That proposal, The Citizen has learn- ed, candidates in the last city election, but it turned out, as it naturally would have | turned out with any men who had the city at heart, that the five men who had been e ed refused to be rushed by anybody and realized fully the responsibilities they had shouldered. And then the disgruntled adhereents boomed and boomed their dissatisfaction. A report went the rounds of the city at he same old ................ ina new kimono. During the campaign, more than one person had declared that he was interested ing the city a better government, i then, after election day, those persons When not receive it, resentment flared eyes and for a good many days | fterward they took a jab at the commission enever they were afforded an opportun- ity, and, if an opportunity did not bob up often enough, they created the “opportun- | * to tell just what they thought of the appointments t the commission had,made.

She felt sure that Robey had been | killed but she hadn't pushed that | thought to the point of speculat- ling on the identity of the person who had done it. It was true that Robey would never have Sus- pected a women. He had been spoiled darling of women every- where. In this case, however, there were only the three Mrs. Bakers to chose from. Virginia had been with the “Pied Piper.” “Another man was almost killed last night,” Venable interrupted her thoughts. “I know. They told me.” “Did you hear anything?” “No.” “Mrs. Baker, maybe I haven't made you realize the seriousness of the situation. I don’t think j there is any doubt your husband was killed. There’s a murderer loose and he'll kill again if he needs to. You have two vital rea- sons for helping to solve the case —first, your life may be in danger, and second. ali circumstantial evidence so far points to you.” Julia was glad she was lying | down. Strength had fled from her. “You will find the right person, won't you?” she asked gravely. “Tl try if you'll help.” “You ‘don’t think I did it?” “A policeman doesn't think un-+ til he has all the facts.” “But I’ve told you all I know.”, And at that moment she had ac- hadn't told him. He stood up. “You rest. Mrs. Baker, and rl see you later.” ULIA wondered as she followed | J his back to the door if he were | capable of drawing the truth from the multitude of deceptions | around him. There was an air of | competence in his step and she had a growing faith in his ability. He has nice eyes, she thought, and wondered doubtfu if her con- | fidence were based on his looks. As soon as he was out of the| room Virginia came in. “I'm going home and get some thé "Bending sto relieve eleicd Europe? 2. “Will surplus nylon clbth, teleased by tually forgotten the things she that sich. iicarnations of thé ESE a satanic could be real.in a civilized ag [We hope that every Ameri¢ay, ‘who believed: before the war-that the: meuts< of \Gerniany ‘and- Tapangam ourseand that the people of those were inclined to peace, will absorh ‘the revelations that are now being made about the intentions, purposes and plans of the aggressor nations.

But soon the world’s rub- ber needs will be met and the future of synthetic and paturgl, rupley must be resolved. canteen Spokesmen for jhe rubber industry Say. that synthetic ‘tites hgw are 90 percent .a¢ efficient as fhose made from natural rub- ber, and that there‘is every prospect even- tually they will be superior to casings made from natural rubber. If synthetic becomes superior to nat- ural rubber for tires, the prospect is that its use will be continued. There is a price in- centive, too. Experts say synthetic rubber ean be produced for 15 cents a pound in the near future. Prewar natural rubber cos 18 cents per pound. In 1926 the price shot up to more than a dollar a pound. The Dutch and British want 25 cents a pound for natural rubber now. America and other nations will find use for both natural and synthetic rubber. Three years may be required to bring plan- tations in the Pacific back to peak produc- tion. Before that point is reached, this country must decide whether to retain its *. $750,000,000 investment in synthetic plants or wipe it off as a war expenditure. Let’s resolve to drive carefully and thus reduce the number of accidents to drivers who know that nothing will happen to them. Air transportation is a great new in- dustry. Those who understand its future do not expect it to displace the railroad, anymore than they expect the railroads to put the airlines out of business. Each has a task. Air transportation is a mature in- dustry. As such it can meet the railroads ~~on equal ground. age-old question, *What’s:behind the mo- | for hosiery. from the United States and we would not be amazed if somebody doesn’t conclude that, after all, the United States attacked | Japan. | | NO TIME IF WAR COMES | Supporting the adoption of a compul- sory military training program, William S.
