NOVEL WAY OF
PRISON ESCAPE
NAUCURATED

George Boothby was recently sent
to the Brisbane Prison, Australia
for riding in motor cars not his own
His unexpected exit showed that he
could use another kind of vehicle, al.
so not his own.
In the old days convicts escaped or
horseback, by mount being conven-
iently tethered by friends. Later, the
motor car was employed in the same
way. But this is the first time, il
is believed, of a convict eluding dur
ance vile via airplane.
Still, Mr.. Boothby's durance was
not particularly vile. BY good behav-
ior he had so far won the confidence
of the superintendent as to be en-
ployed in the kitchen. He had never
mentioned that he was once an en-
ploye of the Australian Airways; he
had, however, boasted about his abil-
ity as a cook. This ability won him
less and less supervision until his
great opportunity came.
This was when he saw the super
intendent's son hang a new suit in
the closet off the kitchen entry. He
exchanged his prison garb for the
suit. which fitted him better. The
superintendent son had also left be-
hind in a pocket the key to his car
and his drivers license. These Mr..
Boothby appropriated and proceeded
to the garage just inside the gate.
With hat pulled well down over his
forehead, he drove rapidly out as he
had often seen the owner of the clothes
do.
On his way to the Archerfield Air
drome, two miles away, he was stop
ped by constable. But as his Ii
cense was all right and his word as to
his identity satisfactory, he was per-
mitted to proceed. Thus did the con-
stable allow $500 to slip through his
fingers-the authorities at Brisbane
have standing reward of that amount
for the delivery at the prison of an
escaped convict.
He secured plane quickly by being
taken for the superintendent's son.
After the wires radiating from Bris-
bane had assumed an unusual heat for
couple of hours the plane was found
to have had happy landing at Too
woombs, fifty miles away. But Mr..
Boothy was not in it.

TIT FOR TAT

When we farmers take trip
To visit city kin,
It's hard to sleep or even think,
In such an awful din.
The autos, trucks and street cars
With their incessant changing,
Keep us awake till dawn, and then
The milkman starts his banging.
Then when city cousins spend
Vacations on the farm,
Before they're even gone to bed
They listen with alarm
To crickets, frogs and katydids,
And even whippoorwills,
And when an owl starts hooting
They're nearly having chills.
They think the country noises
Are horrible, no less,
And are so glad when they can leav,
The scene of their distress.
To them the city's restful, and
They think it such a pity
That we're so cranky we can't sleep
When we are in the city.
Alma Gertrude Hurley.

By the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., August 24.-Gene
" Sarazen, nationally known
golfer, tonight decried the passing
of the good old days of golfdon
and launched a sharp criticism at
country clubs, which, he said, reek
with q commercial atmosphere.
Gone are the days when golf
was a sporting game. Today.
club expects top ranking pro to
spend thousands Of dollars ad-
vertising himself, travel 5000
miles on exhibitions and then
make some money-money for the
club.
THE pleasant memories OF golf
I hold are from my youth. When
I was champion in 1922. there was
a sporting atmosphere at clubs
over the country.
when I was caddie 1t was a
pleasure to see the members on
Saturday afternoons. They dressed
in beautiful clothes-white fian-
nels. s35 sweaters, and clean SOCKS.
Today, I bet nine-tenths OF the
members don't have their SOCKS
