The Real American Base Ball.

Formerly the best horsehide from
Russia and the finest wool from Aus
tralia were used in making American
base balls. The test Of time has proven
that similar domestic materials are as
good as the pick of the imported ar
ticles. The ball cover, comprising Is
square inches Of leather. is stitched and
sewed by hand, as attempts to yoke
machine ingenuity to that task have
thus far failed.

Bruce Etheridge and other Off
cials of the conservation depart
ment, believe that opportunities
for expansion of the. shelifishenes
are possibly the most promising OF
all the fisheries operations in the
state. Out of approximately l.
100000 acres of underwater
areas capable of growing oysters,
they point out, only about one
per cent is now furnishing the
entire output Of the state.
Another feature of the COM
mercial fisheries development now
in process of being worked out, is
the establishment of definite
grades Of seafoods and the stand
ardization of these products in
North Carolina. Later, if facilities
can be found, the conservation d.
rector hopes to create a complete
marketing service, similar to the
system now in operation for varl-
Gus agricultural products, for the
commercial fisheries.

RALEIGH, Nov. 29.-Organi-

in eight counties along the coast
of North Carolina for launching
the oyster planting program which
will be carried forward through
the civil works administration,
Capt. John A. Nelson, state fisher

Counties in which the program
will be carried on, according to
Captain Nelson, include Carteret,
Hyde, Famlico, Dare, Brunswick,
Onslow. Fender, and New Han

tually all of the oyster producing
sections in the state.
Approximately 500 men will be
given employment shortly in the
project, Capt. Nelson estimates
and it may be possible to increase
this number after the close OF the
present season.
The major part of the project
will consist in removing seed OF

RALEIGH, Nov. 20 Com
plants are being received by the
sales tax division. here that bak,
ers and others who operate retail
stores in connection with their
bakeries or other manufacturing
plants, have just started adding
the sales tax to the price Of
bread and othar products. This
is entirely lawful and in accord
ance with the rulings of the sales
tax division, according to Direc-
tor Harry Mcmillan. But the
purchasers are cautioned to see
that the tax is added to cumula-
tive sales only, and not to each
individual sale.
"a bakery, for instance, that
operates a retail store in connec-
ton with it or at which retail
sales are made, must collect the
sales tax on its sales" Mcmillan
said. 'It can do this by either
adding the amount of the tax to
each sale or including it in the
price, some following one plan
and some the other. Thus some
bakeries sell loaf of bread at
8 cents and l cent tax, or total
of 10 cents, while others sell the
loaf at 10 cents plus the l cent
tax, or II cents.
"However, each customer is
entitled to buy up to 80 cents
worth of goods without paying
any additional tax. Thus Gus
toner may buy two loaves of
bread and Is cents worth Of
cookies without paying more than
| cent of sales tax. Or the Gus
toner may buy up to 70 cents
worth and have to pay only z
cents of sales tax. He may even
buy up to a total of $1.22 cents
without paying more than 3 cents
sales tax, since the regulations
are that the fractional part of
any sale shall be governed only
by the major fraction"
Any person who observes any
merchant attempting to collect
the sales tax on each sales, in
stead Of on the cumulative sales,
or on minor fractions in excess
of $1.05, are requested to report

Veterans Wage
War On Bandits

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 20. (UP)
Bank bandits who choose Nebras-
ka for the scene Of their opera
tions in the future will have to
contend with determined, sharp
shooting war veterans, pledged to
halt a series of holdups that has
cost Nebraska banks more than
100000 in 1888.
At the call Of Golden P. Kratz,
of Sidney. commander of the Ne
braska department Of the Ameri-
can Legion, legiomnaires have
banded into vigilante committees
to combat the desperadoes.
Twenty-Five Of Nebraska's 90
counties have completed organiZa-
ton Of the committees or are in
the process OF completing the or
ganization, according to Kratz.
The legionnaires are cooperating
with peace officers and will have
the status of special deputies.
KIatz issued his call after four
successful robberies in 10 days
had Melted bandits loot totaling
more than $4,000. Peace officers
armed with Anticipated weapons
are unable to cope with deter
mined, sub-machine gun armed
desperadoes, he pointed out.
"But when bandits learn that
they must meet u well-organized,
well-armed group Of veterans
when they perpetratc their rob-
berries in this statc,' said the
commander, 81 believe the drive
of criminality will be permanently
checked"

CHAPTER XVIII
M'NEAL parked the police car
and climbed out, following
3annister. Halfway to the en-
rance of the Shelby Arms. the
loor opened. A group of young
,eople-three men and two girls
appeared. They were laughing and
:alking rather noisily. The girls
wore evening wraps over bright
dresses. One of the nen had on
top hat.
AS Bannister and McNeal passed
hem the girl in the fur jacket was
singing the words Of a popular
song.
McNeal snorted "A lot Of diff
ference it makes to them that a
man was murdered here last
night"
NO." said Bannister soberly, Il
don't suppose it does"
They went inside the hotel. The
entrance looked almost exactly as
it had that afternoon. The same
girl sat at the switchboard. Link,
The clerk, was speaking over a tele-
phone. He put down the instru'
ment as they approached.
Good evening, Captain McNeal,"
he said with elaborate cordially.
Good evening! Is there any
thing"
McNeal interrupted, explaining
briefly why they had come. A few
moments later he and Bannister
stood before a doorway in the Sec
ond floor corridor.
McNeal knocked but there was
no answer. He knocked a second
time, louder. A third knock and
the captain began to fume i'm
patiently. They're there!" he
scolded. Link said so. I'll"
The words died as they heard a
bolt turned in the door. Then the
door opened ward slowly
Through slit Of not more than
TWO inches a voice asked sharply
Who is it,"
McNeal's answer was prompt
and impressive. There was a mo-
ment of delay. Then the door
opened wider. Through the open
ing a woman peered out at them.
Evidently she was satisfied or con-
cluded it would be best to comply
with McNeal's request, for she
stepped back and said in the same
sharp tone. "You can come In

eyes measured the two men from
head to foot. The woman's hair
was worn pompadour fashion and
fastened high on her head in a
style of 25 years before. She had

dress was of dark silk. high at
the neck. with a lace collar about
the throat. Over her shoulders was
drawn a small knitted jacket. She
was an impressive figure and at
the same time a forbidding one.
You're Captain McNeal?" the
woman asked. and the captain
nodded.
The pale eyes darted toward
Bannister. Then who's he?" she
demanded.
For an instant McNeal looked
perplexed. Then he said shortly.
Friend of mine. We'd like to talk
to you a few moments. Miss Hol-
lister l suppose we can sit down"
She motioned toward chairs. sat
down rather heavily in the nearest
Her odd, high-pitched voice went
on sharply. "What'd you come

McNeal looked nettled. He was

man who was murdered upstairs"

went on. II can tell you." she said,
that Tracy King was an evil man.

doing and the devil who came for

There was a slight noise behind
them and Bannister turned. The
door into the next room had
opened and a man stood on the
threshold. He was under average
height.-a little man with thinning
gray hair and mild eyes behind
spectacles. He wore a dark wooden
house jacket For an instant he
stood there. eyeing the group In
