Anyway, there seemed to be two more people. Men. They just appeared. From nowhere, 1t would seem. The shots came fast now. When the girl screamed her boy friend clapped his hand to her mouth, telling her to keep 1t shut. They didn't want to get mixed in what was going on. So the rest of the doings were blurred. She didn't see the two again. The man in tails after shooting once seemed to have dis appeared. She could hear run ming steps. The echoes jumped up and down in the cobbled street. Then the police showed up and by that time the bank mes- senger as he later proved to be, was lying in the middle of the narrow street, shot. The bag was gone. The girl and her boy friend couldn't run. The boy friend however, escaped by running up the dark stairs and not coming to her rescue when the police nabbed her. The name was Sarah Kiker and she worked part time at the mvritiGHs plcct.
 That was the jumbled story of an eyewitness. Sarah Kiker now was in jail. She declined to divulge the identity of her friend.
 Hunter laid the paper aside thoughtfully. There's a gal for you! There's real sport"
 Warwick came in and began ar- ranging things. Hunter watched with surprise. Something doing tonight?"
 "The young, sir, are planning a meeting. Not a party, but just a get-together, as Miss Bella said"
 T see. Well, I'd better clear out"
 Hunter went down to the barn. The time was almost dusk. He had to get Juniors car out, but what he would do with it afterward he could hardly think. He could put it tenn porarily here in the barn. He got out the heavy truck, some chains, and made ready for the wrecking job.
 He ate supper. There was a small dining room attached to the servants quarters for his use. By the time he was ready to attack the job in the woods cars bearing the guests were arriving. Hunter went out and stood in the shadows so slashing headbearns would not readily show him watching. The crowd was quiet. They entered the house without much talk and no laughter at all. Red didn't seem to be about. It struck Hun. ter with an ominous portent that he might be included in the topics to be discussed: for there was nc question thetr purpose was witt Junior.

the dark into ink. He crept up to the window, open to the bland evening. He could see the group. Hankins Temple, the McDougal girls, Mrs. Ballard's brother, Neal Frazier; the Ghibarto twins. Red and her fiancc were not present. Frazier was leaning against the mantle, finishing a cigaret. He crushed it out in an ash tray. He was short but powerful man. A bachelor hurrying into his late sos, with a pretty watermelon belly, he nevertheless had a bulldog face and pugilistic build. He occupied the advantage of being the oldest member of this rather cultish group that made sportsmanship their battle cry.
 "I'll wager you the real culprit is not far from where we are" he said. "All of you read the Kiker girls story in the afternoon paper. Without going into details at this moment, but speaking from some inside dope, which in turn is made up of many small things, I'm will : E !c iay odds on the killers be- ing right here.

 Red was gone when Hunter re. turned to the house. He asked War wick, Where did Miss Bella go?"

 A sudden question, which over. shadowed all the others, popped into Hunters mind. Red standing there runinating, making wha amounted to an ahbi for hel brother. She named all present a the party except herself.
 "Warwick!"
 "Yes, sir, MT. Dent?"
 You saw all that were at thu party last night. Was Miss Bells there?"
 Yes, sir, she was.'

 Now you raise the question, MT Dent, I don't believe she was her' when the party abruptly broke. I happened rather on the spur O. the moment, sir. I would say. Yol know how they do some ont screams something, and they al scream, and all make dash fol their cars, and the house become like a tomb" He reflected. "Nov you ask, Miss Bella evidently diC not go with the rest"
 Hunter decided, "One thing seems sure. Red didn't know couldn't vouch in her own mind that Junior wasn't mixed in thu stick-up, the killing. She suspects She is afraid.

HENRY

THE STORY: Hunter Dent, who manages wealthy Strickland Bal- lard's farm, is suspected of being involved In the robbery and mur- der of a bank messenger, through his protection of Ballard's dissi- pated son, Junior. Hunter found Junior lying unconscious beside . satchel containing $l7,OOO, the amount taken from the messen- ger. Hunter had put the boy to bed, discovered next day that Junior had not been drunk, but shot and seriously wounded.
 Hunter hides the money, next day finds it gone from a safe to which only he knew the combina- ton. The tires of his ear match the tracks of the death car" which Junior drove and crashed on the estate, and which Hunter is hiding. But the sheriff exam ines Hunters tires, finds there is no dust on them.

THE PACK GATHERS
CHAPTER VI

Sheriff Anderson folded his can- era and dropped 1t back in the car seat. He continued to eye Hunter in a way the farm manager did not like. He murmured under his breath s'Um- -mmmm," took out a small notebook and wrote things down. Without being so at all he acted in a most disagreeable manner. He repeated the name, Hunter Dent. Ire asked, And your official title is farm manager, that it?" Hunter nodded. The two men drove of Hunter and Red faced each other.
 They afternoon was declining. Hunter had a strange sense of time, as if not hours but weeks and months had elapsed since all this began. Red dropped on the bottom steps of the stairs. She talked as if Co herself. Tt couldn't have been Juniors car. It could not have been Junior. He was in town last night = yes. He came back some time in the night, that's true. But he was with some of the gang every minute. With Hankins Tenn pie, with the Ghibartos, with the twins, with Neal, Bill = 1t couldn't have been Junior" She became aware of Hunters eyes closely upon her. Startled out of thinking out loud, she rose. T guess I'd better be going, Hunter"
 She moved toward the house With 8 growing uneasiness that he was shielding Junior at the dan gerous expense of himself, Hunter returned to the woods. He had said his key was the only one to the old chain and-lock. That was not true. There were two keys and Junior had the other. He reached fhe wrecked car.

long it takes to prepare plans and
take care of all the other details
which must be completed before any
actual building can start.
Many of the best architects and
engineers now have leisure to study
problems involved and develop plans
which they may not be able to do
when the anticipated postwar rush
starts. Those who have their plans
completed will be able to get the
first materials available and get the
best workmen. thus benefiting the
industry as we'll as themselves.
The Washington Building Con-
gress is devoting much thought to
the problem of keeping the industry
from disintegrating under the pres
sure Of war, SO that it may be able
to fill the important role planned
for it in the postwar period when
it must help absorb much of the
labor and material released by the
tapering off of our mammoth war
production industries. Planning now
for construction after the war is
one method of helping to hold the
industry together until better days
arrive"
Mr.. Cortright-"Can private in
dustry accomplish its 1943 housing
assignment" The answer undoubt-
edly lies in large part with the War
Production Board. More specifically,
1t is in the hands of the program
ing, FACILITIES and controlled ma
terials branches. Just as the sue
cess in our theater of military op-
erations is in large part dependent
upon the strategy of the high COM
mand, in the same fashion the salts
factory completion of the over all
war housing program will be largely
dependent upon the administrative
officials in charge of these bureaus
of WPB.
Examination of the production of
war housing to date discloses the
fact that in 1941, $4,000 privately
financed dwelling units were erected
by the builders of the country, and
only $4,000 were built by the Govern
ment at the taxpayers expense. In

and public construction will be less
than 175,000.
Next Years Program.
According to Housing Admin
istrator John B. Blandford's plan
for next year, 175,OO0 housing units
must be built by private industry.
According to the most conservative
estimates, the production of planes,
ships, tanks, and guns cannot be
kept up to schedule unless this min
imum amount of critically needed
housing is erected by private build
ers. in addition to the quantity of
temporary shelter which FPHA can
construct.
Only recently has the absolute

it of a permanent nature for family

the War Production Board. Mr..
Blandford, since taking over as ad-

and as realtors we have been striv-
ing for many years to make the
possession of home the right and
privilege of all Americans. In Wash
ington the Real Estate Board has
been pioneering in that effort since
its organization, more than 80 years
ago. One can readily imagine what
is happening in some Of the Euro
pean countries where the Christ
mas spirit has been stifled and
where the thought Of freedom from
the yoke Of tyranny feebly exists.
In this country and particularly
the Metropolitan Area of Washing
ton we are extremely fortunate.
We have the right to carry on our
business even though many phases
Of it have been curtailed by the
demands of war. In the first World
War the building of homes was sub
ordinated to other activities, but
today. under certain conditions we
are carrying our share Of the fight
for freedom by building essential
housing for war workers. We are
also doing our utmost by encourag-
ing the purchase of War bonds
THE last year witnessed nearly
as much activity in and around
Washington, and more than 1878
family units have been authorized
by local building officials. For the
first 10 months this construction
represented a permit value of more
than $157 100000.
"As managing agents of real es-
tate we must cooperate in the
conservation of fuel oil and all ma
terials which we normally require
to properly maintain the properties

ing our best under the restricted al
lowances of fuel oil to keep our ten
ants comfortable, and in this we
must have the active cooperation

throughout the country today are
living in tents, shacks. trailers, and
other ill-equipped, insanitary and
makeshift accommodations. We are
advised that there are many eight
hour beds (the triple use of single
accommodations), and thousands of
workers sleeping in bed rolls in the
most critical areas.
ut is to be hoped that the agencies
charged with housing these workers
on whom our war production is de-
pendent, see to it that they are given
adequate accommodations. This is
more than war of arms and men.
1t is primarily war of materials.
No better victory insurance can be
taken out than good housing, ex-
peditiouslv constructed"
Mr.. Lusk-"Next year is bound to
witness a sharp curtailment in pri-
vate building of houses and apart
ments here. 1t is probable that by
the end of the year all home build
ing, both public and private, will
cease.
THE present year. despite what
some may think, has proved to be
of boom proportions for home build
ing. Homes have been low priced
and not the type that would ordi-
narily be erected here except for
comparatively small portion of the
total. Private interests will have
started about $4,000 by the end of
1912 but the number of builders has
been steadily decreasing.
This is due to the fact that the
small builder is unable to devote the
time or employ the talent to keep
up with all the regulations that are
constantly being issued by various
Government departments in connec-
ton with building.
Building Will Decline.
I'm 1943 house building will con-
tinually decline: the emphasis will
be more and more on rental apart
ments and flats. Practically no
houses will be erected in the Bethes-
da area of Montgomery County, so
perhaps In Washington, and few in
Virginia. Priorities and materials
for 5000 units next year should be
top.
Public construction, mostly dor
mitories and demountables, will
surge ahead. It may we'll be two to
three times as great as private
building"

oil Is available, but this cannot be
done now. We are at war, and ev-
erything that we can do we must do
willingly.
Market Is Active.
During the last year the real
estate market has been far from in
active, even though the number of
real estate transactions filed for
record have been about 1000 less
than during 1941, when there were
14,471 deeds recorded.
During the recent war confer
ence' OF the National Association of
Real Estate Boards in st. Louis it
was suggested that in this period of
increased incomes for many fami-
lies that. in addition to the purchase
of bonds, our citizens should be en-
couraged to gain an added stake in
America and its future through
home ownership.
Around the American family and
American home are built our Sc
curlty and our culture, institutions
which represent to the individual
freedom, security, happiness. They
mean the things for which we are
fighting. The placement of these
savings IN a home would divert
much money from the purchase Of
consumer goods which requires new
production and would be an effectuaI
check upon inflationary tendencies.
I'VE should prepare now for the
peacetime transition by CAREFUL,
developing our plans for our cities
when the conflict ends and some
war workers return to their origina
homes. The plan for the Nationa
Capital was evolved carefully before
making any permanent changes
even though such changes may be
temporarily justified.
Leaders in American thought are
working to build a better America
following the war and in their plans
are many ideas for the betterment
OF the American home. We believe
here that our city will be greater
than ever before, and in this desire
we will have the support of the
members of the Washington Real
Estate Board. who are convinced
That with a Nation of home loving
ana homecoming people the future
OF our city will ever be bright"
