THE Communists Corpse"
Erika used to be a Communist
herself. That is she was a Com
munist when the book opened
But then she got involved in a
murder and she told the Com
munists to go hang.
It seems that chasing murder
ers and kidding cops is a lot more
fun than writing red speeches
and calling everyone "comrade."
Anyway Erika hardly gets out
of the party and really interested
in one murder when another foul
deed is accomplished by the fiend
at large. Since its all done with
knives, Erika finds it pretty
messy and starts right In to
straighten things up.
AS you imagined Erika is quite
a gal and she proves it to all
concerned, most aptly to the po'
lice who thought Erika was quite
a gal all along and had sorta
hoped they could prove :. to a
judge and maybe put Erika be
hind some nice steel bars.
You'll like Erika and the story
won't give you the creepS-much,

And his little family living in the
stern where the guiding pole was,
had all they could eat and wear.
Charles was about 18 when his
uncle died. They had no chill
dren and his aunt couldn't carry
on the work of hauling cargo
alone so they sold their boat and
opened a bakery at Great Falls,
Md. Mrs. Stewart, besides being
an excellent cook was well liked
by the "boaters" and they bought
all the bread, pies and cakes she
could bake. Nobody, they said
could make gingerbread like hers.
RecOIIectiOnS
Seated in an ancient wooden
chair beside a rough hand-hewn
table, Charles, now a frail bent
little man of 10, pulled at his pipe
as he recalled those days:
"My aunt lived to be 81. But
she always worked hard-even
to the day she died. Why, she
would mix enough dough at one
setting for 80 lOaves Of bread.
And she'd bake $50 lOaveS in a
day besides pies and ginger
bread. And by nightfall it
would all be sold"
eve supplied all the families
on the boats. We'd bake all
night and in the morning they
would be there to buy as soon as
we opened up. The bread was
baked in a large outside oven.
I'd watch it while my aunt made
the pies. Then when it was done
I'd watch the pies while she
mixed the gingerbread. 1t was
hot work. We only baked in
summer because the canal was
frozen over in winter"
1--WE don't have winters like
they had then. 1 can remember
when the canal would be frozen
OveEA.frOm November to March,
with perhaps three weeks of
mild weather when the ice would
float around. But usually it was
frozen solid. People would drive
down from Cumberland in
sIeighS and when the ice melted
into cakes you could still see
the marks from the runners"
He puffed slowly:

there was the slightest hope OF 1t.
Hence the administrations objective

CORONER SEEKS

IN FOOD DEATH
State Officials Still Waiting
for Chemists Report
on Analysis.

Coroner William R. Arbuckle to-
day opened his investigation into
the death of David Roach, 61-year-
old FERA worker, while state Off
Gals awaited analysis of the food
which poisoned $50 homeless men
last Thursday.
Although an autopsy showed that
Mr.. Roach, one of the $50 food VIC
tins, all residents of the Federal
Transient Shelter, 227 N. West-st,
died Of pneumonia, Dr. Arbuckle be-
lieves that food poisoning was a
contributing cause.
DR.. George w. Bowman, medical
advisor to the Governors Unemploy-
ment Relief Commission, said today
that his investigation is at a stand
still because reports of DR.. H. N.
Harger, state Psychologist, and DR..
M. G. Dack, University of Chicago
bacteriologist, on the chemical COM
position of the tainted food had not
yet been made.
DR.. Arbuckle began gathering tes-
timony of relief workers, attending

Meanwhile only two of the 40
FERA workers confined to the hos
pital with poisoning still remain
there. They are John Brown and

reported fair.
