FREE INFORMATION
 TO MOTOR TOURISTS
A. A. C. Plans Countrywide
 Community Building Project Soon

Minneapolis, Minn., July 19-A program of free information to the travelling motorist in every American city and community large enough to boast a name is being planned for the Associated Advertising clubs of | the World here.
 Perry S. Williams. vice-president of the community advertising depart ment of the organization, and man. ager of the Minneapolis Journal trav- el and resort bureau, is developing the plans, which include the estab- lishment of information stations in every state having wherever possible no greater distance than 25 to 50 miles between stations.
 40 Million Own Cars.
 Tt is possible to place more than one-third of the population of the United States in privately owned automobiles at one time today" Mfr. Williams declared. At least forty million of our people, therefore, can tour wherever and whenever their fancy strikes them.
 "The railroads have built up an extensive system over the nation for encouraging passengers train travel and for giving information concern ing this mode of touring Great as the motor travel field Is at the pres ent time, its future possibilities are stupendous with automobiles being purchased with the rapidity they now are and will continue to be-"
 For Live Towns.
 Mir. Williams explained that not every section of the country can be a tourist terminal but the resort bu- reau manager pointed out that every community can place itself on the most desirable highway to and from some resort or vacation center through the establishment of a sta tion to form the nationwide chain of service to the motorists.
 Just as the railroads in an earlier day took their routes by way of communities which had proved good trading points or by dint of the ef- forts of the first citizens had built themselves up as important centers,

give you five dollars if you'll take q note to the young lady up there, Mis-: Patricia, and see that she gets il quietly. Do you understand ?"
 Tn quick flash of memory Mile. ., recalled the deep blush which hat mounted in the young girls face wher during their first interview at Johr Wells office she mentioned the 'Kemr place. and a light broke over him.
 T think I do. sir" He smiled slightly
 You're all right" Kemp clapped him on the shoulder. There won't be any immediate answer but I'll be at-at the place she knows every evening at six, sharp Here you are." | He produced an envelope and a five dollar bill, both of which Miles accepted gravely.
 Thank you, sir. I'll deliver the note myself-Goodby, sir" He drove speedily back to the Drake estate and around the garage to put up the car As Miles de- scended from the car he beheld a battle-scarred tom-cat clawing to , reach a plate of stale meat on high shelf Taking the envelope from his pocket containing the five tablets. he selected one of them and, rolling 1t in a small piece of meat he dropped it on the floor. With growl the cat bounced upon it. For a moment the animal crouched and then it's eyes widened with a look of almost human surprise It rose. turned in waver .ts al at O. faxed rather than fell upon its side with all four feet outstretched and the lurid eyes filmed.
 So Roger had not been bluffing, after all As Miles replaced the en- velope in his pocket, his fingers came in contact with another, the one which Hobart Drake had dropped on the dining room floor. What could 1t have contained to drive him into such a tempest of fury?
 The detective was turning 1t over speculatively in his hands when sud denly he uttered sharp exclamation, He needed no magnifying glass to verify the truth; the cancelled stamp had been transferred from another envelope and the postmark was forgery. That letter had never passed through the mails.
 CHAPTER VI.
 It was close to midnight when stocky figure enveloped in heavy ulster wormed its way through a gap in the hedge and started circuitous course about the Drake house.
 A faint gimmer showed on the third floor and silhouetted against the dim patch of light appeared the pro- file of a man The watcher below picked up a handful of loose gravel which he flung against the window,
 Almost instantly the light was ex- there came the slight, grating sound of a carefully raised sash, and the tiny spark of a cigarette gleamed just above the sill. A low, peculiar whistle emanated from the lips of the nocturnal visitor and the cigarette, describing a wide arc. fell upon the lawn almost at his feet as the window was softly closed once more.
 In a few moments the kitchen door opened and Owen Miles in the sweat CT and sneakers of his nightly vigil slipped around the corner of the house.

 The results of the campaign were constantly kept before the public, and where one community fell down, special effort was made from national headquarters to help it out. The snow ball. started rolling, grew into an avalanche and the period of depres- sion passed"
