CHAPTER XXXn
AFTER leaving the pantry,
Eileen went to the living
room. There, she found Bill,
Michael and Brenda. The two
men had been sitting there (or
the last hour or so, putting
way quite a few drinks and
talking endlessly. Brenda had
Joined, them when she left
Joyce's room.
Presently. Bill and Brenda
started home, but Michael lin
gered. "Eileen, I've been thlnklnf about
something. I think I've got a kind
of idea. I may be going mildly In
sane, but . . ."
"Well?" Eileen prompted.
"You know how it is. All through
this awful business, you get Ideas,
They flash Into your mind."
"I know." she said. "Sometimes
the most awful suspicions."
"Yes. And sometimes things that
teem absurd. For instance, there
may be significance in the fact that
Lena was murdered a few hours
after that photograph disappeared
from your room. Supposing Lena
. took It. supposing she'd discovered
something in It and wanted to look
at it again and think it out."
"What could she have discov
ered? What do you mean?"
"Do you remember that, besides
Clarice and her husband In that
picture, there was Deacharaps
Denlse's father? He'd been an old
love of Clarice's. Then there were
Pellx and Joyce as kids."
"I remember. What about It?
Michael dropped his voice.
Haven't you ever ' noticed that
children sometimes have the most
striking likenesses to people that
they lose later? It's a frightful give
away sometimes, I don't know if It
struck you"
He broke off suddenly and lis
tened. "What Is it?" Eileen asked.
Sh." he whispered. "I thought I
beard someone outside."
She listened, too. "No, It was only
bird In the creeper.
But be turned like a flash and
went out the French window. Bhe
aaw him go to the edge of the ver
anda and peer Into the bushes. He
threw her one warning glance over
his shoulder, then stepped out Into
the garden. '
Eileen waited there In the draw
ing room for a long time, expecting
him to come back. Finally, she
turned out the tights and went up
stairs. He must have met someone,
she thought, and not been able to
get back to her.
She returned to bed and. m time,
fell fast asleep.
THE next morning, at about nine
o'clock, Eileen and Felix and
Joyce and Denies were at break
fast, when Bill came over.
He looked around as ha stepped
Into the dining room, .
. . "Mike here?" ht asked.
Eileen felt a shock go through
her; she couldn't have said why.

Noted Surgeon
Dr, Verne
Carlton Hunt,

surgeon, was

Ephran
Mounoey,
who barged
Into Dr. Hunt's
office, said,
"Why didn't
you o oerate on
me?" fired
sis shots at
the doctor, and
later turned
the gun on
himself.
Or. Hunt was
naldered one
ef the finest
surgeons on
the Pacific
- Coait.
"No," she answered. "Why?"
"He didn't come home last night
and I was wondering where be
was."
Didn't come home?" Eileen got
up from her place at the table.
Bill shook his head. "No, I have
not seen him since Brenda and 1
left bun with you last night. Did be
stay long with you?"
"No. We had a little talk and
and then he went away."
Something tied Eileen's tongue.
Something prevented hr from tell
ing them all what Michael had said
to her and the Incident that had
cut It short. What had been the
meaning of It? What bad Michael
been going to say?
"Oh. why make a fusst" Joyce
asked. "He'll probably turn up."
"Suppose he's been knocked down
by a car or something," Bill said.
"He may have gone to see some
one," Felix suggested, "and didn't
ring for fear of disturbing vou
Where have you looked for him?"
"Everywhere. He hasn't been la
bis room or slept In bis bed." .
THERE was a silence. Denlse sal
quiet. She stirred and stirred bet
coffee.
Bill moved from foot to foot
"Well, do we do anything about It?"
"Yes," Eileen said quickly. "1
think we should tell the detectives
at once." ,
Denlse looked up then. "I suppose
you know what they'll think? He
disappears Just after Lena's death.
And they'll remember that It was
Mike who took Clarice her last
drink."
"Denlse 1 You're mad," Felix burst
out
"All right, but you're s fool If you
go to the detectives. My advice is
abstain from action. Know nothing,
tell nothing, keep quiet."
"They'll find out." said Felix.
""Let them. That's their Job."
Suddenly Denlse pushed her cup
away. It fell over Into the saucet
with a clatter. It was a clumsy ges
ture, very unlike Denlse. "You dont
seem to realize that we're all In
danger. We're In two sorts of dan
ger. One from whoever murdered
Lena perhaps because she was
going to meddle. The other danger
Is from the police. They want to ar
rest someone and I don't suppose It
matters terribly much to them
which one of us they drop on.".
Eileen was staring at her. "You
said something like this before
when we found Clarice hadn't com
mitted suicide."
"Yes. I did. but no one took my
advice, and what's the result? If we
had shut up the servants tben and
not allowed a word to get out. Lena
wouldn't be In the morgue this
morning."
"All right, an right." It was Felix
who answered. "I knew all that, but
I'm going to tell the police Just the
same. Mike may have had an acci
dent." . j

FAVORED BY RADIO
AVERSFCC CHIEF
Chains Would Move Educa
tional Features to Least
Desirable Time of Day.
Washington, Dec. 20. U.PJ
The radio Industry is trying to
put ' the squeeze on such long
time sustaining programs as
The Catholic Hour" and move
them to less desirable times,
Chairman James L. Fly of the
Federal Communications com
mission said today1.
Fly told the Senate Interstate
Commerce committee that Na
tional Broadcasting Co, sought
unsuccessfully to move . the
Sunday evening Catholic . pro
gram to a less desirable time
to make way for "Amos 'n'
Andy." Catholic opinion block
ed this move, he said, but other
sustaining programs have not
been so fortunate.
Town Hall Squeeied
"Town Hall" and the "Chi
cago Round Table," two educa
tional features, had been rele
gated to undesirable periods.
Fly said.
"The squeeze Is being nut on
sustaining programs," he told
the committee. "NBC carries
only an hour and 49 minutes of
sustaining program weekly dur
ing he hours from 7 p. m. to
11 p. m; Columbia Broadcast
ing System carries only two
hours and IS minutes of sus
taining time during the same
period..
"I question the long-range
wisdom of giving up their edu
cational features for commercial
programs." ...
He said. the pntgram content
on the air during the evening
Is on the downgrade,. while day
time programs are not being
Improved in content or in
variety.
"I wish this committee could
hear the NBC programs from
10 In the morning until 6
o'clock in the evening," he
said. I would like to see the
picture a psychiatrist draws of
a housewife's brain at 6 o'clock
in the evening after listening to
soap operas all day," '
In response to a question by
Sen. E. H. Moore, R., Okla.,
Fly said he would favor "speci
fic legislation requiring stations
to set aside a certain amount of
time, for educational programs
and public service programs."'
Committee Chairman Burton
K. Wheeler, D., Mont., agreed
that programs should be Im
proved. .
If you educate a Boy to read
dime novels, that Is all he will
want to read," Wheeler said.
"If you give American people
trashy programs, that's what
they will want to near." .
There must be many women
tor; whom, as for me, the dream
of having , a pretty and conve
nient home never quite comes
true. A woman's desire for a nice
home is as Instinctive as is her
wish to be wife and mother. In
fact, the trinity of desires are
woven into one and are insep
arable. Sometimes consciously,
sometimes only subconsciously.
lt is that dream home a girl has
In mind when she adds dainty
bits of household linen to her
hope chest: is with her as she
buys a piece of: gaily patterned
china. When she falls in love and
marries, that home is the most
outstanding thing In her vista ot
the future.

TRIBUNE, MEDFORD,
ence have taught me that a wom
an's idea of what constitutes a
good home and a man's do not
follow the same pattern. The
home instinct in a man la as
primitive as we are given to un
derstand are bis other instincts.
To the average man home means
simple shelter, simple food sim
ply served, and a comfortable
bed. To him, dishes are just con
tainers for food and any old cov
erlet will do if it but keep him
warm. He regards as feminine
whimsy his wife's passionate de
sire that the dishes match and
the blankets be soft and gaily
colored. And all he asks of a
house is that it keep out the
rain. He may endure her nagging
persistence about Venetian
blinds with gentlemanly chival
ry, but aid and abet her in her
unreasonable demands he will
not. A wife can't really hold his
attitude against him since its
Just how he's made.
Women react differently to
this situation. Yet each one sets
up her own individual defense
mechanism. My escape from re
ality Is to mentally take over the
homes of such women as have
those I most admire. Without
benefit of deed or tax receipts, I
Just walk into the house and for
the time being possess it. The
big soft chair in which I sit is
mine, as are the coffee table,
dainty napery and china.
The trim and petite Mrs. Mor
ris serving a plump and gray
haired matron doesn't know that
the situation Is reversed. It Is I
who Is saying, "Do have another
cup of coffee. And try this cin
namon toast." Oh, I'm a Molly
Moocher, I tell you I I sit right
there and without lifting a fin
ger I've polished the silverware,
vacked the rugs and dusted the
baby grand.
' One of my friends has Just in
vited me to come and see her
new window draperies. I hope I
find I've shown good taste in
their selection.
