Edson R. Waite of ShaWness, Oklahoma, asks: Did you ever stop to think that pessimism is what some business men try to live on. No one can make ex- penses on peSsimism.
 Now is the time to be opti- mLstic and improve business by advertising.
 Most concerns who thought they could do a big business without advertising are now out of business.
 Advertising helps to make successful business No business can be a big success without the aid of continuous advertising.
 "Only the concerns who adver tise consistently and consistently have the public wearing a beat- en path to their door

"You might help the boy keep decent
hours" he called after her.

10 O'clock" she flung back.
Go into the sitting room. l want
to talk to you"
She climbed the steep narrow stairs,
sas-lit, catching her toe in hole
in the carpet. Her brother had burned
it with a carelesSly dropped cigarette
and it had never been repaired. ,
At the top of the stairs she turned
to the left and entered sizable room
that ran across the entire width OF
the house. A reading lamp with a
green-and-white shade burned on her
fathers SCARED oak desk. Papers were
scattered about the floor and on the
stuffy, plush-covered furniture. The
room smelled of must and old pipes.
Cathleen tossed her black satin cape
over the back of chair and stood by
the desk, waiting.
When Dan Carroll came into the
room he did not look at his daughter;
lie stalked straight to the desk and
pumped into a swivel chair behind 1t.

spect it.
Had the other one. Tom, made his
ship? She could still see the reluctance,
the confused questioning i'll his eyes as
he stood outside the car looking in at
her rs though half-minded to climb
hack in. His eyes were blue = deep
clear blue-tlleir color intensified by
the coating Of tan that wind and sun
had laid over his face. There was a
slight aquiline curve in the line OF his
nose which somehow gave him the look
of young eagle. Even now she felt
his presence beside her. And yet-he
was gone. The chance was remote that
she would ever see him again What
must he think of her? A girl mixed up
in a gang fight at midnight!
Should she offer some explanation to
his friend of the ugly scene into which
the three strangers had projected them
selves? 1t would be difficult. The car
turned into Bank street.
II wish l could thank you and your
friends" she said to steve, moving out
of the corner to the edge of the seat.
Anything I could say would sound so
tame"
Stoves jolly face turned a smile in
her direction.
Don't try" he said. 1T was lucky
we happened along"
1T might not have been so lucky"
she said, and shvered Neil, the young
man who was bringing me home, should
never have gone after those others.
They are henchmen of Miller. an enemy
of Neils father. Neil must have known
they had guns"
Steve turned his head, examined her
with new interest.
I've heard about that kind Of
racket" he said. but I've never before
had a closeup of it."

any harm" Steve offered.
mo. He'll be all right. The police
man knew him" She tried to make the
remark casual, to keep apology out of
her voice.
The car drew up before three-story
brick house. The front was fiat and
1rimy and the wood trimming-door
and window frames-Tas painted a
rusty green. A fight OF worn steps
led to the door Light shone from
the windows of the second story.
Fathers waiting up for me- the
girl thought. To the young man she
said: Good night. Mr.. Steve. I hope
your friend caught the boat"
He handed her out with the gall
lantry inbred in his kind.
He did" vas the reply, even If
he had to swim for it."
The girl mounted the stone steps
and put her finger on the bell. The
muff1ed jingle OF it caused her heart
to quicken its beat. Her knees we're
unsteady. She tried to compose her
self and had only partially succeeded
when the door swung open. A stocky
man in shirt sleeves stood planted in
the doorway.
"A pretty hour" he said grufiy 'for
q decent girl to be getting home"
I'm sorry. father" she said. and
waited for him to move aside so that
she could enter.

in Dan CAROLS gray ones.

Name Suspect In
Double Staying
Continued from page u

planned to unmask man ne called
the vice baron of Los Angeles coun-
ty. Who this man was, police were
cndeayoring to learn.
A safe deposit box, crammed to
the top with documentary evidence,
was sought as the key to the situa-
ton.
Following threats upon his life
unless exposures of vice were halted,
Spencer had printed the following
warning in the magazine:
III any member of the staff OF
this publication is molested in any
way, it will be the signal for the
opening by authorities-and a GER
tain newspaper-of a well filled
safe deposit box now reposing in
the vaults of a certain bank. In
that box, among other things, are
described the names. addresses,
haunts and habits of all those who
would be interested in closing the
mouth of the editor"
Although Spencer had the keys
to the box on his person when he
died, his associate on the magazine,
Frederick H. SCHNEIDER. professed
Imperial Valley press., 1931-05-21

no knowedge of the box's where
abouts, and police had not located
it early today.
Brother Off-Guara
Crawford mad established his
brother, George, as a bodyguard
in ar outer office following the
threats against his life. But he was
absent when the lone man walked
in late yesterday, nodded to Lucille
Fisher, 25. Crawford's secretary, and
was greeted by the politician with
a Hello, there old man. How are
you?"
A short time later Spencer ar
rived. and was ushered into the in
ner sanctum. For perhaps half an
hour the three talked together, and
then there was the sound of an
alteration.
Suddenly two shots were heard
the stranger rushed out the door
and disappeared in traffic. Spencer
staggered out. blood streaming down
his side, and pursued him to the
street.
AS aid reached him. he cried
Where is that guy?" and collapsed
on the sidewalk in front of the
Church of the Blessed Sacrament.
He was dead when carried back into
the office, a bullet through his
lungs and heart.
Meanwhile, Crawford was found
on the floor of his office. shot in
the abdomen. He was rushed to a
Imperial Valley press., 1931-05-21

police hospital, and despite a blooo
TRANSMISSION, died four hours later.
Spencer's magazine recently hac
named Guy McAfee, former police
man, and a recognized figure in Los
Angeles gambling fraternities, as
one of the men it intended to un-
mask.
Shortly after the double Staying
Deputy District Attorney Robert P
Stewart and investigators went to
McAfee's palstial home to question
him.
McAfee offered an iron clad alibi,
declaring he was in the Hall of Jus
tice at the time of the killing.
He admitted, however, that he
was an enemy of Crawford, and
that he had quarreled with the poll
/ tician. He also had read Spencer's
J attacks upon his purported gambl-
+ ing and vice activities. McAfee at
one time was henchman of Craw-
+ ford. but the two had fallen out.
Buchta, according to SCHNEIDER,
had been offered a position by Nc
Afee as collection man" for his
Las Vegas. New. gambling resorts.
In the search of suspects in the
killing, detectives were dispatched
to the gambling ships Rose Isle and
Johanna Smith, anchored off Long
Beacn.
Widow Not Surprised
Spencer's widow could not name
the assassin of her husband. The
cfsnarf1anr
and her husband, she said. had al
ways gone armed. Yesterday he
left his gun at home.
In another statement, she told re-
porters you know as we'll as I do
who killed Herbert. He was a man
Herb had exposed. Find him and
you'll find the slayer"
Although Crawford was purport-
edly conducting a real estate bus
mess, police were certain he was
still mixed up in quasi-legal activ-
tiles. Voluminous account books in
cooperating diaries and daybooks,
were found in his office, and one
listed the following entry under a
January date:
japanese rooming house, $500:
Mrs. Flora Carroll and Mrs. Belle
Stocking"
Then there was the presence of
a voting list of the city, carefully
divided into districts, which would
indicate that Crawford was still in
terested in politics.
Some time ago he announced
that he declared himself withdrawn
from politics" and was engaged in
aothing but a real estate business.
He joined the church of the Rev.
Gustav Briegleb, and recently do
mated SOS. 900 for new edifice Rev
Briegleb was with him when he
died in George street hospital last
night.
