many places in the track to pre-

II didn't. l didn't know what to

Spineli walked over to the train
yards and brought a locomotive,
then a second one, and set them on
the track facing each other, cow
catchers touching. Eyes. the
grounded wheels on one locomo-
tive touch the short section on one
rail, and the grounded wheels on

Henry was trembling. He picked
up one Of the clubs flashlights and
crawled under the table. ~ see two
wires, one running up toward each
of those short sections of rail-" he
announced. Help me trace them"
Spinelli reached under the table
and followed the wires with his fin
gers, one at a time, to determine
where they led. From a distance Of
20 feet down the track he reported,
Here's one that's been soldered to
the metal conduit that runs under
the table"
Henry moved along to the point
Spinelli indicated, and confirmed
the discovery.

Spinelli told him excitedly. Your
other wire has been grounded.
Wherever this conduit meets a
ground wire, that's where the cir
cult is complete"
"And somewhere in the circuit
Henry added, 'is the battery that
sent the Juice through that circuit

John Ivesw
Spinelli sensed that they were on
the final trail. He helped Henry
trace the conduit, even to the ex-
tent Of digging out some Of the
plaster Of the wall next to the train
dispatcher's room.
"The conduit has been soldered
to one Of the old unused wires that
go. up to the light in the ceiling
over the desk where Ives was

ducked under the table and
through the door into the death
chamber. In another moment, while
Spinelli with his stiff neck was

room on hands and knees. Henry
jumped on top Of the desk and
pulled at the ornamental plate into
which the electric light globe had

FORD AIRPLANEs

II Henry Ford could be given
flee reign to produce airplane and
tank engines he would aim to roll
them off assembly lines as rapidly
as his old Model-T.
The pioneer automotive manufac-

civilian demand for aircraft in the
postwar era, just as there Is
pressing need for fighter and bomb

His son, Edsel Ford, president Of
the Ford Motor Co., discloses three

$4,000 Men Sought
By Canada in First
Recruiting Drive
New Axis Threats in
Near East Stressed
By Defense Minister
BY the Associated Press.


OTTAWA, May 12-Canada
launched its first recruiting cam
paigr of the present war last night
in an appeal by Defense Minister
j. L. Ralston for young men to fill
up the ranks for the British Empires
stand against the new Axis threat
In the Near East.
Mr.. Ralston told the Dominion he
had placed the army's needs a month
ago at 5000 recruits a month. but
that since the fall of Yugoslavia
and Greece the Canadian forces now
need about $4,000 more men in the
next two months.
Hitler now threatens the Near
East and Suez," he said Equipment
which could i'll be spared has been
lost. The shipping situation has
grown more serious. That is all in a
short month.
Calls for $4,000 Men.
Tonight open Canada's first re-
cruiting campaign" he announced to
Canada in radio address. This is
O call for men for the army.
IT will get right down to business.
We need about $4,000 men in the
next two months"
He said they were needed to bring
the armored divisions up to strength,
to replace units of the 4th Division,
which had been transferred to the
armored division and to reinforce
units of the 3rd Division and others.
Mr.. Ralston disclosed also that
plans are being considered for
women in certain work in Canada s
fighting services, but he said there
'isn't any sign" of a manpower
shortage in the Dominion.
No Shortage Of Manpower.
There is an impression that there
Is shortage of manpower in Cam
ada" he said.
Let me say that there isn't any
sign Of that. We have statistics of
the needs of the fighting services
and industry, and civilian require

Already many women are taking

there are positions in the fighting
