Manila. P. l.. April 1.-Two Rus sian girls who arrived recently from Siberia as stowaways or the trans port Crook, escaped deportation to- day by marrying American soldiers of the 31st Infantry.
 The girls, Olga Nohromayeva and Feodorahka Motha, dressed as Amer ican soldiers, boarded the transport at Vladivostok, and their identity did not become known until the ship carrying more than 1000 officers and men of the 31st Infantry, was well on her voyage When they attempt ed to land here they were taken ir to custody.
 An hour before the transport Mad awaska was ready to sail for Vladl- vostok, the girls were taken to the pier by officers of the Immigration service who expected to start then on their return to Siberia.
 While the party was awaiting al the pier and Filipino policeman was guarding the girls, Sergeant Morris Duncan and Private F. Mai of the 31st Infantry appeared witt marriage licenses and Filipino min ister who performed a double cere mony.

Phone Girls Scoop
 All Big Dailies

Louisville, Ky, April 14.-While editors of metropolitan newspapers decried the laxity of telephone oper- ators and their correspondents, the Misses Dot Hockaday and Ruth Tho mas, the entire staff of the Mays vile (Ky.) Independent, "scooped' them on the recent lynching Of Grant Smith, negro, in Fleming County.
 Hearing that the negro had been taken by mob from the Paris, Ky, jail and rushed in the darkness to- ward Fleming County, the girls hired an automobile truck and for two hours combed the country for traces of the mob and the negro.
 They travelled over roads which they described as fearful" and 10 o'clock finally came within view of the mob's automobiles. Parking the truck, the girls crept near the scene. They saw preparations for the hang ing and watched as Smith was being strung up. After the crowd dispers- ed, they inspected the body, took notes, and hurried back to Maysville and put out an extra edition before 12 o'clock.
 Meantime, all other correspondents who were racing through the country in fast automobiles, failed to locate the hanging.

The head of the public library in T big steel-making community in Western Pennsylvania ran into the chef chemical export of a huge rolling mill one day not more than q year ago, according to Edwar1 Hungerford in the March number of System, the Magazine of Business.
 The librarian is fairly expert him. self on the theory of the making of steel, and to him the chemist con fided some of the details of an im- .portant new experiment that he had just finished.
 "It must have cost the firm some thing to put through the experi- ment,' ventured the librarian.
 "A pretty penny or two," was the prompt reply. "In fairly exact fig ures, something in excess of $1O,oOO.'
 The librarian laughed.
 That entire experiment. was made by the Germans four years ago, and with precisely the same results ; said he. "The whole thing, right down to the fine details, is on the shelves of our library. You might have saved lot of time and money.''
