The gay old culture departed from their pillared mansions; and when the murder was being investigated neigh- | bors told the officers that there had been enmity between Miss Merrill and Dana because of an argument over some goats and pigs which Dana owned! And the picture of the murder, as sketched by the sheriff, adds the final j{touch; two people entering a decay- ing mansion, one holding an oil lamp while the other leveled a gun to kill the aged woman who was once the belle of the south. Could a novelist have invented a more fascinating, hair-raising tale of decay and morbid gloom than this one from real life? A Lonely Boy Beside the front walk of a middle western orphanage there sits, every day, a three-year old boy, one arm circling the neck of a big police dog which has befriended him. The boy keeps watching everyone who comes up the walk; and whenever he sees a A New Line for Hindenburg! in the cool of the twilight! em Oe TOM SAWYER STILL Bridgeport, I was tempted to mutiny and join some lads who suddenly made the years go tumbling back- wards. They had taken possession of one section of a dilapidated wharf nearby. There, between two broken piles, they had built a “club” which hung by old timbers and tin signs to the underside of the abandoned pier. An igloo-like entrance lent mys- tery and insured seclusion. From time to time some Tom Sawyerish urchin would bob out brandishing an old pipe or a lighted cigaret. One by one they would dive off into the questionably clean waters. Just such a place we had once on the banks of the St. Clair river in Michigan. Between swims we would enjoy the wicked thrill of reading Dia- mond Dick and Old King Brady and Jesse James. Our cigarets were rolled from corn-silk and crushed cedar bark stripped from fence posts. * OK * And then the sundown thrill of water whipped white by a passing fighters . . .

Ma- : of the average newspaper or maga- zine with regard to truth in adver- tising. An untruthful and dishonest advertiser will pay as much as any-| one for space, frequently more, but the conscientious publication rejects his business for two reasons. One is that publication of fraudulent adver- tising puts the integrity of the publi-/ cation in question, thereby injuring its business and reputation. The other is the obligation to protect its readers from deception where pos- sible. | Another safeguard is the integrity of the merchant from whom an ar- ticle is purchased. The individual or firm with an established business, with the confidence and respect of the public as one of its important as- sets, is not going to prejudice itself by selling goods under false pre- tenses. What such individuals or firms say about an article can usually be depended upon as accurate to the best of their knowledge. A third safeguard is whether the|j product is generally advertised and , where the advertisements appear. If "an article is widely distributed and generally advertised in reputable magazines and newspapers you may ‘be fairly sure about it, But the best © protection against deception, in the ‘last analysis, is the law requiring honest labeling. It is pretty thor- i oughly enforced. this one of the lonely boy at the or- Phanage. It means an almost im- measurable amount of human suf- fering. Keeping that in mind, shall we not insist that we will not put up with any economic system which does not find some way of averting periodic depressions? Population Movement The United States department of agriculture estimates that 1,472,000 Persons left farms for towns and cities in 1931, and that 1,679,000 persons moved farmward. The gain in num- ber of persons living on farms was 648,000. For the year 1930 it was es- timated that 1,766,000 persons moved from cities to farms and 1,727,000 per- sons moved from farms to cities— these two movements almost balanc- ing each other. There was a slight decrease in the number of persons going to farms in 1931, and a consid- erable decrease in the number going to cities.

There has been a prodigious break- ing of records, which adds to the won- der of the modern athlete—his ability to go on surpassing records which hen made seemed the ultimate in the prowess of the human flesh. The new track records are attrib- uted in part to the superlatively fast crushed peat track, modeled after a remarkably fast old Los Angeles horse the nasal passages. Cane sugar, & heaping teaspoonful dissolved in a teacupful of warm water, is a good remedy to spray in the nose two or three times daily for this condition. It should be obvious to any intelli- gent person that foul breath cannot be remedied with a mere mouth wash, gargle or other makeshift. The source of the odor must be determined and the condition, if remediable, given proper treatment. In these two talks I have not at- tempted to name all the causes which may be responsible for bad breath, but rather have sought to show the futility of trying to remedy the con- dition with some “antiseptic” or other cure-all. Persons who have chronic arsenic Poisoning may have a peculiar gar- licy odor of the breath. Chronic ar- senic poisoning is more common now- adays than formerly, owing to fre- quent occupational exposure. A mouth wash or gargle of common salt, heaping teaspoonful in pint of water, or a solution of boric acid in water, heaping teaspoonful in the pint, or a solution of iodin in water, say five drops of the brown tincture of iodin (old spelling iodine) in a glassful of water, is as effective as any antiseptic remedy can be against any condition which may produce un- pleasant breath odor. If one prefers to flavor such mouth wash or gargle with one aromatic or another, very well, but that is not a question of hygiene. In any case, if there is real friend- ship, one friend need not hesitate to tell the other if there is any extraor- dinary odor about the breath. While there is no specific remedy for foul breath, the fact remains that the cause or source of the trouble can be determined by proper examination by the physician in every instance, and with rare exceptions the trouble is readily remedied when the physi- cian has made his diagnosis. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Infection in Ear I noticed your advice to wear loose packing of lamb’s wool when one en- ters a swimming pool. I have worked at a large pool for eight seasons. One does not have to go into a swimming pool to get this ear trouble. If you get water in your ear anywhere and do not get it out right away, trouble will ensue.

Therefore it is wise for those who swim in pools to keep the water out of nose and ears as much as possible. Infantile Paralysis Ihave a baby just a year and a half old. I have heard this is the time of the year for infantile paralysis. Can you suggest any safeguard? What are the first symptoms?—(Mrs. L, L. P.) Answer—The only safeguard I can suggest is to keep your child away from persons who purport to have colds or sore throats or to keep such pe: away from the child, particu- larly ‘in public gatherings. The first clash | symptoms of infantile paralysis are usually those of a mild sore throat with low fever. The first sign of the paralysis develops 24 to 48 hours after the beginning of the illness. of Hearing | | TODAY’S PIRATES New York, Aug. 20.—More notes from the log of a vacationing column- ist: The crowds of children running cown to the Port Jefferson pier that morning were not headed for a picnic; nor were they interested in the pala- tial, gilt-trimmed yachts that had ar- rived over night. No, word had spread about the little town that a rum run- ner had put in for repairs! Within an hour 200 tiny legs were dangling over the pier’s side and there were excited and elated whisperings. All the cautionings of oldsters; all the moralizings and talk of illegality had ee ants had turned to fisher-folk and sailors. Dock barriers soon appeared. No- tices were circulated: “Lock your boats—the gypsies are in town— they'll steal anything.” So the children of the road gath- ered in a dirty shack and washed their clothes, until drab back yards shrieked with flapping color. Mangy kittens crawled out of rumble seats and children appeared as if out of the old woman's shoe in the nursery rhyme. The chill reception of the little fish- ing town had slight effect. by sun- down, bright handkerchiefs were wav- ing for sailor lads aboard the big gas tankers.

A wounded Mexican, believed to be one of El Coyote’s band, is captured. Later Bob tells Ted he has a message for him which will make him lose his trust in the world and strip him of everything he has. CHAPTER IX A Mexican servant dozed in a cor- ner, and with a nod Don Bob dis- missed him, then going to the fire- place threw sticks of fragrant mes- quite-on the embers. He pointed to a deep leather chair. “Sit down, Ted. There are cigar- ettes and pipe tobacco.” For a time he busied himself with the glowing logs while Radcliffe watched him closely. “It's about father?” the younger man asked at last. Bob slowly filled his pipe, then sat before the fire. “Yes, part of it’s about your father. But most of it is about you. Up until the time your father died, just how much did you know about his affairs?” “Nothing except that they were perfectly sound. He always had the ‘strongest kind of backing.” “He was a great gambler, remem- ber, I mean in the big, adventurous sense.” = “He loved to experiment and try what others never dared. He was always willing to back his judgment with his last penny. If that’s what you mean, yes, he was a gambler. And why not? There was always his own fortune of a good many millions behind him.” The man opposite was silent for ‘ime, then at last he said quietly: I had a letter from your father just before he died five years ago. Things had broken badly. He had put everything into a number of new ventures. Most of it was in those big Mexican plans of his. Then, without warning, the Mexi- can government canceled its agree- ment for that power project and withdrew his permit for the irriga- tion work. As a result all those hundreds of square miles he had leased became overnight just so much valueless sand. Then came a quick panic of early spring. It caught him. It wiped him out.” “Ruined?” The whispered word seemed to linger in the quiet room. “Utterly. I think it broke his heart. Not just the money, not that, but the death of all his plans, the crashing of twenty years of work and dreams.” Bob's long fingers drummed on the chair and his eyes followed the rising sparks as they swarmed up the chimney place. “His first thought was to keep it all from you,” he added softly, “But didn't he know—he must have known—that I’d rather a thou-| sand times have faced the music with him?” “I don't believe he could have en- dured your seeing him beaten, I think he wanted always to remain the big, successful demigod of your childhood—until the end. And the end came in six months. But before your father died he had paid off every cent. It left him with a few a. “Ruined?” The whispered word seemed to linger in the quiet room. ee scant thousand dollars, and these he turned over to his bankers. They were to put you through school and give you those two years abroad.” Radcliffe’s grim face looked up. “And I thought it was just an al- lowance.” “It took every penny your father owned. Well, it was his wish that you should have those years un- clouded. And now you've had them.” A silence, broken only by the crackling logs, while slowly the first realization of it all crept in upon the man. The world was tumbling about him, That great stalwart father of his, with all his power, the very symbol of power and success—the idol of his childhood, had ceased to’ exist. Radcliffe shook his head, as if to tid himself of this nightmare. It couldn’t be true—life wasn’t like that. Suddenly he found himself walk- ing the length of the room, “It’s not real,” he said once. “I suppose, to- morrow, I'll accept it—I’ll have to. But now it’s as if it all were hap- pening to someone else—while I stand by and watch.” He whirled back toward the quietly seated fig- ure, “But why did he send me out here to learn all this?” “For two reasons. First, he want- ed me rather than a stranger to tell you. And second, he wanted me to give you this.” Don Bob walked to his desk and held up a long enve- lope. “His last word to you.” ’ Radcliffe’s fingers closed gently, almost reluctantly, on the envelope, and for an instant his eyes dimmed to see his own name written there in that careless heavy scrawl of his father’s. It was like a voice out of the Past grown suddenly articulate —a whispered word from the dead, Motionless he stood there, then felt Bob's hand laid on his shoulder, and while the ficelight flickered on their steady faces those two men ‘stood looking into each other’s eyes, Be- hind them a clock chimed midnight. It had a quality, that moment, the quality of a bond between them, and in graver times they were both to think of it again. Very slowly he tore open the envelope, At last he raised his eyes from the closely written pages and spoke in a voice that tried ineffectually to be calm, “I can’t read it all to you— it’s like dad talking once again about his plans for me and the things we were to do together.” His voice stopped, then went on. “And it tells all you've already told me, but at the end dad says this: ‘I have a rea- son for sending you out there. Bob may guess it. Especially when I say it has to do with Paco Morales. Study him, Ted, my boy. He is an education, old Morales, But his tuition is sometimes a little high!” For a moment Radcliffe looked at Don Bob, then read on: “‘I want you to be happy as I have been happy. I want you to be true to yourself—there is no other success in life. My love to you always—’” The voice stopped abruptly. He folded the letter and after a long silence asked, “What does father mean about Morales?” _The older man mused over his cigarette. “Ted,” he said at last, “if the real story of your father’s down- fall is ever told, we're going to find that Morales played some Part in it, I know how the man works, I know, too, the was supposed to stand be- hind your father’s development plans in Mexico with money and, what is more important, with his influence over the Mexican government, I be- lieve the old Spaniard Promised your father full Support, and then, when the time came that he needed support, Morales withheld his peti and turned the government against the dia That meant the end.” ‘ut father’s plan was for irri tion, His dreaioa were of a fic ditch that would bring water to the desert and change this dry cattle country to farms. Wouldn’t that have benefited Morale’s land?” “The land, yes, But not Morales, Legally Morales owns not over ten thousand acres about the hacienda. But by the terror of his vaqueros he is king of more than a million. And of course Morales pays a little to the proper officials to keep the thing quiet. So you see that to bring Prosperity and people to this land would mean the end of Morales’s reign.” (To Ba Continued)
