YOUNG GIRL PASSES TEST
WHICH GROWN-UPS FAIL
Youthful Miss Finds Examination
Easy When Police Applicants
Make Failure.

WOLSTANTON, England (P).-A 13-
year-old girl here knows what every
policeman ought to know. AS an ex-
pertinent she was given general knowl-
edge police examination, passed 1t per-
fectly and said it was easy.
"I wish could get job by answer
ing a list of questions like the police
men have to-" she said.
But the would-be policemen didn't
think it was so easy, for only Is per
cent of those who took the examina-
ton passed it. Among the questions
were:
who was the tinker who wrote IA
nous book?
who was the Emperor who fiddled
while Rome burned?
Can you name any great religious
leader who lived at the same time?

JUGGLING RACE is HELD
BY WATERS IN PARIS
Run With Tray Containing Bottle
and Two Glasses for Goal
Mile and Half Away.

A waitN in Paris cafe must be not
only a Kan of infinite patience but
something of juggler. He must be
able to balance on one hand a. tray
supporting several bottles and numer-
Gus glasses and thread his way among
crowded tables without disaster.
A novel test of walters SKILL writes
the Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Telegraph, was held on be-
half of the Montmartre Walters Union.
The competitors, of whom there were
81, had to run from the Place Clichy
to the Rue Doudeauville, each carrying
upon one hand tray upon which were
perched a bottle and two glasses. For
the first time in years Parisians wit
messed the astonishing spectacle of cafe
walters in a hurry, and these walters
had to hurry for about mile and a
half.
Control stations were established at
various points en- route, and at sundry
of these walters retired from the race,
having broken either their bottles or
their glasses, but the winner reached
the finishing post with his bottle and
glasses intact and his tray neatly bal
anced on his left hand.

Robot Is Policeman
Who Clears Traffic
And Remains Mute
Mechanical Officer Ex-
hibited to Hoover Board.
Wisecracks Missing.

An inarticulate policeman who keeps
the traffic rolling despite his lack of
vocal equipment was examined yester-
day by members of the Hoover Highway
Research Board.
Being only robot and quite unable
to broadcast any wisecracks, the off,
Ger stood on table at the Powhatan
Hotel and meekly obeyed orders.
He wore steel vest instead Of a
blue coat and his nervous system con-
sisted of vehicle actuated" wires.
When the galvanized policeman is
set up on street corner he receives
electric impulses from detectors set in
the paving of the highway approaches
and relays them to traffic signals.
Thus several machines approaching
will hold the green light until the robot
is notified of traffic in the other street.
The system was described by o. v.
Kean, sales director of the manufac-
turers, as capable of clearing street
centerS with the least possible delay.
1t is flexible enough, Mr.. Kean said, to
be adapted to conditions at almost any
conceivable intersection.

AZORES TO BECOME
HAVEN FOR AVIATORS

TERCEIRA ISLAND, Azores (P.-
This green island of the Azores, which
a Portuguese government commission
of aviation experts has selected for the
site of modern airport. covers an area
of roughly 225 square miles. Unlike the
other eight small and rocky sister
islands which make up the Azores, Ter
ceira is fiat. 1t was singled out because
its wide open spaces lend themselves
ideally to the taking off or landing of
modern aircraft.
Pressure of public opinion and the
many airmen who lost their lives in
attempts to span the Atlantic from west
to east is responsible for the government
action.

INC|T|NG TO RIOT
IS CHARGED TO 49
Illinois Miners File AffidavitS
in Court Against
John L. Lewis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, December 13.-
The matter of mining coal in Illinois
today was a mixture of strike, legal
maneuvers aimed at President John L.
Lewis of the United Mine Workers of
America and measures by enforcement
officers to arrest strike leaders on
charges Of melting to riot.
Since the beginning of the strike Mon
day the National Miners Union, which
called it, has been successful chiefly in
Christian County, where picketing has
been concentrated. Their announced
plan to picket the Panther Creek mine
at Auburn yesterday was abandoned
when State highway policemen ap-
peared there to keep the highways clear,
Instead the union transferred its cam
paign to two mines at Pana, with the
result that miners there Endorsed the
strike.
District to Be Picketed.
The Belleville district, employing be-
tween 5000 and 5000 men, was marked
for picketing today. County enforce
ment officers said they would not inter-
ticipated no trouble. One of the strike
leaders, George Greenwood, was at
Belleville to direct the picketing, which
he said would be operative at all mines
in the district.
States Attorney Harry Grundy in
Franklin County obtained warrants
charging 40 sympathizers of the Ma
tional Miners Union with melting to
riot and rioting. Six men arrested last
night were released on bonds.
The Federal Government, through
Mark Costello, an arbitrator for the De-
partment of Labor, continued efforts to
bring peace. He engaged in a series OF
conferences last night with leaders of
the opposing groups
The cost of the strike in lost pay
checks for the first five days has been
estimated as something more than $40,-
000-a loss that must come out OF pay
envelopes that are the last to be re-
Ceived by the miners before Christmas.
The number of miners who have been
idle one day or more, including several
hundred who later returned to work,
has been placed at $685.. Most Of them
were in Franklin County.
Affidavits Are Filed.
The new move against the president
of the United Mine WorkerS-the union
group which does not recognize the
strike calI-was made here late yester-
day. More than 200 aff1davitS were filed
in District Court by officials of the IL
linoiS district of the u M. w. in sup
port of their contention that Lewis has
no right to the presidency he now holds.
The aff1davits made various charges, at
lacking Lewis good faith, Judgment,
management and integrity.
The first five days of the strike were
off n 10
troops were called out when Taylorville
officers feared trouble might develop.
There have been several instances of
''roughing" and the throwing of stones
by and at pickets, but these have been
isolated and of desultory nature.

Other Suits Recalled
Washington, June 3.-The right OF
Negroes of the "Aucient Egyptian
Arabic Order of Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine" to use the similar name and
the titles, emblems and regaha oil
the white Shriners was upheld TO-
day by the Supreme Court.
The opinion, handed down by Asso'
cfate Justice Vaudevanter, held that
the silence of white Shriners for
MANY years barred them from re-
straining the Negroes. The suit was
begun in 1918 in a Texas State court
bv Shriners in Houston against the
local temDle of tae Negro order.
Texas Supreme Court Reversed
The Texas Supreme Court granted
an injunction. In reversing the Judg"
ment Justice Vaudevanter said:
There is no evidence of traudu~
lent intent on the part of the Negro
order or of a purpose on its part to
induce any one, whether Mason or
non-Mason, to believe that it was tho
white order or that they were parts
of the same fraternity. On the con-
trary, it is shown that the Negro
Order always held itself out as en-
tire.y distinct from the white order,
and as open only to members of the
negro Masonic fraternity. True,
there was much imitation, but this is
shown to have been in the nature of
emulation rather than false pre-
tense"
Had Knowledge
Pointing OUT that 1T is established
that from the beginning the white
order had knowledge of the exist
euce and initiative acts and practices
of the Negro order" the opinion
says, the evidence individually shows
that with such knowledge the white
order silently stood by for many
years while the negro order was con-
tinuing it's initiative acts and prac~
tees, and was establishing new

WHITE LADIES TESTIFY

The case of Rose Leigh Anderson,
1909 North First Street, attracted
much attention. She was charged
with stealing a dress, valued at $40,
from the Kaufman Co.
No representative of the company
appeared and the case went over;
but two white ladies, for whom Rose
had worked, testified as to her good
character. One of them stated that
she had known her ever since she
was born. The one with whom she
stays now said that she was abso-
lutely honest, had no need to steal,
as she was saving and had money
when arrested. A white gentleman
who accompanied the ladies was
equally as positive. They told Judge
Haddon that they would return to
appear in her behalf at any time:
Their testimony created a profound
impression.
