A CHANCE TO KNOW SOME SPIES BETTER Joseph Gollomb Has an Interesting Collection of People Who Fought Differently in Many Big Wars. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN JUST what part spies have played in all of the big wars of the world, including the World war, is a pretty big problem. But the problem, although a big one, has been successfully answered, I think, by Joseph Gollomb in his new book, “Spies,” just published by the Macmillan Company. I can truthfully tell you that here is one 389 paged book that kept me up at night and caused the electric meter to mount just a little higher. The stories of these spies, ranging from “The Ancient History of the Spies,” including Indian spies and coming up to date with spies of the World war. often made my ~ breakfasts a little late. glish’s; “Submarine” at the Lyric;

Gollomb in his foreword says; “Common sense if nothing else would tell me that in such a rich field of dramatic material, invention would be gilding refined gold. I have sought above all, therefore, to give the essence and the spirit of these stories, confident that they needed no touch of fiction to make gorgeous telling. If in the absence of documentary data I have made some of my spies talk, I tried to do so in the spirit of the portrait painter who seeks to catch the character of his subject where the camera could not record it—or did not. But with this unessential exception I have tried to put down what history has recorded.” And as far as I am concerned, Gollomb has not only done this but has collected one of the most fascinating bunch of thrills that one cculd imagine to be collected in one volume. There are two outstanding spies in this collection and their stories read like fiction, but they have all the elements of realism and fact all the way through. During the World war there was a lot of newspaper space devoted to the execution of Mata Hari, a woman spy for the Germans in Paris and other places who danced her way to death. Her unusual story is told in the chapter on “The Spy Who Danced Her Way to Death.” You will be astonished how this “street walker” used her body to make fools out of high government officials to get information which directed some of the terrible harvest of death of the German submarine warfare. There were times that I could not comprehend how men in high positions could become bo wild over the flesh. And yet the story of this spy is one of the most sensational of the World war. One of the most fascinating strange stories in this collection of “Spies” is told in the chapter devoted to “The Spy Who Blackmailed a King.” The name of this spy is Chevalier d’ Eon and for a long time is was not known whether he was a man or a woman. He was a man who could doll up like a flashing woman and get away with it. Here is one of the most unusual stories of blackmail that affected a king and a crown. “Spies of the Civil War” is another chapter that many people will enjoy. Here is an unusual book. It is great reading. Thrilling theater. It is splendidly written and it is loaded with facts, that I am sure. I recommend this book for those who are crying out for something different.

TEST MILK IN SUNLIGHT U. S. Bureau Finds Liquid is Harmed by Solar Rays. By Science Scrrice WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Milk exposed to sunlight quickly develops a linseed oil odor and carboard taste, experiments by the bureau of dairy industry of the department of agriculture just completed, show. The experiments were undertaken because of a general supposition that indirect or diffused dayligh', had little effect on the milk. The samples in the tests were never exposed to direct sunlight but were placed in a north diffused light, proving that milk should not be kept in any sort of sunlight.

What Dr. Caldwell Learned in 47 Years Practice

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Os next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasanttasting, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell* did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently without griping and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens yourarteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morning you will feel like a different person. Use for yourself and members of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy

RAPS RASKOB MV TACTICS Allen Charges N. Y. Sidewalks Sunk to Sewers WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—-“ The Tammany campaign, in its closing hours, has sunk from the sidewalks to the sewers of New York,” Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kansas, now director of publicity for the Republican national committee charged Thursday night in a bitter attack on Chairman John J. Raskob, of the Democratic national committee, in answer to Raskob’s accusation in a letter to Chairman Work that Republicans were inciting religious bigotry in the campaign. Allen accused Raskob of mudslinging, declared “Republican campaign managers have been rebuking every outbreak of religious bigotry,” and charged that “Raskob has openly encouraged attacks upon Mr. Hoover’s religion.” He cited repudiation of an affidavit Raskob said he had frbm R. X. Wiliams, of Oxford, Miss., that Republicans had sent Williams anti-Catholic propaganda, and said “the declaration Mr. Wiliams makes that he did not make such an affidavit arouses the suspicion that the whole case is a ‘frame-up’.”

3 HURT; FIGHT IN DOCK STRIKE Police Push Rioters in Harbor, Then Pull Them Out. By United Press SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 2.—Police and union dock laborers fought for half an hour in the streets today. The police, confronted by 1,000 workmen, were outnumbered and fired on the crowd. Three men were wounded, one seriously. It was the most serious disorder growing out of the recently settled water front strike. The union men, angered at the protection given to volunteer workers who took their

places during the strike, attacked a group of volunteers in the street. Police tried to stand between the two factions, but were stoned by the rioters. Finding their batons useless, the police fired over the heads of the crowd as a warning. It resulted in a concerted charge by the mob, and the police fired into the crowd. During the struggle dozens of men were pushed into the harbor. All were pulled out.
