And the millions are made in the Most unlikely things and places. A salesman the other day was talking to a soft drink stand man about a popcorn roaster that has been extensively advertised in the country the last few years. “There is a profit of $137 on each of these machines, and some years go there were more than a million = of them sold,” he said. You " wouldn't figure that there was any $127,000,000 in popcorn, would you? ‘This is the only country in the world, the only country that the world ever saw, in which the in- ventor, the small manufacturer, the man with a new idea, with a short cut, a new device, can be- come a plutocrat.

Mrs. Frits | chie said Thursday she had known | the Nemitz family and young Ealy | for several years, and considered the holding of mother and son as little sort of ridiculous, “As for the money found in their safety deposit box,” said Mrs. Fritschie, “that is no clue to solution of the murder mys- tery, in my opinion. They have had ‘a deposit box for more than a year that I know of. And have had a considerable amount of cash in it. “A year ago last April, Mi Fritschie and I needed $400 cash very badly, The Nemitz family loaned it to us—went down to thelr deposit box and got it— and told us we could have more if we needed it. “Capt, Tennant was out here and questioned me.

He said, ‘Oh, hell, we know Faly did it,’ and, of course, detec- tives have to say things like that, but we all know William didn't, and he and his mother will soon be re- leased. We are all very happy about the way things are turning out. “Of course they couldn't find those letters that William was supposed to have written to Mrs. Bryan. That was all idle talk. I had never even heard him, or any other members of the Nemitz family, mention Mrs. Bryan.” Nemitz, seen at his home, 3826 Meridian ave., sald he was greatly surprised at his wife's detention. He was positive, he said, that his step- son had not had a hand in the mur- der.

But when she was led to the elevator that was to take her to the city jail, her step was firm and her eyes snapped.
