CHAPTER NINETEEN

At the time Brock and Jill had
been making thorough examina-
ton of the Rawlton police depart
ment's rogue's gallery, the man
they sought was perspiring in a
room In downtown hotel, not
two blocks away.
The room was part Of a two
room suite which Rodney Shore
had taken on his arrival in the
city Sunday night with his COM
panion, and where they were regis
tered under name that didn't
remotely suggest his real one.
There was a sitting room with
a let-down bed which folded into
the wall when not in use, and adj
joining was a large bedroom occu-
pied by Shore. There also was a
bath included in the suite, and
Tony, the lawyers companion, had
thoroughly enjoyed this taste of
unaccustomed cosmopolitan luxury.
Meals Served
All meals were served in the
rooms. and Tony had only been
out of the hotel on three occa-
sions.
He was laboring with sharp
edged tool on a steel box, sweat
ing and cursing softly as he work.
ed. Shore was watching, interest
eddy, his eyes cleaning brightly.
At last, with a metallic snap, the
lock gave way and the lid Of the
box flew open.
"okay, I'll take 1t now" Shore
said. and reached over and picked
up the box.
Holy smokel" Tony exclaim-
ed, cycling the heap of bonds as
the lawyer tumbled them out on
table. "A grand apiece, and
there's a mess Of EN-"
There's one little piece of
plain paper in here that's worth
ten times all the bonds together"
Shore remarked, "if It says what
think 1t does"
He shuffled the bonds in his
hands, and opened one and ex-
amined It closely.
You're right, Tony" he said.
They're thousand dollar Liberty
Bonds. And the best thing about
them, they're bearer bonds, that
means any one can cash them, and
no questions asked"
boy. oh. boy! What a haul
the little man exclaimed, rubbing
his hands greedily. How many
do you think there are?"
"Oh, about a hundred, maybe
more" Shore answered carelessly,
putting the certificates aside on
the table and picking up a plain
white envelope from the bottom
OF the box.
Gosh! A hundred grand" Tony
exclaimed. Fifty fer me, and so
fer you"
Shore ignored him as he quickly
opened the envelope. spread out

Observation-Disclosures become

Cynically minded observers insist
that the whole thing was beautiful

der the guise of keeping the war
away from the Western hemisphere.
The 116 reconditioned World war de-
stroyers were to patrol this zone,
with assistance from other naval
vessels, and at once protect inter-
American shipping and prevent the
war zone from spreading to this side
of the Atlantic. 1t was to be an
answer TO Germany's reported long
range submarines, to her mysteri-
Gus tankers which could supply I'M
dersea boats in the South Atlantic
or Pacific, and an assurance that
at least part of the long trail over
which supplies from the Americas

pass would be safe.

Plan q. Here is an Idea. Let's d.
vide the large storage closet, still keep
ing one-half OF the space for duty as
before. but convert the other half into
an auxiliary wash room and toilet
Thus will the main bathroom be aug
mented by additional fixtures and the
morning rush divided.
Plan D Ia still another scheme
whereby we take away from an ample
bedroom space feet wide, part of
which Is then converted into an ex-
cellent wardrobe: the balance into a
convenient Mushroom.
But by all means consult your
plumber before you start to tenr down

ton.
And don't forget to build In a small
window In each Of these comfort sta
lions for light and ventilation.

AN EXTRA BATH

WHEN that extra guest comes. or
W the young son or daughter grows
up, 1t seems almost imperative that
The average family arrange for a sec
ond bath or at least an extra toilet
md lavatory.
How to fit them into an already
crowded house plan Is problem.
So let's see what we can scheme
out for converting some of our extra
space into one of these much-needed
conveniences.
Take Plan A shown above Here is
simple method of installing toilet
and lavatory under the main stair
case. This Mushroom will only require
a length of feet 9 inches. The width
of the stairs viii be ample
II will be a most convenient mr.
rangement and will be welcomed by
all the family. especially the mother
with several small children who need
to be scrubbed several times day.
Countless steps and stairs win be
saved, and this UNDERSTANDS washroom
viii prove its worth over and over
again.
Plan b Is really a tiny but COM
ilete bathroom. II can be squeezed
nto space feet by 3 feet @ inches
nd many an old closet might be sac

If you will dig back into the de-
bates on the Versailles treaty in the
United. States senate, and particu-
larly the discussions Of the League
of Nations covenant, it may throw
some interesting light on what is
gong on in Washington now. Espe-
cially if you remember that Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt, as a candidate for
vice president in 1920, approved the
policy Of Woodrow Wilson whole
heartedly.
! Wilson had said that Article x, Of
the league covenant, was the
heart" of the covenant. This is
the article which provided that the
members of the League of Nations
should use force to prevent agrees
sions by one nation on another. This
article has never been observed,
even by the nations which did join
the league. 1t was never even Sc
riously proposed in the league as
sembly at Geneva, though there
were two notable occasions when
member nations were attacked, no
tably China and Ethiopia.
Big Movement On for Neu
Lending and Spending Bill
Despite all the war boom talk,-
there is tremendous underline |
surface movement in Washington for
big new lending and spending bill.
A considerable group of New Deal
ers is pushing it quietly, but deter
minedly Apparently they are not
discouraged by the bad beating the
lend-spend idea took in the last ses-
sion of congress, when that $3,000,-
0O0,0 program for public works,
express highways, rural electrified
ton and whatnot was thrown in the
ashpile by combination of conserv-
alive Democrats and Republicans.
Industry, the New Dealers are
saying, is still tagging because not
enough of the nations savings 40
into investment to lift its purchasing
power and keep production equip
ment in full operation.
The war boom, say the New Deal
ers, is just palliative. Advocates
OF the lend-spend theory insist that
If private industry can't absorb all
our savings, the government must
take hand--must divert savings
into productive investment by meas
ures more far-reaching than any
which have been taken to date. A
