Navy Day.
Induction Of 100 navy recruits
took place at noon in front Of the
lcity hall.
Capt. William A. Mcguire, for
mer Pacific fleet chaplain, cred
tied with the now famous Pearl
Harbor remark, Praise the Lord
and pass the ammunition" was to
address the assembly, speaking
from the recruiting ship McKeever
In Cadillac square.
TALK FOLLOWS LUNCHEON
The navy priests chief talk,

Detroit's housing problem is nc
different basically than that OF q
of other communities

in an address yesterday before
the Detroit Economic Club.
''More spectacular because De-
troit itself n moro spectacular.
Here I'm Detroit we all see
the use 20 which scarce ma
terials are put. We know that
it takes some Of the Same ma
terials TO build houses.
WANT ONLY ENOUGH
Tho American people, the
people right here In Detroit,
want only enough taken from
tho weapons of war TO permit
necessary housing for the man
who II producing those weapons
and hasn't q place TO live In
while he's doing It."
Estimating that $4,000 wal
workers would migrate to Detroit
between July I, 1912, and July /
1943, Blandford announced that
the War Production Board had re-
leased enough lumber to private
builders of the metropolitan area
to complete 5000 homes now
under construction.
He assured his audience also
that Ae-MPR- had promised tc
provide materials for the CONVEX
sion Of existing homes to multi.
unit dwellings for war workers.

John was in bed-sleeping peace fully. Dawson was beside him in a flash, switing the revolver around so that he grasped 1t by the barrel.
 He shook the sleeping man ten derly.
 Wake up, cutie, and see who's here!" he said in a loud whisper.
 The regular breathing ceased and Johns eyes fluttered open. For a second he stared up unseeingly, then sat bolt upright, his mouth 1 opening in the prelude to yell, That's just what Dawson was waiting for. His arm swung in a short arc and the butt of the re- volver caught John squarely in the mouth.
 Now get up, skunk, and watch yourself!" he groWled. Clutching his mouth, John slow ly moved out of the bed and stood up.
 Walk ahead of me through the door and downstairs. One false move and I'll drill you'
 Obediently, John half staggered to the door. Dawson swung it wide and his prisoner walked into the hallway, halting at the top of the steps. Something in his manner caught Dawson's attention. Flash ing a glance down the steps, he saw the dour housekeeper halfway up a snub-nosed automatic in her hand!
 Dawson didn't falter = he fired ! without warning and the house. keeper clutched her shoulder, tot tering sideways and rolling down the steps.
 Dawson bounced past John to the next door-the door leading into the girls room. He pushed 1t open and went in-revolver first. One quick glance told him it was unoccupied the bed had not been slept in John was still standing rock-like in terror at the head of the stairs.
 "Okay, chum,' Dawson grinned Let's go downstairs" As they passed the prostrate form of the housekeeper, the inspector ! examined her briefly. Sorry, grandma" he said, "but you should be q nice girl" Digging his gun into Johns back, he con tinued, "and you keep right at the end of this gun while phone-just in case there should be somebody else in this den of rats" Using only one hand.

Q SERIAL STORY
CHAPTER VIII

A blinding flash of pain surged from DaWson's heart and red hot flames scared his brain = he felt this was death but fight was gone from him. All he wanted was escape from that crushing agony.
 Like person waking under q strange roof and attempting to fig ure where he is, Dawson fought through haze of pain to clear his mind. The least motion of his body brought savage darts while his head pounded mercilessly. His mouth was dry as parchment and his tongue evidently swollen. As he twisted a bit to the right the pain increased around his heart i. then he re- membered Johns closing words and the flash of pain.
 His wrists and ankles were numb, for which he was grateful. They were badly swollen, but he'd be able to work on them without too much suffering.
 The gray light of pre-dawn trickled through skylight into his Storeroom prison. Peering at the forms about him he concluded 6 number of them were packing cases. That meant rough, jagged edges.
 Picking out a large one propped in a corner, he began the ordeal of wriggling toward it. Eventually he made 1t, panting for breath, salty precipitation dripping over his eyes.
 Slowly he unanswered for posi- ton, lifting his bound legs and propping them against the high rough edge. Muttering a silent prayer that the packing case wouldn't move with the Wegiht of his legs, he drew them up and down so that the rope binding his ankles scraped on the edge. Until he got the use of his legs he couldn't stand up to free his hands the same way.
 It was a long, tedious job-hours 1t seemed while the gray light changed to bright sunlight. Ere quently he felt his head swimming, but Dawson continued scraping. IL had to be done easily lest the sound awaken his captors :. Abruptly he froze. What was that?
 A door had shut almost directly below him and yes, somebody was mounting the stairsl
 Frantically, Dawson poured every ounce of power into the scraping the rope was stretching break, damn you, break t. there was key grinding in the lock me more last push-that did 1t the rope partedl
 Digging his teeth into his lips to suppress his sobbing breath, Daw- son swung his legs over to one side and stretched out still just as the Moor swung open.

clicked.
 Jut as Dawson hung up, the door bell sounded. Wheeling quickly, he pointed to the floor:
 Lie down, toothless flat or your back and one move to get ur will be your last!"
 Dawson stepped backwards to the door and peered through the glass It was the postman. Shifting his revolver to the other hand, he open- ed the door.
 Special delivery letter for MT John Dexel"
 "Ill sign for it." Dawson replied. Closing the door again, he looked at the letter, his curiosity instantly aroused. The postmark was North Sydney, Nova Scotia.
 Dawson didn't hesitate. He tore the letter open.

Suspiciously, the man looked from the spot where they had thrown the captive to the shadoWy corner. Slowly he approached, gun aimed squarely at Dawson.
 Water, for Gods sake, water!"
 The mans sneering face was di- rectly over him now.
 How would you like an ice cold Tom Collins, big shot?" he rasped.
 Dawson barely opened his eyes as he spoke again:
 Look at my ankles - something has happened!"
 It was desperate gamble, but Dawson put everything on the fact that he was in dark corner and the man would have to bend over to see. It was working = he was bending over curiously . now was the moment!
 With every last bit of strength drawn from the reserve of we'll conditioned physique, Dawso Bteadied himself with his left foot and kicked upwards with his right. It landed with sickening crunch and the man crumbled across Daw- sons legs.
 It wouldn't do for this chap eO waken up too soon. Brutally, Daw- son kicked three times full into the face of the unconscious man - that ought to do the trick.
 Gradually, Dawson scrambled to his feet he had never realized before how difficult 1t was to rise from the floor with ones hands tied
 His head sWam diZzily and his knees trembled. The nervous tension plus the long period during which the ankles were tied left him in bad shape. He'd have to work with the utmost caution.
 Backing into the door so that he grasped the doorknob with his tied hands, he closed 1t softly. Then he moved quickly across the storeroom and turned his back to the packing case edge, using the scraping meth cd on the wrist rope.
 It took even longer than the oth- CT, but the tough strands finally parted. For fully five minutes he rubbed the angry, swollen wrists be- fore turning to the man on the floor From packing case he stripped a length of wire and deftly bound him.
 Picking up the revolver, he opened the door gingerly and stepped into the hall. Still no sounds except from the kitchen.
 Identifying the hall through which he had been carried as that of the second floor, he walked on tiptoe, pausing at the door beside the main staircase leading to the ground floor. It had been a mans room.
 Pressing his ear against the door he heard deep, regular breathing Ever so carefully. he turned the handle. It opened noiselessly and Dawson whisked inside.
