l.CIOrifier of American Girl,"
 Florens Ziegfeld, Passes A,vay

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 23.- Florenz ziegfeld, originator of the famed ziegfeld Follies and inter- nationally known as the "Glorl- fer of the American Girl" died here in his sixty-fourth year. He succumbed to an attack of the heart at The Cedars where ap- parently he had been recovering from a congestion of the lungs re- sulting in an attack of pneumonia, suffered a year ago. Billie Burke, stage and screen actress, his wife, arrived at the hospital two minutes after his death.
 Ran Away From Home
 Florenz ziegfeld, who gained his first experience as a show man at the age of thirteen, when he ran away from home and joined Buffalo Bills wild west show, achieved his greatest reputation as a producer of girl-and-music shows.
 He won the title "Glorifier of the American Girl" and amassed a fortune through his annual Broadway revues, The Follies, in which he led the trend toward nudity on the stage.
 Admitting that he was to blame for the first tendency toward this form of daring, he lived to regret the extremes in nudity to which some producers later went. He claimed he had presented nudity "artistically" and deplored the daring and coarseness" of exploit CTS on Broadway, who, he said were "pandering to the vilest tastes of play-goerS to force box office stampede"

 Merit and Artistry
 T am leading the movement back to artistry and normalcy in the theatre" he said at that time. ''There is but one thing left for legitimate producers to do, and that is to lead not only audiences back to the shows based on merit and artistry, but to force other producers to amend their ways"
 He asked the theatre-going pub lies support by patronizing only those shows that were free from displays of naked women.
 Even in matrimony Ziegfeld con- fined himself to the theatrical field His first wife was Anna Held, whom he starred in several productions and from whom he was subsequently, divorced. In 1914 he married Miss Billie Burke, the actress, who was the star in sev- eral of his productions. A daugh- ter, Patricia, was born to the cou- pie in 1916.

THIRD MEMBER OF
 GANG MAKES ESCAPE
Believel Series of Holdups of Parked Cars Is
 Now Explained

TACOMA, Wash, July 23. .Gunfire of three policemen, from a trap they set to cap- ture a hOldup gang which had been preying on parked cars in the residential dis tricts, killed two men last night from a decOy autOmO- bile in surrounding shrub bery.
 Fire from sawed-off shot, guns moved two, the victims being two men, about 25 years of age, as yet unidenti- fled. They are credited with a score of holdups in the dis trict. The third member of the gang is believed to have escaped in an automobile as the others were shot.
 Trap Setters
 The officers setting the trap and getting two men were Sergeant Larry Amundson, Detective John Paulson and Officer Percy Gregg.
 Two members of the holdup gang approached the auto in which two of the officers were seated. One flashed a flashlight in the face of Paulson and demanded that he stick 'em up."
 Sergeant Amundson leaped from the shrubbery and demanded that the men surrender.
 Raises Revolver
 One of the holdup men started to run and the other swung toward Amundson, revolver raised.
 Amundson and Gregg opened fire and the holdup man dropped with buckshot in the chest. The officers then fired at the running man and he fell, caught in the crossfire.
 Then a car, nearby, drove away and it is believed it carried the third man.

Il read THE Life and Adventures
of AloysiuS O'Callaghan," by Thomas
Washington-Metcalfe.
To say that this book is Robin
son Crusoe" and THE Three Mus
keteers" rolled into one is putting 1t
mildly. 1t starts with a rush and
ends the same way.
And despite its supreme impos-
sibility, it is great story, amaz-
ingly well done.
1t takes lusty, witty, staggering
O'Gallaghan through his days as a
stable boy, sojourn on a desert
island, during which his champion
is eaten by cannibalS, a visit to the
Alaskan gold country, and his final
settlement in Santa Anna, a ba-
mana republic where he is virtually
king.
A bare outline can give little
more than a hint of the breath
less pace with which this book
moves.
Plots for a dozen ordinary novels
are disposed of in a page and a
sentence takes care of chapters.
''The Life and Adventures of
AloysiuS O'Callaghan" is published
by William Morrow & Co., and sells
for $3.50.

Rivers on business. A dirty-mouthed
whipsnapper insulted me not two
hours ago and I aim to settle with
him personally" Asper's spleen
rose as he remembered his CONVEX
sation with Mr. Ball of Blind River.

Rivers and you've always said he
was your most efficient mani You
haven't been up there since the
work started. Why go now?" Dona
protested.
She was more interested in locat-
ing Stanley Black and repaying him
in a proper manner than in having
her father rush off to an obscure
timber camp. She felt he would be
just the person to handle Stanley
Black. They seemed to have many
traits in common.
"Swergin is all right, but this is
a personal matter" Asper Delo's
face began to purple again as he
remembered.

She smiled up at him so radiantly
that Stan became at once aware Of
his dust-covered clothing. his free
kles and his shock of unruly hair.

less hiking brought them to a main
road and Stan tagged a passing
motorist.

phone and call her father before
the two missing thugs could send
him a note. They stopped at a

as she entered the lunchroom with
her father behind her.
Whats his name?" Asper Delo
pulled a green backed memo book
from his pocket. I'll mail him a
check" He slumped down heavily
beside one of the tables.
His name is Stanley Black, but I

close to nervous tears now.

down the name. He'll be underfoot

squeezed Dona'S hand affectionately.
This had been a hard day and he
was tired.

her so as to be able to see her
again.
OF course, she was unattainable
for one of his standing, but he
was sure she would be friendly. He
just sat and looked at her for what
seemed only a few minutes. She
broke into his thoughts abruptly by
leaping up.
There's dadl" With a wave of
her hand she darted outside.
Stan looked through the window
and saw Asper Delo striding across
the patch of gravel between two
red pumps. He watched Dona
snothered in her fathers arms and
saw her take his hand and lead him
toward the lunchroom.
With a half smile at the turn of
his luck, Stan slipped through the
back door, tossing a dollar on the
counter as he hurried by.

on a platter. He would get his re-
port and make the old war horse
like it.
Ten minutes later he was kicking
himself for what he had done. Her
anger gone, Dona Delo was very
alluring, feminine creature. AS she
munched a hot dog and slipped soda
from a bottle, Stan thought her the
most attractive girl he had ever
seen. He made up his mind to tell

shot through the open door and de-
scended upon him.
Stan landed at the fellows side at
one leap. With a smashing blow
to the butt Of the ear, he sent the
kidnaper Keeling from his chair.
Grinning a hard smile, and with a
boot ready to kick the automatic
out Of the ruffian's hand should he
go for it, Stan Ball stood over the
wilted man and waited for him to
rise.
The PROSTATE enemy failed to
move a muscle. STAINS blow had
been knockout punch and what
had looked fair to be herman fight
had frizzled.
CURGLING sounds from the
NJ captive caused Stan to stare
guiltily. He sprang across the room
and freed her. She did not faint
or fall into his arms.
Instead, she stamped over to the
PROSTATE thug and bent over him.
With savage jerk she relieved him
of his gun. Stan Ball burst out
laughing and his freckled nose
wrinkled until the brown spots
danced.
You have a way with gunner,

of his wide hat, then held out his
hand for the gun. Better let a

is really funny, isn't it?" She passed
him the gun without hesitation.
Great fun, but we better herd
ourselves out of her, Miss -?"
Stan was no glib-tongued modern
youth. Women were beings to be
met properly in his little world.
Even such unusual circumstances
did not alter the case.
"Delo, Dona Delo." They were
at the door as she spoke.
Stan had his hat off again and
was about to present himself but
her words halted him abruptly. He
looked upon her slender beauty and
her wind-blown tan that had not
come from city air and his lips
parted as he realized who she was.
"Old Aspers daughter-with all
the old boys spunk," he thought as
he followed her outside without
speaking.
Dona Delo Gid not notice this
omission. She still was angry and
excited. She wheeled and laid a
small hand upon his arm. "You
must not think me silly, or unap-
preciative, but I'm mad clear
through. That cad, Graham, put il
over on me that he was a college
