The enthusiasm of amateur wire
less operators is being cashed in by
the New York police in their new me-
thod of preventing the sale in nearby
cities of stolen automobiles. Every
night, about midnight, the depart
ment wireless operators in the tower
at police headquarters send out list
and descriptions of all autos stolen
during the day. Amateurs all over
the East pick up the messages and in
the morning turn hem over to heir
local palice stations. Many cars have
raleady been recovered by this ex-

''Beer Vat Mushrooms" are the pro-
duct of Manhattan's very latest in
dustry. A, G. Hupfel, jr., of this
city, surprised the Congressional
committee the other day by going
down to appear before them in a spe-
cial plea for protection for this in
FAINT industry. Right in the heart
of New York city," he testified, "is
my mushroom plantation in my old
brewery. We have discharged no
brewery employees. They are all
raising mushrooms in the old rock
cellars with their watts which used to
hold 10000 to 10000 gallons of beer"
By being a sort of second "Flying
Dutchman," sailing back and forth
from port to port and never landing,
Jon jacobson, may eventually become
an American citizen. 1t seems the
only way out of his predicament.
Jon, who is Is years old, was left in
Roumania with his sister several
years ago when his family came to
America. The sister was killed by
the Germans during the war, Jon
says, and he was sent out by one of
the relief commissions to France,
where he became regiment mascot.
When the American troops came
home from France, he was left be-
hind. About two months ago, he
reached Giberalter as a stowaway and
interested the American Consul to the
extent of getting a passport for this
country. He lost it, and hid aboard
freighter, finally reaching New
York. His deportation is ordered be-
cause he has no passport. But he
won't be allowed to land, says Cap
tain Nicholson, even though he takes
him back to the port from where his
confused journey was started. The
Captain suggests that if the boy re-
mains on board under the American
flag for the next five years and a half
he will be entitled to enter this coun-
try and become a citizen.
A much disappointed ticket specu-
lator thinks that the police are eX-
ceedingly unfair and quite outside
their rights in arresting him. There
is law prohibiting anyone from spe-
culating on the sidewalk or shouting
his wares from a doorway, So this
