Kidnapping episode several weeks ago. Scores of families, afraid of their own lives, moved out. Blackhand notes, anonymous tele- phone calls and mysterious threats which police said were the work of the Mafia-were received by Ranieri as police searched north ern Illinois for his small son.

CHICAGO. Jan. 5-An outbreak of terroristic violence attributed to the Americanized Mafia, the secret maneuvers of which date back to the middle ages in Sicily, has challenged the new cleanup" regime in Chicago's officialdom.
 The staying of a state witness in the first major trial conducted by John A. Swanson, states attor- ney-the Kidnapping case of To- year-old Billy Ranieri-was coupl- ed with series of death threats that sent police to protect every one connected with the trial
 Assassination threats were re- oeived by Samuel Hoffman, Swan sons assistant, who was assigned to demand the death penalty for Billy's alleged kidnapers. Hoff- mans wife and four children, ter ror-stricken, fled the city
 Billy Ranieri himself braved the blackhand letters to his father, A. Frank Ranieri, to tell the whole story of his abduction for $60,000 ransom to a crowded courtroom. The elder Ranieri, a wel-to-do Italian contractor, who at first he's itated to cooperate with the po- lice for fear of his own life at the hands of extortionists, also told his story-while his home was guarded by police.
 Following the staying of Ole Scully, alias Scalzetti, three other state witnesses were placed under guard in downtown hotels. Scully was slain shortly before he was to have appeared before Judge Robert E. Gentzel to tell of his knowledge Of the blackhand ter rorists reputedly connected with the boys abduction.
 Police, fearful of bombers' at tacks, guarded Jud g e Gentzel's home.
 Clean up without fear or favor" was Judge Swanson's pledge in his campaign for staue's attorney He called Scully's death a "chal- lenge to law and decency' and said it would be answered as such" Two weeks after he as- sumed office he was guarded by police as he made public address es. His own home was bombed shortly before the primaries last April.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 5.-Motor- ists who use the roads near In- dianapolis have recently witnessed the initial trials of a huge electro steam driven motor bus.
 Development of the bus still is in the experimental stages, but it's designer D. Mccall White, be- lieves it is destined to occupy an important place in the nations transportation systems.
 After seven months of labor one bus has been completed with a passenger car body B feet in length It is this machine that is now being subjected to road tests.
 The bus derives it's power from an eight-cylinder steam engine To- cated under the flood of the body
 Two boilers heated by fuel oil of the grade used in household heating appliances supply steam for the engine. The boilers are
 
 located near the rear of the bus.
 The amount of water injected into the boiler tubes is controlled automatically and fire which is forced down around the coils by an electric blower is extinguished when the flow of water ceases and is ignited again by a spark plug when the flow is resumed. Con- trols for the engine are located near the steering column.
 Two auxiliary motors, also oper- ated by steam, are placed near the front end of the bus and these operate generators for the batter ies and the air compression sys- tenn. The bus is equipped with air brakes and automatic doors, which are opened by air pressure.
 Associated with MT White in construction of the bus is George M. Dickson, former president of the National Motor Vehicle con- pany of this city, and W. J. Par rish, secretary of the Automotiye

25 MALAMUTES
 WANTED; BYRD
 MAKES REQUEST
R alph Lomen Starts His Search IF Northwest fer
 Expedition Dogs

SEATTLE, Jan. 5.-Search of the Pacific Northwest for 25 malamutes and a driver to join Commander Richard E. Byrd's South Pole Expedition has been started here by Ralph Lomen, as the dogs are wanted at Dunedin, New Zealand by February T.
 There is no time to send to Alaska or the Yukon Territory for trained dogs.
 The telegram from Byrd's New York Manager did not explain why the dogs are needed but it is assumed that probably bad water and successive changes of temperatures from the cold cline, across the torrid equator to the frozen south, thinned the canine ranks.
 The huskies will be taken by the steamer Eleanor Boiling from Dunedin to Great Barrier One where the party is making head quarers.
 Lomen hopes the owners of malamutes of Northern Idaho and British Columbia will offer to sell and he will be able to pick up the remainder of the dogs in Seattle.

Build Beauty Early in Life.

Sometimes I receive letters from
girls Of IL or Whereabouts who want
to know whether they are too young
to be thinking Of improving their per-
sonal appearance. Their elders try to
discourage them from being interested
in beauty problems for fear that the
youngsters will become too vain.
There are some beauty problems, how
ever, that must be solved in childhood
or early youth If solved at ell. Thought
full parents can save their children un-
told mental agony by having such de-
fects as bow-legs, hare-lip and crooked
teeth corrected before 1t is too late.
When the child herself begins to notice
her deficiencies, the best time for cor
rectsng them may have passed.
In recent years growing emphasis
has been put upon correction Of den-
tai irregularities. Aside from the
esthetic aspects of the question, 1t is
being realized that badly formed sets
of teeth are handicapped in their &C.
ton and through their failure to func-
ton properly may cause i'll health.
Dental science has developed ways
to correct teeth that protrude too much,
are crooked or too crowded. A dentist
told me recently that sometimes ir-
regularities in the second or permanent
teeth are due to their being crowded
by the first teeth that have remained
in too long. For this reason it is i'm
portant to have a childs first teeth
examined by dentist as they are be-
ing replaced by the second set.
What heart-aches are caused by bow
legs If treated early enough this
beauty problem can be solved, but after
the bones become hardened only the
most drastic measures will straighten
the limbs. 1t was about year ago,
/ think, that the country was shocked
to read of girl who wanted straight
legs so much that she submitted to a
surgical operation. Then her legs be-
came infected and had to be cut off.
How much better it would have been
If the girls parents had had the limbs
Strengthened without an operation while
she was child!
Another beauty problem that should
be solved early in life is hare-lip.
Thick, shapeless lips are sometimes
due to the habit of mouth breathing.
which In turn may be caused by OBJ
structions in the nasal passages. Minor
operations can correct these troubles
so that the beauty of the lips may not
be destroyed

The most difficult thing to reach is
woman's pocket. This is especially the
case if the dress is hung up in closet
and the man is in hurry. We think
we are safe in saying that he always is
in a hurry on such an occasion.
The owner of the dress is in the Sit
ting room serenely engrossed in book.
Having told him that the article which
he is in quest of is in her dress pocket
in the closet, she had discharged her
whole duty in the matter and can afford
to feel serene.
He goes at the task. On opening the
closet door and finding himself con-
fronted with number OF dresses, all
turned inside out and presenting most
formidable front, he haStens back. to
ask:
Which dress?"
Being told the brown one, and also
asked if she has SO many dresses that
there need be any great effort to find
the right one, he returns to the closet
with alacrity, and soon has his hands
on the brown dress.
It is inside out like the rest-a fact
he does not notice, however, until he
has made several Intellectual attempts
to get his hand into it. Then he turns
it around very carefully, and passes
over the pocket several times without
knowing it.
A nervous movement of his hands,
and an appearance of perspiration on
his forehead, are perceptible. He now
drives one hand in at the, back, and
feeling around, finds a place, and pro-
ceeds to explore it, when he discovers
that he is following up the inside OF
a lining.
The nervousness increases, also the
perspiration. He witches the dress on
the hook. and suddenly the pocket,
white, plump and exasperating, comes
to view. Then he signs the relief he
feels and is mentally grateful he did
not allow himself to use any offensive
expressions. 1t is all right now.
There is the pocket in plain view
not the inside but the outSide-and all
he has to do is to put his hand right
around in the inside and take out the
article. That is all. He can't help but
smile to think how near he was to get,
ting mad Then he puts his hand
around to the other side. He does not
feel the opening. He pushes a little
further-now he has got it; he shoves
the hand down, and is very much sur
prised to see it appear opposite his
knees.
He has made mistake. He tries
again; again he feels the entrance and
glides down it only to appear again as
before This makes him open his eyes
and straighten his face He feels of the

He does it calmly this time. because
hurrying only makes matters worse. He
holds up breadth after breadth, goes
over them again carefully, gets his
hand first into lining, then into the
air again (where it always surprises
him when it appears) and finally into
a pocket, and is about to cry out with
triumph, when he discovers that 1t is
the pocket to another dress. He is mad

Advantages Of Good Will
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

To forgive our enemies Is charming
form of revenge leaving our foes our
friends. To ruminate upon evils and to
make critical notes upon injuries Is to
add to our own tortures, to feather the
arrow of our enemies, to lash ourselves
and to resolve to sleep no more, for
injuries long dreamed upon at last take
away all rest.
So If one would have peaceful slum-
bers it i ESSENTIAL from physician
viewpoint that the thoughts be free
from unkindliness. AS sleep is essen
tial to good health, the necessity is
stressed for keeping ones thoughts free
from petty angers and above the idea
of revenge. Those who cannot help
dwelling on their miseries and personal
Sights must pay the price in sleepless
nights, unhappy days and finally in
aching bodies.
Fortunately the reverse of this phase
of thought is equally true. A kindly,
forgiving spirit promotes pleasant
dreams and good health. According to
the good old doctor, there is joy in
forgiving that is positive benefit.
Does he not say ITO forgive our enemies
is a charming form of revenge, leaving
our foes our friends? And he further
says:
If thou must have thy revenge on
thine enemy, heap Goals of fire on his
head, forgive him and enjoy it,"
These are not the, words CT an i'm
practical man, but of an eminent physi-
clan whose skill in restoring health to
the sick won him his knighthood and
made him successful and wealthy
man. 1t is quite evident that he was a
physician who took his own medicine
He followed his own advice. There is
not one person who reads what he
says who is not privileged to follow Sir
Thomas advice. To do SO means bet
ter health happier times and some
measure of other success.

Immediately does it.
Being somewhat relieved by this per-

him, and sees that he has put his foot
through a bandbox and into the crown
of his wife's bonnet; has broken the
brim of his Panama hat which was
hanging in the same closet; and torn
about a yard of bugle trimming from

and directly brings it forth with the
sought-for article in its clasp. He
