 TO ALIEN SMUGGLING
Those Trained in Rum Row of |. & Operating Between France
 and Italy

Naples. Italy, Feb. 14 R-Ameri- can bootleggers with training gain ed on New York's rum row, are be- Iieved by the police to have parti- cipated in the organization of an elaborate system, for smuggling anti fascists from Italy to France.
 The system was uncovered today by fascist militiamen who had sha- dowed the leaders for several months. The militiamen. after hold ing up the sailing of the French liner Theophile for five hours, cap tured nineteen anti-fascists, slowed away in a tiny cubbyhole in the bottom of the hold.
 They also arrested Maria Evan welst, young woman described as the leader Of the crowd; Cesare Sa- verese, her assistant. and five men, said to be returned bootleggers.
 The authorities declare a regular clandestine service, by which anti fascists have been able to evade the law prohibiting their exit from Italy has been going on for several months.
 They allege the various French vessels have carried refugees in their holds. each stowaway paying 500 lire to the sailors and 5000 lire to the organizers of the system, resi- dent in Naples and Marseilles.
 An elaborate method of bribery prevented the French police officials iron. stepping in. 1t is stated. The fascist militiamen nncovered' the system by working on the Naples docks as longshoremen.

British Mail Men Not So
 Rushed With Valentines

London, Feb. 14 Rl-Britain's s postmen rejoiced on this St. Valen- tines day. for the Saint was ban 'ished by the Anglican bishops from the new prayer book calendar. The postmen remember. but not fondly, the days when lovers hearts and darts were mailed in such numbers as to nearly break their backs.
 The bishops action came just as strenuous efforts were under way to bring the valentine custom back to the favor it enjoyed in the time of Charles II. The fashionable men of that sovereign's court gave jewels to the ladies of their choice on St. Val entine's day

STEAMER DESERTED
 STEAMING ONWARD
But Is Believed to Have Gone
 Down in English Channel

Folkestone, England. Feb. II LP- Captain Gjosund and the crew of the Norwegian coastwise steamer Raa are certain that their ships wild journey at full speed through the fog in the English channel. after they had abandoned her with her engines running, was brief and that she is now plunging ahead, a menace to channel shipping.
 The Raa was in a collision early Sunday morning with the Spanish steamer Gordejula. Struck arnldship. she was ripped so badly that the crew thought it impossible for her 10 remain afloat for any length of time. Therefore they hastily made away in the ships boats to the Gordejula.
 As they were rowing toward the Spanish steamer, they were surpr's- ed to see their vessel forging ahead; they remembered then that in their hurry to make for safety they had forgotten to stop the engine. The first thought of the sixteen men was Of a possible catastrophe should their ship crash into some passenger yes sel picking its way through the chan nel fog. Then they felt sad over the fact that the ships dog and cat were left aboard in the confusion.
 Probably Has Sunk
 Although it Is inst possible that the Raa is still aAoat. the seamen scout the idea, because they say the gap torn in the side was so great that she could only have remained afoat short time before being flooded
 Tugs sent out from Folkestone and Dover have found no trace of the steamer.
 The English channel was blanket cd in fog throughout the weekend. In addition to the Raa-Gordejula col lision, there were a number of other shipping accidents, but so far as re- ported there was no loss of life.

 F0R AN ADVENTURE
Still Another Student SnuifS Out
 Own Life

Davenport, Iowa, Feb. IA Pt-"To die will be a glorious adventure" /" wrote George w. Cannon, Jr., IA year-old high school student found dead in his gas-fllled room today.
 In a long letter he said: Tt is my belief that my spirit will some day enter into the body of a playwright and will call forth story of boy who loved to dream. the story of a boy who was SC disillusioned that he couldn't stand it any more. The play will make the man famous and yet will be my story, so my ambition will not be unfultilled.'
 Young Cannon was of literary turn of mind and an admirer of stage stars with whom he carried on an extensive correspondence, his fam fly said. He is a son of one of Davenport's leading families.

 That year the trade school then known as the trade education de- partment Of the high school, occu- pied the two lower floors of the vo- cational building of the Senior high school. It had faculty of 10 men and one woman and student en- rollment in day and night courses of 225. The present faculty is 2S men, two women and student en- rollment of more than TOO.
 MT. Hall had experience in train ing teachers of trade and industrial subjects and organizing apprentice departments in industry before con- ing to New Britain. He is the or ganizer of the seven teacher train- ing centers now operated by the state board of education
 Mir, Hall was graduated from Mechanics Arts high school in Bos- ton, and took up post graduate work as Franklin medalist. He also at tended Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He then took teacher training courses and vocational edu- cation administration courses.

 Today the Herald begins a series of biographies of instructors at the State Trade school. The series which began last December will be con- tinued through the trade, the two junior high schools, the junior high school shops, and the 15 elementary schools.
 Tn conducting it's work in the trade school with the cooperation of Director Hall and his office staff, the Herald has uncovered several inter esting facts about the school which grew lover night"
 It Is supported jointly by the city and the state, the city furnishing the heat. light, power and janitor service while the state dcfrays the cost of equipment, supplies, administration and instruction.
 According to statistics gathered by Mir. Hall, 92 per cent of the grad uates during the past IT years are now working along the line of en- deavor for which they received fundamental training in the school; 72 per cent of the boys attending not less than 35 weeks during the past eight years are now following the trade started in the schools. Twelve per cent of the graduates at tend higher institutions Of learning and 65 per cent earned high school diplomas as well as apprenticeship certifiaates.
 The school offers an actual ap- prenticeship in the carpentry, ma sorry, printing, machine, drafting and architectural drafting, electrical and machine trades.
