man many times while he WAS en-
ployed in Chicago. He says that he is
positive the noted crook is in this city.

the outside air, the flexible corrugated

Under ordinary conditions the pressure

storm approaches, and until the storm

For instance, supposing the wind from

we know that the storms center is to the
