Of It, you are spared

The Chest is not near

Giving lags.
What would you have?
A chest half-filled means
a baby on full rations
half the year. Plenty
of time in which TO
starve to death before
we fill the Chest again!
Or it means a half-fed,
under nourished baby
the whole year round.
A half : filled Chest
means sorrow and de-
spair but half assuaged.
II m cans snatching
away the loaf before
hunger is satisfied. II
means old age, half-clad,
with thinning blood,

Half-measures are not

Better an empty Chest

cred. telephoned from Tia Juana that
a strict watch OF the border had been
organized. in charge OF Deputy Sher.

pected TO penetrate into Mexico. TO
learn what he could learn"
Blscailuz was expected to head for
Ensenada on a theory that the fugi-

have already crossed the border by
automobile.
Armour Phillips. husband of the
daring refugee. who evidently sent
officers on a false scent last night,
was held in technical custody. tho u
was stated his aIibi had not been
broken.
Phillips. who appeared at the sher.

he was implicated in the plot. was
subjected to n severe questioning.
and afterward Sheriff Treager. with

Criminal Deputy Al Manning and
Deputy Sheriff Frank Dewar. left in
two automobiles. presumably 10 fol.

The questioning Of Phillips
was secret, but Il was learned
that he had named certain per.
sons he thought might be- con-
nectcd with the case.
And these are the only persons
you know about who might have
had a part In it?" he was asked.

DYNAMITE EXPL0DES

Hundreds Of little lives in the In

school niraciously escaped death
when a dynamite blasting cap ex-
ploded In the hands of Lendo Dar-
rem, 10 years old, blowing the young
ster's left hand off and splintering
several fingers on his right hand
1t was during the recitation of a
geography class in the Washington
grade school shortly after 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon that the acci-
dent happened. Miss Martin. teacher
of the class, frightened at the ter
rife report, turned to see one of her
pupils hands mangled and hanging
loosely by his side. She hurried the
youngster to the office of the at
tending nurse. There the heavy flow
of blood was checked and DR.. C. c.

moned. After giving first aid treat
ment the doctor ordered the boy
taken to the Gary hospital, where
one of his hands was amputated last
night. The injured boy lives with
his parents at 1906 Hemlock street.

At the first report of the explos-
ion Principal Robinson was in the
room to offer assistance. He was
agast to find more than fifty of the
5-B grade children with these dyna-
mite caps in their possession. Some
children had gone so far as to chew

pins Luckily, however, none had
arrived at the point of exploding the
blasting caps that would have re-
suited in the same fate as their
playmate.
The tantalizing mystery as to
where the blasting caps were OBJ
tained has not as yet been solved.
Both school and police authorities
are Investigating the case. Accord
ing to the story of Metro Waino. who
admitted to have found a box OF
what he supposed to be tops for lead
pencils in an alley between Elm and
Fir streets of Indiana Harbor, after
seeing a colored boy plant them
there. He told the school authori-
ties that he had brought the box TO
school with him and proceeded 10
distribute the curious articles among
his friends. After the accident at

ed that nearly every child in the
lower grades of the Indiana Harbor
schools had one OF these explosive
caps.
After a thorough search Of each

believe that they have gathered In
what they think to be the last OF
these dangerous explosives.
Capt Makar, of the Indiana Har-
Dor police has been unable to pick
up any clue other than that the
blasting caps were the Lion brand.
