What’s more he did it all right without injury, and was quite overcome when they told him the fall was worth SIOO. But. later on, when he came to the cashier's office, he didn’t ask for the check. Instead, he presented a bill from a downtown hospital. “Just send the money to them,’’ he said. “My mother is there.” Gus Meins, director of “Our Gang” comedies, caught a 10-year-old smoking a cigaret on location the other day. Investigating, he was still more amazed to discover every kid in the troupe well supplied with the forbidden tobacco. Explanation was that the catering company had not noticed that the order was for “Our Gang” and, as a special courtesy, had included two Turkish cigarets in each box-lunch.

The famous British police I ' force dealt w ith 21 capital crimes i (during the year. The O'e murderer who managed I to escape London's detectives was responsible for the death of a Cyp-; riot language master named Dr Angelos Zemenides. A 20-year old pastry cook, also from Cyprus, was tried for the shooting of Zemenides, but was acquitted on the evidence of ballistic experts. The crime which temiwrarily I baffled the police and attracted the most attention was known as the "blazing Sited murder." A builder named Samuel Furness murdered a rent collector. Walter Spatchett, and after placing his own ring and other identifying articles on the dead ma t. set fire to the shed which contained the body. The murderer was caught, but committed suicide in his cell. Closer international police cooperation kept I.ondon practically free from spectacular coups by international jewel thieves.

The 75 year old explorer retired a number of years ago and the retirement was so complete that his death was not generally known until today, although lie died yes-i terday. Wellman first won fame as an Arctic explorer but it was his, unsuccessful attempt to cross the; Atlantic in the dirigible Ameriia in 1910 that gripped the imagination of the nation as widely as| when Lindbergh flew alone from. New York to Paris. The America was crude in extreme compared to the latter day zeppelin type dirigibles. It was 228 fee long. Two motors of 80 horsepower each propelled it and one of 10 horsepower served as a donkey engine. The most startling feature of the America was ' her equilibrator which trailed in the water and was designed to keep th” ship at an average heigh! of 200 feet. This device succeeded only in wrecking the America when “be was 72 hours at sea. She had traveled north, then doubled back hoping to reach Bermuda, but ehded her voyage when she sighted the S. S. Trent 400 miles off i Matteras. She had traveled 1,001 miles. From 1884 to 1911, he was/ Washington correspondent for the Chicago Herald and the Chicago Record-Herald. He eventually gave up journalism to devote all his time to exploration. He- was an intimate friend of President
