"A houseboat=down Duck har-
Dor was-anchored off one of the
best bathing beaches to the west, be-
tween us and the city. A lot of the
young folks chartered it and chose
that spot because it was far from the
Club and yet not too far out from
the city. It's a bit out of the way,
but that makes them practically own
the beach and that end of the har-
Dor for their swimming races and

by the girls of the younger set and
it's not for theslikes of us, Guy to
tell the young idea how it shall shoot
away its time any more"
These dance palaces and caba-
refs" pondered Garrick, considering,
have given new twist to crime"
"And the pace! How do they do it
on their allowances? Cut them
off to next to nothing. They seem
to go right on. There's something
mighty queer about it all. You will
look into it for me-"
Indeed l will, Nita. Glad of the
opportunity. I'm rather fed up on
country life just now, anyhow. Be-
sides, I'd like nothing better than to
set some of these youngsters right"
Nita Walden glowed her thanks
and was whisked away.
Garrick took a turn or two across
the deserted end of the veranda.
A couple of years before the war,
Garrick, just out of college, of fine
family and some fortune, had de-
clded to dilettante his way into de-
tective life.
There must be something new in
order to catch criminals NOWADAYS"
he told friend. "The old methods
are all right-as far as they go. But
criminals are keeping up with
science"
But what a hobbyw his friend
had returned. "Never knew anyone
IN our set ever to take up that!"
Its just our set that needs it
most. We're always shaken down,
blackmailed, victimized, imposed on
until we, the wise ones, are the
easiest marks of ALL"
So, in his casual way, Garrick had
travelled to London, Paris, Berlin,
Vienna, where he had studied the
amazing growth abroad of the new
criminal science. 1t was not merely
desultory With his careless predi-
lection, he had absorbed nearly
everything from such men as Gross,
Lacassagne, Reiss, all the successors
of the day of the immortal Bertillon.
Next strange thing happened.
The war broke out, and before he
knew it, he was drawn into brilliant
service in the Office of Naval Intel
hgence, from which he emerged a
Lieutenant Commander.
Then for four years he had settled
back into the life he had been born
into, until now he wasy virtually
father confessor of all the troubles
OF the social leaders, sort of un-
official adviser, with no profession
except having a good time and with
the Garrick fortune that was ample
to indulge his hobbies.

Guy looked up quickly, genuinely
surprised at this bit of worldly
wisdom.
When girls do stupid, dangerous
things, trouble follows" she per-
sisted, "if not at once, bit later.

sides Ruth comes into the in

who are in this set?" asked Gar
ck, then in tone Of gentle rail
7ery, "Whp are these dancing mem"
There's young Glenn Buckley.
They call him the Demon Lover, you
know. He's just a smart college kid
with a pile OF money and smatter-
ing of information. He can take up
cricket or radio or acting or rela-
tivity or banking-he knows them
all. Another is that Jack Curtis,
over at the Hotel. They call him
Worcestshire' - he's the sauce to
anything they arrange, makes it
snappy. In my humble opinion,
though, he's nothing more nor less
than another cabaret product"
81 know him what l call
ditto boy, plunges in with big
splash and swims with the tide"
"Oh, why can't Ruth accept Dick
Defoe?" implored Nita.
Richard Defoe was a friend of Gar
rick, graduate of great engi aeering
school, son of famous engin eer and
already an inventor of no mean
fame. Of late he had turne / all his
attention to radio invention in
which he seemed to have a strange
aptitude. His work on wirel ess photo
transmission, his perfec-tio of
wireless dictagraph and wireless
telautograph had won him wide
recognition. Just now he was at
work on radio boat, radio auto
mobile and RADIO airpIane.
The mere mention of Dick consti-
tuted an added reason why Garrick
felt impelled to come to the assist
ance of -Nita in distress.
'Tell ME something about the
girls" he suggested.
well, there's Vira Gerard. You
know her, the blonde vamp, they've
nicknamed her, ever since she went
into that anna teur motion picture
the girls made at the school of the
Misses Place. She thinks she is a

Garrick nodded but did not commit
himself. This was en- ideal chs@cc
He wanted to see how much Dick
knew and whether he could add any
thing. Perhaps some fresh angle
would offer a new attack on the case
Dick knew less than Mrs. Walden,
but felt as much.
Guy" he pleaded, you must
you Et st he,p 'Ee save Ruth from
herself j.. F.. and her friends"
Curiously, here was Defoe appeal
ing to him to do what he had already
agreed to do. Garrick was used to
such condolences.
"Well, then, tell me something
about those friends. What about the
radio kid, Glenn Buckley" Garrick
watched with concealed amusement
the reaction on Dicks face.
ooh, he's like great many people
today. 1t isn't the scientific interest
in radio that Glenn feels. It's the
entertainment value in tin any
thing-that, appeals to him. AS a
scientific study, | suppose, motion
pictures were interesting to people
who were following what Edison and
others were doing. But when they
became source of entertainment,
pictures became the fifth industry.
That's the way it is with radio today
with Glenn. Besides, just now Ra-
do is fashionable. It's smart. Like
lhe automobile was twenty years
ago, | imagine. Glenn wants to be
smart. So he has asked the advice
and assistance of Professor Vario
over at Rock Ledge. The rest of the
crowd, | guess you know-that Jack
Curtis. You've seen him around the
Club. To me, though, Ruth is the
center of everything. But :.
then, there's Vira Gerard and
that Larue girl. Of course, Glenn
has taken quite fancy in this wire
less craze of his to Professor Vario
at the Radio Central"
What about him." reiterated
Garrick.
"Oh nothing guess Pm
thinking too much about Glenn! Any
how, it just shows how foolishness
radiates and hits everybody - like
Hertzian waves"
The Radio Central at Rock Ledge
some ten miles east along the Sound
shore covered an area of ten square
miles with twelve rows of 41O-foot
towers radiating for a mile and
half from the central station, with
out a doubt the largest radio plant of
the kind in the world.
But you haven't told me yet
whether you were at this Radio
Dance last night" recalled Garrick.
of course not. You don't think
they'd invite me, do you? My tastes
are just a trifle too quiet for that
speedy set.'
"But you do go out with Ruth
great deal, don't your"
Not as much as I'd like. But, as
for that dance they didn't
want me there any more than they'd
invite me to :. - Dick cut short.
"Where?"
Dlck shrugged and was silent m
Come, now. If you want me to
help you, play fair Dick. You can't
hold back little things-and expect
me to be of any help" Garrick was

he secured "mess" for dinner. The
stalk grows from Is to IS inches in
height and contains ears about six
inches long. These appear standing
almost at right angles from the stalk
just above the ground. 1t is called
"squaw" corn. The seed was procur-
ed in Canada and is much used there,

PUBLIC NOTICE OF UNION
BRIDGE BANK SHORTAGE

The Town Hall was filled to capac-
ity with depositors and patrons of the
First National Bank last Saturday
when the first public notice of the
gross shortage was given out. This
amounts to $16S,367.92. The various
assets and assessments, including a
contribution from the directors has re-
duced the shortage to little over $50,
900. If this amout is raised the bus
mess and building will be taken over
and continued by large banking in
terests. With this in view, the direc
tors, rather than allow it to pass into
receivership, concluded to ask each
depositor for contribution amounting
to IL per cent. of his or her deposits.
This would yield practically $4,000
if all concur in this movement,
reduce the per cent. asked for ma
terially. Isaac Lobe Straus, prom
inent and reputable attorney of Balti-
more, was brought here by number
of depositors for impartial advice in
connection with the bank. After a
survey of the situation he made a
statement that the proposed propo-
sition to raise the remainder of the
shortage was the only way to minim-
ize the loss to the depositors, for he,
as a lawyer, knew the great expense
and its attendant delay in having re-
ceivers appointed. Should this plan
of liquidation be forced on the bank,
the directors would withdraw their
proposed contribution of $4,000 and
the amount the depositors would then
get is variously estimated at from 80
to rs cents on the dollar, to say
nothing of delay of year or more.
The directors and all interested in the
bank are meeting with much encour-
agement and it is to be hoped that
all will realize that the first loss is
best and come forward and sign for
this form of liquidation and thereby
save, not only the greater portion of
their earnings, but much time also.
