TO GET KNOWLEDGE OF CRIMINOLOGY Secret Sorvice Burglar Robbed Houses While Waitingfor Police Job. NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Ab a subject for the criminologist the gentleinun burglar Is "beaten a mile," according to Detective Lieutenant James McKeon of the Liberty avenue b tat ion. Brooklyn, , by a tall, handsome, well dresHed and suave mannered youth, who looks older than the twenty years he says he is and who is blamed for many robberies in the upper part of the borough within the last month or two. The uctive Biirprfeed the detectives who captured him by saying that he himself was a student of criminology. "I have investigated the subect very thoroughly," he bald, "and I am convinced that my services would be extrtmnly valuable to the Police Commissioner." Then he astonished them still further by sr.ying he had communicated witli Commissioner Waldo and had received a letter from him saying that Jie should proceed through the regular civil service chamielB to qualify for the force. He provud his assertion by showing them the letter, lie also showed them a postal card which they say, however, he probably wrote himself, ordering him to "Come to Police Headquarters at once." It was signed "Waldo. Police Commissioner." A police whistle, bunches of keys, lists of nanu s and uddrtBHo which the police regard an being significant of plans for prospective robberies, the photograph of a pretty girl, or rather two of them, for In one she was posed with himself, were taken from the prisoner, who on account of the peculiar aspects of the case has been nicknamed the Secret Service Burglar. The youth was arrested early yesterday at Fulton street and Miller avenue, East New York, by Detectives McKeon, Prank Burke and Robert Seleske, who had been sent out to find a young man, who, according to complaints made at the Liberty avenue station, had been flashing a shield before 'persons to whom he asserted he was a "secret service" man. He had also placed his hand significantly at his hip pocket, the complaints said. It was feared he had a pistol. The prisoner said he was Charles Jericho, 20 years old, of 2798 Fulton street, nearby where he has a furnished room. A search of his clothes revealed no pistol, but did bring out two badges of the Department of Parks, numbered 358 and 665; many keys, a small gilt clock that had been stolen with jewelry, clothing and silverware, the police say, from the home of Samuel Isaacs, 726 McDonough street, on November 16, and other articles that immediately caused the detectives to accuse him of being a burglar who had been causing them to worry and hustle much of late. Finally he said: "I guess you've got me right, ola fellows." Then Jericho asked for and got a cigaret, and seated in the detective office in the Liberty avenue station proceeded to tell them "all about it." The police say he confessed to more than a score of robberies. He gave

them names and addresses and his statements were confirmed easily. He gave them handfuls of pawntickets, they say, and also named a Oreenpoint jeweller as the purchaser of much of the silverware and pewelry which he had carried off. He was held formally on the oharge of having robbed the home cf Charles S. Springer, 804 Macon street on November 8. Jewelry and clothing valued at $150 were taken. He also enumerated the residences of these as the scenes of robbery: Iawrence W. Denzin. 121 Patchen avenue, jewelry and bric-a-brac valued at 9260; Mrs. Emma Smith, 989 Putnam avenue, jewelry and clothing, $200; Mrs. Gibson, 485 Chauncey street, jewelry and money, $150; Clarence Metcalf, 922 Hancock street, Jewelry, clothing, pocketbook and small amount of cash; Mr. Berkhardt, 982 Putnam avenue, jewelry, phonograph, money nd clothing: Samuel Isaacs, 725 McDonough street, clothing, Jewelry, silverware (including wedding presents of the recently married -couple) and brlc-a biac, $1,000. Many other addresses were also given by the youth, the police say. - "In addition to desiring to make a first hand search for information of the doings of the underworld, while awaiting my appointment as a policeman, I also wauted some cash," Jericho said. "1 desired money with which to entertain my sweetheart, the oung lady you observed in the photos. Ve had to enjoy theaters, some automobile riding and so on, and such things cost money." In the New Jersey avenue police court he was held for further examination. He was taken to Raymond street jail. The police say he confessed that be had served four years In the State Reformatory at Napanich, N. Y., for larceny.

Shredding of Corn Stover Has Come info Favor With Farmers

When we consider that, under normal conditions, there is 37 per cent of the total feed value of the corn crop in the stalks it is quite evident that the retaining of the full nutritive value

of these stalks should be looked after.

yield the fodder amounts to from 2 to 3 tons. Statistics show that in this amount of stover of average quality, there are approximately 85 pounds of protein, 1,500 pounds of carbohydrates and 22 pounds of other extract. A steer weighing 1,000 pounds requires daily about five-tenths of a pound of protein, 6 pounds of carbohydrates, "and about one-tenth of a pound of either extract. In three separate feeding tests con: ducted by the Wisconsin Experiment Station it was proven that approximately 24 per cent of the total value of unshredded fodder is lost. In the first test, 721 pounds of shredded fodder was fed. There was no waste, and the milk production amounted to 3780 pounds. The same number of cows were fed 2,333 pounds of whole stalks. In this tost there was a waste of 158 pounds of stalks and the total amount of milk produced amounted to 1,419 pounds. In the second trial, 1217 pounds of shredded fodder was used, all the stover was eaten and 1,418 pounds of milk was produced. 1,945 pounds of whole stalks were fed to an equal number of cows. There was a waste of 578 pounds, only 1439 pounds of milk were produced, and yet 700 pounds more forage was consumed. . During the third trial, 1600 pounds of fodder was fed in each case. All the shredded stover was eaten while 143 pounds of the whole stalks were left in the manger. The cows to which the whole stalks were fed gave only 872 pounds of milk, while the ones fed shredded fodder produced 989 pounds. We believe that these figures are worth considering. It is estimated that with hay selling at the present price, corn stover has a feeding value of not less than $8.00 a ton. It Is difficult t determine just how much money is saved by shredding, from the labor standpoint, or if any is saved i but from indications we would say, that there is a saving. The difficulty in arriving at any definite figures as to the saving, is in the difference of the quality of the corn and in the various other conditions applicable to each individual job. The farmers in this locality who were fortunate enough to get their fod-. der corn husked before the cold snap came, are now congratulating them-

Sand Dun In Gascony. One of the most interesting and remarkable of the many regions for the observation of sand dunes lies between Bordeaux and Bnyonne. in Gascony. The sea here throws every year upon the beach, along a line of 100 miles in length, some 5,000.000 cubic yards of sand. The prevailing westerly winds continue picking up the surface particles from the westward slope, whirl them over to the Inward slope, where they are again deposited, and the entire ridge by this means alone moves gradually inward. In the course of years there has thus been formed a complex system of dunes, all approximately parallel with the coast and with one another and of nil altitudes up to '.TiO feet. These aw marching steadily Inward at a rate of from three to six feet a year, whole villugex having sometimes been torn down to prevent burial and rebuilt at n distance.

Where the Difference Comes On

Eelow we quote you some shoe prices. On paper, they may not look as "cheap" as some others you have)'. ,

seen advertised. Cut what appears as a great bargain on paper may oniy represent tne extravagance ot the advertiser's statement. For instance: You read an advertisement of a $4.00 shoe for $2.98. You cant tell how much of that apparent reduction of $1.02 is real bargain and how much of it is the advertiser's exaggeration. But you can tell by seeing and wearing the shoes. THAT'S WHERE the DIFFERENCE COMES IN. The people don't buy the advertisement they buy the merchandise; so the merchandise and not the advertisement is the basis upon which the merchant is ultimately judged by the people. It has always been our policy to give our customers a little more for their money thsn our advertisements indicated. This pelicy has built up a great business for us. It will always be maintained
