I Donaghy put in prompt appear ance, spick and span in his uniform and bearing himself with a jaunti- ness that may have been designed to nettle the detective. You sent for me, Sergeant? Are there any holes in my alibi?" Harper looked him up and down coolly. That's a matter for Head quarters to check, Donaghy. What want to see you about is some thing entirely different" At your service." Donaghy re- piled airily.
 The detective drowned at the i'm pudent tone. He placed paper and
 pencil before the chauffeur. q want
 you to print the words dictate to you. Print, you understand, not write?"
 Donaghy poised the pencil. "I get
 you" he said. You think I wrote those letters." He chuckled. Not
 me, Sergeant. I always stick to speeches"
 Then there will be no harm in
 making sure." Harper retorted.
 drily. Donaghy went through the
 double test docilely enough, but he evidently considered it as a joke and laughed as he handed over the last paper. As Harper looked them over Donaghy said, "I thought the letter question was all washed up. Didn't the man who was killed write them?"

For Fairer Prices.
(New York World -TelegramO

MIRA, after long study, has evolved uniform price policy to be applied with the consent of the industries to all present and future codes
 At the beginning General Johnson let each industry write it's price provisions to see if they would work
 So many different indirect ice-fxing provisions put into code law, most of them with disastrous results. Many of them merely legalized what n- dustry had been doing all along-to its detri- ment and at the cost of the buying public. Their result was foreseen. Some prices went up too fast, where competition curbed too much.
 Now MIRA has a new policy frankly aimed at restoring price competition preventing coercion of competitors and enabling the seller to fix his price at level which will enable him to sell the largest amount of goods. When drastic action against de- strucive price cutting is called for the Government will act.
 It is major and a very delicate operation that MIRA is attempting. There is no easy cure. But fair prices would enable every to buy more of the worlds goods.

SURGEONS BACK HEALTH
 INSURANCE"

The American College of Surgeons has assumed the leadership in nationwide movement to pro- vide adequate medical service for the whole community" through system of voluntary pre- payment of health insurance The Board of Regents the governing body of the college adopted the report of the Medical Service Board submitted after eight months of study of the question of periodic pre- payments by Americans of moderate means for disqualification and medical care.
 The preamble to the report said it is "an enuncia- ton of principles which plans for voluntary health insurance may be formulated but it is not proposal for any specific plan" This was the colleges first procurement a subject which ing its desire to cooperate with other agencies in the movement the college stated it's belief that the medical profession should take control of all meas ures aimed at setting up voluntary insurance, adding:
 Encouragement should be given to the
 trial of methods of practice designed
 to meet these needs, and careful evaua-
 ton of their success should be the duty of
 the medical profession before they are of
 fered for general adoption.
 It recognized four groups for immediate study for whom it held, more adequate medical service should be made available These were the indgent the uneducated and credulous of the community those financially unable to meet the costs of illness and disqualification. and those living in re- mote districts where adequate medical service is not obtainable.

What makes you think so?" Harper countered.
 .fOh, just plain reasoning, logic, orSwhateyer you want to call it." nONAGHY'S eyes were fastened A> on the detective. Under his ban. tering manner he was eager for in. formation. anxious to draw the de- tective into discussion of the case.
 A virile, handsome face, that of Donaghy, but marred by those dis. contented lines about his mouth. Behind the cocky manner Harper suspected an intelligence of no mean order.
 "Donaghy, do you still maintain that you cannot identify the man who was found in that chair?"
 The chauffeur shook his head. q never saw him before, and that's the truth"
 "Donaghy. you're lying to mel"
 Even this bald challenge failed to ruffle the chauffeur's nonchalance, and Harper took this as bad sign.
 If you know who this man Is and withhold that information. you are guilty of wilfully obstructing justice. And that, Donaghy, in case you don't know it. can be built up into jail sentence"
 The chauffeur shrugged. T can't tell you what don't know," he re- peated.
 Harper perched on the edge of the table and looked keenly down at the stlten face. You're a very cocky lae. but wouldn't let little tempo rdry prosperity go to my head" s"What do you mean?" Donaghy instantly sensed the subtle change lu. Harper's voice. Don't beat afpund the bush. Sergeant. If you've gp, anything to say. say it." i"Don't get nervous. That was only my way of suggesting that it's lit- lla dangerous these days to carry a large amount of cash on your per- | son."
 l sThe dark eyes narrowed. What money?"

 Where is she working now?"
 'I don't know. She never wrote to anybody nor came back to see us. She had an uncle who ran little grocery store somewhere in the city. and that's all ever heard about her family. She did tell me his name once. but I've forgotten, except that 1t wasn't Becker. Ellen wasn't much for talking about her own affairs, al though she had lot of ideas like

Joe about rich people" Whitmore laughed. Maybe she went out and got herself a rich widower."
 A rapping at the door afforded Harper a graceful way of bringing the prolonged interview to an end.
 When the detective opened the door hefound the same brisk young man who had run down the origin of the dead mans disguise so success fully. Whitmore went out and the man from the Central Bureau en. tered, handing over a batch of re- ports from Headquarters. Nothing very important in these. I'm afraid, Sergeant" he commented.
 I'm glad you came up, Harris" Harper replied. q liked the way you handled that Pagliotti matter. TL going to give you another assign ment. a harder one this time."
 Young Harris sat silent and alert while Harper thought over bits of John Whitmore's talk. So there had been a serious quarrel between Pierre Dufresne and his wife in No vember. A quarrel inspired by jeal ousy, real or fancied.
 Whitmore thought that Ellen Becker was prying and sly and that there may have been something be, tween Donaghy and her. On the 18th of that month Ellen had depart ed. somewhat mysteriously. On the 18th had come the first threatening letter.
