All of which recalls the fact that
the series between the Yankees and
the Tigers, starting today in Detroit,
will be all cluttered up with crucial
moments. II will stir up more dust
than any series played this season.
1t may not settle the championship,
but it will write a roaring chapter

There also is the st, Paul open. with
an annual field almost as good as

"What SOP"
THE SO he owed you" explained Pop.
"Oh." said Lawton. mo, guess Ill have to
kiss that good-by now
Pop said, That's fupny-that he should
let you come over here and then not have the
money to pay you" Lawton shrugged. That's
the way it goes" he said.
Outside Lawton said: I've got my here.
I'll drive you back to the station house"
They started and had gone only few blocks
when Pop said sharply. Look out; there's q

Lawton jammed on the brake and said: Il

might have got ticket"
Pop made a noise in his throat He didn't
like Mr. Lawton. There were several things
about him he didn't like, including any pre-
sumption that he, Pop. would fix a traffic
ticket for him.
Pop had been thinking about Mr.. Lawton-
thinking a detective thanksgiving to recon-
cie little things. casual things that don't seem
quite right
Why for instance, Lawton had called the
police instead Of q doctor when he found
Peterson. The average man. Pop knew, doesn't
realize that police must be called in a suicide
case. And then there was the matter of Law
ton making much talk about the $50 and
then forgetting it. Another little thing, but
1t helped to add up.
A ND, then, there was another little thing he
was trying to think about-something
that was deep in his mind and trying to come
up, but couldn't
I'm probably going nuts" said Pop to him.
SELF But as the car stopped at the station
house he covertly cleaned his metal spectacle
by rubbing it in his pocket and allowed
it to fall to the floor Of the car as he got out.
Lawton picked 1t up and handed it to him.
Thanks" said Pop as he took it by the edges.
Twenty minutes later he was in the Bureau
Of Identification handing the handkerchief
wrapped case to a gray-haired man and say
ing: There ought to be some swell prints on
that, Joe. The man who made them was
sweating. Rush them through, will you and
see If we ever had him. He waited until two
pictures and q typewriter slip were laid be-
fore him.
"A two-timer, huh?" said Pop as he exam-
ined Lawton's picture and record. II thought
that bird knew his way around. Thanks, joe"
He phoned the station house and directed
that uniformed man be stationed in front Of
the house where Peterson's body had been
found. Take him of at dark" he added
Then he went into the report room where he
found Detective Sullivan industriously trying
to keep awake.
Listen, Sully." said Pop. How're you and
Edwards making out on that Hillman job?"
SULLIVAN stopped yaWnlng ana aSkeu WuatS

Pop said: NO. but maybe can help a little.

THE only way you can get anything out Of

of her. She knows something, but she isn't
talking. Sandy just q meal ticket to her
and they probably cut her in for piece Of his

Sullivan caused her to say. THE answers no."
Sullivan said: Shut up before bat you one

wants to ask you few questions"
Pop said: ut won't take but few minutes,

of his business. But if you'll keep this other

"from trying to put that Hillman job in my
lap I'll take look at him for you. But the
chances are never seen him." she added.
At the morgue the attendants drew the COW
ing Goldie. Her eyes f1ickered. But she shook
her head. Nope, never saw him before" she
said. Lets get out of here"

head jerked. did you look?" she asked.

would have little money"
HE didn't" said Pop. His name was Peter

Pop sighed. II don't know" he answered.
maybe his name wasn't Peterson. That's just
what fellow told me. Maybe he was wrong.
Looked like he might be. Funny fellow. Had
the ugliest mouth ever saw"
Gode said "What?"
This fellow" explained Pop. "Said his
name was Lawton. He found Peterson's body.
Maybe he took the money-if Peterson had
any. Do you know him-Lawton? Was he
friend of Sandys?"
Goldie'S mouth twisted. Listen" she said.
"What is all this? I don't know thing about
Lawton or Peterson or Sandy, either. And you
can both" She turned and walked of.
what now?" asked Sullivan, who, q rarity
for him, had previously kept quiet. "Well"
answered Pop, "here's what I was figuring"
He went on. When he had finished Sullivan
said: 1T might be, Pop. It might be. Well
get Edwards in on it. Three are better than
two"
"Sure" said Pop. "And one thing more.

Pop said, All right, I'll 60. What's the

Pop didn't have to go, he knew that. It
wasn't the work Of detective who was old
and tired and whose feet hurt as his did Still,
1t was something to do. something to help him
make show of activity. And that was needed
by man over the retirement age man who
was living and serving beyond his time and
kept on the force only by the friendships he
had made in nearly so years of service

bell. Pop said, I'm Detective Hanson. Is this

waiting for you. He's upstairs"
In the room Pop looked at the body "Who
Is he?' he asked. Fellow named Peterson"
Lawton answered
Friend of yours?" asked Pop. "welI, not
exactly" replied Lawton. II knew him. He's
had some tough luck recently. He touched me
for SO while ago and said he would pay it

His ugly mouth slid loosely into grimace
Pop, asking other questions, was going
through the dresser drawers when the bell
rang, heralding ambulance surgeon, then

BRANDS COMMUNISM AS
CHRISTIANITY'S FOE

BY E. F. Maddox.
Frank Cummings letter is a good
example of the workings Of the
Communists mind.
His atheistic, anti-religious let
ter ought to awake some Of our
drowsy ministers to the fact that
Communism is the deadly enemy Of
Christianity, ard that its pacifism
and pretended love for Christ's
teachings is nothing more or less
than hypocritical propaganda. The
reason Communists pretend to be
religious is because they know from
experience that the American peo-
pie will not subscribe to atheistic
doctrines.
Mr.. Cummings complains because
the Bible is full of war and MUIR
der. But if he will Investigate
closely he will find that most of the
war was waged against Gods enc
mics, of which he seems to be one.
Here is verse from the Bible
which Communists and those ma
tons which have acEommunist

struction Of a sewage disposal plant at NIichi-
gan City. And. in the meantime. a beautiful

Those charges are contained in the second
Of a series OF water source poisoning stories
which appears in The Times today.
A referendum vote. The Times correspond
ent SAYS, was so small that the final plan TO
obtain money for construction Of the disposal
plant in Michigan City was lost.
That is an indictment not only against the
politicians Of Michigan City but also against
the men and women who have the power TO
cast ballots but refuse 10 DO so either because
Of indifference or some minor personal feeling.
Those things have happened in the past.

city in the state where there is danger of pol
luted water sources ravaging homes and bust

form of government might we'll con-
slider:
IF I whet my glittering sword and
mine hand take hold on judgment;
I will render vengeance to mine
enemies, and will reward them that
hate me-" Deut. 32-41.
Another thing Communists will
find out some day is that pacifistic
propaganda has not had any great
effect on the American people. To
the Communist cry of peace, peace"
the Bible says, There is no peace
for the wicked"
History and the Bible agree that
God has prospered the people and
nations who believe in Him and has
destroyed those who denied Him,
and I am fully persuaded that Rus
STA is soon to feel the wrath of
God for her terrible crimes against
humanity and her denial of Gods
existence.
There is no use to argue or de-
bate with an infdel in defense Of
the Bible, for the Bible can defend
itself, and no unbeHever has ever
proved that its prophecies are not
true. The burden of proof rests
with those who attack its anthem
ITCHY.
The Bible pronounces a curse and
destruction on the enemies of God,
and if the present Communistic
government of Russia is destroyed
we must accept that as proof of
His power.

PLENTY OF WHISKY, BUT

VXTHEN we advocate lower-priced legal
w liquor, we do not do so in the belief
that cheap whisky is boon to society.
There is cheap whisky aplenty in this land
of repeal but it is the bootleggers who are
selling it. You can get all of it you want, so
we are told, any hour of the day, any day of
the week
Six months have elapsed since the end of
prohibition brought the promise of an end of
those crimes that rested on the profits of boot
Logging We thought then, and still think, it
was a mistake to increase the S110 a gallon
federal tax and that the IS a gallon tariff
should have been abolished, so that legal
liquor dealers could obtain an adequate sup
ply of mature liquor.
Six months ago, United States treasury ex-
perts estimated that with 50 a gallon tax,
which was enacted, America would consume
1O5OO0OOO gallons of liquor in a year. But
treasury figures now reveal that actually taxed
liquor is being consumed at the rate of only
34OOOOOO gallons year. In the face OF these
figures liquor experts in the government and
persons engaged in the legal liquor industry
are led to conclude that for every gallon of
NA-NNN'A~N
liquor are being consumed.
Thus by our high tariffs and taxes-it
should be remembered that state taxes have
been piled on top the federal taX-we have
made it easy for the bootlegger to undersel
his law-abiding competitors.
Even without any taxes, the legal liquor in
dustry would have had hard time competing
with entrenched bootleggers. Bootleg syn
dictates had then. and still have, ample
finances and supplies, dependable production,
large and experienced sales organizations, and
legions of habitual customers. Bootlegging
was and still is going concern. The infant
legal industry has had to build from the
ground while carrying the tax load
Since congress will not be in session again
until January this discussion at this time may
seem academic. But these facts were known
before congress adjourned The last congress
did not act because there was no strong public
demand for action. And the next congress
will not act unless public sentiment crystallizes.

MEXICO'S NEW PRESIDENT

NEEXICO'S new president. General Larzaro
AVA Cardenas, will take office under auspices
more favorable than most of the republics
executives in the recent troubled years.
He is only 80, a protege of the popular
General Plutarco Gales, a Mexican of pure
Indian stock and, Judging from his overwhelm-
ing ma jority leader trusted by the masses
The new president will hold office for six
years and happily he has chart to guide
his policies throughout his term. The Mexican
government, under the retiring President Abe
lardo Rodriguez. has adopted a six-year-plan.
This plan is something like our own New Deal,
a declaration of principles rather than de-
tailed print. 1t covers mining, OIL forest,
hydro-electric and water uses; production con-
troll and consumer co-operatives; public works,
revenues. defense; educational, moral and
health reforms. 1t was drawn up by the ma
tional Revolutionary party under the super
vision Of General Gales.
AS we wish the new president success IN
carrying out the projected reforms south OF
the Rio we shall be struggling ourselves to
evolve some sort of national plan. Both repub-
lies are aiming at a common goal, the freeing OF
the masses from want and insecurity through
the orderly use of natural wealth.
