KIDNAPED BOY IS FOUND AFTER SEVEN YEARS’ HUNT World Search Points to Gypsy Band In Torto Rico. JERSEY CITY. N. J„ July 8— Little Jimmie Glass has been found. A seven-year search and a mother’s prayer and yearning have been rewarded. On May 12, 1915, James Douglas Glass, 4 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Glass, went out to play. He never came back. A week ago positive Information was received by the Department of Justice that he had been located at Aquadllla. Porto Rico, a member of a traveling band of gypsies. Ordered to Hold Boy Cables were dispatched to Federal agents there to hold the boy, now 11 years old, until a member of the family can arrive to Identify him and conclude one of the most remarkable kidnaping cases known to America. After pofice in every American city had failed to find any trace of the missing boy the family as a last re sort appealed to the Department of Justice. Thousands of circulars were printed and sent to every Government agent. Early In May word was received from Porto Rico that a gypsy band answering the description had been seen In the Island. They-were trailed through the brush and Jungle foi many days and finally located. Measurements Tally With them was a boy answering in every detail the description of Jimmie Glass. Measurements were sent which tallied exactly with scien tiflc calculations of what they should be at his present age. With a woman’s intuition the mother believed that the boy had been kidnaped by a band of gypsies that disappeared from the locality When the boy was missed. The mother first ascertained the name of the band of gypsies and then appealed to the officials. WHISKERS STAND TOGETHER Famous Onb Members Take Up Fight Against Swindlers.

I’ve known any number of good woodsmen who have gone into camp without an ax or even a belt hatchet. But how do they get their firewood? Good campers never use an ax to get firewood. They use what the Indians used to call “squaw wood." Squaw wood Is the dried branches of trees that the wind has blown down. Nature has constituted trees so that they prune themselves.

First Half of Year Gives Decidedly Bright Outlook
BY W. IL GRIMES. NEW YORK. July 3.—The first half of 1922 has shown distinct business progress and steady advancement of confidences, despite & coal strike which effectively crippled the production of fuel Rail Strike Less Vital Somehow the business world has come to realize the railroad strike as less of a pessimistic factor than the possible settlement of the coal strike Is an optimistic factor. The coal strike does seem on the way to settlement now through the efforts of President Harding and If production can be started up soon. It still will be time enough to care for current needs and provide for winter storage. # It Is probable some let down In the progress that has been recorded will be felt In the next few weeks. Inventories are taken In many plants at this time of the year but the shutdowns la no case will be as extended as a year ago. Here Is the way the principal Industries look at the last week's developments: Crops Generally Good. The Middle West shows crop reports of a generally good tenor, although some Injury has been done wheat by the unseasonably hot weather. Wherever cotton Is mentioned the boll weevil Is spoken of In the next breath, but the government report to be Issued Monday, It Is generally believed, will show a better condition than several private forecasts which have come out during the past week. Corn and spring wheat seem to be doing well, and a record hay crop Is being harvested. Retail Trade on Up Grade. Big chain stores continue to report Increasing sales. The surplus grain producing regions report a disposition to buy more freely. The dry goods group reports a distinctly upward trend -and salesmen report steady and conservative buying In anticipation of better sales In the near future. Steel Prices Higher. Finished steel prices are higher. We Will Help You to Save Safely jflrtrbrr Cfetirings enfc Crust €omjuus

dry branches develop, shed them Just as a snake sheds Its skin. When the wind blows, these dead branches spilt and splinter and finally fall off, and the three thus loses useless incumbrances. Well, these dead branches are "squaw wood” and It Is this wood dead, dry and sapless, that the real camper finds on the ground, breaks over his knee Into convenient fire lengths and carries back to camp. However, If you do take an ax or hatchet to camp be sure that you know all about how to use It so that you do not have an Interrupted camping trip because of a few missing toes or fingers or a lacerated foot or shin. I have seen so many serious accidents happen In the woods that I always feel like warning my young woodsman friends to be very careful of their ax and observe the woodsmen's rules about handling it. Oh, yes, woodsmen have regular unwritten rules about the way a man should carry and handle an ax Didn’t you know that? No? Well, I give you them as briefly as possible In the diagram. They are the same rules that we adopted for the Boy Scouts of America. Tomorrow Dan Beard tells yon what kind of pets you can catch and tame.
but demand continues heavy and buyers in nearly all cases are urging speedy deliveries. Demand for cement for building as well as road construction has been a strong stimulant. There has been sbme softening of lumber prices. Hardware, paints and plumbing materials are doing welL Textiles Are Quieter Demand 1s quiet, although better than It has been for some time, but despite this prices hold firm. Striking mill hands In New England are slow to return to work, although mills have resumed operations In many cases. Silk goods send good buying reports and underwear and hosiery' are active. Shoe Men Optimistic Western shoe manufacturers send good reports and factories are getting under way In New England with a good outlook. There Is some lessening ci demand for hides and leather, but the prices continue firm. Auto Sales Stay Up Automobf.e sales continue at a high figure, Detroit reporting a labor shortage. Price reductions announced by one maker are not believed to forecast a general cutting, but rather to have baited a tendency to advance prices of cars. Railroads In Good Shape Apart from the threatened strike the railroads seem In a prosperous condition with car loadings at a good figure. Punish Drunken Driver PATERSON, N. J..

ASKS COURT TO PUT STOP TO HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE Husband Charges Rival for Wife's Affections Uses Mysterious Power. DETROIT, Mich., July 3.—Judge Marshner has granted John Capler a permanent Injunction restraining John Swaide from exercising over Capler’s wife, Catherine, a mysterious Influence, which, the husband declared, forced her against her will and desire to desert her husband and live with Swaide for months at. a time. Capler said that his wife was now with Swaide, but that ho knew the whereabouts of neither. Capler has a $25,000 alienation of affection suit pending against Swaide. Capler testified that he and his wife were married in December, 1905, and lived happily for fifteen years. Then, he said, Swaide appeared. He seemed attracted to Mrs. Capler, the husband charged. She In turn, he said, responded Involuntarily. Capler testified that his wife has been In the habit of leaving him for months at a time. During these absences she returns for a day or two, he said, hides In closets, and bids him not to reveal her whereabouts to Swaide. “She loves me and she can't help what she does,” he declared. ”1 do not blame her at aIL What I want Is an injunction to prevent this man' from exercising his 6trange spell over her.” Judge Marshner suggested that Swaide be summoned into court and ordered to discontinue his attentions. The suggestion found no favor with Capler. “You do not realize what the man Is, or what an Influence he has over my wife,” declared Capler, “She cannot stop, much as she wants to. Nothing short of a permanent Injunction will end it.”
May Use Loop Antenna to Locate Radio Interference
By PAUL F. GODLEY, America’s Foremost Radio Authority. A faulty fuse or transformer In the light supply wire, a high tension wire which swings and touches, a tree, or sometimes a young boy who does not appreciate what a nuisance he la making of himself, will cause interference which may render signals from distant points totally unintelligible. Where interference of this nature peslsts, the radio Inspector may be called In, or If he la not available, the members of your radio club. Either of these should be able to locate the sources of Interference, Before the loop or coll antenna came Into prominence, receiving apparatus was frequently set up in an automobile with a small antenna on top of the car, the received tuned to the disturbing signal and the auto set under way. The Idea was to circle through a given territory, the trend of the circle always being In that direction where signals seemed loudest. soofcce w REC.BVK NaV HOW SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE ARE LOCATED. Finally, the signals would be definitely located within a small area, where the search would be concentrated for the source of the disturbance. Search Simplified The use of a loop or coQ antenna simplifies this search considerably. As Is well known, the loop antenna receives best when It lies In the plane through which the signal advances. If the plane of the loop points toward the transmitting station, the signal Is loudest. If the plane of the loop Is at right angles to the direction of the propagation of the signals, no call will be received. Two euch loops set at some little distance from each other will be able to closely approximate the location of | the source of disturbance. The la-1

callty Is then visited and careful examination made. In case of electrio light wires, It will usually be found that a high tension circuit la discharging Into the branch of a tree, or that a defective fuse on the transformer pole la giving the trouble. Boy 4 * Set In the case of a small boy’s set, his antenna usually will give him away. If this chances to be Indoors, Inquiry In the neighborhood generally will disclose the culprit. I have visited communities where, for weeks at a time, faulty lighting circuits or high tension transmission lines caused so much trouble as to make It impossible for any one within a radius of several miles to satisfactorily receive broadcasted programs. W*hen conditions such as these exist, It should fall upon the public service company to take whatever steps are necessary to sllminate the fault. Usually they are more than glad to cooperate.
