CHAPTER XVII

EOLLY ran down the street, re-
.lFA volving the most preposterous
ideas in her mind. Slim Boynt0n
had warned her against the Chicago
gunner But Slim was dreadful
slarmist. Besides, she hadn't hurt
MandineIlo. Why. even Slim said
the racketeers ought to give Molly
a vote of thanks-Slim. who had
been so sure they were going to
shoot her.
That horrible man was standing
now directly in front OF the apart
ment. He had turned, and was
facing her. There was nothing 10
do. but to run past him. In an
other moment she would be in the
lobby.
She had reached the lowest step
Of the broad fight that led TO the
apartment. And now she saw the
mans face quite distinctly. His
ewes were vide and hunted-the eyes
Of mad man. And his beard was
dark and stUbby..
Suddenly there was a shot. And
another. And another.
But Molly heard only one. And
that was so fused with the stinging
pain that sang through her
shoulder that she could never quite
separate them-the shot and the
pain.
People came running. Someone
telephOned for the police. And
someone else called an ambulance.
Jack was there, elbOwing his way
through the crowd. Bullying the
jauitor, VINO sought TO assume au-
thority. Bullying even the police,
when they arrived. And when the
ambulance came, it was he who lift
ed Molly and laid her gently on the
stretcher, and sat beside her, and
Chafed her still hands.
Her clothes were drenched with
the blood that flowed from her
shoulder. Once she opened her
eyes and moaned.
Excitement spread like fire
along the street where Molly lived.
And presently Rita and Bob and
Zip had heard the news. A girl
shot in broad daylight! They ran
ont and saw the crowd in front of
Molly's apartment.

French Profits
Out of Tobacco
! Could Pay Debt

PARIS. March 7.-(P-France's
profit on her tobacco monopoly Is
more than enough to pay her wal
debt to the United States.
Cigarette and pipe smokers buy
of the government $3.50, 000, 00C
worth Of goods and the government
makes a profit of four-fifths of the
total receipts.
Frances war debt to America I'M
der the unratified Berenger agree
ment is a little more than $4,000
900, 900 and the interest over the
81 years in which she was to pay
runs it up close to ST, 900, 900 900, or
an average Of $110,O 600 900 a year,
decidedly less than the govern
ment'S early profit on tobacco
smoke.
\ Not many years ago there was
much talk Of turning over the to-
bacco monopoly to private industry,
Particularly to an American group,
In order to modernize it and to get
greater profit. Spurred by criti-
cism, the government appointed a
business mems committee, presided
by Andre Citroen, the principal
iautomobile maker of France, which
suggested reforms some of which
have been adapted to the great adj
vantage Of the governments pocket
book.
Great increase in smoking, aided
BY the active cooperation of wom-
on. has helDed the REGENTS. which
have been growing rapidly each
year while better methods have
continued to reduce expenses.
Probably q big factor in the inn
rnense profit is the fact the gov
eminent owns warehouses. plants
and equipment on which there are
no charges and the government
pays no taxes.

Mexico's Mining
Industries Face
Critical Period

MEXICO CITY, March 7.-(P)-
The collapse of MeXico's great
mining industry, declares President
Garcia of the national chamber oil
mining. is inevitable if government
aid is not forthcoming.
He points to mining legislation
taxation and the lack of railroads
in prospective mining territory as
the chief troubles besetting the in
dustry. He says that many COM
panies are operating at a loss and
recommendations have been made
to some Of the largest firms in
Mexico to liquidate their interests
as soon as possible.
Silver, lead and zinc mining COM
prises one of the oldest industries
in Mexico. 1t was one OF the ear
Hest occupations Of the Spanish
colonial era and mines that orig
inally were dug by the Spaniards
still constitute the chief fields Of
exploitation. This, Garcia holds, Is
one Of the major causes OF the
crisis.
The Spaniards found the Mexi-
can mountains rich In metals and
with a small financial investment
they were able to extract these
minerals and send them to the
market In Europe. But the Span
ish mines have been exploited
through centuries, until today they
are nearly exhausted and the per-
centage of metal in the ore is so
small that only by investment Of
much capital and use of modern
machinery can the mining opera-
lions be continued at a profit. With
in a few years, Garcia declared.
even this profit will disappear and
it will be necessary for the COM
panies to move to new fields.
There are other rich mining
fields in Mexico, Garcia pointed
out. but thev are far from the rail-
roads and the necessity Of trans
porting the ore or metal by burro
over hundreds of kilometers of
mountainous country makes the
proposition Of opening up these
mining REGIONS unattractive. Gar
cia is urging the government to
provide transportation facilities to
these fields.
In 1927 the mining companies Of
Mexico employed 10000 men and
paid about s33 100000 yearly in
wages. The railroads were then
moving about 4,500, 900 tons of
metal and ore annually. Garcia
said that there had been a steady
decrease in these volumes.

BY WILLIAM E. BERCHTOLD

DAYTON, Ohio. March. 7. Up,
The Panther Of the Skies" a new
army air corps bomber, is being put
through its PAGES at Wright field to
determine its capabilities.
The big plane. the first of IS
ordered by the army, is designed
to carry heavier loads of bombs at
higher speeds than any bombing
planes now in use by the army.
Twenty two hundred pounds Of
bombs, a sufficient quantity to cut
off a city from outside communica-
ton or sink a ~battleship, can be
