An entirely new and successful

this: The man first obtains the name
anu address of some workman en-
pioyed in a large establishment. He
generally selects one who lives quite
q distance from his place OF employ
ment. The next step is to go to a tele-
phone, call up tEe establishment and
ask the party answering the telephone
to either call the workman or take
message to him. In either case. the
message Is that some member of the
family has been seriously injured or
taken i'll suddenly and that the work.
man Is wanted at his home Immediate
ly. The result is that the workman
hurries home. During his absence an
other telephone call is sent to the
place. The party working the swindle
represents himself as the workman,
and says owing to the seriousness of
the wife. mother. child or whoever Is
supposed to be injured he must remain
at home several days. He adds that he
must have money, and requests his en-
pioyer to give what is due him on
the weeks work to a messenger to be
sent at once. OF course, the firm
agrees, thinking its employe is In need

THE SUBMARINE BOAT

The chief difficulties in designing a
submarine boat can all be satisfactor-
lily met except those OF propelling
power under all conditions, and OF field
OF vision when submerged. She will
be deficient in speed until an unknown
power can be found. and she cannot
retain her invisibility below the sur
face and at the same time see her en-
emy without some discovery in the
property OF light that is difficult to
imagine. Although submarine can
be perfectly lighted by means of stor-
age cells, and perfectly ventilated by
pumping the air overheard and re-
newing the supply from the COM
pressed air tanks. she will be unin-
habitable for long periods owing to the
cramped quarters; and the duties OF
the crew are SO severe that the men
must he relieved frequently.
Tna best submarine that can be built
at EreseTt must be slow, more unin-
habitable than surface craft. and Of

Brain fatigue induces a headache

CATHOLICS IN WASHINGTON.

rhs Jesuit University .ni Great Francis
can Monastery.
Washington Is rapidly becoming the
center Of catholicism in America" says
a newspaper correspondent. The
apostolic legation is located here. In
addition TO the ancient Jesuit univer-
sity. which was established at George
town during colonial days, we have
now what is known as the Catholic
University OF Washington, more ex-
tensive and wealthy Institution, whose
faculty represents the liberal element
in the church. A year ago an enor-
nous monastery of the Order OF st.
Francis was occupied by several hun
dred monks. and is now the headquar-
tiers Of the greatest foreign missionary
agency OF the Catholic Church, the
franciscan Brotherhood. All their
missionary work for the continents Of
America. Asia and Africa is directed
from here. The monastery. one Of the
most imposing ecclesiastical edifices
in this nation Is situated a mile or two
beyond the Catholic university, near
the soldiers home. There Is good
deal of mystery about the institution.
which gives it additional interest. The
monks are seldom seen. except when
they come or go through the little VII

way station.

when the man returns to the estab-
lishment-that the boy was sent by
some man he does not know, and gem
orally from some downtown store. The
swindler gets the money. pays the
boy for delivering the message. and is
well away before the workman has re-
turned from his home. where, of
course. the supposed accident or suo
den illness had not been heard Of. The
complaints to Chief Hazen covered five
days. showing that the swindler work
ed his game successfully at least once
each day. The smallest amount he OBJ
tanned was SIS, the highest SIS. The
firms filing complaints are the f. NJ

although the swinuier has displayed
such shrewdness that he may have
also been smart enough to get out of
the towns before the trial gets too hot.
The only place, thus far. where the
swindle failed. is the Robert Mitchell
Furniture Company in Cincinnati. An
employe was notified that his wife was
i'll and requested him to hurry home.
He did so. Half and hour later the
telephone message requesting that his
money be given to messenger boy
was received and the boy appeared.
The bookkeeper suspected that all was
not right, detained the boy and noti-
fed police headquarters. Detective
Becker then went with the boy to
where the man who had sent him was
to meet him. but the swindler was
shrewd enough to not be caught. He
had become suspicious because OF the
long delay and got away.
