The girl jumped Of the platform
and disappeared into the dressing
room, as another took her place.

with an oval face and very white
skin. She was wearing a dress OF
gold lame that chung tightly to her
figure. Paul helped her up on the
platform.
"I'd like to paint her." Grange
whispered. "She's a honey!"
The corner where Argus and the
Inspector were standing was dark,
and so far they had remained un-
observed. The Gamers man had his
back to them most of the time and
the model, though facing them, was
staring into the bright lights. She
too had taken her seat on the dais,
and, pulling up the hem of her eve
ming gown TO . point above the
knee, she thrust one stockinged limb
outward and posed in the act of
fastening her garter.

SYNOPSIS

A mysterious assassin cut short
The gay career of Syria Verne,
artists model, just a. she was an
swering the telephone in her pent-
house apartment to which she had
returned soon after midnight fol-
lowing 4 quarrel with Pierre Stur-
gis, art photographer. The police
could hnd no gun, significant finger
prints, nor other evidence of an in
truder. The evening of the murder,
she had met an old friend, Argus
Steele, author and former detec-
tive, in the Penguin Club where
he was dining with Ellen Curtis,
4 model. Syria left. accompanied
by Sturgis. Bill Carstairs, III,
playboy, introduced his latest
blonde, Dorry, to Ellen and Argus.
Later, Ellen found Dorry in the
ladies' room, weeping because her
Bill was phoning that awful Syria
Verne again." Ellen noticed a snub-
nosed revolver in Dorry's open
purse -. Next morning, Ellen
phoned Argus to tell him that Syria
had been murdered. Police Inspec-
tor Grange visited Steele as the
investigation got under way. Later,
Ellen introduced Argus to Roger
Flagg m the latter's model agency.
Flagg invited Argus to examine
his Office files and Ellen showed
Argus the routine and records of
the model agency. They note Syria's
chart; she had four appointments
for that day, n of them with
Pierre Sturgis. They agreed to
meet later at a fashion show. After
leaving .Flagg's Beauty shop" Ar
gus goes with Inspector Grange to
the Pierre Sturgis studio where
they are watching q dazzling ho-
siery model pose.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
The assistant camerAman, Paul,
was a short fellow. He was in his
shirt sleeves and was staring at the
girl through the ground glass in the
camera.
"Turn your face a little more TO
the right" he commanded. That's
1t. Now that left hand, can't you
make it more graceful?" The girl
aexed a bare arm and tried another
posture.
"No, not like that. You haven't

menti"
The blonde Strengthened up, in
dignantly, and put her hands on her
hips.
Don't bark at me like that, Paul!
I'll get and spoil your shot.
How's this?" Again she reached over
and grasped the top of her stocking
with both hands. She was a vision
of loneliness, Argus thought Beads

Hit.Run Driver
Kills Workman
RoseviIls Police
Seek Brutal Driver

ROSEVILLE-Police officers
today were continuing their
search for hit-run driver
whose car fatally injured a So
year old Clinton township war
worker early Sunday morning
as the victim and three compan-
ions stood by the roadside, near
Gratiot avenue repairing pune
tured tire.
The victim, Hillard Batey, of
4467 Harding avenue, died
following the accident after he
had been rushed to Saratoga
hospital in Detroit.
Police Chief Walter Kimmer-
ley, of Roseville, said that one
of the dead mans companions,
William Ross, of 4120 Maynard,
in whose car Batey had been a
passenger, had told how the
four occupants stood alongside
the car on 10 Mile road, off
Gratiot, IT about l a. m. Sunday
working on a flat tire. Ross
said, the chief pointed out, that
a westbound car, travelling at
a high rate of speed, sideswiped
the parked car, pinning Batey
to the wreckage. The other
three men succeeded in jumping
clear only after Samuel Thomp-
son, of st. Clair Shores who was
with them, shrilled warning
when he glimpsed the approach
ing car.
Batey, the police officer said,
evidently did not have suffi-
cient time in which to clear the
path of the car.
The four men In Ross ma
chine were all homeward bound
from a Detroit war plant when
the tragedy occurred.
Officers are on the lookout
for a light sedan, possibly a
Chevrolet or a Plymouth, which
may prove to be the hit-run We

In the wake Of the phenome-
nal growth of Macomb county's
industrial area with its influx Of
thousands of strangers follows
the problem of maintaining a
high standard of public health.
Huge armament factories have
sprung up where only a few
years ago stood barren fields.
The influx of workers necessary
to man these plants has created
& serious housing shortage and
crowded living conditions have
posed problem for public
health authorities.
The gap left by the shortage
of physicians and nurses is be-
ing filled by the Visiting Nurse
Association. The primary func-
ton of this organization is to
provide nursing service to fam
lilies in their homes, more inn
portant than ever since the
shortage of hospital beds and
personnel.
The Southern Macomb Branch
of the Visiting Nurse ASsocia-
ton under the direction of Alice
Hagelshaw is located in East
Detroit. With a staff of eight
registered and specially trained
nurses, this branch of the De-
troit organization administers
home care, school care, physical
and occupational t h er a p y
throughout the southern part OF
the county.
A HUMAN STORY
Behind the statistics there is a
human story which illustrates
dramatically what the visiting
nurse has meant in the homes of
the county's residents.
The visiting nurse knows her
families intimately. On materni-
ty service, the nurse considers
the effect of the new baby on
the whole family, not just the
mother, and directs her prenatal
and postnatal education accord
ingly. In war production area
like Macomb county, homelife
has undergone vast changes
Family routine has been inter
rupted by the employment Of
male members on graveyard
and swing shifts; many mothers
are working. Prcgnancies have
increased heavily among wives
of war workers Into this inten-
sified situation the visiting
nurse must bring the benefit OF
her health teaching.
The industrial area Is dotted
with trailer camps and housing
projects. Some accommodations
