Bernard Shaw

Another best seller in fiction has been contributed by Bernard fihaw in "Adventures of the Black Girl." It is best described as a commentary on Christianity and religious sects by Brentano's *'ho lists it as a best seller. It is published by Dodd. Mead & Cos. BV WALTER I). HICKMAN IF you have been looking for a murder mystery that is different, Ihcn I can tell you that such a novel is "The Murderer of Sleep,” by Mildred Kennedy, the author of • Half Mast Murder.” The title may be a little baffling but it deals with a series of crimes in a little village on a river in Englad by the name of Sleep. This little village might have slept on for another century if some strange people had not arrived and rented three cottages on one of the banks of the river. In one cottage we have Mr. Cannon, a cripple in an arm chair who could not talk with the exception of yelling out what sounded like ‘■yes” to everything. With him was his nephew, Richard Churt, and also an attendant who wheeled the cripple about. Cannon and his attendant was dangerously near the scene of the several murders as well as two daring jewel thefts. In another cottage was Colonial Jethro, a cunning old rascal who was also mighty close to the places where the crimes happened. With him was his beautiful stepdaughter, known as Anstice Carey. In the third cottage was Grant Nicholson, a man of mystery, who discovered the dead body of the English rector of the village of 'Bleep very close to his church. n a The fact Is in "The Murderer of Sleep” the reader suspects each and every one of the inhabitants of these three cottages. The story opens with the murder of a very rich woman in a hotel room. And all of the suspects are on the scene with one exception as far as we know at the begging and that was Grant. And yet his influence seems to be present. For a long time the reader can not tell whether Grant’s influence is one of good or bad as he is one of the most baffling characters we have in modern fiction. It, is this power of confusion as .well as accurate character drawing r on the part of the author that makes "The Murderer of Sleep” so different from the mine run mystery novels. Here is a mystery pattern that will keep you up early into the morning if you do not start it caily enough. „ . . "The Murderer of Sleep is published by H. C. Kinsey and sells lor $2. o tt a What are they reading in nonfiction? Brentano's reports the following—" British Agent,” by Bruce Lockhart; "United States in World by Walter Lippman; "Philosophy of Solitude.” by John Cowper Powys; "Upton Sinclair Presents William Fox"; "The Way of Escape.” by Philip Gibbs, and "A World Passed by." by Marvin Lowenthal. ,Aiid that is pretty heavy reading. a tt tt Have just received from the Modern Library two books issued under the title of New Modern Giants. And they are both giants In size. One of them is the complete novels of Jane Austin in one volume. This volume includes "Pride and Prejudice,” "Emma," “Sense and Sensibility.” “Mansfield Park.” • Persuasion” and "Northanger Abbey." The other volume of the series is “The Medici" by G. F. Young and is the complete biography of this highly tragic family. This work is illustrated. And each book sells for sl. a a a Max Miller, who wrote "I Cover the Waterfront," has anew one to his credit. It is "He Went Away for Awhile,” and is published by Dutton. And the experiences recited in this newspaperman's latest are his own. a a b In riding the busses going to and from work, the book I see most in the hands of others is "Ann Vickers." by Sinclair Lewis. And I have seen three copies of “Alice in Wonderland" in the past few days. I often see people reading the Bible as they go to work. 808 In answer t a question. I am informed that the late John Galsworthy finished anew novel before he died. It lias the significant title of "One More River," and will first appear as a magazine serial. It is based upon the old hymn. "There's one more river to crass, one more river, and that’s the River Jordan.” It is a companion to "Maid in Waiting" and "Flowering Wilderness.”

RADIO CAPTURE TRAPS RUM RUNNERS

Wireless Expert Sleuth Traces Mystery Calls to Ring’s Lair

This is the last of a series of six stories of the adventures of super-men of the law—skilled investigators, scientific detectives and courageous officers. BY LOU WEDEMER Times Special Writer MYSTERIOUS signals were interrupting radio broadcast programs in the metropolitan area. A tenor’s soft mouthings would be mangled by staccato dots and dashes, or in the middle of a symphony concert a buzzing sound would be heard. The interruptions were loudest and most frequent in suburban sections, but occasionally the weird broadcasts would be aedible even in Times Square. More important than that entertainment was being interfered with was the fact that urgent communication services, such as aviation dispatching, police patrol work and various other short-wave agencies, were being broken in on with regularity Complaints were made to the federal government, and Agent R-8, a wireless expert, was assigned to investigate. He had no idea, when he entered the case, of the incredible ramifications into which the mysterious signals would lead him. Hls, first thought was that some foreign liner, testing in the Hudson in violation of regulations, was causing the trouble. R-8 traveled in an unusual vehicle, a casual observer would have believed it an ordinary sedan automobile. It’s curtains hid, however, an

amazing collection of meters, switches, wires, radio tubes and other sensitive instruments. He drove immediately to the theater district, intent on determining the nature of the interference there. The first twenty-four hours yielded nothing. On the second night, as he listened on the 100-meter band, the dots and dashes of a code transmitter sounded loud and clear. No message was sent, so far as he could determine. All he heard was “V-V-V-V-V, QRM,” repeated over and over. This was a singularly harmless broadcast, for the letter “V” is the international symbol used by a station when testing its apparatus, and “QRM” is the signal meaning, "Static or other interference makes reception difficult.” B tt B IN his car R-8 had direction-find-ing apparatus. Its most important unit was a “loop” aerial mounted on a dial. The dial showed the path of a received signal—as most radio fans know, an aerial receives a signal best from the direction to which it is parallel. R-8 get best results with the loop pointing north and south; it was impossible to decide in which direction the station lay by using only the one bearing. With other bearings, he could determine the approximate location by triangulation. The tone of the signals told R-8 one thing—it was not what he first had believed, merely some liner testing its apparatus. It was an extremely powerful station operating on shore. “Wildcat” stations were not new to R-8. He had traced dozens of them, including some suspected of communicating military secrets to foreign powers during war time. This one was novel chiefly because of its boldness. That night he obtained another “bearing" on the station, this time with his sedan parked in East New York. His radio compass indicated the station was southwest or northeast. Two lines drawn on a map of the metropolitan area proved to his satisfaction that the station was somewhere in New Jersey. Near Rahway he took another bearing and found the test calls on a line running almost due northwest and southeast. The three lines on his map intersected near Atlantic Highlands, the northernmost point on the seacoast of New Jersey. • IN the meantime, government men in the naval communications office in New York had been listen-

"The only difference,” an operator told the supervisor in communications, “is that he changes the number of V’s.” R-8, before going to the vicinity of the station, and possibly thereby giving a warning, determined to wait until the station actually began to send messages. Experiment showed that the station actually was using a low wave length, outside the broadcast band, but that the transmitter was tuned so broadly that the wave spread over several bands. One of the operators at communications was listening to the test calls, mechanically jotting down the V’s as they droned in his ears. "Twelve V’s, one V, fourteen V’s, four V’s. one V, twenty V’s, fourteen V’s, fifteen V’s, nineteen V’s, nine V’s, twenty-four V’s,” read a section R-8 happened to notice. The varying number of test letter groups set him to thinking. "Do they group them that way all the time?” he asked. The operator nodded. "For the last hour that’s the way it's been coming in. They must be using an automatic transmitter. That would account for the cycle.” “Wait a minute!” c >t R-8 was busy with pencil and paper. Suddenly he smiled. "Would you believe it,” he said to the supervisor, “they’ve been sending messages all the time!” He showed the astonished operators the solution. Each group of V’s, ending with the signature “QRM,” was a letter. The number

Scientific Plan Used in World War Can Help in Job Scheme

Army of Workers Should Be Enlisted With View to Fitness. This is the first of a series of five articles on how Science can help in picking the right mer for jobs in the proposed federal battle against unemployment. By Science Service WASHINGTON, March 24.—Employment methods developed and tested during the World war are advised by psychologists for use in the present battle against unemployment. A nation-wide organization manned by experts is suggested as the most practical method off recruiting the "army” of workers President Roosevelt may propose to bring relief to the millions of unemployed. "Our greatest primary task is to put people to work.” the President said in his inaugural address. "This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time, through the employment, accom-

Twelve V’s before the sign QRM meant "L,” one V meant "A,” and so on. “land at No. Six!” was the message being repeated over and over again. No one knew what “No. 6” meant, but R-8 surmised it was a prearranged way of describing a dock, pier, harbor or airport. Communicating with Washington R-8 was instructed by his chief to proceed with the investigation. “It must be a big rum ring,” the chief said. “If the government can't get them on prohibition charges, it’s up to us to close down the radio station anyway.” That night a lone automobile drove along the sandy roads of northern New Jersey. Staton QRM pounded in so loudly that R-8 wondered scores of com-

plishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use ol our great national resources.” A national personnel service should be manned by experts, who willingly would contribute their services, as they did during the World war. Plenty of these experts are available, and many are themselves among the ranks of those out of jobs. The nucleus for such organization can be found in similar services already functioning, particularly the Employment Stabilization Research Institute, which has been doing such spectacular work in Minnesota and the newly organized Adjustment Service in New York city.

Careful selection of men for the proposed employment army is considered just as important as it was to pick good soldiers to fight in the World war. It is even more important today to avoid the waste of man power and money caused when men are placed in jobs they can not fill. Every recruit for the new employment army should be examined to determine his physical condition, mentality, education, special skills or abilities, and social and economic status, psychologists urge. For every job available under the proposed project, a job analysis should be made, so that individuals can be placed where they will be most useful and most capable of doing the work required. Training centers in various parts of the country are suggested as possibly advisable, to insure that the worker is reasonably competent before he is transported to the location of the work and placed on the job. For this training work, the use of unemployed vocational teachers and unemployed executives with experi-

plaints had not been received. As he neared the Highlands the signal cycle changed and he copied down: “3-1-4-5-24 14-5-1-18 14-15 19-9-24 12-1-14-4 1-20 14-15 20-23-5-14-20-25.” Translated: “Cadex near No. 6. Land at No. 20.” tt tt tt WHO or what was Cadex? R-8 hazarded it was the coast guard; the rum fleet was re-routing its vessels to a safer landing place. R-B’s instruments registered maximum intensity as he drove into the village of Hillside, on a littletraveled road in the Highlands. Securely locking his sedan, he entered the one hotel and asked for a room. The clerk acted suspicious. “All full,” he said. “What’s your line of business?” “Real estate. I’m down here

Personnel Service Manned by Experts Could Be of Aid in Campaign. ence in training and handling people is advised. In addition to the number of welltrained psychologists and personnel workers already available and willing to contribute their services to such a cause, plenty of unemployed persons are available w T ho possess the necessary background of experience and ability so that they could be trained as examiners and placement officers in a period of about a month or two. Mental tests should be used. These would sort the men on the basis of intelligence into groups qualified for (a) unskilled labor, <b> skilled labor, (c) business and clerical work and (and) professional work. Physical examination should separate the fit from the unfit—the diseased from the whole. Trade tests and personal history blanks could be used to supplement these primary examinations, if men with particular trade knowledge or experience are required for particular positions.

looking for some summer properties. But how come you're all filled up? This looks like a quiet section." The clerk dropped his voice, although they were alone. "It used to be.” he whispered. "But now it’s full of strangers. Better clear out, friend, while you're able to.” R-8 drove along the coast until he came to a mansion, high on a bluff overlooking the sea. He recognized it as the former home of the lat’ Oscar Hammerstein, Broadway impressario. Near it he heard the humming of giant generators, and saw the aerial over which QRM was broadcasting. It was cleverly hidden among the trees, supported by thir-ty-foot poles. The roads were alive with trucks carrying barrels and cases of bottles and R-8 hurried away to avoid being stopped and questioned. He managed to have a “breakdown” in fror.t of a farmer's house, and from him he learned how the rum kingdom had captured the vicinity. u tt a THAT radio station keeps in touch with six big schooners and about forty launches,” the farmer said. "I know all about it; the ‘boss’ was a friend of my daughter until I chased him away. "The old Hammerstein house is a regular fortress. They’ve got ma-chine-guns. rifles and tear gas bombs enough for an army. They have their own dock, a few miles from here; they call it ‘Number Six.’ “The hotel down the road is theirs; about forty of their employes sleep there. They store their liquor in a big cave. Mighty dangerous around here for a stranger.” Romantic though it sounded, R-8 had enough evidence to warrant a raid. He left the farmer and drove to Newark, where, by telephone, he advised his superior of the situation. Delay occurred while "red tape” was cut, and then the prohibition authorities began gathering evidence against the syndicate. One afternoon in October R-8 led a squad of men to the radio station, while scores of other federal agents rushed the mansion-fortress and the hotel. a a a THE raid took them by surprise, although it was learned later the syndicate had spies in the coast guard, prohibition and police service to protect this fortress on the fringe of New York harbor. A man sat at the key of the wireless set. R-8 recognized him at once as Malcolmn McMasters, a former ship's operator. "Step aside, McMasters.” R-8 said. ‘Let me use that transmitter.” McMasters was forced aside. R-8 sat down at the key and taped out a message in the syndicate’s own code: ‘Cadex withdrawn. Proceed to shore at once and land cargoes.” McMasters laughed. "They won't fall for that,” he said. “They known my ’touch’—the way I send. You'll just scare them off.” ‘l’ll give them a pretty good imitation,” R-8 responded. "I’ve been listening to you a long time myself.” Obeying instructions, several launches ran ashore into traps set by federal agents. The big rum ships, however, refused to come inside the twelve-mile limit and evaded capture. Thirty-five prisoners were taken; liquor valued at thousands of dollars was seized. And that night station QRM signed off for the last time.

PUSHES BALM SUIT AGAINST DOUG JR, Actor “Not Going to Get Away With It,’ Is Claim. By United Press LOS ANGELES, March 24.—With the statement, ‘'Douglas Fairbanks Jr. isn’t going to get away w'ith it,” Jorgen Dietz, chemical engineer, today pressed his $50,000 alienation of affections suit against the young actor. “I am taking my case to court to vindicate myself,” Dietz said after a brief honeymoon in Mexico with his new wife, Lucy Doraine, actress, fformer wife of Michael Curtiz, motion picture director. Dietz accused young Fairbanks of stealing the affections of his former wife, Solveig Dietz, who now is residing in Copenhagen. He also filed suit against Fairbanks, District Attorney Burton Fitts and M. C. Levee, Fairbanks’ manager, for $20,000 damages, alleging false imprisonment. The day after Dietz filed his actions, Fairbanks Jr. and his wife, Joan Crawford, announced a separation, but declared the suit had ‘‘nothing to do with it.” THREE ARE”aRRESTED ON VAGRANCY COUNTS Robbery Attempts Charged; Two Women Are Struck.

POLAND FEARS HITLER COUP IN‘CORRIDOR’ Paderewski Alarmed Over Germany's Designs on Disputed Strip. PRUSSIA N ISM IS PERIL Spirit of Frederick the Great Walks Again, Says Pianist. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, March 24.—Fate must liave brought the great Ignace Jan Paderewski, illustrious Polish pianist, back to Washington this particularly historic week, for even while he was a guest in the national capital the Poland of

which he first was premier, and of which Woodrow Wilson was a creator, again stood in danger. While the romantic fi g ure was a White House guest of President Roosevelt, Wilson’s first p o litical successor, President von Hindenburg of Germany and the Nazi chancellor, Adolf H i t ler.

were us h ering out the German republic and ushering in a Fascist German dictatorship, pledged to wipe out the vital Polish corridor. The immortal artist-statesman refused to talk politics, but from those about him it was learned that he views with misgivings the trend of events in central Europe. Fears Prussian Spirit Os Germany, he was, and is, fond. He does not blame her for Poland's partition. It was Prussia, Austria and Russia that destroyed Poland and took what now is called the Polish corridor, and it is a return to Prussianism at Berlin that he now fears. Frederick the Great, king of Prussia, he holds, was the mastermind behind the partitioning of Poland, and it was precisely at the shrine of Frederick that President von Hindenburg called on all Germans to “look back” for inspiration for the work that lies ahead. "Whoever possesses the estuary of the Vistula and the city of Danzig,” said Frederick, “will be master of Poland.” And the Nazi chancellor, now in supreme authority, even above the constitution, in the reich, has decreed that these again shall come under the German flag. Longs for Peace Reluctant though he is to grant interviews, Poland’s famed son has expressed his views on ‘‘Poland’s so-called corridor” under his own name in Foreign Affairs, just out. said he: “We do not desire war. Every one in Poland longs for peace. We need it more than any other country. But if by a formal declaration or by surprise war is imposed on us, we shall defend ourselves. ' “Is it for the chimeric pleasure of a province, the population of which does not exceed two and a quarter millions, that we are summoned to sacrifice the real and vital interests a state of more than 32,000,000 people?” he asks. “No! Partly yes. But chiefly for that commanding position of Frederick the Great, for that position which would permit Prussia to take the rest of the Polish territory at any time later. And what would be the immediate meaning to us of that sacrifice? . . . The corridor, that indisputable Polish land ... is not merely the treasured heritage of more than thirty Polish generations. It also is our only national seacoast. Valuable to Poland “Its length is only seventy-six kilometers. For a state of 32,000,000 inhabitants that is not much, especially when one thinks that our mighty neighbor firmly holds 498 kilometers along the North sea and 990 kilometers along the Baltic. But to us those seventy-six kilometers are just as valuable as the 1,488 are to Germany or as its thousands of miles of seacoast are to the United States. They are indispensable to our independent life, materially and morally. ‘What would it mean to us to consent? ... It would make Poland a cripple and a slave.” Pederewski warned, however, that the fortunes of war are capricious.
