Action Without Harm
Whenever Constipoted

Here's a way to be r'd of consti-
patton and its ills-a way that works
quickly, effectively, but gently.
A candy Cascaret at night-the
next morning you're feeling fine.
Breath Is sweetened; tongue cleared;
biliousness, headaches, dizziness, gas
vanish. Repeat the treatment two
or three nights to get the souring
waste out of your system. See how
appetite and energy return; how
digestion improves.
The action Of Cascarets is sure,
complete, helpful to every one. They
are made from csscara, which doc
tors agree actually strengthens
bowel muscles. All drug stores have
the 10c boxes.-Advertisement.

The old Castle Clinton, erected dur
ing the War of 1872, just west Of
Battery park, was renamed Castle
garden and became famous pleasure
resort, says writer in a New York
paper. At first 1t was little off
shore, connected with the mainland
by a drawbridge, but later the inter
vening space was filed in and it stood
on the western edge Of the park.
Here were held annual fairs, con-
certs, theatrical performances, OPP
eras and the circus. 1t filed much
the same place in the life of the city
as Madison Square garden did in after
years. It was here, in 1850. that the
famous singer, Jenny Lind, sang to en-
raptured audiences.

CHAPTER "
The Enerny's Lair

Had Claire's invitation to lunch been
anything but trick to insure her abb
sence from the studio while it was be-
ing broken into? 1t wouldn't have
been necessary to do that, and Claire
probably knew it. Max Lewis knew it,
anyhow, for Babe had told him the
night ne brought her home that she
and Rhoda worked all day at the
News, and that Doris and Isabel were
off on tour with their ballet. No,
Claire had asked her to lunch in order
to find out something.
What could she have found out?
Not much, certainly. Rhoda was sure
she hadn't told anything important.
Wait a minute, though! She had said
that none Of her fathers papers had
been destroyed. There was a whole
trunk full of them, she'd said, and she
had sealed up the trunk. In other
words, she'd volunteered the fact
fool! Silly, babbling fool that
sealed-up trunk was the thing to
look for.
But had she said that 1t was in the
studio? She couldn't remember hav-
ing said that in so many words, but
she must have admitted it>by infer
ence, since Claire had suggested coming
home with her and helping in the
search for the paper she wanted. Had
Claire expected her to accept an offer
like that? Probably not very serious
ly, but she might have regarded it as
a chance worth taking. Anyhow, 1t
hadn't been until after Rhoda had de-
clined this offer-giving away her own
suspicion, no doubt, hand over fist
that Claire had remembered the friend
who was waiting for her to telephone
him.
'Them," she'd said, though; not
"him." Did that really mean there
were two of them: Max and his uncle,
Forster? Most likely nos Claire's
hatred of old Forster had seemed real
enough. 1t must have been Max she'd
telephoned to, waiting at a telephone
somewhere for Claire's instructions.
His attempt yesterday to find the
papers they wanted had been unsuc-
cessful, because he hadn't known what
to look for. So he'd taken her three
hundred dollars instead. Did Claire
know that? she wondered. That might
be worth thinking about later, but she
hadn't time to follow it out now. Max
had tried again today, with bet
ter information, remembering, likely
enough, just where he'd seen the
sealed-up trunk the day before, and
had succeeded without any trouble at
all. 1t had just happened, within the
past hour, thanks to her own plain
imbecility in giving everything away.
She hated the thought Of telling
Martin-what had happened, even while
she was wishing he were here at her
elbow now telling her what to do.
Well, couldn't she think of anything,
do anything, for herself? Was she
going to sit down and let that pair Of
crooks get away with it? They were
probably up at Claire's fiat now gloat-
ing over their booty, grinning about
how easy she'd been.
She wouldn't call the police. She
couldn't do that, with the story Of her
fathers disgrace involved in the mat
ter, and they knew it. That's what
they were counting on. They'd been
too clever for her; not Max, but Claire.

after listening a little longer, "Say,
are you trying to be funnyT'
Apparently, though, it wasn't joke.
Certainly not from Claire's point of
view. For the next time she spoke
her voice was raucous with anger, and
what she said a mere incoherent jum-
BILE Of unccmpleted questions.
Right in the middle Of this the per-
son on the other end Of the line must
have hung up. There was silence ;
dead unbfoken silence. The woman
couldn't still be standing there before
the telephone, yet Rhoda hadn't heard
her move away. When it had lasted
as long as she could endure it she be-
gan pounding on the door.
To her surprise Claire came at once
and unlocked it. She herself pulled
it open and they stood face to face.
Whatever remonstrances Rnoda meant

Rundown, Weak,
Nervous?

To have plenty of firm flesh and the
ability to do a big days work and feel
'like two-year-old" at night, you
must relish your food and properly di-
gest it. If you can't eat, can't sleep,
can't work, just give Tanlac the
chance to do for you what it has done
for millions.
Mrs. Fred Westin, of 3S7 E. 57th
st. North, Portland, Ore, says: "Tan-
lac cured my stomach trouble COM
pletely after three years suffering. 1t
built me up to perfect health, with
gain of q lbs"
Tanlac is wonderful for indigestion
gas pains, nausea, dizziness and
headaches. 1t brings back lost appe-
tite, helps you digest food, and gain
strength and weight. No mineral
drugs; only roots, barks and herbs,
natures own medicines. Less than 2
cents dose. Get bottle from your
druggist. Your money back If it
doesn't help.

THE STORY

Max Lewis, whom Martin In
stinctively dislikes. He over
hears a conversation between
Lewis and q woman, which he
realizes concerns Rhoda. He re-
calls q "blind ad" inquiring the
whereabouts Of 'Rhoda McFar-
land" and senses a newspaper
story. He believes that is Rho
da's real name. She refuses to
deny or admit it. However, 1t
recalls her childhood in Cali

had been happy until misfortune

Towns and Cities

The bureau of the census says that
the population has nothing to do with
the matter of town being called
city. This is matter of state legis-
lation. The Post Office department
says that town must have 10000
population before it can be given city

to make were silenced by the woman's
look. She looked as If she'd forgotten
that Rhoda was there; forgotten what
she'd come for; forgotten almost who
she was. She looked at her blankly
for a moment and then with kind
of terrifying intentness, as if trying to
decide whether she had, could possibly
have, any connection with or knowl-
edge of that mysterious message over
the telephone.
Evidently her conclusion was mega
tive, for with faint shrug she turned
away. you can come out now" she
said, "if you like. And go! Go home!
There's nothing here that's any bust
ness of yours. And God knows l don't
want to keep you here"
Rhoda didn't hesitate. The smolder-
ing fury in the woman was not only
formidable, it constituted a sort Of
guarantee Of the truth Of what she
said. Rhoda went, with the best APP
pearance of dignity she could muster.
"Drive away from here" she said to
the chauffeur, "but as slowly as you
can, and not very far. 1 want to
think"
Before they'd gone half block her
thoughts resulted in question.
"Could you follow anybody?" she
asked.
II could until it got too dark, unless
they had too fast q car for me. Do
you want to follow somebody?"

woman I want to see is coming out in
a few minutes, and want to know
where she goes"
"Well," he said, "that's easy. I'll
wait here with my flag up. You go
back and slip into one of the side
vestibules in this fiat building where
you can keep an eye on her door. She
may order taxi by telephone, or she
may walk down here and pick one up"
Claire, it appeared, wasn't in a
hurry. Time went pretty slowly for
Rhoda, who felt like a sneak thief
waiting in that vestibule, and she was
on the point Of giving 1t up when she
saw another taxi drive up to Claires
door. But after that things happened
swiftly.
Claire came down almost at once,
got into her taxi, drove to the boule-
ward and turned south, down town.
In another minute Rhoda, in her own
taxi, was following az safe distance.
1t was almost too easy to be exciting.
Down the boulevard to the parkway,
and then branching to the right down
the parks western boundary, she saw
the other taxi stop and Claire get out
at the Worcester hotel.
"All right" Rhoda said to the
chauffeur of her taxi. "You can stop
here, too. And this time you needn't
wait"
She didn't know what she was going
to do, in there, but 1t was clearly the
place where things were coming into
focus.

ANTI.FREEZE DANGER
IN DRINKING Is SEEN
Health Officers Warn Blindness
and Death May Follow
Beverage Use.

8y the Associated Press.
A warning against the dangers of
antd-freeZe solutions mistakenly used
tor beverage purposes was contained to-
day in a report of State health officers
to the Public Health Service.
The report recommended that Surg.
Gen. Cumming urge upon makers
of anti-freeze solutions the necessity Of
labelling and coloring to guard against
deaths by drinking.
Possible means of making the solu-
tionS undrinkable were advanced and
the recommendation cited "the ease
with which methanol, now distributed
rather loosely for anti-freeze purposes,
may mistakenly be utilized for beverage
purposes and cause loss Of vision and
loss Of life"
Asst. Surg. Gen. w. +. Draper, acting
-sead Of the Health Service, was desig-
Sated to receive the recommendation.
It was announced today that the
Public Health Service plans to call an
early meeting with manufacturers Of
methanol and other anti-freeZe Solu-
tions to SEE If these can be made un-
drinkable.
The assembly which drafted the re-
port closed last night with election of
DR.. T. b. Beatty Of Utah as president

thorities' conference. DR.. J. w. Bell OF
Ontario was elected vice president and

NEW YORK, April 30.-William H.
Grady, mining engineer, who left MS
Russian post as corlSultant because
Soviet authorities deported his wife for
writing a series of magazine articles,
arrived today with Mrs. Grady on the
Leviathan.
Mrs. Grady said she was asked to
leave the country because of her article

anecdotes which depicted Stain as a

Russia and Its people "are wonderful"
They both predicted that, in spite Of
the hardshipS and handicaps of the
Soviets in carrying out their f1ve-year
plan, 1t ultimately would succeed. thus
challenging the world In production at
lower costs.
MRS. Grady said Soviet authorities,
about to undertake the development of
q new mine, asked her husband to re-
main while his wife returned to Amer
lea, pointing out that in the Soviet
Union, husbands and wives often were
sent to separated parts of the coun-
try for the economic good Of Russia.

said, and officials paid his contract In

PLANE AND BUS TAX
ON GAS IS DISPUTED
Kentucky Court Reverses
Other Rulings Involving
Interstate Question.
BY JOHN F. MILLER.

The question whether airplane COM
panies and long distance bus and truck
lines may be required to pay gasoline
taxes is question now vexing tax Off
cials in number of the States.
The latest case, started in the Fed
eral courts by the Eastern Air Trans
port Co., attacks only the South Caro-
lima law, but more than a dozen other
opinions and rulings have been handed
down on the subject. Some of these
appear to be in sharp conflict, and in
all probability the question is one to
which the final answer will be made
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
When the trainers of the Constitu-
ton inserted provision that no State
should interfere with Interstate Com
merce, sailing vessels and stage coaches
were the common means of transpor-
tation. A vehicle that could touch sew
eral States in a single day was not
| thought of, but even If it had been,
the provision quite likely would have
been inserted just the same. At any
rate, it is there, and the only question
! is as to its application.
Combat State Tax.

State line, it is engaged in interstate

| tend, and a State tax on gasoline uSec

in the journey Il an interference with
such commerce.
The question arose first In q suit
brought by the United states Airways,
Inc, in which Federal court enjoined
the State of Oklahoma from imposing
any tax on fuel used in the compRny's
planes. The Oklahoma authorities an
nounced that the decision would not
be appealed and shortly thereafter the
Nebraska attorney general stated that
in his opinion the decision was correct
and would be applied in that State.
The attorney general Of Florida issued
a somewhat similar ruling.
Boeing Air Transport, Inc, started a
proceeding in the Federal court seeking
a similar holding in wyoming, and one
of the lower courts of New Mexico in
a case brought by Transcontinental &
Western Air. Inc, upheld the COM
panieS' contention.
Ruling in Kentucky.
On the other hand, the highest court
of Kentucky held that an oil company
must pay tax on fuel which it sold
to truck owners, taxicab companies and
wholesale grocers for use in going to
and from their places OF business IN
Cincinnati, across the Ohio River.
State officials take the position ap-
parently that in the case of trucks and
busses the tax may be justified on the
ground that it is for the privilege of
using the highways Illinois, Michi-
gan and Minnesota have SO ruled. In
many cases, however, the gasoline pur-
chased in particular State Is not used
to propel motor vehicles over the roads
Of that State. The Kentucky court, in
its opinion. did not attempt to justify
-
be imposed regardless of the purpose for
which the fuel was used. This is in
sharp conflict with the Federal Courts
holding in the Oklahoma case, a con-
flict that can be settled only by the
Supreme Court.
