 About c half hour passed, and then they started dropping down again. By now the clouds had blown away and everything was clear.
 All of . sudden Duncy spied the Tinymites below. One cried "We'il hold q blanket for you, lad. Come on, now, drop down hercl"
 The blanket then was spread oua wide and to the bird brave Duncy cried. "Piease let go of my shouls dcrsl am not afraid to fall"

 MEN CONVICTED

Brockton, Mass, March SI.-Up) Two members, one Q. charter member and a signer of it's con- stitution, have been formally con- victed of treason by the Brother hood of Shoe and Allied Craftsmen, it was announced today.
 Penalties to be imposed upon Frank Piesco, one of the unions founders, and Salvatore Moscatelli will be decided at a meeting later this week or Monday. If expelled, they will be virtually "blackballed'' and barred from shoe factory jobs in this city.
 Piesco and Moscatelli allegedly circulated pamphlets Inaligning Frank A. Goodwin, the unions legal adviser and state motor vehicle reg istrar. Goodwin subsequently, re- signed because of the "communistic element" within the union, but no action has been taken on his resig- nation.
 The treason convictions were voted last night by the unions general and control boards composed of delegates from the various locals.

ment since April 1s. 1918. He vas made Q member of the detective bureau on December l, 1921, but subsequently, served as head Of the vice squad during some of it's bust- est years during the prohibition era.
 Lieutenant Stevens
 Lieutenant Detective Stevens, who will be named "chief inspector, will like Chief Inspector Keegan draw salary slightly higher than that of an ordinary captain. Captains salaries are $3,l00 a year. The ."chief inspector" draws $3,500 swear. Captain Keegan, as he is better known to his associates and the public in general, will draw half or that sum yearly, upon being retired. The salary of lietenant is $2,7OO per year and the retirement pension is half that amount annually.
 Lieutenant Stevens, like Captain Keegan, has seen the local detective bureau grow from small depart ment to its present, important size. The bureau here is ranked among the best in the country. When he and Captain Keegan were both "leg men" they were noted for the num- Der of cases they solved.
