 About four o'clock I saw Mir. Robinson strolling omplacenUy down the aisle. and my blood boil ed as I thought of poor Miss Cleav- or as I had found her in the rest room. her face covered with a cold clammy sweat. She wasn't a pretty creature. He probably would have thought she was not. He was look ing for something freshcr and more beautiful.
 Evidently this man didn't know that I was the girl who had seen Mise Cleaver in her agony, for hc said to me with an unctuous smile;

What Made Lucia Meredith Trail

 l felt conscious and uncom- fortable as l paid for the book on poisons which 1 had bought d the second hand book store because had seen Lucia Meredith studying a copy of it at the Public Library. 1t seemed 10 me that the old pro- prietor who waited on me looked at me CuriouSly as he wrapped it up, and l hurried out of the shop with a mental anathema upon the lively ina ginalion with which ] Was blessed--or cursed-as just then interrupted it. and which hal goad- ed me into hunting up the book.

Editor Douglas Dispatch:
I think it is an imposition on the
part of some folks to go to a grocery
store and ask for credit, and in Is or
80 days come around and say they will
pay about one-third of the bill. Now
there may be a few exceptional cases
where this method of doing business
is necessary.
But, Mr.. Purchaser, please stop and
think. The average grocer or busi-
ness man must also pay his bills;
many of them are paid in cash every
day, and the 30-day bills must gener-
ally be paid in full. 1t is true. We
still spend a good part of our money
for that which is not bread and when
we do buy bread or the necessities of
life we pay for it in a leisurely sort
of way long after it is eaten.
Yours for better cooperation,
DOUGLAS CITIZEN.

Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Capitalists
who build apartment houses to be let
out at reasonable rentals" are setting
mighty bad example, Washington
real estate men, builders and landlords
think.
They're protesting vigorously to Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover, who is
sponsoring such suggestion here. He's
hearing from elsewhere, too-from the
landlord class throughout pretty much
the whole country. Let rent reduc-
ton epidemic break out in some one
spot and it's liable to spread indefin-
itely-thats what the landlords are
afraid of.
In fact, it's spreading now. 1t start
ed in New York, and already it's first
symptoms have appeared in Washing
ton. 1t may sweep the nation.
In no other city, probably, are high
rentals more burdensome than here,
because of the great number of poorly
paid government workers-poorly paid
in proportion to the present cost of
living.
These people are not the type who
can live in shack in an alley They
need at least presentable quarters. Be-
fore the war they could pay for them
and have little left over. Today, the
rent paid, precious little is left to live
on. This has worried all the higher
officials of the administration, and es-
pecially the thrifty Secretary Hoover.
Consequently, when m b o v

In reply Hoover pointed to the fact
that it has been done in New York
