Fashion note for the spring season: Skirts and bank accounts will be shorter. The man who pays his rent has to hustle. The one who doesn’t has to keep moving. In some cases the lip stick merely directs more careful attention to the feminine mustache. That unpronounceable comet has gone on its way, shedding consonants through the infinite. Has anyone figured out what the loan library has done toward increasing speed in reading? What defies science is the way some political voices seem louder even, when filtered through a hat. The way Will Rogers bobs up in different parts of the world, it must be he is skipping his rope. The latest Parisian fad is to tint the nails to match the gown. Obviously very little tint is required. The lion and the lamb may lie down together, but lions and lambs don’t care anything about oil fields. Nothing drives home the loss of value in the dollar more than a repair bill exceeding the original cost. The happiest man is the one who has reconciled himself to his habits and decided to let it go at that. If there’s no other way to keep a bore from hanging round, you might try lending him a little money. A hick town is a place where people buy from a mail-order house because they are mad at one another. If it’s true that cold waves come from Medicine Hat that city is kindly requested to shorten its wave lengths. Suppose it really is true that the universe is moving to a slow but certain end. what will happen after that? In other days the women wore their dresses down to their insteps and now they wear them up to their stepins ! Scientists admit that they do not know what causes sleep. They might try a small dose of the Congressional Record. A sincere humanitarian is one who finds a wolf at the door and organizes a campaign for the preservation of wild life. There is a current story of a man who talked himself info jail. His next step will be to hire counsel to talk him out. The “obey” idea among wives is more or less pasSe, and it can’t be said to be exactly a fad among the children, either. The prefect home might be described as the one where everybody agrees at once on what to tune in for with the radio. After hearing all that dentists say about teeth, there is a natural, almost irresistible impulse to get rid of the things at once. Are young women who feel the urge to fly aware that a penalty of fame is to have one’s age broadcast to the world each year? It is frequently said that tomorrow never comes. But the man who has a note falling due tomorrow knows thai tomorrow comes. Now comes the story of the absent minded professor who rolled under the dresser and waited for his collar button to find him. “He has an unfortunate personal ity,” said a stranger on rhe bus. “One of the type that couldn’t borrow a match in Sweden.” If the caterpillar tractor continues to grow in speed and agility, the war tank of the future will not have to lurch and lumber like a derelict in a gale. When the opposition thinks up a pretty awkward question, that catches the Great Orator off his balance, he says Time alone will supply the answer. Boise is that rare quality that en ables you to seem at ease before a lady caller when you know darned well you need a shave. Germany’s rag trade is languishing, it is announced, because the men wear their clothes too long and the women wear theirs too short. We read that a safety razor com pany has had a banner year, due en tirely, in our opinion to the fact that wives will borrow a blade now and then to shave their necks. A critic says the movies spoil story writers. They can't spoil a good one and the others are tit only for trea sons, stratagems and spoils. Woman has no monopoly on vanity You have probably noticed that the hatless young man generally has a good head of hair to display. Blondes should use violet perfumes says Paris, and brunettes should use lemon. What has become of the sweet old-fashioned maiden who smelled eo delectably of soap and clean gingham:

Briton Follows Trail for 22 Years. Amarillo, Texas. —The trail which he has followed for 22 years in quest of proof of the existence of an ancient race to which he believes the foundations of the modern Freemasonry may be traced has brought Dr. John Winthrop Sargent to the United States. He is in Texas to continue his research, which has taken him through Mexico, Central America and most of the South American countries. Doctor Sargent is an explorer and director of the Dr. W. H. K. Staver expedition of the British Royal society and a nephew of the late John Singer Sargent, the painter. By tracing the culture of this race through pottery and monument designs Doctor Sargent says he nas become convinced that its civilization was of even a higher order than that of the ancient Egyptians. He says he found proof that that race had a knowledge of irrigation superior to that of modern times. First evidence of the race in the United States was found at Three Rivers, N. M., he says, and the trail was continued to this vicinity. The two cultural motifs which he especially seeks portray a man standing with arms upraised, one arm at right angles with the other, and a deer with three arrows piercing its breast. “These twO motifs,” he declares, “have a decided bearing on an ancient society which has come down to the present and which is found in the Masonic lodge.” Doctor Sargent hopes to go on to FOR SLENDER GIRL / v : eC Dorothy Mackaill, appearing in “Man Crazy,” wears several charming sports and street outfits.

New York.—The sardonic leader of n two-world crime band left his “call ing card" pinned over the heart of a too curious member of his mob and now at last the police have a clew to New York’s master criminal. The “calling card" was a roll of S1(K» hills and they were pinned with a pistol bullet —the same pellet of lead that closed the prying eyes of Bill Doyle, alias Doll, ex-convict and safe cracker. Behind him, the man who Is believed to be an associate of the late Gerald Chapman and Dutch Anderson. left evidence of one of the most highly organized bands of international criminals that police have ever been confronted with. Recently there was a shot In the ground floor of a luxurious uptown apartment house just after dark and a moment later a tenant entered in time to catch a glimpse of an expensively dressed man and woman step over a body lying in the doorway and leisurely stroll out the entrance and step into a taxicab. The name on the doorplate, of the apartment was Berkowitz, but the well-dressed couple had been known to the other tenants as Mr. and Mrs. “Ike” Behrman. When the police arrived a little later they found the apartment was empty save for a tiny white dog cowering in a corner, while an electric piano was still clamorously playing “Blue Heaven." The occupants had left behind expensive wardrobes. Several fur coats and a half dozen beautiful afternoon and evening gowns were hanging in the woman's closet, while carefully tailored suits for all occasions were in the man’s compartment. The apartment was elaborately furnished with costly period furniture. But what interested the detectives most when they arrived was the fact that at last they had been called to the headquarters of a long-sought international gang. More than 800 telegrams and cablegrams from known criminals in Eu rope and this country and letters from Sing Sing were found. Tliere were coded messages and cable messages which indicated the occupants had

TAKING TO WONDERING ' By THOMAS ARKLECLARK I?? Dean of Men, University of ?? j \ Illinois. G THE king was In a sad way. so the legend ran, as kings have often been, and are still today. If reports are to be believed. There was a great oak tree that grew against the palace wall that was so big and so thick in Its branches that It shut out all the sunlight from the king’s palace. The king had offered many, many dollars to anyone who would cut down the huge tree and let the sunlight into the great castle in which he lived, tint no one had been able to do it. for as soon ns ever one chip of the oak’s trunk flow off under the stroke of the ax two more grew In Its stead. And this was not all. The king had dug a well which was to hold water for the whole year, but although all his neighbors had wells, when they • catne to sink a well for the king whose palace rtmid high above the valley, they had gone down only a few incites before they struck un Impenetrable rock But tl>e King had set his heart upon having the oak tree cut down, ami up on having a well sunk that would furnish his household with abundant wh ter. and to anyone who could accomplish these two things lie agreed to give the lovely princess for a wife and half bls kingdom. It was a prize I well worth working for. for the king dom was a noble one and the princess I was beautiful twyoml de«vrlptkm. ' It as Peter and Paul and Jack—

Chapman and Anderson once had their headquarters. Detectives, after several days of study, have reconstructed events lead j ing up to the crime and believe that It was carried out along the follow ing lines: Will Doyle, the man who got a nullet through his heart, was one of a hundred or more of the master criminal's contact men. His job was to spot safes to be robbed, houses to be looted and to establish connections with fences who would dispose of the spoils or sell rhe gems which the leader's European agents smuggled into this country. It is believed several of the gang took part in the daylight robbery of a nearby theater the day before Doyle was shot to death. The spotter is be- | lieved to have made a mistake and the bund looted the wrong theater, getting away with only a few thousand dollars where they had planned to j make a big haul. When Doyle got his share, which amounted to only SIOO, he complained to the payoff man. insisting that he should have more, and accusing the leaders of “playing crooked.” There was an angry exchange of words and Doyle threatened to get even. That evening. Doyle, still angry over the meager profits that came to him as his share, broke the most stringent law of the gang and walked boldly into the home of the master criminal. Waving the roll of one dollar hills in his chief’s face he demanded more money and threatened to “squeal" if it were not forthcoming at once. The leader settled the debt as It usually is settled in gangland. And before leaving he pinned the payoff money to the victim s body as a wain ing to his other followers. Detectives are confident that the many addresses and messages found in the apartment will lead to arrests in the capitals of Europe as well as in several cities in the United States. While they are following leads, the main hunt is centering on the capture of Behrman. When a key is turned in a now door lock the attached knob spins around without operating its latch.

three brothers—who set out In the hope of finding away to cut down the tree and to dig the well. It was Jack whose curiosity led him to wondering concerning a sound of chopping which he heard up the hill side as the three brothers were setting out toward the palace, and following the sound he came upon a magic ax chopping away at a great tree, and this he put into his pocket. And this same curiosity discovered to him a spade that could penetrate the hardest rock, and a stream of water which flowed uninterruptedly as it was told to do. The older brothers mocked him for his curiosity but who the ax and the spade and the little stream he was able to fell the oak and to dig the well and to fill it to ; the brim. And so he won the wonderful princess for his bride and he came into |H>sseesion of half the kingdom, while his brothers h id their ears cut off and were sent to a desert island And as the story ends. “Well. Jack wasn’t so much out of bis mind wheu be took to wondering.” Tliere are a great many clever young jM>ople today—clever as Peter and, Paul and Jack —and a good many of these clever ones are in college and would gladly find an easy way to dig welts or to cut down oak trees, but they lack Interest, they have no curl- . osity. they are not possessed with this wondering state of mind which led .Lick to find the ax and the spade, and the trickling stream. <xl 192* v extern Newspaper Union.! +S -H-H-I- !-!■ 11 1- l-H-b 111 1- Id-l-j: DIPPING INTO SCIENCE I T! !
