A VERY BUSY LITTLE
CHECK ARTIST NABBED

Pensacola, Jan. six or eight
checks, said to have been passed by
young Sterling, young man In the
city Jail, were gathered up yester-
day. In all about nine checks were
passed, and last night Sterling, in
the office of Chief Sanders, admitted,
under a severe cross questioning on
the part of the chief, that several of
the checks had been passed by him.
The entire lot which had been
turned down by banks were not held
against him. One lady who readily
cashed a check for small amount,
asked that he be not prosecuted on
her account. but, rather, If he want
ed a dollar. she was ready to pro-
vide him with the money IL it would
help to get him something to eat
She so notified Chief Sanders.
Sterling, in telling something of
himself said that. he was born in
Canada, of English parents, and that
his home was in Ottawa. While he
claims to be but IS years of age, it
is believed he is at least 21.
Several Greeks hunted up the chief
and told him the banks would not
take the checks as presented by
Sterling and cashed by them. One
was for SIS and of course that Greek
was the more excitable of any of
four who hunted up the chief and
related a story of their being vic
timized. One Greek on West Garden
street, one on North Baylen street,
one on North DeVilliers street, a
feed store on Garden street, and sew
eral other places loaded up the po-
lice department head with their
worthless checks yesterday, as soon
as the fact became known that bad
checks were being circulated.
Chief Sanders said that Sterling
had admitted to three of the checks
being his, and his trial will be held
on Saturday.

LIBEL TO CALL MAN JUDAS

Madison. Wis, Jan. 21-To COM
pare a man to Judas Iscariot is libel
lous, according to the decision of the
Wisconsin Supreme Court Saturday
in the case of Giles H. Putnam
against Congressman E. f. Browne
and the Post Printing Company.
Chief Justice Wfnslow said the
opinion of the court was that the
article complained of "likens the
plaintiff not to an ordinary turncoat
but to the man who, in the estima-
tion Of the Christian world, COM
mitted the greatest crime in history
by selling the life of his Divine Mas
ter for money. 1t requires no argu-
ment to prove this is a gibe, a con-
temptuous insult and not mere criti-
cism of any type, hence it is not
privileged, being libellous on its
face The only question to be sub
mitted to the jury in connection
with it is the question of the amount

AMERICAN AIRMAN EXCITES
THE JAPANESE PEOPLE

Toxic, Jan. 20 Rarely has an
event excited the Japanese people as
did the flight of Charles Niles, the
American aviator who gave two ex-
hibitions before some of the largest
crowds ever witnessed in Japan. The
first days crowd was estimated at
100000 and the second at 100000.
The house-tops and other points Of
vantage about the Aoyama parade
where Mr.. Niles manoeuvred in the
air were black with people and many
arrived hours before the time of fly
ing In order to get good position.
Prince Higashi Kuni, who Is peedly
interested in aviation, was present
on both occasions as were several of
the junior princes of the Imperial
Japanese house.
Mr.. Niles did his flying under the
auspices of the Aero Club of Japan
of which the president is General
Gaishi Nagaoka. !
This was the first time that the
people Of Japan have seen aviation
feats in mid-air and the manoeuvres
of Mr.. Niles who flew upside down,
looped the loop and gave an exhibi-
tion of what is called falling
leaves" caused wonder. The great
crowd became frantic with cheering
and became so unmanageable that 1t
broke loose and rushed to the place
where Mr.. Niles had landed. 1t was
only after some desperate struggling
that the airamans assistants were
able to force their way through and
rescue the machine as we'll as the
airmar from the enthusiastic and
somewhat embarrassing acclama-
tions of the crowd.
Mr.. Niles was presented to Prince
Higahi Kuni. who warmly compli-
mented him upon his exhibition, the
like of which, he said, he had never
seen. Several floral pieces were also
presented to the aviator. japanese
officers headed by General Nagaoka
gave dinner to Mr.. Niles at which
General Nagaoka referred to him as
the Commodore Perry of the air a"
The officer said: You have come
to us at a time when the state of
aviation in Japan is quite similar to
the state Of civilization when Com
modore Perry came. We confidently
expect that the progress of aviation
in this empire will be enhanced
greatly by your flights and hence we
can appropriately give you the title
of the Commodore Perry of the air"

Austrian army is marching along the

TECHNICAL TRAINING IN
HOUSEHOLD DUTIES

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 21.-
The average hired girl does not
care for technical training in house
hold duties and the average house
wife employer could not afford to
pay the higher wages due skilled
workers, according to a report made
here today to the National Society
for the Promoting of Industrial Edu-
catin by Bess NJ. Rowe of the Agri
culture Extension Division of the
University of Minnesota. The report
was one of the results of the Min
neapolis Survey" which subject en-
gagged the exclusive attention of the
convention this morning.
The report on homeworkers said
the investigation was conducted by
undergraduates of the University
belonging to the Phi Upsilon Omi-
cron sorority, a professional home
economics society. Three types of
home were visited, those where the
work was done by paid employees,
those where members of the family
performed the tasks but in surround
ings of comfort and even luxury,
and those where the house-mother
struggled with problems of bare ex-
istence Each type was examined in
an effort to determine whether short
courses in domestic science would be
welcome.
After disposing of the hired
girl question. the report said of,
the second type of home that "m'ost
home workers who are performing
their own daily tasks have gained
whatever technical knowledge they
possess from their own experiences
or from the experiences of their
mothers and their friends" II was
said that while ) such housekeep-
ers expressed a desire for a practical
and experienced teacher, only eleven
spoke of the necessity of technical
training" The investigators thought
this emphasized that the woman
with training but lacking as actual
experience in homework finds it diff
fcult to gain the confidence of the
practicing housekeeper.
The student investigators encoun-
tered difficulty in obtaining informa-
tion from poverty-stricken homes.
OF the poorest section OF Minneapo-
lis the report said. "it would be
hopeless to attempt courses such as
might be given in other parts of the
city" It was pointed out that the
mothers in many cases do day work
and have neither time nor strength

some expressed desire that these be
given for their children. Groups for
household training already organized
by social settlements were held out
as providing a wedge into this sec
tion of the general problem.
In its general conclusion the re-
port stated, in part:
Only one out Of every five home
workers have had training in any of
the household arts except what they
got on the job condition which
would not be tolerated in any other
profession with an equal amount Of
skill and technical requirements.
"The great average American
home makes the largest demand for
training; the type of home in which
the work is done by homemaker her
