"Oh, 1 don't suppose I can, but

I don't believe they will"
The girl surprised him. She said,
STRENGTHENING. The woman last
night was strangeld with a silk scarf,
wasn't she? And Tracy King was
killed with a gun. The police have
never found the gun, have they?"
No"

yes. A 80" He added the
name of the manufacturer.
IF they find it is there any way

is shot.
Then if they found the gun" the
girl asked slowly, they'd know who
the murderer was, wouldn't they?"
Well. it would be a big help.
They'd have to be sure who it was
who fired the bullet
The girl sighed. Il suppose So"
she said.

her. He managed to get into the

Juliet France raised questioning
eyes. You're sure it was a man?"
she asked.
I'm not sure who it was. But
there r no women" He stopped
in confusion. There was a woman
suspected of the murder. Juliet
France herself. And there were
others who had played parts in the
mysterious drama. Melvina Hol-
lister and the pretty, dark-eyed
movie usher, Carlotta Scurlach.
What a world of difference there
was between those two! And Denise
Lang. Suddenly Bannister remem-
bered Daisy Conner. the house maid,
and her story that Denise had tel

the evening of Kings death.

DANNISTER said, Il suppose it

looked at the girl. Whats your
theory about the murder?"
Her voice came slowly. IF I were
trying to find out who killed Tracy
King I'd look for that gun"
The police have been looking

They haven't looked in the right

Bannister raised his hands. They

I'D look there anyhow" the girl
said. THE murderer would want

DRY PARTY SEEN
FINDING RESPONSE
Organization Being Set Up
in Every State, Says
Edward E. Blake.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Establishment Of q national dry
party is finding q ready response since
the drys were made political orphans
in 1882" according to Edward e.
Blake Of Chicago, chairman Of the
Prohibition party, in an address here
last night.
I'VE are setting up organizations in
every State" Blake said. There, Will
be many State tickets in the field this
year. and scores Of congressional and
legislative candidates on the prohibi-
tion ticket.
There is an awakening In progress
among the drys who now realize the
eighteenth amendment never had a
chance because its enforcement WAS
left in the hands Of political parties
which never believed in prohibition,
had no intention Of enforcing It and
betrayed 1t at the first opportunity.
Thinking drys are through with both
major parties.
"It now seems certain that no effort
will be made to enact another pro-
hibition amendment to the Constitu-
ton unless and until we at the same
time elect Prohibition party to
power to make 1t effective.
1.-THE fact Is that it might be un-
necessary to have q constitutional
amendment If we have a Prohibition
party in power, because Prohibition
administration elected to power for
the purpose could give us national
prohibition in the same manner
that is, by administrative methods
as the present administration Is car.
rying out the mandate of the people
to bring about national recovery.
1.-THE drys are learning the necessity
for political party action"

Go on" said Prof Fordney.
Honest to God, mister, don't
know how he got that knife in his
heart. I didn't stop once-beat every
light in the city and when I drew up
at the cross-road and he made no
move to get out, ! turned around and
saw that knife stickin' in him. There
was a pole light right there so I could
see plainly.
NO, I just felt his pulse. that's all,
then I beat 1t for headquarters. I
knew he was dead. I've seen plenty
of stiffs in my time. But how the hell
that knife got in his heart, unless he
stabbed himself, don't know"
WAS the lady tall or short?" asked
Fordney.
Short and thin but . nice
lookin' bit :"
Was the passenger you delivered
to the hotel a WOMAN?"
Yeah an old dame -"
you're lying Brown, SO I'm going
to hold you," interrupted the professor.
HOW DID FORDNEY KNOW
BROWN WAS LYING?
For Solution, See Page ALL.

you would like to submit to Prof. Fordney.

This correspondent has for years
watched the trend Of governmental
Affairs with the hope that some day
the people would really take an In
terest In what all branches Of the
Government were doing. for this Is
the easence of representative govern
ment. But the interest being taken
nowadays transcends all expectations.
There is q vast number Of people
who read carefully the news Of Wash
ington and who promptly write their
Representatives and Senators The
requests for information are almost
as numerous as the demands for jobs
The Government Is directly or indi-
rectly affecting the credit as well as
the business operations OF the country
to such an extent that Washington
has In more respects than one become
almost the business capital Of the

Is spreading out through new as well
as old buildings. The new deal has
brought much Of the hurry and hustle
and tension Of war days.
But out Of 1t all stands one central
fact-the people Of the United States
still run their government and will
for generations to come. The most
severe critic of Mr.. Roosevelt will
have to admit that neither he nor
any one at the White House shows
the slightest Sign Of resentment over
criticism. In fact. the President has
upon occasion indicated his desire for
critical comment. He knows that in
criticism Of all kinds lies the safety
valve Of the American system Of gov
ernment. He knows that even the
critics who denounce things violently
may serve . good purpose in drawing
attention to weaknesses in existing
policies.
What hurts an administration Is
not to know In advance Just what
effect its policies will have. For, after

POLICY CRITICISM
SEEN INCREASING
Those Affected by New
Laws and Regulations
Are Protesting.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Judging by the tons Of mail pouring
into the National Capital every day.
the people Of the United States are
more interested in knowing what
is going on and the meaning of cur
rent events than at any time In the
history Of the Republic.
Members Of Congress frankly admit
they have never experienced anything
like it. Newspaper correspondents are
getting a huge mail, too And what
do all these letters say2
Well, the commendation of the ad.
ministration is extensive. but 1t is sur
prising the way the critical comment
Is increasing. Six months ago 1t was
negligible. Today 1t is significant of
the operation of new laws and regula-
tions that those affected are protest.
ing.
Strange Viewpoint Seen.
One Of the most interesting things
about the letters Is that they reveal .
strange point Of view about criticism
itself. There are many people <evi.
IDENTIFY who think that no criticism Of
the President or the administration
should be published. that 1t is nothing
short Of disloyal to give currency to
any adverse comment about public af-
fairs. There are others who concede
the constitutional right Of free speech,
but who attack the motives Of the
critics
DO you want us to go back to
Hoover? Do you want to turn the
country over to the money changers
again?" These are comments writ
ten in many letters, some Of them
containing bitter invectives. Others
which question the administration's
policies, however. are equally vehe-
ment. Charges that the President
Is trying to regiment business and
control public opinion, that he Is
trying to set up q dictatorship and
that he is disregarding the Consti-
tuition are interspersed with outcries

opinion, and the letters that come in
here from day to day show that the
electorate Is intellisently alert and
that in the long run the people viii
get the kind Of policies that the most
thoughtful and sensible among them
really champion. For We are observ-
ing emotion often mixed up with at
tempts ct reasoning. Omcial Wash
ington Is hardened, as are Newspaper
men, to mere name-cal1ing and anger
in communications. The letters, on
the other hand, that are persuasively
written and argue with logic and re-
straint are likely IN the long run to
be the most effective In winning the
debate.

all, members Of Congress have TO Be
elected and anything the Roosevelt
administration does which 10 wrong
will handicap the Democrats at the
elections. 80 Washington Is full Of
critics and protesting interests, all Of
them urging change or amendment
or perhaps abandonment Of proposed
legislation. Thus far Congress has
given all interested parties . hearing,
though there has been Q tendency to
restrict the amount Of time and to
hurry legislation through without ma
ture consideration.
Broadly speaking. much good Is ac-
complished by drawing attention to
weakness In proposed laws. Often the
administration itself has amended its
own proposals. Thus not long ago I
called attention to the drastic char
acter Of the johnson bill on foreign
loans. A fortnight later the Senate,
