Friends Questioned

The detective questioned
some of Marie's club &C
quaintances about Raab
None knew him by name
but from the description
furnished they recalled that
a tall, smiling. well groomed
man, never without a red
carnation boutonnier, often
dated the girl. And Marie
Lamont had acted toward
the visitor like a girl in
love.
When was the last time
they had seen Marie? Mon
day night. One girl re
called that Marie received
a telephone call that night
which resulted in frenzied
dressing and primping, fol
lowed by an excited dash
into a taxi.
To clean up the personal
angle. Barry was forced 10
get the girls husband out
of bed and break the tragic
news 10 him. A cleancut
young businessman, he
seemed deeply shocked al
the tragedy, but was un-
able 10 assist the police
he hadn't seen his wife
since their estrangemenl
three years before.

learned that his suspect
Raab could not be found

Meet a Stranger

So we got on a bus and went
to Beverly Hills which is a diff
ferent town from Hollywood al
though they really run right
together and In fact all the
towns out here run together no
matter how far they are apart
and they are all Los Angeles
except Beverly Hills. / guess
Los Angeles covers more terri
tory than the war.

Heads for Lagoon

In the murky dawn OF
Friday morning a patrol
man walking his beat
through Garfield Park saw
a stalwart man stroll to-
ward him, a not unusual
occurrence because each
morning had its crop of all
night stayouts. But sud
denly the figure veered 10
the right off the path and
toward the lagoon situated
only a few feet from the
roadway.
Peering through the
brush the officer was rs
founded to see the man,
fully clothed, wade waist
deep into the lagoon, OBJ
viously headed for deeper
water. The policeman
sprinted for the nearby
boathouse, where he showed
a boat off the dock, hoped
in and with a few lusty
strokes was alongside the
would-be suicide, who was
now up to his neck IN
water.
"You fool, what are you
trying to do?" yelled the
officer.
The man turned blood
shot eyes on the officer
with what the latter took
to be relief. Then, with the
aid of his rescuer, he strug-
gled into the boat. Drip
ping. he sat in the stern
seat a model of detection
while the officer took his
place at the oars facing
him.
II was at that moment
that the officer spied the
shred of a red flower ad"
herring 10 the mans lapel.
"a "Say, you're Rasb, aren't
>you?" gasped the patrol
man.
His passenger was silent
out the officer read the
answer in his eyes. The
patrolman realized he had
made a great pinch-Raab
the man who killed a
girl in the Loop hotel!
Before 1t. Barry and a
corps of officials, the pris-
oner told a sordid story OF
thd easily led beauty and
the slavering, conscience
less beast.
IL phoned Marie at the
club, telling her 1 was sick,
that L needed her right
away. 1 talked her into
staying with me for a few
days and everything went
fine until about midnight,
when she began to cry and
pJeaded with me TO Kill
her"
Here the man halted IN
Ms recital.
well, come on. what
lid YOU do about IT," urged
larry.
II gave her some sleep

powders didn't do any

with me until | couldn't

The homicide lieutenant
Interrupted.

DelieVe this story aDOut

Identified by Purse,

Next, Barry turned his
attention 10 the room. He
bounced on an evening
purse lying on the dresser
whose contents told him
that the dead girl was
Marie Lamont of 215 East
Erie street. The drawers
of the dresser contained
papers with the ii9forma-
ton that the missing Raab
was a ioOrman al the Club

which was wildly framed
against the white pillow by
a luxurious mass of titan
hair, The lieutenant was
struck with the idea that
the body could have been
laid out by a professional
mortician.
View Beautiful Form
The homicide detective
beckoned DR.. Jerry Kearns,
aid TO Coroner Frank j.
Walsh, who waited in the
hallway. A beautifully
formed, flawlessly textured
body was exposed TO their
view-an exquisite figure
that might have been CHS
eled from marble by a mas
ter sculptor. But a thin
cruel wire wound around
the neck spoiled the Illusion.
The doctor nodded.
"She died from strsngu.
lation, no question about
that. But what puzzles me
n that she was not found
before this because she has
been dead for at least Is
hours"
At this information the
detective called in the hotel
manager for an explana-
ton.
"Suzie williams, one OF
our colOred maids" the
manager stated, knocked
at the door of this room at
about 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and n mans voice
asked who was at the door.

"HOw long has she lived

To Issue Sugar
For Canning on
Same Basis

WASHINGTON, April 21.-UP)
The Office of Price Administra-
ton today advised housewives to
go ahead with canning programs on
the same basis as last year since
no changes are contemplated in su-
gar provision for home canning.
All who plan home canning were
advised to make their preparations.
IT any changes in the program are
forthcoming, they added, they will
be refinements only and not of a
basic nature.
Last season housewives applied to
local boards for sugar allotments
on the basis of one pound for each
four quarts of canned fruit and in
addition one pound for each men,
ber of the family. The same pat
tern will be followed this season.
The gasoline division of the OPA,
however, indicated it would deny
requests of home Gamers who are
asking for extra gasoline allot-
mentS for trips to orchards and
farms to pick fruit for home cam
ming.

Ell Centro Falls Behind Other
Cities in Surgical Dressings

Already this month Holtville
women have completed 10000 dress
ings, and Ell Centre, if it were not
for the aid given by women from
Imperial, McCabe, and Meloland,
would never make its quota of 90
900 dressings a month, surely a
small quota if Holtville can make
10000 by the first half of the
month.
At present Ell Centre is 100000
dressings behind, and surely, since
it means life or death to Americas
own men, it should not be necessary
to make a plea for help, and yet
only the faithful few who have de-
voted hours to the work, turn out.
The whole auditorium may be
used for dressings, the coolers are
established, and If every woman
registered would just give a few
hours a week to the work, the
quota could be, made.
Hot weather will soon be here and
the center hopes to close June l.
Men and women both can make
bandages and everyone who has
few hours to devote to the work is
urged by Red Cross officials to re-
port at the surgical dressings Gen.
ter in the Ten Thousand club
house, Seventh and Olive, where
instructors will be on hand to show
