fellow-rancher if he intended to smudge. Later in the night,
we would have welcomed a smudgepot or two, for to say it
was nippy expresses 'he meteorological conditions mildly. But
as is often the case we were too near asleep to ring for a blank

Judging by the conversation in the dressing room this morn
ing, there was nothing exceptional in our experience. One 200
pounder from Portland, an inspiring sight in his B. V. D's,
opined he had caught a hard cold, and emphasized the state
ment, by a series of sneezes, which interfered seriously with
the manipulation of his safety razor. If Dr. Brady is right, our
Rose City friend distributed enough "cri" germs hither and
yon to infect a regiment. Passing out at the Union station the

no doubt people will be gasping for breath before it's over. If

through, we trust, it will skip the month of August entirely.

He once sppeared at a benefit In

criminals or the art of tracking them.
The real trick In the mystery story is
not so much plot as suspense. Once
a writer has made a reader feel that
emotion of suspense he need worry
little about the weakness or absurdity
of plot,
Mystery story writing has always
struck me the most engaging of lit
erary pursuits. In no other branch
of the trade do writers have so much
fun. Usually they find It so attract
ive they live aloof In remote sections
of the country. The illustrious ex
ample of thla art Is, of course, E.
Phillips Oppenhelm, who has his
chateau In France, country eatAte In
England, a yncht and gathers most
of his material watching the fashion

Monte Carlo. He has rarely worked
more than four hours a day and at
70 Is still eager to set down his Im

The late Arthur Somen Roche liked
to plot his mystery yarns but dis
liked the actual writing and put it
off until editors were on his neck.
Agatha Christie writes most of her
tales late at night. She believes
night Is the most mysterious period

this atmosphere. Rex Stout Is slso

course, the master of them all, Poe,
wrote best at night by a flickering
candle with a storm raging.

supreme court bill. Of course, It
didn't matter much, for the supreme
court part of the measure was al
ready cooked. But his act was taken
as a friendly gesture toward tho
administration.
Hia reword was permission to vote
against the pro-labor measure with
out fear of political retaliation. While
the senator can't expect much help
from Mr. Farley In his 1938 battle
back home, at least there Is now to
be no sniping from the rear.
Which means, according to those
who ought to know, that Mr. Farley
will not have to look for a better
'ole when the New Deal barrage be
gins to pop over the conservative
dugouts.
Others In the party who are as
good tight-rope walkers as the Ohloan
may earn the name chance to Btey
on the reservation If they watch their
steps.
Friends of former French Ambas
sador Georges Bonnet, who left
Washington on a hurry call to be
come finance minister In the Chau
temps cabinet, have Just returned
from Paris and report that the pale
eyed popular diplomat regrets he
ever left the banks of the Potomac.
The financial reforms he has been
obliged to decree, to pull the French
treasury out of the mire, have got
him In Dutch with all his cabinet
colleagues. It seems that all the de
partment heads are In favor of cut
ting down appropriations except
when their own budgets are affected.
Despite the roseate statements to
the press, Int lmate friends of the
finance minister report him In a
gloomy mood.
Cabinet meetings In France have
days are stormy affairs. Members
threaten to resign if they don't get
the money. Bonnet threatens to re
sign if they do.
"Oh, to bo back In Washington."
Bonnet sighs. "My working day was
over at ft p. m., and at 6:30 I was
on my horse In Rock Creek park.
Here In Paris my day begins at 7,
when my principal assistants arrive
at my home to get their orders for
the day. At 9:30, I am at the office
receiving visitors, and. until 9 p. m.
1 do nothing but listen to people
who try to convince me that the
only salvation for France la to spend
money, though none of them tells
me wi-ere I am to get It."
To the pessimist. It looks very
much like a sensational Bonnet res
ignation before parliament convenes.
Unless the presidential candidate
tn 1940 Is convinced that he has the
luck of a Jefferson or a Monroe, he
will have to be a courageous fellow.
Indeed.

6 and Safety Is
Not Easy To Secure
These Days
A need for cash to employee in a business in which I
am interested causes me to offer for sale at face val
ue, plus accrued interest the following mortgage se
cured by a first lien on downtown business property:
Amount of mortgage $4500.00; Interest rate 6, pay
able each January and July 2nd, plus $500.00 on the
principal; Security, business building situated at 127
North Riverside and occupied by International Har
vester Agency.
If anybody wishes to accept my judgment I consider
this a grade A investment. It possesses the three chief
elements of a good loan, adequate security, an honest
mortgagor and one who has the ability to pay.
