of his own calibre. Many of the boot
leggers aids are recruited from the
ranks of crookdom, and the rest are
equally handy with Egat."
Several months ago "highjackers'
held up feet CT three trucks loaded
with booze on a road not far from New
York City. The "highjackers" got "the
drop" on the bootleggers and the cap
ture therefore was made without a
struggle. When the highjackers drove
off the trucks and liquor, after strip
ping the drivers and guards, they
neglectedto take an automobile which
was part of the caravan.
The bootleggers sped away to near
by town, secured revolvers, and then
taking short cut, overlook the high
hackers" The bootleggers opened
fire, killed two Of the "highjackers"
and drove the rest into the woods
Then they calmly went through the
pockets of their victims, and removed
all valuables and drove away with
the recovered trucks and liquor.

"HIGHJACKERS" ROB
THE "BOOTLEGGERS

Washington, Dec. 15.-"Highlack-
ing" is almost as profitable as boot
logging.
The "highjacker" preys on the boot
logger. He operates on land and sea
and is the nightmare Of the bootleg
ger.
Travelling in gangs, heavily armed,
the "highjackers" infest the recognized
routes of bootleggers, robbing them
not only of their cargoes of contra
band, but usually stripping them down
to their shirts.
Most of the "highjackers" are ordi-
nary thugs, running greater risks
for great gains. Other recruits, partic-
ularly for holdup work on the seas,
are found among the ranks of young
err men who thrill to the pirates call
ing.
The water "highjackers" operate as
follows:
They employ small, fast vessels,
They lay in wait for oootlegging
craft bringing in load of liquor
When they spy such a ship, the high
hackers" pretend to be revenue agents
and give chase. The bootleggers throw
their cargo overheard, thinking they
will go back and fish in the casks ar
ter the revneur has been shaken on

But it is the "revenue" boat that hauls

But it is the revenue" boat that hauls
in the liquor. =,
Cargoes of contraband liquors worth
many thousands of dollars change
hands in that manner every week on
the Atlantic coast and on the Great
Lakes according to reports to Wash
ington by officers of the prohibition
navy" =,
Paving nothing for their liquors, but
selling them at the usual prices, the
"highiackers" are making money as
fast as some of those Texans with
million dollar oil gushers in their
backwards. Only the "highjackers
don't have to worry about income tax
eS.
The "booze pirates" are harder to
catch than the ordinary bootlegger be-
cause they pick up their cargoes in
mid-ocean or mid-lake and leave no
tracks out of port. And they are harder
to nut out of business for even If they
get in a tight place and have to part
with treasure of booze, they are out
nothing except their time and trouble.
A popular rumor among prohibl-
tion officials is that the leader OF one
of the most intrepid gangs is for
mer army aviator who won a medal for
bravery in France. The yarn is ne
stood peace as long as he could and fin
ally went into his present occupation
for excitement's sake.
The land "highjacker" is just plain
thug. In dealing with bootleggers he
knows he is dealing with desperadoes

ems, the Southern critics agreed on
more players for their first second
teams than the writers in any other
section of the country.
Bomar of Vanderbilt, Roberts of
Centre, Davis of Georgia Tech, Ku-
bale of Centre, Barron of Georgia
Tech and Shirley of Auburn won a
place on practically every first elev-
en- selected from the South.
Red Roberts of Centre was the
most shifted about player in South
land. Most critics placed at end,
others at guard and tackle, while
many believed he would do his best
work at fullback. Regardless of
where he was stationed every ex-
pert selected him.
Whelchel of Georgia, rated the
best guard in the South last year by
majority of the experts, suffered
from an injured shoulder all season
and never reached his form of last
year, say the Southern critics.

TO MAKE WAR
ON BABY TALK
Cincinnati School Aulhorit;cs Is
sue Special Appeal To Wo-
mems Clubs CT That CIV

An appeal has been made by the
school authorities of Cincinnati to the
mothers Of that city to enlist in war
against baby talk" and its effects on
their children, and a special speaker
has been appointed to carry this cause
to the mothers clubs.
While much of the talk with which
fond mothers beglfile their babies may
sound very foolish to others, it seems
to sound good to the baby. and while
the claim that it makes Sufferers and
causes other defects of speech may
have some truth in 1t, the ''baby task"
will bear comparison with much other
talk heard by children.
While good speech is important. the
matter is of more importance than the
manner-in fact, good matter naturally
tends to good matter in speech 1t is
at least quite as important that par
ents, fathers as well as mothers are
careful TO select the right subject mat
ter for talk before and to their chill
dren as that baby talk be eliminated.
Try, as they may, the teachers are
likely to have hard time anyway to
convince many mothers that baby talk
Is not the proper language in which
to address the baby, both as to sub
ject matter and method of speech

GERMAN MARK
KEY TO FINANCE
Swedish Expert Explains Neces-
sity For Stabilizing Currency
If Repa, aticns Are Paid

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 13-If France
breaks with Germany financial chaos
will follow, and the mark will drop
a almost any conceivable low rate"
said Professor Gustav Cassel, Swed-
ish expert in international finance,
and advisor to the League of Ma
tons, upon his recent return from
Berlin where he had been called by
the Germany government, together
with seven other financial experts
from the United States, England,
Holland and Russia.
Professor Cassel declares that un-
less present conditions in Europe are
altered, sterilization of the German
mark will be impossible. The ex-
perts were agreed on this. They rec
commended that the German govern
ment ask for moratorium of repara-
tons payments for at least two
years. If this request is granted,
sterilization will depend. principally
on Germany's production and on the
makeup Of the national budget. An
international loan to Germany would
not in itself solve the problem, he
says, but would have a tremendous
moral effect on the people
The commission of financial ex-
perts recommended, according to
Professor Cassel, that in case the
moratorium were granted, Germany
give the following guarantees: the
establishment of a Central foreign
exchange department" at the Riks-
bank, to be provided with some of the
Riksbank's gold reserve; the exepndi-
turc of this gold in the purchase of
paper marks; the limitation of the
floating debts, and the raising of the
discount rate the Riksbank. With.
the consent of the reparations COM
mission, an international financial
association should be invited to helm
in the work of sterilization. The re-
deeming of paper marks should be
limited to notes of the Riksbank,
chiefly foreign holdings. If marks
were priced at the rate of $500 to
the United States dollar, says Prof.

Ancient Fable That Is Probably the
Most interesting to Be Found in
Classic History.

the goddess of DiscOrd, was not in
vted to the marriage of ThetiS and
PeleuS, and. becoming enraged at her
exclusion, determined to break up the
festivities. Accordingly, she hap
pened by when the merrymaking was
at its height and tossed an apple into
the midst Of the gods and goddesses
who were assembled. The apple bore
the inscription. "To the fairest," and
was at once claimed by June, Venus
and Minerva.
Paris the son of King Priam of
Troy, was appointed judge to deter
mine who should receive the apple.
The three goddesses interviewed him
privately, each offering a bride;
Juno promised Il kingdom, Minerva
military glory, but Venus won him to
her side by promising that the most
beautiful woman in the world should
be his wife. He gave the prize TO
Venus. Unfortunately, the fairest liv
ing lady was Helen, already married
to King Menelaus of Sparta, but
Venus instructed Paris to go and get
her" He did so, and the indignation
following this abduction caused the
Greeks to coalesce and attack Troy,
bringing on the ten years Trojan
war
