She got up. Argus grunted and
reached for the pencil.
Ellen was standing before the
mirror in the ladies room, applying
her lipstick when Carstairs' little
blonde swayed in. Her hat leaned
tipsily over one side of her head,
and her golden curls were mussed.
Her eyes were tear-stained. She
almost fell as she came up to Ellen.
You'd better go home" Ellen
told her. Derry steadied herself by
siding up to a wash stand. She
started to open her purse and then
dropped it. Ellen stopped TO pick it
up. AS she did so, the bag swung
open. Ellen gasped. A snub-nosed
revolver lay buried in its satin
folds. She stared at it for a second,
then hastily snapped the bag shut
and handed it back to Derry.

Argus was getting his hat and
coat when Ellen joined him and
asked, Where's Carstairs ?"
"Why?"
Ellen told him quickly.

said. "Come on, it's none Of our af-

Syria Verne, de luxe model, was
the victim of fatal bullet fred as
she answered the telephone in her
penthouse apartment to which she
returned soon after midnight fol-
lowing a quarrel with Pierre Stur-

author and erstwhile detective, 10
reconstructing the events of the
evening before. He and his friend,
Ellen Curtis. a model, were in the
swank Penguin Club. During a
brief absence of Ellen. Syria had
entered and was greeted by Argus
as an old friend, the one-time Lucy
Callahan who sang in the fearsome
Dancer Martinelli's cafe. She an
nounced that she had signed Hoi-
lywood contract recently. Soon
they were Joined by Ellen and
Pierre Sturgis. As Syria and Pierre
were about to leave, the former
asked Argus to phone her, adding
in a whisper: II may need your
help" Ellen told Argus that she
had overheard "a sallow looking
little man" threaten Syria outside
the Pierre Sturgis studio. From the
bar comes Bill Carstairs, III, play
boy, who introduces his current
blonde, Derry. They are discus
sing detective work with Argus.
CHAPTER FOUR
The waiter came up to take the
order. Argus spoke to him briefly.
HAS any one ever committed the
perfect crime" Carstairs asked.
There have been a few unsolved
crimes, if that's what you mean, "
said Argus.
IF you can't solve 'em they must
be perfect" grumbled Bill.

hating another enough to want to

looked enormous in her thin face.
II guess people get pretty des-
perate sometimes" remarked Ellen.

She glanced at Carstairs.

"don't you think we'd better go
have dinner? I'm feeling a little

II think maybe I'd better feed

"Glad to have met you two. See you
later. Come on, Redhead." He led
Ellen into the restaurant section of
the club, beyond the bar. Ellen
nodded to several model friends as
they we're conducted TO a table.
When they were seated, she scanned
the menu.

Remember, it's on the house"
Two hours later they had finished
a dinner which had begun with Bel
uga caviar and ended with crepes
suzettes. Argus sat back with a
satisfied expression on his face and
asked for the check. Then he
started feeling in his pockets for
the card his friend had given him.
His coat pockets, his vest pockets
and finally his trouser poekets-all
failed to yield the prize.
Don't tell me you've lost i'll"
Ellen declared, laughing.

I EFT us refresh our memories.
~ We have forgotten too
much. We have been over
whelmed by speeches, articles.
proclamations, d G b s. and
even by political campaigns.
We cannot remember every
thing that has been said or
that has happened.
We are a frightened people
today. Often the President has
said that we have nothing to
fear but fear; but we are afraid.
We are afraid for our sons; we
are afraid TOR our country.
We now know that we do not
know what We are fighting for.
Let us be frank; that is the
meaning OK Churchil's speech
on Poland and Roosevelt's denial
of his own Atlantic Charter.
So. let us 60 back to the be-
ginning. Let us go back TO
the start of things.
Germany invaded Poland and
the world went 10 war. In
August, 1889, Russia and Ger
many concluded three agree
ments.
David ]. Dallin In his book,
Soviet Russia's Foreign
Policy" notes this as a COM
mercial agreement, the nom
aggression pact, and a secret
agreement.
These agreements came TO be
known TO the world as the
Stalin-Hitler alliance. They
made Germany's attack on Po-
land, Holland, Belgium. France.
England, Denmark and Norway
possible.
IT IS considered wrong 10 talk
Il about this now that Russia
and the United States are allies.
1t is regarded as harmful TO the
war. But the truth can never
be wrong-no matter what the
truth may be.
And the truth OF this matter
lies not in present rationaliza-
tons, but in an historic view Of
what occurred and why il &C.
Cured. Why did Stain join
with Hitler in making this war
possible
The answer lies in what Is
happening today in Finland. Po-
land. Romania, Bulgaria, Yugo-
slavia and even Greece.
II lies in a continuation Of
policy-a policy that justified
the Stalin-Hitler alliance, the
breach Of that pact, the war be-
tween Russia and Germany and
the present character of this
war, particularly in the over
tones of revolution in Greece,
Italy and Belgium.
Dallin's book was published in
1912; he was then attacked by
American Communists as con-
cocting falsehoods. But his de-
scription of RuSsia's aims, as
included in the Stalin-Hitler al
lance published by the Yale

1T indicates you are a
highly suggestible person, and
not as independent and decisive
a personality as you should be.
OF course, you are always at a
disadvantage because the sales
man has his speech prepared.
1t takes, therefore, as every
salesman knows, a strong, posi-
tive personality TO say no, and
defeat him.
2-If they are deeply in love,
they do their best not to hear
anything against him, and IL
they do hear damaging reports,
they tell themselves il is not
true. But if they are unhappily
married they are eager to get
anything on him they can, and
report IL to him with full de-
tails-enlarged. This is a pretty
good test as to whether or not
you are still in love.

TIIIS dieting by men To take

new thing. Years ago, If gen.
tlemen wished to shed poundage
at all, they sweated IL off by
exercise and by other methods.
Only the DANES dieted. Now
it is quite fashionable among
the gents, especially those who
have reached an age where they
-are-dead- pigeons from a-ro--
mantle standpoint and who need
figures like Rockefeller needs
eight dollars.
I differentiate between dieters
for organic reasons, like poor
Jimmy Durante, whom I told
you about the other day, and
dieters who yearn to tie their
shoe laces again, like Mr.. Indy.
1t seems to me a waste of
energy and money for them to
spend half their lives packing
on suet and then peeling it off
by denying themselves the fine
fodder they have learned to
enjoy.
