Fast Reverse, Key

AS defense in basket ball is a
matter of each players keeping be-

the basket he is seeking to shoot,
there is no longer much opportu-
nifty of getting a man free on a cut

himself from his opponent by such

The Mcmillan filtration plant was
completed in 1904 at total cost of
$500. 900 and, until recent years, its
storage capacity of 100000 gallons
OF purified water was sufficient. Raw
water from the Potomac River is
brought from a point above Great
Falls through conduit, which passes

this basin it is pumped into the 20
sand filters which dot the green lawns
of the park. After seeping through
layers of sand, charcoal and other
purifying materials the water enters
another vast lake beneath the usual
appearing green lawns and protected
from conta mination by concrete

N-CASH|ER GLAD
TO END HIS EXILE
Man Wanted in Nebraska
Town on ENLIGHTENMENT
Charge Anxious to Return.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND August 13.-Jack NJ.
Patterson, once cashier of a bank ct
Union, Nebr.. and for three years re-
ported dead, waited impatiently in Il
cell at city Jail tonight for officers
from Union to return him there to
face charges of ENLIGHTENMENT.
Turned up here by trick Of fate,
he was arrested yesterday at gaso-
line filling station where he was
employed under the name of Frank
Smith. A tourist from his home town
recognized him and informed police.
Glad Exile Is at End.
Today he said he was glad the self
imposed exile was al all end and that
he would be glad to go back home,
although he dreaded the ordeal of
returning to the little town Of 900
persons, most Of whom were his per
sonal acquaintances.
Patterson had been cashier of the
bank Is years when. in 1924, he made
trip to Chicago with his wife and
children. He leit Union, he said, when
wave of crop price deflation had
periled many small banks in Ne
braska, and once away from the con-
slant dread that his own bank would
be next to fall, he did not have the
heart to return. He disappeared in
Chicago, leaving the impression that
he had drowned.
The charge of embezzlement, he
said, is unfounded, but he admitted
that he had made many loans that
proved bad when the corn crop failed
to bring a good return. Many of the
loans were without collateral, he eX-
planned. The town was small, and he
knew every man that borrowed from
him.
Insurance Payment Refused.

peared In Chicago he has not COM
municated with his wife. who has
made unsuccessful efforts TO collect
his S44,500 life insurance.
