The mysterious. and to q large extent, secret workings of that division of tho police department in which are recorded the cases of kidnapped man and women and those who strangely vanish, are brought to light for the first time In pictures with the First Nation. al production entitled tho Bureau of Missing Persons" which opens at the strand theater tomorrow with Bette Davis, Pat o'Brien Lewis Stone and Glenda Farrell heading the large cast.
 In every large oity there are thousands of missing persons re. ported yearly. A fair proportion of these persons are found, but many dlsappea completely. Every class and age Is represented among the missing, as related In the pie ture.
 The story also gives an accurate and graphic picture of the meth ods employed by the police. Robert Presnell, who wrote the screen play from book by Captain John II. Ayres and Carol Bird. relating the captains experiences as head of the New York City Bureau of Missing Persons, made an exhaus- tive study of the police depart ments in New York, Los Angeles and other cities, in order to get accurate data for the picture.
 There is an exceptionally large and able cast of players, many of whom have starred on both stage and screen. They include, besides those previously mentioned, Allen Jenkins, Ruth Donnelly, Hugh Herbert. Alan Dinehart and Mar- jorie Gateson.
 The companion feature is "Ia. dies Must Love" with the stage ia. vorite June Knight and Nell Ham. ilton leading large cast.

 Winkler Is Captured
 Tracing of this apparatus led detectives to Chicago garage owner. In whose shop 1t had been installed. Tracing still further, the detectives learned that this man was friend of Winkler and that Winkler owned an interest In the ghrage.
 But where was Winkler? No one had seen him for months. Detectives located negro chhuf- feur whom they knew had bken, and probably still was, in Wink ler's employ They shadowed the chauffeur and, unwittlngly, he led them to fashionable apartment building on Lako Shore drive. A check on the tenants showed that one "Mr M. j. Michael' answered WiNslers description.
 Behind q grocery boy, at whose knock Mrs Winkler opened the door, a squad Of detectives barged Into the apartment. They found Winkler lounging on bed.
 Contends His Innocence
 Insisting he knew nothing of the robbery, Winkler was taken to Jail. Meanwhile, Chicago police contln- ued their investigatlon-and with amazing results that seemed to link underworld lenders
 BalllstIc tests of bullets taken from the slain polIceman's body proved that they had been fired from one of the machine guns that wrought bloody horror in the Kan sas City Union station massacre. RIning marks corresponded with those on bullets taken from bodies of some of the Kansas City victims. that the policeman had been slain
 That meant officers believed, by Verne Miller, still at large, ac- oused of having operated one of tho Kansas City machine guns while Bailey operated the other.
 Ownership of the wrecked car was traced to Kelly, then Q fugi- tive. Moreover, Miller and Kelly arc said to have been identified from photographs as the bandits.

Green, decided that he was not guilty, So he again went free, theukh a conviction for sun toting still hangs over him.
 Life Story Bizarre One There ia no more bizarre story in American crime than that Of Gus Winkier dapper, braAny, and suave. A licensed alrplane pilot, he used to ferry liquor from Cuba to Miami for Al Capone's Chicago syndicate.
 He advanced rapidly and became one of Capone's chief iieutenants in the Chicago liquor racket. It Ia d matter of record that when arrested for the Lincoln bank rob- bery he wired to Capone for money tor his s100,o00 bond, and got 1t.
 Winkler was pal of "xiller" Burke, Al Capone's cold-eyed ma chine gunner, believed to be the man who "rubber out" seven of oapene's rival gangsters in Chi- eafo's st valentines day massacre In 1929. He Is said to have stood at Burke's side as the latter merei- lsssly moved down Capone's foes.
 Later, Burke was tried for the murder of q policeman and sen- fenced to life in the Michigan p6ni- tentiary. He Is still there.
 Bailey Enters Scene
 Again, Harvey Bailey enters the scene in connection with Wihkler, for Bailey later was identified as one of the machine gunners in the S2,s00,00O Lincoln bank robbery for wheih Winkler was arrested. Two of these bandits were cap- tured and sentenced to sS years each.
 Some time after this robbery, Winkler was captured in Michigan, when he was injured in an auto of an eye. In his wrecked car were smash-up that cost him the sight articles of disguise.
 Charged with the Lincoln bank robbery, Winkler declared he was In Buffalo, N. r., that day and had registered at a Buffalo hotel. In- vestigation showed that he had.
 But 1t also showed that a strange airplane had left Lincoln shortly after the robbery at 10 .. m. and that Winkler had not registered at the hotel until about nightfall. From Lincoln to Buffalo would be about 10-hour flight for an ordi- nary plane.
 Rather than face a trial before "a Jury of Nebraska farmers" Winkler dlckereds with the law.
 Winkler Keeps Pledge
 "Bank robbery isn't my. racket, for I'm too busy with the liauor racket in Chicago" said Winkler. But I know where these stolen bonds are and l can get them back. They will cost me s7b.000, but it's worth 1t. What do you say?"
 The law accepted and Gus Wink Ter kept his promise---however, tho inevitable happened. gang guns boomed, Winkler went the way of all gangsters-out, The cards were stacked against him one way or the other, gangdom on one side. tho law on the other--just the end of another smart crook.

well, what is it you want to show
me?" she asked somewhat Grossly.
Reddy nodded toward several little
pits in the sand. DO you see those
little pits?" he asked
"Of course see them. Do you think

like them dozens of times" replied
Mrs. Reddy.
DO you know what they are?" asked
Reddy.
Did you call me out here just to

Yes. did," replied Reddy good
naturedly. And I asked you II you
know what they are?"

just to look at little pits in the sand!
Probably some one has walked across
that sand and those are his footprints

Just what I thought" said Reddy
'Those are not footprints. They are
traps"
Mrs. Reddy turned back to look again

she hadn't understood.

were asked to name the urge back OF
evolution I would unhesitatingly nomi-
nate the struggle for freedom.
When the race was young we were
struggling for freedom from external
nature forces-storms. climate, wild
beasts, infections. The majority OF
these are now fairly we'll conquered.
This was a long. hard fight. accom-
plished only by the slow and imperfect
force Of the science of external nature.
While this was going on the races Of
men found themselves enslaved by po-
litical bondage. We have been at work
on political emancipation for about
1000 years. The fight for freedom in
this respect Is by no means over. But
We are beginning to sever the bonds.
A third big fight for freedom is now
taking form. This struggle will last for
several centuries. We are out for mental
emancipation. Mental emancipation
means a struggle with internal nature.
Psychology is the tool We will use to
sever our unseen bonds: Superstititions,
selfish motives, fear.

Watch it," commended Reddy in q
tone that caused Mrs. Reddy to stop
and stare at the ant.
Across the sand came the ant in the
usual hurry Of ants. Right in front
of it was one of those little pits in
the sand. On the very edge Of it the
ant stopped and turned, running along
the edge Of it. Suddenly one foot
slipped over the edge. The ant hastily
withdrew that foot, but some grains
Of sand rolled from under another foot
and in second more grains Of sand
slipped from under that ant and down

Of the little pit.
Instantly something hidden in the
sand there moved and the ant began
to frantically try to climb up and out
Of that pit. But the loose sand kept
slipping under her feet and she kept
sliding back. She didn't. however. slide
clear to the bottom. and she kept on
struggling to get up the sliding wall
of that little pit. Even Mrs Reddy,
who didn't know what it was all about,
could see that that was a badly fright
ened ant. She looked at Reddy.
II told you that those pits are traps"
he said. And the trapper is right at
the bottom. hidden in the sand"
Mrs. Reddy stared at the struggling
ant and at the bottom of the pit for
a glimpse of the queer trapper.

I'm afraid. You come
with me-"
What good will that do me? I might
as well 60 myself. Now run along.
Don't be silly. There's nothing there
to bite YOU"
That is mistake. The moment you
said. There is nothing there to bite
you" the child saw something that
would. She called up in her magma
ton all the strange beasts that lurk
In the dark. Maybe one Of them would
spring out at her and bite her. The
very fact that you mentioned biting
proves that things could bite.
Go along and see the doctor. He
won't eat you"
ASK the man for one. He won't
be mean to you"
Go right past the dog. He won't
bark at you
There's nothing in the dark to hurt
you"
All these statements hold suggestions
that brighten children who are timid.
They are afraid of something vague but
dreadful. You put the picture Of the
thing clearly to their minds, give 1t
name, and 1t bites them. It Is 30
easy to suggest fear where fear is
already in control. Is it more dimcult
to suggest courage where there is no
courage?
You don't want to go upstairs? I
wish you would. Turn on the light II
you like. You can see better. You
don't want to go? That's funny. Well
go together. BY and by you'll be big
enough to go all by yourself" Never
a word about the fear or the things
that bite you.
At night children are afraid Of the
same vague dangers. The shadows that
flicker. They know they are shadows,
but what are shadows anyway? There
they are and you can't catch them or
feel them or send them away. Queer
things, shadows, and fear creepS in be-
hind them. Fear itself Is a shadow
with all the characteristics Of those I'M
real things. The best cure for them
Is light. Put light on the child's bed
and teach him to turn it on and of
when he thinks he needs 1t. just as you
would do, and encourage him to think
brave thoughts. But avoid suggesting
the very fear you combat.
have never found 1t helps to force
a child to be brave never saw brav-
cry come out of force. 1t comes from
confidence and faith and it comes more
easily in the light than in the dark
ness. If a child breads going to sleep
ir dark room let him have a dim
light in the room or in the hail. where
it shines through the doorway. He will
learn not to be afraid by experience.
but he will not learn courage by being
scolded and punished for his fears.
Noises brighten children. Be- sure
that any noise is explained to the child's
satisfaction. Don't guess about it. but
take the child and show him the door
way that is creaking, the pipe that is
hammering. the dog that is barking or
bowling. Let his eyes and ears con-
vince him, if possible, that noise comes
from everyday things that do him no
harm. And be positive about things
that might cause fear. Suggest cour-
age and competence and faith, and
things will go better.

How it Started
"Not Care q Straw"
BY JEAN NEWTON,

Il don't care straw about that" we
say, and our meaning is plain For 1t
would be difficult to think of anything
more unimportant or worthless than
one straw!
The metaphor has existed long time
in our language. Perhaps because a
straw is something whose value does not
change with time! The only alteration
in modern speech Is the occasional
change to Il don't care two straws!"
This takes us back to the father Of
English literature" Godfrey Chaucer,
who used it in his Dethe Blaunche,
which dates 1869. Its ultimate source,
however, goes back more centuries to
classical antiquity. 1t was Terence, the
Roman writer Of comedies, living in the
second century BIC. who first said, Il
do not care one straw"
