It'd). ___ IF THE weather man keeps on, public sympathy will be with the coal strike. ' SOONER or later somebody had to make a wise’remark about making tho ocean dry. Modernity spreads slowly. There are only two bobbed-haired women in all Brazil. INSTEAD of censoring the beach costumes the recreation department is going to turn the spotlight on them. A DISPATCH says Marconi heard strange sounds by wireiess. that is all that some of us ever have been able to hear on the blamed things. Good Business Methods The State highway commission acted in a business-like, manner >esterday that cannot fail to commend itself to the public when it called for bids on three carloads of refrigerators, Instead of disposing of them to one purchaser, as has been the custom In the past. Asa result, each refrigerator brought $6.50 more than it would have if the commission had accepted the first oral offer submitted by the junk dealer who has obtained the lion's share of the surplus goods sold by the department. Os course, the State highway commission should not allow itself to become a second-hand dealer in the fi r st place, nor has it a technical right to sell goods that should revert to the War Department, but inasmuch as it has a lot of stuff on hands that cannot be used in constructing highways—for instance, refrigerators, "elephant tents,’ balloon winches, etc. it should at least obviate public criticism by selling them to the highest bidder if it must act as a selling agent. Responsibility for the presence of unavailable, material is still unsettled, but is a matter to which the highway commission •and the Governor should give their immediate attention. The Federal bureau of public roads says Indiana is not obliged to receive useless material to obtain its quota of badly needed equipment. The highway heads say it is-good business to get this stuff in one breath and in the other say the bureau of roads sends it along anyhow. A liule frank correspondence would easily straighten out this apparent ditiaion of thought. The highway commission, in permitting the offering of sealed bids for surplus material, has demonstrated that it is amenable to public opinion which had severely censured the apparent monopoly maintained by a lone junk dealer. It should, in the interests of the good name of the department and the work it represents, go all the way now and refuse to receive any more goods, the disposal of which leads to a growing suspicion of its motives on the part of the taxpayers. Athletes Must Go Straight Indlanians who love clean sports —and tliis includes every sincere devotee of athletics in the State—will approve of the action of the Fox River Valley Baseball League of Wisconsin in ordering members of the notorious “L —:k Sox” team dropped from the organization. The “Black Sox” are those players who were ousted from the Chicago White Sox after they were found guilty of frauds connected with the world’s series in 1919. Those athletes have learned that it does not rav to be crooked In sports anv more than it does to be dishonest in business. They have learned that America will not forgive dishonesty in the athletic realm and as far as their baseball playing goes they might at well embark iu some other business that will not bring them in close touch with the public. They are through and their going should be an excellent object lesson to others who might desire to follow their meandering footsteps. Sportsmen like to see their athletic heroes live up to their reputations, but their is never any disposition to condemn the man who goes down fighting. For that reason the critical eye of sport lovers is now directed at Jack Dempsey in his endeavor to dodge matches with Harry Wills, the colored contender, and Jess Willard, his former luckless antagonist. Dempsey has not placated a growing criticism by arranging a bout with Bill Brennan, whom many believe is merely a set up to ward off more dangerous heavyweight aspirants. Dempsey, who never has been as popular as some of the prize ring idols of the past, will have to fight, and fight soon, or else he will find tho public turning to newer and more aggressive ring contenders. An athlete to continue successful must go straight and must conform to the standard ideal set by the public. Official Pugnacity Mayor Shank’s belligerent demonstration against George J. Yoke before the board of park commissioners Thursday afternoon doubtless was a surprising revelation to those who have felt that tho smiling Lew never entertained pugnacious thoughts. Perhaps it was the heat that caused him to advance threateningly upon the protesting taxpayer, perhaps it was the sudden lapse of a remarkable poise he usually maintains, perhaps he had been reading how Senator Watson of Georgia ha3 challenged his

colleagues outside with perfect safety, but more likely the suEden recollection of the rancorous remarks credited to his political foe caused him, like many another elemental human, to forget his official position and dignity for a fleeting moment. Sudden flares of temper marked by bellicose demonstrations on the part of officials always attract a great deal more attention than do calm, dispassionate dissertations on any pending subject, although it is a debatable question whether outbursts are as efficacious in settling moot questions as are argumentative methods. There wiii be few* who would blame the mayor for feeling hurt and pained over the remarks attributed to Mr. Yoke, yet it is doubtful if an argument hearkening back to the campaign was gerroaine to the subject of whether an open air theater should be located in Garfield Park. Skips and Bonze When is a bootlegger not a bootlegger? This question, asked at some leng h by Adolphus Busch in his now famous letter to Mr. Harding, has been more or less ably answered by one of our highest paid public servants, Albert L. Lasker, chief of the shipping board. Busch’s father went to Europe on the American ship, George Washington. Aboard this ship, under the American flag, every kind of booze known to commerce, Irish, Scotch, corn and rye whisky, German Rhine wine, French champagne and everything save Anheuser-Busch beer. So Busch got mad and asked Hhrding how come. And the President, being busy, turned the letter over to Lasker, who proceeded to reply. ‘'Busch," says Lasker, “is or was, a close friend of the former German Kaiser!" Bad, but what has it to do with ships? “He was also a German sympathizer.” Also bad; but again, what of it? “Besides," says Lasker in effect, “our general counsel says it is all right to'sell the booze. And anyhow, our merchant marine, which we are preparing to ask you stay-at-home Americans to pay for, couldn’t exist if we didn’t give the passengers something to drinl aboard ship.” Ah, there you have the real senegambian in the fuel supply. A bootlegger is not a bootlegger when he is the American Government! And so our reputation for hypocrisy spreads. Every high school boy knows that the deck or saloon of an American ship Is American soil whether mid-Atlantic or the center of the South Seas. What is crime at home is crime aboard that boat. So it is just as unlawful to sell a liquor aboard an American ship as it would be over a bar in Indianapolis. How can we expect the youth of this generation to have the slightest respect for any law when Government agents, under the very folds of Old Glory, make the eighteenth amendment jump through hoops, lie down *'-d roll over at will?

CHAPTER VI. The Wireless Dictagraph. “Your wireless dictagraph? Bully!” exclaimed Garrick. “We could use that little mechanical eavesdropper. Where is it?” “In my laboratory.” Garrick’9 face fell. He glanced at his watch and then at the sun. "Yes ... I think we can make it . . . We must." Two hours later found them In Dick’s own wireless workshop. It was the boathouse on his estate where he had done some rt*narkable things with wireless. It was true that Defoe had some wonderful equipment but all the equipment in the world would not have availed him If he had not had that spark of inventive genius Inherited from h!s famous father. Outside he had a big aerial from two steel towers. Garrick looked with admiration at the completeness of the workshop ■ inside, the hack saws, miter saws, crosscut saws, frames, chisels, gouges, files, vises. There were drills, hands, breast, geared and twist, pliers with all sorts of noses. There was wire, copper, iron, aluminum, plain and Insulated, of all sizes, flexible Insulated wire cord, enough for a supply store. Fiber board and bakelite, porcelain insulators. tubing, sheet brass, sheet copper, everything at the very fingertips of the your.g inventor. Interested though he would have been at any other time. Garrick urged baste. Dick led him proudly to a table on which was his apparatus. “So this is the Defoe Wireless Dictagraph,” complimented Garrick, picking tip the familiar little round transmitter like that which he had used so many times on the win and machine. As he packed the parts Pick hastily enumerated them, his sending set, batteries, colls of wire, small portable antennae. and the receiving set.

they swung up toward the turnpike they stopped for a moment at the Nonuwantlc Club. As Dick liopped out, followed by Guy. there was a suspicious silence on the club porch as often happens when the friends of nr. interesting factor of the preceding conversation draw nigh. Silence is Freudian Dick winked at Garrick. A buxotn old lady, trembling for gossip, was actually short-breathed to get to Garrick before a group of flappers. Ruth’s friends, reached him. “Mr. Garrick—ah-b-h—Mr. Garrick—” The flappers won out. They nearly always do these days. “Hey—Dick! Where’s Ruth? * • Guy, have you heard bow badly she was hurt? • For heaven's sake, get her back here. The place is dead without Ruth.” The old lady plumped down In n nearby chair to listen, actually with mouth open. With n smile on his face. I’roft vsor Vario of the Radio Central nt Rock Ledge, crossed over to them to make friendly Inquiries. “Going into town?" inquired Vnrlo when Garrick returned with u small handbag from his rooms. "Yes.” observing how Vario was dressed —“are you?” I was waiting for the club bus to take me up to the station. Yes, tc the Radio Show at the 71st Regiment Armory. I'm to give n lecture and demonstration tonight of my new wave meter.” '■Well, jump In.” The pr Jessur was eager to assist thorn In every way as far they chose to take him into their confidence. Garrick had met him many times at the club ami Dick and Vario had had much iu comic. >n in their work. lie seemed particularly interested in keeping Ruth out of further harm and very sympathetic toward Mrs. Walden in her trouble. However, Garrh-k did not propose to discuss mu li with even Vario and on the way he and Dick fell into a discussion of th. ir hobby, especially on Varlo'u lecture on his new wave meter. “So many amateurs,” explained Vario.

In town Garrick called up Nlta Walden at her apartments on Park avenue. Sho had got ahead of any one else and had Ruth s car towed to a garage. They st ippcd there n moment and Professor Vario’s solicitude for Mrs. Walden seemed to offer Garrick the opportunity to get rid of him. for they certainly did not want any strangers about In what they were going to do. ■But the show," remonstrated Mrs. Walden as Vario offered to stay and do anything he could to relieve her anxiety. •’i'll telephone them that I'm delayed. Tln-y can postpone my stunt until later In the evening," he Insisted. "And, Mrs. Walden, don't you worry when you have two such good friends as Garrick and Dick helping. You should have seen tho way they settled the porch crowd—and you can count on mo as a third. I may i.rt the last, but I hope not tho least, where Miss Ruth’s welfare Is concerned.” “I really appreciate your kindness deeply—taut—of course, 1 want my little gl-1. I can’t think of anything else. I can’t talk over the telephone right; I can't read; I am just incapacitated until Ruth gels back to me.” •’Dick. I'll stay with Mrs. Walden for a little while, if 1 may. I know sho needs some help. If you want me later, I'll be at the Radio Show.” j Garrick thanked him, then leaped over Nita Walden. “We’ll have some word tonight—sure. By tomorrow you'll have her back—safe.” Outside lie found McKay and delivered Mrs Walden’s Instructions. “You are to tnko Professor Vario down to the Armory to the Radio Show; then you may put the car up.” Garrick bad been thinking out n plan for the installing of the dictagraph.

roofs until they came to the roof of the Inner Circle. It was a curious roof. Tn the center had been built a great concrete box as big as a room. There was no time to investigate that, however. Garrick fished with a line down the chimney, by sound!: g. until he located the flue to the P.nk Room. Then, dangling down, he lowered the dictagraph transmitter ttn:il it must have hung a foot from the floor of the hearth k of the iron grlllwork under the tel below lu the Pink Room. while, on the roof, Dick had been placing his sending set and Garhelped him complete the set-up. they left the studio house, two men v. re passing. One of them brushed auspiciously against Dick with enough force to knock the bag he was carrying out of his hand. Garrick controlled his temper. Here were the mysterious shadowers again. Were they emissaries of the gang? Garrick picked up the bag himself, -looked significantly at the man, and remarked, "Well, see? Nothing dripping!” As they had teen nt work ort the roof, they had det<-nnlued on placing the receiving end upi at Garrick's apartment, which was only several blocks uptown. At Bachelors' Ha!) IMck worked rapidly, for It was now getting dark, In spite of the length of the days. He unpacked the receiving end of,hts wireless dlctagrnph In the room, then went up on the roof and erected the portable aerial. Carefully and. deftly he began to tune ' up, now that this second Installation was, complete. It was rather difficult to get j the fine adjustment, but at last he got the right wave length. He looked up at Garrick, smiled, and took the headgear off, handing !t to him. “Get that?” Garrick adjusted It, listened for u moment In some perplexity, then exclaimed, "Why, I can hear the whirr of a vacuum cleaner in the room!” Dick smiled proudly. “I think I've made the transmitter about as sensitive a microphone us cun bo made. I only hope it isn't so sensitive that It picks up through the wall what happens In the house next door.” They listened In for several minutes, but there was nothing more yet. Whoever was cleaning the room finished and left. The buzzer on Garrick's door sounded. He opened it on a crack. It was McKay. “I Just saw- that Itao Larue, with a man, at the I’ark Garage on Sixteenth street, where I put the car tip.” “What sort of looking man?” ”1 didn’t know him, sir. Sort of shaggy hair —’• "Brock!” exclaimed Dick, who had come over. "Then Jack Portia enmo in a ear.

She was apparently very busy, but McKay noticed that nothing escaped her, r.o mutter how slight. He had continued to watch some time. Suddenly a very rakish roadster drew' tip and Rne looked out of the sedan In which she was. When she saw Gienn Buckley In tho roadster she Jumped out to meet him. Glenn greeted her with a sickly smile.' “Well, you poor fish,” exclaimed Rae. “You must believe In ghosts. Yon look as though you'd seen one. What are you doing here?” “Just looking—-to see If there's any one about.'’ “Gee, Glenn, I’m thirsty. Let’s go down to the Inner Circle. Will you take me ?” “Surely, Rae.

"Perhaps • ♦ • What of Ruth? * * * Say, Dick, I'iu going to leave you here with that wireless dictagraph. You can work it best anyhow.

He tells me that Jack Curtis gave orders to some driver about the place, a .'•'ranger, to go after something at 11 o’clock.

Say, 1 believe I’d los an arm or a leg to got this thing settled straight.” Alone Garrick waited. It was now half past nine. He had an hour and a half to watch. As he did so he revolved the two robberies over and over In his mind Each time his thought led him to the same path. Who was the "man higher up?” Was it Jack Curtis? Or Brock? Might it not be Georges? Whnt. after all, did he know about Georges, since before the war end during the easy violation of selling service men that which is wet? It was nearly midnight when Garrrlck In what seemed like a reliable taxicab, concluded tho trailing of the man who had received iustrutions from Curtis. He had evidently been waiting until the streets were sufficiently deserted. Now he drew his car, a big sedan, up to the curb, leaving the engine running, but well muffled, as silont as sleeve valvos could make it. Garrick dismissed his taxi at the corner and began to reconnoiter. To hts amazement, he saw that he was on the block where the town house of Vira Gerard’s family. It was an added shock when he saw that the ear had stopped Just In front of the Gerard house and that the driver hnd entered Iho gate and was fumbling with a key nt the door.

As lie turned In nt tho gate the man at the door heard him, looking quickly as If expecting him. then catching a better look uttered an oath and swung on him. Garrick parried and countered.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL GOES TO LOWER HOUSE President’s Fight for Pet Measure Is Embarrassing. WEST IS SUSPICIOUS BY FRANK TAYLOR. WASHINGTON, June 17.—Chairman Lasker's ship subsidy dream took another step toward realization this week. Having survived the prolonged committee hearings practically unchanged, it is now thrown upon the tender mercies of the House. Members of Congress are rapidly waking up to the fact this piece of proposed .•■gisitttion is the apple of the President's eye. Those who have called on the President recently say he talks ship subsidy first, last, and in between times. He is determined to jam the ship subsidy bill through Congress this session. In his opinion, it is the only means of saving the American merchant marina from disintegration. The President’s stubborn fight for the subsidy is embarrassing a number of his Republican supporters at the Capitol. Not the least is House Leader Mondell, candidate for the Senate. Mondell’s constituents, like those of many another Middle Western political leader, suspect the subsidy bill is the beginning of a permanent drain on the Treasury for tho benefit ~f millionaire ship operators. While the commerce committee members accepted the Lasker subsidy bill almost without change, they made several attempts to play safe. About twenty pages of detailed explanatory clauses were inserted into the bill, more gpeclficai. ly stating how the shipping board shall apply the proposed subsidy. The opposition was offered no chanco to amend the sibsidy bill in committee. It is now organizing to prevent the bill from being Jammed through Congress by tho President's lieutenants. The big fight against the bill will coma in the Senate, where rules of debate will not throttle its opponents. Most serious opposition will come from Republicans of the progressive group who have not been won over to the proposed reversal of the traditional-shipping policy of tha country.
