Miller, general counsel for the

is working for Hoover. That Is
getting pretty close to Wall

here that tho reports of Wall

encouraged liy Charles D. Hilles,

who is in tho uncomfortable, posi*
of having tried to ride' over

FLINT, Mich. —(UP)-Worried
mothers kept their children in
doors for a dull holiday Saturday
as clue after clue to the slayer of
6-year-old Dorothy Schneider
proved useless.
Police were convinced the man
who kidnapped and killed tho child
and mutilated the body with the
skill of a surgeon, was a resident
of this city. They sought a man
of unusual intelligence, possibly n
respected member of the commu
nity, gone suddenly insane.
A slightly stooped man, wearing
a fur hat, and when last seen,
traveling in an old sedan, was
sought by police and sheriff’s dep
uties through Michigan and nc.gh-
boring states. Despite highway
patrols and search of underworld
resorts, the feeling grew thnt the
slayer either had escaped to Chi
cago or some other large city or
was living in a placid existence
here amidst neighbors who did
net suspect him of being the
hunted man..
Mothers grew hysterical with
fear of new attacks.
More than fifty suspects have
been arrested, questioned and re
leased. Some still were held for
further questioning but there was
little evidence that any was con
nected with the crime.
The slayer apparently had es
caped ns cleverly as did Edward
Hickman after the murder of
Marian Parker in Los Angeles.
Hickman slipped through a hunt
covering all of southern California,
made his way north to Seattle,
Washington, and then . retraced
hi3 patn to Portland from where
he traveled cast. He waa capture
e d at Pendleton, Oregon.

Athens is not different . from
other cities—property values hero
have always been on a sanely
conservative basis, at limes ris
ing to safe higher levels, and
wnile there has been no wildly
speculative booms, investments in
both business and residential pro

MEANS OF TRANSFER.
At times there is a wide field
between owner and investor—Be
tween the man whose property is
sought and the buyer who for
one reason or another desires it.
There the flowers of difficulty of
approach, of knowledge of the de
sire to sell end the desire to bty.
bloom; the pain of. unprofitable
ownership and the desire of valu
able foresight flourish. So into
this field the real cerate agent
steps, and witn his special train

his ability to aeo the financial
benefit to the owner and the suit

vestment to the buyer, coneumat's
a deal-that puts money into the
hands of all concerned and aids
in the progress and prosperity of
his city and section.
Athens realtors are of unusually
high typo—of splendid ability;
they are not only confident of the
prosperous future of Athens, but
enjoy the esteem of her citizens
They are men of experience in see
