Weekly Americans Asked To Volun- tarily Reduce Meat Consumption Americans were warned last week 10 begin tightening their belts a #ittle and to prepare for meat ra- tloning probably this Winter. " But they are a long way from hunger and are assured, through substitutes, of a "top-notch protein diet." Z The vastly increased demand for meat has reached a point where rationing is considered necessary by the Food Requirements Com- mittee to assure a fair distribution of meat for civilians after military and United Nations demands have been met, . Civilians will be asked to vol- untarvily reduce their meat con- sumption through "meatless days" and substitution of cheese, poultry, dish and beans for part of their meat requirement, Within two weeks, packers will bo directed to limit to about 2 1-2 pounds per week por person the amount of meat they can sell in per capita consumption for the past 10 years, As early as possible, the com- mittee wants rationing to start. Since a rationing program cannot be made ready in less than four months, the committee urged the- olfice of price administration to prepare for it "as early as pos- sible". ~ Britain Brings In A Record Harvest Peers, Commoners, Young and Old Work Together To Save Crops Peers and commoners, school boys and servicemen are working eide by side in Britain's waving wheat fields, helping hard-pressed farmers bring in an all-time record . harvest.

Lemoy Statler has been hanged in Newfound- land for the murder of two men. But Statler was spy as well as a murderer, and Clyde Dawson of the Canadian Intelligence De- partment must find Statler's con: federates In a fifth column opera- lon against the R. A. F. Bomber Ferry Command. .All he has to go on is a snapshot of a girl who looks like a famous movie actress and a cryptic 'note about a broken "reunion date," which the haged man gave him just bemorée the exeCution, DISCOVERIES CHAPTER II, Afterwards Clyde Dawson won- dered what prompted him to at- tend the formal inquest that fol- lowed the hanging, Chere was no apparent need for nim as a mem- ber of the Canadian Intelligence Department "to- attend-- in fact, ho bad plenty of reason not to go because in the pre-execution por- fod he had developed a sincere liking for the condemned - Lemoy Statler. But the girl's snapshot with it's humorous reference to Hedy Lamarr had left him rest- less. Blind alleys made him un- happy. Statler's death didn't re- move the necessny of tracing, backwards to possible spy ring connections, If ho was involved with others they certainly follow- ed he trial and saw no espionage was hinted, They would feel that Statler, true to the spy's code, had kept his identity hidden even to death. Tho coroner moved briskly through the formalities In the penitentiary library converted in- to. a temporiy morgue. The doc tors made brief statements and the jury of witnesses passed a ver- dict of "death by legal execution." There was some discussion -about the disposal of the body until Da y- gon announced that in the absence of ~relatives--on- friends _ ho would. sce Lhat the executed man was given a Christian burial. That afternoon while having lunch at the Newfoundland Hotel, Dawson was paged for a telephone call It _was_the undertaker he had hired. "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Daw- son," he sald, "but you told me* to report anything unusual I may have found before removing the body to the graveyard, Well, there was only one thing--perhaps it is silly but..." : "Yes, yes, what is 1?" cut in Dawson, "Well, sir, in the heel of the --dead-man's_ right shoe between the sock and the flesh, was a plece of beefsteak." ol "A piece of beefsteak?' ex- ] claimed Dawson, hidden in it?" "Nothing that I could find, It was just a good piece of eirloin cut to the exact shape of his heel. Of course, it might be poisoned or ., ." Dawson told the undertaker not to remove the body until he had further orders. Slowly he walked -- back to the dining room, his mind in utter confusion. ""I'here are more goofy twists to this case than a pretzel," he mut- tered to himself. "Now why would a condemned man hide a piece of beefsteak in the heel of his shoe?" 'I'ne chief jailer knew nothing about It but summoned the six guards who had alternated in pairs on the Death Watch for eight-hour shifts, The answer to 'the riddle was alniost Tidiculous: ly simple. *"I'nis Statler fella hurt his heel walking in his stocking fect to the wash basin yesterday," one of the guards declared. "Ho stepped on abit of plaster and caused what he called a bone bruise.--te limped after that and then asked mo to get him a little bit of raw steak about the size of his heel-- | said it' was the only way to fix a heel hurt that way." : Dawson's eyes were beginning to sparkle. i "Any of you ever hear of that remedy belore?" Tho chiet jailer and guards all shook their heads. 'The Investigator ly: "That's because, gentlemen, you were never athletes, This has been a great help to me--thanks a million to you all." "Was anything smiled broad- UU Dawson actually felt cheerful -- as he phoned the American col- onel. The first ray of light bad poked through the mystery. The colonel listened attentively to Dawson's request. Yes, the U. S. Army Force had a physical "instructor with them, a" Sergt. Del Rose, formerly with some Illinois college--an all-round athlete and a top-notch instructor. "Perfect," replied Dawson. "Do you think you could rush him _ "er "To the penitentiary right away?" _ Within an hour, Rese was in the chief jailer's oflice. © Dawson seated him at the desk and ex plained the purpose of his re- quest: "If you aren't squeamish, ser- geant, there's a job to be done here afd 1 believe you are prob- ably the only man in Newfound- land qualified to do it = . ." the "sergeant smiled appreciation; "A few rooms down there lies the body of a man who was hanged this morning. 1 learned that he "Bavjug -muchinery:--- am uring the past two weeks, the Germans have made persistent at- tempts to set fire to haystacks and grain fields with new Incendiary __bombs, But fire watchers on. duly all night are believed to have pro "vented them from causing any ser- jous damage.

Gingerly, he began moving his fingers through the executed man's hair, "Here's something," he ex- 'claimed, signalling for Dawson to Jook closely, "There is another suture marking--three stitches | would say. You'll notice the cut was also of the sharp type.

Each man picked up one of the 'stitfened hands and' unclenched | the (ists--an extremely difficult task. "Uh-huh," said Dawson, "he played baseball all right--not as much as a professional, perhaps, but quite a bit judging by one badly twisted finger knuckle and another partially twisted on his right hand." "That's 80," agreed the sergeant, hand are intact because he must have worn the glove on this one. Now let's look at his hip . . . no doubt about it. Mr. Dawson, you note there is a patch of oddly col- lored skin on his left hip. That's + the result of what we call 'straw- berries' in baseball--bruised, torn patches of skin caused by sliding into bases." "But his right hip doesn't seem discolored at all," commented , Dawson. The Sergeant grinned. "You're a Canadian all right--don't know your inside baseball, A right. handed pitcher always slides on his lett side to eave his salary arm . . , get it?" There were no suture marks on 'the fronts of the deceased's legs but they noted a slight one over the Achilles tendon at the rear of. the ankle bone.
