Appropriately, national engineers week also is observed simultaneously with the birthdates of Washington and Edison. «—o o We now have Dr. Gov. Handley’s perscription for a sick state. It's his baby and what attitude the people will taka remains to be seen. One thing is certain. The control of the Indiana government is in the hands of the Republican party, and what happens will be entirely and completely a G.O.P. baby. o ■ o Most of the mid-winter sales featured in Decatur stores 1 the last several weeks are over, but that doesn't mean bargain days are over. Read the advertisements in each issue of the Dally Democrat and take advantage of the many offers of Decatur stores constantly.

The public has been invited to the Sunday night service of the • First Christian church, at which time, toe beautiful new Baldwin electric organ purchased through pledges of members of the local church, will be appropriately dedicated. A musical recital, featuring three local members and toe new organ has been announced. The people of this community have been asked to share with c members of the' Christian church their happy hour of dedication. —...0 The days of maintenance of a large lodge home, with revenues limited, is coming to an end and toe Knights of Pythias lodge in Decatur recognises that fact. The local lodge will soon propose to sell its large home on Third street and purchase another building, possibly with revenue facilities. We are glad to know that the, proposal also indicates that toe lodge will continue to operate, at - least on a limited scale, because the K. of P. Lodge is one of the < pioneers in Decatur lodge history. We join their many friends in wishing the Knight of Pythias many years of continued success in toe operation of their organization. o o The bienniel budget for Indiana, still far out of proportion when compared with what we get for our money, has been trimmed down by the Republicans to S7OO million from the original vast *790. Now is the entrance time for Gov. Handley with his money saving, tax reducing proposals, which he has so carefully guarded. He'd be "quite a guy if he’d really come some suggestions which would drastically reduce the budget, but don't hold your breath, because Mr. Handley is from the old school of "promise the people anything, but be careful what you give them" policy of long standing among Hoosier Republicans. Yes sir. Mr. Taxpayer, if we get out of this General Assembly with our shirt, or even our tie, we’ll be fortunate.

Is it proper for a girl’s father to ask his prospective son-in-law how much money he earns? A. Although this was the standard from of procedure in days of yore, today’s father is hot quite so blunt about asking for this information.

If one receives an invitation to a cocktail party written on an informal card, and no reply is requested, should one reply anyway? - A. Unless “R.s.v.p.” is on the invitation, it is not necessary to reply. <J. Should bridge prizes be wrapped’or left open? A. It is much better to wrap them attractively. ; : j i I- nr '■ —***' COURT NEWS Real Estate Transfers Phoebe E. Miller to Charles W.

CHAPTER 34 CASSON took a taxi to Mrs. Gunn’s. He sat by the window in ius bedroom, coarn smoking. His mind moved in hot, narrow orbits of impatience. In a spasm of lucidity be recognized that the chase exacted its price from the hunters as well as from the bunted. The two plain-clothes policemen were at their stations m the street. Then Perry came out The policeman in Kerry’s rear made a signal with his hand. Casson leaned forward. A black Wolseley car began to crawl down the street. As it approached Perry, it jerked to an abrupt stop by the curb and two plain-clothes men got out of the back. They spoke to Perry. One of the officers nodded his head toward the car. Perry looked at the car, then back down the street. He stumbled into the car. The doors slammed and it skidded away from the curb, accelerating rapidly down the street. The pick-up had been swift, discreet, and irresistibly efficient. Its psychological effect on the victim should have been considerable. Casson walked leisurely through the hot dusk to the Chiswick police station. He was no longer impatient. In the station hall he met Bentley. The young constable was wearing a tweed coat and grey flannel trousers. “By the way,” said Casson, “what are 1 you doing here in mufti? Have they put you into the C.I.D. ?” 'mg Bentley laughed a happy, healthy laugh. “No, sir. I came in to see the fun.” Superintendent \Jfeldon nodded to “Strutt's with Perry.” Casson smoked half a cigarette before Strutt entered. He and Casson looked at each other in silence, each knowing what lay in the balance. “Your turn,” said Strutt. “How Is he?” "Scared stiff. But sullen. Moaning for a lawyer.” Strutt leered. “How long have we got him?" “TUI tomorrow.” “How did you pick him up? Not on a warrant for murder?”

“No. Loitering with intent. Being a suspicious person.” "And he goes tomorrow?” "See here, Cass. If we don’t get a confession by tomorrow morning we never will. By then ne'U know the strength ot our hand. He’ll know were bluffing. He’ll know we can never pin it on mm. He’ll leave here a free and happy man, the little swine.” "Shall 1 go to him now?” "As you wish.” Strutt nodded to the constable leaning against the door ot a cell. He umocKed. Casson walked in. The door slammed behind him. Perry stared at him in amazement. Color flooded into his face. His eyes lit up. Then the color ebbed and the line of the mouth sagged. The eyes went dull. “What are you doing here?" he said, looking away. Casson sat down on the other of the two chairs. “I saw them arrest you add 1 came to see what had happened. What have you done ?” “You came to help?” He turned eagerly. "What’s the matter?" ' “You came to help. You must get me a lawyer. Policemen are afraid of lawyers. He must get me out of here.” "But what are you In for?” . “I don’t know. Two .policemen jumped out ot a car and asked me if 1 was a man called John Beilamon or some name like that. When I said 1 wasn’t, they said I’d have to prove it.” “But what was this Beilamon wanted for?" “Burglary. They asked me all sorts of questions about my collection. How did I get it? Where did I get the money? They told me ) needn’t answer the questions it I didn t want to. And they always came back to the point about where 1 got the money.” Casson lit a cigarette. "Where did you?” Perry haa been looking down at htt hands. His head jerked up. “What?" “Where did you get the money ?’* “I told you. I have a private income.” •Oh, yes. Os course. So you did. I’ve always thought It an admirable Joke,” Casson went on, “for a humble employee of a bank

to extract a thousand pounds from one of its directors.” Perry’s face nad gone ashen. “I don’t undersiane you.” Perry was staring fixedly at Casson. "Are you a policeman?” ha asked and his voice sounded as though it were being twisted in his throat -Lord, no," Casson replied. “But you are a journalist? Like you told me?” “To some extent Yes.” “Then you came here for a story ?'* “Understanding dawns,” Casson said. *T did conic here for a story. I came for your story, John Perry.” “My—my story? I haven't got one." “Shall we say, then, that I came for tne story of Mr. Bagot?” Perry rose to his feet and began walking up and down the cell. Casson let him walk for nearly a minute. Then he yawned and said: “Do stop it, my dear ehap. You sound like a prisoner in the condemned cell." Perry stopped abruptly, facing the door. Then he swung round, his undistinguished face suddenly made Individual by a look of ferocity. “Get out of here," he muttered. “I don’t understand a word you’re saying. You’re mad. Go away." Casson gazed at him. “Do sit down," he said. “You'll find it more restful. I’ll tell you a tale.” "Go away Perry repeated. “Go away.” “It’s about you,” said Casson. “Do you realize why you are here ?“ "Os course I do. Os course I do. Those stupid men arrested me on i suspicion of being a burglar. But they can’t keep .me here. They can’t. They'll have to let me out in an hour and I’ll sue them. It’s wrongful arAst" r “You’ll be here longer than an hour." “I won’t. They can’t do It” “Perhaps I had better explain," ; . said Casson patiently. “You are not here by mistake. You are : here because you have committed a murder.” Casson applies the Anal pressure In tomorrow’s chapter of Small Venom. -A .« V - Jr ■ a
