New York.-Just across the way
from police headquarters is the annex
housing the police college, where
detectives and patrolmen are trained.
The college is for veterans, as well as
novices. In small groups uniformed
and plain clothes men are being
taken off duty and put through a
Hawkshaw course in the annex. They
are taught, for instance, the impor-
lance of examining every detail of the
scene Of crime. Relics of famous
crimes are kept there, not as curios
but as practical examples.
There is, for instance, a torn pull
man ticket issued from New York to
Syracuse. 1t was that ticket, more
than any one thing, that convicted
Judd Gray and Mrs. Snyder of the
murder Of Mrs. Snyder's husband.
After the killing Gray was suspected,
and traced to Syracuse. 1t was found
that he had an iron-clad alibi. Evil
dence pointed strongly to his presence
in that city at the time that the MUIR

are primarily for national defense and
not public utilities, it was pointed out.
The generation of electric power for
municipalities by navy ships is both
impracticable and uneconomical. The
Lexington had more than 1000 officers
and men aboard while she was locked
at Tacoma, to whom the government
pays a salary and furnishes subsist-
ence costing more than $1,000000 a
year. Navy officials estimated that
steam power plant for the city could
be operated by fewer than 100 en-
ployees.
In return for the power Tacoma is
to pay the navy about $4,000 day,
or 2.S cents per kilowatt hour.
Officers pointed out that, except for
great emergencies, the navy has no
authority to lend vessels to munich
palities, but that the department has
authority to lend ships to states for
sea scout work and naval militia op-

eve considered every phase Of the
situation before the Lexington was
lent to Tacoma" one high official said.
'It was even pointed out that if the
power break had been in the Missis-
sippi valley, where ship was. unable
to operate, the people would have used
candles and lamps.
''Finally the ship was lent, and now
we are waiting for bowls from con-
gress against use Of great ship like
the Lexington for a power plant, be-
cause of the expense"
The Lexington did not furnish it's
full power possibilities to Tacoma, for
the vessels great turbine engines gen.
crate more than 10000 horse power,
or enough electricity to supply a city
as large as Philadelphia.
Another drawback to using war
craft for power plants is that the Lex

ownership had suddenly fallen heir to
a fortune, and had decided to build a
house and set up housekeeping.
The house itself had just been built,
and it simply shone and smelled in
side and out of varnish and fresh
paint. Now fresh paint has a very
healthy smell, am told. Everything
inside the house was new-the china,
the silver, the furniture, the pictures,
the rugs, the linen. There wasn't
even an old knife or a cracked or a
broken dish in the kitchen. Nothing
about the place had any pleasant
memories. I felt lonesome all the
time was there.
AS for me, like old things. There
is a softness of coloring in old ma
hogany, certain romance about an
old chair or an old piece of china.

Warshibs No Good as Po1uer Plants

Washington.-A new peace-time use
for warships and other fighting navy
craft, their utilization as power plants
for seaboard cities in emergencies, has
been tested by the navy and found i'm
practicable.
When the airplane carrier Lexing-
ton, largest ship in the navy, was lent
to Tacoma, Wash, as a power plant,
because of a breakdown of the mu-
nicipal unit. some far-sighted persons
had visions of warships steaming up
to city piers and furnishing cheap
electricity.

opinion of naval experts. Navy ships

You know the old saying about what
half Of the world doesn't know about
the other half. For better under
standing, then, let's look into how a
few millionaires live.
Mr.. E. F. Hutton's little flat is
mere triplex. According to report,
neither Mr.. Hutton, the chief house
keeper nor the architect knows exact
ly how many rooms there are, but the
estimate is 65. The rent is reported
to be $4,000 year.
Arthur Brisbane's triplex apartment
was to have had GO rooms, but Mr..
Brisbane wanted larger chambers. So
there are only 40. The living room
is two stories high, 60 feet long, and
has log burning fireplace in either
end.
One of the new buildings going up
is large affair Of fourteen stories
yet it will contain only seven apart
ments. But what apartments! Many
of the new developments along the
East river feature private yacht land
ings, gymnasiums and swimming pools.
