STRl \UU\!\G CCTS TRAIN EXPENSES So AN HOFR LONDON. (UP) The nir resistance of high speed trains can be reduced by SO per cent without drastic departure from the aeeepted idea of a railway train, F. C. Jhansen, engineering research officer of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway, told a meeting of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. With ideal streamlining, the pos-
sible reduction of air resistance is one of 7.1 per cent, he said. The corresponding fuel economy is about. $5 an hour at 100 m.p.h. Altemtively, the maximum attainable speed could be increased up to 25 per cent, according to the degree of stream lining adopted. Streamlining is on tha whole more effective in dealing with the effects of side winds than against head winds in still air, he said.

Newest prize sought by collectors is the historic tavern sign. These colorful and richly traditional insignias which once graced the fronts of old inns and post road hostelries are now valued as objets d art and London and New York museums have recently staged representative shows. First-rate artists painted many of the old tavern signs, some of which are known to be the work of suck men aa Hogarth, Corregio, Gilbert Stuart and Porter.

Selma says her husband Robert has been missing for three days. Nora insists that Nick try to find him.
Chapter Three
The reputation of the Lichee Club was none too savory In fact, that part of ’Frisco in which the cabaret was located was the center of underworld activities. But this didn't stop a cosmopolitan inttux into the club. Since this was New Year's Eve, the place was packed. The orchostia cr what passed for one was as cheap, tingly and tawdry as the rest of the surroundings. Whatever reputation the place enjoyed camo from the fact that it was in tho •xact center of the Chinese section. and that it was smart, and a bit dangerous, to go there. Lots of faces that had achieved, or wore going to achieve, front page notoriety would bob up in the noisy, seamy, smoke-frescoed, second-story atmosphere of the Lichee, Few people who came to the club were in evening dress. Polly Byrnes was the featured singer on the current bill. What she lacked in voice she made up for in personality. She was not exactly an orchid in a bed of wildflowers, but she had tremendous vitality, and good looks of a strident, artiilcial sort. As she sang her glance darted back and forth between two figures. One was a young man with a handsome profile, a tipsy manner and

"There’s a lot of things you’ll have to explain before I’m through,” said Phil. He walked out but he had not gone ten paces before Dancer tpotted him. He read an inkling of what had happened on Phil's face, has - ened to his side and faced him in .1 way that quickly put a damper on the other's belligerent spirit. “What re you doing?” asked Dancer. "Shaking her down again? Lay off She’s busy.” "I know," said Phil succinctly. "What do you know?" demanded
Dancer.
"A ft w of the things that are going on here," replied Phil.

don't think you can ride too far on that ticket. Now stay away for
a couple of days."
They were standing near the top of the stairs. With a quick, barely visibly motion Dancer straightarmed the other. Phil went scrambling, half falling down the t tains. At the same moment Nick and Nora were on the way up. Nick managed to throw out his own arm just in time to avoid a disastrous
collision.
"Well, well!” he exclaimed. "B'g confetti they throw here!” Phil scowled. He twisted himself away, clutched for the railing, and was off. Nick dusted himself off. He smiled at Nora, feeling that this 1 was a real antidote for the depressing and dormant atmosphere of Uie Forrest home. "This is more like it,” he said
gaily.
"Too bad we didn't bring Aunt
Katharine," agreed Nora.
Dancer was none too happy as ho saw the identity of his latest visitor. He had had’a couple of brushes with Nick Charles before But ho shook hands with an impassive look

He was friendly when it paid to be Polly had plenty i self-assurance, but she found it doeerted her in the presence of her suave, steely-eyed young employer. When Polly came off the floor and started for her dressing room Dancer reached out and put a hand
on her arm.
"What's the idea?" he asked. "You d better not leave that guy." • I'm getting pretty fed up with him," said Peggy, restlessly. "It's just till tomorrow.” Dancer reminded her. "Then you can turn
him loose.”
"Tomorrow's a holiday,” said Peggy. “The banks’ll be closed."
