THE SAME OLD NOISE
At least two of the opposition witnesses to
the. World
Socuritv Charter at the Senate hearings in Washington are familiar to readers of "Under Cover," Roy Carlson's book. Mrs. Agnes Waters of Washington testified that "what we need is a good old-fashioned American revolution." Of her "Under Cover" said: "Mrs. Agties Waters, a professional mother from Washing-ton, brsadfld sugar rationing' as n Jewish plot to 'eomnuvntze America Wanning up to her subject, she screeched t 'There aie 200,000 Communist J;ws at the Mex;ean border waiting to get; into this country. If they are admitted they will rape every woman and child that is left unprotected.' " Mrs. Grace Keefe of Chicago tes tified she wondered if it was "decent" to "rush this cha.'ter through the Senate" in the absence of so many members', of the armed forces. She said the charter in effect "is an instrument insuring our involvement. in all future wars." Of her "Under Cover1 reported: "The Chicago group We, the Mothers, Mobilize for .America, Inc. reached ;ts lowest ebb of unmotherly' infamy when over the signature of Mrs. Grace Keefe. it sent a letter to a. Louisiana mother mourning the death of her son on the high seas: ' "'Legal experts advise that if my soldier, draftee, or otherwise loses his life while executing orders which his superiors have 'no' constitutional authority tn- give,- then those officials can be sued as private citizens. We owe it to our 'overt dead, to the country for which they died, to call to account those who violated our Constitution and heartlessly placed our men in the danger zone between two waning nations while we were at peace. "'' ' ' " 'We, the mothers of American boys, beg you to place the blame for the death of your son where it belongs, and noi be deceived by propaganda into blaming a foreign power. Tn
the name of justice we ask you to call to justice the reai murderers of your loved ones."' . . t . v These two examples give an idea, of some of the forces opposing the Charter. Because the grftat majority of 'Americans did not fall for their line, their campaign, for isolation uid confusion during the war failed. We must not let them -vreck the peace: '

CHAPTER XII Speaking in his painfully correct English the Japanese announced. "This is almost certainly some form of the lexicon, or book cypher; the presence of these vertical bars are conclusive. The numbers set off by them indicate pages and lines." Fiaschetti suddenly became voluble. "Look, my friends, in all the message the highest twice barred number is sixteen therefore the key is not a book, but more likely a pamphlet or a " " A newspaper, North China News perhaps?" Chao Ku came waddling across the laboratory with it in his pudgy hand. An almost tangible tenseness invaded the brilliantly lit laboratory. Then everyone began talking at once. ''Letter frequencies will tell the story, no?" predicted the Italian. "It should not be difficult to break." But it was. No amount of calculation, transposition nor mathematics availed the perspiring cryptographers, and by two o'clock no real progress had been made. Precious time was slipping like quicksilver . through the fingers, so North followed an old rule of his and temporarily abandoned the problem. Leaving Kilgour and his assistants hard, at work, he drove to his quarters at the American Club and from its library files extracted a copy of The North China Daily bJeiva similar to the one causing so many headaches in the Central Police Station. From a sleepy night :lerk he secured a foot rule and then retired to his room where, heaving a grateful sigh, he undid his high collar and then pulled off his dress shirt. Supremely comfortable in trousers and singlet, he crossed to his desk and laid upon it the ruler, the newspaper and, lastly, the sheet imprinted by Chao Ku's hard pencil. Yawning, he. lightly darkened the back of the sheet until the marks upon it appeared. By propping his work before his bureau mirror the inverted numbers appeared normal and he copied them off. . This done, Hugh North lit his pipe and commenced a slow prowl around the room. Deliberately seeking to forget the problem, he crossed to his window and stared down upon the Bund. At this late hour the great avenue was deserted by all but barrow coolies trundling produce to market and a few miserable wretches scavenging along the gutters. - Out on the Whangpoo the riding lights of half a dozen warships blinked like the eyes of sleepy cats when the steel monsters swung to a changing tide, and oft' to his right hundreds of primitive lights in the sleepless Native City shone reyellow instead of white-yellow) as fn the French Concession. Was Luther Adams, hiding or a prisoner, somewhere in that direction?
"Get there first," G-2 had said. Uml What disasters did not impend if he failed? He dared not dwell, even for a moment, upon the magnitude of his responsibility. Odd how things happened sometimes. Everything indicated that someone, probably the killer of Louis Larousse, had carefully burnt a sheet of paper in the living room of suite 1315, and then had thrown it out of the window, quite unaware that an air current had promptly blown the ashes into the adjacent bathroom. Despite all discouragements, he sensed the newspaper to be as much a part of the problem as the folding rultf. And what about that rule? It presented a promising but singularly difficult clue. Why should a potential murderer carry a folding rule about with him? Had it been the property of Larousse? Or of Adams himself? In the morning he would give the point thorough consideration in the Central Station laboratory; somewhere so intricate an affair as the folding rule might conceal a hint of vital importance. Were they making any progress at the Central Station? ' He was troubled his imagination itched and he didn't know where to scratch. Up on Nanking Road a clock sleepily banged out the hour of three. Slowly rumpling his strong black hair, Hugh North went over the possible uses of such a rule granted it was not intended for its essential purpose. But suppose in this case it had been Used to measure something? Too often investigators were prone to discount an obvious explanation simply because it was obvious. Adopting the thesis the murderer had required a ruler to measure with, he racked his brains while thinking of the rule in connection with the rest of the evidence. Burnt paper? Envelope? Newspaper? Ilia restless parade came to a sudden halt beside the desk and even while he snatched up the sheet of numerals, his gaze sought the newspaper. Just out of reach fluttered an idea, but it remained infuriatingly elusive. . On inspiration, North picked up the telephone and called a police number reserved for Inspector Chao Ku. "I'm getting nowhere fast, Chao, so I'd like company. Can you drop in?"- - "This person is overwhelmed with unmerited honor. As with the wings of morning I hasten to American Club.". Inexplicably, the hitherto elusive idea crept into North's mental fingers just as he replaced the receiver and almost breathlessly he caught up the ruler. As usual it was subdivided into eighths, quarters and sixteenths. A consultation of the code message showed a figure nine set off by double bars, so he opened the Daily News to its ninth page and smoothed the rustling newsprint before him with fingers which
trembled just a little. Then for quite a while his gray-blue eyes flashed over it. .. He was aroused from his calculations by a gentle knock. "Tsai chin?" "Yao slien-maV "Inspector Chao Ku, Tajen." "Come in." Smiling, Captain North shot back the door bolt; of all the men at the Central Station, Chao Ku was the only one to whom he dared unburden himself. "The Hour of the Rat has brought success," the little Chinese predicted when, clasping a shapeless black felt hat over his stomach, he paused on the threshold. "Possibly. How are they making out over at the Central?" "Feet of their progress are shod with Slippers of lead. Will Tajen have incredible patience to explain how he broke cypher letter?" ""Just as our friend Fiaschetti said, it's a lexicon cypher, Chao, and those numerals before the bars really indicate page and line numbers. But what he didn't perceive was that whoever made up the code was clever enough to go one step further." Chao Ku blinked apologetically while placing his hat on the bureau. "Another step, Tajen?" "Yes. This system isn't really difficult but it's odd because it's a combination of two simple forms of cypher writing. It's the old foot rule cypher added to the lexicon idea." "But why use old newspapers?" "I suppose the writer thmight copies two weeks old would be harder to get which is true but forgot that possession of such an old paper would ai'ouse any observant person's suspicions." . " 'Any observant person'? Though Li Tai-po has sung of such modesty, I have never before been witness. Tell me, Tajen, numbers set off by dashes possibly indicate divisions on enigmatic ruler?" "That's the idea. After a bit of figuring I found the key division. It's an eighth of an inch. Here on line twenty-cme my next number is eighteen.". Using a sharp pencil point, North counted off eighteen eighths, coming to a stop beneath a letter T which he promptly added to the end of the word 'tonight.' . A few minutfes later the two surveyed a thoroughly decoded but sadly incomplete message and fawned over its curious implications. : It said in part: 'Dankoff: - will find your man - room 1311, Mandarin House. Take him ........ cost ..... agreed place tonight - - arrival - - - call - Chen, .... Coloniale. Take all ..........' And though this was all there was, North could once more hear that sibilant voice behifid the flashlight saying, "You ane Leonid Dankoff." (To Be Continued)' Copyright bi r. Van Wjck Mtson; !

here is some air movement. A
north wall opening in the laying house will let cool air come in and create air circulation, suggests, Joe W. Sicer, Purdue University Extension Poultryman. Open the windows under the dropping boards or above the roosting racks, Sicer suggests. If no windows are there, now would be a good time to cut the openings. The sash culd be fitted in before next fall. One six-light 1Dx15 barn' sash about every J2 fet:t along the back wall should
be enough. Where the opening is to be just above the roosfs, a storm sash, two windows, would protect against winter drafts. Extreme, heat often causes heat prostration in hens. Pans of cool water on the floor, where the hens can reach them easily, will keep chickens more comfortable. ... i Do not try to cool the house by spraying or sprinkling it with water. That raises the humidity and makes the heat more difficult for the hens to endure. In the event hens are overcome by the heat they can often be revived by gently running cool water over their bodies and keeping them in a cool spot away from the other birds for a while.
