Had Avis killed Nicky Wickert?

Her thought turned suddenly to
Kent. Would he be obliged to
prosecute his own sister, to gather
proof so the jury would indict
her? Would he do that, believing
her innocent as he had believed
Kitten, yet offering what evidence
he could get that she was guilty?
Frances had explained enough
50 Emily knew this would bring
about the end of his political
career. Even If Avis was freed
the scandal would be such that
Morrow's ring would force him
out OF office. A tragic thing that
he must pay for the sins OF
others! And that she must be
the one to force this on him. Yet
she could do nothing else.
Broodins through the night,
suspicion came to her at last. No
one had seen Avis at the Inn save
her sister and the man who now
was dead. Surprising Kent were
to laugh at Kittens story and

would save him; to her distorted
imagination it doomed as the

LESS IMMIGRATION NOW
 BUT MORE NEW CITIZENS

CHICAGO. R) - A greater de- sire to become citizens of their ad- opted country has increased the number of naturalizations. although immigration laws have sharply re- duced the number of persons con- ing into the United States.
 Figures of the Chicago distrct of the Bureau of Immigration which comprises Illinois. Michigan. Wis consin, Indiana and Iowa. show that more aliens have been natur- alized in the past 10 years than in any previous decade.
 Before immigration laws restrict ed the influx of European aliens often waited 10 or Is years to take out their papers, says Fred J. Schlotfeldt, immigration director here. Few now wait more than three years.
 Fear of being deported and the increased activities of Americaiza- tion agencies are reasons for the changed practice, he said.
