 "Yes, sir"
 And, Congers"
 Yes, sir?"
 If. by any chance Mr. Travers comes in within the next few min utes, tell him to cal me up, please.
 He won't be in again today" was the confident remark. He was here a couple of hours ago and had his car got ready for journey out of town. He said he wouldn't be back for several days. In fact he paid his bill right up."
 Lang's heart gave great leap, but his voice was nonchalant.
 That so? All right. I just wanted to speak to him for a moment. But it makes no real difference. Get my car around here soon. won't you. Congers?"
 "Yes. sir. In ten minutes I'll be there.''
 The pair had gone in Travers' car They had been gone couple Of hours. Travers drove like Jehu- and he had an object in driving fast today. Lang could imagine how the mud would fly from his wheels as he dashed along country roads through the pouring rain.
 He thrust his arms hurriedly into his raincoat. He also pulled on a pair of high hunting boots. He might get mired on muddy roads Into one pocket he put his flashlight, into another his revolver.
 T may need neither of them," he muttered. But it is always well to have them along"
 He glanced out of his window down into the street. His car was just drawing up at the door. Lean ing out of the window, he motioned to the driver that he would be right down.
 As he drew in his head he shivered: He pulled off his raincoat and the coat of his suit, and put on thick sweater before replacing his two coats.
 He might not need the flashlight nor pistol, but he would need warm clothing. For the wind was still from the east and he would be driv- ing eastward all the afternoon.
 He was sure he knew in which direction the fleeing couple had driven.

filiated with the organization and
Mrs. Marie It. Lockwood, the State
supervisor of Child Welfare at Mid

The association will be able to
put behind the movement for better
health conditions among the chill
dren of America the experience in
organization gained by the American
Relief Administration IN its eight
years fight against famine in
Europe, where II saved the lives of
fourteen million boys and girls.
Moreover. the new association,
which was formed by the merging
of the American Child Hygiene AS
ISOLATION and the Child Health Or
ganizatfon Of America, brings TO It's
task the results of the years of suo-
cessrul accomplishment in its chosen
field Of both OF these older societies.
Primarily this union OF forces was
effected for the purpose of oo-ordi-
mating all child welfare work In
America and thus increasing its ef-
ficisncy and economy by the eiimi-
nation of waste and duplication. In
doing this, however, the American
Child Health Association will not at
tempt to establish any dominating
central body. On the contrary one
OF its objects as announced by Mr..
Hoover himself, is as follows:
ITO see that all effort on behalf
OF children shall be built upon the
rock OF responsibility IN l'cal com
munities. not upon the shifting sands
OF decentralization"

Child Hygiene Association has been
fighting for better conditions for
