The Other Side of It.

Recently shrewd parent had her
son sign contract because she knew
1t would be invalid since he was mi
nor As most women know, only a per-
son having reached majority, or Il years
OF age, may be held to a contract. The
law In some States specifies other ages
but the one cited is generally the
standard.
In this particular case the mother In
dorsed the contract. It was for series
OF vaudeville performances The child
in question achieved some renpWn, and
the mother decided 1t was time to shed
the contract and hold up the manage
ment for more salary.
1t was pointed out to her that her
sons signature was only a formality.
She had Endorsed the contract, and as
the child's guardian was legally en-
powered to do So Therefore the con-
tract was binding and the son displayed
his talents for several weeks more at
the old salary.
We mention this not to prove how
justice is served, or how the other fell
low may be Just as cunning Rather to
illustrate the fact that scores of women
with Smattering of law knowledge go
beyond their depth, to their loss and
sorrow
Not many women seem to know, for
example, that perfectly safe-looking
lease may not be worth the paper it is
written on In one of our States, at
least, lease must go through three diff
ferent procedures before 1t is recognized
legally. Its last step is registration. Yet
upon inquiry not one housewife among
eight could definitely say that her lease
was registered.
How can this affect ones fortunes?
Well, here's how 1t did affect one wom-
ans Her husband Is a dentist and he
made his Office in his home or part of
It. His landlord announced a raise In
rent and informed the dentist that his
lease was valueless. The dentist found
that 1t was and had to incur heavy ex-
penses in moving. and setting up office
and home separately
Both of these instances are cited to
remind us that there are two sides at
least to everything. Your contract or
lease, or whatever 1t may be, often
seems perfect until its moment of trial

KIDNAPPERS

Billy Ranieri P oints Out Defendants in Trial
 for Their Lives

CHICAGO, Dec. 19-Billy Rani- eri, aged 10 years, proudly wear ing his first pair of long pants, took the stand in the Criminal Court here yesterday afternoon and calmly told the jury how he was held captive by kidnappers for 13 days last September and identi- fled two of the three defendants on trial for their lives. The identified defendants were Andrew Cappellano, owner of the farm on which Billy was held captive, and his son Tony, who guarded him there. Billy did not mention Ange- To Pettitti, third defendant, but his father, Frank Ranieri told about negotiations with Pettitti for $60,- 900 ransom.
 Billy Ranieri was entirely un- afraid in giving his testimony de- spite the fact that Ole Sealzetti, his fathers cousin and one of the principal witnesses for the State, had been shot to death Monday night in what the Prosecution de- scribed as an effort of the Mafia to instill fear into the hearts of the other state witnesses.

 Precious stones. silks. drugs and currency, preferably American dol lars. are the principal stock in trade of the smuggling fraternity All deals at the Russo-Polish from tier are made in American dollars, or. as in medieval times, goods are simply bartered Poles barter manufactured goods against Rus sian furs, which are also often paid for in diamonds. As all of these transactions have to be made in double quick time for fear of dis covery by frontier guards, most of the smugglers have little glasses marked to indicate the average value in diamonds.
 Thus. one quarter of the glass filled with diamonds is worth $10O.I half-filled glass, S200 Most of those stones are of poor quality and many of them are spurious. so the risk is always against the buyer, although sometimess it is said, they strike it remarkably lucky.

 A glance at the map of Poland shows almost unrivalled opportuni- ties for smuggling. To the north lies the small Danzig free city territory, where living is about twice as expensive as in Poland. Then there is the disputed 120- mile strip of territory along the Lithuanian demarcation line, where as there are no regular commercial relations between the two countries smuggling is rampant. and firing upon smugglers is often mistaken for clashes between Polish and Lithuanian frontier guards.
 In the east there are many loop holes in the 800 miles of wild for est swamp lands through which the Russo-Polish borderline runs. One gets more roubles for ten dollar bill outside than inside Rus

 Public sentiment in this country has changed radically in the last two years. There is distinct pro American feeling not only in government and business circles but among the people in general Anti-American agitation is unpop. ular and frequently meets with re- buke, as is evidenced by a recent incident in the Chamber of Depu- ties when a labor deputy spoke against the United States and was hissed and shouted down by the other members of the House.
