times at the Club and Dick ana
Vario had had much in common in
their work. He seemed particularly
interested in keeping Ruth out or
further harm and very sympathetic
toward Mrs. Walden in her trouble.

to discuss much with even Vario and

morning. The very air seemed to

Mrs. Shroff had tried the door OF

In town Garrick called up Nita

Mrs. Walden as Vario offered to stay
and do anything he could to relieve
her anxiety.
I'll telephone them that I'm de-

worry when you have two such good
friends as Garrick and Dick helping.
You should have seen the way they

can count on me as a third. I may

Garrick dismissed his taxi at the

Il was an added shock when he
saw thu; the car had stopped just in

was fumbling with a key at the door

man at the door heard him, looking

Garrick parried and countered
The man went sprawling backward
on the bit of turf of the little front

At that moment Garrick heard
the clatter of feet from across the
street and around the motor. But

The Modern Magician

The olden magicians bearded and gray.
They their pOnderous way,
They mixed up potons that dubbed and smoked,
all of the spirits Of wrath they invoked
They called the devil and all his relations
They dread phrases and fierce lamentations.
Like "Abracadabra' and 'Alagazan."
And yet al finish. their magic sham!
The magicans kids in their teens
With nothing of hokum or bunk in their beans;
Some pieces of junk and bundle of wire
all that these up-tO-date wizards require
To build you a radio set that viii tap
The that hurting all over the
They bring to you voices that throb through the air.
Believe me. these boys magcians for fart
If old Cagliostro Merlin came back
Those priests of a magic excessively black
They'd find themselves humbed by some freckled kid
Who works enchantment than they did;
And when they returned TO the wizards long dead

thin spectral laughter would follow all through

Discussing the rail situation as 1t now
relates to grain and coal shipments, Mr.
Hoover said:
THE American roads have been so
over regulated during the last score of
years that they find it difficult to finance
the cost of acquiring rolling stock and
equipment necessary to keep pace with
the ever increasing industrial and agri-
cultural needs of the country.
Every year there has developed a

roads to move grain in sufficient guam
tity to fill foreign demand. The pre-
MUM does not add to the wealth of the
farmer. but is a direct charge against
his just profit.
There also exists a premium on soft
coal ranging from 80 to 60 per cent
above the normal price. because of the
car shortage. If there were sufficient
cars to transport the coal which the
mines are capable of producing there
would be no such premium.
ut is safe to estimate that the car
shortage levles direct charge each year

necessities of life which amounts to no
less than the entire annual cost of adj
