repealists' arguments that "the

Case Containing Instruments Crushed;
Few Matches Left, But They We're Soaked

We didn't have any needles. We
simply ripped up pieces of the
rope and canvas and used them
as thread, making the holes with
our knives. It took us most of
Monday to get the stuff out of
the basket. -
1t was a difficult Job getting
down and up so many times. We
had to come down a section of the
net and the auxiliary wires and
get back the same way. We
couldn't carry much at a time.
We had to watch, so that we
could catch the auxiliary wires if
we began to slip on the bag and
the section of the net that hung
down to the ground.
Finally Got a Fire
We managed to have our first
fire on Monday afternoon. We
had got the matches dried out by
then, although our clothes were
still wet. We made a fire a little
way from the wreck and proceeded
to get something to eat.
When we came to take an in
ventory of our supplies, we found
that we had eight tins of pork and
beans and four cans of pears and
peaches. There were also still
loose in the basket five oranges
and five apples.
Cooking the meat was the great
mistake. We thought we would
like some pork and beans. We
opened the can and didn't take
the beans out. We just heated
them in the can. We made mis-
take in putting the can on the
fire-a mistake we will never
make again.

IT WAS just 10 years ago that Abraham
Lincoln, standing on the battlefield of
Gettysburg, made a speech of exactly
272 words that has been called "a clas-
sic which will endure as long as the
English language Is spoken" And that
is one of the mildest tributes amid the
shower of extravagant praise which
has been lavished upon a speech In

1 given out a statement. There were | interviews with Link, the hotel | clerk, and with a switchboard op- orator. There was review of Kings career as a musician.
 Bannister read it all through has, tily, then tossed the newspaper aside. His aunt had begun stack ing up the breakfast dishes, getting ready to take them to the kitchen.
 Think I'll take a walk down town" Bannister said casually. Its a fine morning"
 "Its all of two miles down to Broad street." his aunt warned.
 Exercise will do me good" he told her.
 By II o'clock that morning David Bannister was still wrestling with his problem. The walk down town had in no wise eased his mind. He could, of course, stroll over to Gen. traI headquarters and say to Cap tain McNeal, q think I can iden- tify your unknown blond mur- deress. I think I saw the weapon she used and helped her escape. think I know the time of the mur- der"
 He could tell McNeal the story and he was certain that, as an ag- gressive, thoroughgoing police of ficial, the captain would bounce upon it as first-hand Testimony.
 Bannister could say, T left her at the Fremont some time before 10 o'clock"
 Only he couldn't. He remem- bered that look in the girls eyes and knew he couldn't do that. He didn't even know her name but he couldn't believe that she had killed a man.
 Years of newspaper experience reminded him, "The hardest ones always look the softest."
 Even then he couldn't do it. The devil of 1t was his nerves! He wanted to forget the whole thing but he couldn't do that either.
 "Damn!" Bannister swore ve- hemently and decided to buy a New York newspaper. He'd find something to read that wasn't plas- tered all over with details of Tre- mont's latest crime.
 There was only one place in the city to buy a New York newspaper.

CANADASTUDIES
 WHEAT CONTROL
Negotiations Underway to Begin Processing Tax
 on Product

Ottawa, Ont-(UP)-Disc as to the advisability of a process ing tax on wheat have been under way here between representatives of the milling industry and govern ment officials. Negotiations have not yet been concluded, and there is no indication that the govern ment is in any way committed to the policy.
 Behind these discussions lies the London wheat agreement and the question of whether or not it is necessary for a curtailfnent of wheat production next year!
 Hitherto the government has been prepared to allow nature to take it's course. It is well known that the infestation of millions of acres of wheat land by grasshop- pers certainly will result in re- duced crop. The proper remedy is to blow the land and leave it dur ing the summer month. If the ln- fested land is sown 1t is thought certain that the grasshoppers will destroy the crop.
 Whilde not enamored of a policy of processing tax wherewith to raise sufficient money to pay com pensation to individual farmers for acreage reduction, the government has been canvassing the situation. It is understood that the millers are. opposed to the tax. It is re- garded as probable that the dis cussions will convince the cabinet of the undesirability of adopting the proposal.

for that moment just before she disappeared into the hotel.
 There was a point, tool Would any woman who had just killed a man walk calmly into the largest hotel in town? She might as well have called at police headquarters and said Arrest mel"
 But there was the headline Unknown Blond Is Sought By Po- lice." He could not shake the words from his mind. She was blond. She had come out of the Shelby Arms some time after nine o'clock. She had carried a revol- yer in her handbag.
 "Oh-sorry, Aunt Kate!" Bannis- ter's voice was apologetic. I'm afraid I wasn't listening. What did you say?"
 'No, I should think you weren't listening. I asked if that was Harvey Knowleton who just went past. Was it?"
 Bannister grinned. Aunt Kate, I haven't the faintest idea who Harvey Knowfeton is or what he looks like"
 "oh, that's right" The woman was modified. T guess they did move in after you left" She turned back to the newspaper. Look" she said, There's a picture of Denise Lang. And here's an- other of her with Tracy King" Bannister crossed the room and inspected the photographs. The face of the pretty, fair-haired girl who smiled up at him was one he had never seen before. The picture taken with King was news pho- tograph, showing the couple as they sat watching a tennis match. There was another photograph of King, probably made for theatrical use. It showed him as slender, ark-haired and rather handsome youth.
 'He was real good-looking, wasn't he?" Kate Hewlett conced- ed. 1T suppose that's why Denise Lang wanted to marry him"
 Bannister picked up the news paper. There was more of the ac- count of the Tracy King murder but the rest was made up of rather inconsequential details. An at tempt was underway to trace fin gerpr:nts. Police Chief Henley had

Over her spectacles she eyed her nephew. That's why he wasn't at the theater!" she said excitedly. My stars! Think of thati The poor young man was lying dead all the time. Oh, but isn't this terri ble!'
 . "Read the rest of it." Bannister said abruptly.
 Mrs Hewlett read on, Police who believe King was the victim of a murderer are searching TOT an unknown blond woman. said to have visited the orchestra leader during the evening""
 Again she looked up. "A Wo- mani" she exclaimed. What did l tell you about that fellow not be- ing good enough for Denise Lang :? Denise is blond, too"
 The words trailed off and she continued reading: Captain Oli- yer McNeal of the homicide squad said a detailed description of the woman's appearance is in the hands oe the police and that she is certain to be apprehended with in 24 hours.
 "The bullet which caused Kings death entered the left side of the head. There were no powder burns, eliminating the possibility of suicide. According to Coroner Charles J. Westwood, King had been dead more than an hour be- fore the body was discovered. The body was found by Al Drugan, also a member of the orchestra, and J. A. Link, night clerk of the hotel. Drugan explained that he went to Kings rooms to find out why the band leader had not appeared at the theater for the 10:45 vaude- vile performance. Unable to enter the apartment, which is on the third floor, he summoned Link and together they entered the three-room suite.
 Kings body was found lying on thes floor of the bedroom. He was fully dressed. There were no signs that a. struggle had taken place but desk in the living room had evidently been rified. Two of the desk drawers had been pulled

out and their contents was in a disordered state.
 Occupants of nearby suites, when questioned, said they had not heard the shot. Mrs Lucian Fraser, who occupies the suite. di- rectly across the hall from Kings, said that her radio had been turned on most of the evening and that part of the program was a drama of underworld warfare. Mrs Fraser said she might have heard the report of the, gun that killed the orchestra leader and thought it was a part of the radio drama. c. A. Nelson, living directly above Kings apartment, reported that he reached home about 10:30 and had heard no sounds of any sort from the rooms below.
 Two employees of the hotel are said to have given police .descrip- tions of Kings mysterious femi- nine visitor but that description has been withheld from publica- ton. The employees said they saw the woman enter the building but did not see her leave.
 "A. B. Kaufman, manager of the State theater, could ascribe no pos sibIe motive for the crime. Kings absence last night. he said, was the first time the orchestra leader had missed a performance. During the 10 months in which King was em- ployed at the theater he had be- come widely known in musical cir cles of the cities. His engagement to Miss Denise Lang, daughter of Arthur J. Lang, 1862 Sheridan road was announced last week. The marriage was to have been an important social event of the Christmas season.
 Miss Lang, when informed of her fiances death, became pros trated-"
 q should think she would." Kate Hewlett interrupted herself matter f-factly. That's silly thing to print. I should think any girl would become prostrated to hear that the young man she was engaged to had been shot and killed. And to think it was by another woman. What did tell you, David Bannister?"
 It was an exclamation, not a question. Bannister did not an- swer. He had turned away and was looking out through the crisp, white ruffled curtains at the maple trees, almost shorn of their foliage, at tn esmoothly cut lawn. Last nights rain had brought down many of the yellow leaves. They lay in a scattered, irregular pat tern, still wet and glistening in the sunshine.
 
 It was a morning serene and cloudless but, instead of the blue sky and golden sunshine, David Bannister saw dark, drizzling fog. He saw pair of wide set gray eyes in a white, girlish face-half-hid- den in the depths of a taxicab; lips that moved tremulously; a small gleaming revolver in the woman's ! handbag.
 Good God, no-it couldn't be! That girl was no murderess. She looked more as though someone had tried to murder her. Fright ened within an inch of ther life, he had decided, seeing her clearly
