NEW YORK IA woman was
knitting in her Ohio home one
afternoon, her dog doing at her
feet. when she heard her mothers
voice. 1t was incredible. Her
mother was in Massachusetts.
Suddenly there was a loud
crash, as if a pane of glass had
shattered. The dog ran frantically
around the living room, barking
and whining. The maid, ironing in
the basement. heard the voice and
the crash. She rushed upstairs Ia
help search the house. Everything
was in order.
Later the woman learned that
her mother had suffered a stroke
a, that hour and died shortly after
ward.
Many persons hear such . story
with skepticism. There is an in-
clination to dismiss anything that
science cannot explain.
But In a cleaning white building
on New York's upper Fifth Avenue
are the offices Of an organization
which does not lightly dismiss the
strange, the incredible experience.

Chapter Is

= IMBAUD went into the house,
N took his gun off the bed, and
examined its loads. Holstering
the BuntIine, he wondered how
soon he would have to use il
against Roman Four riders.
They'd be after him in day or
two, he supposed; this evening,
perhaps. Thinking how it had
been yesterday, with Hugh Jubal
kicking dirt into his face, Rim
baud muttered, ''They won't catch
me again"
They might shoot him, but
they'd never take him alive.
He cooked meal, and ate it,
and sat at the kitchen table for
a long time, his ears alert to out
side sounds while he thought
about Eve.
He was thinking when the
sound of walking horse reused
him to instant alertneSs. He drew
his gun and stepped over to the
doorway and could barely believe
his eyes. For Lew Stromberg was
riding into the yard. And he was
alone.
Hating his horse and raising
his right hand palm forward,
Stromberg called, as my daugh-
ter in that cabin?"
No." Rimbaud said.
Stromberg peered at him In
silence for long moment, his
black eyes squinted against the
yards bright sunlight. Finally he
said, Hugh Jubal says she was
here after midnight, and run him
off with gun"
"So?" unused Rimbaud, under
standing now that he hadn't
dreamed about the voices. He
knew also how great a debt he
owed Della for driving off the
Roman Four jackals. He fiinched.
thinking what would have hap
pened II she hadn't been here to
drive them off. With two ribs al
ready broken, he would have
been q sorry mess when they fin
ished a second 60 at him.
Stromberg rode up to within a
few feet of the stoop. He asked,
"You sure she amt here?"
When Rimbaud nodded. Lew
asked, when did she leave?"
Recognizing the trap in that
question, Rimbaud said, II didn't
say she was here"
Stromberg glanced at the cor
raj, then said, 1--WE got some
news for YOU" and started to dis
mount.

Rimbaud said sharply. He stepped
over to Stromberg and took his
gun. Ejecting the loads, he re-
turned it to Stromberg's holster

Small Business
Man Has MANY
Analysts Now
By SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK III The small busi-
nessman has his troubles-and a
number Of people are busy today
analyzing them.
He has special problems, it
seems, whether times are bad or
booming, whether he's working on
a shoestring or going like a house
afire. If his competitors aren't aft
er him, the tax man is.
In a general business slump,
the small business with a short
age of liquid assets may have a
harder time surviving than the
big corporation. Even when times
are good the chances of business
failure most often dog the smaller
firms door.
In its review Of the causes of
1911 business failures in 1852,
Dun's review finds 81 per cent
came from incompetence or lack
of experience in handling sales,
receivables, inventories or compe-
tition. Failures with liabilities un.
der SIS 200 are more than double
those in the upper brackets.
Even in boom times, the small
businessman has more trouble
managing his plant, getting and
keeping good help, and raising
working capital-according to the
American Institute of Manage
ment.
And if he succeeds and starts
making real money-the National
Association of Manufacturers re-
ports today-the small business.
man is the more likely to run
into the clutches Of the tax col
lector. Excess profit taxes are paid
by many more small businessmen
than large, NAM says.
A survey of 1000 manufacturing
companies, NAM says, shows 1853
subject to the tax. Almost so per
cent fall into the governments of
fetal definition Of q small bust
ness as one employing 500 or fewer
persons.
The tax is based on average
earnings for the three best years
Of 1916 through 1949. Five-sixths of
this amount is considered normal
and taxed the regular 81 per cent
rate. All above this normal amount
is called excess profit and taxed
at So per cent-but with an over
all limit on total taxes of 10 per
cent Of earnings.
NAM says its survey shows that
43 per cent of the companies pay
ing the tax hire between 100 and
500 persons, and So per cent hire
less than 100. NAM says this Is
because smaller companies going
through a period of normal growth
naturally show larger earnings
now than in the 1869 period.
good executives and workers
are often harder 10 find and to
Good executives and workers
are often harder to find and to
hold in the face Of competition
from big companies, the study
points out.
The small business could copy
some present big business prac-
tees with profit, the Institute con-
tends. Many small firms fail to
grow because they. don't study
these methods and adapt them to
their own needS--Such business
aids as research and product de-
velopment, cost accounting, depre-
citation and equipment policies and
corporate structure.
But the study notes that in spite
of this, the mere fact of survival
of so many small firms is evil
dence of outstanding business apti-
tude on the part of the owners.
