PLOT MAI ROBBERIES
Big Gang of Bandits Operating
 Throughout Country.
in Robbery of Postoffce Wagon at
 Toledo, O.

Washington.-A nationwide plot for the wholesale robbery of mail trains, post offices and post office wagons is now in operation, according to George NJ. Sutton, chief of the postal inSpee- tion service, following the hoidup in Toledo. O., when $400,000 loot was obtained from postal wagon, and on the Northern Pacific railroad, near Minneapolis, when a loss estimated at several hundred thousand dollars was suffered
 Evidence gathered in preliminary h. vestigations of these cases and others that have occurred in the last few months, MT. Sutton said, indicate that a bandit ring is in operation with net work throughout the United States.
 q am confident we will soon be able to break up the nationwide organiza- 1on of post office burglars and other criminals who are planning burglaries at many points," he said. There is every expectation that the bandits who robbed the Toledo post office wag. on soon will be caught"
 There has been a sharp increase in the number of post office and mall rain robberies, the records show, but the officials insist that this is but one phase of the crime wave which has been on throughout the country dur ing the last few months. The in- crease in mail robberies is less, they say, than in other lines, that is, banks trust companies and various financial institutions.

Killing of a "Bobyr by a Crim- inaI Is Rare Occurrence, Says
 Former Inspector.

 intoxication on Wane.

New York.-How London is policed by 2,200 constables over an area 30 miles in diameter without a revolver in the pocket of bobby" was dis cussed by Inspector A. J. Spriggs, honorary secretary of the London Met ropolitan Police Athletic association, who is living. at the New York Police club, according to the New York World.
 Crime wave, you say?" he asked, quizzically, when questioned on the sit uation in London. Why, we have our good and bad spells, like you do here He then explained that London ap- points 1000 constables year. He said the force had been depleted by more than 1000 during the war, many of the men never returning. But even in normal times, he explained the de partment requires 1000 new men an- nually.
 Don't Expect to Be Shot
 Have any of your policemen been killed by criminals, as happens here once in a while?"
 "Why, no; hardly ever; that won be q record" he replied.
 Flows that?"
 "Our men are not armed"
 "Why?"
 "No need for it-a criminal does not expect to be shot, and l suppose he does not care to risk being found with gun," responded the Londoner.
 London policemen are promoted fright off, for especially good work, h. spector Spriggs explained. He said that almost every man entering the department in the last year or two had been a soldier.
 Few Policemen Are Killed.
 The London copper works an eight hour shift, during which he is allowed a half-hour for lunch. The pay is no as much as it is here, because the Lon doners are paid, housed and clothed The married men live at home witt their families and are allowed housing expenses.
 The killing of a policeman in Lon don is rare-not one year-the in spector explained. He said the police orphanage, an institution for the car' and rearing of dependent children O deceased policemen, was supported principally by the athletic activities oi the police, coupled with concerts by the five bands maintained by the de partment, and also by the police min strel troupe.
 Public intoxication is on the wane in London. the inspector said, for the public houses" are open only from six to ten o'clock at night. Recently London has appointed policewomen principally for welfare work and pa i trol duty in the parks and public places There was also recently en- acted a law against possession of fire arms-although the criminal element he emphasized again, does not carry a gun.
 Inspector Spriggs said the courts support the police .'splendidly," al though a first offender is hardly ever sent to jail.

FIND LIKENESS
 OF AUGUSTUS
ArchaeoIogist Discovers Splendid Statue of Roman Emperor
 at TivoIi.
LIFELIKE STUDY BY ARTIST
Valuable Addition to Portraits of Ro. man Emperors and Is Only One Extant Done During Em-
 perors Life.

Rome.-Tivoli, that lovely little city perched above Rome, called Tibur by the ancient Romans, has just given to the archaeological world two new art treasures-an augusteum, or hall and a splendid head of Emperor An gusruS.
 Prof. Alessio Valle, one of the arch. aeologists who have made Tivoli d special study, long believed that Tivoli should reveal an ancient Aall of importance, considering the flour. ishing state of the city in Roman days. He began to dig near a newly discovered weights and measures of flee, also dating from the Roman en- pire, thinking that the public weights and measures must surely be near some important hall.
 He was not mistaken. He las opened up hall with a Roman pave ment of white and green marble which looks as if it were put down this morning, so fresh is it, and the statue of Augustus, broken but with The head intact, as the picture shows, with the lifelike lines cut out of the marble by some unknown sculptor of evident genius.
 Likeness of Augustus.
 The statue is a likeness of Angus tus when he had grown old. An in- Scriptioh underneath it, which dedi- cates the statue to the gods, flor the happy return in good health of our Augustus Caesar" proves it was done during the famous emperor's lifetime, a votive offering to the gods by a NJ. Veranus Diifilus. The same man gave the public weights and measures to the city.
 History lets us date this statue be tween B. c. 31 and A. D. II, when Emperor Augustus died near Naples aged seventy-six. Experts say the face is the face of man of fifty. In the worn lines. the ill-tempered mouth. its upward twist at the left side, we have no hattering picture of the grea emperor. but a lifelike study by al artist who dared to cut his statue a. he saw the human model. For thi: reason, and because of it's surely be ing done in Augustus lifetime, it is n very valuable addition to the col lection of portraits of the Roman emperors, and probably the only one extant of Augustus done during his lifetime.
 The figure, which originally sat on the pedestal at the head of the hall, is graceful, as Suetoius, that gos- sipy historian from whom later scribes have learned nearly all they know about the Roman emperOrs told us, Saylng:
 Graceful Person.
 He was a very graceful person through all the stages of life, though he was very careless in his dress and would set several barbers to work upon his hair together, and would sometimes clip and sometimes shave his beard and at the same time would be reading or writing"
 Augustus, though emperor, called himself a democrat and, says Sce- toius, always abhorred the title -v lord as scandaf6us affront.'' R> tells us, too. that the emperor caugk- cold easily and wore woolen under wear in winter, with a thick wao toga."
 This broken statue, with the bass on which it stood. unearthed after S long bridges the gulf of centuries anh brings one of the greatest rulers the world ever saw very near.

London.-When the will of a man who died at St. Leonards was read recently it was found that he had left his wife "the sum of one shilling to enable her to buy a rope.

LEM, THE BASHFUL
lie Desired Popularity. But Was Too
Tiz1id To Go After II.

Lemuel Gibbons was a boy of
what someone termed the Abe
Lincoln type"-in appearance, that
is He was tail, honey lad Of sew
enteen, with unruly hair, a very
freckled face. a mouth that was a
little larger than necessary, and, in
general, was Of an uncommonly
awkward appearance.
He was at that age when the old
folks spoke of him as inst gittin'
his growth" and he was sprouting
out in all sorts of directions. Con-
Sequently his clothing did not fit
him exactly, and his long honey
wrists stuck from out his coat
sleeves much in the same manner
as the wooden arms of a scare
crow
When Lemuel Gibbons would
stride slowly ard deliberately down
the street. a person watching him
might suddenly find himself listen
ing attentively for a little squeak
as that of a turning wheel badly
In need of oil. Lemuel Gibbons
movements had an odd mechanical
swing.
To top this off, Lemuel was
very bashful. He admitted this
himself, for he could not do other
wise inasmuch as the fact was as
plain as the nose on his face (Which
is saying a great deal, considering
LENS nose).
All this may be the reason
Lemuel was the butt of so many
jokes at Parker High School.
Hardly a day passed that Lemuel
Gibbons didn't furnish his fellow
students with a good laugh. He
did not have to do anything in
particular 10 cause nerriment-his
very appearance took care of that
For instance, when Lemuel would
be called upon TO recite and arose
from his seat to do so, there always
was a certain amount of tittering
behind handkerchief and hands.
Lemuel would then get so ratified"
he would stumble miserably in MS
recitation and provoke still more
laughter-much to his discomfort.
When he found himself in such
predicaments he would often wish
himself far away from all humanity,
but that was impossible, so he
would just grin broadly and bear
the humility of il all as best he
could.
