ERRORS PREVENTED
EFFECTIVE BREAK
Yeggmen Had Gas Bottles
Partly Filled, While Safe
Contained No Cash.

Although they planned and executed
a getaway with painstaking skill, the
quartet of yeggmen who attempted to
burn open a strong box at the Sears,
Roebuck Co. store early yesterday made
several major errors during the sew
eral months in which they are believed
to have plotted the robbery.
Perhaps the greatest was when they
stole two cumbersome bottles" of acety-
lene gas, which, at the time of their
disappearance from a welderS shop at
477l2 c street southwest. were filled
only to one-third capacity.
Tested yesterday afternoon following
the attempted robbery, in the course Of
which two night watchmen were bound
and chloroformed, the gas bottles"
were found to be completely exhausted.
Police say the yeggmen's torch prob
ably f1ickered out on them about the
time they cut through the outer metal
shell of the safe and ascertained that
1t guarded an inner strong box equally
as formidable.
The four men abandoned their torch
and accessories about 8 o'clock yester-
day morning, making an escape through

DESERT CHARLIE F1EAVES A SIGH

Lecture Tour of Western Wanderer Comes
to Naught as He Finds People
Haven't Time to Hear.

It seemed to Desert Charlie, back
where the solitudeS gave a man a
chance to think, that the universe had
been put together along fantastic but
logical lines
There was the burning breadth of the
Majave sands. distorted by upheavals
of rock inexplicable to the casual trav-
eler
There we're the serrated rims of dead
volcanoes tossed up by forces no man
could explain.
Yet all these illogical aspects of the
desert appeared logical to Charlie, who
had slept most of his nights upon the
sand and who had lived most of his days
under the eye Of the uncovered sun.
All Seemed Simple.
Charlie came to understand. from
drinking water split between the hands
and from wandering the tortured hill
sides with his head exposed to the sun.
1t all seemed simple, as Desert Char
lie explained. There were fires under
the earth, consuming fires which would
not be put down. Sometimes, in ages
past, they belched forth.
The fires, Charlie said, were fed by
Subterranean coal oil, birthstone and
explained, sulphur must have burned,
since the broken rock of the desert
sometimes showed yellow stain.
Charlie, who had comprehended these
things. could no longer rest content
upon the sand. eking out an existence
by begging beyond the rim of the desert
only to return and sleep in the sandy
hollows.
That's for the Old Men!
These things, Charlie averred. were
for the $50 old men who could not live
apart from the desert. and who could
not long survive its exactments.
They, Charlie said, knew nothing of
the great riddle of the universe. 1t

SCORES HERE ASK
MILITARY TRAINING
Districts Quota of 3O7 Ex-
peCted to Be Passed Early
This Year.

Headquarters of the Organized Re-
serves have received scores of applica-
tons from Washington boys desiring to
attend the Citizens Military Training
Camps in nearby Virginia and Mary
land this Summer, and indications are
that the quota of the District of Column
bia, set at BOT, will be passed in record
time.
Enrolment books were opened several
days ago and the response has been so
hearty that the procurement committee,
with headquarters at the oxford Hotel,
is seeking arrangements whereby the
District quota might be increased.
Fearing, however, that such arrange
ments cannot be made, Maj. Charles
Demonet, Ordnance Reserve Corps and
chairman of the procurement committee,
has urged that young men desiring to
enroll communicate their intention i'm
mediately to insure their approval by
the War Department.
Camps in this corps area which the
District boys will attend are Fort
Howard. Md: Fort Eustis, Va; Fort
Hoyle, Md; Fort Monroe, Va; Fort
Myer, Va, and Fort Monmouth. N. j.
Four courses, namely, the basic, red,
white and blue, are given at the camps
and the instruction covers a period of
80 days. The basic course provides pre-
liminary physical. mental and moral
training, including bodily development,
athletics, drill, rifle craftsmanship, first
aid camp sanitation, personal hygiene.
military courtesy, discipline and studies
in citizenship. The red course provides
training in the various branches of
the Army, such as Infantry, Cavalry,
Field Artillery, Coast Artillery and
Signal Corps. Advanced instruction is
also given in subjects begun in the basic
course. The special object of the
white course is to qualify the candidate
as a non-comnissioned officer capable
of training recruits and leading them.
Graduates of this course may become
non commissioned officers in the en-
listed Reserve. The blue course trains
selected citizens in actual leadership.
Graduates may spend one year in the
enlisted Reserve, National Guard or
Regular Army and upon successful COM
pletion of a prescribed course of study
become entitled to a commission in
the officers Reserve Corps.

was for Charlie to explain things, and
this he set out to do.
Last April, a year ago. Charlie pro-
cured four burroS-no one could explain
how he saved so much money-and two
days later he had packed his worldly
goods upon their backs, tied them to-
gether in the best desert fashion and
set out for the East.
Charlie, as he told every one. was
fairly embarked on lecture tour, and
he felt that he could benefit both him.
self and the Fasteners once he got to
their great cities.
It was not for Charlie, who had
learned fortitude and reticence in his SO
years, to complain Of the hardships
which beset him on the long trek to
New York City.
If the burros' hoofs split on the I'M
accustomed asphalt, 1t was Charlie s
business, and If the populace along the
Wayside was slow about paying to hear
Charles lecture, that also was Charlie
business.
Last month. about a year after his
departure, Charlie drove his four burros
into the city of his destination-New
York. The trafic, as Charlie said, was
heavy and few had time to wait for his
pack train.
Few to Hear Lectures.
Later Charlie learned that few had
time to hear him explain things in his
lectures
Yesterday Charlie and his four burros
came through Washington on their way
back to the desert.
Since we've been over here" Charlie
said, with generous gesture which in
cluded all the burros, reporters stop
us every time we start through a city.
Now. It's a long ways back to Cali
fornia and I'm in a powerful hurry
so If you want to interview me, do it
now, because I don't aim to be stopped
