Christmas Was
Uneventful One
For City Police

The past Christmas was one Of the
most uneventful ever experienced in
local police circles, according to the
desk sergeant. ''One Of the quiet
est I haye ever experienced" is the
way some of the police explained it.
The total arrests of Saturday, Sun
day and Monday probably did not eX-
ceed fifty in number and these were
mostly for drunkenness and petty
disorders.
Not-~one serious offense, not one
robbery has been reported. Drunks
were exceedingly few in number as
were also games of chance.
Yesterday the principal arrests
were as follows: for drunkenness.
z for fighting. for gambling and
one for breaking traffic ordinances.
The only arresrt of Importance was
that of Francis Wullard, a negress,
who is char-ad with drunkenness,
disorderIy conduct, fighting and ours
ing. She, was arrested by Captain
Harper.
A total of s2s250 in fines. rang
ing from $40 to $3.50 for each often
er, was imposed in the city court
yesterday morning.

Lovely Holiday Ball
At Country Club

Pivaling other holiday affairs in its
lrilllance was the lovely dance at
Which the entertainment committee
Of the - -;untry Club were hosts at
the Cluu on last evening.
The spacious ball room of the Club
was suggestive Of the Yuletide. the
patriotic idea algC- being carried out.
SO effective were the decorations ar
ranged Iy Mrs. V. II. Ragsdale for
the officers ball on Friday evening,
that they were allowed to remain in
place for this affair. At the west
end was the large American flag, en-
tircly covering that part of the wall,
while on the two sides of the spacious
ball room navy bunting in red and
green. blue and yellow enhanced the
attractiveness of the remaining deco
rations. Above moss and holly in
partly shade the lights, causing them
to cast a subdued glow over the room
and the merry dancers as they kept
til - to the excellent music furnished
by O'Brien Motta's orchestra. As
further addition to this artistic scene
beautiful red berried holly wreath
ornamented each window, and a cher
ry fire burned in the open fire place.
In the adjoining living room the
large Colonial fire place also sent
out a cherry blaze to reflect on the
scores of Christmas frs in the orna-
ments suggestive of the frozen north.
"A hundred or more members Of the
club participated in this lovely hoIi-

Christmas Dinner

Tonight will be ladies' night with
the Rotary Club. A tempting Christ
mas dinner will be served at 1880
o'clock at the San Carlos Hotel and
all Rotarians and their wives and
sweethearts are expected to be pres
ent. Rotarian Frank Tappey has
prepared an irresistible menu and an
interesting program for this, the final
Rotary meeting of 1922. ~

Ed Malone attended the institution of
the Tallahassee Club last week and
are strong in their praise of the hos.
pftality extended them at that inspir-
ing event. Pensacola and Talla-
hassee are the only Rotary Clubs in
the Twenty Sixth District and each
is intending to outdistance the other
in activity.

tarians to pull together to make 1928
the greatest in the history of the club.

{ capture, the chances are she will he
turned up and identified sooner or
later, and brought back to face jus-
ltice.
! But in her favor. temporarily at
least, is the fact that at present We
have no treaty of extradition with
Mexico, as this government has no
official relationship with the present
government in Mexico.
Nicaragua would be another COM
paratively safe refuge, and has long
been a favorite place with escaped
criminals and fugitives.
In almost any European country
she probably would be identified.
Italy would offer the only compare
tive safety in Europe, as extradition
from that country always has been
difficult.
Extraction Difficult.
'My belief, however, is that she
headed straight into Mexico and is
there long before this. Locating her
there will not be the only difficulty.
Getting her back, in view of the lack
of extradition agreements. would be
complicated. And the opportunities
for safe hiding there are many.
ut is mighty seldom, however, that
an escaped convict finds permanent
safety. Once in a while man is
bagged after 10 or Is years. Re
captures after two or three years are
frequent. They are mighty few who,
after a few months or a year or two.
do not return to the states if not to
their old haunts.
IAN instance of how captures are
effected after long chases is that of
Schmidt and I<aplan. whom I arrest
ed three years after the blowing up
of the Los Angeles Times. One OF
them on Broadway, the other on
little island up near Tacoma. Wash.
All Services Help.
Another celebrated case was that
of the fellow wanted in connection
with the disappearance of a Mon
treal theater Owner-Small, l believe
his name was. A Burns operative
located him in a little town away up
in Oregon.
THE coordination established be-
tween federal, state, county and mu-
hicipaI authorities by the Federal
Bureau of Identification now makes
it virtually impossible for anyone so
to change or disguise themselves as
to escape Identification. Bertillon
measurements sometimes err.
physical characteristics covered
by those measurements change. But
fingerprints remain unchanged
throughout life and they will make
it possible to identify Mrs. Phillips
when she is located or ventures back
into the states again-whether next
year or 10 years from now"

Kindly Intentions Underneath
Our Manners Is What Counts
BY MARION HALE.
What has become Of our nannerSS
Everyone has asked the question.

What has become Of our naaAnerS4
Everyone has asked the question.
Piaywrights, ministers, noysliSt@
and teachers have answered IL inter-
estingly.
But it is Emily Post who speaks
with real authority.
She is author of the new Etiquette"
an imposing blue volume which 20
studied as deeply on Fifth Avenue as
on Main Street, the last word on what
to do and how to do it. on what not
TO do and how to avoid doing it.
Matter Of Ethics.
Instead Of worrying about man
ners," says Mrs. Post. we should
concern ourselves with the ethics
which prompt them. Manners are
only a surface indication of what's
underneath.
lit takes time to be polite,
gracious and thoughtful and who in
these days has any time? Old-fash-
ioned, slow paced elegance of man
ners went out with leisure and the
arts OF conversation and letter writ
ing.
But II. by our curt. direct gem
tcnces. We mean the same thing that
the Frenchman means by his polished
phrases. we have nothing to fear, be-
cause true politeness is merely one
persons intention toward another.
Not the Motor.
Etiquette Is the grace which lu-
bricates our social machine, but Il
must not he confused with the motor.
The social graces used to be ac-
quired in the fireslde group, where
parents handed on to their children
the family traditions and precepts
which were to become their standard
of living.
Now books on these subjects are
coming into being because father is
busy, mother NAV be dancing every
night and tile children seek excite
ment a they will.
Setting Own Standards.
Lit is not surprising that We find
this generation setting it's own stand
ards.
"Sclfishncss is natural to youth. but
il does not -beget beautiful manners.
when everyone wants to take and
none TO give, one may we'll face the
with apprehension.
''On tho other hand, it is unlikely
that hundreds of years Of cultivation

Speaks fer Boston.
Mrs. Post. both a writer and society
knows European as we'll as
American society. Asked what she
considers the most distinguished So
cial life in this country, she answered,
Boston
In the South" she added there
is more grace Of manner and gaiety.
and IN the west the sanctity Of the
home is of first Importance. New
York is accused of leading in laxity
OF conventions, but one should not
Judge by superficial appearances. 1t

dents who squander, spend and burn

Strange Monster
Cast Up By Sea

LIMA. Peru. Dec. 25-The tidal
waves which recently devasted parts
of the coast of Chile cast upon the
denizen Of the deep whose like has
not been seen in these waters in
many years. 1t would appear to be
a cross between a whale and a tur-
tie.
Fishermen at Lurin, 25 miles from
Lima, reported huge cetacean
floundering in the shallow waters of
the bay. Then they sent out word
1t was an unknown monster of the
sea, and that they had killed it.
The director of the Natural His
tory Museum of the University of
San Marcos and the official taxider-
mist made q trip to Lurin for the
purpose of studying and classifying
the strange visitor. They found an
animal with the body of whale but
with a head and eXtremities resemh-
ling those Of a turtle. After exam
ination they came to the conclusion
that it belonged to the family Of
'Balaenidae" cetaceanS, inhabiting
the South Pacific waters. 1t is sup
posed that it was carried along by
the Humboldt current and thrown up
on the beach by the tremendous surfs
following the tidal waves of the
Chilean earthquake
The specimen will be brought back
to Lima for mounting and will be
preserved in the University Mu-
scum.
