Al DOORS AUTO NEW YOflK,' Feb. 26. (F) Illume for a constantly Increasing accident death toll was laid oil tho automobile Indimtry Wwlnostltiy liy( Dr. Louis 1. Dublin, statistician ot the ' Metropolitan i.ife Insurance company, in an uddress before the second annual Greater New York conference. Dr. Dublin said the American death toll now approximates 1 00. 000 annually and cunses monetary loss of more than a billion dollars. "The automobile," he said, "is the chief agent in this occidental killing and there seems to be a great deal of complacency about It. Actually, It is a horrible situutlon VJiich confronts us. Yet we Mo prone and take our punishment when we could be putting a stop to It. Challenge to Industry '"I throw the challenge directly to .the automobile industry, with its millions of dollars and Us an. semblages of expert minds which are interested In everything but Ihe human element. It is a deud wrong situation, and it is lime someone said this thing. The solution for these everlasting maitnlngs lies . with, this industry." 4 Auto manufacturers "foster a dangerous state of mind," Dr. Dub lin charged, by producing design edly fast automobiles and' adver tising with emphasis on speed. 11y Status Costly.

Tho greatest economic problem facing tho t'niied States is the proper distribution of its goods, Frank A. Vanderlip, financier and economist, told :i group of busi ness men Wednesday, adding thai the solution of this condition will lend a return to the. greatest pros perity "yet enjoyed." ' In the- past 10 yearn," the Now York banker said, "the utility of human hands has been doubled thrice by advances in Industrial mechanism. This Increased ef ficiency has produced vast sur pluses. The consuming power of the common people is junt as great, if not greater, but their purchasing power has declined. And this is due to an improper division between capital and la bor of the profits derived from this extra efficiency. The only way in which this discrepancy can be corrected Is by lower prices. Vag'rt Hlgli l'.nough. "There is but one way to se cure this objective. Wagen mo high enough and should not be Increased. Production costs have been reduced through efficiency to their lowest possible figure. "The key to the entire situation lies In proper distribution, which Is the greatest economic problem of tho dity. It'.- solution will mean the return of a prosperity incalculably greater than and yet enjoyed in the United State.".' TOLD CHEESE FUTURE HOG UK IllVEIt, Ore.. Feb. 26.

Chapter S THE BORROWED HAMMER SUPERINTENDENT Richmond's curiosity regarding the myatert ous car Green had seen as be bur rlod for the doctor was hardly satis fied by the meagre description the chauffeur gave. It was, h said, b Morris two-seater, similar to many In the neighborhood. There was do one In tbe car and tbe top was up The superintendent suggested that Oreen, knowing most of the cars nearby, could say whose It was. "There are lots of Morrises," said Green gruffly, "I.Ike Captain Stir ling's, but two Morrises in the dark are as much alike as black cats. 1 keep saying 1 don't know." He glared at the Insistent Richmond. " suppose the llgl te were on," suggested Jlmmle In his friendly way. "Did you notice the number." "No, sir. I was run-lnp for the doctor." But Jlramle's further Inquiry re vealed that when Green bad re turned the same way the car. was lone. Jlmmle exchanged significant glances with Richmond. Granting tbe story true, It would have been easy for a killer to hide In the stir, lows ot the gar Jen before es caping In a waiting car. Then they left him and went to the gardener's cottage to verity t'te story ot tbe h".mmer. "That's right," Ben Acres told them. "My 'am-ner wor broke. J 'ad borrowed Ted's. Hj coom along and fetched It" Tbus Green's explanation of bis brief absence from the garage ap peared confirmed. He was, It ap peared, at Ben's when Janet went out to the garage 'he first time to tell him of Lionel's slnglne and bad returned In time to moet her on her second call. It was, ns Donald sild the next morning, "a very queer business,'' but Jlmmle smiled wben be added, "If Jlmmle doesn't clear It up, 1 doubt It any one will. You believe (he chauffeur did It, don't you. Jlmmle?" "1 believe be could have done It, but that Is a dlfferen' thing." was the reply. "You see, there is really little to work on apar' from those letters, virtually no clues. When It's poison, you have an Immediate Held of Inquiry, and In case of shooting or stabbing, tbe weapon can be traced. But here a mass of stone Is pushed on a defenseless woman below. Motives In many quarters may be alleged In tbe case of a dictatorial woman. Tbe seat had been moved, but Miss Querd ling might have done that herself." Donald, Nancy and Jlmmle were at breakfast on the Wade verandab overlooking tbe links. Tbe tragedy was Inevitably the mornlrp's topic "Surely," said Natcy, "only a very strong person could throw tbe figure over?" "No," said Jlmmle. "We exam ined It very carefully a least, we examined tbe companion one that Is undisturbed. 1' Is beautifully balanced, but a girl couk' pusb It over. A child clmost might It fell quite live feet, and 1 suspect death was Instantaneous." "How terrible!" shuddered Nan cy. "Who could have planned such a thing?" "Was It planned, or war It a sud den wicked impulse?" answered Jlmmle, "A premeditate' crime may be well thought out, but there Is ot ten some oversight, seme slip, that leads to detection. The sudden Belzlng of an opportunity, as this may have been, Is far border to track down." "1 was sorry to hear about Mrs. Frater, poor girl. Is sh- really bad?" Inquired Nancy, ' -nglng tbe con versation. "Poor girl?" et'aed Jlmmle. "I pictured ber as at, fair and fifty Hve. A typical cook. Wha Is she like?" ' "Not that." laughed Nancy. "She might be 27. Sbe is not bad-look For Hard Coughs That Call For Super-Help Creomultion ii made for coughs faom coldt that bang on. For cougln deep and difficult coughs where you dare not rink a less effective help. But careful people use it for coughs which teem milder use it to do the utmost and be safe. For ne body knows where a cough may lead. Crromulsion combines seven major helps in one. Some coughs yield best to one help, tome to another. Doctors often differ on the best help, for coughs are not alike. So here we combine all the belt to be sure. Creosote stands first. Here it is blended, emulsified and made palata ble.

"A tribute to nutrtmony from an unexpected source. Has Daphne a sweetheart?" "1 believe Alt Collett, the butch er's assistant, could enlighten you on that point," smiled Nancy. "Why Is It queer?" "Don't you think so? Miss Querd ling lighting tor general virginity and surrounded by people who will, fall In lore! There are tbe letters,' probably wrlten, as Duckworth says,1 by two people. There Is the house hold on the premises, a policeman In the road In front, Mnjor Greabam on the lawn and Dr. Notherton lu the Inne. On the unexplained side We have a strange man wltb bis car near tbe trade entrance Been by the constable: a cloaked woman In the garden, seto by Duck worth; and an empty car beside the fence, seen by the chauffeur. Of course tbe cloaked woman may have come Id the car. If so, who Is she? Or tbe woman may have been a man not a difficult mlstik- at dusk and tbe car may not. exist at all! Richmond thinks Green Imagined It" "Tbe only thing that Is clear, Jlmmle," laugher! Donald, "Is that you are fairly Intrigued and you want to see It tbroug'i." Jimmie had arranged to meet Superintendent Richmond at Dr. Nelherton's bouse at ten." There he planned to supplement tbe doctor's official report with questions. "A good fellow, Nethertou, I suppose?" "Very," answered Nancy, "and you'll see his dear mother. Tbey are arranging some golf for you. And we'll get you a game with Audrey Winford. our best lady player one of Don's old iweet hearts. Wall till yon sji ber!" As It chanced, be was to see ber quite soon. Superintendent Rich mond, passing Fairways In his car. stopped to pick blm up and tbey went straight t- e doctor's bouse. Dr. Nelherton's abode v as a little beyond the golf course, on the side farthest from Morrow Craig and at the beginning o' the village. Its situation had suggested Its name ot Corner Cottage. It was quite old and Ita front garden was a blaze of flowers. The white-haired lady talking with a handsome girl was undoubt edly tbe doctor's mother, while Jlmmle, seeing the golt bag she car ried, decided her companion was Audrey, VVInfqrd, was right The olci lady explained that her son was In tbe surgery nnd would be out presently. Audrey Winford was an attrac tive girl and Jlmmle took to her at once, even.befo. t Mrs. Nother ton Introduced them. Not softly pretty, she had honest, open grty eyes and a humorous twist to her moutb. She looked self-reliant and capable. "I must be off," she addressed Mrs. Netherton. "Tell Bill I'll ex pect blm tomorrow afternooD." Their eyes followed ber down the pathway, ber gracef' l walk neither a stride nor a slouch While Jlmmle was admiring Mrs Nelherton's flowers the doctor came out the surgery door. Jlmmle observantly noted bis 'rood-humored face and his kindly blue eyes, not, however, mlsslrg the touch of obstluacy about tbe moutb. Superintendent . Richmond soon put bis questions as to the medi cal details It would be necessary to establish at the InqueBt to be held on the following Monday. Dill gave the Information required and everything seo'ter In orderj Then the police ofllcer said: "You and Miss Blake were talk-; Ing wltb the old lady for a few min utes, weren't yon?" 1 "Yes. I told ber about the cook." "The cook, 1 understand," put In Jlmmle, "Is a fairly hefty young woman. You left her In bed?" "Yes.
