A Stiff Timer Lin.

Keeping a stiff upper lip is all right.
but there's nothing commer<able
about it. Everybody keeps a site up-
per lip; has to. The upper lip can't
be anything but firm. Ever watch a
child overcome by emotion? It's the
under lip that trembles. and then the
jaw drops, to open an exit for the
roar. Next time tell him to keep a
stiff lower lip. 1t won't sound right. it
will lack punch and probably will fail
to inspire the subject TO the proper de-
gree of steadfastness, but you'll have
the approval of the purist.-Louisvills

Bergdoll Kin Questioned
On Ship Before Sailing
Brother-in-Law's Passport Is
Proved Correct; Denies He
Is Taking Money to Fugitive

Albert Hall, Of Philadelphia, 8
brother-in-law of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, the draft dodger, who is now
in Germany, was questioned by Depart
ment of Justice agents aboard the Hol-
America liner Nieuw Amsterdam
yesterday for half hour before the
vessel sailed for Rotterdam. 1t was
thought that he was departing on an
expired passport, but this was found to
be incorrect. Also, it was reported that
he was on his way to see Bergdoll and
to deliver to him 100000 in American
money.
Hall went aboard the ship about two
hours before her hour of sailing and
locked himself within his room. About
81 half hour before the vessel sailed
Hall emerged from his stateroom and
strolled about the deck. The officials
demanded to see his passport 1t was
found to be one recently issued and
regular.
Further questioning of Hall brought
the information that he was going
abroad on business, had no intention
of visiting Bergdoll and was TAX ng no
money with him. Having no grounds
for preventing Halls departure, the op-
eratives left the ship. Hall said he
would return to the United States early
in December

The Port of New York Authority
