LIGHT rain had softened the ground and the double set of foot prints, one leading to, the other from, the library window were plainly visible. Prof. { Pordney observed that in several places ‘ the former overlapped the latter, but ‘was sure that both had been made by the same pair of shoes, asthere was [d characterisitc heel mark. ‘The previous day ‘Multi - Millionaire Sir James Wil- liamson had ob- tained from his jewelers an_almost priceless pearl necklace, a gift for his daughter, Con- nie, who was the following morning to marry Sir Mer- rick McNeily. Harvey Bfllings‘ a house est Of the wmhgnusons and one-time suitor of Connie, was to be best man. The night of the robbery he had remained up after the household retired to enjoy a last pipe. Turning out the lights he sat in the conservatory off the li- brary, he said. The cautious opening of a window in the next room aroused him from his reverie and he saw a man enter, walk to the safe and open jt with apparently little difficulty. Bil- lings grappled with the burglar, but he made his escape through the library ‘window. This is what the professor had so far learned. He noticed that Billings had & but- ton missing from his left sleeve and that there were bruises on the right side of his face. He quietly set about making further investigations, won- dering if jealousy had prompted Bil- lings to rob his former sweetheart of Her, wedding gift; for surely if he were Tot the actual thief, he was impli- cated.

By the Assoclated Press. ‘The Bureau of Agricultural Econom- ics, in its first official appraisal of re- cent crop damage, forecast today the { smallest erop of wheat, oats, rye, barley !and flaxseed that has been hnrvnkd in| | this country “in a generation.” Th ‘amother. atinounccment, it attrib- | uted the recent rise in wheat prices, “largely to dollar depreciation in for- {eign exchanges,” asserting that despite | |{crop damage in this country “the do- | mestic market is still burdened by a very {large carry-over and the world market ‘lpflce is still at a very low level.” It estimated that the world carry- over as of July 1 would be approxi- {mately 50,000,000 bushels larger than last year, which would be a new record. 1t sét the domestic carry-over at ap- proximately the same figure as last year, 363,000,000 bushels. Crop Below Domestic Needs. The bureau said drought and other weather damage had reduced the wheat crop to be harvested this year below estimated domestic needs which ordi- narily are from 600,000,000 bushels to 650,000,000 bushels, including human food. live stock and poultry feed and about 75,000,000 bushels for seed. Meanwhile, administrators of the farm act watched the rises in both grain and cotton prices in an attempt to measure the reduction they might | cause in the processing taxes that will finance the acreage reduction programs. In its report on damage, the bureau said crops and pastures were seriously hurt by drought thoroughout June “in virtually the entire area east of the Rocky Mountains.” “Small grains have been injured most, and it appears that the total outturn will be the smallest in a generation. Oats are practically ruined over wide sections from Ohio westward and wheat shows injury which has been rated in the markets as ‘sensational.’ Cut for Hay. “Reports from Nebraska and South Dakota indicate a wheat crop of only a fraction of normal, and wide areas elsewhere in the wheat belt show an exceedingly thin crop with short strs and much shriveled grain. Both wheat | ond oats bave been cut for hay in many sections. “Although corn and cotton have not been as yet badly injured by the drought, corn is beginning to show the bad effects of heat and dry weather and cotton is late in parts of the Western be}:\ and is now generally in need of rain. “The hot weather in June is reported to have helped to increase the demand ! for fruits and melons which are selling generaliy higher than at this time last year and markets for potatoes have been active and strong.” Despite the outlook for a crop of wheat below domestic needs—which would be the first this century—the MARRIAGE license is s wonderful thing,” In- spector Willing's assist- ant heard his superior mutter as he bent over a report. “Plenty of people will give you an argument on that statement,” the assistant cut in. “Depends on the point of view.” (14 —he produced the license “Here is a fellow who proved it. Here's the racket. A colored gen- tleman, accompanied by a blush- ing bride, figuratively blushing at least, just put over a hatful of . phoney checks on the strength of a marriage license.

Jjustifiable in the face of the crop which | would be harvested, assuming normal conditions, from the acreage now planted to cotton.” Johnston, Secretary Wallace, George N. Peek, chief administratcr, and Charles J. Brand, co-administrator, all have attributed part of the rise in the price | of both commodities to anticipation of | & smaller supply as a result of their acreage reduction campaigns. THRESHING EQUIPMENT DECLARED TAX EXEMPT Attorney General's Office in West, Virginia Renders Opinion in Dispute. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHARLES TOWN, W. Va., June 30.— An opinion of the attorney general's office that threshing outfits and engines used exclusively in this business and go- | ing from farm to farm are exempt from | licensing has been exhibited here to settle a dispute over the status of the | farm equipment. The opinion, asked by Acting Commissioner Harry P. Hen- shaw of the State Road Commission, was forwarded to the State Police De- partment by Commissioner Henshaw, he said, with suggestion that the de- partment be guided accordingly. Arrests have been made here of op. erators of threshing outfits because they failed to carry a license. s a rac ket- James E.Grant. wants to make a small purchase.
