Entered as second-class matter, July 1, 1908 in the Postotfice at Sullivan, Indiana, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1870. EXERCISE IN SUMMERTIME Don't spoil your vacation with unwise exercise, the Bureau of Publicity of the Indiana State Medical Association warned in a bulletin issued today. "Persons who have been sitting- at a desk for 50 weeks cannot bxpect to go out into the wide open spaces :and exercise strenuously for two short weeks withouttgetting into trouble," it said. . . ' "Unwise exercise does more than cause fatigue and sore muscles and an after-vacation let, down. Unaccustomed exercise or strenuous work may. stretch pull or rupture muscles. Also there may be a weakness of the heart or blood vessels and exercise will bring on a heart attack. A heart may be good enough to. keep an individual on, the job in the office but, unable to sustain the. additional load of mountain climbing, paddling, carrying of heavy loads over rough portals. . .... ; .,. .. .... . ... . ' ' , . "Athletes who have kept themselves in trim are excep
tions, but everyone who has allowed himself to become soft ihould work up to full muscle capacity gradually. ! "Another popular summer. practice which is not. without datiger is that of taking no exercise at all for six days in he week and then spending one day in violent physical exer
tion. This might be golf, tennis, riding, swimming, boating br heavy work on a farm. The only sensible exercise schedule
is one which allows for a certain amount every day. "Tin's is difficult for adults to arrange, so they, . should avoid too extended exertion on week-ends, and take mild forms of exercise like walking and the less strenuous games. "The most dangerous games for people who are not in condition are sustained games like fast tennis or handball. Golf on a hilly course may 'prove too much for aging hearts
and bodies out oi condition. . "Persons over 40 should remember this when vacationing. Stop short of severe fatigue. Becoming mildly and pleasantly tired is all right, so long as recovery is prompt. If exercise leaves you tired, ani depressed, with a rapid heart
wnicn aoes not siow down promptly, with a trembling feeling in 'the muscles, it is evident that you have gone too far with exercise. In this case you must do two things rest until you recover, then in the future avoid such strenuous exercise un
less you can work up to it gradually, f "The individual himself possesses a fairly good guide in . his sense of fatigue, but this cannot be depended on in certain types of heart disease. At any rate he may be sure that exercise is too strenuous if it is followed by a restless night or any sense of fatigue the next morning. ...... . "If after one hour of relaxed rest you are still conscious of considerable fatigue, next time shorten the amount or decrease the vigor of the exercise. It is highly important to avoid the strain on the circulatory system that results from
excessive exercise. And remember, with 'fldvsnHno-. Wnv
moderate bodily exertion is doa't exreise at all." LT. COL. I) IX IS ' AWARDED SILVER J STAR FOR GALLANTRY i "'LI. Col. Gerald J. Dix of, the United States Army .Air Corps, son of Mr. and Mrs. Porter Dix

- SYNOPSIS At the request of Geneva Benet, laughter of Captain . Benet in :harge of a fleet of obsolete vessels iying at anchor in the Chesapeake, Donald Colby, an ex-soldier, takes tht job as watchman, despite the fact that three predecessors have tnysteriously disappeared. As Col!y, Geneva, and Dutton, another watchman, approach the "Monticello," on which the girl lives with her father, three shots and a scream rent, the air. The captain is not I aboard. Colby and Mears,. watchman of the "Mount Vernon," find him. in a cabin of that ship, dying from a bullet wound. Asked who shot him, the captain's eyes turn to the figure of a dead man sprawled 6n the staircase nearby. Suddenly, a sound issues, from the passageway. Mears douses his flashlight. 'A figure appears and Colby tackles it. A jet of flame spews forth and in its light Colby is stunned to see the features of Geneva. Why was she on the "Mount Vernon" and why had she fired the automatic? The girl claims she thought he was "the others." Colby snaps "Don't He! You knew we were going to search the 'Mount Vernon'." Upon seeing Captain Benet, Geneva calls him "Connolly" and faints. Connolly dies. Xolby. suspicious of everyone, relieves M - xrs o his gun and orders him to take Geneva to her cabin. Colby then proceeds to search the dead.. The stranger was well dressed and evidently a university man. . In the smoking room Colby fmd3 a jimmy and a chisel. He wonders how. much Mears knows.: Colby goes to see if a key numbered 313. found on the stranger, fits cabin Cabin 313. As he approaches Cabin 291, someone fires at him. Shortly after, Mears appears with the news that the other watchmen have deserted, taking the only rowboat. Back on the "Monticello," Geneva reveals to Colby that, several years ago, a bogus Baron von Ehrenbreit and his accomplice Kraus robbed her mother of $250,000 worth of jewels. Since then her father died. Her mother is now a cripple and the family impoverished. The' thieves escaped to Europe on the "Mount Vernon." Connolly, a -private detective, believed Ehrenbreit and Kraus hid the gems .on board when captured by the German police and that they are still there. The prisoners were eligible for-release a few months ago and Connolly was sure they vould return for the loot. That accounted for his and Geneva's presence on board. A letter found on he dead stranger reveals that he-is Otto Vogel and that Ehrenbreit sailed last week. Colby also finds a scrap of paper on which is written: "The secret lies with the third girl, not white,' not yellow, nor red." What significance has that? Hearing a tapping noise, Colby and Gejieva investigate and come to) a stateroom from which ensues a German voice and that of Ferguson, the watchman" Connolly' had discharged and whom Colby had beaten on the vharf for insulting Geneva. Hearingfootsteps, Colby and Geneva hide in a closet oF .the adjoining cabin. Shortly after, the men come in and the sound of springs creaking and iron scraping reach Colby's ears. , CHAPTER XII While the air in the closet jprew more poisonous and sweat stood put alt over his face, -Colby wiuuli'i'i'tl at the iron self-control of his roinpan- . ion. A rare jjirl indevil. But now (liMK'va Benet twisted a lit tle spasmodically . and her whole body trembled. No woncbr, every breath was ajrony. Why wouldn't tho:e men p-;t out ! - . ;enc--'s 'ilonet bfgan slipping gradually -downwards. Was she fainting? A button on her jacket made a little scraping noise and Colby stiffened, finger tensed over the cold oily strip of steel which was the trigger. Had they taken alarm? He tried to listen but crazy red and green comets were racing1 around inside his eyeballs as he wedged the girl's body with his own. It sounded as if Tug and Ferguson were going out at last He fervently hoped so. He might be able to stand that fetid atmosphere perhaps twenty seconds longer then, come what might, he must get out. A booming noise as of surf on a reef beat in his eardrums, and only dimly-he realized that the girl had become an inert leaden weight. His knees began to buckle .under him so, crista dn necetsifr, he put out sweating hands and shoved at the wardrobe door. It gave a heart stilling creak Bnd flew violently open. A reviving rush of fresh air swept his dripping features and Geneva Benet tumbled out, semi-conscious. his home here where he has been on leave after being released from internment in a Ger-, man prison camp m April of this year and returned to the I United States. He was captured June 8th 1944 when his Mustang fighter . plane went down over j occupied territory. The citation read:v "For gallantry in action against the enemy from . 27 September, 1913 to 8 June 1944. Piloting a fighter type aircraft, Colonel Dix participated in many daring escort and attack missions against enemy installations in Continental Europe.

to lie with-long legs awkwardly asprawl at the feet of a big: blond man who stood staring open mouthed at this sudden dramatic eruption from the closet. Let this startled, blunt-featured individual in the dingy seaman's cap utter but a single cry and at least one quest for the Benet jewelry would be definitely at an end.' Instinctively aware of that fact Colby hurled himself across the cabin with the desperate speed Of a leopard seeking to -evade a trap. The other jumped back end instead of using his lists foolishly tried to pull out a revolver and so was borne heavily over backwards when Colby's one hundred and seventy pounds struck him. - The shock jolted Colby's Colt from his hand and it struck a wall with a crash, but : the ex-soldier never heard it, so intent was he in obtaining a firmer grip on his enemy's throat. He, though not especially big, was nevertheless powerful as though built of steel springs and rawhide, and he fought like a maniac. ' In the dimly lit cabin began a struggle which was not less ferocious for being silent. Only the quick thump of feet and legs flailing the gritty floor. Colby's whistling gasps for breath and the thud of bodies rolling over and over broke the stillness. When his enemy's fists crashed again and again into his sides and thudded off of his shoulders, Colby's lingers only sank the deeper into the pulsing, muscular flesh about the other's throat. Next his vnemy again tried for a knife or pistol, but yielding to panic as sulfocation commenced to- set in, unwisely abandoned hw en ore ami reached upwards, clawing wildly at Colly's eyes. The cx-soklier dodged' desperately and reared his head back as far as possible, then, on discovering he crfuld not by this strategy thwart his long-armed antagonist, suddenly rolled over with intent to pin one of those clawing arms against the edge of the bunk. The unknown, however, seized the opportunity to drive his knee sharply into the pit of Colby's stomach. . ' . i Colby gasped, saw blinding flashes of flame before his eyes and felt his fingers slacken. Only 'sheer willpower and a glimpse of the girl now crouching dazedly, before the cabinet steeled him into maintaining his grip. Gradually his enemy's motions grew feebler and when presently his straining body relaxed into a convincing limpness, Colby promptly loosed his grip; no use killing the fellow. Sweat blinded and weak from the searing barbs of-pain shooting through his abdomen, he lay gasping for what seemed an interminable period, lie was aroused by a subtle sound and beheld Geneva Benet- passing an uncertain hand before her eyes at .last she called in a low'voice. . i"Ai you all right?" "Yes are you?" . "I I'm afraid I fainted bad air always gets me " "You were fine come on, we've got to go." Colby then lashed his weary body back into obedience and after retrieving his pistol heaved the unconscious man over his shoulder silently as he might. It was on the bare springs of a settee in a cabin well aft on C (lack that Colby deposited his burden and then heaved a deep sit-'h of relief. "Shall I switch on the light again?" ""Yes, but muffle it." When Ceneva Benet obeyed, Colby cast her a quick glance and saw that she seemed fully recovered; her :!iuare liulo mouth was firm once more and her body, in its contour revealing gray jersey, no longer quivered as it had there in the closet. . he dead?" she demanded. "He hasn't even stirred." . "No. But he's-out rold as a witch's tooth" replied the gaunt victor as he played the flash over the other's pallid face and purplered throat. "Looks like maybe hell be present but not voting for quite a while." "Oh dear! Your face dt he's scratched you terribly, and your chin is swelling " "Had to take some," he said,-, "as well as dish ib out I'm all right, though. Now let me think a minute." As a result of their , adventpres since reboarding this mouldering liner Colby found himself considerably at a loss. Despite Geneva Benet's strange remark about Ehrenbreit's labors in cabin 313, he was beginning to doubt that Herr Vogel's enigmatic slip of paper had aav serious connection with the mance at dusk with a formation of twelve (12) aircrafi, he sighted and attacked fifteen (15) JU87 dive bombers. Directing his fighters with expert skill, the entire formation was shot down ; before they could reach the invasion coast, Colonel Dix destroying one (1) and sharing in the destruction of another. The superior airmanship and aggressive combat tactics consistently ! displayed by Colonel Dix ! througRnit this period, contributed immeasurably To the ultimate defeat of the enemy." Lt. Col. Dix also saw action in the Pacific Theater where he was twice wounded. His long service record is studded with heroism and high devotion to duty. His decorations total nine in addition to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater of '.Operations and the European Operations ribbons with campaign stars.

1 case. Ehrenbreit gave every indication of being very sure of what he was doing and of where the loot was hidden. "Had enough of this business?" he demanded suddenly, turning his flash into her. hot, but still lovely features. . , "No. Have you?" "Hold the flashlight then." "What are we going to do?" the girl breathed, her gray eyes troubled and wide. "Hold the flash, Sister, and if you must talk speak quieter." Very precise and business-like, Colby with his jackknife cut the canvas straps from a pair of life preservers tucked in a rack overhead, and with these secured the still unconscious Hans hand and foot. As though perfectly decided on his course of action and only occupied with details, Colby applied an efficient gag contrived of his red bandanna handkerchief then, panting slightly aiyl with blue eyes agleam, straightened from his exertions. ' "Now listen, Sister," he directet; in clipped accents that seemed is issue without movement from thct narrow brown lips, "I'm going h low to keep an eye on Ehrenbreit. Go up on deck and find Wears nc matter where he is." "Mears don't you think 1" "Do what I say. Jf he get3 ga I can handle him." i An incredulous smile flitted over Geneva Bsnet's features. "Mears and the German's crowd as well?" "Yes. I've handled tougher hom-bre-i than that." He wiped his face ou hip sleeve and running lingers through his rumpled red hair went on. "Tell him to meet me in front of cabin 'ill. He'd know where that is?" , "Yes, But but it's too risky. Geneva Benet looked quite concerned.. "They might see you anc; there are at least lour of them." "Three now," Colby corrected with a reckless smile and pointed to the German lying bound and apparently still unconscious on the settee. The girl looked a little .wonderin gly at this wiry brown figure towering over her. "Suppose I can't find Mears?" : "Stay up on deck. I want you to in any case." "What! You aren't going to tackle those three men alone?" : "A quarter of a million's worth it and and " he grinned jtnl looked ten years youngs, "anu so are you. Now get movii;.." he did. But as she brushed past him she quite suddenly paused and the warm softness of her lip brushed his sun darkened cn-.-i, lightly as the touch of a xallir.L bubble. ' .. "After all, you are rather splendid," she murmured and stepped by. The light was out so she saw nothing of the curious exprtfysio-. which swept over the ex-ioidicr' .scarred -features-. - :- - When Geneva "Beuet's last fain' footfalls had, faded away, he thu--.'. the Colt into his trousers bcit, unbuttoned his coat and made his w.- y down to D deck and there tipto J forward until he became aware oi. , curious hissing noise which gre--.-steadily louder until it) sounded ' the Mount V.ernmi'g hull like t!,--warning of some colossal :ei " e:.t An icy rivulet of apprehers:--chilled his spine when to his nost. came the faint reek of , burnii.gpaint. When he tui?d a corner and entered Hie passage oft' which Number Si: opened he paused abruptly. A narrow section of the passage panels were reflecting an unearthly blue light! It apparently was beating out of the door of cabin 311. Instantly there flashed into CoIon's mind a vision of Etta Pike's sino'l;-; lunchroom, of the pimply boy speaking of 'ha'nts,';and of 'them queer blue lights' seen by the Widow Cla burne. I Ex-Colonel Colby was still a goo; hundred feet away when he definitely recognized the origin of th noise. - Clearly Ehrenbreit's hr;., men were hard at work with an e acetylene torch. "Them Navy guys sure put in .t ' bulkhead what was a bulkhead,'-' complained Tugr's thin nasal tones. "Quit squawkin' and git a move on, urged fergusnn. "It's too cussed quiet around here to ho nacheral, and I don't like Hans not showin' up neither." "Ack, Hans can take'eare of himself he vill come in a minute now." Colby drew nearer and watched the play of the electric blue glare now and then eclipsed by some man's shadow. They had at least a couple of lanterns in there.
