him now, Bennett. Curiosity, you
KNOW
A moment later, Bennett, preced-
ed by tall dark individual who was
inclined to limp slightly, re-entered
the room-about thirty-five, unshav-
en-, small piggish black eyes, attired
in ill-fitting and very dusty corduroy
flying toys, heavy boots. 1t was Ben
nett's custom to leave the room I'M
nlediately after showing in visitors,
but now I noticed that he fingered
Just inside of the door, as If expecting
something to happen.
And we'll he might. Certainly my
visitor could be termed suspicious
looking. He stood there with his
leather helmet rolled in one fist, and
huge fur-lined gloves in the other. :
Then he turned and regarded Ben
nett. who did not attempt to conceal
his distrust.
"Wen, my man." I began, what
can I do for you?"
To my surprise, he did not answer.
Instead, he worked his small eyes
from side to side very rapidly. This
raised my ire.
If" said, you wish to speak with
me, you must do so at once"
Now get this for impudence! He
turned again toward Bennett - and
addressed me! 81 must see you alone"
he announced in a deep bass voice.
I nodded toward my man and he
withdrew, but I had a feeling that
he merely closed the door and lis
tened from the outside.
"You will please proceed to make
known to me your errand here" 1
directed.
"I bear a message of great impor-
lance, sir"
Prom whom?"
81 am instructed not to answer
questions"
Indeed"
"I am merely to say that if you
will be at the air field atop the Negro
Times Building, in st. Louis, at eight
o'clock you will be escorted to my
employer, who wishes to interview
you on matter of great impor-
tance,"
And to my utter bewilderment, even
as the words left his lips, my strange
visitor swung around and started for
the door. Before I could recover suf-
ficiently to attempt to detain him
he was gone!
Imagine that!
The incident left me in quandary.
Throughout the rest Of the day was
possessed with various perspectives.
At times I was confident that my
visitor was a criminal of some sort
Philadelphia was overrun with them.
More than once was on the point
of notifying the police. Then again,
a sense of adventure would possess
me and 7 would pace the length OF
my study with deep smile on my
face-only to stop shortly and frown!
The upshot Of the thing was that
at five o'clock I rang for Bennett
and directed that he pack me an over
night bag, as I was leaving for St.
louisiana you should have seen Ben
nett's face!
AT THREE MINUTES to eight
o'clock that evening, having made the
trip from Philadelphia via swift aerial
express, was sitting In the waiting

URGE MAYOR To
MAKE STUDY OF
TRAM PROJECT
Early Action Is Requested
by City Merchants
Association.

Three Fundamental considerations
involved in the proposed insult plan
for rehabilitation and control OF
indianapolis street railway system
were suggested to Mayor Reginald
H. Sullivan by the Merchants As
ISOLATION today in a letter urging
early study of the project.
I'm principle, we are sympathetic
to the idea that an arrangement
be made with strong and expert
enced organization" said the Mer-
chants Associations letter. I'VE
feel" it continued, that there obyi-
ously are a number of fundamental
items that should be solved:
Urge Fair Valuation
Il. The question. of supervision
whether by the public service COM
mission or by a special municipal
commission. And in the latter event,
how the members are to be ap-
pointed.
.. A fair valuation Tor the prop
erty in its present condition.
81. Reasonable safeguards to pre-
vent extravagant charges for power
and administration, keeping in
mind, however, that no efficient
system can be operated without a
profit"
1.-THE city of indianapolis, through
you, it's mayor, naturally will have
to accept the responsibility of set
Ting these problems" said the let
ter. 1--WE believe it will be a detri-
ment to the peoples interests if
these negotiations are long delayed,
and we respectfully request you as
soon as possible to have the proper
authorities study this situation"
Must Be Monopoly
1.-THE fact that no transportation
system can operate successfully
without monopoly, makes it par
ticularly urgent that a sound and
fair agreement be concluded
Herman P. Lieber, president; E. A.
Fl. Kahn, vice-president, and George
Vonnegut, secretary, signed the let
ter at the direction of the associa-
TONS directors.

what her mother says:
"a friend praised California Fig

Vera when she showed by bad

that she was constipated. 1t relieved
her constipation Immediately, sweet

Il have also used Fig Syrup for
all her colds and upsets. 1t has kept
her strong and vigorous.
For fifty years, wise mothers have
been secure in the knowledge that a
child's headachy, bilious, feverish or
fretful spells can be quickly and safe
ly overcome by California Fig Syrup.
Physicians recommend its soothing
aid to keep the bowels clear in colds,
or children's ailments; or whenever
bad breath, coated tongue, or list

DOG CATCHER!'
HA! SAYS MARY
Opera Singer Tells AIP in
Row With Editor
Gene Howe.
BY EARL b. STEELE
United Press stan Correspondent

DALLAS. Tex, Nov. 6.-Sprightly
Mary Garden, who says she's the
only opera singer ever publicly
criticised by a dog catcher" is in
town for a concert.
She took lodging In a downtown
hotel and bounced lithely across the
room to greet reporters. a blithe-
some smile denying her So years.
Come in. Have chair, while I
tell you about that man, Gene
Howe" she said.
Honestly. it's the best joke Of
the season." she chuckled. Did I
make the man rue the day he
criticised my singing last year?
Oh~
She rolled on her lounge in
laughter.
Called Tactics Texan"
Howe is editor of the Amarillo
EeWs-Globe. In Amarillo he is
called THE Tactless Texan" He
IS the peoples friend and special
ICES in finding lost dogs Tor
Amarillo boys. He banned" Miss
Gardens opera when it appeared
in Amarillo last year and the two
wrangled for months through the
newspapers.
Before I went to Amarillo" Mary
resumed, "a friend sent me copy
Of Howe's paper. In his column was
note to boys that if any of them
who lost their dogs five days before
or five days after Mary Garden
came to town probably wouldn't
get them back"
The joke ended there for Miss
Garden. 1t seems Howe went on
70 explain he wouldn't have time for
dogs when Mary Garden was in
town
"Of all thingsl My critic dog
catcher she unused.
But he isn't really a dog
catcher. He is tall and handsome
charming"

while a tail, attractive man edgeo
over toward me and stood grinning
shyly. Mrs. Howe walked over and
said, This is Gene
Il was dumfounded. 1t didn't
seem possible a man like that could
say such mean things.
But he was grand. I remember
when I arrived in town. I went at
once to Mayor Thompson's bunga-

the middle of the room was the most

I have ever seen. They were enor-
