The utter indifference of the board, in the face of charges brought by officers of the law, stands unparalleled in Utah history. By its failure to act the board brands itself as completely dominated by its own administrative officers, and entirely oblivious to public opinion. There is no redress for an stand. The board members are witnout pay. and naturally take sary with board affairs. The only hope for. a closer ment lies in a return to the former plan, in which the board was made up of elected sjite officials. Legislation to bring this about, terminating the life of the present board, will doubtless be introduced at the coming session -of the legisla ture, although the "social experts" will doubtless launch a strong lobby to defeat such a Plenty For A plan for "development will provide work for every unemployed man in the country for the next 25 years," is being prepared by Labor Secretary Perkins, for the president. If this is a workable scheme, it's the biggest news since the armistice. Of course, there is no reason on earth why every American Amer-ican should not be usefully and profitably employed in developing de-veloping this country for its people. It is merely a question of tying up what we have in the way of raw material with our American brainpower. Hitherto, we seem to have been unable to do that. What we iijed. for one thing, is a change in what is called "business psychology." A good many of our great men seem to regard labor as a necessary evil instead of what it really is: A creator of wealth. When that fact becomes be-comes impressed, we shall start to get somewhere. One of our troubles was that, altho we created a lot of wealth, we gave huge slices of it away to Europe and so denied our own people the reward of their diligence. We have stopped that; what wealth we create in the future will stay here, for distribution among our people. We have often said before, and we say again: There is no reason why every American should not live in luxury, with Tlentv of eVervthing he wants. It is foolish to say that, with our resources and man power and brain-power, we cannot accomplish this state of affairs. We CAN. j And, somehow or other, we WILL !

WOW GO OW WITH THE STORY CHAPTER X DLEEKER looked across at Gritt. "Well." he said, -you've got quite a reputation for getting results. re-sults. I'm not going to worry about methods: those are up to you. What you want us to do Is to try to And Mary Brlggs which we're already doing and on the disappearance cases Involving some woman who has disappeared within the last 48 hours." "Correct," said Griff. "The first thing to do is to locate the girl. And In the meantime I will see the doctor In Riverview who thinks it's a poison case and will also Interview Inter-view Mrs. Cathay." Bleeker showed some surprise. "I thought you wanted us to make all the contacts." he said. "No," Griff told him. "I want you to. get the facts. I'm a criminologist, crimi-nologist, not a detective, I dont go out and gather facts but I want to contact the principals. I want to watch them talk." Bleeker smiled and said, "You mean listen to them talk." "No." Griff replied. "I want to watch them talk. I've found out vou can learn more about a person's character by watching his Hps wben he talks than In any other way." Bleeker looked thoughtful, slowly nodded his bead. Griff scribbled a number on a sheet of paper which he tore from his notebook. "That," he said, banding the paper to Bleeker. "is the private, unlisted telephone number which Is assigned to you for the life of this case. Give that number only to the men who are In your closest confidence. Don't ever try to caD me on any other telephone. When this case is over that number will be changed." Bleeker folded the paper thoughtfully. thought-fully. "There's something I'd like to ask you about." "What is it?" "Around 10 o'clock on Monday night the night our newspaper pulled Its boner by mistaking the imposter for Cathay a detective by the name of Sbtllingby was murdered. mur-dered. A man by the name of Decker was apparently the only eyewitness to that murder. He told his story to the police officer who first appeared on the scene and promised that he would be available avail-able whenever he was needed as a witness. There was a lot of con fusion. Decker took advantage of It and disappeared. Later on you telephoned the police that Decker had come to you." BY WILLIAMS i The government's monthly expenditures expen-ditures to care for the unemployed have been above $130,000,000 Relief rolls, meanwhile, are increasing. in-creasing.

"It doesn't," Bleeker said. "I'm representing a newspaper. Decker came to you. That was an unusual thing for a wjtness to do. He told you something that he didn't tell the police. As a newspaper man. I'm interested." "And," Griff said ominously, "you're using this other case as a lever to pry my lips open, and make me disclose a professional confl dence. Is that right?" "No. Badly as I want the news. I wouldn't do that. But remember that The Blade is employing you. It's Blade money that is going to pay you. We makp our money from distributing news. Sooner or later the facts about Decker are going to come to light. You'll know wben that lime will be. When that time does come I want The Blade to have the first chance at the story. 1 want it on the inside track." "Suppose," said Griff slowly, "it should appear that Decker was unnecessarily un-necessarily alarmed? Suppose that he doesn't know a thing other than what he told the police? Suppose be came to me in a state of fear which bordered on hysteria? Sup pose, further, that there was no reason why Decker shouldn't have vanished for a while? He had no business matters which necessitated his presence here.

"Would you." asked Bleeker, "say that those were the facts?" "No. I wouldn't make any such statement. I am simply asking you what your position would be If It should turn out those were the facts." "Then I'd appreciate it very much if you'd let The Blade 'discover' 'dis-cover' Decker when it's time for him to put in his appearance." Griff dropped his legs to the floor, pushed his tall frame up from the chair, 6tood six feet of lean, bard efficiency. The bathrobe flared open enough to show his silk lounging suit as he strode to the door and placed his hand on the knob. "Perhaps," he said In a tone of finality which left no doubt that the interview was over, "that might be arranged." He bowed and held open the door. rR. P. C.

Griff smiled and shook hi head Dr. Cooper's eyes became mort thoughtful. "I can tell you." paid Sidney Griff, "what I want to find out. and that's all." "And I." Dr. Cooper said, "can tell you nothing." "Even in the Interests of justice Doctor, you cannot discuss a case?' "When I have been employed tc treat a person."
