The club manager chuckled.
"Beth's all right. Not what you'd

dog that bit Jim Calder. 1t was a
fox. Remember you suggested that

fox?"
Jack seemed momentarily not to
catch tie drift of this new subject.
Then he nodded brightly. yeah.
A fox! How in the world can they
tell"
"A guess" Aggie wondered il
he'd let out too much of the troop
er's information - or, rather, his
suspicion.
"Do they think-that Calder was
killed."
Aggie shrugged.
The other mans blue and slightly
wistful eyes grew cloudy. 81 hope
he was! If I'd known what Calder
was going to cause Dad to do-Pd
have shot him myself. Which shows
you that anybody-can kill a per-

Danielle was entering through
the French doors in the billiard
room. Aggie watched her. His an

imagine how you felt. Still-your
father shouldn't have done-what
he did. l mean--you made an ad-

He stumbled on his words. Here he
was, again laundering into embar-

Don't mean to hurt your feelings"
Jacks eyes shone. "It's okay,
Aggie. Sorry / popped it out"

He had not insulted her educa-

Aggie had shut his eyes. Sun fell
in slanted rays through the pines.

his beard moved with the impulsion
of a smile.

"Yeah? How"
Because he was carrying in that
car a silver fox with a collar. A
thing people would notice, hunh ?"
The troopers handsome face was
indulgent. And that brilliant de-
duction comes from what, doctor 2"
Deduction Nonsensel You

veranda rail and said to myself,
There's a dog / was sure Of it.
The beast saw my pipe smoke and
turned. No. / said to myself, it's
not a dog. It's a fox Then DR..
Davis came from Sarah's room and
! dumped the whole matter out of
my head. Well-I've thought back.
That fox had a collar on it."
"Collar"
"Yeah. He came down the road

wearing a collar. / must have seen

leather. So l thought of dog. Any
way, | remember he bad a collar.
Then he turned, and / saw it was a
fox, and erased the collar from my

Because I became certain it was a
fox, | assumed I'd been mistaken
about the collar. That's how people
think, Yves. At least-such loopy

life but it would hardly have come

the hand-then Bogarty carried it
into Calder's house"
"Or led it on a leash"
and they scrapped--and the
fox bit Calder-and got away"

water. One Of the boats was NOV

he will have the threatened strike OF steel
workers looked. into and urges the men in
this industry not to strike until every means
has been employed to settle their differences
with the industry's management on fair and
equitable basis. =5s.3
This would seem a reasonable way to re-
establish peace on the labor front. The legis'
lation he proposes Is not antagonistic to labor
ALI it would do is to set up obviously needed
controls and make it more difficult for labor
leaders to force union membership Into idle
ness against the majority wish.
While it is not apparent that his plans are
the best possible, ~ noted above, it would
seem that they have some merit because Of
the uproar they have created among labor
leaders, with Philip Murray, president Of the
CLIO, and William Green, head Of the ALL,
leading the chorus. The vigor with which they
have voiced opposition to Mr.. Humans pro-
gram is 4 sign that he may have hit on,
remedy.
Meanwhile because reconversion is so serl-
ously delayed, it can only, be hoped that Con-
gress wastes no time in adopting legislation
which will put a stop to the strikes which
raise such a roadbleck In the way to peace.

Case For Arbitration

Refusing to admit that the differences which
have led to war between Chinese communist.
and the Central Government headed by Chang
Kai-shek are beyond peaceful settlement, gen
eral Yeh Chien-ying, chief Of staff Of the Com

that if complete break comes, the commun
lists are prepared to fight for ten years.
The General declared the communists still
propose to attend 4 peace conference in
if both sides come into the conference with
open minds there is good prospect for peace
full agreement. Failing this he repeated, the
communists are prepared for full-nedged war
and its fighting would not depend on outside
aid.

was the thought in leading capitals that back

nlent, that its untold resources could be utiliz-
ed not only for that continents benefit but
the benefit Of the entire world. As the chief

China was looked upon not As 4 country ripe
for exploitation but A. 4 potential leader
among the great powers It still has its raw
materials, its vast resources, but II 1t be-
comes involved in war for n decade, its devel-
opment will be long delayed and much Of Its

communists have played an important part in
the war against the Japanese and in many
ways are more advanced than the people in
other sections of China. Their side Of, the quar-

What seems to be needed in this crisis is
for both sides to agree to the establishment
Of an arbitration board, composed Of neutral
