The answer came before he
finished the question. The
door opened, and in stalked
Eddie Kluse, followed by six
burly gangsters.
Behind them came Ivan
Colimo, a grin on his handsome
face.
He had diSobeyed his
brother and followed the mob.
"Muscling in, hey?" de-
manded Kluse, approaching
Franks table belligerently. The
men eyed each other and be-
hind them the gang waited,
warily.
Ivan, still grinning, nom
chalantly moved over to the
player piano, and dropped in a
nickel. A discordant rag"
issued from the instrument.
Suddenly the lights in the
place went out.
Shots flashed in the dark
ness.
Only the little red light in
the player piano remained.
Then glass shattered.
Bullets. ripped through the
instrument. The red light dis
appeared. A choking cry of
pain came from Ivan.
There was a rush of feet
the sound Of an automobile
Starting-and the Franks gang
was gone. The lights went on
once more, and KluSe bent over
a body, beside the mangled
piano.

Everything but False whiskers

Everything but False Whiskers
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A few days ago another boy
Che is q resident of this city,
and I met two young. ladies at
a skating rink. We gave them
a line that we were brothers,
and had been kicked out of
two distinguished colleges, and
had Just come here on a visit.
Then to make things worse,
we used names other than our
own because / guess we were
more or less afraid of making
friends in this picked-up way.
We were granted the privilege
of taking them home. Here
we met members of their fam
lily. Our story, which had been
put together upon the spur of
the moment, finally was told
to their folks.
Since that time, we have
planned on going back but we
can't unless we explain. Should
go back and give an explana-
ton of the whole affair to
them? How can we ever get
them to believe that we are
not liars about everything else?
win they be vindictive toward
us? WONDERING.
With the exception of wear
ing false whiskerS or claiming
to be the lost Dauphin, you
seem to have run the gamut of
DISCUSSES. AS the girls appear
to be respectable, in spite Of
the way you met them, and
live at home with their fam
lilies, the only thing you can do
is to explain that the whole es-
capade was just a lark and
that you're sorry you yielded to
the impulse of giving false

"Get the grand" coldly from

Finkel moaned and pro-

'look in his cash register" He
scurried to his office behind

Colimo on the phone.

seemed to irritate rather than
really alarm him. He pressed
a button in his desk and four
men entered, led by o slim,
dark Italian, in the buttonhole
of whose well-tailored suit was
q fresh gardenia. Mozzo al
ways wore one. Hence, in the
gangworld, he was known as
"Gardenia."
Colimo dropped onto the
piano bench and his fingers
found the strange, melancholy
chords as he talked quietly
and smiled. When Joe Colimo
smiled, even his gang was
afraid of him.

Look here, joe" he pleaded,
"let me go along. I'm going to
be in the business with you,
and I might as well learn the
ropes. You take chances-why
shouldn't ~"
Colimo, whose fingers were
still gliding over the keys of
the piano. shook his head.
Praise for Newton
mo, Ivan" he decided. "ren
Eddie <luse to take six men
and go down there. But-you
stay here!"
"Aw, Joe, you still think I'm
wearing rompers."
I'm crazy about that kid"
Joe Colimo's eyes had followed
Ivan to the door. when he's
out of college, I'm going to send
him to law school,"
Speaking of lawyers, that's
g. clever mouthpiece of Johnny
Franks'-that guy Newton. He
gets them sprung after every
pinch-sometimes I don't see
how. I have hunch we ought
to get him away--have him
with us. They tell me he's even
organizing a political machine
out there in Centro-they fig
ure on electing their own Off
cials. for protection"
"YeS-I used to know New
ton we'll" Colimo's smile deep
ened. Years ago when he
was a big lawyer in the city
/ hired him once. But T couldn't
afford much of that. OF course
l was only starting in the whole
sale vegetable business then:
back before prohibition gave
me break"
But we ought to get him
with us now" persisted Gar
denia.
"No-can't do it. I tried"
answered Colimo.
We'll, better have him bump
ed off then"
Colimo considered a moment.
"No." he remarked thought
fully "It would make a big
row. because the papers all
know him. And think booze
will finish him quick enough
anyhow. But we have to- show
this Franks mob they'd better
keep out of our territory"
Johnny Franks, sitting with
his gang in Finkel'S began to
stir uneaSily.
A Long Time

to find out what's in his cash
register" he muttered, Il
wonder if he phoned Colimo~-"

he was the one thing in the
world Joe thought anything
about. This means plenty of
trouble-maybe more than we
can handle"
Newton considered. well
well worry about that when it
comes" he advised. Tn the
meantime Ruggles phoned in
there's a new boatload of stuff
down at our wharf on the river.
He wants someone down there
that he can trust"
Newton's eyes turned to Scor-
pio. Franks caught the look.
"Slaughterhouse," he re-
marked, "shot it out with Coli
mos outfit on the running
board tonight. He's got CUTS"
"I guess he's the man they
want down there"
The big fellow expanded un-
der the praise. Out came his
chest. He began to strut and
spoke boastfully.
You don't have 10 worry
I'll take care of anybody that
tries to hijack that load" he
promised. Just let me fill up
the old gat."
Proud of Himself
He turned to the table. His
ever-present bottle of milk stood
beside the drinks of the others.
He drank half of it.
Leave the rest here-Ill fin
ish it after we unload the boat"
he said as he departed.
Newton eyed Franks for a mo-
ment. then slipped his brandy
again.
We are protected noW--if
what I think is going to hap
pen does happen"
Johnny Franks looked at him
questioningly. Newton only
smiled.
Vronski interrupted. He had
gone to the wicket in the door,
in answer to a knock, and now
turned with alarm on his face.
"Colimo is downstairs with
his gang. He wants to see
Franks"
You guys get behind that
screen and handle the chop
pers. Vronski bring Colimo up"
Again Newton grinned.
Colimo, ushered in by Vron-
ski, looked far from the de.
honair Colimo the city was
used TO seeing. Disheveled,
with staring eyes, he glared at
Newton and Franks.
A Personal Revenge
Better watch your step, Col
imo," came with quiet menace
from Franks. We got two
choppers on you. behind the
screen"
Colimo looked It was true.
Two machine guns nosed ouJ
of holes in the screen. The
visitor shrugged his shoulders.
Il didn't get your brother,
Joe" went on Franks nervously.
Honest, I didn't"
''No-KluSe said you didn't"
responded Colimo. But what l.
want to know is-who did?
That's all I'm here for-the
man who got my brother
Newton's eyes flickered. AS
he caught the eye of johnny
Franks, he let his gaze wander
to the table--to the bottle of
milk. Johnny nodded under
standingly.
You mean," he inquired of
Colimo, that you'll lay off and
call this thing square-just to
get the one man? I'm sorry
about you're brother, Joe"
Never mind stalling," cut in
the other. There's just one
thing want. want to get the
guy myself.

RAIL HEAD ExTOLIS AEvERTIS.
lNo'S PART IN GROWTH OF WEST

San Francisco, March 4 -
Efficacy of advertising in the de
velopment of the West and the
essential need not only for main
tanning but increasing this ad
vertising TO cope with increas.
ing competition from other sec
tions, are stressed in an article
released for publication here by
Felix S. McGinnis, vice presi.
dent of Southern Pacific com.
pany in charge of system pas.
senger traffic.
Writing for the February issue
of Western Advertising and
Western Business, the rail ex
ecutive attributes much of the
phenomenal growth of the West
to coordinated advertising of its
natural advantages and cites the
supplemental and strengthening
force of individual advertising
by railroads and steamship lines.
"Advertising's Importance in
our modern economic life is so
we'll recognized that we can con
cede, without argument, that 1t
has been q factor in the progress
and development of our western
country" McGinnis writes. But
the extraordinary extent of the
influence of advertising on west
ern growth has been so much
greater than in other parts of
the country that its primary i'm.
portance may not be generally
recognized"
Declaring that the people Of
the Pacific Coast have been
notably advertising : minded"
since the early history of this
region. the executive adds:
THE ability to get together
and cooperate is q characteristic
of the West. It is we'll exempli
fed in both community and in
dustrial advertising. 1t may
have been forced BY the pressure
of economic circumstances, but
the fact remains that co-opera
tive action is making advertising
more effective. and advertising.
on the other hand, is helping to
increase community and regional
consciousness.
Advertising, Of course, is but
one factor in our western growth.
But the general appreciation Of
advertising as force, plus the
energy and initiative to apply 1t,
coupled with. ability and desire
to work together, and to coordin
ate effort, has made advertising
on the Pacific Coast q most &C
tive element in our progress.
We have had good product and
we have worked together to get
the most out Of advertising in
selling it.
