Dale did not remain much
longer. He went downstairs
and into the little library in
the rear Of the house. He
found Alan Knight going over
the papers of the dead man,
the current letters and docu-
ments which Sharon brought
along over the weekend.
ALAN, I'm anxious to know
just how you managed to-to
take the money from Sharon"
Dale said after he sat down
beside Alan.
"It wasn't difficult. He left
everything to me. He'd buy
big blocks of stocks, sometimes
two or three at a time, and
leave signed checks. I'd fill
them in three, four or five
thousand over the required
amount and make entries to
cover. He'd never see the stock

See here, there was a note due
at the Harvester National Bank

for fifty thousand. 7 made out
this check for sixty thousand,
figuring he wouldn't remember

due a couple Of times a week.
Anyway, he baked on that

"They usually let you know

the check for the amount into

bits.

me and paid a lot Of attention
to me. I met him at several
other dances after that, and he
just about said Hello" Now
my problem Is this: I am very
much in love with him. Do you
think there is any chance Of
my winning his love?
LONESOME SALLY.
I'm afraid, Lonesome Sally,
that you let the young man see
how interested you were too
soon. After all, it's good tactics
to keep them guessing for @
little while. Try to interest
yourself In someone else, also
try to interest yourself In other
thingS-your friends, your home,
sports, try to learn to enjoy
books. All these things will
make you less Unconscious
and more attractive.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 10 and have been deS-
perately in love with a married
man. He does not get along
with his wife very well, even
though they still live together.
A few months ago I met q young
man Of whom I think a lot and
we are seriously considering
marriage. Everything was per
fectly all right as far as my
friendship with the married
man was concerned, nothing to
be ashamed Of, but il the man
who loves me and wants to
marry me should ask If there
is anything I want to tell him
should I let him know Of my
friendship with this married
man? REGRETFUL.
If your admiration with the
married man didn't go beyond
an imprudent filtration, as you
say, there would be no reason
for you to tell your probable
fiance, except the very prudent
one that he may hear Of it from
some one else and get an en-.
tirely wrong impression Of the
affair.

I am a boy Of 90 and about
eight months ago met q girl
Of Is, she Is very pretty but
very poor. I didn't care about
that, so I started going with
her. She promised to marry
me and I started giving her
presents Of clothes. I dressed
her from top to toe. We had
frequent quarrels and the last
time she got so sassy that I
slapped her cool. Now she
won't make up with me, but
insists on keeping everything
I gave her, even to the we'd
ding dress. I expected to marry
her. this month. I've begged
her to come back to me but
she won't listen.

I don't want to seem unsym-

doubt you are very unhappy at

a great mistake. Again you
shouldn't have given her
clothes, nor should she have
taken them-it's just not done.

outrageous to talk about and I
don't wonder she broke with
you. You're too young and your

II was on the back porch,
when, suddenly :" she
seemed to shudder violently at
the recollection when
suddenly I saw the barrel Of a
gun gliStening in the moon
light. It came through q thick
shrub just beyond the porch.
It was pointed directly at mel"
She broke down, sobbing now,
and Dale signed to Nash to go
to her. The questioning was
over. Nash stared at Dale bel
Ngerently for causing this har-
rowing scene. He helped his
wife UP the stairs, whispering
to her as they proceeded. Be
hind them followed Mrs. Sharon
and Warren. Fay Turner walked
out onto the porch.
Dale turned to the mystified
officials.
"You see, gentlemen, there
was no one in the house when
Sharon was shot to death.
Makes it rather more puzzling,
doesn't it?"
It proved to be an uneventr
full night. The police had made
no further progress when dale
came down to breakfast at 9.
It was the first opportunity he
had to explain his presence to
Mrs. Sharon. She was quite
sweet about it and thanked him
for his interest and expressed
the wish that he might be able
to end the mystery surrounding
her husbands death. He was.
furthermore, welcome to re-
main as long as he desired.
After breakfast Dale strolled
out through the gardens at the
front Of the lodge. He had
been watching and knew he
would run into Lloyd Warren
alone.
"You were quite clever last
night" the lawyer admitted
when they met in the garden.
"You would make q good law
yer"
"You were a rather poor one
last night" said Dale, good
naturedly. ''You should have
known your story about being
in the house wouldn't stand

than ourselves" he said vaguely.
''I have a feeling Mrs. Nash
considered that, too she
probably knows it was Mrs.
Sharon and you she heard in

Don't you, think you'd better

AIR LINES CARRY
HAZARD TO HEALTH
Possible Spread of Disease
by Planes Gives U. S. Serv-
ice Difficult Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
International aerial transportation
has brought q new health hazard for
the Public Health Service to cope with.
Surg. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming said
yesterday in his annual report to Con-
gress it had brought the danger that
cholera, bubonic plague and yellow
fever would be transported aerially
across international boundary lines.
He pointed to the two extremes Of
the health Service-the international
and local units-as presenting the
greatest needs for immediate action.
Rural Guards Urged.
He urged worldwide reports on cpl
demic diseases and whole-time all-pur-
pose health organizations in rural dis
tricts.
His recommendations for organization
in rural America, only IS per cent of
which is now provided for such service,
followed closely the plan outlined by
the White House Conference on Child
Health and Protection.
Development of eficient whole-time
local health organizations through
which all necessary public health
activities may be conducted In proper
sequence and in proper relation one to
the other, Is the program which will

cial diseases or to particular elements Of

SENATE QUESTIONS
THREE APPO|NTEES
Fletcher, Page and Coulter
Give Views on Tariff at
Public Hearing.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Three Of President Hoover's recess
appointees to the reorganized Tariff
Commission were subjected to a rigor-
Gus public examination of their uualifi-
cations and tariff views by the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday prepare
tory to reporting their nominations to
the Senate.
The three other members Of the BIZ
partisan body will be questioned to-
morrow.
Senator Couzens of Michigan and La
Toilette of Wisconsin joined the Demo-
Gratis in voting for an open session,
overruling Chairman Smoot and other
Republican regulars, who favored the
usual practice of considering nomina-
tionS behind closed doors.
Henry. P. Fletcher of Pennsylvania,
Republican chairman of the commits
sion and former diplomat, was cues
toned by both Republican and Demo-
cratic members, as were Thomas w.
Coulter, Republican, North Dakota.
Fletcher told Senator Reed, Repub-
lican, Pennsylvania, he had never en-
gagged in tariff lobbying" Replying
to Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis-
sippi, he said he was a Republican, but
was associated with no faction in Penn
sylvania; had seen former Senator
Grundy, high-tarif advocate, but three
times in his life, and had sold all stock
holdings. including some oil shares, be-
fore going on the commission.
He said he had no general tariff
views and had not studied the 1880
act, but expected to acquaint himself
with the provisions as "the cases come
along"
He denied charges in a letter read
by Senator Harrison regarding alleged
diScourteouS treatment accorded r. E.
Jeffery Of Arkansas, while Fletcher was
Undersecretary Of State. Jeffery, a Will
son appointee, had resigned as Minister
to Uruguay and was kept waiting three
days for conference, the letter said.
The letter quoted Fletcher as saying
to Jeffery. What in the hell is the
matter with those people down there?"
Fletcher said the commission had
been very happy family" thus far,
and all decisions had been unanimous.
Personnel, he added. had been chosen
without regard to politics.
Page, member Of the Taft and
Wilson Tariff Commissions said he still
was opposed to the flexible tariff. Sena-
tor Bingham, Republican, Connecticut,
expressed surprise, saying the commits
sion's principal task was to administer
this clause. Page said he went on the
commission to correct INEQUALITIES and
injustices" in the presnt act and not
to readiust rates up and down generally.
He added he believed the new flexible
clause an improvement.
Coulter, former chief economist on
the commission, said President Hoover
asked him If he technically was a Re
publican" in talking over his appoint
ment. He replied he had been listed
as a progressive Republican for 30
years.
HE didn't ask you IL you were a
Hoover Republican, did hep" inquired
Harrison
"No, he didn't" Coulter replied.
