LOOK WELL TO YOUR OWN FAMILY BEFORE
CENSURING THAT OF ANOTHER.

Why not give due credit the person who, starting in
life under handicap because of family connections, lifts
himself herself up to position of honor and trust.
When that does do something praseworthy, why
do always mention that his her mother father
So and So.
As matter Of fact the who has lifted himself
above his family level deserving Of praise
person who had everything to make in life
make it favorable and agreeable
Before another because Of what his relative
did, think back little in your family.
There is member of it who what he or she
should have been.
Every family has black sheep in one generation or
another.
It may have been long ago that you almost for
gotten but it is there
But it does not change the at all that present
generation is so highly respectable and respected.
When you get the mote out of your eye there will
be no time to criticise the other fellow.

HOW DARING SEA CAPTAIN
ROUTED DOPE GANG

Kriebohm went on. Arriving at
the new meeting place, Captain
Kriebohm was conducted through
q long, narrow alleyWay to q room,
the door Of which was opened after
a signal had been given by the
guide. In the room were four
men, one OF whom the captain
recognized as q man wanted Tor
murder. This individual stepped
forward and stated that he was
prepared to sell more than the
eight pounds il It were wanted.
Captain Kriebohm pretended to
agree that he wanted more and
started dickering about the price
to gain time in the hope that the
police would be notified and brought
to the meeting place by the sailor.
The captain dickered and argued
for several minutes until the muir
derer began to get suspicious and
gave signal to the guide, who
had edged around in back of the
captain. The guide quickly seized
the captains arms from the back
as the others threw themselves on
him. Then followed q terrific
struggle which lasted for several
minutes and only ended when Cap
tain Kriebahm succeeded in getting
possession Of q revolver from one
OF his antagonists, with which he
quickly covered his aSsailants and
lined them up against the wall.
At this juncture there came a
crash as the front door was broken
down and the sailor and the tardy
police burst into the room. The
prisoners were taken in hand and
a careful search of the place re-
vealed several hundred pounds Of
heroin, cocaine, morphine and other
drugs. All of the prisoners were
recognized to be desperate crimi-
mails who had long been sought by
the police and the greatest credit
and thanks were given Captain
Kriebohm for his ingenuity and
fearlessness in breaking up u
clever and desperate drug ring.

HOW / PIECE
BATHING SUITS
| ORIGINATED

IN HOSE daring one-piece bath
ing suits which were caus-
ing some people so much
alarm at American resorts last
summer had their origin in Bel
GUM at the famous beach resort,
Ostend. This does not mean that
the Belgians are wicked; merely
that they had perfected system
of bathing which made for mod
esty instead OF audacity.
Ostend is a sort Of refined At
lantic City. It has q concrete
equivalent Of the Boardwalk,
which Is called the Digue.
The horde of cheap stores
which deface the Atlantic City
Boardwalk are ruled off, and the
space on the shore side OF the
Digue Is filled with rows Of beau.
tifuI hotels. AS the hotel dining
rooms are all on the ground floor
looking out on the Digue, all have
glass fronts; and as the wealth
Of Europe congregates there dur
ing August, to a pedestrian in the
evening the spectacle Is brilliant
in the extreme.
But 1t Is to her bathing wagons
that Ostend owes her reputation.
These are bath houses on wheels.
They are built single and double,
for one or two patrons, being
drawn up on the sand when you
rent them. You enter by q rear
door and as soon az you are
settled inside horse is httched
to the front end and the wagon
is hauled out into the surf. Then
It Is turned around and you may
step directly from your bath
house into water waist deep.
For this reason, the one-piece
swimming suits worn by men and
women alike were modest enough
in intention.
The Partisan and American
girls violated the intent Of the
bathing wagon. however, by step
ping into the deep water, and i'm
mediately running around the
cart and going up on the sand to
parade. This gave great umbrage
to the proper Belgian and Dutch
matrons, and to the English visi-
tors, coming from country
where mixed bathing was
frowned upon innovation and
where women still wore panta-
looms and long heavy skirts. So
far as is known California was
the first American section to per-
nit the Ostend bathing suit.

The international drug ring,
like the Hydra Of ancient legend,
has many heads. and It is due to
the intelligence and fearless cour-
age of Capt. Paul Kreibohm. in
command of the s. s. President
Arthur, OF the United States lines,
that one OF its many heads was
destroyed
While the President Arthur was
in port in Bremerhaven, Germany,
short time ago, Captain Krie-
bohm learned of plan to smuggle
quantity Of narcotics on board,
and he decided to not only frus-
trate this plan, but at the same
time catch the vendors and SNUG
g1ers red-handed and break up
the gang that has been constant
menace to all vessels docking at
Bremerhaven.
Calling one of his sailors, In
whom he had the utmost CONT
dence, the captain instructed him
to negotiate for the purchase Of j
quantity of cocaine. This sailor,
c.. r. Norman, 1ounged about the
water front until he was approach
ed by one of the drug rings agents,
who offered to sen him eight
pounds OF cocaine for 100000
marks. Norman agreed and mads
an appointment to cOhclude the
transaction the following night.
The sailor returned to the ship
and informed Captain Kriebohm,
who in turn notified the police.
The understanding was that the
police were to surround the inn
where they were to meet and Mt
the proper time break in and catch
the gang In the act Of selling the
drug.
On the appointed night. Captain
Kriebohm and Norman went to
the inn, where they were informed
that the place OF meeting had been
changed and To- follow the guide.
While the sailor awaited for the
arrival Of the police, Captain

~ on probably know how the
"hot-Water system" Of house
warming acts, and perhaps
you know why It heats the house.
In that case you have already In
mind the elements Of the answer
to your question.
The Gulf Stream Is kind OF
hot-Water system for distributing
heat in the Atlantic Ocean. Some
of the bordering lands Of that
ocean, like the rooms in the house
that are not furnished with radia-
tors, get the benefit Of the heated
currents passing near their shores,
and warming the air that flows
over them. This Is a sufficiently
correct description Of the fune-
ton OF the Gulf Stream to make
clear its relation to the climate
Of our Atlantic coast and Of the
northwestern coasts OF Europe.
AS to the details OF that reIa-
tionship meteorological geogra-
pliers, mariners and physicists are
not in accord, but think that
none of them would deny that the
Gulf Stream plays large part in
the general climatic conditions Of
the North Atlantic Ocean and its
adjacent continents.

The Gulf Stream, which Lieu
tenant Maury, in his great book
about it, called "a river in the
ocean, pours out Of the Gulf Of

The wind sets in motion broad

ocean surface, and this, when it
encounters the sloping northeast
shoulder Of South America, trends
northward and passes through the
sieve OF the Lesser Antilles Islands
into the Caribbean Sea. Being
constantly driven on from the east,
and gaining in depth as its area
becomes restricted, It is driven
through the Yucatan Channel into

PUGS HAVE A BIG SEASON IN RING

NEW YORK, July 20.-Whenever Tom Gibbons decides he has elevated the drama and the movies to d satis- factory plane of artistic merit by singing in vaudeville and staring the lens in the eye at Hollywood, he may nave some fights in New York.
 The Cromwell A. G. producing fighot spectacles at the Yankee stadium, wants Gibbons to fight Gene Tunney there for Genes Amer ican light heavyweight champion ship. A date will be o.fered late in August.
 Gillops prefers, however, to fight Mike McTigue for the world cham pionship of the light-heavy division. and that match may be arranged, as McTiguc has been unable 10 get matches since he returned from Dub lin after beating Bat Siki of Sene- gal.
 If Benny Leonard wins from Lew Tender next Monday night he will box Charlie White of Chicago, with the lightweight championship more for less exposed, in the third week of July. These probable matches and the likelihood of a Dempsey fight on l abor Day with either Harry Wills for Luis Angelo Firpo will make this summer the greatest in the matter of pugilistic excitement in the his tory of the business.
