attached to the department Of justice
at Washington is Wrisley Brown. Not
long ago he was sent to town in the
middle West to investigate quietly the
condition of a bank there. In order
not to arouse any suspicious he used
an assumed name in registering at
the hotel.
All day long he busted himself
about the town and went to his hotel
at night tired and footsore.
Lets see, what's your room num-
ber?' asked the proprietor, when
Wrisley went to the desk for his key.

What's your name, then? I'll look

For the life Of him, Wrisley
couldn't remember what name he had
used when he registered that morn

away.

INVENTOR OF The FOKKER

Mijnheer Fokker, the inventor OF
the monoplane that bears his name
and that for several months has been
greatly disturbing the adversaries OF
Germany by it's speed and destructive
powers, is q native Of Holland, and IS
said to be not more than twenty-three
or twenty-four years old. He has
spent the greater part o. his life IN
Germany, but would appear to be
thoroughly familiar with the French
flying machines. A number of the de-
vices on the Fokker are claimed by
the French to be outright copies OF
their own.
About five years ago Fokker made
his appearance in the German flying
corps, and his first monoplane was re-
ceived with such small enthusiasm
there that the invention was offered
to the British government. Some Eng
lish experts examined it, recommend
ed it as being uncapsizable, but so bad
