MANY MOTORTSTS IN STATE ARE WORRIED Are Wondering il They Have Stolen Automobiles Hartford, June 3, — Seizure by the state police of large numbers of stol- en and “lost” automoblles, leading to the disclosure of a giant conspiracy directed by New York crooks, has re- sulted in the receipt at the motor ve- hicle and state police departments of hundreds of voluntary applications by car owners for Investigation of the manufacturer's number on their ma- chines. The flood of such applications is believed to be due largely to the fact that the recent sensational exposure of the automobile conspiracy educat- ed the public to the fact that the own- er of a motor vehicle is lfable to ar- rest if found in possession of a car bearing engine numbers that have in any way been tampered with.. It is doubtful whether many car owners previously took the trouble to exam- ine their engine numbers carefully. Many others, who, while they per- sonally came by their automobiles honestly, knew that there was a ques- Beauty Hint for Women When food is only imperfectly digested, For clear skin and bright eyes Take condition, dependable. it gives rise to formnntntmn, bowels, and renders the blood impure.

Then, since the death of the un- happy woman had defeated all hope of a lurid court proceeding and ren- dered piquant exploitation of ‘“wild life inside the movie colony,” the case went into quick eclipse. Lucinda spent the best part of that day in the projection-room with Zinn and Wallace Day, her new di- rector, sitting in judgment on thirty- six reels of film, the accumulated sum of Nolan's fumbling with about two-thirds of a picture. To the weariness of those days the visit of Hanford Willis came as a Wwelcome interlude. It did Lucinda good to hear him growl and scold about anything as| relatively inconsiderable as the lunacy of throwing money away—l “Like water!"—and then refusing to! set the machinery of the law in mo- tion to apprehend and punish Lon- taine. And Lucinda took leave of him with dewy eyes * * * her one true TRicndates e Now she had nobody left but Fanny; and she was coming daily to repose less faith in Fanny's loyalty. She was feeling very sorry for her- self, and very lonely, and when most Fanny was seldom at her call. Fanny had give up the bungalow and moved to a residential hotel on the out- skirts of the Wilshire district, whose accommodations she claimed were cheaper than the Hollywood's. Deep in Lucinda's subconscious- ness an incidental recollection turned in its sleep. Somewhere sometime, she had heard that Barry Nolan had a bungalow down Wil- shire way. Or hadn't he? A week from the night of their recontre in Summerlad’s bungalow Bellamy called to tell Lucinda he was leaving for New York the next morning. Zinn would take charge of his producing interests during his absence. He couldn't say just how long that might be.

Accordingly, instead of going di- rectly home to the Hollywood, Lu- cinda motored to Los Angeles and booked reservations for Reno. On the way back to Hollywood she instructed her chauffeur to make a detour and stop at Fanny's hotel. Drawing near the hotel, she recog- nized the conspicuous car of Barry Nolan waiting at the carriage-block, and as she bent forward to tell her chauffeur not to stop, she saw Fan- ny come out of the entrance, Nolan ambling, with an air of contented habit, at her elbow.
