cerned with the Youth prob
lem" in the East Madison
district. There are youth
problems in every district, but
our concern is with this par
ticular district because we can
see some of our future citizens
getting off to a bad start. Re-
Gently, a few of our future
citizens got mixed up in some mi
nor criminal activities, and much
as we hated the job, we were
forced to write a piece about this
miniature crime wave. Our pur-
pose was not to show our youth
up as potential criminals but to
awaken our community to the real
ization that something should be
done about our boys and girls. We
have no boy or girl in that or any
other district in any city, so we
can afford to be quite liberal with
our paternal interest. Right now
our interest is in efforts through
which we hope a possible solution
to the East End problem might
be reached. We don't know just
exactly what that problem is but
we can remember that, back in
New York before the formation of
the Police Athletic League, they
had a similar problem and they
called it Juvenile Delinquency. We
suppose this must also be juvenile
delinquency. Back in New York,
six months after the PAL had
been organized, juvenile Delinquent
cy dropped 400.
The other night we had a talk
with Officer Norris about our East
End problem. Officer Norris has
been reading our accounts of the
juvenile crime wave and he thinks
the Incidence of not few parents
is directly responsible for the ac-
tons of our youth out Madison
way. Officer Norris says parents
should show more interest in the
welfare of their children by or
ganizing athletic clubs through
which some of the energies of
our younger people would be dis
sipated. He said no police are
needed out East Madison way be-
cause if the younger people are
caught committing crimes they
will be mugged and finger-printed
and from then on they are spotted
as young criminals with records.
We are going to disagree with
Officer Norris. We think there
should be policeman in the East
Madison district. We think that if
our young people knew there was
a policeman on the beat they would
have respect for the law and some
times that respect might drive a
criminal thought from the mind of
a young person. Then too, we think
a policeman should be in the dis
trict, or any district for that mat
er, not so much to keep an eye
on the younger people, but to pro-
tect tax payers, some of whom
are in business. We are afraid
that unless something is done to
discourage petty larceny and the
like, some of our youth may end
up with a record. Then, in the
event that a big shot criminal
should walk into that section of
he city and pull good sized job,
our youth with the record would
be bounded and third degreed
something awful. From such an
experience he may decide to hate
cops and society, and all because

As to Mrs. Renthorne. She had been the first reach the locked study door Had she come down the front stairs, shot her husband, then hurried back upstairs again, giving Joey his chance to escapeP
 If she did not love Benthorne as much as she wanted Dawson to believe--and he was certain that she did not--was the discovery of Benthornes daughter and the fear of the damage a scandal might do to her social position, and to her pride, sufficient motive for murderp Dawson wondered, Murders were committed for more insignificant reasons.
 Then there was the second shoot ing. If Helen Benthorne had sus- pected Joey knew too much, could she have gone up the back stairs, crossed the hall to the head of the front stairway and shot Joey from therep She had been panting, as If she had been running. Dawson re- called, when they collided on the back steps,
 Painting far more, he realized, now than If she had just run up the few steps from Jamesons quar- ters. But her shortness of breath might be attributed to excitement.
 How about Alston9 There was little love between him and his son -in-l law.

Then up the back steps, Q pause on the landing slow de- scent down the front stairs.
 But there was the problem of Joey again. Aston had taken at least two and possibly three sleep ing pills. And two of those pills would make Rip Van Wrinkle out of any man. The old man had been sound asleep when di Torio was killed.
 It all came back to Douglas, Douglas with @ motive, however old-the staying of his uncle, Big Red" and the theft of the mine. Douglas at the window; Douglas climbing In the window, threatening Benthorne, finally killing him.

 What about the blocked doorp Had Douglas been inside the study while Flynn and Krone tried to break down the door? Dawson stepped to the door again, shouted: "Flynn, bring Douglas in here"
 I'm giving you one last chance to give us your side of the story, Douglas" Dawson announced when the young man faced him. I've been lenient with you--I haven't demanded too many explanations and you've done just as I expected you to do-talked yourself into a jam. Right now there are half Q dozen counts of sound, circumstan- tial evidence against yoti--and that's enough in this state.

 "What about Ara?" Douglas queried, guardedly.
 She's in this as much as you arel" Dawson shot back. "She knows plenty. And don't try any heroics---like lying to save the girl. You may only get her more in volved."
 Douglas studied the detective intently, Perhaps Dawson was right. If he told all he knew now, Ara might be protected. He looked straight into Dawson's cold, pene. trating eyes, smiled, and asked: What do you want to knowq" Were you in this room before or after Benthorne was killed9"

CHAPTER XIX

A feeling of sincere admiration tor this courageous girl swept over Dawson as he watched her leave, She knew that she might soon share Tony's fate, but he was sure she would meet 1t chin up and smiling, For the first time In her life she had found loVe-and now nothing else mattered.
 She was so sure that Douglas was innocent that Dawson thought of searching his case against the youth for possible loopholes. But there were more important things at hand.
 l. would not be difficult to drop a fsw hints that Ara knew as much and possibly more than di Torio. A couple of questions, even a know ing nod. would tell all he wanted the others to know. Flynn and Krone were old hands at creating lust this type of situation. Dawson stepped to the study door and called Flynn. The officer came into the room almost immediately.
 "Flynn. l want the others--MrS Benthoren, Aston and Dougas--to get the idea that Miss Johnson knows the identity of the person who killed Arnold Benthorne, and also that she saw Tony's murderer You and Krone can manage that
 Flynn nodded knowingly, and Dawson continued: Tn the mean tiire release Douglas and permit all of them to go about the house us before But don't, under any conditions. let that girl out of your sight. You will be responsible for her safety. l believe this killer will try to get her out of the way, just as Joey was eliminated. It's your job to see that the attempt--if one Is .nade--does not succeed. Keep your gun handy. Uuderstand?"
 Sure, Captain. But supposlng this girl did the killing herself" Fly m suggested. Then who's going to take shot at her7"
 well have to wait and sec. In the meantime, keep your eyes on the girl"
 Dawson pondered Flynn's sug- gestion, after his assistant had left. Could Ara have been the murderer? How about the others? Methodically, with the precision of a judge, the detective began to mentally weigh the evidence for and against each of the Ave named in Benthorne's note.
 Ara. She had motive--hate. She had admitted she came to the house determined to kill Benthorne and only the untimely arrival of Mrs. Benthorne had prevented her. She might even have had that in. tention as she left the taxicab and returned 10 the passageway. Was 1t she. whom al Torio had seen as he peered around the doorway?
 There was one argument in her favor-time. Dawson recalled Krone's report that he had started running toward the front of the house with the sound of Flynn's whistle, and had not yet reached the front of the house when he heard the shot. It was unlikely that Ara could have turned the corner in the cab, run to the passageway door, and made 1t to Benthorre's gtudy--all in the same space of time that 1t took Krone to run around the house.
 She was definitely in the cab when Flynn blew his whistle. She had to move quickly to make 1t in- side the passageway, as she had said. No, itme was a conclusive witness for Ara's innocence.

Business Good At

A couple of weeks ago Tacoma
saw the opening of the new
Safety building at 22d and Pacific
ave. Today, business is excep-
tionally good at this newest of all
safety stations.
While the building and the mod
ern equipment it contains are new,
the several firms which operate
the various departments are in no
sense new. Some of them have
been in business in this city for
many years all of them were
well esta blished before the new
home they now occupy was even
considered.
The idea Of grouping them
selves all in one building resulted
from the need for one-stop sta

factors Of an automobile might
have skillful attention under one
roof. with the satisfaction OF the
work being guaranteed by one re-
sponsibility

MUNSON BACK
FROM PORTLAND

S. E. Munson, president of the
Munson Motor Co. has just re-
turned from a business trip to
Portland and the several cities in
Southern Washington.
One reason for his trip was the
study of used car conditions both
as TO demand and supply.
Munson stated that he found
most dealers with stocks OF I'M
usually fine used cars, OF later
model and finer condition than is
generally the case.
Speaking of his own used car
stock. Munson said that never in
the long history of his company
has the proportion of really high
grade, late model used cars been
so great as it is at the present
time.
He does not mean by that state
ment that his used car stock is of
greater proportions than in times
past but that more Of the cars he
has are late models with many,
many unused miles OF service
awaiting their new owners.
