Syria and then Cynthia Lane. I'm
going to have a further talk with
him."
Have you found out yet whom
Syria was visiting in New Jersey?"
"No. We've circulated her picture
around plenty. The local newspaper
boys have been cooperative. He
smiled ruefully. "But so far all
we've netted has been three phone
calls from frantic housewives each
swearing that Syria's the hussy
their husbands ran off with"
"And Cynthia Lane! What about

other source. The only serious boy
friend we could dig out of her past
was a Russian scientist who's up
north near the pole, living on an ice
berg and can't be located before the
next thaw. She has no family"
"I'm sure she was shot because
she knew too much" Argus asserted.
He took out the picture of Cynthia
he had been carrying under his arm
and handed it to Grange. II wish
you'd inquire around Syria's build
ing and ask the elevator men if they
saw Miss Lane at any time on Mon
day, and if she went to Syria's pent-
house."
"Sure," said Grange, good -humor-
edly. ave aim to please. But why?"
Argus told him about the paint
on Cynthia's miax coat and also in
Syria's hallway.
Later at the Penguin Club, Argus
had just returned to the bar when
he heard a voice say: Hello, Mr..
Steele" He turned. Remember
me? I'm Donna Grey. ! had my
picture taken with you the other
day in Mr.. Flagg's office"
oh" said Argus. "Of course.
Will you have a drink"
I'm waiting for some one, but
yes, ! guess l will have one" She
was blonde, and had wide green
eyes and small, rosy mouth. Hon
estly, we've all been so upset about
what happened to Syria and Gym
thia."
Donna lowered her eyes so that
Argus could see the sweep Of her
long lashes. Syria had just gotten
her move contract "a and then to

Argus had ordered drinks. Eyes,

like that You being a detective

You couldn't have picked a more
sympathetic listener, my dear" said
Argus. The bartender set down the
drinks. Donna picked hers up and
slipped it, at the same time looking
deeply into the detectives eyes.
Just at that instant a familiar
voice said: well, if il isn't Sher-

You'd think sone Of the old guys
that come here would break their
necks getting in and out Of the
place." Grange said. "I've never
seen a man under seventy come out
of here"
A polite attendant met them Just
inside the hall Guests Of whom"
he asked.
"The city," said Grange, flashing
his badge. "Police!"
The attendant looked horrifed.
you must have the wrong place."
he said Nothing ever happens
here"
Argus looked past him into q
large room. Several old men were
doing over their papers.
81 can believe it." Grange said.
I'VE want to see your list of mem
bers."
"Living!" the attendant asked.
"You have some, ! presume"
Argus smiled.
The man looked at him with cool
regard. Certainly, sir. This way
please" He led them to a desk at
one end Of the long hall and spoke
to a man standing behind it. "Mr.
Higgins will get you the member
ship list"
Higgins produced q small green
book and handed it TO Grange. There
were about two hundred names
listed in small type. Argus watched
over his shoulder. When they came
to G., Oranges moving finger
stopped.
"Ah," he said. "william Car
stairs, ST., William Carstairs, Jr."
Grange turned to the man behind
the desk. "I'd like to keep this"
The man nodded.
Was Mr.. Carstairs, ST., in this
club on Monday night?" Argus
asked Higgins who, beckoned the
attendant and repeated the question.
why, yes, sir. Mr.. Carstairs was
here until about 1880. remember
| helped him on with his coat when
he left"
What time did he come ini"
Grange inquired.
Around seven, sir"
Incidentally" said Argus, "did
he make any phone calls?"
Just = minute, sir, and I'll find
out" He returned in q few minutes
with several slips. HE put in two
calls for the same number, but APP
parently the line was busy. The
operators written: Keep Trying"
T1l just copy the number and the
time" said Argus. The number
was EL-2-1296 and the time Of the
two calls, ten and eleven nine. He
recognized the number as Syria's.
How about young Carstairs?"
Grange asked.
mr.. Carstairs, Jr., has never
been in the club to my knowledge,
the attendant replied. His look of
distaste implied that young Car
stairs was not the sort of member
the Whitsun Club encouraged.
Where did Mr.. Carstairs 20
when he left here?"
I'm sure / don't know, SIR"
what do you make of it,"
Grange asked when they were out
side the club. Think Martinelli
knows Carstairs? I had heard that
the old boy is trying to get into
politics. OF course Dancer might
have just picked up those matches
from one Of his customers in his
club. just as he said"

Whats the phone got to do with

the machine he had found. "And

Anything else?" Grange asked
What did you find out yesterday
afternoon about the murder Of
Cynthia Lane?"
II talked to the bellboy who de-
hvered that message to Flagg. He
claims that a woman called him and
gave him the message. But he said
that her voice was peculiar and he
guessed that she had been crying.
So far / haven't been able to dis
cover whether any one saw Miss
Lane telephoning. She didn't use
the phone in her ROOM
And Derry Carstairs?"
I'VE had to let her go. As for

Where was he yesterday, when
Miss Lane was shot?"
"In an Office of q business friend.

Babson Park. Mass. May IS -
From a civilian point OF view the
tire situation is currently more
critical than the gasoline supply.
The production OF synthetic rub
Der will about equal. by the end
OF this year. our inventory OF ma
tural crude rubber, namely about
100000 tons. which was on hand
at the end OF l94l. Meanwhile all
natural rubber and most OF the
synthetic must go for military pur-
poses. The overall rubber supply
is now particularly acute. do.
however. believe that the end OF
our rubber shortage is in sight.
But do not think that tires for
civilians are just around the corn
err.
Natural Rubber Data
With all pre-Pearl Harbor
sources OF natural rubber shut of.
our major supply now comes from
the Island OF Ceylon In addition
some is coming out OF the revived
Amazon River Valley district. We
also are picking up little Mexican
Guayule and perhaps small
amount Of natural rubber from Bra
iii and from Africa. However,
with the exception OF Ceylon, the
great Middle East sources are ma
turally out until we lick Japan.
Our consumption OF natural rub
Der. and remember that 1t is all
for the military, is estimated at
100000 tons for 1914. This COM
pares with an all purpose use of
natural in l943 amounting to 340,-
900 tons and in 1912 to $4,000
tons. Our stock pile at the be
ginning OF the year was about $780,
900 tons with receipts estimated at
$4,000 tons. We will cut our in
ventory in half by the end OF 1914.
What About Synthetic?
The production Of synthetic rub
Der was slow in getting under way
but increased In 1943 from a Janu-
airy production OF 500 tons to a
December production Of $4,000
tons. The entire years work pro-
duced under $4,000 tons or about
one-half our total 1912 consump-
ton. Synthetic production capaci-
ty has expanded rapidly during
1914 and for March, 1914. reached
an annual output rate Of $4,000
tons. As plants are exceeding
their rated capacity. output should
progressively rise. | estimate for
the full year that about $4,000 tons
will be made.

sumption should look something
