Grin completed his statement to Captain Mahoney of the homicide g0uad. s'I admit" he said, "that l cut it a little fine, but l thought that when I told Fisher of the ar- rest of Kenneth Boone and of the kirl who was known both as Es- Cher Ordway and Alice Lorton. l would account for his time for at least an hour"
 ssThen he didn't go to see Mrs Malone at all?" asked Blocker. e 'of course he didn't" Griff said. fsHe wanted to try to get some message through to the girl who was arrested and he wanted to ar range to secure counsel who would get her out on habeas corpus be- fore she could make too many dam aging statements"
 ssThen," Blocker said, Fisher must have been leaving Miss Mockley's room instead of going to 1t when we saw him there in the hotel"
 s'of course" Griff said. Fisher had just drilled her on the story she was to give if she was ques- tioned. Then he saw us coming in. Naturally he wanted to make sure that we were on the trail of the girl and also that he was present when she told her story.
 "And Fisher was really the &C., Homplice of Peter Malone?" Cap tain Mahoney asked.
 "Yes," Griff said. "Peter Malone embezzled more than $25,00 from the Second Security Trust of Fl Paso, Texas. That was more than 20 years before. He ran away and left a wife and daughter. The wife Subsequently, divorced him. She came to this city. In the meantime Peter Malone had gone to River view, taken the name of Frank B. aCthay posed as a business man who had sold out interests in South Africa and therefore had some cash to invest. His accomplice, whom we knew as Fisher, natural ly shared in his resulting prosper ity. The two men became prom inent in Riverview. They had the secret of their past locked safely in their own breasts. Then Mrs Malone happened to make the dis covery that her husband was a Riverview millionaire. Immediately she commenced to participate in his wealth and so did her daughter who had been gong under the name of Alice Lorton. That should have given Fisher a clew, but ap- parently it did not. Mrs Malone had married a man by the name of Lorton after she obtained her divorce from Malone. She, there fore, had no legal claim upon Ma lone's estate. It was question of blackmail, pure and simple. The daughter, however, was in a differ ent position. She had some legiti- mate claim"
 t Then" Mahoney asked, 'the marriage of Cathay was legal?" "Yes," Griff said. Mrs aCthay is really his wife, although she did not know it. She knew enough of his past history to realize that he had probably left a wife. She knew his real name and knew that the wife's first name was Blanche. When aCthay died she moved heaven and earth to try to find Mrs Blanche Malone and make some sort of a deal with her so that the scandal wouldn't come out and so that Mrs Cathay could get at least a substantial part of the estate.,L

HY YOUR CHILDREN

This is the time of year to fix up all the questionable gadgets
 about the house-the loose brack-
 cts, wires with insulation getting
 thin or worn off, suspicious gas pipes, the place where the furnace outlet is too close to the rafters and the asbestos covering has
 come loose. The gasoline and oil
 lamps, if you use them; the This and-That about the place you've intended to fix but haven't got round to yet.
 When real winter sets in the days grow cold, Father William, you won't feel like doing anything after office hours but getting your
 magazine and your pipe and set
 ting down to cozy evenings rest by the fire. So now is the time
 to get busy.
 Let's hope the fire stays where it belongs and that all will be well. Use Care With Oil Lamps This year more people are using oil lamps. we hear. They never
 were too safe, but today they pre-
 sent an entirely new hazard.
 The reason is that our parent sand grandparents knew that such things had to be humored. They were trained in the ways of liquid Illumination and used precaution. We of today are without this guard because electricity has made | us feel safe.
 If oil lamps are used in either
 the city or country house the flrst precaution should be to keep them o1,i aff fo hlarlnthS that can be pulled, and distant from curtains.
 Are the cords of electric lamps thin. twisted or broken? It pays to
 look them over.
 Are the fuses in the fuse-box the right size for your current! The other day the electricians dis covered ours in the wrong place, the powerful ones getting mixed with those of lower amperage. He said it was DANGEROUS and im- mediately put them in their right l places.
 A Shocking Lesson Recently I got a shock, a real one. It was turning off a hanging light with wet hands. It taught me two lessons: never touch elec- trio cOntrivanceS With damp naHus. and have. loose fixtures frightened at once. This one was bad. and l knew it. I paid the price of bad fright.
 Those rubber-hose arrangements on gas stoves. Need l mention them.
 The brick out of the chimney where it runs up through the attic. It really should be replaced. The unprotected fireplace and little flannel nightgowns. Unsafe
 matches. The defective stove. The stove without a pipe and all the windows closed. The smell of gas in the cellar somewhere. The wood fire that throws out sparks. The stove so low to the floor, that
 the wood under it gets tinder-dry. and no metal mat to protect II.
 So many things.
 Father William, the days get short. Please take a look around.
 And while you are at it. that cap
 of inflammable cleaning fluid had
 best be set aside.

ter explain from the beginning. The two men embedded money They became respected citizens in Riverview. Then the bank employ ed Shillingby to investigate Mrs Malone.
 'I shall continue to refer to the real Malone as Cathay, because that is the name under which we knew him. Mrs Malone reported to Cathay that Shillingby was mak- ing an investigation and naturally aCthay thought Shillingby had un- covered the secret of his past and was going to threaten him with eX- posture.
 "Cathay's appearance had, of course, changed in the 20 odd years since he had been guilty of the embezzlement, a fact upon which he decided to capitalize. He talked it over with Fisher and they agreed that Shillingby must be killed be- fore he could capitalize upon his information.
 "In any event, it was agreed that Cathay was to kill Shillingby. In order to do that, however, he want ed first to have an alibi as Cathay. Second to have it appear that Shil- lingby had been killed by a gang ster. Therefore, Cathay, posing as another gangster, employed Shil- lingby to shadow the most danger ous gangster he could think of. He picked upon Cincinnati Red" Lampson.
 "Lampson had a gray Cadillac coupe with a dented left rear fender. Cathay secured duplicate of such a car, kept it stored at a place near Lampson's headquar- ters. When Shillingby had shadow ed Lampson to this neighborhood Cathay drove up to the curb. Shil- lingby, recognizing the man who had employed him, naturally was not suspicious. It gave Cathay an opportunity to shoot him and es- cape"
 And Decker" asked Blocker, "the man who was @ witness?"
 Was an innocent cog in the mur- der machine. Of course, Cathay needed a witness who could testify to the gray Cadillac coupe. So he trailed Shillingby, who was trail ing Lampson, until a pedestrian

perborate to prevent gingivitis . also to cure it. (Gingivitis means inflammation of gums). One heaping teaspoonful in a glassful of very warm water swished in through the teeth II is now five years since I had my teeth scaled and l will never have to- have that done as long as I continue the use of the perborate. I keep some of the solution in my mouth while I am shaving us- ing a fresh mouthful of the warm solution once or twice while shaving, so that the per- borAte is in contact with the tissues ten minutes or more.
 "When prescribing this for my patients always prescribe a pound of sodium perborateN which costs the patient not more than a dollar here. That makes a lot of mouthwash, tooth paste, dentifrice or whatever you prefer to call it. I hope to see more about this prophylactic and remedial use of perborate in your column. Never mind your friends the dentors; they have no more love than the brass specialists have for you anyway"
 May IF. '27, the following wa printed in this column: Y
 Among the remedies which have been found beneficial for trench mouth (Vincent's an- gina) are methylene blue, mercurochorme, arsphenamine
 (injections) and sodium per- borate.
 Sodium perborate is highly praised by Dr (Joseph O Bloodgood. From experience in his clinic he suggests that all dentists, even when sore mouth is not evident, give a
 treatment with sodium per- borate before and after dental treatment.
 For the treatment of trench mouth, make a thick paste of sodium perborate with water and spread this paste over all the teeth and gums with the clean finger. Spread it also
 over any red or ulcerated
 (raw) areas anywhere in the mouth. Hold the paste in the mouth five minutes. It foams as a result of oxidation, much like peroxide of hydrogen. Then rinse the mouth with warm water.
 Do that twice daily and it will sel dom fail to give great benefit an In many cases q cure within week. Where there are lesions ii mouth or throat, other than tn sore gums, solution of the perbo rate of sodium in warm water such as our young colleague de scribes, ,-heaping teaspoonful i glassful of quite warm water should be used in addition to tn paste, as mputhwash or gargl three times a day.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Paris (UP)-A few Paris dress makers have taken ideas from the stratosphere.
 Now just take Schiaparelli, for example. In August she launched her "Stratosphere Blue" and her Parachute" and "Conical" coats Once in these you felt automatical- ly that you should be off like Q rocket somewhere and make all the people you passed stare in amaze ment. Now, however. they are properly toned down so that you are not at all conspicuous.
 Schiaparelli herself says, as to silhouette, "A dominant feminine note emphasized by soft flowing lines, main trends continuing with new Interpretations of parachute and cone effects. These are less sharply defined than In August. The accent is on the face, framing 1t with supple hat brifns, draped scarfs and soft sleeves. The aim is complete sy-metry of line from head to foot and an ultra feminine version of the already established silhouette.'

 YOURSELF

 In addition to keeping her eve ming clothes clean, pressed and ready to wear at moments notice, the busy woman who goes to parties has to do various beau- ty routines regularly. If she leaves everything until the day Of the ball, she'll arrive not only tired, but rather haphazardly groomed.
 For instance, every girl should go to the hairdresser for a sham poo and wave at regular intervals. If Friday is the day you have a bit of free time, then visit your beau ty shop every Friday. If your hair is in fair condition and the operator is good one, you'll look fine at all times. Then, when an unexpected invitation comes your way. you won't have to figure out before you can accept.
 The same applies to the nails. Manicure them yourself or have it done by professional. But be sure to do it on the same day every week.
 Use a depilatory once a week. A tWlSCs that most deodorants are not to be used within 24 hours after shaving or using depilatory.
 You can care for your skin in the same efficient manner. Using a bath brush on back, shoulders and arms each time you bathe is far better than giving them a fren- zied, hurried scrubbing just be- fore putting on a dinner gown.
 Apply body oil or lotion after each bath. It may be a bother but, in the long run, it's easier than trying to soften arms and el- bows with tissue cream while your escort nervously waits for you.
 Keep liquid powder on hand. It is perfect makeup for your back and it won't rub off on the sleeve of your partners dinner coat.
 Put on perfume at least half hour before you're ready to leave. That way. you'll be subtly fra grant, but you won't leave a heavy trail of scent behind you.

 An alert, promising youngster, evidently. Maybe when he's grown up he'll made a bowler who can be safely allowed on the green.
 Now, Doctors and Folks, quiet please, while we make the an- nouncement. Dentors will kindly gnash their teeth in the corridors outside. They may have meeting by themselves to decide what to do about it.

what you want and al about you" He could have applied this thought to boys and girls whose parents think they conceal their real lives from them. They just cannot do 1t and it hurts the children's charac- ter even to try.
 3.-This is the theme of Josephine Lawrence's new novel, Years Are So Long" In this novel the par ents who had sacrificed in this way were handed about from the home of one child to that of ara- other and made to feel they were unwelcome everywhere. The chii- dren even maintained that no one of them could keep both of the parents so they had to be separat- ed in their old age. There ars children like that - far too many for parents not to lay by their own nest egg if 1t is mortally pos sible.

 O. What kind of writing would bring me the most success?
 A. Splendid = you couldn't do better. Go in for adventure. Make simple living characters. Cover a wide path. Do not stint in characters. Write as you would talk, do not try to be literary. Those born under your sign are noted for their imaginations. Good luck.
 o. Would you advise me to acc cept a position as hOusekeeper for a sick couple? They have dia- betes.
 A. Why don't you obtain some reading matter on dietetlcs! lt IS a practical and valuable calling today.

o. When will f ever be able to marry the fellow Pm going with now?
 A. My dear: Young love is beautiful, but young love that will not listen to reason is heart rem dering. You don't suppose your parents have taken this stand to hurt you? It isn't just what l would do were in their place, but at least admit they are doing what they think best. You were born under the sign Of love, with an intense nature that craves atten- tion and sympathy, but here let me add, antagonism is bound to bring out head-strong, reckless and in- discreet characteristics that could work to your undoing. Under stand, my dear. your mother and father are putting forth their best efforts in judgment but strange, though it may seem, were you to be given the lead you would not fail them, but use rare< reasoning power. Were your mother to put her arms around you and tell you she had implicit faith in your ju- diciousness. and was sure you would do nothing about this mar riage until first consulting your father and her, what different attitude you would take. There isn't the least doubt but what you would stand Loyalty by and give the young man to understand your mother and father must be given your first consideration. I don't know the sign he was born un- der, but I do know he should take a manlier part in all his. Mar riage isn't or a day, and causing your parents suffering and worry doesn'tsspeak we'll for his stability. Although you can't put an old head on young shoulders little fore thought and strength on his part would indicate a safe and sound future for you. Surely a girl with your strong commanding nature can live on a few years more With out marriage. If the young man loves you, he will gladly wait and make the most of his opportuni- ties, and in so doing cause your life to be made easier and happier. You could never be happy in poor unrefined surroundings, your taste
