It is with perplexed feelings that one realizes the hunt for the little son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh is over. The baby is dead and has apparently been dead for weeks. All hope that it would again someday take its place in the home of its parents is gone. While the father and mother have the body of their child they have with it the | knowledge that they will never again see it in li[e; or hear its childish prattle. The depraved buby; stealers are not only kidnapers. They are baby | killers—merciless murderers. It is hard to consider the situation. Words seem | inadequate to express the feelings that are aroused. | However, it is impossible to refrain from expressing disgust for the inefficiency of American police and detectives that has been exposed. Helpless, fooled and hoaxed into a thousand by-paths, most of those | who have been searching for the lost child have been made ridiculous spectacles by the finding of the baby almost at the front door of its home. | They have permitted Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh almost to succumb from anxiety and heartache, and they, and the friends who would aid them, to be swindled. These have been victims of racketeers and leeches. And much of it has been due to crass stupidity. What is to be done about it all? Will people simply rave for a while and forget? We shall see.| 1932 RACING SEASON BEGINS. It is too early to make any predictions regard- | ing the 1932 racing season. While the outlook is not so brilliant for the development of great three-| year-olds as it was last year, there are a lot of promising colts and the season has a long way | to go. Interest in the older horses was dampened’ 2 lot by the death of the “wonder horse” from Australia, Phar Lap, and the disability of Twenty Grand, whom, it is said, will not be on the track this year. Twenty Grand's performances as a three-year- old were brilliant. While he did not equal the! record of Man o' War, and some others of the past, | he demonstrated that he was probably the greatest long distance racer of all time for his age. He won all of his races of a mile-and-a-half or over, and most of those for a mile-and-a-quarter, including the most famous American classic, the Kentucky Derby. Great things were expected of him as a; four-year-old. It is hoped everywhere that he may recover from his lameness and again become a racer. However, for glory or mediocrity, the 1932 racing season is on and the 1932 record is in the making. THE BIG ONES ALSO MAKE MISTAKES.

That that was economical and not disturbing Its brevity commends it. indicates a campaign Need of Advertising. (Canadian Financial Post.) Advertising is one form of salesmanship and its aim is to build volume of sales. When this strong arm of merchandizing and distribution is weakened the result must be fewer sales. A reduction in volume means that the unit costs of production of the remaining business are increased. If pro- duction facilities are over-expanded the best solu- *|tion is to attempt to bring sales up, and to bring sales up proper advertising must be properly used. Sales effort must be kept up in these times of all times. But it must be intelligently directed sales effort. Advertising copy must be more care- fully written and media must be selected more curcumspectly. Poor advertising brings only poor results. Good advertising is not one of the wastes of business and reduction of advertising appropria- tions, simply as a way to save money, rather than as a way to use the advertising dollar more effi- ciently, will postpone recovery. Slight Omission. (New York Times.) The Chief Enforcer pointed out that at the rate of thirty raids a day it would take one thou- sand days, or roughly three years, to clean up the local speakeasy situation; which was not too long for so sizable a problem. “Assuming,” said the By-Products reporter, “that no new speakeasies are opened in the meanwhile.” “To be sure, to be sure,” said the Chief En- forcer. “It is not a job to be underestimated. Con- sider whom we have against us. There are the speakeasy proprietors, the big rum-runners, the re- tail distributors, the hidden financiers, the racket- eers, the politicians, other classes engaged in sell- ing protection. You see it may well mount up into an army or perhaps 100,000 law violators.” “But haven't you forgotten some one?” said the reporter. “Whom?” said the Chief Enforcer. He was a |man of excellent education and did not say “who.” “You have overlooked the man who buys what the speakeasy has to sell,” said our reporter. “As- suming that it takes only one hundred customers to support a speakeasy, this would mean 3,000,000 patrons.” The Chief Enforcer looked thoughtful. have forgotten them,” he murmured. “I must A self-extinguishing cigarette has won the in- dorsement of a Federal bureau.

Pryde, Warden of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, who arrived here late Tuesday enroute to Yakutat where he is regularly stationed each fish- ing season. He will be here about ten days. The total take of seals this Spring by the Sitka Indians has been but 24, Mr. Pryde said. They were all taken by two boats, one killing 16 and the other eight. The boat taking 16 had a spec- ial order for half that number from a Sitka merchant, who, how- ever, took the entire lot at $8 per pelt. The other boat had been unable to get any offer for its take. Normally severa: umes this year's take is made each year by the Sitka hunters who, under the terms of the law permitting them to kill seal, have to hunt in craft prtpe).\ed bgd oars and hunt with- out any modern firearms. Spears are used by them in killing animals. 30 ‘Warden and Mrs, Pryde came here on the patrolship Widgeon, Daily Empire Want Ads Pay Capt. Clyde J.

You —Jenny Revell hates the idea, and yet she is willing to per- mit the deception if it will help her cousin, Georgie, who has beenetaking care of her. Geor- gie is going to Marry Eddie herself today. If her employer, Grafton Matching, learns about it he will fire her, since he re- fuses to have married women werking for him. Georgie loves her jeb, her large salary, and Eddie, and she intends to keep them all. Since she and Jenny have the same name, she can | tell Matching that Jenny is the bride. Jenny is more willing to agree to Georgie’s plan, be- | cause che is disappointed and | unhappy. She is deeply inter- E csted in Garth Aveney, whom the girls met the night before. | but she believes he likes Geor- gie. Shortly before Georgie's cecret wedding, Jenny meets | Aveney, and wonders how to | escape from him. | | CHAPTER 10. SPLINTERED GLASS | Jenny arew a long breath and Aveney repeated softly—“Georgie found you.” He was staring at the snapdragons as though they mes- merized him, as though they help- |ed him to create the vision of Georgie — strong, compassionate, generous Georgie—finding her. “And she's taken care of you ever since?” he dsked presently. (How black her hair was! Raven- black.) “Ever since. She heard of me through the lawyers, you see, and I she spent heaps of time and money tracking me down. She's done absolutely everything for me—you can’t imagine how royally that Georgie can be. She says she |doesn’t want me to go away ever.” “Are way?” Jenny hesitated. She had acci- dentally let Vale infer that Geor- gie insisted on playing Lady Boun- tiful. She mustn’t do that with Aveney. At the same time, it surely wasn’t necessary to let him consider Georgie’s cousin a helpless burden, strapped to Georgie's back for ever and evermore.” you thiuking of going “Yes,” she said finally, “I am going away soon.” His sudden intent, half-amused look was turned upon her. She couldn't meet it fully. Her head began sharply to ache and then her heart was aching, too, and she had an appalling fear that she was going to cry. .. She consulted her wrist watch, Georgie's gift. “I think I ought to go. It's ten minutes to twelve.” She rose, and as he rose with her, she realized how awkward it would be if he suggested— The next moment he had sug- gested it. “May I come with you? Perhaps you and Miss Revell would lunch with me. There's a very decent little place mear here.” “I'm afraid we can’t.” “Can’'t lunch?” Jenny bit her lip. It was loath- some, having to evade him. She determined that she wouldn't lie— at the most she would leave gaps. “Georgie and T are lunching with a friend of ours,” she said. “We're meeting him in a few minutes.” Then she envisaged a chance en- counter. “It's Mr. Townsend, the airman,” she added. “Oh, Townsend! That's the chap I just me. He took those—he's just got back after his trip.” She nodded. His manner was amused, almost mischievous; she had the impression that he ex- pected her to say—what? Some- thing about Eddie’s flight. What- ever it was, she had no clue to it. ...She began to walk towards the street. Far above them, graceful as gulls at sea, two airplanes swept out upon the uncharted ways of the air. Jenny watched their pas- sage across the nearer sky. “You want me to clear out, don't you, honestly?” demanded Garth ‘Aveney. Startled, she said “Yes.” “I mean,” she amended confus- edly, “Georgie will be awfully sorry we can't lunch.

The traffic block was breaking and Eddie had let in his clutch.

I wish he hadn't borrowed | this car—he isn't used to it.” Jenny had been coming to the| same conclusion.

Challenging all | the known laws of time and space, |Eddie hurled the car around a| corner into a wider street. He yelled & war-cry and stepped on the gas.
