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.

1 PROSPERITY
Vanderlip Says Solution Will
Bring Greatest Prosperity
in History of United
States.
LOS AXCFXB8, Feb. 2.
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.".'

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

' "Not that." laughed Nancy. "She

For Hard Coughs That

deep and difficult coughs where you

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

combating germs, it is rullsiilereil the

"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?"

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

"Yes. Another "4 hours would

"Miss Querdllng," went on Rich
mond, "was In her usual spirits
not apprehending troub'e?"
"Only the usual trouble"
"What do you mean?"
"She said when Marjorle married
she would not get a penny."
Tbero was a pause. Tbe supers
