lance of a legitimate business.
Here he dealt in produce, ap-
parently, but every crate OF
cabbage and every barrel of
apples that came in went out
of the place half-filled with
booze bottles.
Overload of sin and gin, Bel
monte had a finger in every
shady deal and every dark
project in the metropolis. He
flew the banner of outraged
liberty and catered to the
whims of those who sought
pleasures and vices which the
law forbade-easy women, hard
liquor, gambling, dope.
In giving the people what
they wanted he affected pro-
found justification. He did not
confess himself a law-breaker.
If millions clamored to ignore
the laws he could see no reason
why he should not profit. And
in his own world he made his
own laws, ran his joints high,
wide open and handsome, and
ruled by the primitive code. He
employed thousands of people
who would otherwise have been
jobless, donated to the poor, en-
riched public officials, turned
over a million a month and had
the satisfaction of seeing so
many enjoying themselves.
Just a Laugh
The entire metropolis was his
; apple. He tolerated no interfer-
ence. He allocated various dis
tricts to his underlings and
they were accountable to him
and to him alone. He settled
all complaints with a gun in
one hand and cash in the other.
With the votes and money he
controlled the politicians and
the police and with bullets he
controlled his business. His in
italS were G. B. but they called
him B. B.-Big Boy.
So the impending visit of
Capt. Jim Fitzpatrick, of the
homicide squad, in connection
with the murder of the four
Dopey boys, was a laugh. He

CHAPTER II
Giuseppe Belmonte, oily,
greasy doyen of murder, Seduc-
ton and corruption, tapped a
fat forefinger meditatively on
his glasS-topped desk. He spoke
in low, almost inarticulate
tones.
IT don't think he'd be sucker
enough to pick on me or pick
me up," he said, turning his
furtive, pin-head eyes first on
the pretty blonde flash at his
right and then on the hawk
faced man who sat across the
desk from him.
"Of course he wouldn't?" ex-
claimed the man. Whats he
got on you? He's just itching
to make a monkey out of him.
self-and I wouldn't be sur
prised if he didn't bring along
q couple of reporters, so they
could blurb how Fightin' Jim
Fitzpatrick bearded the lion in
his den. Don't worry"
Belmonte's eyes twinkled.
He drew from a vest pocket a
long, black saltwater stogie,
broke it in half, stuffed one
part between his thick, lecher-
Gus lips, and tossed the other
on the floor. He waved hand
toward the girl who lighted
and held the match.
well, I'm payin' you twenty
grand a year to choke off rapS
like this" continued Belmonte,
as he leaned back and blew the
smoke ceilingward. You
legalerS are smart. You know
how to talk. When you don't
know nothin' you got plenny to
say. I know plenny, but I ain
got nothin' to say"
He grunted in satisfaction
and sank further back in his
chair. The lawyer grinned in
silence. The girl glanced at

less, the walls bare, and there
were a half dozen chairs scat

glass-topped desk was the only
piece of furniture that repre-
sented the Sybaritic ideas Of
Belmonte. He had other places
in abundance-his rocco apart
ment uptown, fitted out in eX-
travagant style; his office at
Cells, which seemed more like
a millionaire's quarters than
q place of business; his hide

where he kept his women and
assembled his lieutenants.

Suspicion of a BlOOmer
The second suit from the left
is imitation hand-knit, too. Be-
sides, it's a one-piece model
without the one-piece look.
That's because of the very new
and effective way the legs are
cut-slightly bloused. It's a
marvellous idea-just try on the
suit and see! The V-neck is
deeply cut in back, and the
neckline binding continues
around the waist to form a
belt and tie at the side. It
matches the top part of the
suit, for the bottom is always
dark, in any color combination
white with Royal blue, tan
with brown, Seafoam green,
with Hunters green and gold
with black. Perhaps you'll find
the suit is less than $500
anyway it's around that.

Your Health
And Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

S~9S@Ae N10 ~
The three factors necessary
for successful ventilation are
that it should be moving, and
it should be conditioned as to
temperature and humidity.
Most of us are accustomed
to think Of ventilation only in
terms of temperature and ade-
quate air space. The question
of the comfort Of a room can
not be decided on the basis Of
temperature alone. The amount
of humidity determines whether
a given temperature is comfort
able or not.
The ideal temperature for
comfort, health and efficiency
is about SO to 10 degrees Fab
renheit. Provided the air is not
too dry. When the humidity
OF the air is too low this tenn
perature will feel chilly. The
principal reason our offices and
homes are over-heated in the
winter is because the humidity
of the air is too low. With
very dry air one will feel cold
and uncomfortable unless the
temperature is close to 80 de-
greeS Fahrenheit.
When theaterS first began to
use cooled air in the summer
time they usually maintained
a temperature OF about 10. But
they also reduced the humidity
of the air SO much that with
very dry air this temperature
was too low for the comfort of
their patrons. Now they reduce
the humidity to a proper level
and maintain a temperature Of
about rs. \
It is curious that sanitary
engineers Of former times gave
no consideration to humidity
ing the air. The heating sys-
TENS that most Of us have in
our homes and places of busi-
ness are constructed with no
thought whatever of making
the atE moist or dry.

They're already wearing them
at Palm Beach-these daring,
airy types, of suits that give the
sun full play. We know, be-
cause so many people starting
South have been buying them
the past few weeks.
Hope for the Best
Whether or not the wholly
backleSs types and the one-piece

most of all, the shorts-and-ban-

these parts when summer comes

Fashions done for swimming.
And it doesn't hurt to hope that
soon We'll all be sporting them!
At that, however, not all of the
new suits are extreme.
New Curl Knit
For instance, that stunning
swimming suit pictured at the
left is really conservatively cut,
to be a sun-back type. The
rounded line reaches low in back
but doesn't look bare, because
it snugS the figure closely. And
underneath the fitted skirt are
short jersey pants, like the belt.
Yet the most effective feature
is the material. You know how
popular hand-knit effects are be-
coming. Well. here's an intri-
cate curl knit that's one of the
incest. Yet the suit costs just
about $500. And the colors it

Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A year ago I went with boy
of 81. 1 was 10. He used to
call on me two or three times
a week. He asked me to be-
come engaged to him. At that
time I refused, saying we we're
both too young to be tied down.
He said he'd promise not to go
out with anyone else if I'd do
the same. I refused.
After that he stopped calling
on me and I didn't see him
again for about six months, and
only twice after that. 1 haven't
seen him now for two months.
1 have come to care deeply for

him. We are both a year older
and since he avoided me I re-
alize how I miss him. I know
that he goes out with other
girls. I think if he really cared,
he'd come. 1 won't make the
first move, so am waiting.
ANXIOUS.
Don't be unreasonable. The
young man is doing only what
might have been expected, under
the circumstances. The simplest
way of finding out if he still
cares is to write him a little
note and say you'd like to see
him again. If he has become
seriously interested in someone
else, he will make some excuse

Most assuredly, he promised.

they reached the neighborhood

Freddie, pridefully, when he
had garaged his car a couple
