Valley-Wide C. of C. Needed
As time rocs on and as the Valley continues to de
velop the need lor a Valley-wide chamber of com
merce becomes more and more apparent.
Chamber of commerce executives of the Valley,
who already have a Valley-wide organization, realize
the need for such an institution.
They also realize the need for a slogan which ap-1
plies to the entire section and have launched a move
to secure one. A committee composed of J. E. Bell, j
San Benito chamber manager; S P. Neilson of Se- j
bast ian. and Harry Backer of the Donna chamber, has
been named to determine a method for selecting such
a slogan.
But these chamber of commerce executives will
not be satisfied with the selection of a slogan-an or- j
gannation to use it and to carry on Valley-wide de
velopment moves Is seriously needed, they realize. ^
“The slogan must have a touch of romance, savsj
Bell, "It must picture the Valley as a land of orange
blossoms, of tropical palms, of cooling, perfume
scented breezes, of the finest, spot on earth, in fact."
“It must be something whih would not apply to,
any other section of the universe—it must be of the
Vt“And the word ‘magic1 is out-there is no magic in
the Valley—it is real and a slogan must leave no doubt
on that score.”
The Valiev chamber of commerce idea has been
tried out and has failed. But that was before the
action had reached its present state. The organiza
tion. which struggled along for about three years, was
under-financed and regarded as a step-child.
The next Valley-wide chamber of commerce must
be adequately financed; it must have a
constructive program; and it must be * tfc* handsof
directors and executives who have the ability to make
a success of it. No less than the outstanding leaders
of the entire section must be trusted with ite man
R It will be organized some day—it is so patent that
such a facility is needed that the demand cannot be
always ignored. The proper method for financing the
organization is the biggest problem to be
The old Valley-wide chamber was financed n
membership dues. This proved wholly inadequate. A
maior part of the time of the executive was consumed
in collecting sufficient money to defray bare operating
expenses. There was nothing left for constructive ef
fort. The next organization will avoid this fatal
shortcoming. .. ._
It Is to be hoped that the Valley-wide chamber,
when it is organized, will have at Its command a fund
for national advertising. Possibly the first advertising
budget will be small, but if it is well handled by com
petent men It will grow from year to year
It mav be found that a tax will be the best way to
finance the activities of the organization-or some
Other plan may be found best. If the tax is really
peeded it will be possible to overcome objections of
the legislature and get necessary laws enacted.
From Prison to Power
Former Mayor Roswell O. Johnson of Gary, the
great steel city of Indiana, served a term in federal
prison as a conspirator against the national prohibi
tion act. After serving many months of the term
pres. Coolidgr restored Johnsons citizenship with a
pardon. He returned to Gary. He announced as a
candidate for the republican nomination for mayor.
The count showed 33.300 votes for the former convict
and only 9766 votes for his rival who had been elected
to serve as mayor of Gary when Johnson wis sent to
prison Johnson is a republican. He smashed the
republican machine, running as a republican, and now
he is the big voice of the great steel city of Gary,
where Foxy Jim Watson of Indiana is an idol of the
tteel kings and gets the ballots of the steel workers
when a candidate for senatorial honors. Public opin
ion appears to be on the side of the man convicted of
liquor conspiracy.

WASHINGTON. May 14,-The official women of
«P ^
Washington have hit upon what might be termed a
‘ million dollar idea.”
At any rate, whether or not it can be described by
such a lofty term. It nevertheless is true that the idea
has proved so dazzling to the public that the dollars
are fairly tumbling in.
The idea is a cook book—“The Congressional Club
Cook Book.” Its backers are those women in the na
tional capital whose husbands are members of the
United States senate and house of representatives.
The writer is informed that already this compila
tion of recipes has netted its producers between $25,000
and $30,000. And the profits are climbing with every
day.
A glance at the book and it is easy to understand
why it is rated as a best seller. The compilers over
| looked nothing to make of the volume one that would
I appeal to every woman.
In the first place, the paper covering bears upon
its surface the title of the book, with the additional
notation. Foreword by Mrs Herbert C. Hoover.” The
book itself is bound in a most artistic fashion
But it is in the contents of the tome that the great
est appeal is to be found.

CHAPTER XLI .
Brill's head came cautiously in at
the window. He glanced around,
frowned, and climbed in. He stared
at the disarranged furniture, at the
overturned chair, at the broken tea
| cup on the ground. His frown deep
1 ened.
“I told you to wait!” he snapped
suddenly, as the professor began to
climb through after mm.
"Am I to get soaked?” retorted the
profesor rebelliously.
Brill gave an angry exclamation,
and moved swiftly around the hall.
As he neared the passage. Charlie
dived back into the kitchen, and
frankly shut himself up in the cup
board He heard Brill enter the
; kitchen after him. and endured ten
i horrible seconds, during each one of
j which he expected the cupboard
I door to be pulled open: but appar
ently Brill satisfied himself with a
j superficial investigation of the room,
for after his steps made a single,
slow tour around the table, they <
returned to the kitchen door
There they paused. The professor j
had come along the passage, still in
a state of grumbling inquiry.
“What are you doing?" came the
professor's anxious voice. “Is any
thing wrong?"
“You saw the state of ..he hall,
didn't you?" Brill's voice snapped
bark.
"It looked as though somebod)
had been here.”
"Somebody has been here. I'm
quite aware of that. The question
I'm trying to decide is whether
they're people we would like to be i
here, or not!"
“People we would like to be here?”
queried the professor. “What do you
mean? Only you and I come here,
don’t we?”
There was a short silence. The
| question was one evidently requir
| mg a careful answer. When the
careful answer had been decided on,
; Brill said:
"Listen to me. Mr. Cunningham.
As a rule, you and I are the only
lieoplc who come here. Yes. cer- i
tainly. But our little business is near
i completion non*, is it not? and. that
I oeing so. I am taking certain addi
tional precautions. One of those.
I you already know—"
“Yes. damn you. sir, I know!”|
(burst out the professor. "You have'
{stolen my daughter. And if you do
t not give her back to me—”
“Would you mind speaking a little
less loudly?" suggested Brill, with a
menacing note in his voice. “I fulfill
my compact, and return her to you.
if you fulfill yours. If you fail In
yours—and you may fail, if you at
s tract people w*e don't want to this
house—you shall certainly not get
your daughter back. Is that clear?
And I may remind you. Mr. Cun
I ningham. that if you attempt to
harm me. vour daughter s last
j chance has gone.”
“You're a devil. Mr. Brill, if ever
I there was one.” muttered the pro
! fessor. desperately.
“I serve my master." replied Brill.
1 now speaking more quietly, "and if
the master I serve is not the master
■ you serve—then I sunpose I am a
devil in vour eves. That is the rule
of the world, is it not? However,
we won't go into'ethics Perhaps
your own aren’t spotless, because, in
our first davs together, you were
quite willing to serve my master, too
—for a consideration."
"Only because I was in debt—you
know that—"
“Yes. I knew that. But. I did not
get you into debt. Mr. Cunningham
Complete your job. and you shall
receive your recompense—and your
daughter. And remember, that if
you hadn’t weakened and tried to
back out at the eleventh hour. I
| would not have had to applv pres
sure. and your daughter would have
been quietly sitting in her garden
now*, at this moment, instead—well,
of being somewhere else."
Again there was a short silence.
Brill was preparing another careful
answer.
“That is a foolish question. Mr.
Cunningham," he said, at last.
“Would I let you know that? But
she is in safe custody. And now let
me tell you of another precaution I
have taken. It occurred to me. when
matters failed to go quite as smooth
ly as I liked that a little rtxra as
sistance would be useful. So I im
ported that extra assistance—and it
is at hand. Mr. Cunningham. Make
a note of that, please. You. your
self. were weakening—I have seen
that for several days. I could not
afford to take chances—if you serve
me. I serve someone higher than
either of us—and so I secured the
necessary help I might need, and
kept it ready. I did not trouble to
tell you all this before. Why
should I?”
“Do you mean—you got these peo
ple to come here, for the special
purpose of kidnaping my daughter?”
demanded the professor.
“That was one object. There were
others. You remember, a caretaker
appeared here a little while ago—"
“And ran away again.” interposed
the profewor. ”Yes. what about
him?”
“Just this. It was necessary for
him to run away. You understand?
He was growing a bit to curious
And today another caretaker has
come upon the scene. I have had to
cause him to run away. too. He ran
away. I imagine, just before you and
I came along. Which explains. I
think, the overturned furniture."
“Then he'll communicate with the
police!" exclaimed the professor, ex
citedly.
“I don't think he will be allowed
to do that.” responded Brill, dryly.
“If. by ill chance, he does—well, it
will be unfortunate for me. I admit
—and for you—and for your daugh
ter. So you see. the sooner you
descend and get to business, the
better for all of us.”
The professor groaned.
• You've got me where you want
me,” he mumbled, “but one day
there'll be a reckoning, Brill!”
“One day we shall all die. Cun
ningham. And then the whole farce
will be over. But meanwhile—we
play our parts. And now, please, play
yours.”
“All right. Open the damned
door Are you coming down with
me?”
“I am certainly coming down with
you. Do you think I am going to
miss the most interesting moments
of our whole association? Now, then
—we've talked enough!”
It was not the heat of the cup
board that caused Charlie to per
spire. The conversation he had Just
overheard confirmed his worst
doubts. Celia had been kidnaped,
and was in the hands of Simon Brill.
And. if Brill were thwarted. Celia
herself would be the first victim!
In the space of the five seconds
that followed the cessation of the
voices and the resumption of their
footsteps along the passage. Charlie
strove to get through an hour’s
thinking. Instinctively, and also
through policy, he tried to clarify
his buaing mind by concentrating
on one point, and letting all the rest
go hang. That one point was Celia.
His sole object must now be to res
cue her.
Joscelyn and Rupert confined in
the darkness below—Brown flying
through lonely lanes from merci
less revolvers—the poor laborer be
yond help in the ditch—and the
profesor's own troubles—these must
be deliberately wiped out of his
mind if he was to be of any use at
ell. The situation was too big for
him. its various needs too great. But
perhaps his inefficient powers might
be marshaled into some sort of util
ity that could be dedicated to the
saving of an innocent girl, who had
already looked to him for aid. from
the horrible fate that hung over her.
Where was she? That was the
question Charlie tried to solve in
those desperate five seconds. Brill
had implied that she was in the
keeping of the "extra" help he had
imported—of the two people who
were now chasing Brown. If so.
would they both have left her?
Possibly they might. Celia might be
locked in a room in the evil-looking
in near by. or in some other hovel,
just as Charlie, himself, had been
locked in the room upstairs. On the
other hand, she might be close at
hand. Yes—might be down those
very stairs the professor was about
to descend! It would be like Uy
i sardonic Brill to keep her close, and
meanwhile to put the professor off
the scent. Brill might want Celia
under his own eye—so that he could
apply even greater pressure, should
the necessity arise, and should the
professor have any more "death-bed
repentance’ concerning whatever
diabolical work he was carrying out
below'.
By the time Charlie had reached
this point, in his thoughts—and
thought travels faster than the pen—
the footsteps had died away. This
meant that Simon Brill and Profes
sor Cunningham were reaching the
door under the staircase, through
which they would soon pass. Charlie
slipped quickly from his cupboard
and. recalling the success of a for
mer attempt to create a diversion,
decided to repeat it. Only this time,
instead of a tea cup. he substituted
a weight from the kitchen scales.
Running glong the short passage.
he stopped at the point where the
lower portion of the staircase pro
truded. Round the angle he could
now hear the two men at the door;
and it was with a queer sensation
that he listened to the click of a kev
and then the sound of the door
swinging open. On his right, across
the leunge hall, was the window. A
second later there came a sharp
cracking of glass. Charlie had
hurled the weight through
"My God—what's that!’’ gasped
the unseen professor
'Go down—go down!” barked
Brill. "I l follow.”
For an instant Brill came into
view. Charlie pressed himself against
the wall, and prayed. But Brill was
not looking his way. He was look
ing. as Charlie had hoped, towards
the window, with its new' hole. There
was no obvious evidence at the mo
ment whether the hole had been
made by something passing out or
by something passing in.
If something had passed In. the
missile should be somewhere upon
the floor, and Brill did give one
hasty glance around; but in that
hasty glance it would be easy to miss
some small object that might lie in
the shadows, and meanwhile a sight
of the assumed attacker from with
out might be lost. Thus, fortunate
ly for Charlie worked Brill s mind,
as he ran to the window and poked
his head out. Behind him. Charlie
took a deep breath, slithered across
the back of the hall, and ducked
Into the shadow of the farther side
of the staircase.
The door was wide open. Ahead,
the professor fumbled with a snot
light. Behind, still at the window,
was Simon Brill.
"Whew!” thought Charlie. "I ex
pect I’ll be dead in a minute!”
The professor called querulously:
“Come on. BriM—come on!”
"If Brill comes on. I’m dead now.”
thought Charlie. For once, luck was
in Charlie’s wav The professor did
not turn, being too anxious to reach
wherever he was making for. and
Bril! remained a few' more seconds
at the window. When Brill left the
window, and looked toward the
staircase door again. Charlie had
disappeared, and was groping his
wav down into the black abyss.
"Boom!” rose up at him from the
depths.
Charlie had been wet in the cup
board. Now he was sopping,

tQ recondition a
Model T Ford
THE Ford Motor Company is making a new ear,
but it is still proud of the Model T. It wants every
owner of one of these cars to run it as long as
possible at a minimum of trouble and expense.
Because of this policy and because of the
investment that millions of motorists have in
Model T cars, the Ford Motor Company wiH con
tinue to supply parts as long as they are needed
by Ford owners.
So that you may get the greatest use from your
Model T, we suggest that you take it to the near
est Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost
of any replacement parts that may be necessary.
You will fitad this the economical thing to do
becabse a small expenditure now will help to
prevent costlier repairs later on. increase the
value of the car, and give you thousands of miles
of additional service.
For a labor charge of only $2.60 you can have
your generator put in first-class condition. A new
universal joint will be installed for a labor cost
of $3. Overhauling the carburetor costs $1.50;
steering gear, $3.50; radiator, $7.50. A complete
overhauling of the rear axle assembly runs be
tween $5.75 and $7 for labor. An average price
of $22.50 covers the overhauling of the motor j
and transmission. I
These prices are for labor only because the if
need and number of new parts depend on tbs’
condition of each car. The cost of these parts is
low, however, because of the Ford policy of manu
facturing and selling at a small margin of profit.
