sinking OF individual prediction
and the exercise of greater care.
The success of Walter Travis was
due to carefully placed shots that
went straight down the fairway and
to putting that was absolutely
deadly.
There is little doubt that If the
American amateurs are willing to sub

led to the belief the thieves ate

Such GOODNESS on the part Of the

and that probably they were picked
up at the gulf by a steamer en- route
to foreign shores.
ALAS! POOR BIRD
But, according to inside information
from one who previously made the
cruise from here to the gulf, here is
what might have happened.

river las the curves twist) at the
Southton dam, the largest of nearly
a dozen crossed in the escape.
Less than an hour after the Al
batross died, hundreds and hundreds
of water moccasins suddenly came up
out Of the shallow waters.
After beating off the reptiles with
all loose rigging and the cooking
Utensils, there was only one thing to
do. That was to feed the snakes the
loot.
Each time a Shiny creature poked
his head over the side of the boat,
$50 bill was thrust into its mouth.
Three hundred miles later. it is fig

Still the dead Albatross haunted
the bandits.

All were thrown into the water,
however, and the remaining S13S of
the loot was lost when the motor boat
struck a snag.
Then the gasoline gave out otter
the boat was turned upright.
Using their oars, the four thieves

An Air Mail Time-Saver.

Sir Alan Gotham. who has been
knighted by King George for his ex-
ploits in the air. is about to Visit
America and in order to do it in a
thoroughly novel way will fly the last
lap into New York. Sir Alan intends
to accomplish two things by this
unique entrance into the Land OF
opportunity" First he will relieve the
boredom Of the long ocean trip Tor
both his wife and himself, and second
he will demonstrate the possibility OF
time-saving for the mails. 1t is the
famous aviators theory that ten or
twelve hours could be cut from the
ELAPSED time of the transatlantic postal
service by placing small planes aboard
each ocean liner In readiness TO mop
off near the journeys end. and he
will put his theory into practice just
before he reaches America.
There is decided merit in the pro-
posal. Much more expensive means
have been employed already to save
lW0lVO llOui AN IAlO NeAAA AiS ~ VAN
mails. The scheme, if 1t Is ever put
into use. might at the start apply only
to special air mail. After it was taken
off the ship and flown to shore. ar
rangements could easily be made to
deliver it to points in the United
States by the present air service.
A logical working-out of such a
plan would provide for the mail car
rier to leave England or the continent
some hours after the liner. 1t would
be taken on board few hundred miles
out, to hop off again when near the
American shore. In this way mail
could be carried from England to San
Francisco in about six or seven days,
using. of course, the present air mail
land service.

almost unpunished because OF the lax.
ity and technicalities of the laws. In
New York it was realized that the
time had arrived for revision and
change that would no longer allow
this condition to continue.
Hence the enactment of the Baumes
statute, which deals with criminals as
criminals instead of permitting them
to fiout the laws of the land because
of their leniency. The complaint of
the judge in this case may, in some
degree. be justified, although from
the mans record it would appear that
he had only escaped serious charges
through good luck instead of fnclina-
ton; but there are few who will agree
with the court that any law that puts
criminals in prison where they belong
instead Of allowing them to roam free
on the streets is too drastic to suit
the harassed people of this country.
