Rescue Crews Aboard Sturdy Boats Use Axes to Clear Ice and Reach
 200 Marooned Tennessee Families

Plans for carrying supplies by air plane to food-marooned families in Griffin, Ind, and other southern h. diana communities went forward to- day, while q scven-miIc ice gorge at Riverton, north of here, prcsent- ed q new flood threat to that con- munity.
 Immediate investigation of the Riverton ice jam was ordered yes- terday by the war department at Washington.
 Lowered levels of the Wabash river had led to belief that the nor maj flow of the stream was main taincd underneath the ice. Ycstcr- day, however. the river halted it's fall. and the level stood at 21.1 feet, indicating that the ice again had damned the flow. Resulting back water wonld flood added lowlands, i, was said.

One small handbag was un-

It contained nothing except the
toilet articles and a few
clothes.
"Still nothing" grunted Dale,

DIET AND HEALTH
-BH. Dr. Loaan CLendeninq-

There is an old quip doctors
fling every now and then at one
another. They have heard it
said so often by some patients
friend or relative:
His arm can't be broken,
doctor; look, he can move his
fingers"
It means, of course, that doc
tors all know that the arm
can be broken, even though he
can move his. fingers. It is
simply an instance Of one Of
the thousand prejudiceS that
the doctor has to remove from
his patients minds before he
can begin to help them.
Another is:
"It can't be rheumatism, doc
tor, we never give him any
meat" I will go into that
on another occasion.
A nose and throat doctor Of
my acquaintance who is also
a scholar and a gentleman,
told me of an instance Of a
mother bringing him her little
girl for the purpose Of having
the tonsiis out. It comes under
the same head Of the patient
having been convinced before
hand Of the advisability Of ?
certain procedure, the wisdom
Of which was quite debatable.
It also teaches a gigantic les
son about the effect Of the
present strenuous age. We as

did" He jerked his head to-
ward the lady's compartment.
'And maybe that isn't all. :.
I think we had better look
through the clothes for some
Identification"
A few moments search re-
vealed the fact that there was
nothing Of any description left
in the pockets Of the dead
man! Even his ticket was miss
ing. A careful search Of the
compartment also failed to
bring to light the weapon with
which the crime had been CON-
mitted.
How long before we reach
Washington" Dale asked sud-
denly.
Wellman looked at his watch.
Something over three hours"

Dale mused for a few mo-

The Washington times., 1930-11-11

The body OF q murdered man
is found on the night cypress
from NeaO York to Washington.
The conductor hears a 1Don1Gn
shrek.
CHAPTER II
The two men ran into the
paSsageWay OF the Arcadia.
Three of the compartment
doors were open, At %" stood
O. man in a silk dressing-robe.
A woman was entering COM
'partment "B."
Dale and Wellman hurried
along the passage, passing the
man in the silk robe, and
stopped in front Of "B." Mrs.
Kennedy was rendering what
aid and comfort she could to
the beautiful lady who occupied
it. She was Louise Carvel, who
was in a highly nervous state,
apparently on the verge OF hys-
tericS.
Mrs. Kennedy heard the two
men at the door. She turned,
in obvious relief.
"Oh, I'm glad you've come!
Something dreadful must have
happened. When I came in the
light was out and the young
lady was hysterical. Isn't there
a doctor on the train?"
I'm be alls right-dont trou-
ble-please." The lady spoke
in a low voice. She was con-
siderably calmer. There was a
soft, almost imperceptible ac-
cent in her voice.
did you see anyone elSe?"
Wellman asked Mrs. Kennedy.
mo" She turned question
ingly toward Louise Carvel and
her gesture implied that only
she could say if there had been
anyone else.
'There was someone" admit
ted the lady of compartment
"B." "It was a man, but I
saw only his arm. I was pre-
pairing to retire when the arm
reached in through the door,
searching for the light switch
that one there, on the wall. I
wanted to scream, but could not
even move. Suddenly the light
went out-then someone grabbed
me so roughly, and a hand was
held tightly over my mouth.
That small bag was open on the
bed, as you see it. I heard him
rummaging through it. I was
thrown roughly on the berth.
For a moment / was stunned,
but finally managed to scream.
After that this lady came in.
That's all I know about it,"
Know anyone on the train
who'd have reason for attack
ing you2" asked the conductor.
She shook her head. mo.
know no one on the train. I'm
really a stranger, as you prob
ably can tell. I'm from Vienna,
visiting your America. I am
anxious to see Washington
am on my way there"
Shortly thereafter the two
men stepped into the passage.
The two women were left to,
gether. They found the occu-
pant Of compartment ID" stand
ing there waiting. He had re-
moved the silk robe and was at
tired in q business suit.

ADVICE FOR
LOVELORN
YOUTH
Time to Start Something

Time 10 start something
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I'd be the happiest girl in
the world If I were not such a
fool. For three years I've been
in love with a man and at last
he has told me he loves me.
During all that time I've not
been out with him more than
two or three times because /
do not want to give it away
how ignorant ] am about
things. The first time he took
me out to dinner I almost died
for fear I'd do something
wrong. Now he wants to meet
my folks, come to my house,
indeed he said I was real mean
not to ask him to a meal.
We're just simple people and
I'm afraid he will be put out
by finding how different we
live from the way he is used
to. Please give me a little ad-
vice.. COUNTRY GIRL.
The first bit Of advice I'm go
ing to give you is to get over
that wretched feeling Of In
feriority. How you've man
aged to keep a man for three
years, feeling that way, is be-
yond comprehension. # your
home is neat and clean, please
get over feeling that it's not
good enough. II it's all right
fer you, it should be all right
for your friends. Besides, these
days. miracles can be worked
with a pot Of paint and a few
yards of chintz. I've worked
such miracles myself, not once,
but a dozen times.
Get a good household maga-
zine and study the interior
decorating illustrations. AS for
a meal, Sunday night supper is
your best bet. You'll find Sug-
gestions for that, too. Creamed
oysters are good and easy to
prepare. Welsh rarebit is excel
lent. If you are too full Of
fears you can always fall back
on a can of something or the
delicateSsen store - though
things prepared at home are
more appetizing.
Don't stand shivering on the
bank, plunge in and show the
young man how capable you
are. L,s

WAS it anything serious?" he
asked.
I'm afraid it was" said Well
man. He opened the door of
&C." Especially after what
happened in here!"
Wellman held the door open
for the man to see the body still
lying on the floor. An involun-
tary gasp escaped the man.
you're in the next compart-
ment," We1lman continued. did
you hear anything which can
throw any light on this mur-
der?"
Cad! Murder! And I didn't
hear a thing out of the ordi-
nary!" The man seemed aghast
at the idea of having been so
close to the crime. He appeared
too greatly upset to answer ques-
tionS. He went quickly into his
compartment and Dale heard
the lock click.
Lets have a look, john"
suggested Dale. They went into
&C" and shut the door behind
them.
They had scarcely begun scan
ming the room when Wellman
The Washington times., 1930-11-11

to go they heard him lock the
door again.
They stood before compart-
ment Of" Wel1man knocked.
There was no answer. He knock
ed again. Both men were alert
now. Dale remembered there
was no one in the club car.
Wellman tried the door and
found it open. :
AS it swung back a strange
sight greeted their eyes. A
valiSe was spread open on the
berth. Its contents were scat
tered about the compartment.
The covers on the berth had
been thrown back and even the
sheet had been disarranged.
The pillow was lying on the
floor.
Beyond that there was no
sign Of anyone in the compart-
ment!
Here's a startin' point, John!
We can begin right here! The
devils ridin' tonight, sure
enough!"

gave an exclamation of surprise.
"The letters gone! There was
a paper-a letter-gripped in
that right hand! It's been pried
open and the papers gone!"
It was quite evident that the
hand had been wrenched open
by force. The fingers were all
distorted. For the moment there
was nothing to do about it.
First, the two men lifted the
body and placed it on the
berth.
Dale made an inspection OF
the room. The small doors TO
the adjoining compartments
were latched on the inside.
Even the inner window was
down.
Don't seem as if anyone
could get out of this room.
Everything was like this when
you broke in, John?"
yeah. That's what got under
my skin-gave me creepy sort
of a feeling. Seemed to make
me realize that the whole
thing had been planned and
heaven knew what might have
happened next. An something
