roadmen and Took Cash

Peter Johns, an ina ginative Greek,
who is accused of having invented an
intimacy with railroad presidents and
such gentry at an expense of 5000 to j,
Stumoto. a countryman living at 924
Railroad avenue, was brought to this
city last evening from Seattle by de-
Itective Frank Esola Johns was booked
on charge of petty larceny.
Once upon a time Stumoto had $500.
He wanted to work on railroad
Johns learned of this wealth and pc
up for him. Johns said he knew the
president and secretary of a railroad
having offices in the Flood building, but
complained that the secretary was
mercenary and would have to be paid
5000 before he would let Stumoto labor
for the company.
Stumoto paid the money to Johns in
the lobby of the Flood building. Then
Johns disappeared, to be later located
in the north.

serts He Was Wronged

Oscar Olsen, who was recently re-
leased from San Quentin. was taken
into custody yesterday afternoon by
Policeman Bailey in Sixteenth street
and brought to the central emergency
hospital, where he will be examined

brooded over the alleged wrongful pun
ishment until his mind has become
affected. Policeman Bailey noticed
Olsen acting strangely, and after

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-The naval
BILL carrying a total appropriation of
about s136. 100000. was passed today by

Anty Drudge Tells How to Prevent
WaShday Smells.

Holy smoke! Is one burning glue in the
ktchen?'
Mrs Jones-'No, Theodore It's washday you know,
and what you smell is the suds-steam from the wash
boiler
Anty Drudge why don't you FeIs-Naptha and do
away with the washboier? Then there VIII be
steam to permeate the whole house every washday."
The Different Kind of Soap. That,
in nutshell, is Fels-Naptha.
Different because Fels-Naptha i S
more than soap-it is a different way OF
washing.
Different-because Fels-Naptha gets
the wash ready for the line in about half
the time of any other soap.
Different because Fels-Naptha itself
does the work of loosening the dirt from
the fabric, which every other soap leaves to
you to do with the washboard.
DifFerent- because with Fels-Naptha
there's no backache: no need for long
bending over the tub, as with other soaps.
Diferent-because Fels-Naptha saves
the clothes: (1) from weakening of the
fibre by heat; ~ from the wear of hard
rubbing.
Diferent-because Fel+Naptha
actually does in cool or lukewarm water
what the best other soaps will not do even
in scalding hot water.

wrapper, summer or winter.

Golf In High Attitudes.

It is strange how many golfers there
are who fail to appreciate the great
effect the density Of atmosphere has
on the fight of golf ball. On a still,
misty day the ball flies about five
yards to ten yards less than it does
on a frosty day, when the air is keener
and more raref1ed, and it is always
stated-whether truly or not is un-
known-that in an east wind the ball
flies farther than it does when the
wind blows from the opposite and
more acceptable quarter. The writer
was fortunate, or unfortunate, enough
to play many rounds few years ago
on the johannesburg links in South
Africa. These links are situated some
5000 feet above sea level, and the air
is wonderfully rarefled. The bali con-
sequently few the most surprising dis
lance. As proof Of this the winner OF
driving competition sent a ball
carry Of 228 yards, the second player
returning the modest distance OF 225
yards. Yet neither Of these two play
ers could approach the driving capa-
bilities Of, good amateur golfers

Returned by the Glacier.

One Of the first instances on record
Of body returned by Swiss glacier
Is that Of the Hamel accident, which
took place in 1920. Several guides
were swept down by an avalanche and
hurled into a crevasse. Hamel prophe-
sled that the glacier would yield them
up again in the course of a thousand
years, but DR.. Forbes believed that
the end Of the glacier would be reach
ed by the bodies in forty years. This
statement was considered bold, but
Its accuracy was borne out by the
event. In forty years the flow Of ice
brought the bodies to light.
In 1866 Henry Arkwright was lost
in glacier. In just thirty-one years
his brother received a telegram from
the mayor Of Chamouni that the body
was found. Every article of clothing
was intact His name and regiment
could be read clearly on his handker-
chief, and his gold pencil case opened
and shut as easily as when he last
used it three decades before.-'True
