patio"
Old Joe Strengthened up. That
amt the only evidence I picked
ND, either. Take a look at this ciga-
rette stub. l found that right here
IN the grass"
Harrington examined the crushed
and fiattened stub. This doesn't
help M much, Sheriff. All you're
doing is bringing rs back to the
original eleven suspects. And with
all the lights out. one mans alibi
is rs good as another's-"
Maybe 50, maybe not" Old
Joe said. The way I figure it,
that cigarette stubn put a rope
around somebody's neck. want
you to smell it, Colonel - just
smell it"
Harrington shifted it and said.
"It smells like garlic"
That's wild onion you smell"
Old Joe replied, and turned his
flashlight downward. ''See them
green stalks standin' straight up
among the ordinary grass? Well.
that's wild onion, and if you bruise
them stalks you get smell pretty
near as strong as garlic. The killer
don't know it, but he dropped his
cigarette into a little clump Of wild
onion grass, and when he ground it
mderfoot, like you do to put out
a cigarette, he mashed a bunch OF
them shoots. We've got eleven
suspects, Colonel; that makes
twenty-five shoes, but only one
of them shoes'll smell of wild onion
- and the man who is wearin'
that shoe killed John Narrower
30 THAT was the way Old Joe
Gatchell solved the murder on
Hickory Hill. The murderer was
George Thorne, Marlowe's own
secretary.
Thorne confessed that he'd no
ticed Benson's excitement as he
came out of the vault that after
noon, and knew that his theft had
been discovered. Marlowe had al
ready left for the day, but Thorne
knew Benson would tell him at the
dinner party that night; 50 he took
Benson's gun to Hickory Hill, fig
uring that the only safe way out
was to kill Marlowe and throw the
blame on somebody else.
Colonel Harrington understands
now why we keep on electing Old
Joe for sheriff year after year. even
if his methods are old-fashioned.
As Old Joe says, Some people
claim that trackin' down crime is
a science, but l figure it's nothin'
more than the knack of usin' the
five senses you was born with"
The End

so it's your gun. Benson. and
your fingerprints - but you didn't
do the killing. eh? Well. you'll
have a chance to explain all that
to a jury. Plenty Of men have been
hanged on les than that"
But I'm telling you the truthr
Benson shouted. "I'm not a muir
derer. and I'm not a thief. Some
body's trying to frame mer

rington ordered.
That's where Old Joe cut in.

I'D hold off a little while on them

''Oh. you do?" Harrington said.

Maybe that's what's the trou-

just hold your horses. Colonel, till
l finish checkin' up on somethin'.
A couple O minutes'll tell me
whether I'm right or wrong"
50 HARRINGTON shrugged and sat
down to wait, and Old Joe took a
flashlight and hobbled out. He
wasn't gone very long, either, but
when he came back there was a
telltale gleam in those frosty blue
eyes of his.
Just like l figured, Colonel"
he said. "You better start at
scratch and work this case out all
over again. Because the gun was
found here on the floor. them ex-
perts of yours took it for granted
the killer was inside, too. But he
wasn't! John Marlowe was shot
from outside this here window. The
killer fired through this grille work.
then reached his arm in and tossed
the gun and the empty shells over
by the door, so it'd look like an in
side job"
Harrington jumped up. Can
you prove that, Gatchell?"
IL never make a claim till can
prove it," Old Joe declared. Come
outside with me, Colonel, and III
show you"
When they were outside the win
dow, Old Joe's flashlight showed
the grass all trampled at that spot.
Here's even better proof. Colonel
- these three burnt matchsticks
picked up. The empty shells
hoped out of the killers gun when
he fred, he had to strike matches
to find 'em in the grass"
But - but why should he work
from the outsider" Harrington
asked.
"Why that's easy figured" Joe
said. "He had to get back with the
others right quick, and he couldn't
run through pitch black halls in a
hurry, to say nothin' of maybe

TUNISIA:
Smooth Tean,,UOrk

Irresistibly the Allied offensive in
North Africa had rolled on toward
Tunis and Bizerte.
Like well-co-ordinated teams the
various commands performed their
tasks. Principal objective of the
British First army had been the
Axis last mountain barrier before
the plain of Tunis in the Medjez-El-
Bah sector. Chief assignment of
Lieutenant General Patton's Ameri-
can troops had been the overwhelm-
ing of three enemy hill positions on
the road to Bizerte And although
the American forces ran into heavy
counterblows in their enveloping tao
tics around Mateur and Tebourba,
they had continued to drive ahead.
While these two strategic move
ments were being carried out as a
prelude to a combined Allied as
sault, French troops in the south
executed a maneuver that had cut
the Pont-du-F Fahs-Enfdaville road
and exposed the flank of the Axis
troops facing General Montgomery's
Eighth army.
While the Germans faced the in
evitable decision of final surrender
or annihilation their commanders
were using every possible device to
slow down the Allied advance. Re-
sistance against the British First
army had stiffened sharply at the
crest of Bou Aoukaz mountain, over
looking the valley to Tunis.

JOBS VS.. PAY:
Essential Shifts OK

AS the War Manpower commits
sion extended its employment sta
bilization program to the entire ma
tion, workers anywhere in the Unit
ed States were permitted to shift
from one essential job to another
at higher pay, provided such trans
fers enhance the war effort"
Previously such job shifts could
take place only in 70 areas covered
by the WINGS regional sterilization
programs. The commission's action
was taken after representatives of
organized labor had protested that
job transfers under the former reg
ulations favored workers in the sta
bilization areas at the expense of
workers in other regions.
Under the new plan, any worker
in an essential industry may trans
fer to a higher-paying job in an
other essential industry if he OBJ
tains from his employer, from the
U. S. employment service office in
his area, or from his local VINO Of
fee, a Statement of availability"
which declares that his transfer will
benefit the war effort.

WITHHOLDING TAX:
Painless Extraction

Soothing words to taxpayers faced
with rising federal levies were spo-
ken by Chairman Doughton of the
house ways and means committee
who declared that the 20 per cent
withholding provision of the pending
pay-as-you-go tax bills "will not re-
suit in single extra dollar being
taken from the taxpayers pocket
book"
'The proposed 20 per cent with
holding is only method of collect
ing currently all or part of the taxes
imposed by the existing tax laws"
he said.
Mr.. Doughton said that from some
persons will be withheld more than
is needed to pay their taxes and
from others, less. Refunds will be
made later if too much has been
withheld.
'All salary and wage earners will
be called upon to file a regular in
come tax return on March 15," he
said. "The amount which has been
withheld from their wages will be
credited against the actual tax
owed"

TRAINING:
For Postwar Youth

The idea that the youth of Amer
lea, making use of industrial plants
and military camps might well give
a years service to their government
In the postwar era was advanced
by President Roosevelt.
Declaring that his recent inspec-
ton trip of war activities had con-
vinced him that the armed forces
and the home front factories are
in their stride, the President said
he was wondering what could be
done after victory is won, with
camps and plants in which millions
have been invested. While he had no
specific program to offer, he ernpha-
sized the benefits in physical condi-
ton and mental alertness that men
and women in service and war-work-
er uniforms had realized in the last
few months. He indicated he thought
their training should be extended to
all young men and women in some
form after we win the war.
Any program that might develop,
ne said, probably would be only part
lv military

RUSS-POLES:
Issue Is Territory

Territorial differences came to
the fore as the principal issue at
stake in the Polish-Soviet controver-
sy, although the break in diplomatic
relations had been caused by de-
mand of the Polish government-in-
exile for an investigation of the al
legged massacre by Russians of TO-
600 Polish troops in the Smolensk
region.
In a statement which neither
opened nor closed the door to recon-
ciliation, Premier Sikorski affirmed
the Polish governments policy of
aiming at friendly relations with
Russia, but challenged the Soviet's
right to claim the western Ukraine
and western Belo-R Russia.
The Poles demand a return of the
eastern part of the territory they
ruled before their 1899 collapse. The
Russians who took this land over,
and were in turn routed by the 1941
German invasion, say that the land
is historically theirs.
Whether the controversy could be
preached remained a problem for
United Nations chancellories to
worry about.

COAL SHOWDOWN:
FDR Moues SUiftLy

Blunt had been President Roose-
velt's warning to John L. Lewis,
head of the United Mine Workers,
to end the tie-up in the nations soft
coal fields.
The need for blunt action, how
ever, had been clearly evident,
for even at the moment the Presi-
dent had threatened to use his pow
ers as commander in chief to pre-
vent interference with the war eff
fort, $4,000 miners already were on
strike and a walkout of the entire
100000 bituninous miners had been
threatened.
Terming the miners wa1kout as
"strikes against the U. S. govern
ment ITSELF the President said that
such action was clearly a violation
of labor's ''no-strike" pledge.

CHORES: Smith college students
will be called upon to give one
hours service daily, without remu-
neration to the college in the hope
of eliminating the necessity of an
additional fee to meet rising cost,
President Herbert Davis announced.
BEER: A beer rationing system
limiting purchasers to 36 pints a
month has been decided upon by the
Ontario liquor board.
SCRAP: Unable to salvage the
French fleet scuttled at Toulon, last
November, the Nazis are content
ing themselves with stripping as
much metal as possible from the
sunken ships, according to reports
received in Sweden. While most
of them were scuttled, some ships
escaped to Africa.
GOOD SCOUTS: Twenty nine
members of Boy Scout Troop 81,
harrington, ILL.,, earned the right
to have 100000 American bomber
named in their honor, by selling
more than 100000 in war bonds
since last November.

RUSSIA:
Battles In the Air

While Berlin reports announced
that large-scale Russian offensive
had been undertaken against the
Nazis' Kuban bridgehead in the
Caucasus, Moscow communiques
said that aerial fighting was the
principal activity along the far
flung front.
This aerial activity had various
signifcances on various sectors. In
the Caucasus, the Russian strategy
was to wear down Nazi air power
and thus enhance the Red army's
efforts at dislodging the Germans
from their bridgehead around Novo-
rossisk.
In east Prussia, Red aerial bomb
ing assaults were directed at break
ing up concentrations of German
troops and supplies being prepared
for Hitler's spring invasion.

cago archeologist who has been

lets.
While 10 can be factored evenly
only by one, two, five and itself,
the Babylonian unit had the ad-
vantage that it could be factored
by one, two, three, four, five, six,
ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty, thirty

MASSACRE:
Japs Ape Nazis

Employing the same terroristic
technique that their Nazi partners
had used in massacring the inhabi-
tants of Lidice, Czechoslovakia, Jap
troops slaughtered every man, wom-
an and child in the coastal areas of
China where many of Maj. Gen.
James H. Doolittle's f1iers had land
ed after the bombing of Tokyo.
This latest sequel to the Japs' ex-
ecution of some of the American
f1iers captured after the raid was
related by Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau, in an address in
San Francisco.
Reports covering the Chinese eli
dice" were received from General
issimo Chang Kai-shek, who de-
clared that the Japs had reproduced
on a wholesale scale the horrors
which the Nazis had inflicted in
CZechoslovakia.

ALEUTIANS:
RCAF Joins Raids

American airmen keeping up their
marathon bombing tactics in the
Aleutians were joined by Canadian
pilots flying U. S. Warhawk fighters
in attacks on Jap-held positions on
Kiska.
Whether the bombings were
softening-up prelude to American
land and naval action against the
Aleutians or a diversion to hamper
enemy activity observers did not
know. But they were unanimous in
their opinion that any assault on the
Jap-held Aleutian positions would
be considerably more difficult than
had the American offensive against
South Pacific Guadalcanal.
A naval communique said that the
continuing raids, made by Liberia
tor and Mitchell bombers and War
hawk and Lightning fighters scored
damaging results on the main camp
area and runway on Kiska.
