JULIA led the way, going into
- her bedroom and closing the
door. She seated herself in front
of the dressing table and began to
repair her makeup as she had
done on that fatal night so short
a time ago. The Inspector wasn't
even here if something should
happen to her, she thought. In
fact, all evidences of the law
seemed to have mysteriously van
ished. But somehow she wasn't
afraid. She had an anti-climatic
feeling as if something had missed
fire.
She pressed her fingers against
her temples. She could be sorry
for Robey now. She hadn't been
able to understand him because
he was really reflection of those
he gathered around him, taking
credit for what they did without
deserving it. He was strange to
want those empty honors when
they had not been earned. How
could there be any satisfaction
without pride of ACCOMPLISHMENT,
Without warning the lights
went out.
Far off there was a cry. She
sat stiffly. her hands still raised
to her temples. The room was
pitch black. The curtains had
been drawn and not even a faint
light came from the court. She
heard a door open softly and
close again.
''Who is it?" she asked. her
hands grasping the edge of the
table.
There was no answer. She
opened her mouth to scream and
gloved hand closed over it. She
pulled frantically at it with her
fingers and bit into the glove with
her teeth. A blow on the back of
her head made her droop Imply
but a dim consciousness re-
manned. She was lifted by her
waist and the rhinestone belt cut
into her flesh. Cool moist air
! touched her face and arms and
she tried to raise her head. It was
too great an effort. The arm
about her suddenly frightened.
She heard a humble and then
more distinctly
eff you shoot I'll drop her. I've
only to take my arm away"

QUT Jerry was staring as in
~ credulously as the others at
this revelation of another murder
in their mystery. 1t was Steinway
whose eyes were narrowed to
slit and was The one OF them all
who was frightened by her words.
They pounded her with ques-
tons but she didn't tell them any
more.
81 don't see that gets us any
farther" objected Frank at last,
except that the piece Robey had
must be what the search has been
on for. You should have told us
that before, Julie"
Jerry dropped a cigarette that
was burning his fingers into his
stale drink. eff the police learn
that they'll really plow into US"
That's what l thought and
that's why / kept still so long,
Frank" she lied by implication.
Apparently they interpreted
her as meaning she had not told
the police.
"Now, Jerry, I think you
should explain that it was Hank
who rescued me for Robey and
about the fourth Mrs. Baker"
His glance swept over her and
followed around the room. He
made both incidents important
but they were not surprised any
more about others doing things
for Robey-it was the fourth Mrs.
Baker that intrigued them.
"She didn't show up" Virginia
said. "Wait-maybe she did. May
be she's the one. That would
make everything fit perfectly and
none of us needs to be the guilty
person. No one even knows her
name except it is just Mrs
Baker and probably not THAI
legally. When she found out he'd
tricked her she losses him out the
window"
"And what if she's the woman
in the morgue?" objected Grace
but she spoke with an infection
that carried relief.
Even so, she might have COM
mitteed suicide" Wandell said.

SPEAKING ABOUT CRIME

Just off-hand, and without great
thought, we would say that one of the caus-
eS for the criminal record of the United
States is the evident belief of most Ameri-
cans that the laws of the land are made
for the other fellow.
The general suspicion that many en-
lnent leaders in all communities are allow
ed to get off without prosecution is not en-
tirely moonshine. Whenever a criminal
comes from the so-called influential class
his relatives, friends and business connec-
lions begin to work to minimize his punish
ment, or to secure unjust probation and
suspended sentence, revealing the attitude
of this class of people. They do not be-
lieve that their folks should be punished
for crime-not if they know the proper
officials.

In Cincinnati the Sons of the Ameri-

The medals are not given for race, or

or for religion. 1t makes no difference

CAR PETRILLO

American radio stations HdNe O00h
prohibited from broadcasting musical pro-
Grams originating in any foreign country
except Canada by James C. Petrillo, presl-
dent Of the American Federation OF Mu-
sicians.
While we are glad, as rule, to sup
mort the legitimate activities of labor
unions. we do not hesitate to denounce the
nkase OF Mr.. Petrillo and to assert that II
ORGANIZED labor attempts to follow the eX-
ample set by the American Federation OF
Musicians the people of this country VIII
rise up in wrath and do irreparable damage
10 the cause of organized labor.
Mr.. Petrilo has taken the position that
whenever a radio station plays music, which
originates in another place, it should have
standby musicians. This means that
Station. to broadcast any music, must en-
plov musicians to sit around and draw pay
without having to do any work. In brief,
the union levies tribute upon the broad
casting of music in order to pension its
members.
Ii may be asserted that the radio sta
tons are able to pay the demands made by
Mr.. PetrillO in behalf of his organization.
This is beside the point. The evying of
toll upon any advanced process for the
benefit of nOn-wOrkers would, in the long
run. irreparably retard the acceptance of
new and improved inventions.
The only excuse for the PetrillO de-
inland is that the union thinks it can coerce
radio stations and others who use music
i Il. h., 10 bo
the stations will surrender.
To illustrate how the system could
work. let us imagine that somebody de-
velOped new process for the construction
of homes and that it cut down the labor
required by fifty per cent. Suppose that,
Immediately, the carpenters, brlcklayers,
plastererS etc. demanded that before the
new process could be used, the builder of
the house would have to pay tolls to their
unions in order to provide them with sal
aries regardless of the fact that they were
not working.
In brief, any person who wanted to
construct building would have to pay toll
TO idle labOrers. The result would be that
the new process, reducing the cost of con-
struction, would inure to the benefit of or
ganized labor and not to the public gen.
orally
The same facts apply to any other i'm
proved process or invention. Every mod
ern machine, designed to produce anything,
cuts the cost of production by reducing the
labor expense. When the price of the prod
uct is reduced, distribution is enlarged and
the prOduct becomes available to p LARGER
number of people.
This improves the standard of living
generally and enhances the general well
fare. but the process would be completely
halted if the Petrillo scheme of levying
toll is permitted OF eat up the economies of
inventions and improved techniques offered
TO the people of this country.

went to see if he were awake. She
could not rouse him and called Am
baSsador Ala, who, also failing to
rouse DR.. Daftary, called a physi-
clan. The Chevy Chase and Bethesda
rescue squads were summoned and
DR.. Daftary was given oxygen, but
to no avail. He was pronounced
dead by DR.. F. j. Broschart, Mont
gomery County medical examiner.
DR.. Daftary was first assigned to
this country in 1889 when he was
sent as charge d'affaires to reopen
the Iranian Legation, which had
been closed since March, 1896, after
the arrest of the then Iranian Min
lister, Ghaffar Djalar, by Elkton
(Md) police in traffic case.
DR.. Daftary was made counselor
when Ambassador Ala came to
Washington. He had attended the
early meetings of the United Ma
tions Security Council in New York
with the Ambassador.
Formerly on the stats of the Min
istry of Justice and the Minister of
Foreign Affairs in his country, DR..
Daftary had also been on his coun-
try's diplomatic staffs in several
countries. He was lawyer and had
studied at universities in France and
Germany.
In addition to his Wodow, he is
survived by son, Janshid, and a

Everybody knows the Weather
Man and his cohorts do not de-
termine what it's going to be like
tomorrow by tossing a coin, drawing
straws or examining the entrails of
a sacred chicken, but with all his
gadgets, charts and indicators, no.
body-except his boss-knows just
how good the forecaster is at guess
ing the weather prospects.
Like all Monday morning quarter
backs, we propose to check up on
the local oracle scientifically. We
will use a system. Each day we
will look at yesterdays forecast and
peep out the Office window to see if
the Weather Man is on the beam or
off his feed.
We have purposefully made it
tough on the forecaster by selecting
the months of April and May-very
tough months to predict in, as any
meteorologist will tell you. More peo-
pie are likely to wear brand-new
skimmers, or polish the old gas buggy
this time of the year, which, con-
sequently means it will probably
rain lot. And even if the weather
boys suspect the town is in for a
drenching, he might well be pretty
much up a tree about just when
Jupe Pluvius intends to start per-
forming.
Box Score to Be Kept.
After we have decided whether
the forecast was right or wrong for
each particular day, it will be re-
corded, box-score style, as a win or
a loss. We will figure out the fore
casters batting average each day
|. with the help Of one Of the
