the larceny of the ball White who
appeared against him incidentally had
to answer some pointed questions by
the court as to whether he was operat-
ing gambling place or not.
The quizzing occurred when White
attempted to go into some elaborate
explanation as to the way star" pool
is played.
THAT sort of joint can't be toler-
ated, declared Additional Law Judge

to say that this is a very dangerous
practice. It's rather risky"

Witchcraft Book Being
Sold Here by Thousands

The city police have unearthed
what they believe to be revival of
the formerly well-knoWn ''pow-wow-
ing or hex -doctoring," when they
found small printed books on two
chicken thieves, which they claim
were charms against evil
Later it was learned that a book
entitled The Long Lost Friend is
being printed here and sold by the
hundreds.
The book is full of spells, charms,
and cures for any disease or injury
prevalent among the human race,
with several wonderful cures for var
ious domestic animals. Even fisher
men given helpful 60 aid in spell
to be used to have the fish collect
about the nets.
The simplicity and childishness of
some of the rules and charms is as
tonishing, some of them resembling
the old Mother Goose rhymes and lit
poems taught to Youngsters. The
book was originally published in 1928
and John George Holman is the au-
thor. Dire threats are printed telling
of the awful fate awaiting anyone who
knowingly, refuses to use the charms
in the book to save the eye, leg or
any other limb of his fellow-man.

important features of the naval ap-

First - Authorization for the con-

Second-Legislation that will enable
the Navy Department to hurry the
construction of the vessels now build
ing and to set up a more efficient gov
ernmcnt industrial organization ia
back up the fleet and give it real
fighting power.
Sentiment of the members of the
House committee on naval affairs
shows clearly that they have at least
been impressed with the absolute ne
Cessity of constructing battle cruisers
II is an even bet that four battle cruis-
ers will be authorized by the commit
tee and sufficient appropriations will

New York Sends a Weekly
Budget of Interesting News

New York March II. - Secret service
men from Washington, with local pos
tai inspectors and police, are Sc" rching
the city and suburbs for clew to the
most daring postal robbery New York
has had in years. Four registered mail
pouches were rifed on a ferryboat be-
tween New York and Jersey City, and
close to 81 100000 in cash stolen. The
pouches were removed from an auto
mail truck on the ferryboat and then
replaced. A driver and two postal mes
sengers seated on the front of the
truck knew nothing of the robbery un-
til the pouches were opened in the reg
istered mail division of the main post
office There We're several pieces of
mail in each of the pouches which had
not been tampered with, but everything
else of value had been removed. Keys
to pouches containing registered mail
are kept in the registry divisions of the
post Offices and never carried outside,
with the exception of the keys carried
by railway mail clerks making long
runs. where the mail is sorted during
the trip. No driver of motor truck is
trusted with key to the truck cage
Despite these precautions the valuable
haul which the thieves made was ac-
complished so quickly and with such
ease that it has thus far completely
baffied the investigators.
In order to bring the universities of
the United States into closer touch with
the needs and demands of the large
commercial institutions of our country,
an arrangement has been entered into
j.
Vale. Princeton, Pennsylvania and New
York universities and the National City
Bank. of this city forNco- operation in
a practical course of education for for
eign banking commerce. The main
purpose of this arrangement is to help
the university student to come to an
early decision as to his life's work, and.
at the same time, to assure him of an
opening in q business for which he has
been specially trained. This will also
tend to provide the bank with we'll
trained men each year for it's foreign
and domestic service. 1t is proposed to
pay the student $50 a month for the
first year, with the opportunity of en-
tering the permanent service OF the
bank at the end of that time. provided
that there is an opening and that the
student has satisfactorily passed the re-
quirements of both the bank and of
the university which he has been at
tending. Students selected by the uni
versites will thus be enabled to spend
one. year in the employ of the bank
during their four years or more in col
lege. and in consideration of the pra-
tical work obtained and the course of
study pursued while at the bank to
graduate with their class and obtain
their degree.
