While Trying to Escape Five Detec-

ST. LOUIS, Jan with both
hands cut and bleeding from using his
bare fists to break a glass door in
an effort to escape arrest, Richard P.
Dunlap, 23, sat in his cell at police
headquarters here today. awaiting the
extradition, papers which will author
ize his return to Cleveland, for the
theft of number of diamond rings
valued at $4,000 from the store of
John Huetter, of that city.
Dunlap was captured yesterday
just as he was sitting down to dinner.
Reports having reached here of his
ability to effect seemingly impossible
escapes, five detectives surrounded
the house and Dunlap was informed
he was under arrest. He tried to es-
cape at the rear, but seeing the de-
tectives there, attempted to escape by
diving through a glass door at the
side. He stuck in the broken panel,
however, and was overpowered. Ac-
cording to the police, he admitted the
theft Of the jewelry, saying that he
had pawned portion of it in Chicago

girls, though poorly clad and many
apparently underfed went on to the
picket line as soon as the strike
was ordered today and paraded in
front of the laundries from which they
struck, to urge strikebreakers away.
There was little need for their pres

Writer uncorks Walls Of Wrath In
Few indictments Of uncomfort-
able Modern Garment.

The onward march of civilization
has its obstacles.
Shirts being made for man and not
man for shirts, every time man gets
a new shirt or one comes back from
the laundry the moral uplift needs the
application Of the safety brake and the
emergency clutch to keep us from
dropping into the cellar again.
Shirts are made of various kinds of
materials. After the sewing is fin
ished they are left for few hours in
a strong mixture of glue and con-
crete. This fastens the back to the
bosom and sticks the sleeves togeth-
er. Buttonholes are then made in the
n ckband, and the band is then steep.
ed in cement SO that the buttonholes
cannot be opened. The bosom is then
adorned with buttons. These but
ions are sewed on with one weak
thread, SO that when you try to but
ton the shirt, after having pried it
apart with a paper knife and strong
language, the buttons will fly away
merrily.
Shirts that are laundered are al
ways sent back with the lower but
ton buttoned in. and ali the button
holes glued tight.
Dress shirts are made with We
neered bosoms, with little round holes
where the studs are only supposed
to be placed. These bosoms are abso-
lutely infeYihle and tho studs cannot
be inserted without the aid of sledge
hammer, which is damaging to the dis
position

Air Mile.

The "air mile" is unit OF measure.
ment that has come into use with the
advancement Of aviation. We had the
land mile and the sea mile, which is
approximately one-seventh longer than
the land mile OF America. The nauti.
cal mile is often incorrectly called a
knot, but knot is measure OF both
distance and time. 1t is correct to say
that vessel makes ten knots, but to
say that she makes ten knots an hour
is tautology. The air mile is measured
differently from the land mile and the
sea mile. 1t is land mile minus the
retardation of an adverse wind or plus
the acceleration OF a favoring wind
Thus an aviator could cover many air
miles while lowering over given
point on the earth's surface.-Brown.
