This is the beginning Of the see ond week of the story Of David Copperfield." Did you cut out all the paper dolls last week? If you cut them out and save them every day you will have q whole set of David Copperfeld dolls.
 David thought he had never seen any place quite so interesting and exciting in all his life as Yarmouth proved 10 be. They passed boat builders yards, gas works rops walks, riggers' lofts, smiths forges and many other places which David longed 10 explore. Peggotty's nephew, Ham. was waiting for them. He took David on his back and pranced down the street with him toward the sea.
 "Yon's our house. Master Davy." he said, pointing.
 David looked where he pointed and then looked in all directions. but could see no house. All he could see was a large black barge on the waters edge.

SAYS SCHWARTZ
STUDIED CRIMES
Police Captain Tells Death
Pr0berS of Chemists In
tereSt in Murders.
BY the Associated Press.


MARTINEZ. Calf. August 4.-Au-
thorities today had accumulated evil
denee which they believed materially
strengthens their theory that a body
found in the ruins of the Pacific Gel
lulose Co.'S laboratory after an eX-
plssion last week was not that of
Charles Henry Schwartz, chemist and
official of the concern. whose life was
insured for S1S0,00O Their theory
was that il was the body of another
person who had been slain and pla ced
there to indicate that the chemist had
met death in an explosion. A recluse
has been missing from Walnut Creek
since the explosion.
The body, charred almost beyond
recognition. was found following the
explosion and fire which destroyed
the laboratory last Thursday. At first
it was believed to be that of Schwartz,
we'll known as a chemist and who
had evolved formula through which
the artificial cutting of silk fiber was
expected TO revolutionize the silk in
dustry.
Sued BY Woman.
Although identified by Mrs Schwartz
as the body of her husband. District
Attorney A. r. Timing refused to
allow the woman custody of it until
lished Schwartz was recently made
defendant in a breach of promise suit
for S15 900 by Miss Elizabeth Adams
of Oakland. .$
One piece of evidence before the
authorities today was the statement
of Capt. C.. D. Lee of the Berkeley
police force. who said that Schwartz
was student of perfect crime.
Capt Lee said the chemist had made
study OF murders for the past two
years and seemed particularly inter
ested in the failure of criminals to
hide traces OF their crimes"
The officer declared that Schwartz
had dropped into police headquarters
regularly to discuss crimes in the most
minute details.
schwartz also professed especial in
terest in American police methods for
! catching criminals and tracing miss
ing persons Lee said. He tried to
give the impression that he worked as
! a detective in Europe, but when l
asked him about his experiences he
was always vague in his answers"
One phase Of the case which officials
are endeayoring to clear up Is the dis
appearance of Joe Rodriguez, itinerant
Portuguese farm worker, who has
been missing since the day of the ex-
plosion. In the belief that Rodriguez
was murdered and his body placed In
the laboratory, friends of the ma n
were sought in an attempt to estab-
lish identification.
After taking several N-ray photo
graphs of the body, DIR. W. n. Hough.
