THINGS 1 WONDER ABOUT:

If Max Baer's renewed interest in
fighting and making money is not
due to the fact Max and Mary Ellen
are not anticipating the arrival of a
future heavyweight champion this
fall.
If any of the major-league scouts
have heard about a seventeen-year-
old, 19O-pound Highlander named
Joe Rutter who now pitches for Ex-
eter. Folks who have seen him in
action say he has a fast ball al
most as good as the one Bob Feller
seems to have lost.

and stroked his chin; then he
began to toy with the left lapel
Of his coat.
What do you think you're do
ing, Kent?" he asked narrowly.
Kent studied the tips of his fin
gers for a moment; finally, he
said:
offering you a chance to con-
fess, Castlemen!"
With an oath, Castleman
jumped to his feet.
"Of all the damn nonsense I've
ever listened to, this is topS!"
Kent nodded agreement. 1T
sounds like nonsense. But it isn't.
You murdered Everett Kendall
and l know it. I'm giving the Dis
trict Attorney evidence that will
send you to the chair.
You see, Castleman, my right
name isn't Kent. It's kendall
Charles Kendall. Everett was
my brother"
AS Castelman drew in his
breath, it made a harsh, stran-
Cling sound. Something in Kent'S
tone carried conviction. Castle
man took step forward. His
hand slid under his coat and out
again.
Now what do you say?" Castle
man Snarled.
Kent blinked quickly, focused
his gaze on the round black
muzzle of the gun in CaStelman's
hand. Again that funny little
smile fluttered across his face and
was gone.
II say you're going to the chair
for numbering my brother, If it's
my last act on earth"
Castleman's feet tWitched con-
vulsively. For second the hand
that held the gun seemed frozen;
then it made a faint movement
and the roar of the weapon filled
the room.
WELL MARKED GUN
Whipping handkerchief from
his pocket, Castleman wiped the
pistol off carefully. Still holding
it with the handkerchief, he
pressed it against Kent's litelesS
fingers until it was we'll marked
with prints. A few feet from the
sprawled body, he laid it on the
floor.
On his way out, Castleman wiped
the knobs of the doors he closed
behind him.
1o4oo+;,,o Cont N6occ ertered
his office, the District Attorney
looked up eagerly.
Did you find it?"
Moss nodded. 1T was right
where Kent said in his letter to
you it would be. Pretty clever the
way he had that candid camera
concealed in the bookcase. He had
it rugged so he could trip the shut
ter by button under the rug"
What about Castleman?"
1--WE picked him up right away"
Moss said. HE denied everything,
until we showed him those candid
camera pictures of himself with
the gun in his hand. Then he
broke down completely"
Moss shook his head. Funny
thing. He confessed to killing a
man named Everett Kendall, too.
Three years ago."
Kent certainly knew he was go
ing to be killed" the District At
torney murmured.
Looked like he asked for it,"
Moss said. But Castleman was a
fool to have done it. He could have
saved himself a trip to the chair"
"How'S that?"
WELL" Moss shrugged, "the
medical examiner said Kent
couldn't have lived a week. He
was a very sick man."

Kent followed him.
"Wait just a minute" Kent said;
"I've a letter 1 want to mail"
He walked to the box on the cor.
ner. When he returned, the two
men entered the building. Kent
led the way up the dim stairs. He
moved slowly, pausing once OF
twice for breath.
On the third floor, their echo
ing footsteps stopped in front OF a
door with an opaque glass panel.
Kent opened it with a passkey and
switched on a light. AS soon as
Castleman had entered The recep-
ton room, Kent closed the door
carefully behind them.
We'll go into my office" he
said.
The inner office was large and
we'll furnished. Shelves OF law
books occupied an entire wall. A
flood of indirect lighting poured
from bulbs concealed in vide
molding.
Kent drew the shades on the
two windows overlooking the street
and moved a chair directly IN
front of the desk.
"Sit down." he said. Have a
cigar?"
Castleman shook his head:
whats this proposition OF
yours?"
He was a man in his late thlr-
ties. rugged of feature and body,
with eyes the cold blue-green OF
ice. His clothes were well tai,
lored, expensive. An emanation OF
prosperity floated about him.
FUNNY SMILE
Kent waited until he had settled
himself in the chair behind the
desk before replying. Then, with
a funny little smile, he said; :,
IT suppose this seems unusual
to you"
"Oh, I've talked business in
offices at midnight before" Castle
man replied.
st hoped you'd understand,
when I suggested we come up here
to discuss things" Kent nodded
ITS essential chat this whole al
fair be conducted cautiously"
"Well, what's your proposition?
If it's good. why"
Kent interrupted with gesture
of his veined hand. Its right up
your alley"
What it it?"
For a swift moment, that funny
little smile reappeared on Kent's
face. Then he grew deadly serious;
his hands gripped the edge OF the
desk; he leaned forward and fixed
his sunken gaze on the man across
from him.
Its a little matter of-mur-
der" he said softly.
Castleman perked his head for
ward, stared at Kent.
Are you crazy?"
"I'm the saneSt man in this city.
I prevailed on you to come up
here-at this hour-so we could
talk about murder and not be in
terrupted."
Castleman uttered snort,
started to rise; but Kent'S voice
checked him.
You'd better hear me through"
Slowly. Castelmen sank back in
his chair, but his ice-green eyes
didn't move from Kent's face.
ION April Is, 1884" Kent con-
tinued with measured calm, "a
young man named Everett Ken
dali was shot to death in his
home. His murderer has never
been caught"
Beneath the tailored smooth
ness Of his clothes, CaStleman
stifened. But he said nothing.
Just sat there and stared at Kent.
PAY FOR CRIME
However, the man who killed
Everett Kendall won't go unpun-
iShed. I've sworn to make him
pay for his crime, if it takes the
rest of my life" Kent said.

THE FOX AND WOLF HUNT
of RUBENS (1577-1640) shows
us the life Rubens loved to paint.
Only nobility and members of So
ciety were fitting subj jects for his
brush. He was truly master in
the grand style; large pictures,
grandiose subjects, robust ex-
preston distinguish his monu-
mental work. Peter Paul
Rubens was the greatest painter
of the human female body and
flesh that ever lived. Painters
worship his pictures, but the i'm
pressive size and weight of his
women are less popular with the
masses. -. This Dutch painter,
who was also an Ambassador,
first to Spain and then to Eng
land, had an income of 500
day.. His studio was a "paint-
ing factory" 40 or so artists
working under him painting
parts of many of his pictures. He
left 5000 paintings, more in oil
than any other painter. :. Avid
for culture, he had someone read
to him while he painted.

THE WORLD FACES WAR

The second World War seems to be
''just around the corner but hope con-
tinues to keep alive the belief that some
turn of events will prevent another great
struggle.
1t requires very little study of the
situation in Europe and the Far East to
realize that the nations are so lined up
that general hostilities can begin almost
overnight. Tactics pursued by Italy in
the Mediterranean and Japan in China,
coupled with evidence that Germany only
bides her time, demonstrate beyond the
shadow of doubt that these nations are
ready and willing to risk an international
bood-letting in the pursuit of their present
aggressive policies.
Italy, Germany and Japan have been
arming for war for years. Only recently
Great Britain accepted the challenge and
began stupendous program of rearma,
ment, Whether this comes early enough
to prevent or late enough to invite attack
is a debatable question.
Since Japan walked into Manchuria,

What Are Wages?
By HARLEY L. LUTZ
Professor Of Public Finance, Princeton University

power, but that this qualification may
be offset if there are too many who
can do the same kind of work. In the
absence of any particular skill, the
principal factor in determining low
wages at the bottom is the keennesS
of tie competition among the un-
skilled. The employer does not have
to pay any one of them very much
because SO many are competing for
the available Jobs. But he cannot af-
ford to pay any one Of them very
much, because their industrial USE
fitness is limited by their lack Of
skill and training.
1t should be clear now why fiat
wage-fixing will not solve the prob
lem of low wages. It should also be
clear that the only permanent solu-
ton of this problem must be through
appropriate training. Some of those
whose present earning power is low
are capable of substantial improve
ment through training. The effect of
this policy would be an equalization
of industrial rewards. Applied on an
extensive scale, it would mean, not
simply an equalization of ordinary
wages, but an adjustment as between
wages and salaries, for the high SAL
aries now paid to important execu-
tives are due both to the value of
their managerial services and to the
relative scarcity of those with the
qualifications to direct large enter
priSes. -
This reform is an educational task.
The educational system of the coun-
try has toyed with it, but has touched
only the fringe. The federal govern
ment missed great opportunity to
begin its solution, during the depreS-
sion, when it paid the unemployed
to do relatively useless made work
instead of supporting them while
they learned to do something that
would increase permanently the
value of their services to society.
In consequence, we have lost five
years, missed a great opportunity,
SouandereS " lions, and re still have
horde of unskilled persons on our
hands. for whose plight there has
never been a real understanding.
They were fed during the depreS-
sion. and that was right. But in SIM
ply feeding them. they were given
stones for bread, since they could
have been equipped to do better by
themselves at no greater cost than
was paid.
Now the best that can be proposed
for them is a federal wage decree.

and initiative, of the worker, all of
which may be summed up IN the
word efficiency" The second factor
in determining wages is the number
of workers who can do a particular
kind of work. That is, the wages of
any group of workers depend on
their efficiency and on the number
who are capable of doing the things
which this group does.
This principle determines the COM
pensation of all kinds of workers, in
Guiding the most highly specialized
professional men as well as those who
work at a manual trade. Consider
brain surgery, for example 1t is eX-
tremely delicate and difficult, and not
many men are qualified to do it sue
cessfully. They can therefore COM
mand high fees. Suppose there were
half million highly competent brain
surgeons in the United States. The
fee for a brain operation would drop
amazingly.
Let us apply this general principle
to those who are at the bottom OF
the wage scale. Why are they paid
SO little? It is futile to talk about
wage slavery" exploitation" and
the other stock criticisms of an eX-
ploded socialist critique. They have
discovered, in Russia. what we have
long recognized elsewhere. that wage
rates must be differentiated accord
ing to industrial skill and proficiency.
One reason for the low wages at
the bottom of the industrial scale is
the lack of training or skill. and the
other is that there are so many per-
sons in this group. The illustration
of the surgeon reveals that skill or
training tends to increase earning
