after three years of GOP rule. Apparently they weren’t so bad after all. Vote straight Democratic and be safe. o o— — One county employe, according to city police record, has refused to comply with the city parking meter ordinance. All others comply with the ordinance. It seems obvious if this employe's auto were towed away at the owner’s expense, three or four times, the chronic violator would realize that ordinances were made for everyone. One rotton apple in the barrel often spoils the whole barrel unless it is removed. • o o In all the excitement over the election. Halloween, and the nearness of Christmas, don’t forget that next Monday is the deadline for paying the fall installment of taxes, and while they're pretty high, just remember that they’ll be lower next year and they’re lower here this year than in most Indiana counties, thanks to the Democratic Commissioners and Democratic County Council. Vote .straight Democratic.

SYNOPSIS r Connie Bartons suspicions were! aroused by her husband’s clumsy excuses tor his regular Wednesday night absences. She trailed Steve to a pnvate dance studio and then realized he was taking dancing lessons as a pleasant surprise for her. Keeping herself unnoticed. Connie watched the door of the studio till Steve left, and went in sot a private word with his teacher. She found the instructor. Anita Farrell, sprawled on the floor —shot dead. In the corpse's hand was a paper silhouette of herself. Contused. Connie's first thought was to cover up for Steve. She grabbed the silhouette and the appointment book at the unattended reception desk outside and went home to confront Steve. She had to believe bis assertions of his innocence. Police promptly got the names of all Miss Farrell's pupils and began checking to identify the 7 p. m. Wednesday waltzer. When Lieut. Bolling asked Steve Ills lesson time. Steve said 3 o’clock Saturday. From the stolen appointment book Steve took the lesson time of a Ralph Tolley, whom Bolling hasn't contacted—yet. Using the name Hester Frost, and with a plan in mind to save Steve. Connie gets ap Interview with Olivet Bell, the proprietor of the dance school. She lands a teaching Job. CHAPTER 8 "Tdon’t actually remember this 1 Waltzer,” said Mr. Bell. "But When I interviewed him I accepted him as a normal human being who sincerely wished to improve his dancing, not as a monster who was using my school to meet attractive young women. Being a most attractive young lady yourself, I’m sure you appreciate my desire to protect my teachers.” "Oh, I do, Mr. Bell.” I wondered if the monster was still asleep or if he had started worrying about me. "Are the police getting close to him?” “Unfortunately, he had the cunning to steal our engagement book and none of the staff can remember at the moment who Miss Farrells seven o’clock pupil was. But the police are working on our bookkeeping records and, by a system of elimination, they will soon figure out who it is." “I hope bo,” I said, but unfervently. "This tragedy has naturally thrown us into a turmoil. But the police expect to cause us very little inconvenience. They know who the killer isl and-it is simply a matter of. finding him. They are anxious to have us go on here as if nothing had happened. Now, Hester . . .” "Yes, Mr. Bell?” "I hope I have put your mind —at ease, because --I am going to aek you to do something at which a person of less character might balk.” "I’ll try not to balk.” “I am anxious that our usual schedule be interrupted as little os possible. I wantrall my teachers to take their regular pupils. Therefore I am asking you to •ake Miss Farrell s place.” “Oh,” I said. I tried not to G.vund pleased that I had accomplished xajt.mission. So I saidit again, working in just- a touch of i distaste. | "Oh,” I said. "Does that upset you, my dear ? I believe that I can assure you that the Waltzer will not return to the scene of his crime.” / i "I’m not upset,” I said, | Wc then discussed terms. That ■ is, Mr. Bell told me what my pay i wab to be. He gave rjie some . From the Dodd, Mead & Co. novel. Coj » . j. ■

f fatherly advice, some professipnal ' tips and a rather timid pat on the back. He pressed a button on his desk and in a moment the door swung open. The receptionist said, "Yes, Mr. Bell?” "Leone, this is Hester Frost Hester, Miss Leone Webb.” "How do you do, pleased to meet yoti,” we girls said to each other. “Leone," Bell said, •‘will you help IJester to become acclimated? She is one of us now. She’s taking Anita Farrell's place. Show her tp Studio K and explain . . , well, everything, please.” — — —-—- - - I saw the receptionist’s shoulders stiffen and her head move in protest, but Mr. Bell was already attacking a stack of correspondence. We had been dismissed. Leone Webb looked silently at him for a moment, then beckoned to me. I followed her. She led me to the locker room and assigned me to a locker. She was no small - talker; she was brisk and efficient. She took me through the reception room and down the hall that led to the door marked Studio K. She pushed it open. I closed my eyes for a second. Yesterday these mirrored walls had shown a thousand figures crumpled on the shining floor, had reflected a thousand blouses growing crimson. Now they mirrored nothing but more mirrored walls. The room was bare, cold and impersonal. I was suddenly cold, too, with a seeping wave of fright. Perhaps I had been wrong to do this. Perhaps I should have told Steve my plan, so he wouldn’t have let me do it. Leone said, “Is something wrong?” ■ "No, it’s nothing. I’m a little nervous, about teaching.” “The first day is tough. After that, you’ll enjoy it, I’m sure/’ She stepped past me through the doorway and moved quickly across the studio. She stopped before a row of sniall black dials. Above them was a black grilled loud speaker, below them, in a niche, a telephone. “The music is piped in here,” she said. “This dial is for foxtrot, this for rhumba, this for waltz, this is for samba.” She touched another dial. "You control the volume here. You understand ? ” . : . “Yes,” I said. "The telephone is an inside one . . . it’s connected to my desk. If you should need any help, if there’s anything you want to know about, call me. Don’t hesitate, it’s my job to help you. All right now?” "All right,” I said, “and thanks.” -She started for the door, then turned back. “One more thing, and please don’t be offended, if I were you, I’d tone down my lipstick a littje. You look a bit too provocative.” » I doubted that, so I didn’t waste any timetakingher advice. I barely waited for her to close the door before I started my in-, spcction of the studio. 1 looked first for a concealed door, a camouflaged window.

A. Yes, the established custom. In other words, after Joyce Margaret Reynold marries William Henry Lyons, she then becomes Joyce Reynolds Lyons. Q. When a man and girl are dining in public and another couple stops at their table for a few words, should the man and girl rise? „ A. The man rises, but the girl remains seated. Q. Is it proper to abbreviate the date on a business letter, such as 10-30-56? A. No; the date should be written out, as October 30, 1956. O o Household Scrapbook ( BY ROBERTA LEI O Blackheads A treatment for blackheads is to use soap and water freely. Gently massage a thick lather on the face, and when it has dried rinse off thoroughly. The larger blackheads can be pressed out with the fingers, using care not to bruise the flesh. Then sponge the skin with witch hazel. This treatment should be daily. Candles The grease of the candles will not drip down the side if they are given a coat of white varnish and put away to dry for several days. They will also last twice as long. Removing Cake Crust If you ever burn the crust on a cake you’re baking, remove the crust with a grater rather than with a knife. COURT NEWS Cause Continued The complaint for damages by Gerald Kramer against Gerald Williams has been continued on motion of the plaintiff.

searched for a crevice large enough for an arm to reach through, then for a hole large enough for a bullet to enter. Foot by foot, inch by inch, I went over the gleaming walls. There was nothing. There was no way for a murderer to enter this place except through the stu* dio’s only door. Once again I had proved con* clusively to myself that only Steve could have murdered Anita FarreU. Yet my new career began; I was a teacher of the dance. But I didn’t let that interfere with my mission at the school While I waltzed and fox-trotted, rhumbaed and sambaed, I delved into the life of the late Anita FarrelL Each of her ex-students was, of course, full and overflowing with the killing. They talked readily about Anita, but it was just a kind of macabre ode to the departed. rT'T'W-t; “. . . what a girl, too bad." . that Waltzer, I’d sure like to get my hands on him.” ——- “. . . beautiful, exciting young lady, remarkable person.” . brother, she had some* thing.” None of the gentlemen seemed really to know anything about her. Apparently Anita hadn’t discussed her private life during business hours. None of these students had got to know her well but, for academic acquaintances, they certainly were a fan club. During my rest and lunch hour, I neither lunched nor rested. I tried to locate Steve by phone. He wasn’t at home. He had been in and out of the office several times, but nobody knew where he was at the moment. Hoping he wasn’t too worried about me, I went back to the grind. By late afternoon I was on the ropes. At two I had had a two hundred and fifty pound fox-trot-ter who was dancing to reduce. It was I who did the reducing. Then, in succession, I had two young athletes who thought that dancing was something you did to win. I lost Rapidly I was becoming a stretcher case. Then, while I was working on my final pupil of the afternoon session, an enthusiastic, cubeshaped pixie named Ed, I saw something that might turn out to be my first break. Ed was so' short that the top of his pointed little head tickled me under the - chin. He held me so tight that my head was forced up and back, so that I was looking at the ceiling. It was uncomfortable, It was painful... then, suddenly, it was fine. It was, perhaps, the answer to my prayer. In the center of the ceiling was a three-foot square- of grillwork. It was evidently the ventilator for this windowless room. I couldn’t see through the grill. I couldn’t see if there was space enough above it for a person to crouch, to aim a revolver, to shoot a dancing teacher who stood below. But it might bo possible; it had to be possible. BUT IS it possible? Connie’s suspicions take a new turn in tomorrow’s exciting installment of “The Blonde Died Dancing.” Kelley Rooa C 1956 by Kelley Ro-a,
