But II seems so unbelievable
that Hans was the spy! I still can't

Perhaps we'd better not talk
here. Willard turned his head ner-
vously. as though fearful someone

Agatha also was OF the opinion
they ought TO be alone-if he was

He nodded, although II was silly
TO speak Of taking him any
where. He started right off, and
they followed until Clemantine
caught up with him and took him
by an arm, despite Agatha's effort
TO get to him first. Now there was
no chance to speak to him without
the girls overhearing.
Clemantine asked, Why did you
try to make us believe that the
radio tube we had was the one the
police were looking for ,"

Agatha assured him hastily, "Of

Agatha sank helplessly into a
rocking chair. Clemantine sat on
the edge Of the bed and leaned for
ward, waiting for the fateful
words.
I'm begin at the frst," Willard
said. Because guards had been
, placed around Professor Halder, it
was evident that the government
feared an attempt would be made
to steal his invention. The idea Of
murder did not enter into it. They
were not watching for that.
Perhaps I was foolish, but I
wanted TO prove that was any
ones equal when 1t came to sleuth-
ing. l knew about the trap door into
the laboratory from the basement.
I didn't trust Professor Halder. I
was afraid he might have sold out
TO one OF the spies, and was going
to deliver the tube secretly through
the trap door to someone who
would take 1t away through the
sewer line The professor could
claim il was stolen, like his inven-
ton was in World War I. There
was suspicious parallel"
"Oh-h!" breathed Agatha. Then
she added hurriedly, But you are
wrong Otto would never do thing
like that"
The theory at least gave me an
excuse for what I did. sneaked
into the cellar when 1t was unoc-
cupied. crept through the trap door
into the laboratory, got the radio
tube, carried il back, pushed II
through the ventilator and buried
It in the soft earth Of the garden
outside. Later, when the excite
ment died down. dug it up and
gave il to the FBI. Were they sur
prised.'
Il can imagine" exclaimed
Clemantine That's why the FBI
man was so sure auntie and I
weren't mixed up with it."
Yes. II also explains why was
released quickly from that bur
glary charge But Hans thought
YOU had the tube. or knew where it
was. Willard continued He prob

That was why he stayed behind
when we bought our tickets at the
railroad station. He was going
through our bags"
Probably So agreed Willard.
If he did, that must have ended
his suspicion against you"
And 2 short time later" con-
tinued Clemantine, Il telephoned
him and told him Mabel Harrington
was the spy. I asked him to come
and save Us. Instead, he came to
get her-and the radio tube he
thought she had.'

s. s.. Will you tell the symp-
toms Of angina pactoris? Are
pains around the heart always

Answer: Pains around the
heart more often come from other
causes than from heart trouble.
The pain Of angina is distin-
guished by age incidence usually
over 40), location under the
breast bone, radiation into the
arms, vise-like character, and
relation to effort. The rhythm
Of true angina is likely TO be

THIS, etc, are pretty regular fea-
lures Of the home front.
Now articles manufactured for
household use are often irritating
to sensitive skins. New kinds of
soap lead the list. Cleansing pow
ders, lacquers, varnishes, woods
used in knitting, and even some
times cosmetics and substances
used to re-bcsutify the skin may
cause dermatitis.
In seeking to relieve these trou-
bles, the first attention OF the
physician is directed towards find
ing out whether the victim is SEN

which she comes in contact daily.
Somebody's skin is sensitive TO
one or the other Of nearly every
single ingredient Of any soap or
cleansing powder, 50 1t isn't pos
slble for the manufacturers, care
full as they are and have to be, TO
eliminate every one Of them.
The best way to detect the Of
fender is by the skin patch test. A
small piece o; the soap or cleans
ing powder is placed on the skin
of the upper arm Tor any part
which has not come in contact with
the suspected materially, covered
with a piece Of adhesive tape, and
left there for few hours; if the
patient is sensitive TO that par
ticular preparation, the skin will
show a Redeemed, itchy area.
Other factors must be taken into
consideration, however, in connec-
ton with these eruptions. My
friend, DR.. c. c. Dennie, a der
matologist of wide experience,
has listed these as follows:

ton Of the feet. with allergic re-
actions on the hands. This is the
cause Of housewives dermltitis
Of the hands in about 81 per cent
Of cases. The immersion Of the
hands and other constant uses per-
haps make them sensitive.
(2) An allergic history throws
light on the diagnosis, because
those with a history, or even a
family history, of hay fever,
asthma, hives, eczema, etc, are
likely to be sensitive to ingre-
dents Of common objects which do

Oil Industry Finances
Lube Piont Expansion

To meet military and essential
civilian demands for lubricating
oils, the petroleum industry now
has finished or under construction
eight major plants representing
total cost of about $25,000,O00.
The program was started shortly
after Pearl Harbor, when it be-
came apparent that productive ca
pacity would not be sufficient to
meet requirements of the military
with It's vast air fleet, mechanical
ground forces and navy and mari
time shipping. In addition to the
new construction, minor improve
ments were made in about 20 oper-
ating refineries to remove bottle
necks and speed output.
At the outset of the war, IA re-
finers were producing about 1O5,-
600 barrels a day of base stocks
for lubricating oils. Today's pro-
duction is geared to keep pace with
the expanding military needs and
to stockpile against the future as
far as needs can be foreseen at
this point.
The construction program has
been financed by the industry from
its private funds and at no cost
to the public.

Oil Dividends
At High Mark
I'm Past Year

Cash dividend payments on COM
mon stocks Of leading oil companies
this year win be the highest since
1871 and approximately 8 percent
above disbursements in 1912. The
peak year for common dividend
payments was 1887.
For "a companies Ga few are still
to act on year-end payments) 1t is
expected that cash dividends on
common stocks viii aggregate $685.
100000. This would compare with
$500, 600 600 distributed IN 1912 and
$287, 700, 900 paid out in 1887.
AS against this s percent higher
dividend distribution, net profits of
the oil industry in the first nine
months of this year ran approx
mately Is percent above the similar
period of 1912.
Five companies have voted larger
payments thus far in 1943, includ-
ing Ohio Oil, which will distribute
rs cents against so cents; Barnsdall,
80 cents against SO cents; Sicily,
$1.50 against ST. rs; Standard of Cali
fornia, So against $1.50, and Stand
ard of Indiana, $3.50 against SIPS.
Only one company in the group,
Underwater Associated Oil Co., is
paying less this year-60 cents
against 20 cents in 1942-although
its profits in the first nine months
showed an improvement over the
corresponding period in 1912.
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
voted the same rate as in 1912
So a share although it also pro-
vided for distribution of its invest
ment in Con. Natural Gas Co. "a
consolidated of five natural gas
companies which it owned), on the
basis of one share of Con. for each
10 shares of New Jersey held. It's
cash dividend will approximate
$55, 100000 this year, the largest in
the oil industry
