Prisoner Makes
Escape From Jail

A prisoner in the county Jail a.
Jacksonville by the name Of
Black, arrested two weeks ago fol
stealing a Chevrolet car, escaped
Saturday night by the simple pro
cess of locking his jailor in the
cell house by a clever ruse. An
alarm was given, the jailor liber'
ated, but but Black was fleeing
without hat or coat. This oc-
Cured about O'Clock.
The jailor went to see if the
prisoners were all in bed, as is his
nightly custom. They said they
were. Black was hiding under a
table, and with ore leap landed
in the corridor. He slammed and
locked the door, and his keeper
was prisoner. Black left without
his hat or coat. In about five
minutes all Jacksonville was
awake, and a posse from the sher-
ifs office in pursuit with Sheriff
Terrill in the lead.
Nothing has been heard from
the fugitive so far as can be
learned.

Marine Corps
Fast Gr0WInq

WASHINGTON. - Recruiting
for the marine corps is rapidly in
creasing and is expected to reach
the highest peace-time point for
midsummer recruiting this month.
Before the war 500 men a month
was considered a fair average for
the smallest of the three branches
of the service, and the present
indications are that the August
figures will easily double that
number.
The marine corps is now re-
cruited to about so per cent of its
authorized strength of 27 400, and
at the present rate of progress
will reach the maximum number
within few months. While the
passing of the pay and bonus bills
have had a stimulating effect on
enlistments, recruiting officers be-
lieve that the educational advan-
tages now offered to marines are
leading large numbers to enlist.

Mayor Fires
Police Force
Plays Cop

ALLIANCE, Ohio, Sept. T..
From the depth OF personal eXpe-
lience, Mayor w. c. Westoyer, Al
lance, advises executives to learn
the Jobs of their subordiates.
"You never know when you'll
have to fill EN-" he said.
Westoyer knows whereof ha
speaks, for he recently had occas-
ion to drop his entire police de-
partment and filled one OF the va
cancies himself. The policemen
demanded certain raises in pay
and changes in working conditions
which the mayor decided were in
compatible with the welfare OF the
city.
So he told the force to quit il
it wanted to. 1t did and the city.
was policeless. Nothing daunted
the mayor called his safety drec-
tor and several firemen, provided
clubs and other trars of a police
man and patrolled the city. West
over walked a beat for two days
and relieved himself by organi2-
ing new police force.
