AGED FATHER Of
40 GIVES
ADVICE
FRomuIu DeIsi Tells His Rules
For Keeping Strong
and Youthful.
By COsmOpOlltan News Service.

SANTA ANA, Calf, July ~
Romulu Delsi, lightweight years
old, father of forty-five children to-
day at his home at Stanton, near
here, revealed for the first time
the secrets of his longevity and
physical prowess. AS he talked,
his last born, ten-day-old chubby
infant, kicked and squealed in her
mothers encircling arms,
The veteran Mexican father said
he believed that right thoughts,
clean living, fresh air, little sleep
and medicine of herbs, which he
sleeps in a kettle on the kitchen
range, were Jointly responsible for
his good health.
II sleep little" he said. Maybe
go to bed at 1870 in the morning
and get up at 3. Then 1 go out
and breathe the sea breeze. It's
fine from 3 till the sun rises.
My medicine-it grows all
around. It's as free as air. Makes
men strong. Cures what ails me.
Good for kids. too"
But the big factor in attaining
health and years of life, said Delsi,
is thought.
"a man is only as old as he is
here" the aged Mexican said, tap
ping his forehead significantly.
And men must live Clean" he
added, in conclusion of the prescrip-
ton, which he says has enabled him
to escape as yet the inevitable
stroke of the grim reaper.
Delsi'S Oldest son is siXty-one, he
declares. This man is living in
Mexico. Other descendants of Delsi
are scattered throughout Mexico
and California. Many are employed
in the vicinity of Santa Ana and
Stanton, their birthplace.
Mrs. Delsi is thirty. She is the
veteran fathers fourth wife, he
said. Numerous younger Delsi chill
dren fnhabit the home at Santa Ana.
To all appearance Delsi is a man
of fifty-five. He is plump and
rotund. His moustache and his
hair are sprinkled with grey, but
retain mostly the natural glossy
black of the Latin-American.

Atlanta Man, Crazed by JeaI-

ATLANTA, Ga, July 27-City
police and detectives were today
securing every nook and corner OF
Atlanta for Sam Sims who last
night shot and seriously wounded
D. D. Phillips, thereby bringing to
light another love triangle. Ac.
cording to police and the wounded
man, Sims is married to the woman
in the case.
Philips was called to the side.
walk from a local factory and with
out warning was shot three times
by the woman's husband, he says,
who escaped through the crowd
which quickly assembled. Two of
the bullets entered Phillips breast,
while the other imbedded itself in
his right side.
II have no idea why he shot
me-" Phillips told officers. II used
to go with his wife before they
married, but that was more than
a year ago"
Phillips and Mrs. Sims both
stoutly denied that they had asso-
ciated since the wedding. The wife
laid the shooting to uncomfortable
and unjustifiable jealousy" She
said they could never get along and
were not living together at the time
Of the shooting.
Mrs. Sims disappeared shortly
after talking with officers and eff
forts to locate her today have
proved futile. 1t was believed by
authorities that she left, fearing
her husband would harm her.

GERMANY GAINS
IN SHIPPING
REVENUE
Receipts Now Two-fifths Of
Pre-War Period, Institute
of Economics Says.
BY International News Service.


OF the sources of revenue which
poured into Germany before the
war, totaling about $400, 100000 in
1913, only shipping has yielded any
considerable sum since the arms
tice, the Institute of Economics an
nounced today in a preliminary re-
port founded on an investigation
of Germany's capacity to pay
reparations.
Increase in the shipping income
since 1919 the institute attributed
largely to government aid, for
which purpose $50 .000, 600, 900 Of pa
per marks, or about $4,000, 900, has
been expended. Germany's shipping,
though nearly obliterated by seiz-
ures in enemy ports and by forced
transfers to the allies in 1920
under terms of the armistice and
the treaty, has recovered to about
two-fifths Of pre-war tonnage. the
report stated.
The shipping income in Germanys
international accounts was about
SS6, 900, according to the latest
available figures.
While the recovery in shipping
has featured Germany's postwar
industrial efforts, this does not
mean," the report pointed out, that
she will continue to gain at the
rate she has during the past two
years. Competition today is more
severe than it was before the war.
owing to the fact that several
European countries have increased
their shipping facilities and. that
the United States carries a larger
percentage of American trade than
before.
Ocean freight rates, moreover,
are back at pre- war levels, while
the volume Of traffic cannot be ex-
pected to reach pre-war levels for
some time.
THE institute thinks that annual
receipts of about 100000 are all
Germany can hope to earn"

Red-Headed Beauty Hunted in
Mysterious Killing of Two
Policemen.

NEW YORK, July PA fash
ionably gowned, titian-haired woman
of striking beauty today held the
secret of New York's latest mys-
terry murder-the killing of Patrol
man Charles Reynolds and Frank
Romanello.
Reynolds and Romanello heard
the cry of murder, murder! police"
at midnight as a yellow taxicab,
travelling at breakneck speed dashed
onto the long Queensborough bridge
connecting Manhattan and Long
Island. Communicating a passing
motor car, driven by a woman, the
two officers gave chase. They over
took the speeding taxi half a mile
away.
n Frank Sussman, another officer,
ran to the scene.
TITS all right-we don't need
help" Reynolds and Romanello told
Sussman. Sussman then heard the
two officers command the taxi
driver to proceed to the police
station.
Die Without a Word.
Inside the cab I noticed a red
hevelled and her clothing appeared
disarranged," Sussman said. There
was man in the back seat Of the
taxi with her but I didn't get a
good look at him before the car
drove away"
A block from where Sussman saw
the cab either the man, the woman,
or both, in the back seat, opened
fire on the two officers who were
standing on the running board,
One shot struck Reynolds in the
back. Another penetrated Roman
ello's left lung.
Reynolds succeeded in firing three
shots at the fleeing taxicab before
he lost consciousness. Both police
men died without being able to give
an explanation.
Fear for Her Safety.
Today authorities found an aban-
doned yellow taxi several miles
from the scene of the killing. The
driver of the cab, ordered to halt
by a patrOlman, disregarded the
command and, dashed away, jump
ing from his car three blocks dis
tant and disappearing.
Every available detective in
Greater New York was ordered on
the case. All efforts were being
centered on finding the woman, as
police believe, through her, they
will be able to solve the mystery.
Grave fear was felt for her safety
however.
If the man in the cab was
desperate enough to kill two police
men rather than face arrest he
would not hesitate to kill the wo-
man, too" Inspector Thomas Kelly
said.

ders must be concealed during
business hours, and not in trans

"Al women employees are re-

excessive amount of makeup. The
management feels strongly in the
after and dismissals will follow
In cases where the request is not

1t resulted in several hundred
girls hurrying out to buy sleeve
caps or in draping scarfs about
their arms!
There is a general crusade against
sleeveless frocks and slit sleeves.
Girl employees of a mail-order house
appeared once with sleeveless
frocks, but they do not do so now,
Miss Laura Haines, head of the
firms welfare department, said.
Miss Frances Sinclair, of another
large store, said: "Our rules say
that 'bat-wing'-that's sthe sleeve
that covers the upper arm, but
leaves the arm exposed when 1t is
raised-and slit sleeves are not
allowed.
Lace or net sleeves are permits
sible when lined with sheer mater

impart a dignified, business-like air.

of business efficiency. %
