TWO 'FRIENDS' DISCOVER THEY ARE jROTHERS Kokomo Men Separated 45 Years Ago After Father Died. By Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 11.—Two men who have lived here fifteen years, and have been close friends, have just discovered they are brothers. John Clem bears the right family name, but John Clem Laßue, his brother, is rightly Clinton Clem. Separation of the Clem family occurred forty-five years ago when the father died. The mother was unable to keep the children together, and all with the exception of Clinton, then but a few weeks old, were placed with various families. Shortly, Mrs. Clem died and Clinton was placed in an orphanage later destroyed by fire with all records. Clinton made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Laßue of Delaware County, Indiana, and used the family name. Establishment of the relationship of John and Clinton was made by Simon Clem, 61, oldest of the five sons and three daughters of the family. ARM PLANE PILOTS TO FIGHT PIRATES OF AIR New Menance Is Being Met by British Airway. Bu United Press LONDON, Aug. 11.—Piracy on the high seas and highway robbery are now things of the past and airpirates are the danger of today. To meet this new menace the pilots of bullion-carrying aircraft of the British Imperial Airways Limited, are being armed with revolvers. Ostensibly the idea is that in the event of a forced landing away from a recognized aerodrome among unscrupulous people, the pilot and crew must be able to protect themselves. There is, however, the fear that a thieves’ gang learning of the shipment of many millions of dollars in bullion, might endeavor to raid the plane, either by a battle in the air or by causing the bullion-carrying machine to make a false landing.

New Yorkers on Wagon Till Sacco Case Ends

By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—New York is thirstier than at any time since prohibition went into effect as one of the unexpected repercussions of the Sacco-Vanzetti case. One of the most widespread and profitable types of bootlegging has been ruined and the gentry—while not exactly facing bankruptcy are in an unpleasant predicament. The bootleg business entered its period of depression at the moment bombs exploded in subway stations last Sunday. The explosions did two things. .They put the police on a 24-hour service guarding transportation lines. They made every parcel carried suspicious and subject to summary examination. So far, the police have found nobody carrying bombs. But for a while they found a surprising number of bomb-like packages under the arms of citizens, which proved to be one or several bottles containing Scotch or gin. The carrying of liquor in subways has come to a full stop and the carrying of parcels in taxicabs so

The Most Colorful Episode of American History told in Peter B. Kyne’s New Novel

THE Gold Rush! Volumes have been written about the Revolution . . , about the Civil War , . . and the World War. But the story of the Gold Rush, which united for the first time the great East and West of the United States and remade the nation as surely as the Civil War was to do it later, had not been done until Peter B. Kyne, noted son of California, was asked to do it for Cosmopolitan readers. . . . And now Mr. Kyne has done it with the color that has distinguished his other works. It is a contribution to American history that Cosmopolitan’s great audience will particularly appreciate. For these readers make up the class market of America ... a market distinguished not only by its high standards of living and adequate buying power, but also by its reading habits. Strachey, for example, believed there was a big public for worth-v/hile writing done inter-’ estingly, and he proved it with his “Life of Queen Victoria.” •‘ # A Then came Will Durant’s “Story of Philosophy,” Paul De Kruif with “Microbe Hunters,’/ and George A. Dorsey with “Why We Behave Like Human Beings.” It is for this mass of class readers... more than a million afid a half. . . that Cosmopolitan is keyed and published. Its editing is based on the idea that the thing really worth talking about can be written interestingly and vividly. “The Tide of Empire” is worth while . . . and most interestingly and vividly written. Do not miss it.

WFBM ASKS TO SERVESTATE Radio Commission Requested to Raise Power. Bu Times Succlal WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.—The Federal Radio Commission today has under advisement the request of station WFBM, Indianapolis, for a wave length of 1,090 kilocycles, and 1,000 watts. The station’s claim was based upon the fact that Indiana, although it has more than twenty broadcasting stations, has none of large power. Commission officials said today that this was the first time the issue of discrimination against Indiana as a State had been brought. Station officials announced that if the application were granted an attempt would be made to have WJMB function as a State-wide station, on -the proposed new site four miles from Indianapolis, the commission having before it also an application for permission to move to this new site. Counsel for stations WTAS and WORD, operating on the wave length sought by WFBM. opposed the latter’s petition, and said WFBM should be treated as anew applicant because it had not used the wave length of 1,330 kilocycles and power of 250 watts assigned to it, having done no broadcasting since the tornado last June damaged the apparatus. • Buys Recreational Field Bu Times Sued til ANDERSON.

Bayonet ‘theßunk'as Weapon, Experts Claim By Times Special * WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The fearsome bayonet of the standard United States Army rifle is just about useless as a weapon of modern warfare. This is the opinion of military experts and they advocate abandoning the bayonet. They cite figures showing causes of wounds to United States World War soldiers. Os 224,089 wounded soldiers admitted to army hospitals only 235, or one-tenth of 1 per cent, were put out of action by bayonets. “The principal use of the bayonet in modem warfare,” a high Army officer, anonymous for fear of offending the sensibilities of the general staff, said today, “is as a can opener. As the death-dealing instrument it was pictured to be during the World War, it’s the bunk. “The average American boy is used to swinging a baseball bat, and when he wants to put someone out of commission he is not likely to try to do it with the most awkward kind of a sword. He will instinctively grab his gun like a baseball bat and start swinging. If it has a bayonet on it he may cut himself.”
