Firemen Rip Up Walk
to Free Trapped Girl

Cleveland, Ohio. - Firemen and
neighbors fought for nearly an hour
to release a yellow-haired girl Of three
from a drain pipe in which she became
trapped while at play.
Axes and picks tore up a cement
sidewalk and broke into the clay
drain pipe to free the child.
Just before supper Eleanor Banas
was playing with her sister, Helen,
eight, and some other children in a
neighbours yard. Near the back cor
ner of the house the drain pipe from
the roof had been broken off at the
sidewalk. Eleanor was toddling along
the walk when she stepped into the
drain up to her hip. Immediately she
set up wall
Neighbors came running. Men go
ing home from work tried to help,
but the shoe had been caught below
the surface. Someone called the fire
department.
Battalion Chief James Flynn showed
her shiny things and got down on his
knees to quiet her Her wall sub
sided to only whimper.

San Francisco.-Pr Private William
Jensen, medical corps, U. S. A., and
stationed at the Preside here, was
scheduled to appear before minister
to wed Miss Helen Hoeing. But all
wedding plans temporarily were sus-
pended when Jensen appeared in the

charge of having burglarized the
home Of his prospective mother and
father-in-law the night before.
Jensen confessed that after taking
his fiancee and her parents to a thea
ter he had escorted his guests home
and later had returned and stolen
some jewelry and an overcoat be-
longing to a brother of his fiancee.
He called at his fiancee's home with
part of the stolen articles. He told

WEEDS Girl Who Found :
$500 Purse He Lost

New York.-Andrew Ragone mar
ried an honest and modest girl. Her
name before the ceremony at the
Roman Catholic church was Miss Rose
DiConco.
Three years ago Ragone set out
from his restaurant in Spring street
for the Chatham and Phenix bank on
Broadway, carrying a wallet contain
ing $500 to deposit When he reached
the bank the wallet was gone.
With little hope that so much ready
cash would be returned he advertised
in newspapers, offering reward for
its return. The next day girl called
at his restaurant. 1t was Miss Di-
CONGO. She had found the wallet.
Ragone produced the promised re-
ward of $500 and offered it to her She
refused to take it. She agreed, how
ever, to go to dinner with him. Friend

to love.

and pulls the chain of his flash pan,
he discharges only a pinch or two of
iashlight powder. But when Lieut..
George w. Goddard, army aviator,
takes fashlfght Of city he ex-
plodes bombs measuring as much as
ten feet in length and Weighing as
much as fifty pounds.
The defamation is so great that 1t
is not a few frightened girls who
jump and blink but a whole city that
is shaking and hundreds of thousands
of eyes that are temporarily blinded
Several night photographs from
airplanes have been taken of Dayton
and of Rochester, N. Y. Soon all of
the nations greatest cities are to be
snapped" as gigantic bombs are re-
leased over them with their warlike
crash and rumble.
High Explosives Used.
The bombs are innocent looking af-
fairs. resembling bolts of goods in
department store, but under the folds
of cloth are separate compartments
loaded with special high explosive
powders concocted to give a quick
brilliant light Each of the compart
ments is connected to an electric fuse
which explodes them all simultane-
ously.
The bombs are carried under the
fuselage of the airship and are
dropped by the working of lever as
the plane reaches the designated
point. There is first discernible
stream of sparks as the fuse burns
and six seconds later comes the flare.
So efficiently are the bombs con-
structed and so accurately timed,
that, although of such large proper
tions, they are exploded completely in
as brief a space Of time as one-f1f-
teenth of a second. SO complete is
the explosion that there is no after.
glow
Too Quick for Human Eye.
Never has the minutest bit of the
bombs covering been found after
ward The flash is so quick that al
though persons on the ground see
the illumination it causes, they do
not actually see the fare itself It
is too quick for the human eye.
In Dayton and Rochester photogra-
pliers also were stationed at various
points on the ground in spires and
on tall buildings to take panoramas Of
the surrounding county by the light
of the bursting bomb. Some OF these
pictures have been exceptionally clear
and have approximated daylight pho
tographic work. The Photographic
plates are usually exposed when the
warning trail of sparks is seen and
are left exposed untfl after the flare.
The shutters on che cameras car
ried by the planes IN the test flights
are usually four times as fast as
those on the average commercial cam
era. Some of these cameras are be
tween four and five feet long with 49,
inch lenses, measuring nine inches In
diameter. They take photographs
measuring nine by twenty-three inches.
The usual height az which these pic.
lures are taken is 5000 feet.

UP WAR FRAUDS
Ten Millions Collected in
Three Years.


Washington-Ma millions of dol
lars are involved In war fraud cases
still pending before the Department
of Justice. The war transactions sec
ton Of the department, organized in
1928 to prosecute war frauds, has been
disbanded, and the work will be com
pleted by other branches of the gov
eminent Cleaning up war frauds
will have cost the government $1,000,
600 when 1t is completed
The war transaction section since
its organization has handled no
cases. It has collected $10,912,871
and further payments totaling more
than 100000 are due during the pres
ent fiscal year. Judgments now on
appeal before the courts total more
than 100000. About $50 cases are
yet to be handled.
OF the TO cases handled by the sec
ton, 4O1 have been definitely closed
since July, 1924. OF these is cases
have been paid in full, At comprO-
missed, 81 closed as uncollectable, SO
dismissed, 1913 transferred to other
agencies, AZ ordered audited, 4 paid
in part, and - closed for miscellane-
Gus reasons.
1t is expected that at least 80 more
cases will be closed before the end of
the present fiscal year, June 80. It is
likely that by the same time so more
will be ready to be transferred to
federal district attorneys for prose
cution. About $50 more have been
investigated and placed In suspended
status pending decisions III test cases
now in the courts.

Henrietta is inclined to think she

FORECASTER BRINGS
HAPPINESS BY DATA
Weather Man Gets All Sorts
of Inquiries.

New York. Please" asked the
timid voice of a girl over the te1e-
phone, "can you tell me whether June
II will be fair?"
James H. Scarf, New York's vet
eran weather man, glanced at maps
and records on his desk and pondered
moment.
why, that's your wedding day
isn't it"
yes" the voice faltered in surprise.
Yes, but how did you know
"Oh, | just surmised. can tell you
only this about the weather: you will
always remember June II as the
brightest day Of your life"
This call came to the weather man
exactly a hundred and seventeen days
before June IL. 1t was impossible to
forecast accurately what the weather
on that date would be. Here is his
reason for the answer he gave:
One Day to Worry-lf 1t Rained
Our greatest enjoyment in life
usually comes in anticipation. If l
had told her it would be cloudy and
rainy on June IL, she would have ex-
perienced III days of worry. But with
what told her she had lit days of
delightful anticipation.
Il figured that If it rained on June
II, there would be only one day of
worry and that she hardly would no.
tice the rain anyway in the excite
ment and joy of getting married"
Brides-to-be are among the 1900
persons who daily call the weather
bureau for information. On some
days the office operator lists as many
as 1000 busy calls
People planning picnics phone, the
tired clerk who wants to know which
week out of several will be best for
him to take his vacation; officials pre-
pairing for conventions call; managers
selecting opening nights for new
plays.
All Want information.
MtlIionaires who want to set sail
in yachts for distant points constant
ly are served by the bureau. Ships
at sea keep in close communication
with this and other Offices.
The ice cream manufacturer wants
to know the weather outlook for the
weekend. If Saturday and Sunday
are to be cool and rainy, he saves
money by cutting down on the output.
If clear and hot, he is ready for a
big business. He likewise calls, for
daily reports.
The weather man often is asked If
tire moon was shining on a certain
night months ago, whether the sun
was shining, whether it showed or
rained or what was the temperature
on such and such date.
This information mostly is in de-
mand for court trials of civil and
criminal cases. The weather record
plays an important part in many cases
and on some days Mr.. Scorr visits as
many as seven different courts.

Snakeskin Jackets
Now in Vogue in Paris

Paris. -Snakeskin spats and pocket
books and now snakeskin jackets
have made their appearance on the
Champs -Elysees and at the Long
champ races These startling reptilian
coats, which are weird enough to
make any serious drinker believe his
dreams of pink and blue snakes have
come true, are the length of jacket
and trimmed with fur at the neck
and the hem. They are patterned to
resemble the notified skin Of rat
tlesnake, usually toned to light brown
color. The snakeskin effect is pro
duced by glazing the material.

AS a result of the study of the in

$4, 500 Red Diamond
Found in Kimberley

London.-The rare find Of a
red diamond is reported from
Kimberley, South Africa. This,
species is very unusual and is
likely to fetch from $500 to $3.50
carat. When cut the result
will be a fiawless stone of about
six carats.
The gem at first glance might
be taken by the uninitiated to be
very large ruby, as X is an
entirely red stone without
blemish of any kind. Closer in
spection, however, reveals that
1t possesses all the requisite
properties of the true diamond.
