ground from airplanes travelling at a
height of 5000 feet by the invention
Of Heer Kunzer of Switzerland, with
such success that Kunzer is con.

Pine Needles for Wool,

Chemically treated pine needles have
worked out in Germany as a. sub,
stitute for wool for certain purposes
very successfully. BY varying the
process a woolly product is obtained
that comes either in the shape of
fine sheet wadding or in soft fieeces
that are used to stuff hair mattresses.
The pine wool has fine, strong
fibers not unlike hemp, and finds it's
best use when woven into heavy
materials. such as carpets and horse
blankets. The new process has a. val.

when the family migrated to Cincin-
natl IL years ago, to have his head
turned by the easy manner in which
under the tutelage of the criminals
with whom he had cast his lot, he
stripped" an automobile first
job. The accessories and tires did not
bring much return financially, but to
the mind of the mountain youth, to
whom dollar was almost fortune,
it was big money: And getting it was
so easy.
Again and again the gang essayed
similar jobs successfully, until the
small return began to pail on Anglican.
Big, raw-boned mountaineer with
muscles hardened by hardship he Wis
Toned real money in a bigger field,
leaving the auto jobs to the pikers.
1t was easy to induce his brother
John, two years his junior, to join him
in leadership of what became known
to the underworld as the Anglican
gang, the existence of which, strange
to say, was unknown to the authori-
ties until keen-eyed patrolman, fol-
lowing slender clew, brought about
the arrest of one of the gang, which
proved the opening wedge in tearing
apart the well-onstructed alibis and
revealed the gruesome tale of theft
assault and murder.
With the elder Anglican, now twen-
ty-ine, confessed murdered awaiting
only jury to decide whether death
or life without hope of pardon should
be the penalty exacted; his brothers
John and George, the latter only six
teen years old, confessed participa-
tion with Bill, and Cecil Bennett and
Gordon Lawrence, other members of
the gang in Jail pending trial, the
wheels of justice began to move swift
ly.
One by one the remaining Angilans
were disposed of, Franklin, twenty,
going to Atlanta for automobile steal
ing; Ted, seventeen, to Mansfield re-
formatory for a similar crime, the
father in Jail on a drunkenness and
neglect charge, and Ernest, the baby
and the lone male Angilon as yet ap-
parently unstained by crime, order
ed to the children's home by the court
in the hope of saving him. Followed
the quick conviction of Bill with life
sentence with pardon barred; life for
John Anglican and Bennett, and the
reformatory and later the penitenti-
airy for George Anglican and Lawrence,
minors.
Through the maze of crime and in
trigue surrounding the Angilans there
stalks the vision of two sisters, who
in reality are the chief sufferers as
the result of paternal neglect and illit-
eracy of the mountains that sent their
brothers into the world potential
criminals. The Anglican sisters took
the road directly opposite to that se~
lected by their brothers and today are
married happily.
