CLUB * “Guns in tAe Night 99 By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter. „ VTOU know, boys and girls, when a guy gets in trouble, generally 1 his first thought is: "Boy, I wish there was a cop around to get me out of this." And if there is a cop around, the chances are he can get you out of almost any sort of jam in the world. The police are called on at all hours of the day and night, to do everything from straightening out a family to catching a cat that’s crawled up a tree and won't coqje down. But here’s the story of a bunch of boys who couldn't call On the cops when they got into trouble. In fact, it was the cops who were making all the trouble for Frank Zap--1 pala. and for his three pals. Not that Frank bad done anything to deserve all that attention from the New York police department. All be was doing was trying |o get to New Jersey. There are some funny laws on the statute books. I’ll admit, but there isn’t any againsCgoing to New Jersey, so Frank was entirely within his rights when he tried to dig up the half buck be needed to get through the Holland tunnel. But things were happening around New York, that night, that Frank and his friends didn't know about Old Lady Adventure was setting the stage for big doings-—and she used ths cops for actors in the drama she staged with Frank in the leading role. Frank and his friends started out one September evening for a ride In a car that belonged to one of the fellows' dads. They had the car—but doggone little money. There was only twenty cents In cash In the whole crowd, and they wanted to go over to New Jersey to see some friends they had over there. Boys Would Rather Be in Jersey—So Watch. Going to Jersey, though, cost fifty cents—the price of admission to the Holland tunnel. So Frank suggested i that one of the other lads—a fellow named Jim—sell an old dollar-and-a-half watch that he carried. Jim was agreeable, and handed over the watch. Frank got out of the car and went looking for a customer for it. The car was parked at the foot of Wall street and it was around 10:30 at night. Prospective watch-buyers were few and far between. As a matter of fact there wae only one man in sight, and all the dough he had was twenty cents. The boys needed thirty cents, so it was just no sale. They drove the car down to the Battery and tried again. A street cleaner was working there, and they offered the watch to him. He didn’t want It, but he talked to the boyk for a while. And then—suddenly—things began to happen. Police Speed After Some Wrong-Doer. A police car shot around the corner, siren screaming, and sped off down the street going about sixty-five miles an hour. About ten seconds later, another ■u wl “Don’t Shoot. Mister—Don't Shoot” one followed it. going even faster than the first Both cars disappeared around another corner before the boys even had a chance to get a good look at them. The street cleaner ran for the corner to get a last look at them, and the four boys climbed back Into their own car. Jim got/in front and took ths wheel. Frank was in the back seat with a lad named Charlie. While Jim was starting the motor, Frank turned to Charlie and Mid: “What luck we’ve goL Wo can't even sell a watch!” fAnd then ho mw Charlie's hands go up in the air—heard him cry out: “Don’t shoot, mister—don't shoot!” Frank Mt gating, spellbound, past Charlie and out Into the street. Two men were standing there—detectives, they looked like—pointing sawed-off police rifles Into the back seat of the car. Two uniformed police came up then, and one of the detectives opened the door and yanked Charlie out of the car. Another poked a rille Into Frank's midriff and told him to climb out. too. And up ahead, the two boys In the front seat were also being pulled out onto the pavement It Begins to Look Like They're Public Enemies. By this time there were eight policemen and detectives clustered arounc the car, a couple more were inside, going through It with a fine-tootbed comb. “Where are the guns?” they asked Frank. “Where are the other two feltewsF All four boys Mid they didn’t have any guns—didn’t know anything about any two other feilowe—but they couldn't convince the cops. A ' robbery had been committed In the neighborhood, and these tads answered the description of the men. They were carted off to the station house—fingerprinted, questioned. They hadn't been there long before they realised that they were in trouble—likely to be put on trial for a crime they had no hand in. Where were they when the robbery was committed? That's the question the police kept asking them. And their answer : “Parked on a corner down, by the Battery” was not good enough. Street Cleaner Cleans Up Their Slate. Then Frank thought of the street cleaner. If the cops could only find him. be could back their story. Frank told the detective captain, and the captain sent a man out to bring him in. He got there about fifteen minutes later. “Did you ever see those hoys before?" the detectives asked him. “Sure I did.” he replied. *1 was talking to them for twenty min- 0 utes, just before the police cars camo shooting around the corner.” And that was all the cops wanted to know. But for a half hour or so. It sure looked to Frank as though four guys were going to jail for the heinous crime ot trying to get to Jersey City. ©-WNU Service.

M E RA WRITE FOOD Potatoes Rank Second in Survey in Twenty States. By EDITH M. BARBER WHAT is your favorite food? Perhaps you will answer, instinctively, apple pie. or chocolate layer cake. But on second thought, if you consider what food It would be hardest for you to be son ed to omit from your diet, you probably will decide with most other Americans that meat is your favorite food. A survey made by a national restaurant system of sixty-five million meals served in 118 restaurants in 20 states showed that meat leads all other foods. Next came potatoes with—be- ' lleve it or not—mashed potatoes the : most popular. This surprised me. because I do not usually give restaurant ' mashed potatoes a very high score. Beef and pork are the'most popular meats, very much lower in the scale comes veal and still further down comes lamb/which is another surprise. Fruits, milk and cheese are eaten in larger amounts than was previously the case. Vegetables and salads did not score high In this particular sur- ' vey. Desserts were eaten by more than half the patrons with apple pie 1 leading the list. In spite of the low score for vegetables in this particular survey the consumption of them Is Infinitely larger than It was 15 years ago. Until 1929, the vegetable production and sale increased greatly. Since that time it has dropped because people do not 1 have as much to spend for food and are likely to choose the more filling foods when they are buying their meals outside of their homes. The housekeeper who plans meals for a family, some of whose members . eat lunch away from home, should make sure that she provides vege- ; tables, particularly In their raw form, to make up for their lack at the noun meat Date Pecan Pie. 1 cup corn sirup 3 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons flour 14 teas|»oon salt 14 teaspoon cinnamon 3 tablespoons butter 14 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs 1 cup broken pecans . 1 cup chopped dates Mix corn s’rup with sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, melted butter and vanilla.

Put Into pastry shells and bake about fifteen minutes in A hot The Household By LYDIA LE BARON WALKER WHEN a homemaker selects wall papers or decides color of paint if the walls are to be painted, she should have some idea of the effect of dark and light wail surfaces. Fashion may dictate one style or the other, and the home decorator wish to follow the vogue, but it is unwise to do so to the detriment of interiors. A good expert decorator will always modify a style to accord with the beauty of rooms. There are certain effects that can be determined in reference to any rooms. Light walls will contribute to an appearance of enlarged space. Dark walls will give a diminished effect. Booms with sunny exposures can better afford to have dark walls than can rooms with northern, exposures since the brilliance of sunshine is absent from the latter. If a southern exI posure is shaded by evergreen trees that keep in foliage winter and summer. or if any room Is shadowed by high walls or tall houses or fences, ' such rooms should not have dark l walls. A gloomy effect will result . Small rooms should not have walls

The walls should seem to be forced back by having them lightened in tone. This does not mean that walls should be white which soils quickly, but that tints of delicate hues should enter into designs of wall papers, if they are used. Also surfaces . should be pate if jpverg the walls. The times when dark walls are advantageous are comparatively few. Very 4arge sunny rooms lend themselves well to this treatment. Rooms of magnificent size, such as drawing rooms used chiefly for receptions, and functions, ball rooms, and vast halls can be given dignity by subdued walls. Paneling is apt to be featured, dark antique oak and mahogany being favorite woods. But even in these grand rooms, walls of medium or even light tones are as often found. Medium tones for walls have light effect on appearance of enlarging or diminishing space, but it is advisable to have the balance in favor of mediumlight, rather than medium-dark wails.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Member of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicaso. • Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for February 2 JESUS ENLISTS HELPERS LESSON TEXT—Luke W. 3L GOLDEN TEXT—They forsook all and followed him.—Luke S:ll. PRIMARY TOPlC—Jeaua Flnde Some Helpers. JUNIOR TOPlC—Jeans and the Fishermen. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Jeeus Calle Ua. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Our Can to Serve With Christ. The work of Jesus had now progressed far enough to make more workers necessary. He, therefore, called and trained the helpers needed. The spread of Christianity depends upon the testimony of men and women who have come into an experiential knowledge of Jesus Christ. I. Jesus Teaching by the Seaside (w. 1-3). His fame was now so widespread that the people pressed upon him to hear the Word of God. The manner and matter of his teaching gained the attention of the people, for he taught as one having authority and not as the Scribes. The people came to hear the Word of God. It Is true today that people will flock to hear the preaching of the Word of God. The people will not flock to hear the preacher discourse on politics, literature, current events, and human philosophy. These people were bearing the living Word expounding the written Word. 11. The Mighty Draught of Fishes (vv. 4-7). Before these disciples were called into the Lord’s service, it was necessary that. In a most concrete way, they be shown the wisdom and power of Jesus Christ 1 Christ’s command (▼. 4). It was to launch out Into the deep and let down their nets for a draught of fishes. It was necessary for them to learn that if fish were to be caught they must cast their nets where the fish were. 2. The disciples* hesitant obedience (v. 5). Peter as spokesman explained that they had a night of disheartening i failure. They had given themselves to ! a whole night of exhausting toil, with 1 no success. While they acknowledged i their failure and unwillingness to coui tlnue on the ground of their own judgment, they expressed willingness to | proceed on a new ground of action; namely, “At thy word.” Happy are ttey who are willing to go forth with unfaltering courage on the ground of Christ’s commandment 3. Reward for obedience (vv. 6,7). Bj Jesus* guidance they were able to take such a draught of fishes that their nets broke and the boats were in danger of sinking. Abundant success will crown the efforts of the disciples who render Implicit obedience to the commands oF the Lord JeSur Christ. 111. The Disciples Called to Higher Service (▼▼• 8-11). 1. The effect of the miracle upon the disciples (vv. 8-10). This miracle was so manifestly the work of supernatural power that Peter acknowledged himself .to be In the presence of a divine being, even expressing the fear that comes to all when brought face s to face with God. /’ 2. Their new vocation (v. 10). Jeeus not only spoke words of good cheer to the disciples, but made clear-to them their work In the coming years. They no longer were to spend their time in catching fisb, but henceforth were to be fishers of men. Literally, they were to catch men alive. This is the exalted calling of every one who is Christ’s real disciple. 3. Response to the call (v. 11). They left all and followed Jesus. They had such a marvelous demonstration of wisdom and power of Christ that .they were now willing to give up their temporal Interests and give themselves to the new work; that of winning men to Christ Obedience to Christ meant not only sacrifice, but a life of fruitful service In winning souls for him. IV. The Calling of Matthew (vv. 27, 28). Matthew was a despised tax-gath-erer. He was called from a remunerative position to give up all and follow Jesus. He, together with James, John, and Peter, gave up all to follow Jesus. He had the courage of his convictions, for he mad? a great feast to which he invited his old friends so that he might introduce them to Jesus Christ This act of Matthew was a result of mature deliberation, for considerable time had elapsed since his ealL His experience with Jesus was so blessedly real that he desired that bis friends should have a like bleaslng.

THE STORY OF JENNIE AND WILBUR 1— Jennie and Wilbur were poor but honest. 2— Their folks were short on money but long on principles. 3— They tried to guide their children aright, and always emphasized courage. 4 — “Be brave and resolute as you go through life,” the father used to tell them. “Never compromise.” 5— “Fear.” their mother told them ever so often, “is pagan and has no place in the character of a real man or woman.” 6— There was hardly a day that Jen-‘ nie and Wilbur were not lectured on courage and Its Importance In life. 7— Often their parents would put them to some test calculated to strengthen their backbone and rid them of inhibitions. 8— Wilbur as a little boy was often sent on long trips at night through the° dark, and Jennie wps made to sleep in a dingy attic room away from the others In the household so she would shake off all nervousness and fright. 9— Their parents once rented a haunted bouse for the summer just to show the kiddies it was all superstition. 10— Everything posable was done to make them resolute, bold and unafraid. 11 — They let Jennie go on a lion hunt with an African expedition when she was only sixteen, and during a summer vacation Wilbur got a job driving one of those powder wagons labeled “Dangerous. High Explosives.” 12— By the time they had reached the age of twenty Jennie and Wilbur were pretty hard. They weren’t afraid of anything. Timidity was foreign to their natures. 13— And it all profited them greatly. 14 — For they became public links golfers. 15— And what is more, they played Saturdays and Sundays without steel helmets, leather vests er'shln guards.
