LITTLE JACK COOGAN
 AN INTERESTING KID

Jackie Coogan, five years old and ia nous as the Charlie Chaplin Kid was at a distinct disadvantage when inter viewed in the Biltmore Hotel, New York, recently.
 "Who is your favorite star, Jackie? p he was asked.
 Charlie Chaplin, of course," said Jackie in whitening tones, which implied that only the foolish could doubt it.
 When 1 grow up 1 want to be like Charlie and do slapstick comedy. l love funny falls and slaps. 1 like action lots of it. But what 1 would like to do most of all Is to have baseball bat and bang people on the head-in pictures, 1 mean.
 "In 'Peck's Bad Boy I nearly got swallowed by lion and I let a swarm of ants loose in church and they do a fine lot of damage. When 1 get tired of funny pictures 1 want to be the King of Wonderland"
 Jackie's history IS short and simple. His father was in vaudeville. Charlie Chaplin saw the child with Mr. Coogan and took a fancy to him. The theme of The Kid" gradually took shape in his mind Now Jackie can do Chaplin falls and Chaplin grins and Chaplin toe spins and Chaplin struts. Moreover, he can recite Robert Service at length, although he is short on his A B Cs.
 Anyway, he is a jolly little kid not famous long enough to be spoiled in spite of the fact that he had hundreds of children and grown-ups follow him in triunphal march through the Grand Central Station when he arrived in the metropolis several days ago. He is used to the idea of having people nudge each other when he passes by and say: Look, there goes the Kid

Unlucky Omens :: Among Railroad Men ::

Among many engineers 1t is COnsid- cred unluCky to take ar eng inc out for the first run on Friday, while the num- Der l3 comes in for its share of suS- picion. Of cou SC, few engine drivers of today put much belief in such a super stition, yet there is still hesitancy to diSobey the old-time tradition whenever it can be avoided. There IS a famous story passed down amOrg the men of the Baltimore X Ohio Railroad concern ing a certain master mechanic who de fled the Friday and Is hOodoos by send ing out a new locomotive numbered 13 for its first trip on Friday. His greatest difficulty was in getting crew for the supposedly ill-fate1 engine, for he would not allow the customary good luck' brOOmStiCk or horseshoe to be carried in the cab.
 However, to the satis faction of the men in general, the luck was against the Omen-hghting master mechanic, tor the locomotive proved so eccentric that 1t would stall most unexpectedly on the easiest grades. Its careers, and the test as well, was ended when 1t jumped into the Potomac river while returning with out cars to Baltimore. Then the tale goes on t. state that 1t was hauled out of the water, thoroughly rebuilt, given another number, and ever afterWard was one of the most dependable locomotives on the entire system.
 Express messengers, baggage men, mail clerks and various minor employees who have to work on speedy passenger trains sometimes have pet superstitiOns, many of the mail clerks carrying a good luck charm in the form of frayed piece of mail bag. Express messengers and baggagemen place great deal of significance in what is allotted to their cars and the manner in which it is load ed while even the passengers in the cars behind nnAy have some of their number hopefully depending upon certain talis- mans or signs to bring them good luck on the journey. But when 1t comes right down to the facts, we find that the average railroad man or other person usually follows superstition as a matter of habit, after the custom has been passed down to him from these who once actually 5eiiel ed that signs and charms controlled OUT daily lives.

Attorney General Dausherty spent
yesterday reading the voluminous
records in the case of Eugene V. Debs,
Socialist leader in prison at Atlanta
for violating the espionage law.
The Attorney General went through
the big file of papers with great care.
and when he returned to the Depart
ment of Justice today he continued
his study of the case, particularly the
various angles of 1t bearing upon the
possibility of a Communication of sem
tence for the noted political prisoner
AZ the Department of Justice, off,
cials declared that the Attorney Gen.
erals investigation of the case, at the
suggestion OF the President. may not
be concluded for several days. 1t was
suggested that the Attorney General
probably will confer again with the
President upon the question OF Debs'
release from prison. and that one or
more phases of the case may be dis
cussed tomorrow at the Cabinet meet
ing.
Those officials who have studied the
Debs case in its various aspects were
confident today that an Interesting
development" can be looked for in the
matter within the next ten days or
two weeks. The belief in some quar-
ters was that the new Attorney Gen.
eral may recommend Debs' release
through a Communication of his sem
