Dick fidgeted. Finally he connected k EI Im_s receiving apparatus to the springs " of Garrick's beef and put on the head- phones. The room telephone rang and Garrick answered it. The message was from the Customs House. They re- ported that "K 902" was registered by Patmicl? Devins, Bridegport, Connec- ticut, a forty -foot cabin cruiser named "Lassie." Garrick had just finished copying it ','hen a loud exclamation crone from Dick! "Guy! It's a message from Ruth! Rene --I scribbled it in this book." "Please give this to newspapers.

Um I am safe and will be back the first chance I can swine ashore, Ruth Walden," Somehow ehov Ruth had cleverly con- trived to communicate with the outside \world by radio. Together, the two men hurried up a flight of stairs to Nita Walter's rooms. Dick blurted out the story. "Oh, what: awful peo- ple," shuddered Mrs, Walden, "But what can we do now. Oh, there's any telephone ringing again." She turned from tete room phone be- wildered. "It was the Rae Larue girl -calling one. Oh, but there was hate and spite and jealousy in her voice! The little vixen!" "What did she say?" asked Carrick. "I can't begin to repeat the flood of words. Why, you'd think that I, Ruth's mother, had tried to frame up some- thing against her! She said, 'I'd have you know that Tack Curtis is my hus- banid. I won't have that daughter of yours coming between us, and I've told him so, 1'11 squeal. I'll hand the whet() bunch over, first'" "Bully!" interrupted Garrick to Nita's astonishment. "Got 'em fight- ing among themselves. Hell hath no fiery—and all that. You couldn't want hitter guardian for Ruth than that wonuur scorned! And I'll bet shell do.seniething the first chance she gets. Item, let me have the wire, Central where did that last call to the Club come from? Can you trace it? Prom the gravel works at the mouth of the harbor? Thank you." "1'1! be darned --oar harbor!" ex- claimed Dick. "From your boathouse, most likely," said Garrick. "We'd ceder get down there. Nita, have Mc1{ay drive us all down. And hurry!" They were coasting down the hill a fes hundred feet front the boathouse when ;McKay jammed on the brakes. Just; over the tops of the trees could be seen the vcof of the boathouse. But beyr,nd, in the harbor, was a rowboat with a girl and fellow in it. They seemed to he sn ugg'irg, The next instant there was a huge column of wetter, a pug of smoke, and black wreckage of the brut, 1t seemed that 4'mm, a stdit second bel re, the two had tcupgled overli n I'd or leaped, Then rem the .'leen report.

As he got nearer he could make out with hie glass that they were transferring stuff from the houseboat to a scout cruiser up alongside," Glenn nodded, "It was our floating storehouse, the 'Sea Vamp'." "Well, as he got nearer, ht, made out what looked like two men strug- gling with a couple of girls. The scout boat was drifting away from the lmuseboat, then. The girls seemed to be tied. That must have been Ruth and: Vira. Then another girl came Prom the cabin, She must nave had a knife or something', for she cut the m.ter two loos:, Some sailor.. came on deck. The scout was pointing out into tie Sound by this time. One of the men grabbed the other and dutig him overheard, This Devins couldn't catch the scout so he kept right on till he came up with the 'Sea Vamp.' Who should he find there, pacing the deck and cursing a hlue'strsak but Captain Bruck—dumped overboard, double- crossed, and left behind?"

Cooking Soils Of Interest to All Hot House Owners The partial sterilization of soil by heat ]las recently been investigated by Dr, W. N, Bewley, director of the Experimental and Research Station at Cheshunt, England, says Science News -Letter, a Science Service pub- lication (Watslliugton). We react: "Dr, Bewley finds that the heat not only destroys pests and diseases but also greatly increases eon fertility and encourages the production of healthier plants. Soils are created for about half an iron' at rho tempreature at boiling water, Heavy soils re- quire more heating than light sandy soils, The bacteria and fungi which cause diseases in plant roots are des- troyed, but the beneficial soil bacteria are not kited and have Euler scope for their development. The heat also causes complex organic and inorganic ' substances to be converted into shn- pter substances which are more use- ful for the plant and the soil bacteria.. The heating may be carried out either by baking the soil or by passing a current of steam through it, Steam- ing Is the' best method, as baked soils often become dry, and if overheated they are ruined, The heating must be thorough, especially in the case of badly eontaminatel soils, If some parts of the soil are iusuificlettly heated, centers of Infection remain, from which disease organisms vapid- ly spread through the rcet of the soil," CHARM The beautiful women is not al- ways the one who creates the great- est ferment and emotion In a mat's life.

Seventy seconds after the receipt of the alarm and before the man on the porch has a chance to reach the elver bank, the pollee cruiser comes to a stop under the tree'. The man in the river is hemid cul, sputtering :and very much olive. This is lint one of many examples cited front the amazing new chapter bent.; written to the metals of police work by the automobile natio. To the police of Detroit goes the credit for ushering in this new era of a•hn- Mal mveligation, They have weld- ed the radio and motor -cat' into one of the most effective weapons ever de- vised to combat crime. The Stat° police of Michigan have installed a radio system and are pinmlhtg to spread a network of re• cell/rig sets not only on its own patrol cars but. in the entice of every sheriff and chief of pollee in the State! Chicago, Cleveland, Berkeley, Cali- fornia; Buffalo, New York, and High. land Park, Iuichigatt, also have instal- led the same system. Philadelphia, and Youngstown, Ohio, are consilor• Ing similar installations, as In New York City, which may have all of its 100 pollee cat's equipped with radio In a short tone Of the practical results of this In- novation William P. Rutledge, Com mlasioner of the Detroit Police De - Pertinent, says, as quoted by tate Led- ger writer: "Snaring criminals in a radio net- work, woven by broadcasting to radio- equlhped pursuit cars, has become a matter of seconds. Seconds are pre- cious to the !awbrealkere. They spell the difference between escape and capture. The wider the margin of time, the better his chances to escape apprehension. "By the use of radio we are catch- ing the criminal red -]ranted. We are eliminating the introduction of eir- cumstantiai evidence in trials by in- disputable moot of guilt, Murderers have been caught at the scene of tato crime before they had a chance to dispose of their weapons. Burglars have been captured while still piling up their Loot in homes, "I3ewilclered auto thieves have gasp - ad ae a police car roared alongside of them a few moments after they ,had stolon a car. Speeding hit -run eriyet's have been captured and re- turned to the spot where they had run down and left their helpless vle- tim a few seconds before. "')'hugs have been captured while in the act of robbing their victims. Racketeers and bad -cheque Passers have been caught.

It hos applied to its own tactics the emphasis upon science and speed. In order to inject even more speed into its already unmatched mobility, the department has just strengthened its war fleet by forty-seven new radio. equipped cruleet•s, especially built with the copper-wired:melt iantenna concealed within the roof structure.

Detroit was hampered for a long time because it fabled to receive permission to operate Its owut sending station. Police alarms tend to be sent through a regular local commercial studio. Besides breaking In on en- tettainuuent programs, these alarms served to attract great crowds to tete scene of a crime and also served to Warn criminals who utay bate happen- ed to be bleteniugdn. Which is what happened !net April in Chicago. A woman, observing a burglar leis- urely heating an apartment n.cross the street, telephoned the police, They, 15 turn, notified Station 1\ (N 2o that word might be flashed to touring police Cat's.

In a corner a radio was goring full blast, 'rucked uncles the ltd was this note: "Dear Radio Nan --Thanks for the tip-off. You'ye a swell amonncer, l; m now signing off," There were other serious objections to the use of a comute•clat station for the broadcasting of alarms, And one of them, wo discover, had a some- what comic tinge: Ono evening more than n year ago nn officer of the Detroit police was strolling down one of the city streets. Presently he was mildly started to hear the honored strains of "Dream. Ing Alone in the Twilight" issuing from a parked police car. Edging toward the car, he peeled arottnd from the rear.
