Those who are governed least are governed best,' "The power to tax is the power to destroy." Thomas Jefferson. A New Word One of the newest nouns in the vocabulary of everyday life is "tourism.'' ' It's so new that the dictionaries as yet don t tell us whether it's a disease or an economic condition. Applying it to ourselves, we know that it's at least halt malady, and that there's nothing economical, at least, about it. -' The professional tourist-lurers and what an army 01 them the auto age has brought forth use the word "tourism." They tell us who are afflicted by it exactly how much we are worth on the hoof in a given state, how much we are worth to a community in packages of say 10,000, and what our total value is to the people of the United States of America. For instance, a new set of facts compiled recently shows that the average motoring tourist spends six days in each stHtP he visits, and that he leaves behind him $47.94. The tourist, who is at once the victim and the chief beneficiarv of tourism, was worth just about $10,000,000 ves, a million dollars to the state of Utah in 1934. And the American Express company reports that pleasure pleas-ure travel is edging toward second place among America's major industries. Tourism is worth so much more to this state and many other western states than many of its so-called "major" crops and industries, that it's a wonder we don't all go into the business of entertaining tourists at $47.94 per week apiece. As a matter of fact, some of the shrewdest business minds in many western areas are delving deeply into the facts from which we dug those given above. "Tourism" is coming into its own in a bigger and better bet-ter way, sure enough. Thing of it is, though, who in heck is going to stay at home to greet the visiting horde of tourism victims and collect their toll of $47.94 apiece.

Our Young Drivers A BOOK BY BRUCE CAJTQN j If you don't like to look the in-explicable in-explicable In the eye, I suggest that you stay away from Hamlin (Garland's "Forty Years of Psychic Psy-chic Research" vMacmillan: $3). Here is a book that will leave you absolutely stumped. It is by all odds ..the most sober, matter-of-fact study of supernormal phenomena phe-nomena that I have ever seen, and , indisputable facts which cannot be explained on the basis of anything science "now knows. Mr. Garland, one of America's most distinguised novelists, began be-gan examining psychic phenomena back in the '90s. and he has been at it ever since. Kis findings are weird and uncanny --and, what is more, they are convincing. Let it be said at once that they have not made a spiritualist out of him. He does not believe that any of the queer manifestations he has seen came from the spirit world or, indeed, that there is a spilrir world for them to come xfrom. He is convinced, however, that ,there are odd forces in this world that we do not begin to understand; under-stand; that such things as ectoplasm, ecto-plasm, for instance, telekinesis, thought transference and second sight do actually exist. Mr. Garland took elaborate pains to avoid being fooled. Some of his records if you are an ordinary, ordi-nary, skeptical citizen will utterly ut-terly dumbfound you, so com- rpletely does all chance of fraud seem to have been eliminated. The Most Danqerous Aqe (Rrrccntoq ChotKp in Death Rote 922'IA) 160 107 Average 43 5352 Ml -7 UoJcr 15 15 To u 25 To 44- Ovtt 45 Many ask the question, "which is the most dangerous age in driving an automobile?" The chart above gives the answer. It shw6 that between be-tween 1922 and 1934 inclusive the rate of death from automobile accidents acci-dents in the United States increased 107 per cent. Grouping all the age3 under 15 shows that the rate of death has decreased 7 per cent. If the ages are grouped, however, by each five years, the data developed by the Travelers Insurance Company Com-pany disclose that the only reduction reduc-tion has been in the group of live to nine, where the rate of deart haa decreased 26 per cent. Hats should be off to this group and to the police and teachers for the savings in life. The really serious fact that this chart brings out is the very great percentage increase in the death rate in the group between 15 and 24 years of age. A part of this age corresponds cor-responds to the high school group. Such a bad record gives emphasis to the question whether high schools everywhere shouldn't be providing instruction in the safe use of the automobile. CHAPTER XXIII fyilE Bhooting of Dutch Lenz " brought about panic among the passengers. Their murmurs rose crescendo, but the fresh onslaught of the Btorm battering another life boat from its davits and hurling It out to 6ea. brought about a more active sense of their danger. They began to mill about aimlessly. They had been calm, but now they moved about, chattering like shrill monkeys. Rumors flew. Why bad there been no reports from th bridge? Had the ship been driven off the course inside the reefs? Were they all doomed? It was suddenly every man for himself. It was a mad scene of fear, stark and in some cases, abject. ab-ject. For 80m e reason the men crowded out of the bar. The alcoholic al-coholic spirits inside them no longer compensated for the lack of life preservers about their waists. Instinctively the family groups drew closer together, clutching their life belts as if they were afraid of having them torn away. But no such move came from the men. In the moment of greatest danger they merely sought the companionship of human beings in the lounge. Two of the ship's officers, their oil-skins dripping water, circulated about and tried to calm the people. There was no relaxation in the stern discipline the crew maintained, main-tained, but the passengers misinterpreted misin-terpreted these gestures. But the orchestra played on. Ken Martin, recovered from his blow and sensing renewed panic in the crowd, began to sing, and Linda Lin-da Bayes watched him. She joined him, and hand in hand they sang, high above the huddled groups of people. Some of their courage went out to the audience. Two lovers in the storm, they had come together. Linda had proved her love for him at last! Ken was content. npHE detective wanted to ask LLn-da LLn-da If she knew anything about the person who had started to strangle her in her stateroom, but fe questioned Jane instead man?" "Of course it was a man!" Jane said, "but he was masked, and bad a cap pulled down. I couldn't tell whether I had ever seen him before. be-fore. It all happened so quickly, and the lights were dim. He had on a heavy coat, and he looked rather large, bulged out. I don't 4hlnk he knew I was in the state room with Linda, The roll of the ship flung him against the wall, nd saved her from " "I believe there's only one man in this," Snowshoes said. "The man who killed Mannie Jackson, stole the Kokinor diamond, and then to cover up his crime made attempts on the lives successful in one instance in-stance of Dutch Lenz and Linda Bayss, is that man. He's abroad on the ship." "Dutch Lenz may have committed commit-ted the first crime." Dirk said obstinately. ob-stinately. "Now he's dead. The Kokinor Ko-kinor may have changed hands." lint then Snowshoes looked more puztled than ever. Jane watched him. for her own mind was racing long Impossible channels. The detective de-tective said suddenly. "If Dutch Lenz didn't send that note to Linda Lin-da Bayes. who did? Who else could It have been? Somebody ashore In Nassau," he added quickly. Then his eyes had a sudden light in them, and he said, low: "There is a passenger on board this ship who is not a passenger. He is the corpse! And he's walking around on two legs like any of the rest of us." Jane was aghast. "You mean, a man came on board in that long black box? Somebody ashore " "That's Just It!" Snowshoes said. "It could hae been arranged. We'll have to question the ship's officers who had the body In charge, but they're on heavy duty now. trying to maneuver this ship through the storm " ''But if there is another man in the crime, who stole the Kokinor diamond from Nora Lane's suite?" Jane said. "Where is Millie?" ON0WSH0ES was rubbing his bald spot again, and he had to grin with discouragement. "I think I'll Just go round up the corpse, and let the rest go hang until the storm is over. I don't like the idea of a corpse running around below." be-low." With Dirk at his side the detective detec-tive went down to Deck B. and cautiously approached the stateroom state-room where Linda had been attacked at-tacked by the masked man, The ship took a bad roll once, and they were thrown into a heap on the floor, while the lights dimmed completely and then glowed feebly again. They were lying there, breathlessly breathless-ly still, when they heard a sound of tapping in the passage-way. They lay still, and listened. There it was again, and it sounded more than a tap. Something was beating beat-ing against the door of a steward's linen closet. They approached the closet with due caution. There was a simple lock on it that might have slammed shut. The key was in it But there was undoubtedly some person per-son .behind that door, trying desperately des-perately to get out Dirk propped himself in the aisle, and Snowshoes unlocked the door, flinging it open. Something tumbled out headlong and lay on the floor, uttering one shrill cry which was lost in the noise of the hurricane. her she ran away from them, up the stairs and into the lounge. They ran after her and caught up with her just as she flung herself, her-self, sobbing bitterly, at Madame's feet. She clung to the old dowager dowa-ger and handed the jewel-box to her. "Millie, what have you done?" Madame was saying. TIIE companion was almost hys--- terical. "I've been locked up in that closet for hours." she 6obbed. "I thought I was going to die. 1 screamed, and screamed, and nobody no-body couVi hear rne. I was running run-ning from him. and climbed in the closet to hide. When I closed1 the door I "Was locked in " "Running from wh"m?" the de tective said. "That man! They woke me up. the stewards running up and down when the storm started. I wasn't quite sure what it was. but I heard a noise in the suite next door. They were dragging something heavy over the floor. It was in the room where they put that corpse! I was shaking all over, and hid my head under the cov?rs for a long time But then I heard something !n Madame's bedrcom. and I got really scared. I thought It might be the thing come to life again. I pnt on my dressing gown and went in. When I saw the thing it wore a mask and was poking around !c the dark I ran to Madame's pillow, pil-low, and snatched up the jewels. She can't hear well, and didn't wake up. I got by the thing to tffe outside door and ran down the deck and got away from him. There were so many people running up and down. I saw that closet open, and climbed in. I don't know whether he followed me or not, I was so seared. Madame was murmuring, Tou poor child, you risked your life to save my jewels!", when Millie broke down. "I dont want to drown." she sobbed, brokenly. "I haven't got a life preserver. Everybody Every-body else has one but me. The ship's sinking, I know. And I was locked up in that black hole, going go-ing to drown, drown " The detective said, sighing, "Well, at least we don't have to And your jewels, Madame? They're safe." They paused while the ship went through one of those herculean shudders again. But suddenly the detective knit his brows closely together. "We haven't a single clue." he said. "This man is interested in diamonds dia-monds and won't stop at murder to get them. But we're stumped. It may be any one of these suspicious-looking touts on board. We can't keep track of them in this storm. And it ma? be the corpse that walks like a man, and throws his coffin, overboard in the storm," ne ended unhappily. The old dowager scoffed. "There have been queer doings on this ship since I came on aboard. I wouldn't be surprised at anything. Let it walk! Nothing bothers me any more. If I've stood this much excitement my heart is good for a few years more " "We won't 1ind the murderer until un-til we find the Kokinor diamond." Snowshoes insisted stubbornly. "And it may have changed hands on shipboard. And it'll probably show up in a diamond cutter's shop in Amsterdam, in a dozen pieces." (To Be Continued) 1 |
