Secret Service Men Finally Nab Fugitive Counterfeit Expert CHICAGO. After a 12-year search of hotels, libraries, railroad stations and stores, U.S. secret service agents have arrested a counterfeiter suspect who allegedly made his money in the winter and spent it in the summer. Agent Henry Anheier reported the arrest of Huge Hedin, 57, a Swedish alien, on charges of making and possessing counterfeit money. He described Hedin as a ‘lone wolf’ who had been trailed by agents working in relays until he was found in a two-room Chicago apartment with paper and plates for bank notes. ' “I knew you’d get me sooner or later,” agents quoted him. Anheier said Hedin was convicted at Detroit in 1927 on a counterfeiting charge, served In prison until 1930, and in 1938 came to Chicago and was believed to have started making notes again. Agents said the notes allegedly made by Hedin were difficult even for banks to detect. Hedin was unmarried and worked alone, agents said. He never stayed long in one place. Agents who were trailing him sometimes sat beside him at libraries and watched him read books on metals and papers, but never could find him with evidence. Last November, however, they discovered that he had invested in some real estate in Grayslake, Hl. When he wrote to a real-estate agent about delinquent payments, they closed in, following him to a hotel in St. Louis and finally z to Chicago. Anheier said Hedin was working on a plate for a $5 note when agents entered his hideout, and that they found 10 other plates and paper for 100 notes in his rooms.

Family Radio May Soon Become Mosquito-Killer NEW YORK. The family radio soon may be used to kill mosquitoes—and not with commercials, either. Just broadcast the song of the female mosquito, amplified a million times. Male mosquitoes, lured by the siren song, come arunning and are burned to a crisp on an electrical grille covering the loud-speaker of the radio. Dr. Morton C. Kahn, associate professor of public health at Cornell University medical college, says that on a recent trip to Cuba he conducted an experiment in the center of a vast mosquito filled bog. The female voice, broadcast over giant loud-speak-ers, attracted every male mosquito within a one mile radius. They perished on a charged grille. There’s one little hitch, how ever. Females, probably being smarter, aren’t drawn by the call of the male mosquito. It’s the female mosquito that causes humans all the trouble. (The male mosquito’s beak is not strong enough to pierce the human skin.)

Man Without Any Arms Hays Bach on Piano CHICAGO.—A man who had lost both arms played Bach and boogiewoogie on the piano in a motion picture, and surgeons applauded his performance. Dr. Henry Kessler, West Orange, N. J., told the American Association of Railway Surgeons the performance by an unnamed patient shows what can be accomplished when a person is taught properly to use artificial hands. The doctor said he thought the man “was joking” when he first came to his rehabilitation Institute in New Jersey and announced he wanted to play the piano. Kessler said that after the man learned routine dexterity, such as tying a shoe, the amputee was fitted with two special pairs of metal 'fingers which he learned to spread to cover a wide range of notes. The doctor said it was not enough 'to give a man an artificial appliance and turn him loose. "He must be taught how to use it, after being psychologically prepared,” Dr. Kessler said. Homing Pigeon Homes Only to Young Owner STANTON - BY - BRIDGE, ENGLAND?—Ivy Aucote, 11, has a homing pigeon which is different. Instead of homing to his pigeon cote as a homing pigeon should, he homes to Ivy—wherever she is.

The pigeon, named Joey, is six months old. He was let out of his cage to exercise about two hours after Ivy had left for school. He whizzed off and joined her in the classroom, two and one-half miles away in Melbourne. He since has repeated the stunt twice. He also finds Ivy when she’s stopping in Melbourne. * E. L. Hunt, a member of the council of Great Britain’s national honing union, told newsmen: “One or two similar cases have been heard of before. In some birds the ability to ‘home* in this fashion is developed to an extraordinary degree and is unexplainable.” Employes quickly discover who have the co-operative spirit and who have not. The employee who occasionally goes to the boss and says: “It | occurred to me that thus and so would help the business; that this or that idea would prove an economy, or increase the company’s income,** loses nothing, even ff all of his ideas are not wrepted. and he gains materially ist Ms superiors estimation

Legend of the Glow Worm In Bethlehem when Christ was born And the world rejoiced on Christmas mom— Gifts were brought to the Babe by all, Each had a gift who came to call But one little being in that stable there, A wee little worm was bowed in prayer; Because he had no gift at all, And he was unnoticed, he was so small But oh! how he wished to join the throng Who sang to the Babe a glory song! So he searched till he found a bit of a flower That was withered and dried by many an hour. He crawled to the manger with his offering of love, While God in His heaven watched from above; He saw the offering of the wee little one, And rejoiced at what the worm had done, i And God from His heaven reached out, you see, And plucked a wee moonbeam
