He looked up at the three men

they stop asking questions" he de-
manded bitterly. "and do some
thing7 Letting people be murdered

he went on. his voice catching so
that the words were choked. Il

Bannister said, Mr.. HOLSTER,
when We had that talk the other
day you told me you we're afraid
your sister was worrying about
something. You said you thought
she might know something about
the Tracy King murder"
IIOLLISTER raised his eyes. but

But you must have some idea
VINO could have done such a thing?
You must have some theory?"
HOLSTER shook his head. mo,
he said, Il haven't. The police
have the theories. All 1 know is
AIelvina's gone. I'm all alone. II
hope you'll excuse me now"
They left him alone. AS the door
closed behind them Gainey said,
Poor old duffer!" and Fleming
added, He sure is all broken up"
McNeal was not in the living
room but another detective was
there. Bannister asked if they could
see the body and the detective
nodded. motioning toward door at
the right.
The reporters entered the bed
room. They saw the bulky outlines
of a figure on the bed, covered by
a sheet. Bannister lifted a corner
of the sheet, then dropped it. In
life Melvina HOLSTER had been
formidable. She was not formi-
dable now.
There's no reason for us TO stay
here any longer. is there?" Bannis-
ter asked gruffly.
Gainey said he wanted to see Nc
Neal again and Bannister told him
he would wait for him downstairs.
He used the stairs instead of the
elevator this time and turned into
the small parlor where he and the
others had waited for McNeal. Then
he set himself to reviewing every
thing he knew about Melvina and
Matthew HOLSTER.
But the mind sometimes plays
strange tricks. Bannister, trying to
remember Just what AIelvina had
said on the only occasion he had
talked to her, was halted by Curl
GUS thought. He saw Juliet France

Wife Was Fat
No Longer Attractive
LOST HUSBANDS LOVE

The above headlines appeared in a
New York newspaper in connection
with a divorce trial. "She was a
beautiful woman" one witness testi-
fled, "but she got fat and is not at
tractive any more"
Thousands of women are getting
fat and losing their appeal just be-
cause they do not know what to do.
Why not do what thousands of wo-
men have done to get rid of pounds
of unwanted fat? Take one half tea
spoon of Kruschen Salts in a glass of
hot water every morning before
breakfast and keep it up for 80 days.
Then weigh yourself and see how
many pounds you have lost.
Kruschen Salts are a blend of
mineral salts most helpful to body
health. Best of all, bottle of Krus-
chen Salts that will last you for 4
weeks costs but trifle. Ask w. H.
Clarke & Co., or any druggist for a
bottle and start to lose fat today.
It's the SAFE way to reduce but
be sure you get Kruschen-your
health comes first and remember this
if you are not joyfully satisfied with
results--money back.

A statewide survey of the high

taken by the Engineering Depart
ment of the Keystone Automobile
Club of Maryland, to determine the
immediate and future needs for wild

This announcement is made in the
May issue of Keystone Motorist, Off
cial publication of the Club. 1t is
emphasized that the investigation is
Independent Of and along different
lines from any other study of high
ways under way or in prospect. It's
sole purpose is "fact-finding and not
fault-finding," the announcement
states Publication of the results of
the survey will begin shortly.
According to the Club statement
this is the first time in the history
of Maryland that any civic organiza-
ton has undertaken comprehensive
study Of the highway system.
eve propose" the announcement
continues, ito place before the peo-
pie of Maryland the true picture of
the States highway needs. The rec
concentrations will be based on en-
cheering data obtained by actual in
vestigation of the roads.
civilian S. Canning, the Clubs
Engineering Director, is in charge of
the survey. He is we'll qualified for
the task by reason of his extensive
experience in highway planning and
construction, coupled with a keen
knowledge of and interest in the sci
ence of traffic engineering. The study
he is directing will embrace not only
physical construction of the States
roads, but the factors needed to make
them safe for modern travel.
Maryland is ACKNOWLEDGED to have
been leader in the good roads move
ment. In early days of the motor car
it foresaw the need for adequate
highways and assumed leadership in
providing roads to meet the require
ments. Hard surfaced roads were
built to the limit of the resources
from motor fees, gasoline tax and
bond issues. The object was to i'm
prove as many roads as possible with
the funds available, and in conse-
quence the lines of old highways, or
iginally Indian trails, were followed
by the road builders.

NEW CHURCH BANK
ENTERED BY BURGLARS

An unsuccessful attempt to rob the
New Church, Va, bank was made at
3 o'clock Sunday morning of last week
by Olden Vessels, Is, Bering Thorn
ton, % and Nolan Thornton, Is, all
of Mears, who were captured and were
in Jail before night. Nolan Thornton
was arrested at his brothers home at
Mackenzie Park by Sheriff E. P. Parks,
Deputy Sheriffs Frank Hodge and R.
G. Finney and Detective Warner T.
Davis. He is reported to have con-
fessed, giving details of the attempt.
Olden Vessels and Berling Thorn
ton were arrested late Sunday af-
ternoon by Norfolk police as they
landed at Little Creek from the ferry.
They have since been brought to Ac-
comac and placed in Jail.
According to the story told by
Nolan Thornton, the other two were
the ones who broke into the bank,
having left him with their automobile
to patch tire, about 1875 yards north
of the store of j. +. White on the
west side Of the state highway with
the automobile pointed south. This
statement is borne out by Mrs. John
Marshall, who lives nearby. She saw
one man leave the bank when the
burglar alarm sounded and heard an
other running.
Entrance to the bank was obtain
ed by breaking the iron grating in
a back window and forcing the lock
on the window. The interior of the
bank was ransacked. When they
struck the burglar alarm they left
the bank and ran for their car. I'm
able to start it, they removed the Ii
cense plates and ran across the field

some distance down the railroad track.
About 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon

Little Creek ferry and were later
picked up by Norfolk police.

KRAMER'S BURLESQUE
WEEKS GAYETY SHOW
"Hot Shots" Proves One of the
Best Attractions of Season
on Ninth Street.

Following George Broadhurst' and
Ann Corio is difficult job for any
body's burlesque show, but Leonard
Kramer's 'Hhot Shots" which opened
at the Gayety yesterday. comes through
with flying colors. Hot Shots" pro-
vides plenty Of comedy to give the Gus
toners aching sides and plenty of
feminine beauty to Soothe their eyes.
Kramer leads the clowning, playing
admirable straight man to his partner
Billy Fosters boiSterouS idiocieS and
providing much hilarity on his own.
Kramer's Greek is a grand comedy
character, and together they are
smoothly working team. Johnny cI'n
Kill Emu Barry, outrageously be-
draggled, and Lew Lewis also offer
much boisteroUIs buffoonery. The Grey
brothers, Eddie and Sid, in their duo
dance act are well liked by the custo-
mers in each of their too few appear
ances. The male singing lead is taken
by tenor Harry Allen
Hot Shots" also presents four hand
some damselS who possess collectively
more personal beauty than any pre-
viouS show this season. The No. l
girl is Billie Diamond, tall brunette,
who proves speciality artist can have
a fine, fresh voice. She'll never make
grand opera, but neither will her voice
make you writhe in your seat, as do
the vocal efforts Of some burleSque
prima donnas. Other beauteous ones
are platinum-haired Patsy johnson,
amply constructed. but well-nigh gor-
geous; Cell Won Dell, auburn-treSsed
soubrette, who looks a bit like the
screen star Myrna 10y, and hard
working Evelyn Brooks, who is seen
in most Of the comedy scenes. Tiny
Delmar also rates a hand for the way
she steps from the chorus to play
bride to Kramer's Greek bridegroom
Scenically, Hot Shots" is about the
best frankie Bryant has staged this
year. It's a much better than average
burlesque show all the way through.
