Factor, 10, son of John tJake the
barber) Factor, one time bootblack
who boasted he gambled with the
Prince of Wales, was released today
by kidnapers who held him eight
days for $4,000 ransom.
The youth whose father had
called in remnants of the powerful
Capone gang to aid in obtaining
his freedom said he had not been
harmed in his captivity.
Young Factor appeared at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Leonard
Marcus, Factors first wife. 1t was
on the steps of this house that he
was seized a week ago Wednesday
night by the abduction ring.
"The kidnapers kept me blind
folded,'' said young Factor. "It
was hard to tell where they took
me. I didn't recognize the spot
where they released me. I walked
down the street until saw a cab.
I got in and came here.'
Capt. Dan Gilbert Immediately
went to the Marcus home to ques-
ton the youth. He said young
Factor appeared uncertain regard
ing the details of the abduction.
The kidnapers treated him well
he said, supplying him with what
ever food he asked, magazines and
newspapers in which he read ac-
counts of the abduction.
The release of the boy, pre-legal
student at Northwestern university,
came after a night of intense activ-
ity.
! Erstwhile Capone leaders-Mur-
ray Humphries, Sam (Golfbag)
Hunt and others-had intensified
their activities on the boys be-
half. More than 125 Chicago gang
sters, the United Press learned
banded to aid Factor

provide a precarious existence for
an unknown number of unemploy-

when it aided a party of desert
dwellers to obtain Red Cross and
Salvation Army aid.
| In many parts of the county
there are isolated camps where it
is possible to exc out poor living
by a laborious dry washings Of the
sands for tiny flecks Of gold.
Improvised tents and shacks shell
ter the men, women and children
and oftentimes water is hauled
great distances and must be used
sparingly, the desert party states.
Food is the great problem as it
is not often enough gold is found
to provide the cheapest and plain
est of fare
Relief agencies give what aid
they can when it is sought and
those in charge of welfare work
frequently express great adnira-
ton for the brave men and wom-
en- who are determined to help
themselves at no matter what sac
rifice.

(SpeciaD-All I know is just
what I read in the Albuquer-

we are off the gold. Well, I
am flying over Arizona and
New Mexico as I write this, and
you could take parachute and
jump out any place. The best
way to tell when each one of us
went off the gold is to figure
back how many years it was
since we had any. Well, that's
when we went off. The last I
can remember getting my
clutches on was in Johannes
burg, South Africa, some S.
English gold pieces that we car
ried in a belt around our waist.
I used the last one to pay

THE perfect date, colorful, trans

is now an American product, thanks
to the untiring effort of our date
growers. Arabian dates r still
shipped into our country In large
quantities, but nothing so far has
reached the perfection of the home
grown.
Il will probably be some time be
fore we can supply the demand with
the home product, for the date is so
we'll liked and is used for confec-
lions so largely, as well as for or.
binary food
With a handful of nuts and a
half dozen dates, a glass of orange
Juice. one need not worry over cal
cries or hunger.
Dates are enjoyed In bread, cake,
cookies, chopped with nuts and
nodded into bars, stuffed with nuts
or preserved fruit or fondant add
ed to salads they give just the note
of sweetness that any salad needs,
they take the place of raisins or
combine with them In desserts OF
various kinds.

dates that have been pitted, with
one cupful of water and one table
spoonful OF lemon juice; cook until
a thick paste Is formed. then add
