STOLE CAR Of
MAN WHO TAUGHT
HIM HOW TO DRIVE

Atlanta, Dec. 15.-Howard Patillo,
whose new six-cylinder car was stole l
last night, is reminded of the Aesop
fable of the man who picked up d
frozen snake and put it under his coat
to warm it.
Two days ago, Frank Corrie, six
teen-year-old boy, who claimed that he
had earnest aspirations to become a
chauffeur and support his widowed
mother, persuaded Mr.. Patillo, purely
out of the goodness of his heart, to
show him how to work the self-starter
on the big car, and other things about
its mechanism
Next night Corie laid for the car.
and putting his newly learned knowl-
edge into practice, stole it. He might
have got clean away of he hadn't made
the mistake of borrowing a chisel
from an honest negro chauffeur. The
negro saw him trying to chisel the
license number off the car, and i'm
mediately called a police.
Corrie, it developed, was arrested
once before on a similar charge and
it is expected that this time he will get
a stockade sentence, without the usual
alternative of fine.
Mr. Pattillo is the fourth Albanian
within four days past whose car has
been stolen from before his office or
residence door

EDWARDS WOULD STOP
KILLING OF CALVES

Washington, D. c., Dec. 15.-Repre-
sentative Edwards Of Georgia, intro
duced a bill aimed at the killing of
heifer calves under IS months old. lie
seeks to prevent the great waste and
slaughter of young calves and help re-
duce the cost of living.
He forhids the transportation OF any
young female calf in interstate com
meree for the purpose of being slaugh-
tered.
We hear great deal about the
high cost Of living. 1t is due largely,
in my opinion. to the wasteful and

ROW IN ANGEL
FAMILY OVER
THE CHERuBS
JUNIOR MRS. ANGEL CALLS HER
MOTHER-IN-LAW "OLD CATS AND
. Is FINED S..

Belleville, Mo, Dec, 15.-The elav-
ents commandment for women in this
town is: Thou shalt not call they
mother-in-law an old cat"
The real test of what happens when
:, young married woman loses control
of her temper and alludes to her hus-
bands mother as an "old cat came
today in Justice Louis E. Wangelin &
court, when he looked wise after such a
, charge had been made and declared
the market price of the infraction is
, to be IS, plus the excess being the
fixed amount of the fine.
By the irony of fate the fine fell on
woman named Angel. She was not
born an Angel and her mother-in-l law
intimates that she never will be much
of an angel, but that is her name. Ey-
en- a real angel could not live IN
peace and happiness with her hus-
bands mother if the latter persisted
in trying to boss the job of bringing
up the children. she says.
According to the story told by the
militant Angel, the older one offered
some suggestions to the younger An
gel about bringing up the wee-wee An
gels, the cherubs, as it were The jun
ion Angel was not used to this sort Of
thing, and for time did not pay much
attention to what the senior Angel had
to say about the imperfections of he
cherubs, but when she continued to
criticise the junior Angel admits los
ing her temper
The senior Angel arrived at the Of
flee of Justice Wangelin out of breath
and thirsting for vindication. She told
her troubles to the justice and a war
rant was issued on which the junior
Angel was arrested.
At the trial the charge was made
that the term "an old cat" had been
used as an epithet by Mrs. Anne An
/ gel in addressing her mother, Mrs.
Arch Angel. There was a tense mo-
ment after the charge had been made
and the court waited for the reply of
the accused Angel
Did you call your mother-in-law an
old cate" asked the court.
q certainly did said the junior An
gel How much is it?'
1T will be So and COSTS" said the
court.
This ended the process dings and the
warning Angels left the courtroom and
went to their joint home by different
routes, leaving the other details oi
the affair to be attended to by the re-
cording angel. After their departure
Mr. Angel, who was not at home at the
time of the disturbance, came into tn
courtroom and paid the fine assessed
against his wife.

HAIR ON The FACE
KAISER'S IDEA OF A
GOOD FIGHTING man
German Emperor Said to Think Clean
Shaving an Effeminate Practice and !
AmericaniSm

Berlin, Dec. Is. - The growing
popularity of smoothly shaver faces
may be gratifying enough to makers
of barberless razors, but it is sternly
frowned upon by Emperor William
The emperor has put the imperial ia
boo on smooth upper lips in the army,
according to reports published by The
Roland, newspaper.
His imperial highness is himself the
proprietor Of probably the best known
and most military mustaches in the
world today. 1t is his idea that hair
on the face is the trade mark of the
regular fighting man.
"The bare upper lip" opines the
monarch, lis effeminateaand its grow
ing popularity indicates the adoption
of another Americanism."
He adds the wish-which amounts t.
more than commandment the young
officers keep their razors from their
mustache sites when they take their
morning scrapes.
According to the emperor's idea thai
whiskers make the soldier, Napoleon
Bonaparte was raw recruit, and thu
Russian technically were better fight
ers than the Japs, because they allowed
doormats to flourish on their faces.

ployes of the Standard Underground

willingness to return to work at the
terms of agreement decided upon,
William A. Conner, vice president
and general manager, announced to-
day that the plant would be opened

cable works to arbitrate the strike.
The factory officials stated the strike
had been settled and employees had
signified their willingness to resume
work Monday morning. The officials
are informed that the workers will
appear for duty Monday morning as
usual and thus expect the plant will
again be put in normal operation.
They anticipate no repetition of dis
agreement among the workers. Men
are to receive an increase of cent
and a half an hour, which will give
them fifteen cents more day, which
was asked for, and boys and girls
Will receive proportionate increases
in pay.
All employees were to have started
work on Thursday. Mr.. Conner says
the strike was settled on Wednesday
and. the workers lad agreed to re-
turn on Thursday in view of the in
crease in pay granted. Several boys
and youths continued to be dissatis-
fed on Thursday, with the result
that all departments were crippled
in the afternoon OF that date. All
departments of the factory but the
rubber works, resumed in full blast
in the morning, but it is declared
some strikers intimidated workers at
the noon hour, with the result that
they hesitated to return to work in
the afternoon. No more trouble Is
expected at the plant following the
latest agreement.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT FAVOR
Playground Board Thinks
Well of Plan olIsy Matter
Taken Up Kayor Writes.

49, ubllc sentiment seems to be in
IaVo1 OF establishment of a park on
the city property situated west Of
pubic school No. 8. Members of the
PUBIC Playground Commission speak
faYorably of the immediate establish
ment of park on the city property
and the Western Improvement Asso-
ciation last night declared the munic-
ipal property in question would be an
ideal spot for a public park. At its
meeting the association discussed
and heard reports on several other
subjects.
Public parks were discussed at
length at the organization meeting
reports were received indicating that
residents in the southern section of
the city are opposed to using the
park in front of city hail. Members
stated the tract of land between Elm
street and the Central railroad was
treeless and is not owned by the city.
The association therefore suggested
would be better policy for the
improve its own property than
~ spend money on that of the rail-
road company. 1t was pointed out
TO members of the Western Improve
ment Association that the city has
large tract well covered with trees
located directly west of school No. s.
1t was declared that with very little
expense that could be converted into
park and place Of recreation.
Members said such places would soon
be sought and it would be well to
investigate and II possible have the
land placed in shape before summer
They maintained that such action
would certainly be appreciated by the
public.
Trolley extension to the northwest
ern section of the city was again dis
cussed by the association last night.
The committee appointed for that
purpose reported that it had commu-
nicated with the Perth Amboy Board
of Trade and had been assured of
it's cooperation. Arrangements were
started to have a committee appoint
ed to act with a committee of the
Board of Trade to make arrange
ments for meeting with officials of
trolley companies.
The committee recently appointed
to investigate conditions of alleged
dangerous ponds and pools of water
in the western and northwestern sec
tions tf the city reported that not
less than a dozen had been found. 1t
was declared that four of them rang
ed in depth from seven to fifteen feet
and were very dangerous, aside from
being injurious to public health. The
members maintained 1t would be a
comparatively simple matter to drain
or fill them in. The subject has been
referred to the Board of Health and
the organization looks for early re-
lief.
The association received a commu-
nication from Mayor Ferd Garretson
in regard to the hearing on the elm
ination of railroad grade crossings.
The association accordingly appoint
ed committee of six to represent 1t
at the hearing before the Board of
Public Utility Commissioners.
