MILITANT DRY WAR REVIVED TO DALK WETS Anti-Saloon League in Counter Offensive: Plan Publicity Campaign. By I nille 4 p n *s WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Supporters of prohibition, stirred into activity by internal criticism, and the snapshooting of wet forces, have undertaken a counter offensive described by the Anti-Saloon League as a ‘ revival of a more militant attitude on the part of the drya.” F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent of Anti-Saloon League, declared in an announcement for publication today that “every possible step must be taken to prevent this nation from slipping backward on the great moral issue of temperance." New Educational Drive The new drive is educational in character and is interested in rallying industrial and business leaders to the prohibition cause. "It Is proposed," said Mcßride, “that the whole nation shall be informed regarding the merits of prohibition, through the nt;wspa- i pers. magazines, radio broadcasts, public addresses, motion pictures and other approved methods." Another prohibition development was the action of Prohibition Director woodcock in approving a | raid by St. Louis dry agents on a store selling grape juice for wine S making. Doubts on Wine Issue In so doing, Woodcock raised more doubts concerning the legality of the current campaign of California grape growers to sell their surplus for wine making. He refused, however, to declare the raid was indicative of the government’s national \ policy. It is regarded here as only a ques- j tion of time, in view of the St. Louis raid before the government challenges the present program of the grape growers who are advertising their product as fit for wine making in the home. Center on Rural U. S. By T’nitcd Press CLEVELAND. Nov. 20. Rural j America, long the stronghold cf dry sentiment, and the birthplace of national prohibition, is being invaded by a force of uncompromising antiprohibitionists, who are attempting to bring about anew attitude. Plans to center an educational campaign in the sections long regarded as unalterably dry were revealed today by Ralph Newman, secretry of the Crusaders, who pointed to the growing strength of the organization in populous centers as proof that a rural campaign is in the offing. The organization will function similarly to that of its rival groups, (he Anti-Saloon League and the W. C. T. U., by organizing chapters or battalions in every county seat from which will be propagated literature and instruction to return to individual states the right of liquor control. Coincident with announcement of an educational program, an offer of Bobby Jones, dean of golfers, to aid the crusaders in organizing a chapter in his home town of Atlanta was revealed.

Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 ye.ars, and calomel's oldlime enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Olive Tablets do not contain ca!t>mel. just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative safe and pleasant. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-col-ored tablets. They help caus% the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth' —bad breath—a dull, tired feeling —sick headache—torpid liver—constipation, you should And quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets.

(Continued From Page 1) ! lost him nearly eight precious minutes. during which his friend, CapI tain Strawn of the homicide squad. ! might be bungling things rather j badly. But at last he found the ornate ! pair of pillars spanned by the j painted legend, “Primrose Meadows, and drove through into what soon became a rutted lane. Almost a quarter mile from the i entrance he found the isolated house, unmistakable because of the : lineup of private cars parked before the short stretch of paved sidewalk. and the added presence of grim-looking police cars and motorcycles. nun SO Captain Strawn was out in full force! Dundee turned his own I car into the driveway leading from the street along the right side of ; the house toward the two-car garage in the rear. Ahead of his roadster were two other cars, and a glance toward the | open garage showed that a small I coupe was housed there. As he was descending. Captain Strawn's voice hailed him from an ! open window of the room nearest I the garage. “Hello, Bonnie! Been expecting ; you. . . . Damndest business you i ever saw. . . . There's a door from this room on to the porch. Hop up and come on in.” Dundee obeyed. In driving in he had noted that a wide porch, upI held by round white pillars, stretched across the front of the gabled brick house and extended half way along its right side, past a room which obviously was a solarium, with its continuous windows, gay awnings, and—visible through the glittering panes—orange-and-tan wicker furniture. It was easy to swing himself up to the floor of the porch. Strawn flung open the door which led into the back room, remarking with a‘ grin: “Don't be afraid I'm gumming up any fingerprints. Carraway already has been over the room. . . .The Selim woman’s bedroom,” he explained. “The room she was killed in.” “You have been on the job,” Dundee complimented his former chief, and shook hands heartily. It was very necessary that a well-grounded friendship should not be marred by any undue officiousness on the part of the district attorney’s special investigator. “Sure!” Strawn acknowledged proudly. “Can’t be too quick on our stumps when it’s one of these ‘high sassiety’ murders. Dr. Price will be here any minute now, and my men have been all over the premises, basement to attic. Os course it was an outside jobplain as the nose on your face—and we haven't found a trace of the murderer.” Wishing that his former chief could find anew simile which would not insult his rather fine nose, Eonnie Dundee advanced into the room. Although Mrs. Selim has taken the house furnished, at was obvious

that this big bedroom of hers was not exactly as the Crain family, had left it. A little too pretty, a little too aggressively feminine, with its chaise longue heaped with silk and lace, pillows, its superfluity of big and little lamps, its bed draped with golden-yellow taffeta, its dressing table— But he could not let critical eyes linger on the triple-mirrored vanity dress. For on the bench before it sat a tiny figure, the head bowed so low upon the lace-and-gold-silk covered top that some of the black curls had fallen into a large open bowl of powder. She no longer was wearing the short brown silk coat whose open front had given him a glimpse of pale yellow chiffon. b b b HE saw the dress now, a low-cut, sleeveless, fluffy affair, but he really had eyes only for the brown-ish-red hole on the left side of the back of the bodice, about halfway between shoulder and waist—a w'aist so small he could have spanned it with his two hands, including its band of fuchsia velvet ribbon. There also had been a bow of fuchsia velvet ribbon on the lace and straw hat she had swung so charmingly less than five hours ago. , . . “Shot through the heart, I guess,” Strawn commented. “Took a good marksman to find her heart, shooting her through the back. . . .Funny thing, too. Nobody heard a shot—leastways none of that crowd penned up in the living room will admit they did.” “They’ll all hang together, and lie like sixty to keep us from finding out anything that might point to one of their precious bunch. But if a gun with a Maxim silencer was used, as it must have been if that whole crew ain’t lying, the gunman musta been good, because you can’t sight with a Maxim screwed on to a rod, you know.” “Have your men found the gun?” Dundee asked. “Os course not, or I ? d know whether it had a Maxim on it or not,” Strawn retorted. “My thebry is,” he added impressively, “that somebody with a grudge against this dame hired a gunman to hang around till he got her dead to rights, then—plop!” and he imitated the soft, thudding sound made by the discharge of a bullet from a gun equipped with a silencer. “Doesn’t it seem rather strange

1 that a professional gunman would have chosen such a time —with men arriving in cars and the house full of women who might wander into this room at any minute—to bump off his victim?” Dundee asked. “Well, there ain’t no other explanation,” Captain Strawn contended. flushing. “Outside of the I fact that my men have gone over the whole house and grounds without finding the gun, I’ve got other evidence it was an outside job. , . . Look!” Dundee followed the chief of the homicide squad to one of the two windows that looked out qpon the driveway. Both were open, since | the May day was exceptionally warm j even for the middle west. The window from which he obediently leaned was almost directly in line with the vanity dressing table across the room. 808 j“T OOK! See how them vines have been torn,” Strawn directed, pointing to a rambler rose which hugged the outside frame of the window. “And look hard enough at the flower bed down below and you’ll see big footprints. “Os course we’ve measured them and Cain, as you see, is guarding them till my man comes to make plaster casts of them. . . . Yes, sir, he hoisted himself up to the window ledge, aimed as best he could, then slipped down and beat it across the meadow.” “Then,” Dundee began slowly, “I wonder why Mrs. Selim didn’t see that figure crouched in the window, since she must have been powdering her face and looking into the middle of the three mirrors—the one which reflects this very window?” “How do you know she was powdering her face, not looking for something in a drawer?” Strawn demanded truculently. “For three reasons,” Dundee answered almost apologetically. “First: her powder puff, as I’m sure you noticed, is still clutched in her right hand; second, there is no drawer open, and no drawer was open, unless someone has c.osed it since the murder, whereas on the other hand her powder box is open; third, the left side of her face is heavily and unevenly coated with powder, while the other is heavily but evenly powdered. “Therefore I can’t see why she didn’t scream, or turn around when she heard your gunman clambering up* to her window, or even when he
had crouched in it. I don’t see how she could .help seeing him!” “Well—what do you think?” Strawn asked sourly, after he had tested the visibility of the window from the dressing table mirror.
