CHICAGO NEW YORE BOSTON Set for Action on Slope Need ‘The main point about the action of the Lions zone meeting in Dickinson proposing that Charles Phelan be made the next state highway commission appointee— that the Missouri Slope can have representation the same, ‘as the other sections of North Dakota—is that it revealed the Slope united in cooperation on the matter of getting its territory opened up with the rest of the state by im- proved roads. The Lions are not going after the appointment merely to get the office. It is a business proposal with the clubs. ‘They have gone into the towns of the Slope and organ- ized them as much for community good as for any other form of welfare coming within the scope of their code of ethics. In the southwestern section the lack of com- munication when the highways are not in good condition (mpressed itself on them as the crying need of these counties. Eager to find an activity by which they could advance the interests and development of the towns along the Milwaukee railroad, they adopted highway improvement as their major item. In a way the relation- ship of the Lions to these communities is that of a civic organization. These smaller towns do not have commer- tial clubs or chambers of commerce and same do not even have @ community club, so it has fallen to the lot of the Lions to function in these capacities. ‘That is why the Dickinson zone meeting took the ac- tion it did—it led off a movement for the good of the Slope and even for the whole state, and all cooperation will be welcomed in advancing the project. ‘The main objective with the clubs is to get the roads. The place on the board is desired merely that the Slope mey have “a friend at court”. The whole object will be almost attained by improving one or two links. The Sakakawea trail has been suggested as one. This would bring Bowman, Hettinger and Mott into year-round communication with Bismarck and Mandan. Dickinson has proposed another link by way of New England. These proposals can be adjusted and the projects placed in the state highway commission’s program in another year or so. They can not be jgken up too soon. Last winter a it pf Hettinger brought his wife! here for an operation. in @ local hospital. Owing to bad: highways they had to travel by rail to Miles City and from there to Bismarck, then return the same way. The railroad fares cost them $70. To have come by car over the highway through Mott, Flasher and Mandan would have involved the expenditure of $6.36 for gasoline. This is a sample instance of proof that something should be done to provide a highway into the isolated southwest section that will furnish communication to the hub of the Slope, and that is the twin cities of Bismarck ‘and Mandan. A Road to the Future You might just keep your eye on the California motor caravan that is touring south through Mexico, attempt- ing to blaze an auto highway from British Columbia to Buenos Aires. That highway, so far, exists chiefly on paper. There Bre enormous gaps in it, and it will cost millions to fill them. But they will be filled eventually, and the com- pleted highway will be # tremendously important thing dor everybody concerned. . Some day, beyond doubt, you yourself will be making ‘that trip in your own car—you and thousands of your fellow citizens. You will get a magnificent outing, and ‘the Latin nations through which you tour will get a new prosperity and a new understanding of this country. Everybody concerned will be benefited greatly. Where Is Spring? With the sun's etlipse out of the way, maybe we will get spring. There is a real and insistent protest the nation over because that fickle visitor due these weeks seems to be lurking always just around the corner. Few people worry over “Will winter come?” But there are millions still in “their heavies” who are yearning for spring, the kind Chaucer wrote about that puts the drought of March to flight and causes all na- ture to burst into glory and warm sunshine. \ It has been a long hard winter and now comes a rather unseasonable prelude to summer—we won't call it spring. Orchardists in the East complain of damage from sub- freezing weather, yet there is still hope that the apples, cherries afd plums can hold out if spring will only come | di oon. ~~ Better Times for Haiti Eugene Roy has been unanimously elected as tempor- ary president of Haiti, and his election indicates that the new regime outlined by President Hoover's commission is soing to go into effect without a hitch. It is good news. Roy is to serve until next fall, when a regular popular flection can be held. Borno, evidently, is through—and his downfall probably will cause little regret. The way now is clear for the Haitians to erect a real, responsive government that will serve the nation and not a clique. ‘No one will be any happier to see this than Uncle Sam, who has spent a lot of money and quite a few lives in Haiti and has mighty little to show for it in the way of material advantages, For Perfumed Streets ‘The bright ideas of some of our foreign visitors certain- ty do provide a fillip for the imagination, now and then. | Prairie boy One George Klotz, a Parisian perfumer, visiting New ‘York, comes to bat with the following gem: ‘The famous sidewalks of New York, says M. Klots, | legitimate successor emell badly. Why, therefore, should not the city install not New York, but the stockyard district of Chicago. If the scheme works there it is the inspiration of the cen- tury. Sees Dispersal of Big Cities Just as everybody had come to the conclusion that the small hamlets were dying off and census returns had been revealing drops in the population to bear out this assumption, comes a view that something rather the re- verse is impending and that the large cities are more likely to be taken apart and their people relocated. ‘The view is built up around the relative decline of the steam engine and the newer adaptation of gas and elec- tricity. Those who are studying the future trend of pop- ulation to shift point out that the large city was the product of that industrial revolution caused by the com- ing of the steam engine, while gas and electricity, mak- ‘00 | ng Possible in the country all the conveniences of the city, inevitably will draw people from the town, disperse them over the rural sections and make the landscape all over again. This, at any rate, is the theory suggested by Dr. Gus Dyer, professor of political economy at Vanderbilt uni- versity, as outlined by him in a speech before the Execu- tives’ club of Chi¢ago recently. The last 20 years, says Dr. Dyer, have seen a miracle wrought in America by the new application of gas and electricity to industry. “It has destroyed isolation,” he says. “It has brought all America out on the great highways of life. It is tak- ing everything worth seeing and hearing from the cities and carrying it to remote sections. It is destroying the reasons why people should go to the cities to live. “Industries are going back to the country and the small town. The cities have the greatest fight they ever had if they are to hold their places under the new order. The small place has advantages for industry that the city can hardly meet. The cities have got to make a readjustment, recognize a new force.” As @ prophet, Dr. Dyer may be less than infallible. His prophecy is interesting, just the same. We have been calmly assuming that the present drift of population to- ward the cities is going to continue indefinitely; what | , an upset is in prospect if this flow is presently to be re- versed! His thesis does not sound unreasonable, either. A visit to any one of the half dozen largest’ cities in this land is about enough to convince any unprejudic observer that a great city, in many ways, is not @ very place to live. Year by year the congestion grows more un- bearable, the noise and dirt grow more oppressive, the time that must be spent in the mere process of getting to and from work lengthens and lengthens. New York is already giving indications that it is just a trifle too big for any earthly use. Chicago is beginning to dis- play the same symptoms. And some other cities are not far behind. After all, why not? We have gone just a little bit too far in our deification of the big city. The genuinc ad- vantages that come from living in a smaller place tend to get overlooked. If Dr. Dyer is right, and a wholesale splitting up of our cities is in prospect, we are in.for some enormous, sur- prising changes. But perhaps we shall be better off, in the long run. ‘ Steamship companies are gravitating to mergers as are the railway corporations. Competition has been al- most destructive of profits. | Editorial] Comment | ‘Who’s Hoodlum in Chicago’ (Washington Post) In a land where the libel laws are still on the books, the Chicago Crime commission has selected twenty-eight men for listing under the caption “Who's Hoodlum in Chicago” and has branded them as “public enemies, who “should be treated accordingly.” Yet the action of the crime commission, taken against citizens presumably innocent unger the law, will be accepted as merely another interesting if unimportant development in a city that recently gave to the world the news that its leading gangsters, following the industrial trend, had decided; upon a merger in the interest of peace, bigger and better crime and vice. s No one suspects that “Scarface Al” Capone, “Bugs’ Moran, “Polack Joe” Saltis, Terry Druggan or Joc Aiello, solid citizens in this land of the free and the brave, will resent the publication of their names, virtual- ly listing them as outlaws with @ price upon their heads, to the extent of going to court and asking thet some- thing be done about it. To them the crime commission is merely another “racket” in a world of rackets. They probably ask, “Well, what of it?” And so do we all. “Who's hoodlum” in Chicago has been known so well and so long that the crime commission’s confirmation of the candidates becomes a picturesque but futile gesture unless it is to be followed up with unceasing barrages of publicity that note the comings and goings of the members and the activities of their clans, with a sharp contrast developed against a background of in- activity and disinterestedness on the part of the people ‘and the law. If the crime commission can make goldfish of these fellows by putting them in an aquarium of publicity, something may be done after all. California and North Dakota (Minneapolis Tribune) California is not improving its standing in North Da-/ kota. It is claiming James W. Foley, North Dakota poet —whose right to the mantle of James Whitcomb Riley and Eugene Field is nationally recognized—because he is now editor of the Pasadena Evening News. That is enough to start a sizable prairie fire in both the Dakotas, for both of them have preferred claims. Certainly it will rouse righteous and justified indigna- tion from Fargo to Beach and from Bowbells to Oakes in the state where school children annually honor the poet's birthday. Out in the Medora country where Mr. Foley's boyhood days were spent it is sufficient to cause a lot of bandy- legged gentlemen to saddle up their “hawses” and ride forth upon a round-up of facts that will silence this | open libel upon one of the favorite sons of the land of wide-open spaces. It will sit ill staid professors 3. upon of the University of South Dakota, who feel CE ipiield interest in “Jimmy” since his mandolin-plt college lays. In the lobby of Bismarck hotels where North Dakota pioneers gather in the evening hours to exchange reminiscences and live again in memory it will be esteemed nothing short of an outrage. In North Dakota’s editorial sanctums it will meet that prompt and.straightforward rebuke which it merits. Every club woman ‘in North Dakota will treat the sug- gestion with that haughty disdain that is its due and there will be resolutions at the very first meeting. There will be sermons from a score of pulpits stressing the vir- tue of humility and attacking the complexes that have afflicted California since the advent of Hollywood. His Greatest Treasure! TO | Today Is the | Anniversary of | CO MACHIAVELLIS BIRTH On May 3, 1469, Niccolo Machia- velli, an Italian historian and states- man, was born in Florence, Italy. At the age of 29 he became first secretary of the Ten—a gov or- ganization—and held the position for 14 years. His experience on errands of diplomacy gave him an excellent opportunity to study the business of government, which was to influence his later writings. ‘When the republic was overthrown by the Medici, Machiavelli was put to torture and banished for a year. On his return to Florence he turned to writing politics. His chief works were “The Prince” and the “Discourses,” and what he set forth in them has been adopted, to some extent at least, by political science today. He insist- ed that in politics it was right to de- ceive to accomplish a purpose. He is wrongly criticized for his cynical maxims in these works, but they rep- resent his deductions from facts act- ually acquired by close study. He had little faith in aristocracies. He was the first to present the idea of @ United Italy and he showed in “The Prince” how that could be brought about. As one historian has said, Machiavelli has “taught the | world to understand political despot- ism and to hate it.” oo | Quotations | aS “In all sports there is the element of hazard, but in none of them does! it enter to the same extent as in the sporting side of aviation—Brigadier General William Mitchell, former commander of the United States air forces. see “Personally I feel that communists jhave made little headway over here.” —Heywood Brown, author. xe “To be a young maid is to be in the; most tempting and romantic state Possible to a woman.” — Marguerite Culkin Banning, author. ses “We are living in a material age when the gauge of success is material remuneration.” — Mrs. Franklin D.

When Dundee entered the din- ing room.at half past eight he found that he was the last to appear for breakfast and that every member of the party was decorously dressed for the coming solemn occasion, “Hello, sluggard!” Gigi greeted him joyously, then broke into parodied song: “My Bonnie Hes long past the jour, : My Bonnie lies long in his bea!” ¥ “Gigi!” her mother reproved her. “Just when we were talking of a funeral, too!” She turned explana- torily to Dundee: “George and I have decided to have the funeral here, dear Mr. Dundee. In the ‘lit- tle parlor’—not the servants’ sit- ting-room. Doris was Church of England, wasn't she, dear Mrs. Lambert? I’m sure our own Epis- copalian minister would be delight: |. ed to conduct the services, both here and at the cemetery—” “Mrs. Berkeley, Mr. Crosby and T have talked it over and we'd like to take Doris to New York and bury her beside Phyllis. We feel it 1s what they both would want—” “Oh!” Mrs. Berkeley said uncer- tainly. Then, in @ rather strange voice: “You—won't be coming back, I suspect?” Mra, Lambert smiled faintly and shook her silver-white head. “I cae believe you will necd me, now at" “Of course it was largely be- cause of Clorinda’s marriage to Mr. Crosby that I needed you,” Mrs, Berkeley interrupted ly, “and now that she is go! John Maxwell instead. “I'm glad you admit it at last, Mother,” Clorinda cut in quietly. “Ob, I'm going to stop trying to Menage other people,” Mrs. Berke- ley laughed, fushing brightly. “Your father and I had a long talk lest night, children and your old Abbie is going to settle down and be a model small-town wife and mother.” eee Hyeseann and wife exchanged the first frank, affectionate glance that Dundee had seen pass between them and the young de-! tective felt a sudden surge of some- thing remotely akin to fondness for the woman he had disliked so heartily. He looked swiftly toward Gigt. The child’s eyes were downcast and her lips were trembling, but wheth- er from grief at Mrs. Lambert's imminent departure, or from a painful joy over her mother's tacit- ly promised reformation, he could not tell. But when he glanced at Mrs, Lambert he felt no doubt at all as to what had brought the tears to her blue-gray, shadowed fy ANNE AUSTIN eyes. For her eyes were upon Gigi. At a quérter to 10 Dick Berke: ley knocked impatiently upon Dun- dee’s door. ‘ll be down in five minutes, Dick,” the detective promised. “Wait for me in the car. Have the others gone?” “Everybody's gone—including the servants,” Dick told him, “And you'd better make it snappy or ‘we'll be late.” Carrying @ suitcase, Dundee moved swiftly from bedroom to bed- Toom, collecting white canvas ten- nis shoes and golf shoes, In one bedroom he paused before a dress- ing table, picked up a black-and- gold bottle of perfume, removed the stopper and sniffed. There came over his fa ludicrous ex- Pression of disappointment. Then he read the label again— Nuit de Joie; he'd had a girl not so long ago who used that scent; he sniffed again, then smiled tri- umphantly. Very ¢arefully he wrapped the bottle in his handker- chief and deposited it among the shoes, “What are you doing with that suitcase?” Dick demanded. “I enant you were staying here un- til this murder business was cleared up.” “I am,” Dundee assured him. “I'm just taking some stuff into town to have it—cleaned.” They drove almost in silence, but when Dundee asked the boy to stop at City Hall, Dick commented dryly: “I didn’t know there was a laun- dry or a cleaners’ shop here, though I suppose the politicians need one for their dirty linen.” Dundee was still smiling at Dick's brave attempt at a joke when he entered the laboratory of Dr. Abel Jennings, city chemist and toxi- cologist. “Another job for you, Doctor,” he announced, as he opened the suitcase. “You may find it a poser. I want to know if there ar y, wood alcohol impurities lurking be- neath the nice white polish on any of these shoes, but—particular. ly this pair.” “Then alyze the cloth of these shot rst,” Dr, Jennings Promised matter-of-factly. the poser” “What's | Murder Backstairs ©1930 by NEA SERVICE INC AUTHOR “THE “I thought maybe the white shoe polish had queered..our chances,” Dundee admitted. “Then ome other little thing, Doctor . . .

Dunn returned to Dick's car, without his suitcase. “One more stop, please, Dick, and then for the inquest ... . Meredith's Depart- ment Store.” It took only five minutes for the detective to purchase a bottle of Nuit de Joie, identical in appear ance with the one he had just left in Dr. Jennings’ office and three minutes more to give it into De tective Payne's hand, with explicit instructions. Before Dundee took his place among the witnesses, to be called by the coroner, Payne was well on his way to Hillcrest. Coroner Price reproved the two in- excusably late arrivals with a fierce frown, which seemed to have no effect upon Detective Dundee’s. cheerfulness, The inquest dragged along until past noon, bringing forth no new evidence, for of his own recent dis- coveries Dundee said nothing. Dr. Price called upon him to tell of the discovery of the body in the lake and of its removal. to the summerhouse, then dismissed him. At one o'clock District Attorney Sherwood requested an adjourn- ment of the inquest until Thurs- day and the coroner readily agreed. “Well! Where do we go from here?” Captain Strawn grinned at his young subordinate as they Ii gered in the cleared funeral cha “T’ll bet Sherwood would gg new silk topper not have jumped into this Jonah of a case 80 cockily.

What's that? Been hold- ing out on me, have you, young feller me lad?” Strawn blustered. “I have got a pot on to boil,” Dundee confessed. “I can’t tell you about it now, for I may be all wrong. But if I'm right—and I think I am—you are now Invited to attend a very private confession party at Hillcrest this afternoon at siz o'clock.” “And in the meantime, what am T supposed to do?” Strawn demand- ed sarcastically. “I’m only the e227. | chief of the homicide squad, What are my orders?” i eee \UNDEE laughed. “I want you to telephone to Hillcrest this afternoon about four o'clock and request, very officially, the presence of every member of the family, and of Crosby, Mrs. Lambert and Wick- OF “THE AVENGING™ Sack pacar ere ett, in your office.

If it is, I'd like for you to duck out at about 20 minutes to siz, leaving word with Sergeant Turner to dismiss the crowd 10 min- utes after you're gone. By then you'll be on your way to Hillcrest, with a 10 minutes’ start of the Berkeleys. I'll be waiting for you and then—with luck—the pot should boil over very promptly.” Probably if Dundee had not staged a confession in the Rhodes House murders in much the same secretive and dramatic fashion, Captain Strawn would not have lent his aid to the program out- Mned by his subordinate, without knowing what it was all about. As it was, the chief of the hom!- cide squad followed instructions to the letter. At five o'clock Dundee left Police Headquarters for Dr. Jennings’ laboratory. At ten min- utes past five he spoke four cryp- tic words to Captain Strawn: “The pot is boiling.” In another five minutes he was in a police car, headed toward Hillcrest, his suit- case between his knees. But he was not jubilant. So far as he was concerned, the show was ove ‘With all bis heart he wished he could leave the theater before the curtain rose on the third act that terrible, necessary third act in which a human being, as life loving as himself, would be crushed before his eyes. But he had to go on with it. With his heart like lead he set his stage. From the center of a dressing table in a bedroom at Hillerest he removed the black-and-gold bottle of per fume he had purchased that day and put the original bottle in its place. But that flask had a new label now.’ In place of the gold seal bearing the name, Nuit de Joie, there was a lasge plain white stick- er. And on the glaring white sur- face were the words, lettered in black ink by Dundee himself: FLEUR D'AMOUR On each side of the desecrated perfume bottle he placed the gray- ish white remains of @ tennis ox- ford—shoes that had been 80 gleam- ingly immaculate when he had first seen them—on Saturday morning. ‘Ten minutes later Captain Strawn and Detective Dundee were crouch- ing side by side in a clothes closet, whose door was open just enough for the two men to observe the entrance of the room's owner and any drama that might take place before that sinister dressing table. There were voices in the hall. Tired people coming up to dress for dinner, Faintly there came the sound of doors opening and clos- ing. And at last the knob they were watching so intently turned quickly under an urgent hand. “Coming!” Strawn whispered hoarsely and his fingers closed hard upon Dundee’s shoulder.
