An gelo Balleta, aged II, and Joseph Menzacapha, aged 9. accordingly se- cured a screw driver and a glass cut ter with which they tried their luck on the show windows of a toy shop. Their luck was so bad that it landed them in the Bronx children's court, and added two more to the surprising ly long list of youngsters who have lately set out to make a dishonest living.
 Doe" Cartwright played in hard luck too, though he has long since graduated from the ranks of juve- nile crime.

Doc is accused of forging check for $100, he has served time for an earlier forgery and under many an alias he is wanted for many mis- step.

 The squirrel which had wandered into Columbus Circle from it's roof tree in Central Park, enjoyed the fun as much as did traffic policemen, mo- tor drivers and standersbys. Young fuzzytail started across the circle, straight for Broadway, but got con fused and ran beneath a limousine If the average New Yorker were the ruthless speed maniac which outsiu- CTS think him, the driver of the linn cuisine would have rolled calmly over the squirrel and on his way.

 Fifteen minutes is long time anywhere in New York when traffic Is blocked. It is especially long in columbus Circle. where Broadway flows into several other roaring thoroughfares.

SOLDIER PRESIDENT. OF ARMENIA PAYS
 THANKS TRIBUTE.
One Disaster After Another In Succession So HideouS
 It Is Almost Un- beIieVable
By Associated Press
vian. Soviet Republic of Armenia

Ervian, Soviet Republic of Armenia September 24.-PaXton Hibben, a rep resentative of the near east relief. has just had an interview with the soviet president of Armenia in which the president told him that the feel ing of the Armenians toward Aremi- cans for their help was something deeper than gratitude
 MT. Hibber explains that the presi- dent is really the president of the Revcoma, double abreviation of revolutionary committee" and that this committee corresponds to what would be called in most other coun- tries, "the cabinet"
 The Armenian president came into an office where MT. Hibben was talk ing with two members of the cabinet. The relief agent describes the incl dent thus:
 The door opened in the casual way that people have of putting in and out of anybody's office and breaking into anybodys conversation in this com munist land and a common soldier entered in the cotton khaki high black boots and shirt outside his pants His head was sifaven like that of any soldier of the Red Guard. It was what writers call a bullet head He pulled up chair and sat down. his elbows on the table, lis tening.
 "'What do you want to ask the president? asked one of the mlnis- ters, waving his hand at the man dressed as a common soldier, with out mark of distinction of any kind on him. We made very little prog ress until I asked him about the American relief work in Armenia; 1; then he opened up a bit" MT. Hib- ben quotes the Armenian president as saying:
 Cannot Understand Horror
 You Americans must have heard so much about the sufferings of Ar menia that 1 can quite understand that you should say to yourselves: Whats the matter with these Ar menians that they are always starv- ing to death" The only trouble Is that you cannot understand be- cause in the United States you do not know what has been going on out here in Transcaucasia, nor what has taken place in Armenia itself disaster after another, in success sion so hideous that it is almost un- believable."
 The president reviewed the chap ters of Armenias tale of woe-the World war, Turkish and Russian in- vasions and Armenias war with Georgia. The final Turkish horror, he said, was only in April last, four months ago. He went on:
 Tn all these seven years from 1914, there has not been one moment of peace or security for anybody Not chance to get on our feet. Every thing destroyed, pillaged, burned. Ev- erybody homeless. Everybody starv- ing. A regular hell.
 There's a free Armenia, today.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-25

And when everythlng's said and done there will be free Armenia. It has cost great many lives. and. an in- credible deal os suffering. But It's worth it.
 But all through this struggle we Armenians felt that we could count, and we did count,--on you Americans. You alone were dislnterested in your relief work. You didn't mix in poli- tics and you didn't try to exploit us.
 Just to say that we are grateful is nothing. What we feel about it is, of course, something deeper than mere gratitude. It Is hard to- say what it is that we feel But you go out among the Armenian people you, an American-and you will find that to them you are something diff ferent from other men. Whatever you want of them, you can have-to the last man of them. You don't need a passport or credentials or any thing else. You are an American. That's enough.
 We've only had peace in this country four months, now. We are working our heads off. all of us, to try to put the country on its feet again. But you cannot undo the ter rible damage of seven years of de- struction in seven months. We need help now more than we ever have for it's now or never with us. We've got our chance-but we can't swing
