both economically and
spiritually, the relief that can come
from some degree of successful issue
by the disarmament conference" the
President said.
"Some two months ago presented
ideas which believed would con-
tribute to a solution Of some Of the
problems, and which were incorpo-

CLEAR signals were visible during

following from the co-ordinated plans
Of public agencies and private finance
to bring about basic improvement in
the condition Of business, the Ameri-
can Bankers Association Journal says
In its monthly review.
1t notes that, although immediate
stimulations In current commercial and
industrial activity were lacking and
favorable trends in standard trade in
dexes were not apparent, growth in
financial confidence and decrease In
public fear were too definite to be
based on anything but solid facts and
carried greater weight than formal
statistics"
Concrete expression Of a return Of
financial confidence was given for a
period during March in the bond mar
ket. which evidenced relaxation In
the pressure Of financial distress and
fear, and turn In the direction Of
safety and confidence, the Journal says.

A SSISTANT ATTORNEY GEN.
- eral Seth Richardson, in a report
to the senate, described police admin
istration in Honolulu as "impotent, un-
disciplined, neglectful and unintelli-
gent"
The report was in answer to a sem
ate resolution calling for information
on law enforcement in Hawaii. It fol-
lowed the wave of criticism in navy
and congressional circles over the
reign of terror in the islands, and par
ticularly in Honolulu, brought to light
by the attack and assault by five ma
tives upon Mrs. Tralia Massie.
Mr.. Richardson recommended the
appointment by the President of ter
ritorial police head for the entire ter
ritory, with full power Of control and
organization, and similar appointments
of an attorney general to be the public
prosecutor.
Regarding conditions in general,
Richardson reported:
'We found no organized crime, no
important criminal class, and no
criminal rackets. We did not find
substantial evidence that a crime
-so-called-was in existence in
Honolulu. We did find, however,
ample evidence of extreme laxity in
the administrator Of law enforcement
agencies.
I'VE believe that a continuation of
such laxity is fraught with much so
cial and political danger"

CHAPTER VI
Without Warning

Evening found the blue roadster at
Marysville, Kan, where stop was
made for dinner. Inquiry along the
way had proved that the Fleetwing
was still on ahead; but of the limou-
sine they had heard nothing.
Confident, however, that theirs was
the rearmost Of the three cars, they
covered another hundred miles before
stopping for the night in a small
town. Since there was no public
garage. they put the roadster under a
shed in the tavern yard, where the
innkeeper assured them it would be
safe, and went to bed.
The next morning, at breakfast, the
innkeeper burst in upon them to ask
If they had locked the car before
leaving it.
II didn't" said Markham promptly.
"Why?"
"'Cause it's gone, slick and clean |!
Whadda you know about that? My
land Nothin' like that's ever hap
pened here before. You go on and
finish eatin' an I'll get to work on the
phone"
(Which means?' Lands queried,
after the landlord had gone.
ut may mean nothing more than
an ordinary car theft"
Lands shook his head. "I'm afraid
not. I'm thinking it means that some
body wants to leave us stranded"
"The three men in the Fleetwing?"
Hardly, you'd say. Apart from the
fact that they've been identified as
respectable citizens, unless everybody
has been lying to us, they are hours
ahead of us-and have been ever
since we left st. Joseph. Candy is
the man we haven't been able to To-
cate"
ooh, no, not Candy. You are for
getting that he has Betty and her ia
Their with him"
II know. But, in spite of that, he
is keeping tab on us, or trying to.
Otherwise he wouldn't have asked
about us in the st. Joseph hotel That
looks as If he might have been fol-
lowing us, doesn't it?"
'Why should he follow us?"
Lands shrugged. ''Tm no mind
reader. There are times when l wish
l were-and this is one of them"
Since the perturbed tavern keeper
was likely to do everything possible to
trace the car stolen from his prem
Uses, they took their time over break
fast. Then Markham told him he
would pay liberal reward for infor-
nation; after which they went to sit
on the tavern porch and smoke and
wait for results.
"Not that there are likely to be
any results" Markham offered. "I've

crossed the lobby and asked the clerk
for match. He said, BY George!
thought you and your friend had gone.
There was a gentleman just now ask
ing for you, and 1 told him you'd left
not five minutes before. He said he
was sorry, and then he asked about
those three Louisville men you were
inquiring about; when they came, and
how long they'd been gone / could
see he had his curiosity aroused, but
I didn't say anything"
"What does Candy know about the
Louisville men, Wally?" Lands asked.
That's just what I'd like to know,
Owen. And, added to that, how he
knew they'd been here in st. Joseph,
and how he knew we'd been here"
Landis' eyes, the dreamy eyes of
the inventor and research student,
grew thoughtful. II think we are
justified in going on" he said; and, as
the blue car turned into the main
street, II wish Betty and the pro-
fessor had turned that fellow down
when he asked them to drive with
him. l don't trust him, Wally."
Crossing the river to Elwood, on the
Kansas side of the Missouri, they
soon learned that a Fleetwing had
gone west earlier in the day; also that
a Nordyke limousine had followed
within the last half hour.
SO it came about that later in the
afternoon, three cars might have been
seen speeding over the Pixies Peak
highway. Well in the lead was a
Fleetwing, with two men in the rear

SYNOPSIS

Owen Lands, young inventor,
has developed an extraordinary
"silencer," which is stolen from a
safe in his laboratory. Lands tells
Wally Markham, his chum. the
ing the combination Of the safe, is
Betty Lawson, with whom the In
ventor. is in love; Markham takes
a plaster cast of a woman's foot
print, found beneath the window
OF the laboratory, and takes an OPP
portunity to At 1t to one of Betty's
shoes They are identical. Betty
tells Markham Herbert Candy, q
stranger, posing as promoter"
had driven her home the previous
night, and that she had doZed in
the car. Markham does not tell
Lands of his discovery. Vaguely
suspicious of Canby's honesty, he
searches his hotel room, in his abb
sence, finding two loaded automatic
revolvers and a complete set of
burglars tool. Candy brings the
revolvers and burglars kit to the
hotel clerk, claiming to have just
found them in his room. That
night the safe in the bank at
Perthdale is blown open and loot
ed, the noise of the explosion be-
ing unheard. Satisfied that his
"black box" Is in the hands of
:rooks, Lands, with Markham,
goes to Perthdale. Three stran-
gers, claiming to be business men
Of Louisville, are the only possible
suspects.

Let their findings help you decide

For test, fifty average babies were
chosen. Into their bottles through the

millions of mothers and grandmothers in
this country as wonderful baby builder.
That milk was Eagle Brand. Eagle
Brand was the only food these babies re-
ceived, except for the usual supplement
tary FOODS now given even with mothers
milk.
And how those babies were studied!
Regularly, X-Ray pictures of bones were
taken. Tooth development was watched.
Weights and heights recorded. Blood
counts made. And all these results were
compared with other groups of babies,
similarly fed on other foods.

every scientific test the result was favorable
to Eagle Brand. This simple diet Eagle

Bronchial Troubles

Bronchial troubles may lead to some.
thing serious. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsifed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold &C.
ton; it soothes and heals the inflamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is recog.
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per.
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
OF throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in.
famnation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth Of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment Of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms Of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
