More police are expected to be
trapped in the dual war on crooked
policemen now being waged by
States Atty Hoyne and Chief
Gleason.
Investigators are patroling the
north, south and west sides in an eff
fort to uncover evidence that certain
police are taking money to wink at
lawbreakers.
Yesterday through a trick engin-
eered by Chief Gleason and First
Deputy Schuettler two officers from
the Cottage Grove avenue station
were caught and they will be charged
with taking money from women of
the underworld.
The two policemen are:
Patrolman John D. FTawley, about
35 years old, married, father of five
children, residing at 5747 South Her
mitage av.; in the department since
1907.
Patrolman Patrick T. O'Toole,
about 25 years old, unmarried, and
residing at 5124 South Aberdeen St;
a policeman since 1913.
Suspicion that police were taking
money from women in the fourth
precinct was first aroused about a
month ago. The states attorney
about the same time also heard re-
ports to this effect and begun an in
vestigation.
The police department put their in
vestigation into the hands of Schuet-
tier and Funkhouser. Two women
we're secured, who were vouched for
by some of Funkhouser's morals

bills.
1t will be charged that later in the
evening the girls met Frawley and

RAcELESS WOMAN GETS NEW
"WHITE" EVIDENCE

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 80. - Armed
wit another weapon to aid her in her
sensational fight to establish her
white parentage, Mrs. Arthur C. Lit
tie returned today from Cincinnati
and deposited with her attorneys an
affidavit signed by Mrs. Luella JEFF

tends further to disprove the charges
of her druggist husband that she is
of negro origin.
Mrs. Jefferson, according to Mrs.
Little, is her foster mother In the
affidavit the negress swears that the
Detroit woman was born in Denver
in 1886 to Mr.. and Mrs. George
in 1886, to Mrs. and Mrs. George

Mrs. Little was further cheered to-

Chief of Police O'Neill of Denver,
containing the names of five Denver
residents who are prepared to make
affidavit that she is of white paren-

900 people at work on the farms in
this country in 1900 and 1t needs a
big school and a big teaching force
to take them all in. The farmer has
been discouraged by seeing every
other industry preferred to his. A
false policy of stimulating these by
legislative favors has naturally tended
to tempt the intelligent, energetic and
ambitious into other occupations.

FIRST IN WIRELESS" FIELD
James Bowman Lindsay, Scotsman,
Known to Have Had the Idea as
Far Back as 1855.

In apportioning the honors due to
the pioneers of wireless telegraphy,
chief among whom is the late Sir
William Preece, modest worker OF
60 years ago deserves a tribute.
James Bowman Lindsay. a Forfar-
shire (Scotland) man, began expert
menting with electricity in 1920. In
a few years he produced a constant
stream of light" which was the ad-
miration of scientists. He sent mes
sages over wires and delivered many
lectures on an electric telegraph.
Then, in 1858, he invented a system
of wireless telegraphy and submitted
1t to a public test, regarding which
Dundee paper of April II, 1858. said:
THE experiment removes all doubt
of the practicability of Mr.. Lindsay 8
invention; and there Is every reason
to think that it will soon connect con-
tinent with continent and island with
island. in one unbroken line of COM
munication."
Lindsay's lectures were advertised
under the title of "Telegraphing With
out Wires" so that the familiar wire
less" itself was anticipated. But he
was more than a scientific experiment
talist. He projected dictionary in 5o
languages and labored on 1t for quar-
ter of a century. 1t was too huge
task, and the "Pentecontaglossal Die
tionary" exists in an unfinished state
only in manuscript He also compiled
with more success a set Of astronomi'
cal tables for the use of chonologists.
Yet this astonishing man never en-
joyed more than an income of $3.50 a
year as teacher until the eve of his
death, when the prime minister grant
ed him a pension of $500 "in recogni.
ton of his great learning and extra
ordinary attainments."

VICTORY OVER JACK FROST
Writer Tells of Preparation Which
VIII Keep Pipes From Freezing
Even in Coolest Weather.

One of the most annoying and trou-
blesome things to be met each winter
in farm and country life is the ques-
ton of frozen water pipes, writes l. C..
Mink in the Country Gentleman. This
is especially SO in districts where
there is no gas line, and where plumb
ing is unprotected and open.
Each winter for several years was
given all kinds of trouble and extra
work in this way as soon as the ther-
mometer reached the freezing point or
lower. After much experimenting l
finally hit upon the easiest. most mex
pensive and surest way to keep the
frost OF the pipes. l have recon-
mended it to many persons, who have
tried it and found 1t saves many repair
bills.
Melt an equal quantity of petroleum
-vaseline-and of paraffin wax to-
gether. and. after wiping the pipes per
fectly dry, apply with an old brush a
thick coat of this mixture. while it is
hot. An old lamp or torch will easily
keep it in a liquid state.
You will find that no matter how
cold the weather may get the frost
cannot penetrate this coat of grease.
I have used this on water pipes that
ran along the ground unprotected. and
not once during the coldest weather
did they freeze or give me the least
trouble.

The Education of the Farmer.

What we must come to-and the
signs of the times indicate that we
cannot make head in that direction
too rapidly-is the smaller farm with
a more intensive agriculture. We sup
port, in round numbers, 100000 900 odd
people on 5000, 100000 square miles of
land We should be able to support
$50 to the square mile as easily as
thirty; and then we should have but a
fraction of the density of population
of Denmark, with 167 inhabitants to
the square mile, Holland with 44S or
4O7 in 1909. But the education of a
whole people in right methods of till
age is a stupendous task. 1t took Eng
land nearly fifty years to do this with
powerful agencies at command and
with a control over her farmers
through Ieasehold conditions that no
one in this country possesses She
has raised her average wheat yield
from twelve and fifteen to upwards
of thirty bushels an acre.
If it should take us fifty years we
would by that time probably have
doubled our population also and bare
ly kept pace with our necessities. But
we have not yet accomplished the
mere preliminaries of such a process.
Not only have we not begun except
in a few cases so rare that they fur

Walking on Wings.

When the big, safe aeroplane of the
future comes the passengers will not
be required to sit still in narrow
cabin, but may stroll at will round the
wings of the machine, just as they
stroll on the decks of an ocean liner.
Incidents that have occurred in this
years flights in many lands give
sound ground for this expectation.
To the average spectator an aero
plane in flight appears to be so deli
cately balanced that any movement
OF a person from one part of the
machine to another and especially any
shifting of weight out on the wings,
would bring disaster. Late eXper-
fences show, however, that it is no
more difficult for some kinds of areo-
planes to adjust themselves constant
" to shifting weights than TO do the
ordinary adjusting, from second to
second. to varying wind-currents.
Many of the records made for passen-
ger-carrying were accomplished with
passengers sitting out on the wings.

only flown with passengers on the
wings but with one passenger NOV
ing out along the wings during flight
A pilot of the Dunno aeroplane, which
has obtained wide notice recently for
its stability, has in the middle of flight
climbed out of his seat and wandered
back to the engine to adjust the spark
and out on a wing to demonstrate his
confidence Very similar feats have
been performed with the Moreau ma
chine.
Though these proofs have been CIV
en- that movement around the wings
is not apparently dangerous on some
machines, the tendency to stouter and
wings has recently developed. Many
aercplanes are now built with steel
framework for the wings; and thin
metal surfaces for the wings are not
considered absurd.
All aeroplane wings are curved
more or less, which of course will
somewhat hinder promenading; but
this will not necessarily prevent it.
Guard rails would have to be provided
round the edges, of course; and this
is Objectionable, for the wind resist
ance of cables and struts on an aero
plane is out of all proportion to the
wind resistance of wings and incloscd
bodies. Yet little additional power
in the engine will take care of this
resistance. So, assuming thot the big
and safe aeroplanes are coming, it is
not unreasonable to expect that their
wings will not be forbidden ground to
assengers.-Saturday Evening Post.
