HARD TO BELIEVE BUT TRUE Many Americans think it is ridiculous and say as much when they read in the news from time to time the statement that more meat is hoi ng". consumed by civilians in the U. S. luring- these war years than -was .being consumed before the var.' Yes, it does sound incrediblo to many who find the hutchev's me-it case bare much of the time. But, strange as it may seem, it's true that civilians are consuming more meat today than they were a few years ago. In pre-war days, you'll remember, and especially during depressions, meat was a luxury item for the majority of market baskets. Those who have comfortable family incomes jsually eat as much meat as they want. When the salary or .he dividends go up they naturally buy the better cuts of meat but actually not more meat. But then there are the millions of Americans who ordinarily must eat less meat of any 3uality'than they would wish. For them, full employment these days has meant more meat. And who could begrudge them their larger share?

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN . - Wes's expression was irritated. "Sure. Could have been an outsider. Somebody who never had a thing to do with the people here and was unknown here. Unknown " he broke off and brightened "except for the fact that he practiced that shot out by the summer house! So likely not unknown. I'll have a look at those marks in the.morning get an expert on such things !" "I'm something of a dendrochronologist, myself," Aggie said, touching his beard, "Dendrochronology is the science of telling dates by tree rings. But we can stretch it to include telling seasons by bark growth over knife stabs. The marks were made last winter.""Winter?" "Yes. I didn't deduce that exactly by the regrowth though if it had been winter before Jast, the bark would be pretty much healed. I'm telling it by the height from the ground of the tree with the big knot and the height of the 'marks both of which heights I gave you. As you can see, nobody could have afood on the ground and thrown a knife through a knotholetwelve feet off the earth in a slightly downWard direction to a tree twenty feet away." "Snow!" said Sarah. "Drifts!" . "Exactly. Somebody on snowshoes, probably. Not practicing to throw through a window. Just ambling around coining on the two trees realizing the setup was a test of skill and making a lot of tries.' I should say, not tries out superb shots. Know anybody who can throw a knife like that?" - ' The trooper looked guiltily at Aggie... "I well I think I could myself. I was a crack at it when I was a kid," "Nobody's here in the winter except Jack," Sarah said. "What about Jack?" Aggie asked. The trooper shrugged. "Search me. He's an athlete. I've seen a lot f him winters. He's swell company. Smart. ; "It's, silly, anyhow," Sarah said. 'He's such a " " lamb." Aggie .supplied her word. "I know. Well, he was, here, anyhow. Does he ever go away from here in the winter?" "Certainly," Sarah replied.' "He gets a whole month off for one thing. His vacation has to be in the winter. He goes down to New York to buy things for the club during the winter. Various people from Parkawan substitute for him. The club was closed last year for several weeks in January or February. Jack had the flu. He was in , Parkawan hospital." ; Aggie nodded. "In other words, anybody could have been! Jhr.wing knives in trees here last Winter! If we assume that the person who tossed a knife in that tree was the murderer we can probably ftsstime just assume that he was up here but winter on some errand connected vrith the whole business." laski State said. Nursery, Mr. Shaw J STATE TRAFFIC SHOWS INCREASE DURING MARCH INDIANAPOLIS, lnd., May 3. (Special) Traffic over Indiana l ighways gained 6.4 per cent during March over 1944, the St i-ite Highway Commission reported today. ' ' The commission maintains counters at 24 points throughout the state. Rises were general al-. though some counters indicated drcps, over Ihe 1!)44 figure. Greatest gain was evident on State Road, 13 south of No'lh Webster 28'.5 per cent while the liiggest 'drop wis recorded on U. S. 6 east of Nappanee where recorders showed tratlic 11.9 per cent, under 1944. Marion county roads showed a gain of 0.6 per cent., : DAILY TIMES OPEN FORUM Letters and interviews of a suitable nature and proper newspaper interest are sought for this column, the editor reserving the right to censor or reject any article he may deem is not suitable and proper.

"Trying to locate the gold cache," Wes said. "Well, probably. And if sothat person undoubtedly took great pains to make it appear that he or she was anywhere but in Indian Stones at the time." Probably 'left for a .vacation' in Florida' or what not. That means we'd have to check every alibi for everybody in the place for the best part of the winter.: We'd have to .check Hank Bog-arty-for the whole -winter out in Seattle " Wes grinned. "We re back to him again!" Aggie nodded, without annoyance. "What have you got? A knife, a calling' card,. a fox, an automobile, some veal bones that were in it. Incidentally the veal bone I spotted on the 'cellar floor ! What about it?" . ' ,'' : "Just veal," said Wes. "No teeth marks. No fox signs." . : 1 ' Aggie chuckled. "I'd all but forgotten that All right. You've got the deddfair and the bread and .the honey, ahd so on. You've got a wine cellar,, a. bottle of hock, an open cellar window, a secret door, secret safe that contains straw and some chips fronv "boxes. You've got broken telephone wires, a missing million in goU and' platinum that is real though absent. You've got a pair of shoe pacs that' Dr. .Davis dropped in Lower Lake.- That is, if you're the man I think you arc, you've got 'em." . Wes nodded, "There was blood on them a little trace in the leather. Same type as Calder's the expert says." ' ' , "Good! Then you've got two bodies one with a bitten hand all extremely concrete and tangible things. And 'yet you can?t even prove absolutely that either victim was murdered!'' , Aggie started to tick off names on his fingers. "First Bogarty. Sarah vouchsafes he was an intellectual bearcat. He knew the gold was around here. He's missing and is the number one possibility. Next Davis was a likely suspect for killing Calder. Davis may have discovered that Calder robbed the mutual till. And someone else may have killed Davis. Besides, Davis had the best motive on earth for doing in Calder. Calder ran off with his wife. Davis had no sound alibi for the night Calder died." Wes said, "He had one. So did Waite. I promised old man Waite I wouldn't bring it out unless I had to- but 111 tell you two on the same pledge., Waite. marriqd a chorus girl in the early nineteentens " ' ' " . . ' Sarah drew a prodigious breath. 'He did! , And never knew it! Why! That's that's practically treason!" '-.. : The policeman grinned. "He was ashamed of the woman. They had a daughter. The mother died Waite had paid her bills and taken care of her. Took care Df the kid after ' 1

ward. Saw her once in a while although he never let her know he was her father. He brought her to Parkawan several years ago about ten, as I recall. She went t school there and married there. The night Calder was killed she was taken fearfully sick. Her husband was away. She called Waite as an old friend. He called Dr. Davis.Waite told Davis who the girl was and Davis went to her house. Took an X-ray of her. Some sort of kidney stones. I found the plate in the darkroom. Checked it. Anyway ,: Davis got Waite's daughter fixed up and Waite was mighty relieved. The girl no need of your knowing her name didn't know who Davis was, either. I've talked to her. "And that's what Davis was doing between the time he left Danielle and the time he came back with the X-ray plate!" aHow long was he at the girl's home?- ; - , Wes shrugged. "An hour. Waite was there longerr-rcame in the afternoon, in fact but he left around two ,in the morning. A neighbor came in J the girl was asleep. I know what you're going to say, Aggie. An hour's liot enough. Two o'clock still left time. Each man had his own cari ' Each might possibly have run into Calder after, say, two o'clock and killed him and carried him up. on Garnet Knob. That deadfall might even have been made after daylight. I. never could decide. It's possible that Waite or Davis, coming back from that emergency, might have stopped at Calder' house . because there was a light on and killed him and hidden him in the woods and thought out -and figged up the bear-trap' dodge later in the day. . Possible. But you'd hardly think after a night such as they'd put in !" "On the contrary. You might think with equal logic that, having established such ' superb alibis, either man might feel: in the exact mood to carry out a scheme against Calder." : , . , The trooper looked at Sarah. leave it to you." . .. -.. "I vote with Aggie,". Sarah said. "That gives us three possible people people with opportunity people who had motivesor who could have had motives. Go on. Danielle had both. Hated Jim. Calder! Alone in her house. No check on her that night at all. Ralph Patton was alone in his house, too. I asked him.' His. motive could' be fear of Calder oV a desire to have Beth inherit and a plan to marry Beth or, Ralph could have taken the gold and' Calder could have found out. l)r Davis could have also found outiii later.
