tenant, at 2 o'clock this morning.
He dressed silently in the dark,
armed himself with a club, and
slipped out into the corridor. For
two or three minutes he listened. but
heard nothing.
Convinced that a burglar was
somewhere on the premises. Rommer
reused other tenants and started a
search. They opened the door lead
electric fash down the stairway.
Near the top the fash revealed a
huge leather bag, much larger than
a burglar would be expected to use.
Rommer was about to pick 1t up
when his arm was Jerked back by
Thomas McVeigh. a neighbor.
Don't touch it-call the police"
said McVeigh. IT'S probably a
bomb"
All the women and children in the
building were reused and taken out
OF the building before Detectives Dom
nelly and Beck arrived from the
Brownsville station.
They lifted the grip and carried 1t
carefully to the station, where II was
opened.
This looks like what the Grand
Jury might call an 'overshadowing
crime" said Donnelly.
The bag contained eighty pounds OF
sugar subdivided into two-pound
packages.

~ APPINBSS OF man and

AIRY affair in marriage,
the prime purpose OF which Is to
produce robust children, Prof,
William j. Durant, OF Columbia
University said in a lecture at the
Sinai Social Centre here last
night.
Where there are no children
there Is no marriage" he added.
Free love is impossible, the pro-
fessor said, because conquests OF
a man are praised by other men,
but " a woman had had one free
love affair she Is held in ridicule
and belittled by her associates"
Most men now marry after
they have become incapable OF
love" the professor continued,
land then comes your divorce"
Courts say that divorces are
due TO cruelty, drunkenness and
half dozen other things, but
they are all wrong. The three
fundamental reasons for divorce
are:
Il. The natural vanity of both
sexes.
80, Psychological Incompatible
=, Lack of children"

pledges TO vote for increases in their

reprisal for the action OF the Board OF
