"In the forthcoming election we will march under the banner of Wen dell L. Willkie. a life-long Demo crat" He added that the "thing to do is to defeat the Democratic party this vear and yet rid of the fellows who turned it ;nto tne new deal party. I "Sure Bet." The one-time brown derby cam paigner told reporters it looked to| him like "a sure bet tor Willkie" this j year. At one time he was President Roosevelt's close friend and political godfather. Mr. Roosevelt succeeeded him as governor of New York state. Their estrangement started when Smith lost "he presidential nomina tion to Roosevelt in 11)32. He had not. nor would he. Smith explained, make any financial con tributions to the Republican party. Neither, he added, had he conferred with either Willkie or other Repub lican leaders, regarding his espousal of the Republican cause. He said he planned to confer with Willkie regarding his part in the camnaign. but wouid wait until after the candidate had made his accept ance speech. UIKlt' jrrai>i:> cnnm. In Colorado Springs Willkie de scribed Smith last night as a man whose principles nad been followed by President Roosevelt and added he did not believe Smith could be ac cused of thinking more of money than humanity. The nominee made his statement after hearing that Smith had indorsed him for the presidency. Willkit recalled that Mr. Roose velt said recently that some of Will kie's supporters among the Demo crats were the type of men who thought more ot money than hu manity.

His look was serious and even silencing', though his lips smiled. His eyes acknowledged her ques tion, but did nothing to help an swer it. It was a now detective who did that. He spoke respectfully to the commissioner. "We've checked on Mr. Stafford, sir. He was out of the theater for nearly 40 minutes, dur ing the time when his band was off. Nobody was with him. The place where "Swing the Chorus" is playing isn't far and he could have made it." "You mean you dare to accuse Ronald of wanting to kill ME?" Linda cried. She stood before the burly commissioner, slim, white, taut. "Of all the silly nonsense 1 ever heard, this is the worst. Now I see how you get all your convic tions! You go around following in nocent people and trap them. May be Clarabell had some enemies. After all, she was shot! Why don't you look into that?" "Sure von haven't an enemy you have., l mentioned?" the commis sioner persisted. "Think hard." "Certainly not! I didn't put an ad in the persona? column for friends, but I had some, anyway. Please, may I go home?" The detectives decided that the people who were involved in the case might as well be dismissed. They had work to do, though. There were clues to trace, furni ture to examine for fingerprints, the dead girl's family to see. Linda thought of them at the door. "Have they been told?" she asked. "A man went out to break the word to her sister. There are just two of them. He hasn't come back." "Where does her sister live?" she asked. "I'm going out, too." "Better not. It's late and the neighbors will take care of her. Or we'll have her taken to the hospi tal if this upsets her. The sister's quite a lot older, I think." Some place a clock struck three and the rainy night caught the echoes and held them, as though it would hold time at a stand-still forever. "If you want to go out, x « down and hail a tab for us," Ron nie said. "They are hard to get at this hour on a bad night." A ww representative had just come from the police department.1 lie whispered something to the chief, who stopped Ronnie. "We're going to need you some more, young njan. Sorry to keep yon, but it's a matter of form." "Then I'll wait, too," Linda an swered for him. "Afraid you can't. We're taking Stafford back to headquarters right now. Ready?" Ronnie grinned. He stooped over and kissed Linda. "Honey, I never thought I'd get such publicity. It's a lot of nonsense and we'll have the city's apologies tomorrow. See you in the morning, or I may call you when you get home and I'm free from—well, free." "Still wf/nt to make that call?" Robert asked when Ronnie had gone. "I have to do something. Would you take me?" She felt very tired. She did not know that her face was white and her eyes enormous and dark and that she swayed a little in the hall as they went toward the elevator. Two operators were working now, due to the night's excitement. "My car's parked around the corner," Rob said casually, and she didn't notice the serious look in his eyes or catch the undertone of ten derness in his voice. "Wait at the entrance and I'll get it. A ride will do you good." It was cold at the entrance, for the rain was coming furiously now and the rose linen dress was not warm. She was standing there try ing to avert her face from a news camera, when Caroline, in the dark blue dress that was spangled with silver splashes, came through the door, followed by the artist. She clutched a paper in her hand. "Linda, what happened ? The pa per says that Clarabell Ackerman was shot while working at your desk and the police think the bul let was meant for you." Linda glanced down and saw her own face, gay and laughing, in the paper. Was it possible she ever had felt that young and carefree? Irrelevantly she said, "Where's Terry?" "It doesn't mauer. ne uiuii l come. Are you coming1 home now?" "No, Rob's taking1 me to see Clarabell's sister—some place in The Bronx, I guess it is. Ronnie's— oh, Caroline, the police think may be Ronnie did it, and took him along and they think I might have, too. It's a nightmare." ' The police are goop», darling, and the only person who wanted your scalp is Mina Nevins, unless it was—" Caroline paused, eyes frightened at the careles.s words she almost had uttered. "No," Linda whispered. "She wouldn't have. Yot there was that handkerchief with the "M" in the corner and the sweet, wild, unfor gettable scent that both women liked. Rob came then. He had a slicker waiting1 for Linda. It was many sizes too large, but she was grate ful for its shelter. He tucked a rug ■around her. Then he headed the car for The Bronx. His car was long and powerful and luxurious. Inanely, for this night was not a time for trivial thoughts, Linda wondered if Billie Anne had been riding in it that day. The streets of upper Manhattan were dark and deserted. Now and then a taxicab passed, throwing water into the air as it struck a puddle. The subway stations were bright and a few people came from them, lowering their heads against the storm. There was commotion, though, at the apartment house where the Ackerman sisters lived. Neighbors, who probably never had spoken to Clarabell, when she was a thin, quiet ghost moving among them, were awake. Women had appeared in dressing gowns and curler pa pers. Cars stood at the curb. Rob protected Linda from curi ous eyes, but he could not shield her from the voices. "That's the one," someone said. "That's the girl the bullets should have got. Good looking dame. Know her from the newspa per picture. I can see why a body would be jealous of her, but not this dish-water Ackerman girl." Linda shivered, remembering the sprawled figure, with the limp hands, and the green shade that was crashed around the bleeding wound on the girl's temple. She moved closer to Robert. They found the apartment number without any trouble. Voices canic from the living room. Kobert lifted the knocker. Al most immediately the door opened. Linda's eyes lost every trace of greenness in '"oriNuming dark ness. Tf>e lasfc >n,; luul pected in mid lit-- : ••'! i -i»•. i • • I to ihat jkniM-Kfi.

The release goes on to say: "In the summer and early fall when it is necessary to go into fields of tall grass or weeds. or wherever there is heavy undergrowth, the United States Public Health Service suggests the use of flowers of sulfur, applied liberally to the stockins and underclothing as a partial protection against 'chiggers'. "As soon as possible after beinr* exposed to chigger mites, it is ad vantageous to apply a thick lather of soap all over the body surface, and to allow the lather to remain on for ten minutes or longer before washing it off. Lather the body well a second time, then rinse thoroughly with 'clean water. "The mites are promptly killed by kerosene or !)."> percent alcohol, but as these liquids may be irritating lo some skins they should bo used with caution, according to the Public (Health Service. ' v "Contrary lo popular belief, the. ehigger noes noi burrow into tfit* >!%• n and ii11ix>ri its entire body. The mile apparently feeds on the ;;pper layer ill the isin all'.'!' this tissue lias been dissolved by ;i substance which the ehigger injects into the skin. It is the effect of Ihis substance which causes the inten> • itching associated with the attack «• I this annoying mite. "After the ehigger has become en gorged with food il loosens its hold and falls off." Every debasing passion is a con suming passion. \v\kki:.\ coi vi v ii\i;v STKITK ii\ ■ !:im\( Warrenlon.
