Mrs. Van Wrinkle came to Wash

taken up and promoted by the late
Major Pullman, one of the great

on one occasion when the woman
chief and two of her trusted flap

the house set upon them with a

BEWARE FAKE JOBS
AT MUSCLE SHOALS

Washington. D. c., March 30
Large numbers of persons have
been made victims of fraudulent ad-
vertising for labor in connection
with the Muscle Shoals project near
Florence, Ala, it is said in a state
ment issued today by the United
States civil service commission 1t
is stated by the commission that
there has been brought to it's atten-
ton recent advertising throughout
the country in which persons out of
work have been promised positions
at the Muscle Shoals projects, con-
ditioned upon their paying a regis
tration fee of 81 each. 1t is said
that large numbers of unemployed
men have responded, paying the re-
quired registration fee and receiv-
ing nothing in return. 1t is under
stood that the matter is to be pre-
scented to the department of justice
for investigation and possible prose
cution.
The civil service commission
warns the public against the pay
ing of money in the hope of secur-
ing employment at Muscle Shoals.

afraid to look at any pretty girl on
the street, especially a girl who
seemed half to invite their attention.
Ware the flapper cop" they told
themselves. Mrs. Van Wrinkle has
devoted herself recently to the more
serious side of police work. She
came into the local police depart
ment during the war, at time
when the capitol was over-crowded
with young war workers. She made
it her first business to try to pro-
tect these girls. At first many mis-
takes were made. Innocent girls
were taken to headquarters and put
through a third degree" examina-
ton as to their morals. Some of
the girls protested and bitter
newspaper campaign against the
woman's bureau was inaugurate1.
Arrested Noted Diplomat.
The first real sensation created
by Mrs. Van Wrinkle, however, was
when she arrested r. S. Reynolds
Hit of Chicago, former diplomat
and well known society man, for
pulling out a pocket flask at lunch
con at the next table. This incident
caused a furore in Washington So
ciety and Mrs Van Wrinkle immed-
lately became a decided factor il
the community life of the capitol.
Since that time Mrs. Van Wrinkle
has kept pretty close tab on some
of the social affairs of Washing
ton. She has known CT all the "jcl-
ly parties where bootleg liquor
has flowed in abundance. She has
known the exact amounts of liquor
which have been imported by some
of the legations of the lesser coun-
tries and she knows pretty definite
ly where some of the liquor has
gone. Mrs. Van Wrinkle has known
of gay young" parties which have
kept up until the wee sma' hours
of the morning and of the folly"
girls who attended. She has not
made much of a fuss about these
affairs lately and that is why some
people are worried. They feel she
has been biding her time and sto--
ing up ammunition against those
who have been trying to rid the
police department of her influence.
The direct charges against Mrs.
Van Wrinkle have grown out of a

CHlNA's WALL IS cRUMBLlNG
Wonderful Structure, Built 200 3. c.,
Believed, However, to BE Good
for Many Centuries.

Recent visitors to the great wall OF
China. which Is accessible at Nankow,
forty miles from Picking. describe 1t as
slowly crumbling. Many of the tur-
rets which command its salient points
as the wall climbs over the mountain
tops are in ruins and tourists and ma
tives alike wrench the stone blocks
from the superstructure to throw into
the valleys below. Yet 1t is maintained
that the great structure, extending
from Shanhaikuan on the sea almost
to the borders of Tibet, has many CEN
turtles to live, although no efforts are
made to preserve 1t.
Construction of the wall was be-
gun 200 B. G. by Emperor Chin Huang-
ii, contemporary Of Hannibal, who
conceived this barrier to keep out the
Tartars. At one time 100000 Grim
inals and prisoners Of war were en-
gagged in the work. The main part or
the wall, however. was not undertaken
until the Seventh century, when, 1t Is
said, 100000 workers were employed.

but 1t Just happened that the perfumer
was charged to dispense an aroma
tinged with forest cedar.
The machine has possibilities, the
sheriff believes. 1t might be employed
to awaken the prisoners each morning
with scents of yielets and soothe them
at breakfast with odors of ham. eggs,
corn fritters, grapefruit and other
viands not on the regular morning
menu of coffee and BUTTERFLIES bread.
Oh. yes, indeed, the machine has pos
sibilities. At night 1t could discharge
the odor of pineapple or figs or dates,
and any prisoner with good sense
of smell and a strong Imagination
could readily go to sleep and feel that
he was In Hawaii.

trial.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

In all cases probably one Of the men
is a fraction in front Of the other, but
the eye is unable to note such minute
differences.
Now q clock is to be erected at the
winning post. and as the winners come
in they will be photographed with a
kinema-camera, which will time their
arrival to the hundredth part of a Sec
ond. If the winner breaks the tape
only one eighth Of an inch in front
Of his nearest competitor the camera
will note the fact.
The camera will be focused stimuli
taneously on the clock at the winning
post and on a mirror rejecting the
start Of the race. Both clock and
camera will be set working before the
starter fires his pistol, and the fash
of the pistol will be reflected in the
mirror and recorded on the film with
the time Of tho clock to hundredth
Of second.
This time can then be subtracted
from the time Of the finish, and the
exact time OF the race for each man
arrived at.
There will now be very few dead

Ayres has made a miniature lOcomo-

can be operated under its own power
by the use Of compressed air. The
iron was not heated in the making. but
was worked cold. A small coal tender
and passenger coach were made at the

little more than six feet III length and
weighs ITO pounds. More than 1900
