something big, something that we're overlooking"
 He paced the floor in silence his feet pounding rhythmically upon the rug.
 Blocker ventured suggestion.
 Do you suppose" he asked that it's something about the girls connection with Cathay"
 Griff said slowly, "It's something bigger than that, something that's staring us right in the face. It's not an inanimate clew. It's big vital clew-something that's a new angle of the case.
 obviously, the connection of this girl has something to do with it Obviously the impersonation o1 Cathay by this so-called pickpocK- ct has something to do with it. Ob- viously, the connection between Kenneth Boone and this girl has something to do with it. Those are things that we know about. We haven't run them down yet, but we know about them. But this is some thing bigger; something that's a new angle of the case; something that's right under our noses and yet we haven't seen it."
 He fell to pacing the floor again
 The telephone rang.
 Griff scowled impatiently, hes itated a moment then picked up the receiver, listened for moment and nodded to Blocker.
 Your newspaper he said, "call ing you. They say it's important"
 II told them not to call this number unless it was connected with the case and very important" Blocker said by way of explana- tion.
 He took the telephone, listened for nearly half minute, then asked "Did you get anything else ?'
 The receiver made metallic noises and Blocker grunted a reply and hung up.
 Well" Blocker said, staring steadily at Sidney Griff there's one you can play with. Cathay com mitted suicide"
 Did what?" Griff demanded.
 "Comrnitted suicide. They've held up making any announcement un- til they could get a complete an- alysis of the vital organs. There was enough poison in them to have accounted for his death a dozen times over. Moreover, from the na- ture and quantity of the poison taken. the doctors are unanimous in deciding that the poison must have ben taken voluntarily. In other words, it wasn't something that could have been given him in his food or administered to him with out his knowledge"
 Griff shook his head slowly.
 "No." he said. "Cathay didn't commit suicide. He couldn't have. It doesn't check in with the facts as we know them"
 Bleeker'a tone was impatient.
 But" he said, "the physicians are positive upon that point. It couldn't have ben a case of acci- dental death by poisoning, or of poisoning that was administered in food"
 Griff's gesture of dismissal was that characteristic fiinging of his hands, and was made with the greatest impatience.
 "All of these so-called clews," he said aren't clews at all. The only

Uni versity of Colorado, in a brilliant address recently, pleaded for a broader culture on the part of all students who expect later to spe- cialize and for continual efforts by every specialist to keep a broad view of other related fields. Some universities, he pointed out, now give a Doctors Degree to students who cannot even read French and German. The seriousness of this lies in the fact that such men can not keep abreast of important foreign discoveries in their own subjects.

Ina YOU CAN'T AFFORD MORE SUITS REMEMBER THAT ---- BlOuSeS Provide Variety For Limited Wardrobe
By MARIAN YOUNG

(NEA Service Stan Correspondcnt) NEW YORK.-The little ex- lN tras make a wardrobe in- teresting, not only to the wearer but to people who see the wearer every day. Any smart woman knows that three-possibly four-really good ensembles are adequate and certainly a good deal bet ter than a greater number of mediocre outfits. However, the fact remains that no mat ter how stunning the three costumes may be, without 8 touch of variation now and then, they become tiresorne.
 Take a suit, for example. A good one makes the average woman look pretty handsome. Yet. if, mont halter month, she keeps on wearing the same blouses and accessories with it, the chances are she'll get tired of the thiffg, aside from the fact that her friends will see it in a less glamorous light.
 Obviously, then the blouse sit- uation is an extremely important one. And couturiers, realizing it, continue to give us shirtwaist ere ations that make a girl want to continue to wear her suit. If she hasn't one, the temptation to get a plai nskirt is too strong to re- sist. .p,s
 For instance, who would want to pass up the fiattering blouse we show in the center? Made of gleaming white satin with gold and silver stripes woven into the fabric, this is dressy enough for an important luncheon, bridge party or tea. Silver threads are stitched around the bands of the short sleeves and across the tips of the pert wing collar.

facts that count are the animate facts-the facts having to do with motive, with opportunity. with the conflict of characters. The things that you find picked upon so often in. detective stories as clews aren't clews at all. They are circum- stances and circumstances can be interpreted in almost any light you wan tt ointetrpret them. Take, for instance, the case of statistics. You frequently hear people taking op-- posite sides of an argument and bolstering their case with the same set of statistics"
 "But if Cathay knew he was about to b. disgraced," objected Blocker, eff he didn't know that his wife and his lawyer could call off the newspaper, what more req sonable than to suppose he'd be- come Respondent and end his own life?"
 "I tell Nou," Griff said slowly, "Cathay didn't commit suicide. He wasn't in a position where he had to commit suicide. He had no req son for committing suicide. More over. the method wasn't one he would have adopted had he been committing suicide. He ."
 Griff broke off in the middle of his sentence, staring at Blocker with wide, unseeing eyes.
 By heaven!" he said after a moment.
 "What?" asked Blocker.
 ''That big fact that's been star ing us in the fact all this time" the criminologist said slowly. Tt just crashed home to me. It's so weird, so utterly bizarre that it's abso- lutely incredible, and yet it's so logical that it must be the keynote of the case. That's the thing that Morden blundered into-the thing that made his death inevitable"
 Griff whirled and started pacing the room once more.
 Well" Blocker said irritably, "what is it?"
 You remember" Griff told him. that on the night when =" Abruptly he broke off, narrowed his eyes and shook his head slow ly. "No," he said, we're dealing with a clever mind. It won't do to even think about it, much less talk about it, until we've got definite proof" <
 Blocker drowned irritably, then became dignified and distant.
 After all," he pointed out, II have retained you and I'm entitled to the benefit of your investiga- tion."
 you'll get it." Griff said, his manner preoccupied, when the time comes. Good heaves, we've just been running around in circles We've overlooked the logical start ing point-both of us.
 Blocker spoke with nervous ra- pidity. "We are trying" he said, ''to locate the young woman who gave the name of Marry Briggs. We have made some search
 Griff interrupted, i've got live lead on her. I'll have her located soon. She wasn't the logical start ing point"
 T thought she was the key wit ness in the case" Blocker re- marked.
 Griff stood staring at him thoughtfully.
 ''The key witness in the case" he said, "when we can find her, if we can find her while she is still alive-is going to be Mrs Blanche Malone"

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
.NBy Alicia Hart
0i05sss NEA sERVEE iNe:

Masks are particularly good for oily skins. The right ones -meticulously applied - remove residue from clogged pores, stim- ulate sluggish circulation and serve to clarify a complexion that seems slightly muddy.
 There are dozens of commer cially prepared masks on the mar ket today. Your favorite beauty counter undoubtedly can supply you and tell you exactly how that particular type must be used to get the best results. However, for women who try to keep their beauty budgets as low as possible, homemade masks are indeed a blessing.
 Try an egg mask treatment once a week for couple of months and see if your skin does- mt look better. Put the yolk of an egg in a bowl and beat it light ly with a fork. Do the same with the white. Then after clean ing face and neck, smooths some of the white on face and throat. Let it dry and then apply a layer of yolk. When it has dried, cover it with a coat of the white. Re- peat in layers until the entire egg has been used. Lie down for twenty minutes or until the mask is quite hard. Rinse 1t off with lukewarm water.
 If your skin is dry, pat on nourishing cream after the mask has been removed. If it's oily, apply skin tonic or a mild astrin- gent and go to bed.

THE HORROR IN THE NIGHT

A mincing young lady, to judge by her letter, wishes to be told how to overcome being annoyed and irritated by the following noises: snoring, lipsmacking, shrill or loud voices, stamping of hard heels, loud breathing, spit ting and snoring. Oddly enough she seems to have no great obses- sion against clearing the throat, sniffing, whistling, humming, tap ping on the table or the arm or chair, tapping with foot on floor, scuffing heels on the floor. in fact, she is a remarkably tolerant per- son - for crank.
 A woman who snores most of the night, with periodic startling ces- sations, followed by cadenzas and staccato effects and false starts and deep groans, somstimes hap pens to wake and catch her hus- band peacefully snoring. She just can't endure it, and makes the man wake up and turn over anu keep perfectly quiet until she IS off again. Now if he were as tenn peramental about it as she IS, either he would be raving luna tic or she would be deceased by now.
 What is it about snoring that so |annoys some persons2 It is sugges- ton, and association. They near che dreadful commotion and tc them it sounds for all the world like something most repulsive |. indeed more than one wife has sep arated from her husband because his snoring killed her love.
 don't suppose there is any sense in this. but hope it doesn't betray my lack of taste and my boorish origin when I say that if one re- gards snoring philosophically or in scientific light, it loses most of it's power to annoy or disturb ones peace of mind or prevent one from sleeping. Each snore has it's own special character, you know. It is amusing to lie there and classify it as to pitch, rhythm, timber and all that sort of thing. Before you know it you'll be for getting to notice. You drop off ana n3dE tAS lOLAOA AAO AAAOAN ,1s- haps when you awake next morn ing.
 Some varieties of snoring are stopped by the proper treatment of the simple chronic or hypertro- phic rhinitis or by diathermy treat ment of the hypertrophic tonsils' Other varieties call for resumption of a fair degree of physical actlvi- tv O rtarining to take out the slack. the flabbiness of the tissues. In still other cases the condition IS a clear indication for a good re- auction regimen. Not freak diet ing or doping burn off fat anu mpair health. but a rational regi- men which will improve the gen eral health and well being certainly and reduce or help reduce ln- cidentally.
 In the records or more than 2.O0O cases where patients (of var ious physicians) have reduced from eight to forty or more pounds on such a regimen, there are ire. ouent reports of the cessation of snoring as one of the happy py' effects noticed by the patients or their friendsb.

FernapS, suggested Dan Bleek- CT, Mrs Malone is merely a friend, of the family with whom Mrs Cathay desires to communi- cate''.
 Griff's tone was filled with doubt, Perhaps he said.
 There was an interval of silence Then the telephone rang. Griff scooped up the receiver, listened for a moment, nodded to Bleker. For you he said.
 Blocker listened while the re- ceiver made succession of rasp- ing noises, then looked up at Griff and nodded. He said, "A check-up on the Summerville end shows that Robert Chelton did just what you said he would do, or rather what you said he had done"
 Griff waved his hands in a ges- ture of dismissal
 Should I give them any further Instructions? asked Blocker.
 No" Griff said, tell them to drop it. It's unimportant now"
 Blocker relayed the instructions over the wire, hung up the tele- phone, then frowned thoughtfullJ at the criminologist.
 It seems to me-" he said, "that 1t0 q AhAllSE OL LldJOT lIlpOTIduCe. If what you say is true, this man Chelton must be an accessory. Ob- viously some man figured in the murder particularly in connection with moving the body. If Esther Ordway and Alice Lorton are one and the same person, and this man writes a letter in which he refers to them both, he must have done so for a very definite purpose. That purpose was to baffle the investi- gating authorities. Therefore, it would seem to me ."
 Griff's tone was flat, cold and final
 its unimportant," he repeated, and his eyes were starring in pre- occupied concentration at a spot on the carpet as he spoke.
 Rleeker frowned impatiently. You're a criminologist," he said. Ira a newspaper man. I've solved few mysteries myself. I say it isn't unimportant."
 Griff stood facing the newspaper man, his eyes slitted in concentra- ton, his face preoccupied. But his tone was as crisply effective as the nervously explosive words of the Newspaper publisher.
 Its unimportant," he said, "be- cause I know all about that angle of the case. Robert Chelton is the same person as Kenneth Boone. Kenneth Boone has been located. Alice Lorton ,alias Esther Ordway, is with him. They're under sur veillance right now"

 Bleeker's expression was one of eager enthusiasm.
 .You've anticipated all of this?" he said. You've uncovered all of this information
 Griff nodded.
 "Good heavens! How did you do it?" Blocker asked.
 sI did it," Griff said slowly, "by doing what I told you to do and what I knew you wouldn't do putting a shadow on the Elite Apartment house to check up who came in and who went out.''
 He whirled abruptly, started pacing the floor.
 But I didn't think" Blocker said. that .'

 Paris (UP)-Instead of saying "Ho Hum" with a yawn, peopie over here are saying "Oh, Heim. with the greatest of enthusiasm.
 Helm, it is, who has created so many interesting fashions for this winter-odd things that very few people can actually wear but which are marvellous headlines and then a whole gamut or the most practical and cleverly con- cocted costumes you ever saw.
 His is that cunning little ermine huff made like a drum and the hat to accompany, made toque shape with a little halo of ermine encircling the head. His is also that huge pillow huff made of two full silver FOX slsins-tails hanging down one side and heads down the other. It goes with black en- semble furless as to collar and cuffs, so as not to overdo the fox business.
 The Helm headlines which everyone talks about but few wear include his broach made like a gilded birdcage with the bird painted on q mirrow background; his scenic plaque. also pointed on d large rectangular slab of mirror, and finally, his mirror heart engrav ed with a bird and fiower--the Quintessential of romance, hearts, flowers and music!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


 Is it dangerous to apply anything to the armpits to stop the annoy ing sweating there?. (Mrs L. M. E.) Answer No. But some agents used for the purpose are too irri. tating. A solution of one-half uonce of aluminium chloride in two or three ounces of water is satis- factory. Mop some on the armpit and let dry. then another coat. and let dry. finally light applica- ton of fresh clean cold cream. Such treatment repeated once in two or three weeks controls the trouble in many cases.

Board To Probe
Terrorism, Acts

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sep. 81. W.P)-
A special board of American and
japanese farmers opened an inves
tigation today into recent acts OF
terrorism against Orientals in the
Salt River valley.
The board was appointed by Gov
B. B. Moeur who said it would seek
solution to the bitter controversy
between American rancherS and al
legged aliens who are accused of op-
Grating farms in violation of state
anti-alien laws.
I'VE are going to get to the bot
tom of this if possible" the COVER
nor said. Il am helpless to cope
with the situation officially unless
developments justify placing the
area under martial law. But I don't
believe that will be necessary"
Several japanese farms have been
bombed by band of night riders
in the past few days. Officials of the
Anti-Alien association attributed
the violence to radical groups of
white farmers, impatient" at court
delays. The association is seeking
the court expulsion of numerous Or
ientals, accused of illegally operat-
ing farms.
