30 Million in Voting Bloc
VILL tins rtorlul security net
i hlp l tiealo a pension bloc
of Ji5 to 30 million people, eager
for more and quicker money? asks
a coTifumpormy writer. Wo have
seen the power of u bonus bloc of
three or four million. Wlml may
wo expect of another pension blue
of such tremendous size? Ih an
other question of the writer.
If we have 25 or 30 million work
era who uro also voters paying
In from week to week, money to
euro for them in their old ago, they
uro certain to grow 'conscious of
the growth of tbo fund uml to auk
ono or both of two things, iiu:reiino
tiio umount paid In pensions; ru
duco the age limit nt which pen
sions begin. Added to tbo feol of
their voting power will bo the
knowledge of a vast surplus creat
ed by their and their employers'
contributions to the security fund.
The government's estimate Is that
Ibis sum w.ll rench $17,000,0(10,0011
by 31180. Tho national Income of
the United States In 1!CtU was loss
limn that. What would bo tho ef
fect, on our national Mo if such u
fund piled up In the national treas
ury? Under the terms of the pros
cut act, congress will keep lis
hand on the money. The Itch
to spend will become iiuconlroll
ublo long boi'oro It reaches any

"THERE'S MURDER IN THE AIR"
By ROY CHANSLOR
CIIAl'TKIl XXIV
Tliey drove to Manhuttan, to
Center street. Tyler sent in his
name. Tho captain on duty re
turned Immediately and showed
them into Commissioner John K 11
rane's office. Tho commissioner
greeted Tyler heartily. They shook
hands, and Tyler introduced Cor
don. Kitruno was flattered and
impressed.
Very skelchlly, Tyler explained
that Cordon and his family were
being menaced by assassins. Ho
asked If l hey could look at photo
graphs of known racketeers, those
of standing and power. K Urn ne
was glad to oblige. He accom
panied them to tho bureuu of idem
lllicnllon. They pored over pho
tographs, but Cordon could re
cognize none of them.
"Of course we've only got I he
mugs of those with criminal rec
ords," said Kllrune. "Lots or them
are too smart, ever to get caught
In anything that's not legit. Those
are I he most dangerous. We're
helpless to deal with them. All
their dirty work Is done by hired
hoodlums."
He ran through a list of half a
dozen names: Flush Cold man,
Danny Crew, Jim Cnbrlel, Nick
Raiupoue, Culdo Morio, Mart Cres
cent. "We haven't got a thing on any
of those birds," said Kllrane. "Vet
we're pretty sure they're all In
the racket. They've got too much
dough to come by legitimately.
The federal men have tried to
hook I hem all on the income-tax:
gag, but they're too smart for that
too. They always file returns on
every dollar that can be checked
against them."
Alter they had returned to the
commissioner's office. Tyler drew
from a packet the faded uewspa
tr picture of .loo Caudlo, which
Nat had obtained at the Star's
morgue.
"Mean anything lo you, Jack V"
Kilrane stared at the picture lor
a long moment, scratched his head
"ll's just faintly I'nmlliar," he
said regretfully, "but I don't quite
make 11. 1 most ha e sent I his
guy somewhere -tr his picture.
Cuess ii musl've been a long tune
ago.",
"The name's Caudio,' said Ty
ler. "Joe Caudio."
! Hut Kilrane shook his head
again, after a moment.
"He ami his family kidnaped a
boy In Chicago sileel or seven
teen years ai;o," Tyler said, hying
to prod the man's memory,
"Wnll !" Kilrane said. He threw
hack bis head, rinsed his eves,
Then he smote his palms together.
"I got it," be said. "Sure. Joe
Caudio! Some! liing about a Jail
break. This guy got a way clean.
I was Jusl a precinct dick detec
tive," he corrected, hastily. "Then
was a general alalia ai the lime.
I don't cem to recall whether
they eer collared him."
"They didn't," said T ler. "And
he's the man we're looking tori
now.
Kilrane looked at the photo-'
giaph. j
"It's been a long time." he said
"Hut I tell you yh.it I 11 do. I ll re.
ive thai alarm. I don't sav w e ll j
be able to pick him up, now. Hut j
we may."
In ihe afternoon they returned
lo the estate. Carlotta. Pons, Nat j
and Job niton w ere w aitiiiR for i
litem w hen ihey got out of the I
car. Cordon assured them all thatj
Heitme was in good health.
"Can't we go and see her toinoi-i

"lint it wouldn't hurt to take her
some flowers or some candy," said
Carlotta. "The poor child, uhe'll
bo lonely,"
"We'll see," said Gordon.
"At least we can Bond her some
thing," said Jioris. ,"(llve me the
address, and . ; !
"I'll see that she gets It," said
Cordon quickly. 1
Doris flashed a glanco at him.
"Oh!" she said. "You don't want
me to know where she is!"
She turned and hurried away.
Cordon impulsively started to fol
low her, hut .Curoltta touched his
arm.
"JJon't, Paul," she said gently.
"Doris is still upset. You mustn't
pay any attention. I'll try to ex
plain to her that Jleleno needs ab
solute quiet."
"Thank you, dear," said Cordon
gratefully.
Next day Cordon telephoned l)r.
Peters, who said that lhdeifo had
shown improvement. Hut he urged
that she be given a day or two
more.
Two apprehensive days passed.
The house, with guards both In
side and out now, was more than
ever an armed camp. Hut nothing
happened. Doris made every etlort
lo be friendly with Carlotta, und
the tension between them soon
eased.
On the third day. in Hie fore
noon, Dr. Peters telephoned.
"1 think tite girl's quiie normal
now," h said to Cordon. "She
keeps asking ror all of you. I think
it will he. all right tor you to run
over tomorrow."
"Can't I come today?" Cordon
asked anxiously.
"Hive her ono more night," said
Dr. Peters. "I'll tell her you'll In
here in the morning."
Cordon left it at that. At lunch
eon he told ihe others.
"May we all go?" asked Doris.
Cordon shook his head.
".Mr. Tyler and 1 want to lalk to
her- alone." Iu said gravely. "Per
haps she can shed some light---"
"or course." said t'atlotta quick
ly. "We can send Iot heaps "I
Mowers. And this alienmou I'll
run into the Hinge. There's
soinelhlng I know shed love."
"And I'll go with you," said
loris.
"Fine." said Carlotta.
"I don't think you'd better"
Cordon began.
"Nonsense," said Carlotta.
"Nothing's goim: to happen lo us
in broad daylight. We'll take one
of the chautteurs."
Cordon glanced at Tyler, who
shrugged. Somewhat tebiclantly
Cordon agreed, lu the afternoon
they appeared, ready to go to the
town. At the last moment Cor
don insisted on Han i irau's going
with them. Doris protested that
this wasn't necessary, hut Car
lotta smiled indulgently at her
husband, and said if It w nld make
him feel easier, K was a fine idea,
they promised to r'lurn before
du-;k . . .
Hut when darkness r.ime. they
had neither returned tmr tele

Tyler tried to reassure him, saving

women on a shopping orgy, for-

wire. Nat and Tyler could hear
her voice plainly. It was full of
exictement and fear. "Dad ! We
can't find Curlotta anywhere!"
"You can't find her?" Cordon
demanded.
' "We got separated in one of
the shops," tlie agitated girl said.
"1 we've looked in every other
lit ore in town, thinking she'd slip
ped off to buy some secret gift for
1 lelene. I ud, uomelhing dreadful
must have happened.. She she's
simply disappeared!"
Gordon's face went gray. "Dis
appeared?" 1m repeated tonelossly.
Then-i his voIlj rising: "Disap
peureiF.'" HiB hands dropped limply. Ty
ler supported him with an arm,
and Nat 'seized flu; phono from
his nerveless fingers. He could
hear Doris frantically calling into
the phone.
"Carlulla's disappeared." C o r
don repealed dully.
Nat spoke lo Doris, while Tyler
still kept a firm grip on Cordon's
arm.
"Tell them lo wait right where
they are." said Tyler. "We'll be
there in fifteen minutes."
Nat. repeated this. Cordon, with
a tremendous etrort, pulled him
self together, lie waved Tyler's
arm away.
"I'm all right," he suid. . "We
must go at once. There must bo
some mistake. They haven't look
ed for her properly. We've got to
find her." His voice rose, almost
shrilly: "We've got to!"
"You go with Cordon, order tho
ear," said Tyler to Nat. "I'll join
you in a couple of minutes."
Nat nodded, and left the house
with Cordon. Tyler quickly put
on his coat. Ho glanced up tho
stairs toward Ruth's door. All was
quiet. Ho shook his head, puzzled.
Then lie mounted the stairs. He
opened his daughter's door, called
to her. She woke instantly.
Ho went to her side, took her
band.
"Ruth," bo 8ahl gently, "some
ill in u's happened. Did you get
an t hing?"
He felt her hand tighten, con
vulsively. "No." she said. "I've been tak
ing a nap. 1 had a headache. I I
got nothing. What's happened?"
IP r voice loso suddenly, frighten
imI. "Not milt der?"
"No, no." he said.
"Helene?" she asked. "II a s
something--"
"Carlotta," ho said. "She's dis
appea red."
"Carlotta?" said Ruth, puzzled.
"Carlotta? I don't understand
at all."
Tyler kissed her, and urged her
to lie down airain.
"Welt probably rind h-r. lh"ti."
bo said reassuringly. "S u r e I y
you'll have known if anything ser
ious had happened "
"Hut I got not hing." she repeat
ed. bewildered.
Tl r gentlv pressed her hack on
Hie pillow. He lold her he was po
ini: lo iu e.oUale. hut that Nat
would stay with her. Nat was al
ready m the car with Cordon and
NeNon when Tyler cainn out. Ho
was disappointed at being left be
hind, and started to protest.
"Some one has to stav with
Ruth." Tyler eaid.
"t know," said Nat. "Hut can't
Johnson--"
"No, no." Tyler sharply.
"You miii-t stav."
Nat nndihd resign-, My nnd
climbed mil of the car. The chauf
feur stepped on the accelerator,
geais meshed, and the car roared
down the diMeway. Nat. watched
it descend to the main road and
disappear swiftly in the direction
of the tow n. ,
"Just my luck!" he muttered dis
gustedly. lu the car Gordon leanM tor
ward, urgiug the chauffeur to
make faster time. Tyler and Nel
suu were silent. The harassed Cor
don was in no mood for conversa
tion. He kept bis hands clenched,
staring straight ahead, repeating:
"Faster, faster!" Ills mask of a
face was oddly incongruous with
the pain in his eyes.
They found Hoiis, Harrlgan and
tlie chauffeur, the same chauffeur
who had driven them to the sani
tarium, waiting for them on the
mum street of the town. JJorls'
face was tragic.
She ran lu Cordon and threw
her arms ubout him. Gently be
freed himself, turned to Harrlgan.
The man met his eyes squarely.
"I wanted to tag along with
them when they went into that
store," he said. "Uut they wouldn't
let me."
Doris nodded.
"It wasn't his fault," dad," she
said. "It was mine! I should never
have left her out of my Bight."
"You've been everywhere?" Gor
don asked.
Harrigan nodded.
"Wo went to the stores we
hadn't yet visited," he said. "They
all know her, of course. Hut no
body 'd seen her. Then we went
hack to all tho stores we'd, been
in. She hadn't returned."
Gordon stared helplessly at Ty
ler, who addressed Harrigan.
"You called all tho hospitals?"
"There's only one in this hurg,"
"aid Harrlgan. "She wasn't there.
Wo went to the police-station too,
'e'iilng maybe shu'd been hit by a
cur or somethiu'. Hut thero'd been
no accidents reported. The cops
snooping around now,"
"Suppose we can't expect much
of them," he admitted.
Gordon motioned to Tyler and
hurried into a drug-store. Tyler'
squeezed into a phone-booth with
him, ami Cordon gave a number.
"Tho sanitarium," he explained.
"Perhaps she slipped away to sur
pilse Helene."
"Hut she doesn't know where
Helene is," ;uid Tyler, surprised.
Cordon turned away from the
phone.
"That's so," lie said heavily.
Some one came on tho wire, and
be spoke, giving his name, asking
if his wife had been there or call
ed. She hadn't, llo asked how
Heleno was, then, and was told
she was much improved.

Here's to You Stranger!
Here's a side elevation of the
average delegate at the political
Olympics.
He is a home-loving citizen
who manages to crowd all his
affection on a penny postcard.
Ho gets more instructions than
a tourist asking questions a t a

He -pays his own expenses
there and back. He is a trust
ing individual who actually be
lieves that the bosses count
his vote.
He will Join any stampede up
the aisle without knowing the ob
ject of the ankle excursion. He
would manage to live and grow
fat if the government plowed every
crop under except the hot dog
and popcorn.
We do not know his reaction
In these conventions, which
will be wet. At the dry conven
tions of '20, '24, '28 and '32 he
managed to get his stagger

mysterious as Hendrick Hud
son's northwest passage.
At San Francisco. Chicago, Kan
sas City, Houston, Now York.
Cleveland and points hopeless,
every spot was an artesian still.
You could have your clothes clean
ed by the breaths in elevators, and
the alcoholic odor in hoto! lobbies
was like black damp in tho coal
mines. One spark would have ex
ploded tho works.
Allowing for the stresses
and strains of human nature,
we judge the 1936 conventions
will be unusually sober and
dignified. The aisle-stampedes
will not be as rough and noisy
because nobody will join them
to walk a jag off.
Thn hnntlog liquor of !)2l was
poison. Tho legal booze of is
overtaxed. There doesn't seem to
bo much choice.
If the delegate of 1936 is
the same delegate of 1932 he
will not know whether he is
getting good liquor or not. In
his time he has absorbed boil
er compound, fusel oil, lamp
black, various blends of car
bolic syrup, wood alcohol, cor
rosive denaturants, shoe pol
ish both brown and black
hair oil, shaving lotions, white
iodine, bath tub gin, coal scut
tle rye and rainspout Scotch,
All of which has shellacked, var
nished nnd simon Ized his tonsils
and carbonized his tasto. His judg
ment is as bud as the pup's who
chased tho wildcat. Cive him the
best and the finest that money or
influence can secure und skilled
hands v distill, nnd he will still
be homesick for a horrible mixture
of mucilage, depilatory and water
proofer poured out of a rubber
boot.
