FEW POLICEMEN IN BOSTON
New York Woman, Who Had Lost Her
Way, Discovers Officer After Walk
Ing Many Blocks.

A young woman from New York, on
one OF her rare visits to Boston, found
herself getting unusually bewildered
In the labyrinth of streets converging
at the South Terminal station. With
the immediate instinct Of the New
Yorker, who can usually be sure of
finding an officer stationed at every
crossing. she turned to look for a
policeman. But no policeman was
forthcoming.
After walking a good many blocks
she at last sighted a bluecoat. But he
was going in the wrong Objectionable
direction away from her. At the end
Of hundred yards Of hot pursuit she
overlook him.
oh" she gasped. ARE you the only
policeman In Boston,"
The stalwart son Of Erin stood look
ing quizzically down on her; then his
face widened in a slow smile.

MURDER" PLOT ENDED
0HERIFF, GULLED BY "PLANTEDS
EVIDENCE, CATCHES COLD.
Students Imaginary Murder Myster,
In Endeavor to Improve His Power
at Building Plots, Sets Ma
chInery Of County In Motion.

Olathe. Kan.-How he planted" the
evidence OF an imaginary murder mys
terry In an endeavor to improve his
power at building plots for short sto.
ries has been revealed by William W.
Ferguson, the University OF Kansas
student whose Joke" set the machin.
cry Of an entire county in motion and
furnished startling stories to the news
papers OF the country for several days.
Olathe Is divided over the case. The
young mans friends declare his prank
was lawfully funny" and others con-
denim 1t.
e. @. Carroll, deputy shertf1. sees
no humor in the hoax. Carroll spent
many weary hours dragging an Icy
lake to find the body OF the slain"
person, and now he has the worst cold
Of his life. He Is now taking Quinine
and mustard foot baths.
Ferguson was student OF the
School Of Journalism, In the short
story writing class, and he declares,
despite contrary statements of Pro
lessor Merle Thorpe, that the boys
were assigned to develop a murder
plot.
"Of course. one can imagine situa-
tions," said Ferguson, but thought
1t would be rather original to frame
one up and see how many people l
could puzzle. So l laid the plant
the blood OF rooster, a gold neck
IQco and a ctatnod iron har
II told my fellow students l had
prepared a plot SO good that II the
newspapers heard Of 1t they would
have special correspondents on the
scene in half day. They argued with
me and said they didn't believe 1t.
Then l told them what l would do,
and sure enough when the properties
were found the story Of murder mys-
terry appeared and was telegraphed
all over the country. l am sorry now
the thing worked so WE'LL"
Ferguson says he didn't tell the dep
through the water works lake because
he thought 1t was too good joke. But
Carroll, the sheriff, does not laugh SO
loudly over the affair.
Professor Thorpe denies that stu
dents are assigned to work up murder
plots in the way Ferguson did, al.
though in the course of their short
story work the students are supposed
to develop plots carefully When seen
at his home in Lawrence, the profess
sor said:
"The case presents some puzzling
complications. So far this year we
have covered only larceny. mayhem,
trespass, arson and few minor Of
fences In our crime course. The work
in murder will not be reached until
April. or course, 1t Is not uncommon
that some students are more apt than
others. They make progress more
rapidly, and 1t Is impossible to hold
them back with the laggards, and 1t
may be that the young man from
Olathe was one OF those restless stu
dents who felt prepared to go ahead
Of his classmates.
II am pretty sure the eOlathe stu
dent Is the only one of the class in
Journalism who heard anything about
murder plots in connection with the
course"

haired beauty. dressed in fluffy blue

blue hat on her blond locks.
"Oh. mamma. II only | could have
that one!" she cried.
But the mother shook her head. The
second little girl and her mother both
turned to look at the child who
wanted the blue-gowned doll and the
little girl laughed, not unkindly, but
amusedly.
"Oh. mother, isn't she funny to want
an old-fashioned doll like that?"
Silencing her daughter with look,
the mother turned to talk to the other
child and in an incredibly short time,

year there is such fad for the char
acter dolls that we find the pink-faced
dolls Of our own youth almost a drug

want the real baby-faced dolls in their

she invariably demands the richly
dressed, blond, blue-eyed dolls. sup

Il only know that this year the
character doll is in great demand. The
rage started last year in Germany,
and this year 1t is quite as bad here
in this country.
Here are some of the newest dolls.
See how individual they are. No two

dolls are made after the photographs
