HOW TO CURB CRIME
Expansion of Criminal Identification Work Is Method Suggested by De- lroit Police Supt.

Washington, April ?i.--Eypsnslon Of criminal identification work which has been started by the department Of justice would prove a better way Of coping with criminals than the estab- l!shment of a national police bureau, William Rutledge, police snnerintend- ent of Detroit, today told the house judiciary committee.
 Mir. Rutledge, who is president ct the International Association of Po- lice Chiefs, took issue with Police Commissioner Enright Of New York city, who told ths committee last week that police bureaus would ob- ject 10 having the bureau associated with inc department of justice.
 Notwithstanding the New York commissioners views the witness said, there is "most friendly feel ing" toward the department of justice and police chiefs believe the depart ment is the place for a central crim- inai Identification clearing house. He submitted more than 100 letters from police chiefs which, he asserted, would suhstantiate his statement.
 Rutedge said his organization had supplied the department Of justice with more than 600.ooo criminal rec ords and the Illogical and economic thing 10 do would be to appropriate sufficient funds for the department to continue this work.

WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

New York, April 2i.-tWall Street Opening) Stock prices resumed their movement to higher ground al the opening of today's stock market under the impetus Of active short covering. National supply advanced IA in reflection of the recent stock dividend and Goodrich Rubber pre- ferred and General Electric each moved up about 1-4. Most of the active oils, steels, motors and rails improved fractionally.
 Speculative belief that the senate's defeat of the cash option amendment tc the bonus bill would enhance the chances of the tax reduction bill was reflected in the brisk demand for stocks, more than 8 score issues gain ing a point or more in the first half hour. American Can, Baldwin, Amer ican Sugar preferred, Pan American R. Houston. Gulf States Steel, Allied Chemical and National Lead were smong the issues to rule 1 to points higher. Virginia Iron Coal & Coke which dropped points to 40, 8 new 1924 low, and Corn Products, off i, were the only conspicuous weak spots. Foreign exchanges were reactionary.
 Noon-The widespread publicity given to the unusually large short in- terest apparently frightened many fears into covering their commit ments, the general list displaying a strong tone throughout the early trading. Oils were built up on the report of the American Petroleum 1n- stitute, showing an average daily re- duction in production of nearly 2l,000 barrels during the week ended Aprii 19. Nearly a dozen stocks in that group sold point or more above yes terday's final quotations, including Marland, Pacific. Cosden and Gen 1 eral Asphalt. Marked strength also developed in the sugar. motor and leather groups, American Sugar Re- fning. South Porto Rican sugar, Stewart Warner, Yellow Cab. Central Leather preferred and American Hide and Leather preferred being among the many issues to stand out with gains of a point or more. Call money opened at per cent.

RADIO LEAGUE BOYS
 AIDING ARMY MEN
Are Listening for Message From
 Balloon Racers

San Antonio, Tex, April 24.--A lit- tie squad of youths, volunteer mem- bers of the American Radio league, early today settled down 10 a vigil Of listening for reports from the seven balloons which late yesterday, after e perfect take of at Kelly Field, start ed drifting northward in the national elimination balloon race. No report of the balloons has been received since five of them passed over q ranch 30 miles northwest of here two hours after the start.
 The eight corps area, under which arrangements for the race were car ried out, is depending on the radio league volunteers for its information on the progress of the race and once the balloons are sighted. they will re- main on duty until the last entra nt has been accounted for and the race ended.
 Drifting across Texas for the first time at night pilots of the seven bal looms had an experience new even to the veterans of their number. The path, starting west of north as they left the field, was out of the lanes of airplane travel and over a country sparsely settled by ranchers. After the first hundred miles they foated over a treeless plain carried by the Gulf breeze. which usually blows steadily northward until encounterins stronger currents from the west.
 All of the entrants expect 10 reach the Canadian border before landing except B. H. Fournier. San Antonio, who has the smallest bag entered. one of 50.00o cubic feet capacity. Four nier, a former army instructor in free ballooning. is making the flight at his own expense solely 10 test the distance possible for a balloon of its size,

 PASSED BY IA TO 6
House Committee Adopts S20O,. 100000 Capitalization Measure

Washington, April 24-The McNarv- HaugeE bill was passed by the house agricultural committee today by vote of 14 to 6.
 unsuccessful efforts were made to sub other measures for the proposal ny a vote of Is to f, the com mittee rejected the Norris Sinclair bill and voted down 16 to 2 the Voigt bill, which would set up a corporation to sell wheat abroad. The so-ralIed foakum plan. as embodied in the As well bill, was turned down by a viva voCe vote.
 The McNary- Haugen measure comes rom the committee with numbers of amendments changing the original provisions sponsored by the depart ment of agriculture.
 As reported it would provide for creation of a corporation with capi- tai of s20o,00o.0o0 supplied by the government to promote the sale abroad of surplus farm products, live stock, as well as grain and cotton. Af- fairs of the corporation would be handled by five directors one to be the secretary of agriculture and the others to be appointed by the president who would be required to give representa- ton to all sections of the country.
 The corporation would seek to es- tablisll prices for various farm pro- ducts that would bear the same ratio to about 400 basic commodities as they did during the ten years prior to the world war. Under the original bill, such prices were to be fixed monthly but committee amendment would enable the corporation to de- termine them for longer periods. To aid in maintenance Of such prices, the president under a committee amend ment would have authority to declare cmbargoes on farm commodities or to put into effect increased tariff duties One of the important committee changes was, one which would dc away with the requirement. that the corporation pay farmers for their products partly in scrip. As reported the bill would provide that the cor. poration could either use scrip or pa, entirely in cash. making allowance foi cost of marketing and probable losses,

CHAPTER ".

The awe ana tragedy OF their a.
lent embrace went with q still
terror to the heart Of the child.
She crept with frightened quiet
under the covers, choking and
staring into the darkness. Mamma
loved Andrew oh, loved and loved
him. She did not know why this
made her afraid. But It did. She
began to cry.
The image Jof Margaret, pale
and still, Andrew kneeIing at her
feet. kept passing through Nora
Lees mind all the next day. It
gave Margaret a sad, mysterious
fascination as though It were q
white angel the little girl had seen
weeping on the stairs.
She wanted to ask about 1t, TO
say: '.MarInee, were you crying
last night in the darl7 I thought
you WERE"
But just az she got ready an
oriole whistled. Margaret started
as though the sound let loose all
chords Of music in the world.
Suddenly she flung her arms
about the child. Her eyes were
wet on Nora Lees face.
You're crying, marmeel Why
do you cry 20 much?H

Her feelings were those tremu-

pain than joy-that deep, deep
love with all its fibers strung
In angIished tenderness.
She longed now only to say
some gentle word let him know
that she was glad. She looked
at his anxious face; at his deep,
anxious eyes. She murmured:
Dear Andrew, don't look like
this for me. am glad to give /.

He turned his face. They walked
on silently between the trees.
Then Margaret spoke again: II

such love as yours"
He bent his head until his
