Is it going to be a painless weekend, or one filled with screaming, broken bodies, heartsick parents an dfriends, and dead youth? One of the man}’ parents who has written in this past week suggests that every Mom and Dad take inventory, and keep a little better check on the family car. Don’t let your son have a car if he isn’t ready to drive one safely. Sure, you want him to have everything every other boy has, but don’t lea that trick you into taking the one thing every boy needs — his life. Young people often think they are showing that they are “of age’’ when they drive fast, spin tires, stay out late, etc. They are only indicating that they are still children, too young to have the privileges and responsibilities of adults. If your son falls into this class, and you let him drive this weekend, it may well be his last on earth. If your son is fully responsible, knows how to drive, and then drives that way, knows that late hours and driving, or drinking and driving, don’t mix, and that showing off in front of girl friends is the best way to commit suicide, then there’s certainly nothing wrong with his having the car. You can easily tell how responsible a young person is. Discuss wrecks, and their causes, with him. If he makes excuses for the driver, or calls them all accidents, or looks upon them as humorous, then be prepared for that midnight call from the police informing you that the body is at the local mortuary. All this sounds very harsh. But think back over the last few years, and remember how many heartbroken parents have stood beside the torn and mutilated remains of Their children, all needlessly. “Accidents” will always happen, if we don't try to stop them.

Owners Os Nursing Home Face Charges EVANSVILLE. Ind. <UPI»-Mr. and Mrs. Harold Barnes, operators of the Comfort Nursing Home here in which elderly and senile patients allegedly were tortured for “misbehavior”, appear in Vanderburgh Circuit Court today to answer criminal charges stemming from a grand jury report. The couple was charged with operating without a license, and Barnes was accused of assault and battery in connection with the alleged beating of Fred Temme, a former patient in the home. The two were arrested and jailed Thursday on affidavits filed by Vanderburgh County Prosecutor C.H. Roberts Jr. Bond was set a SI,OOO for Mrs. Viola Barnes and $1,500 for her husband. Temme, the elderly patient whom Barnes was accused of beating, was a ward of the county welfare department. The department has since transferred all its cases from the Barnes home to another institution. The legal action against the Barneses was the result of a four - page grand jury report charging that patients were -strtfCk, doused with-inftammatory-antiseptic for incontinence, inadequately fed. confined to chairs.

CHAPTER 21 HERTHA COOL kept blinking: L< ner eyes at me as though | ahe was biting information off in chunks with her eyelids so as to help her brain digest IL "When was Crockett killed?” she asked me. "Sometime last night,” 1 said. •*The body wasn’t found until this Thornlng.” “What angle are you working on, Donald Lam?” “The murder,” I said. “Who Cor?” “The widow.” “Why?” “She’s probably going to be accused of it.” “Did she do it?” “1 don’t know.” “What does Sellers think?” “He hasn’t said.” She said, “Look here, Donald Lam, if Frank Sellers gets the idea that Mrs. Crockett killed her husband, and you stick your neck out trying to save Mrs. Crockett, it’s going to make trouble." "For whom?” “For you. For the agency." “Everybody makes trouble for me." “I don’t like it,” Bertha said. "Mrs. Crockett," 1 told her, “doesn't like it either.” "What about dough?” “1 haven't asked her.” “Well, you ask her,” Bertha said. "Get her in here. Til ask her. That’s the trouble with you, Donald Lam. You're one of these easygoing, good-natured guys that believes everyone. . . . I’ve told you a thousand times that whenever you take on any sort of a job you’re to get a retainer, get some money In advance. They may take this woman and throw her in the can. Then they may convict her of murder and she can't inherit a cent Then we’U be holding the bag.” "That’s right,” I said. "Therefore, we shouldn't let her get convicted of her husband’s murder.” “Always get dough to advance," Bertha said, “then you don’t care what happens." “How much did you get out of Dean Crockett?” Bertha tried to be dignified. “With a man of that caliber you can’t—What the devil are you trying to do, you little squirt? Are you trying to bait me?” ”1 was just wondering," 1 said. “You said always get dough to advance." “Well, that’s a different situation.” “Why Is It different ?" "He’s a millionaire. He’s good tor anything he orders.”

under restraint for as long as eight hours at a time, and were in constant danger of being trapped by fire. The report charged also that attendants pulled toenails from patients’ feet as punishment for alleged misconduct. An “appalling lack of coordination” by state and local health departments and fire and safety departments ws blamed for the situation. However. Mrs. Barnes vehemently denied the charges. “I'm going to prove that report was false,” she said. “I can prove it was a lie from beginning to end.” o Q Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE | o Q. When a girl has been intro-| duced to a young man, and is > leaving him, should she say that she is glad to have met him? A. No. It is the man' place to say this, to which she may reply. “Thank you.” If he fails to make any such statement, then a smile and a “good-by” are all necessary. Q. What is the most useful marking to- have printed on stationery, both for personal and business correspondence? A. Your address. Q. Should one leave the spoon iff the sherbet glass when "one Has finished eating his dessert? A. No; place the spoon in the

“He isn't good for anything now.” Bertha sucked in a deep breath, started to say something, then turned and stormed out of the office. 1 waited another five minutes, then told Elsie Brand to advise the receptionist that Lionel Palmer could come in now. He looked a lot different by the time he got into the office. He’d lost all of his belligerent, aggressive superiority. “Look, Lam," he said, “1 want to know exactly what it is the police have got on me. Just what —” He broke off and his eyes grew big as he saw the jade Buddha sitting to the middle of the blotter on my desk. “What-. . . what’s that?” “The missing jade Buddha," I said casually. "You . . . you recovered it?" “It didn’t walk to here under its own power." “Where did you get It?” “Oh, 1 recovered it” “When?” , “Yesterday.” “Where?” “From the person who had it” "Look here, Lam, 1 have a reason for asking. 1 want to know who had that Buddha." “You did,” 1 said, and lit a cigarette. He started to jump up out of his chair with a big show of indignation, then thought better of it and said, "What to blue blazes are you talking about?” “I’m talking about you and the jade Buddha.” "You didn’t recover it from me." “I recovered it from one of your cameras. It was wrapped to cotton and put to your Speed Graphic—the one with the wideangle lens.” “You’re crazy. I don’t believe you.” "You don’t have to. Frank Sellers wilt” “Who’s Frank Sellers?” ‘“The tough cop on Homicide who is going to be giving you a working over.” "Does he know that you recovered this Buddha to the back of one of my cameras?” “Not yet” Palmer began to squirm around to his seat “Look here, Lam,” he said, "you’re a pretty good fellow.” •“Thanks.” “There’s no roason why you and | shouldn’t get along." “None whatever.” “How do you suppose that jade Buddha got inside of my camera?”

saucer. ■i Q. Is it all right to hold the ; fork in the hand at the dinner table while talking? A. If one is engaging in a lengthy Conversation, it is much better to lay the fork on the plate while talking rather than to hold it poised in midair. Os course, this does not mean that one must lay the fork down quickly for each “yes” or “no.” Q. 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. Q. How many attendants are the usual number at a home wedding? A. The most fashionable home weddings include but two bridesmaids and a maid-of-honor—and many of them have no bridesmaids at all. Q. After a young man has taken a girl out for an evening of entertainment which she has enjoyed very much, would it be all right for her to ask him to call her again sometime? A. Yes, this is quite in order. Q. Which is the proper expression, “The boy is named after his father,” or, “The boy is named for his father”? A.The. pceferred-form-is,» M The boy is namer FOR his father.”

“I wouldn’t know. It’s not my business to know. That’s up to Sellers. That’s what the taxpayers pay him for. He’ll find out” Palmer got nervous again and started hitching his chair up close to mine. “Now, look, Donald,” he said, "we can do 1 business.” 1 raised my eyebrows. “I’ll tell you what 1 think happened.” "Go ahead.” “But I'll want you to protect my confidence.” 1 said, “I’m Working for a client 1 protect nobody on anything except my client My client’s the one I protect and the only one 1 protect" "But you could . . . you have to protect your sources of information." I stretched my fists back up over my head, yawned, and said, "I don’t need any sources of information. 1 can get all 1 need. What did Sylvia Hadley say when she came up to your studio pnd found the jade idol gone?" “Sylvia!” he exclaimed. 1 nodded. "It . . . it couldn’t have been Sylvia.” “What makes you think it couldn’t ?” “Why, she . . . she—” “She was up to your studio yesterday afternoon, wasn’t she?” “She dropped in briefly before she went up to Mrs. Crockett's to pose as a model." "Uh-huh." "But she’s all right She’s on the up-and-up.” “Make an excuse to be left alone tn your outer room there? The one where you keep your cameras ?” “She was alone there. She didn't need to make any excuse. 1 was in the darkroom doing some work. She was to there with me sot A . while and then the fumes of the acid fixing bath bothered her so she went outside and waited for me out there.” "And after she looked tn the camera and found the jade Ido) was gone, did you notice a change in her manner?" He looked at me as though Td socked him in the solar plexus. “Well,” 1 said, getting up and stretching, “I’ve got to leave now. Come to any time.” Lionel Palmer walked out like a man to a daxs. Sylvia Hadley doesn’t believe to letting the dead rest to peace. She makes a startling reappearance as “The Count of Nine” continues tomorrow.
