ever, a clause was inserted to in
clude operation and maintenance

preparation shall be available for

A wide door stood open. Dona

one end. It was plainly a lounge

doors. She almost had reached it

a large building, set back in the only

Dona headed the roadster toward
this building. Bearded men gazec
after the car and smiled as it

the car came to a halt.

Dudley leaped over the side and
stood waiting on the bottom step

Dudley could only nod, he was so

Swergin gave his attention at

he showed a chair out for her. Your

Maine Reactions

AYOW that a week has passed
IN since the voters of Maine de-
cided to make a little political his
tory, it is possible to gauge the re-
action and speculate as to what eff
feet the Democratic victory there
has upon the Indiana situation.
Just because a thousand miles
separate Hoosierdom from the stern
and rockbound coast is no indica-
ton that political reverberations
there do not mean something's here.
The political seismograph is the
most delicate of all indicators.
It's all right for state Republican
leaders, headed by Promising jim"
Watson, to smile and dismiss the
upset in Maine with mere wave
of the hand. That's just part of the
game.
But it doesn't mean anything.
If you have watched the papers,
you no doubt noticed that Ivan G.
Morgan, chairman Gin name only
of the Indiana Republican organiza-
ton, Immediately issued reassur-
ing statement and then called in
district and county leaders for a
couple of pep sessions.
If those were enthusiastic meet
ings, just show me wake.
Two reactions, however, must be
recorded.
The first is that it has made many
Republicans, officerholders, leaders,
and candidates who were lethargic
in their endeavorS, realize the Seri-
BUSINESS of the outlook.
Tt has inspired many to get out
and do a little pitching instead of
sitting in the Moorish room at c.
o. P. headquarters and admiring the
carvings.
The second foctor is the danger
of overconddence. which such an
upset creates among Democrats.
Cocky as the Democratic leaders
were before the Maine election, they
are even cocker today.
Il n
The history of American politics
for the last sixty years proves def
nitely that the Democrats win only
when they forget to act like Demo
Gratis.

THE Red Castle Mystery" by
\ H. C. Bailey brings back to
us one of the most pleasing of all
fictional detectives-Josh Chunk
the shady criminal lawyer of Lon
don, who sucks lemon drops, sings
hymns, disseminates and atmos-
phere of dreadful villainy, and
solves the most fiendish mys-
teries.
In this story Mr. Chunk goes
to call on client-a fence" for
the London underworld and
finds him murdered.
That wouldn't be so strange, if
the murdered chap didn't have a
bottle of leeches and book on an
cient religions lying on his desk
at the moment, and it all sets Mr..
Chunk thinking.
The upshot is that he goes off
to the vicinity of Luel Castle and
thwarts the horrible designs of a
gang of blackmailers on the life
of the Earl of Luel, aged 10
not, however, without finding that
Scotland Yard was convinced that
he himself was at the bottom of
everything.
This is a first-rate mystery
yarn, and you'd better put it up
at the head of the list. Mr..
Bailey's most famous character,
of course, is Reggie Fortune, but
Mr.. Clrunk seems to me much
more engaging.
The way in which he CONSTANT
ly manages to stand with one foot
on the side of law and order and
the other in the underworld is es-
pecially pleasing, and there are
moments in which you find yourself
wondering if maybe Mr.. Chunk isn't
the archvillain of the piece, after
all.

fastness of the forest was in strange
contrast with the dry valleys be-

In fact, that party has, in the
past at least, been organized like the
Mexican army, one private to every

1t is going to be interesting to
watch the manner in which Hoosier
Republicans take the Maine lesson
to heart; and the way in which the
Democrats subdue their natural ex-
uberance and buckle down to organ
ization work.
Can they do it? That's the ques-

is far behind IN the upkeep Of its
homes. We know from many reports
that home owners began deferring
needed repairs when the slump occur
red in 1929. Obviously, a man out OF
q Job can't spend any money on re-
modelling his home. But I am not talk
ing about that man; am talking about
the hundreds of thousands who solely
from an excess of caution have let the
home needs slide. To all these people
the present moment offers the best op-
portunity in 20 years to get their homes
In shape and prevent their property
values from slipping. Materials cost
approximately one-quarter less than
the average for the decade 1920-1930,
and skilled labor Is available.
But 1t Is q mistake to stimulate re-
conditioning and remodeling without
providing information ON how to make
repairs and changes wisely. The char
acter Of the neighborhood, the future
needs of the family and the house and
grounds as a whole should all be taken
into consideration before work Is be-
gun. This will insure against spending
more than the property value justifies
on remodeling and also against doing
one job which Is later found not to fit
in with the plan as a whole.
"It Is the primary purpose OF the
committee to furnish such information
