 They Claim to Be.

 One case described is that of a daughter of high official" who an- swered an advertisement in Vienna paper stating that an engineer in Chicago desired to wed a pretty Sdu- cated Viennese. In German the word engineer always means a profession al title and is never applied to me- chanics.
 When she arrived she found the man was a metal worker. He soon lost his job and the girls parents had to sacrifice even their household goods to send her money to return.
 Another instance is recited in which the advertisement contained he phrase "An American (dark) wishes to marry. etc. The pros pective groom was negro.
 Usually the advertisements de- scribe the man as earning so many million crowns month which the woman finds to mean virtually noth- ing in American standards.

Madame Curie Taking
 New Duties Seriously

PARIS, March 23.-Madame Curie, discovercr of radium, appears to be taking her duties as member of the Academy of Medicine very seriously. She was present when the Academy discussed reforms in secondary edu- cation and spoke in favor of shorter hours of study in high schools. The motion under discussion was to the effect that the time devoted to classes and home work should not exceed eight hours for the lower classes and nine for the higher.
 Madame Curie gave her opinion that eight hours was too long TOT the smaller children and the motion was therefore sent back to sub-commit- tee for reconsideration.

George Engdahl, young man
about 25 years of age living with his
brother, Ed. one and one-half miles
west of Rose Center, died last Fri
day evening from the effects of
swallowing carbolic acid and gun
shot wound in his adomen self in
filcted. . 4 NJ
The cause for the suicide is thought
to be dependency over a love affair.
The young man went to church
Friday evening, driving off alone in
the car after he had invited his broth
er to go along with him, and his
invitation had been declined. About
1915 Ed heard the Ford return to
the back yard. His brother, how
ever, did not come into the house.
Ed then went out doors to look for
his brother, and discovered the Ford
over in the corn field. He was Of
the opinion that there were others in
the party, and would not disturb
them, returning to the house. Short
ly after this, the hired man rushed
into the house and asked Ed if he
heard the two shots that had been
fired from the corn field apparently.
Upon investigation they found George
alone with life gone. His lips and
mouth were burned from the carbolic
acid, and one bullet had entered his
abdomen. The young mar had ap-
parently drank the carbolic acid first
and then fired the two shoes. the lat
of which had very likely gone
wild. The gun used was a 81 callbre
revolver.

this country about seven years COM

parents still live. He had been cor
sidered as somewhat unbal ,oCed of

BIG POSTAL ROBBERY
PLOT IS UNCOVERED
Inspector Grows "Bad Mans" Beard
and Gains Confidence of Notorious
New York Gang

New York.-A gigantic postoffice
holdup, surprising In spectacularity
and daring any of the recent registered
mail thefts of the Observation-Disclosures
class, would have been perpetrated at
the city hall postoffice but for the
keen work of a postoffice inspector
who grew a bad mans beard consort-
ed with the plotters, and uncovered
their scheme.
This was the statement of Postoffice
Inspector Doran in making public the
details of the arrest of seven men-six
of them present or past postoffice en-
ployes. He asserted that their cap
ture would clear up the registered mail
theft of July is, when 81 AIT, 900 In
liberty bonds bound for Washington
were stolen from the mail, would aid in
solving a heretofore undlsclosed theft
of $4,000 in securities addressed to
WATERFOWL, n. ", and might go far
toward clearing up the 100000 mail
truck holdup In Broadway last October.
Plans had been laid, and were to
have been carried out in the broad
daylight for the holdup and robbing of
the entire registered mall section of the
City Hall station, through which mil
lions in securities flow daily from the
Wall street financial zone, Inspector
Doran said. Orders had been issued
TO shoot any employee who resisted.
The plotters had visited the City
Hall station several times and made
n careful survey of the LAYOUT and
planned their raid in great detail. In
deed. Inspector Doran said, they had
gone to the station several weeks ago,
ready to pull. the holdup. but had
been deferred by the accidental pres
ence of several inspectors. which had
led them to fear their plot had been
discovered
1t was the imminence of the new
date for the holdup that sent police
and postoffice inspectors on a roundup
campaign.
The Inspector who uncovered the
plot with his bad man beard and his
plausible manner, was one of 16 in
spectors, 1t was said. who have been
working their way for weeks into the
confidence of the accused men-posing
as boastful fellow mail bandits.
Arraigned before United States COM
missioner Hitchcock the seven prison
ers were held in bail ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 each.
