CONTINUED NEED FOR PRICE CONTROL The public is to' be warned of the danger of inflation after this war unless rigid price control and rationing- is .continued. Government agencies are preparing, to conduct this vitally important campaign and OPA is convinced that, the best way to' drive home its argument for continued control is to review what happened after World War I. That war, you will recall, was relatively short and did not involve the number of inert or the 'vast amount of money that'is going- into, the present struggle. But the lid blew off months after the 1918 Armistice. . Butter sold for 34 cents a pound at the start of that war, jumped to 66 cents at the end of the war, and then soared to 78 cents at the peak of inflation after the-war. Eg-gs selling at 30 cents at the start of the. war were selling- at 74 cents at the end, and (J2 cents' when inflation knocked down the value of the dollar. During- that period sugar increased from 5 cents td 26 cents a pound (largely because of speculation plus inflation). .The price of bread almost doubled and potatoes went from 2.6 cents a pound to 10 cents. ""Most Americans are earning-more today than they have in years but' this increased income will be' of little value if prices are permitted to soar," OPA' says. And history does have a way of repeating itself.

CHAPTER NINETEEN . "How was it at' the" summerhouse?" asked Aggie quietly. "Spooky," Danielle answered. . . . Then, realizing she liad admitted being there, she gasped. "That's mean! Tricky. All right. Dad is Worried about something, lie won't talk.' Somebody's dead. I'm worried. This person Bog-arty is niisaing. I began to' think that he njig'ht be banging around here somewhere! Hiding1. I thought over t$ie places to hide. I remembered that aummerhouse good shelter ahd nobody's been there for years and years. I decided to look at it. That' all." "You've got nerve going alone." , "I generally go alone in this world. ', And I sneaked up," besides. There was nobody in it and there hadn't been forever, just about." Aggie paddled among the islands near the beach. They could hear voices and splashing. But t hey were still out of sight and the island!! were very quiet, as was the water between them. He was thinking about What she had said. Up ahead, a hundred or more" yards, he saw the bow of a rowboat. As he took another stroke, the goat's occupant ctne into view. It Was Dr. Davis. He was making a long, minute search of the region opposite to theirs. A quality of 'urtiveness was so' evident in the stare that Aggie automatically stopped the motion of his canoe with a silent backthrust of the paddle. He expected that the surgeon would search in the other direction and ' see them, but Dr. Davis had evidently assured himself of privacy in that quarter. Beside the doctor, on the seat, was a tackle box. A casting rod lay across the boat's gunwhale. He opened the box hastily, took out a tray, peered ahead again, and then lifted something else. As he did so, Aggie saw Danielle turn along the line of his gaze and look. She opened her mouth. Her father lifted the object or. objects it looked like two and hefted them, He then raised them to throw them overboard. Aggie was watching intently, because he felt sure that he could identify the things when tbey were i ft the air. But he had no chance. Danielle saw his acute scrutiny-and overturned the canoe. . ' ' As he felt himself arc toward the water," Aggie kept looking at Dr. Davis. He thought but only thought that the things thrown were shoes. Then the water closed over his head: He came up, swimming hard. He looked for the girl and she rose near by. "Sorry," ghe Siaid, treading water. "I saw Dad-"" and lost my balance." . , , '; : The surgeon, startled by" the splash, had evidently spun around, seen them go under, and manned his oars. He coasted up to them. He looked shaky to Aggie 4ut Aggie's position in the water made accurate observation diflicult. . The doctor was certainly smiling, in any case. He said jokingly, "Service de

luxe! Rescue before you send out an SOS." Danielle grabbed one of his oars as he went on: "Haven't you been taught better canoeing than that, girl? Don't you know that when you wheel around like a dervish in a canoe it tips 1 Or are you as absent-minded as your old man who's just thrown his anchor over without remembering to tie a rope on it? , f'l saw you," Danielle said. "It was the old anchor, anyhow. The rusty one. Stupid!" ' Aggie glanced from one to the other. Then he swam to the canoe which had not been dumped. lie scrambled aboard; over' the bcw. They were covering each other nicely, he thought. It hadn't been an anchor. Brown, low shoes, he was almost certain. But, ninetynine persons out of a hundred would have believed it had been an anchor, after i that exchange, no matter what their first impression had been. Quick thinking. Too quick for comfort. Aggie said, "Maybe we can persuade you to row the derelict over to the beach, doctor? I'll take Danielle aboard for another trial or if she's afraid she can go with you." ( Danielle climbed into the canoe the way Aggie had. The doctor took the towel painter. They started. Dahielle said, "I hope you aren't going to tell any of the stuff yon gathered from me this afternoon. It isn't really evidence, at all. Just nonsense." He did not reply. She looked at her father for a moment and her face became paler. It was the paleness of anger, and of fear. "You wouldn't," she said, as if to assure herself . "You've got manners. And I'd cross you up! I'd deny I'd heard chopping the other night! I'd make you look like a fool again! It's easy, you know. You wouldn't dare try it!" It was a kind of moral cheating an exercise of illegal, feminine force and a threat. She was frightened because of what he had seen her father do. In her fear translated to wrath she was insulting. He looked at her until she looked away. "I would," he said, "if I wished. And you know it." , When he reached Rainbow Lodge, be found Sarah bursting with news. "Wes stopped by," she said. "He asked for you. Had to go on. Hank Bogarty is dead."Aggie's face was surprised and, in a moment, blank. He waited. His aunt seemed curiously relieved and more like her old self: 1 . ' -- "Some youngsters were fishing in !,Upper'Lake beyond here on the main road. They fished up an automobile headlamp and it wasn't rusty so they told the state troopers'. They grappled for the car and got it. Washington State -license tag. They telephoned about it and the car was Hank's, all right. He'd bought it quite recently.

road bends. People have driven in before. There's a new cable fencebut it's evidently too short. He went off beyond the end of it The marks were clear enough whcti they looked for tbem. Nobody had noticed until they did." "Maybe now," Aggie said quietly, "you'll tell me about Hank." As he watched her consider that, he iwent on musingly, "Bum way to die. Drown in a car. Gives methe willies. Or was he cracked hard enough '!" "They haven't found his body yet," she replied absently. "It must have been thrown cut. They're Looking now." She made a stifled sound. She looked at her nephew in abrupt dread. "Suppose they never find it? Suppose there isn't an; body! Suppose he walked away rum that wreck and !" "And what?" Aggie said with a voice that was blisterintrly quiet. "I'm waiting for you to tell me that, Sarah." Aggie Plum stopped his aunt's station wagon at the side of the road and scrutinized Upper Lake. It was a typical mountain lake two miles long, possibly shoaling into an extensive sphagnum bog. On the end near the main highway there were miniature cliffs; the water below them had a blue luminosity that indicated depth. On the far side were several cottages. Two large row-boats were moving slowly upon the lake surface. Ropes bung over their sterns. A truck was parked under a marginal grove of red pines and beside the truck stood a car that had been in an accident. Its wheels were wracked and awry. A headlight was missing. The top had been bashed. Along a cable fence that bordered the highway stood several persons interestedly watching the scene. Aggie stepped from his car and spotted Wes Wickman. The two men came together at a spot some distance from the nearest spectator. "Found anything?" the scientist asked. The state trooper shook his head. "No body. Not yet It's Hank Bogarty's car, all right. .Whoever he is. Or was." Aggie nodded. "I've put the bee on Sarah about him just now but I can't learn anything. He was somebody something that she doesn't want to discuss." "Waite and Davis were the same way. They had so much to say about how little there was to say that I know there's more. Incidentally!" .' Aggie lifted inquiring eyes. "I need you, Plunv ' tihnf you ( came. There were some bones in ' the car." i " . "Bones!" "Yeah." "What kind of bones?" "That's what I thought you could tell us. Bones are your specialty hunh?" (To be continued) Courrielil. 1913. lu Phillo Wvlu: DutnuuM uj Kins Kcmurei gradient. Inc.
