In those simple words, my friends
Lord Hale laid down q standard which
in the ordinary at least. has been tht
definition of common law with respect
to the authority Of government ovel
public utilities from that day to this.
With the advance Of civilization
many other necessities of monopolls'
tic character have been added to thu
list of public utilities-Such necessities
as railroads, street railways, pipe line
and the distribution Of gas and elec'
tr1clty.
The principle was accepted, firml!

our theory of government. The mex
problem was how to be sure that tn

For more than two centuries the pro

the use of public utilities OF all kinds
more convenient, direct and scientific
method had to be adopted-a methot

that this "lusty younger child" Of the
United States needs to be kept very
| closely under the watchful eye OF Its
parent-the people Of the United States.
But these cold figures do not measure
power in our present social order. E1ec-
tricity is no longer a luxury; it Is def
mite necessity. It lights our homes. our
places of work and our streets; 1t turns
the wheels of most of our transportation
and our factories. In the home it serves
not only for light, but it can become a
willing servant of the family in count
less ways. It can relieve the drudgery
of the housewife and lift the great bur-
den off the shoulders Of the hard
working farmer.
I say "can become" because we are
most certainly backward in the use of
electricity in our American homes and
home uses twice as much electric power
per family as we do in the United
States.
What prevents our American people
taking full advantage of this great eco
nomic and human agency? The an
swer Is simple. It is not because we
lack undeveloped water power or un-
claimed supplies of coal and oil.
The reason that we cannot take ad-
vantage Of our own possibilities Is
frankly and definitely because many
selfish interests In control Of light and
power industries have not been Sufl-
GENTLY far-sighted to establish rates
low enough to encourage widespread

In the excitement Of all the

we'd forgotten the problems of

Your Health
And Diet
Bv LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d
The expectant mother is one
of the worlds heroines. She
faces reality with an amount OF
courage that even her immedi-
ate family does not usually ap-
preciate.
Most women are sure they
are going to die in labor" says
DR.. j. B. De Lee, although they
do not often confess it. Be-
sides that, most dread the or
deal, especially if it is a first
experience, as one of great pain
and physical injury leading to
a life of inValidiSm.
Courage is measured not by
the actual danger one is fac
ing, but by how frightened you
are. The nearest I ever came
myself to being in the mental
condition of the expectant
mother was when I went up
in an airplane. When I sat
down in that plane and let
them start to fly me around,
compared to me, Mashal Ney,
the bravest of the brave, was a
lily-livered turncoat. Because of
all the things in the world
what I was frightened of the
most was going up in that air
plane.
So no matter whether there
is any justification for the fear
the expectant mother has. she
should be treated with respect
and sympathy. Under modern
conditions with an experienced
physician, a healthy young wo-
man has only a fractional
amount of danger in the FRO
cess of childbirth. Even older
women and women with serious
organic disease go through it
without much risk. The total
maternal death rate under good
hospital or home conditions is
about ~ per cent, and this
includes women of all ages in
all conditions of health.
1t should be emphasized, how
ever, that this means good pre-
natal care-under a physicians
direction, from the earliest mo-
ment possible, and leading a
quiet, regular, healthy life.

own story.

The medical examiner definitely
established that there was
construction of the throat
muscles, sufficient to have
caused death by strangulation.
But death was not caused
by strangulation. 1t was
caused by the, bite of the
scorpion! The strangling of
the throat had been done after
death!
why should any murderer
choke the throat of a body,
once it is dead? 1t is a waste
of time, if nothing else.
You will further recall the
finding of a strap of leather,
which under microscopic eX-
animation disclosed tiny parti-
cleS Of human skin. There
then remained no further
doubt in my mind that the
neck of the dead girl had been
encircled with a strap, tightly
buckled. Why?"
There could be but one an

Out of my heart and mind,
This strange distrust of the things

This memory of hours unkind!

Oh, wind of the dawn, be kind;

Let me leave nights dread be-

portance. Have these clothes
altered if necessary, but be sure
they are exactly right, not too
tight or too loose, with seams
flat and smooth. Sleeves are
better than no sleeves, as the
upper arm is not pretty if it
is well developed. Jackets for
this reason are a boon to the
older woman, and also make a
frock wearable for many oc-
casSions. But sleeves must not
be too elaborate, and a simple
sleeve makes the arm look
smaller. This years necklines
seem designed especially for
women, including the V neck
which is slenderizing, the cowl,
surplice, japots and revers. and
scarfs which ring in a dozen
changes.
Prints Must be Neat
Skirts hang straight and look
slender, and they must not have
fulness at the sides. They will
fit better if firm foundation
garment is worn under them,
and that roll of flesh about the
diaphragm absolutely must be
controlled, especially this year
when everyone has a waistline.
Small, neat prints make you
look smaller than large ones,
but a large print may be
chosen if it is in a notified
effect, and not spotty. This
years colors are splendid for
women too, soft blues, browns,
pastels, black and white in
combination, and prints with
dark grounds.
Jacket for Street
Best of all, these things are
not hard to find, as you can
see from our sketches. The
street or travel suit is of a
sheer brown and white print,
cool and practical, neat in
design. The one-piece dress has
a short sleeve tied with small
knot, and is trimmed with
one-sided scarf effect of white
organdie and lace, easily re-
moved for cleaning or laund-
ering. Matching pieces are on
the jacket sleeves. Notice the
straight lines of both the skirt
and jacket, the latter reaching
to a becoming point on the
hips. This suit is $3.50, and
comes in regular women's sizes.
Costumes similar to all Of these
may be found in half sizes.
Soft Evening COIOrs
The spectator sports or gen.
eral daytime costume, in white
silk crepe or pastels, has be-
coming surplice closing, pleated
skirt, and short sleeves. The
jacket is embroidered in self
color, and has a scarf. This is
also priced $3.50. You will
expect to pay a bit more for
your dinner dress, so the lovely
chiffon sketched for the late
hours is priced $3.50. 1t is on
a lovely soft print, combining
blues, green, and bit of yel-
low, and is over an eggshell slip.

z made a perfectly sound
opening bid of One Heart. In
stead of bidding, quite naturally
A made an informatory double.
B responded with One No Trump.
z passed, but A bid Two Spades,
with which nobody interfered.
He made Four Spades. B could
have made four at No-Trumps. A
small slam could have been
made either at clubs or dia-

with the bidding?
Progressive bidding would
have been most efficacious in
this case, but how was A to
know this? Even had A been
able to show in turn each of
his three suits it is probable
that contracting would have
stopped short of game; even
then the poorest of all makes

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

"Dougherty!" demonstrated
Thatcher Colt. Gould you wait
to question Mr.. Everett"
I'm sorry, Thatcher" rum
bled Dougherty, his face a
brick red shade But the
whole thing is getting clearer to
me every second. Go ahead!
Thatcher Colt was dehber-
ately filling his pipe.
Il am sorry to take issue
with you there, Dougherty. AT
this point, everything gets very
dark to me. 1 do not know
what happened. All that I can
safely say that I know is that
Christine Quires was murdered.
Somewhere in this apartment
which was not guarded at that
time-an assassin was con-
cealed. Now was the time.
Christine was killed. 1t was
impossible at this stage to at
tempt to visualize the scene.
I'VE have to guess here. But
from other facts that we know,
let us assume that we have the
right to lay down a hypothesis.
Then let us try to fill in the
gaps and see if it all aids us.
Let us begin by accepting the
fact that someone had a deep
and malicious reason for muir
dering Lola. But that mystic
rious someone-probably among
us here-played so deep
game that Lola herself was
taken into the scheme. That
is to say, the plotter told Lola
that two of Lola's enemies
should be killed to avoid an ex-
pose. Lola was not averse to
any counsel, for her own safe
ty; she was demonstrably a
person of little scruple. Lola
was tempted to commit murder
herself-and Lola told Baldwin
to order the scorpions.
Mainly SuppOsitiOus
sheer guess work, most OF
that. But follow the notion
and see where it leads us. Sup
pose that Christine had over
heard this blood-thirsty tempta-
ton? She is terrified. She
does not know whether to tell
or not. She sends for her
brother. She makes vague hints
to Everett. She comes home.
She finds the killer here-and
the accusation is out. In the
argument that follows, the kill
er denies everything. Chris
tines back is turned; the killer
approaches with a box of death
held high; the lid is opened
and the scorpion springs upon
the nearest victim. The death
bite was in Christine's ear.
80 much I have to guess
at-but all that follows is
based on factual evidence which

pended in some position where
it could not be seen!
The Logical Question

Logically and inevitably then
came the question-where was
the body put up, to hang by its
neck?
The clue lay in the condi.
ton of the body. 1t was soak
in wet. 1t had been hanging
out in the storm. Not on the
terrace; not on the roof-yet
still out in the storm. Where
could the hiding place be?
When I found hair of
Christine, wet, on the floor of
a room where she did not be-
long, the answer forced itself
upon my mind. It was a hor-
rible and CHASTITY answer-but
inevitable.
THE body must have been

dows that open upon a sheer
drop of % stories to the street.

doWS that did not open on the
terrace. I found one window
in Lola Carewe's room that
told its own story. There was
a support there for a flag pole,
and through that the strap had
been thrust and buckled. There
were strands of wet hair from
Christine's head caught in the
iron stanchion, like that I had
found on the floor.
That much of the mystery
was at least sufficiently clear.

THE MURDER OF THE NIGHT CLUB LADY % Rf story
How Thatcher Colt Solved
a Spectacular Crime

buttresses the rest of the story
to a most convincing degree.
"At least, the box was thrown
out of the window. But in
the magic mirror of reconstruc.
ton the scene of what followed
is too faint. We cannot make
out the features of the killer.
But from this moment on, GER
tain other facts become much
clearer. A part of the secret
is being given. up to us, by
virtue of the most common ana
ordinary virtues of everyday
police work. BY diligence and
careful scrutiny we find definite
indications. Mark you! When
we found the body of Christine
Quires, her clothes were soak
ing wet. Here was clue which
we could not overlook. There
was no mistaking its inn
portance. For some hours the
dead body of Christine Qulres
had been exposed to last
nights storm. Yet how was
that possible? Remember that
trained police operatives
searched this apartment-and
the terrace. Later we flooded
the terrace with searchlights.
Yet we found not the slightest
trace. If the body of Christine
had been lying out on the ter
race we would have found it
during our first search. But
suppose even that we blundered
and overlooked it. In our sub
sequent search we would have
found in the Sleet such traces
of the body itself and the foot
steps of those who dragged it
there that we could not have
overlooked them if we wanted
to-especially with our blaze OF
searchlights. No such traces
were there. The body was not
concealed in this apartment. 1t
was not on the terrace and 1t
was not on the roof. Now
where was it?"
Quite Alert
Colts tanned, eager face was
flushed and eager as he stared
from the white, attentive faces
of Edgar Quires and his large
wife, to Guy Everett, Mrs. Bald
win, and at last to the feline
little Vincent Rowland.
Where was the body all
those hours?" repeated the
Commissioner. 1t was as if he
were working the case out
logically in his mind; as if,
indeed, his thoughts had been
wired for sound.
"a very simple bit of de-
tective work has made it pos
sible to answer that question.
You will recall that certain
strange marks we're found on
the throat of Christine Quires.
They were brutal markings.

Dear Mrs, Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
One afternoon while was at
my cousins home the telephone
rang. My cousin answered it
and the person calling asked
for me. My cousin then asked
who was calling.
Because the person calling
wouldn't tell him who it was,
my cousin hung up.
I told my cousin that he
should not have asked who was
calling, if the call wasn't for
him. and that he should have
called me as soon as the per-
son calling asked for me. He
thinks that because it was his
home, he had a right to ask
who it was.
Which of us is right?
Your cousin did have a right
to ask the name of the person
who was calling. not at all,
as he says, because it was his
home, but because this is often
done to make things easier. :.
but nothing on earth can eX-
cuSe his rudeness in hanging
up the receiver when the per-
son who was calling refused to
give the name. But. as a mat
ter of fact, both were guilty of
rudeneSs. =. your friend who
was calling, who should have
given the name, and your
cousin who lost his temper and
his manners when he hung up
the receiver.
