BY WALTER D. HICKMAN KAY CLEAVER STRAHAN is a writer of murder mysteries which can't be solved by a reader. I know that's a strong statement, but I feel that it's actually true in the case of "The Hobgoblin Murder.’ 1 Mrs. Strahan is the author of such well known novels as "Desert Moon Mystery,” and “Footprints.” Although the chief characters are strange people—three spinster sisters living in a gloomy, oldfashioned house lighted by candles and with doors bolted and chained, their mode of living is perfectly natural because of the circumstances. When you first meet the Fetty “girls” in "The Hobgoblin Murder,” Miss Prudence, tyrant head of the family following the death of her tremendously rich eccentric father, was eighty years of age. Miss Hortense was 75 and Miss Dorinda just a little younger. These three strange people lived together in this weird house for forty-three years and not one of them ever left the house, under the orders of Prudence. Prudence never allowed her sisters to receive any money from her father’s estate because the father had died of a broken heart because one of his daughters ran away with a circus performer. 000 SO to live down this “disgrace,” the three sisters went into complete retirement, with three servants—Valentine Pornick, a gardener; Mrs. Bertha Kane, a cook; and her husband, Phil, handy man and butler. An elderly family doctor, an attorney, and a dressmaker were the only ones who ever entered the house. There was no telephone, nothing modern. A fireplace in the many rooms was the only means of heat diming winter. At a given command, the three old maids retired every night at 9 o'clock after doing their sewing. Their gowns always were modeled after patterns of fifty years before. Everyone feared and hated Prudence. The only one who would talk back was Valentine. Then came two strangers—the grand-child of the Mary-Marga-ret, the sister who had eloped with the circus performer and along with Mary-Margaret was her daughter Polly, both in poverty. 000 WHEN Polly entered the big dimly lighted living room to ask aid for herself and her mother after hitch-hiking from

Chicago to the Fetty home, Miss Prudence remarked that the child “looks like a little freak in that rig.” Six weeks after the entrance of these two in the home, there was open rebellion against the tyrany of Miss Prudence. Then Prudence was murdered in her bed with a pair of scissors and her old fashioned curls clipped from her head. Police entered the place and a woman detective, Lynn MacDonald, took charge. On the fourth day Miss MacDonald was in the house, Mrs. Cole was found murdered in her bed. A razor was the weapon. Who was the murdered? The killer is present every second of the time from page thirteen on. This story seems solution-proof to me until the author decides to keep the reader from going crazy by giving the solution. I had a grand time reading this one. Read it and tell your friends about it. but keep the solution to yourself. “The Hobgoblin Murder,” is published by Bobbs-Merrill, sells for $2.

pions in all lines of educational work. Ail exhibitor entries will close Aug. 15. Classes are open to all types of commerce and Industry. The fair board has printed 100,000 advance tickets which will be sold for 25 cents each before the opening. Invitations have been issued to the ninety-two counties to organize fair industrial committees, whose duties will be to prepare exhibits representative of the various counties’ industries. Thirty-five counties already have organized such committees. The Manufacturers’ building has been redecorated for county displays. "The average citizen has little conception of the many products that are made in Indiana,” Mr. Townsend said. "I believe that the bringing together of such a group of exhibits from the counties will be profitable to industry and stimulate an interest in local communities.” Commencing Sept. 3 in the Coliseum the fair will present what is described as “America's finest and largest horse show.” In addition to prizes for show horses, SB,OOO will be offered in premiums for draft horses.

LABOR BOARD DROPS ACTION ON CITY MILLS Real Silk Case Awaiting Result of Election in Fall. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, July 19.—N0 further action will be taken in the National Silk Company and Fulton Silk Mills labor disputes in Indianapolis, it was announced today by the new National Labor Relations board. The cases, which were pending on the docket of the old NRA labor board, were struck off.
