Police Lead Again The pistol shooting record set by the J Phf at Price in ranking with Salt Lake City's department above all contenders entered from the state, again bespeaks the efficiency of the Provo officer?. Wien one considers that Salt Lake City had 170 or more men to choose its seven experts from to compete, and Provo had available but the required seven, the mark made is even more to be applauded. It is not to be wondered at that the celebrated Federal Bureau of Investigation itself commended Chief Henry East and his men. In achieving its mark the city police force exceeded among others the state highway patrol of some 50 men, and the Salt Lake county sheriff's force. Only by two pomts did Salt Lake City police manage to eke out a win over the Fro-voans Fro-voans with 471 of 500, which any target expert knows is excellent meet shooting. In individual honors Traffic Sergeant O. E. Pedersen starred With 93, second only to J. E. Mansfield of Salt Lake City riolice, who led by a one-point margin. Good marksmanship comes only with constant practice, and it is indeed a credit to Provo's police to have every available avail-able man on the squad take part against the cream of the state's officers and come out ahead. Their daily practice is well rewarded, and the people of Provo may well be proud of the feats of their local peace officials. Kill That Fly With all the talk of armament in Europe, it might be a good idea to consider the purchase of weapons. Now, definitely, defi-nitely, is the time to arm yourself with a fly swatter. For open war has been declared on the common housefly, house-fly, which is all too common. New York scientists recently marked a swarm of flies with dye and released them. On the following day some were captured as far as six miles away from their starting point. The average fly carries about one million germs, but loads of twenty, thirty or forty million germs on a single fly are not uncommon. The house fly is a common carrier of such diseases as typhoid fever and cholera. The average family of Mr. and Mrs. Fly makes the Dionne offspring seem minute. The number of offspring which may develop from a single fly during a season runs into the millions and billions. Arm yourself with a swatter or a can of fly spray. See that your windows are screened. Kill your quota of these pests. A Neighborly Dig In addition to making your lawn look better, you're doing the sporting thing when you dig up the dandelions around your house. Atr" least the person who allows them to go to seed is a poor neighbor. For those white, fluffy seeds that are gone with the wind may play havoc with Jones' lawn in the next block.

They became very good friends on closer acquaintance. ac-quaintance. Another little story the able merchant told proved the practical prac-tical results possible from trying try-ing to understand the other fellow, fel-low, his problems, his outlook and his quirks of character.

HANSEN SAINT MARK Mark, the writer of the Gospel bearing his name, is generally supposed to be the person called John, surnamed Mark, wno was the, nephew of. Barnabas. Peter called him 'Marcus my son,' 1 Peter 5:13, probably because he had converted him. Mark was the son of a certain Mary, a Jewish matron of some position who dwelt at Jerusalem, Acts 12:12. Of his father we have no record. We hear of Mark for the first time in Acts 15:25 where we find him accompanying Paul and Bar nabas on their return from Jeru-4 salem to Antiocfh. A. D. 45. He next comes before us on the oc casion of the earliest missionary journey of the same apostles A. D. 48, when he Joined them as their minister. Acts 13:5. With them he visited Cyprus (Cyprus, is the largest island in the Mediterran ean, situated between Cilicia. vajtd Syria. The island is extremely fertile, and abounded in wine, ou, honey, wool, copper, agate, and a beautiful species of rock-crystal There were also large forests of cypress trees. ) In Acts 13:13, we are informed that Mark left the apostles for some unexplained reason and returned re-turned to his mother and home in Jerusalem. Later on we find him at Paul's side during that apostle's first im prisonment at Rome, A. D. 61-63, and fs acknowledged by him as one of his few fellow laborers who had been a "comfort" to him during the weary hours of his imprisonment. Col. 4:10.11. Next we find traces of him in 1 Peter 5:13: "The church that is in Babylon saluteth, and so doth Marcus my son." He must 'nave joined Peter, his spiritual father, the great friend of his mother, at Babylon, then and lor some hundred years after ward one of the chief seats of Jewish culture.- We find that after his stay, for some time in Babylon that he returned to Asia Minor; -for during his second im prisonment, A. D. 68, St. Paul writing to Timothy, charges him to bring Mark with him to Rome, on the grounds that he Was "profitable "pro-fitable to him for the ministry." 2 Tim. 4:11. From this point we gain no further information from the New Testament respecting Mark. It is supposed, however, that he joined Paul at Rome where Peter also seemed to have gone and suffered martyrdom with Paul. After the death of these two great pillars of the church, ecclesiastical ec-clesiastical tradition points out, tbat Mark visited Egypt, founded the church of Alexandria and died in martyrdom.

"But we're rather busy," was the reply. Whereupon they final ly got down to the subject of Spain. The delegation maintained that the bombardment of Almeria was an act of war arid that the United States should declare an arms embargo against Ger many and Italy. "You're Just taking sides In a factional dispute," Hull replied. "I can't afford to do that.

Somehow the black liquid raised her spirits appreciably. "Have you,' she asked suddenly,' sud-denly,' heard from Gerry Neal?" In the darkness she sensed Speddon's surprise. "Neal?" he repeated. Then, a moment later, "What about him?" "1 just wondered if you'd heard from him." "Where did you see him last?" Speddon asked oddly. "He was with me in Monterey, and later in San Francisco." She did not add that she had caused Neal's arrest in Eureka. Speddon's reaction to the subject of Gerry Nea puzzled her, and she did not know how far to go. "What did he say about me?" Speddon wanted to know. Martha hesitated. "He said that he knew you. I .don't remember him saying anything else. He wondered why you didn't wait for him in Los Angeles as was planned." "Yeah?"

He seized every soapbox in every vacant lot," complained the secretary, "and inveighed against the government that saved him. You can see the difficulty dif-ficulty in which that places me the next time an American gets into trouble and I have to appeal to the German authorities." Finally Congressman Coffee of Washington asked: "Mr. Secretary, if the bombardment bombard-ment of Almeria doesn't constitute consti-tute an act of war, can you tell us what does?" "Read the Neutrality act," shot back Hull. "I have," replied Coffee. "I helped to pass it, but it's up to the state department to interpret it." The meeting got nowhere, ended after strict admonition by Mr. Hull not to say a word to the press. NOTE: The delegation included Jerry O'Connell of Montana, Robert Rob-ert G. Allen of Pennsylvania, Byron Scott of California, John Coffee of Washington all mem bers of Mr. Hull's own party and John T. Bernard (Farmer-Labor) (Farmer-Labor) of Minnesota.

I'm still afraid he will but after this job I'm done We're close to Canada, and that's where I'm heading." a IT ARTHA felt gone, lost. She knew now that she had somehow some-how hoped that Neal wasn't a criminal, that his connection with Speddon and Betty's disappear ance was the result of some cil cumstsnoes over which he had no control. But now here was the truth Neal was in it with all his heart. Speddon had wanted to go straight, and Neal had fought it. "I don't trust that guy," Speddon Sped-don went on in the darkness. "I got a hunch he's after me." "But why did you take Betty with you?" "She made a crack that sounded like she knew too much, and I figured it was safer to have her along." Martha set down the thermos with a trembling hand. "But what is all this this 'racket'? What have I to do with it?" "Plenty," grunted Speddon "Whether you know it or not" "But what is it?" "I've shot off enough. Anyhow, you'll sleep better nights if you don't know what it's all about." Martha knew from his tight tone that he realized he had talked enough perhaps too much. She had got as much from him as she could. "You've untied my hands," she said. "Would you mind taking the rope off my ankles? It's hurting." "Okay. The boys'll be here any minute now and you'll have to do some walking." Speddon's deft, thin fingers unloosened the rope at her feet. Then Speddon fell utterly silent, smoking in the darkness. Periodically Period-ically the tip of his cigaret would sear the blackness pitilessly, throw a soft glow on his sallow face. It was plain that he was thinking hard. What manner of man was he, Martha wondered. SUDDENLY, far down at one end of the dock warehouse, there was a sound of a heavy sliding door moving on its rollers. Then the bright rays of a powerful power-ful flashlight. "Here's the boys," Speddon said. "Come on." He took Martha by the arm, lifted her to her feet. : Her legs and arms stiffened from their long imprisonment, she almost al-most fell to the floor again. The flashlight came on. bathing Call For and Pay Cash, 11 (Do p&ff For Dead or Useless Horses Job raids in the relief fight was that sponsored by Represen tative Sirovich.

"We're all right," the voice replied. re-plied. "There ain't been a patrolman patrol-man past this dock in five years. Come on . . . the tub's ready . Coming through the partly opened door and into the keen air, Martha saw the "tub" at the bottom bot-tom ot a ladder lashed to the piling pil-ing of the dock. It was a sleek speedboat, rising and falling easily with the movement of the Sound. "I'll go first," Speddon said, "then the dame." One of the two men held her arm roughly while Speddon started start-ed down the ladder. In a moment she heard his voice drifting up to them softly. "Okay . . . send her down." Gingerly Martha put her feet onto a rung of the slippery wooden ladder. Afraid to look at the water, she started down. Then she felt Speddon's hand' on her waist. "You're all right now. Sit down aft there." HTHE two men followed like monkeys, tossed off the mooring moor-ing lines. There was a muffled roar from the high-powered motor, mo-tor, and the speedboat took a wide turn and started out across the moonlit Sound. Suddenly one of the men came toward her with something white in his hand. "There's no need for that," she heard Speddon say. "She's not going go-ing to jump overboard." The big man turned to his adviser. ad-viser. "It's the chiefs orders." "I dont give a if it Is. There's no need for it I've given that dame one shot of chloroform today and that's enough." "Listen, Jack I'm working for Johnny Ciznik, not you. He said he wanted her out when she came aboard. So she's going to be that way, see?" Martha tried to scream as itfe evil-smelling cloth was clamped against her mouth and nose. "Go ahead and yell," the fellow laughed. "That'll make you get the stuff all the quicker." In that last terrible moment before be-fore she lost consciousness she wondered if she and Betty had become involved in one of those vast crime " rings which, until un-til now, the had always believed to be only the fiction of the detective de-tective magazines.
