raid in plain sight Of three nurses. Had
there been a light in the ward the
nurses must have seen the crime COM
mitted. for the cot Of the victim was
IN direct line with the door. Right
opposite this door was the bench on
which the nurses had been sitting. They
weren't frivolous young nurses. They
we're women of efficient middle age,
thoroughly responsible not only in their
work, but in every other respect. To
doubt their statements that they oil
had been sitting there ut the time,
and that there was not even fash Of
light in the ward was out Of the ques-
tion.
Yet Don" Osterman had been mur
dered right in front of their eyes. Os-
terman was an underworld character,
the head Of n dope" ring, though the
authorities had never been able to get
evidence enough to convict him. lie
was in the hospital because he had been
shot and wounded by some unknown
enemy. He had more of these than

Brannigan, sis how anybody could

most men have acquaintances. There
was no way Of telling which Of the
hundreds had done It; whether IL was
the same man who had shot him or not.
The murderer had jabbed a piece of
eye and into the brain as he lay on his
cot. He had died without a sound.
All they knew was that he had been
killed between 2 and 2 80 in the morn
ing, for every half hour one of the
nurses went into the ward and turned
up the light to attend to one Of the

by one Of the patients In the same ward.
or by some one from outside the ward,
for there was door opening on au-
other corridor from that In which the
nurses sat, and anybody using that door
might with luck get to almost any point
In the hospital without being seen.
But the murderer must have been
somebody inside the building, for there
was but one unbarred entrance. the
front door, and a watchman was on
duty there.

Anselm grunted disapproval OF the

On January 2lst the Paige Daytona Model
6-66 broke every stock car record for speed
when it covered a measured mile in 35.01
seconds-a pace Of 1923 miles per hour.
This marvellous feat was accomplished on
the sand beach at Daytona, Florida and both
the time and chassis checking are officially
attested by the Contest Board Of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association.
Today, therefore, Paige stands as the un-
questioned stock car champion of the world.
And, what is even more, the entire line of
Paige $50 Models is revealed as the most i'm
portant automotive development of the age.
Henceforth these cars must be recognized
by the entire world as Speed Masters of the
highway. There need never be humiliating
dust for the $50 owner because he will drive
with the serene confidence of the true
champion-and his horn blast will be more
than an idle boast.

The Fastest Stock Car in the World

If you would be convinced, take just one
demonstration in Paige 6-66 Model and
judge it from the standpoints of power,
speed, acceleration, spring suspension and
general motor efficiency.
Get the facts-actual lapsed time of the tests
-and make record on the demonstration
card which we will furnish.
Then, take a second demonstration in any
other carat any price-and compare
the results. That is all we ask and it is
all that any good sportsman could possibly
desire.
And remember, please, when you ride in the
6-66 you arc riding behind an exclusive
Motor-a six cylinder power plant that you
will find in the Paige and no other car in
the world.
We repeat, take just one demonstrations
and draw your own conclusions.

GAIN ADVANCE
Bill Permitting Them to At
tend Political Meetings, is
Adopted in Toxic
ANOTHER STEP
NEARER SUFFRAGE

TOXIC. March 2.-The rights OF
women in Japan were advanced a
step yesterday when the House Of
Representatives adopted a bill giving
women the right to attend political
meetings. The measure anulled a
law which prohibited women from
joining political associations or be-
ing present at political gatherings.
IL has been commented upon as an
important advance towards the
emancipation OF Japanese woman
hood.
The bill, which was given a pre-
liminary discussion and referred TO a
committee Of the House early this
month. was supported in a strongly
worded address signed by thousands
Of women and presented TO the
chamber. They asserted that to
deny women access to political
knowledge and political activity was
a serious injustice. and that the ex-
isting law was not in keeping with
the spirit Of the times.
A motion authorizing the appoint
ment OF a commission 10 investigate
the Corean situation was rejected by
the House OF Representatives yester-
day after Torijiro Nakano, an Inde-
pendent. who had introduced the re-
solution had declared that condi-
tions would become worse IL they
were allowed to drift and would
lead TO serious developments.
Reference to the assassination Of
Dngen Shoku. the Corean who was
slain here two weeks ago. was made
by NJ. NakaDo, who said IL the

nifcance Of the C0rean's murder.

Trading in Russia.

The Russian Soviet has placed
an order for 500 locomotives with
the Krupp Company, in Ger
many, and has apparently made
arrangements for paying for
them that are satisfactory to the
Krupp managers.
This is one of the best things
that could happen. If Germany
can revive an active commerce
with Russia a long step will have
been taken toward the restora-
ton of Europe. Despite what
is said to the contrary, Germany
will not for years be able to COM
plete in the overseas trade. But
she is close to Russia; she knows
Russian commerce if anyone can.
And only through selling goods
in Russia can Germany gather
the resources to pay her indem-
nifty bills.
