 as Jimmie Easwoll and his cousin, Don9ld Wade, neighboT of the cpinster, reach the acone. Previously Donald, learn ing of death threats against her, has sent her niece, Evelyn Blake, to Londcn to ask the advice of Jimmie, young law yer with a reputation as clever sleuth. With Evelyn had come Licnol Duckworth, whom Jimmie's apt perception linked romantically with Evelyn. This attachment they admit, while revealing that the eccentric old woman, hating love and TO- nance, harred their own hap pincss. Jimmie recalls his ad- vice to Evelyn tc let the Eolicc handIe the case.

seat of hers and one Of the stone figures fell on her?"
 That's it, sir Her fav'erite seat it wor, and every night when it wor fine she sat out O there and watched t'sun set. I've seed her scoores O times"
 You say the satyr, one of the figures, fell on her?"
 "Ay, but it niver fall O itser Il couldn't It wor pushed, tell 'ee ?
 Surely not" said Donald incred- ulously. That would be horrible Let us go to the house. What a ghastly thing for Evelyn and Mar joriel7
 As Donald ana Jimmie ap- preached the house, small group Of people emerged.
 Looks like the police!" Donald muttered.
 Two men were in front. One wal in uniform, and the other bore tht 
 impress of the police officer 0. higher rank. Close behind camI two girls and a third man. Jimmie recognized one of the girls as Eve lyn Blake. The other he guessed must be her sister Marjorie. ThI man was Evelyn's lover, Duck worth.
 Donald ran forward and the lit tie party stood still.
 T am terribly sorry" he said U the girls, as he shook their hands eSurely it was an accident ghastly accident.
 The girls made no answer. Tn police-officer replied for them
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-02-12

That is what we have to de- cide,' he said grimly.
 He was Superintendent Rich mcnd, head of the district police. Donald knew him and introduced his cousin.
 This is MT, Haswell. He may be able to assist you. He helped h. spector Sprules of Scotland Yard in the Hell's Bells affair and the Queens Gate mystery"
 Superintendent Richmond, a hard shrewd man with grizzled hair and cynical curl to his lips, had the policeman's usual contempt for the interfering. amateur but he was informed on all official mat ters and it was known in the force that Inspector Sprules, one of the Big Five at the Yard, owed a lot to Jimmie Haswell in the case: mentioned.
 Pleased Uc meet you, sir" he said. Shall be glad to hear what you make of things"
 Happy to help if you want me, answered Jimmie. "The news shocked me, as Miss Blake had con- suited me abont the letters" "
 And you said there was nothing fer us to worry about said the girl almost responsibility.
 Hush, dear said Duckworth gently. "The letters may have had nothing to do with ii"
 T am going to the garden to see where it happened,' said Superin- tendent Richmond tersely, and he turned to the village constable, whc waS already familiar with th1 scene. The others followed silent ly Jimmie and Donald joining them.
 l It was indeed a lovely spct, cut into the hillside. Round it ran 8 wall of stones. A grass border edged the pool in the center. At the nearer end were the stone steps.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-02-12

Above these steps, on the wall to the right, stood the carved figure, half man, half beast, of the grim ming satyr, poised lightly on his eleven feet with arms spread in invitation Below him was a wooden seat painted white.
 On the other side of the steps there lay on the ground the sinister figure of his fallen companion broken in five pieces. The body was complete, but both arms were snapped off and not far away was the head. It seemed to look at them with a devilish leer. There was a second chair. One arm was broken and stains of blood marred it's white paint. Beside it was the base Of 1 the figure with the stumps of the eleven feet.
 This then was the favorite rest ing place of old Annabelle Querd- ling. And this was the place she met her cruel fate. The super intendent stood there taking in the scene. Then he pressed his hands against the shoulders of the re- maining figure that seemed to smile indignantly at their ignor- ance. It bent stiffly forward as though it too would have fallen on the seat beneath.
 At bit top-heavy," he muttered Tt would never fall by itself, al- though not much strength would be required to push it over.'
 How many of you were here last night?" He asked the question of the sisters, but Duckworth replied

T was in the house at the time and when Marjorie told us what had happened we all came cut. Major Gresham helped me to carry Miss Ouerdling into the house. The gardener and the chauffeur were here, too"
 There is a point that you might nctice." said Jimmie, who had been knealing beside the wooden seats. "The unbroken seat has never been moved, while the other one has been shifted six inches nearer the steps. The holes in the grass show where it used to stand. By moving it a little to the right il became more directly under the figure"
 The superintendent dodded, took the measurements and directed that nothing be touched until photo graphs should be made. Then he turned to Marjorie Blake.

Let Down Coming?

Following hard on the public declaration by Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America in behalf of birth control by contra captive methods comes the favorable report by the legislative judiciary committee on measure that would weaken the now stringent Connecticut statutes on this subject. It would permit duly licensed physicians to dispense contraceptive information for health req sons. Miss Marjorie Cheney would amend the bill to include also the phrase for 'eco- homie reasons.
 It is the first time that birth control advo- cates have ever secured favorable report on any measure that they introduced in the Gen. eral Assembly of this state. However. the measure will not be passed along strict party lines Gf it actually is) as there can be ex- pected divergence of opinion among both republicans and democrats in the House and Senate. We think the legislature ought not to tamper with the present law, stringent as it may seem to some people. If Connecticut lets down in its fight against birth control by contraceptive methods it will set bad ex- ample for other states now regarding us as model.
 For health reasons information on con- traceptives would be given. That presup- poses something. But it doesn't presuppose the known fact that the use of contraceptives is injurious to the health and in many cases produces sterility. The great body of phy scians and surgeons in this nation have never gone on record as favorng the use of con- traceptives. Individuals and groups may do so, but for every one who declares himself or herself in favor of birth control by these means we'll wager that two can be found to condemn heartily their use on moral and physical grounds
 The use of contraceptives is too common in this nation today to let down the bars. The Federal Council of Churches admits that wide spread information, while accomplishing some good will increase "extra-marital sex relations That isn't the half of 1t. The use of contraceptves, regard it as you will can never be termed moral use. It is a fragrant abuse of the bodily and spiritual natures with which the Creator endowed everyone of us. It is nothing more than legal ized vice for the home. And no home can exist very long on that. We feel sure that great body of birth control opponents will scon spring up in this nation, bushing at the actions of their fellowmen and put them to shame for the utterly pagan doctrines that they seek to inculcate in our fair nation.

More Emigrants

Immigrant arrivals in this country in Jan- uary totaled less than l3,000, while depart ures reached 23,000. That is situation which has not existed for many years. Some of the departing aliens were deported under warrant. Many went voluntarily because they couldn't get jobs here and hoped to do better in their native lands.
 The United States government is sending certain aliens home free of charge under law providing for government payment of passage of any alien residing here not more than three years who has become public charge. Hundreds of unemployed aliens in Michigan are expected to follow this plan. Many destitute Mexicans in California are do- ing so Some of those who now choose to go home in this way are not necessarily un- wanted or undesirable.
 Unless the departing workers get jobs in their own countries, their condition won't be improved much, nor will they help the inter- national economic situation. Yet it may allay the fears of American laborers who believe that the foreigners deprive them of jobs. That may be worth while. particularly if it lessens ill-feeling and resentment between the two groups.

BEWARE BLASTING CAPS
(Hartford courant)

About five hundred children are injured or killed every year in the United States by the explosion of blasting caps. To prevent these un- necessary and tragic accidents, more freq tent in rural districts than in cities, the Institute of Makers of Ex- plosives has waged five-year cam- paign to warn children, parents and teachers of the great danger that lies in these little copper tubes, one or two inches long. half full of full minate of mercury, an extremely sensitive explosive. They fall into the possession of children when left behind after construction demolition work has been completed or when they are taken home in the pockets of workmen.
 It is not the children who are to be blamed even if they are unnec- essarily curious and totally ignorant of the character of the little tubes. The responsibility rests with careless adults If no caps were left negli- gently about, no child would play with them. Fortunately there are fewer of them than of loaded wea- pons and of poisonous medicines which are also left carelessly where children may find them. A system of careful control should be estab- lished on every job calling for the use of these deadly initial deton- ators. by which each workman should be held responsible for every cap given him. When it is possible, some responsible person should check the number of explosions and the remaining caps at the close of each half day.
 Warn the children by all means, especially when there is known to be dynamiting going on in their neigh

Illinois Votes Wet

Re-echolng the sentiment 1t expressed at the polls last November Illinois again registered itself as opposed to prohibition this week when the senate voted to repeal the state en- forcement and seizure and search acts by 26- 24. The measure goes to the governor now for his signature as it has already passed the house. The sentiments of Governor Emmer- son on the question seem to be unknown. He has not committed himself upon it, but must sign within ten days or the bill automatically becomes law without his signature.
 Last fall in connection with the state and national elections Illinois voted two to one to repeal the 18th amendment to modify the Volstead law. and to repeal the state enforce ment act. In previous sessions of the legis- lature three to be exact. the House of Repre- sentatives has favored repeal bll but the Senate voted it down. It was pointed out by Illinois legislators this year that it was the first time in twenty years that the Anti Saloon League did not control the Senate. We have been wondering about the obvious downfall of the league for some months now.
 Recently we read that prohibitionists are gradually going on the defensive in the fight that seems now to be nationwide, if ever 1t was The offensive tactics of the old temper ance leagues have vanished. Now the main purpose of those in favor of prohibition is to defend the existing laws and to explain how they can be enforced The moral lesson in ab staining from spirituous liquors is not painted as vividly as formerly. Hence we may expect more spirited offense by the various so-called wet organizations. none of whom, to the best of our knowledge. are seeking to return the saloon but are interested in temperance not by legislation but by education.
 The right of the individual state to declare itself for or against prohibition should be recognized by a1l regardless of the present situation which is becoming more obnoxious every day. Lawful use of beer, wine, and spirituous liquors should be eountenanced in this nation. If one state wishes to prohibit It should not necessarily impose its restrictions upon a neighbor which has different views upon the same subject Let Uncle Sam take care of interstate traffic as he does now. But let us have an end to this ceaseless pickering that now has plunged the nation into as hectic an era as it has ever experienced. The trend is away from prohibition and towards regu- lated control by the several states. We could hasten that by forcing all state legislatures to declare themselves. It is unfortunate that our General Assembly voted down the Cru saders bill calling for repeal of the state enforcement act But it still can pass the Citron measure calling for referendum in 1852.

Paint in the Back Yard

If people could only see their own property as other people see it. there would be some tremendous cleanup jobs done here in Water- bury and elsewhere. People become used to dsorderly home grounds, and fail to realize how disreputable and discouraging they look, and what blot of depression they cast over neighborhood. One thing that makes many homes look ugly, is the habit of letting small outlying structures go unpanted. It often happens that people will paint their dwellings. but if they have a garage a woodshed or chicken coop in the rear, they let that go un- painted.
 Fences also need to be painted. If not painted they soon decay. and either they will flop around in decadent condition, or they will have to be renewed. Painting a fence of woodshed takes but little paint and little time. and it adds so much to the neatness of the place, that it amply pays. A property owner feels happier in his possession, his standing in the neighborhood is better. his real estate is worth more money, if he keeps every bit of woodwork around his place in neat and attractive condition. These structures will last enough longer to make it pay.
 A home with every bit of the backyard woodwork painted looks like place where the owner is adequate to all situations. and it is pleasure to have such one for a neigh bor. People would pay more money to get next to such man. That reputation IS worth something as practical asset. A house with unpainted structures in the rear seems kind of announcement to the world that the people who live there are not keeping up with the game, and are letting things slip. No one can afford to give that impression to his neighbors and the world
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-27

In commenting upon the rejection of Rich
 ard Joyce Smith for the public utilities com
 mission the Hartford Times remarks that MT Smith was an excellent nominee. It is regret table that the state is not to have the advan- tage of his expert service Mir Alsop, the com missioner whose term expires must get con- siderable amusement out of the efforts exerted in his behalf by the 'republican organization. In 1919 the same organization showed its spleen against him by reducing his salary from $5,000 year to $4,000 year. Now it fights to keep him on the job. Such are the inscrutable ways of politics. .' Yes, but hasn't his salary since been raised to $6,000. As we understand the commission, Mir Higgins draws $9,000 salary; Mir Alsop, S6000: and Mir Elwell. S4,000. However. that is beside the question: We are learning lots of things about Mir Alsop of late. For one thing he is extremely popular in Hartford and among the legislators Moreover his wife is Avon's sole representative and was twice elected to the same office before this term Mir Alsop himself is owner of one of the finest tobacco farms in the state. Being possessed of considerable material means he has exper- mented in tobacco growing until his farm is recognized as outstanding for its development and production. All of which doesn't mini mize the case that the state now has against the republican party of playing politics where the public utilities commission is concerned.
