OFFICER ROUTS
BANDITS, SAVES
GUARD, PAY ROLL
Scores See Guns Blaze
On Chicago Street

CHICAGO, Aug. s (C.T.P.S).
A policeman yesterday saved the
life Of a pay roll guard and pre-
vented three gunner from seiz-
ing $500 by routing them in a
thrilling battle in a downtown
street. Scores of shoppers and
office building workers witnessed
the fight.
Policeman Will a m Marshall
was accompanying STEINER STEM
erson, So, employee of the M. Born
and Company, wholesale tailors.
They had just obtained the pay
roll at a bank.
An automobile drew to the curb.
A man in the rear seat, wearing
dark glasses, showed the muzzle
Of a sawed-off shotgun through
the door, cursed at the policeman
and ordered him and StenerSon
to raise their hands.
Instead of complying, Marshall
drew his pistol and fired a shot
at the bandit, who replied with
charge from his shotgun. The
bullets went wild. Marshall told
Stenerson to run, then fired two
more shots at the gangsterS.
The armed outlaw fired a Sec
ond charge, then slumped in his
seat as if wounded as the driver
started the car. Fifteen feet away,
near an alley, a third man ap-
peared, fired point blank at Mar
shall, then jumped aboard the
moving car as it turned a corner
and disappeared.

HOSE who work and pray for
peace lean on weak rod when
they depend upon memory of the
blood and tears of the last war"
With the help of the Census
Bureau in Washington, we have
arrived at the figures of the young
men and women living in the
United States today who were
born during the years the war
ragged in Europe.
There are ll,8O6,697 young
citizens who were born in those
tragic years. They are from nine
teen to twenty-three now and
they know the war only as pages
in history books or through remi-
niscences of their elders. Some
of the Oldest ones may remember
going without sugar but the
blood and tears" have not
touched them. They are ripe for
propagandists. Unless they can
be trained to think as we'll as
feel, the Devils reaper will
harvest much of the flower of the
land that is represented in those
more than eleven million young
citizens.

A noted American flyer, caught in one
of Europe's mock air raids, g|impses
the next war
BY MAYOR Al WILLIAMS

KehearSal!
In this wild symphonic orgy the
treble is heard first There's still the
bass to come in.
And there it is now somewhere
above the horizon muttering
muttering >. then booming.
The searchlights around the edges
of town are probing the black skies like
spotlights dressing stage entrance,
while the anti-aircraft batteries chorus
along like million giant air-hammers
riveting heavy girders.
The bass, once spot of muttering in
the distant heavens, now fills the uni
verse, echolng from horizon to horizon
Its pulsations are faster as the note be-
comes coarser; its deep tom-tom boom
now has an edge sharpened to splin-
tering, Gathering whine that squints
ones eyes. The big high-speed bombers
race overhead in shallow dives, unseen.
Tiny lights appear in the black sky,
swelling and growing until they become
incandescent balls of fame Stimulating
bombs that are dropping, suppose.
An ambulance comes to screeching
halt about thirty feet ahead of me
while dimly outlined figures, whose
faces are the same color as their
clothes, scramble out of it and run
across the street carrying a stretcher
Their hurried gestures awaken a
short peal ofhysterical laughter, quickly
stiAed. There's figure on the stretcher!
A uniformed shape brushes by me,
turns and points to my face. l don't
understand. OF comes the pig-like
mask, while it's owner hurls lot of
rapid sentences at me. spread my
arms and shrug my shoulders. On goes
the shouted mask again, and with a
shrug, the figure hurries away.
That bass overhead has faded to an
echoing, pulsating boom again :. the
bombers are miles away now.
The sirens are running in short
swirls that taper into strangled silence
when half way up the scale, as if some
giant hand were Tightening around
each whining throat as fast as it could
move. Short blasts are those - the
Secure" signal.
The Frankenstein Rehearsal is over.
The lights are coming on again as
people stream from doorways, fences
and hedges, and out of cellars.
The nervous tension is unwinding.
Gathering my coat around me, |
pull my hat down hard. The deep blue
dome overhead is studded with stars
silent again - as it was, and will be.
Dear God, must we shatter such
peace and tranquility in this das-
tardly fashion? And if so, why? Is there
no other answer or solution? But if not,
at least grateful thanks for that wall of
salt water, three thousand miles thick,
that insulates my country from world
that seems to be going mad

BACK in 1915, John ]. McGraw,
manager of the New York Giants,
signed up young Fordham
University graduate named AL
ford J. Williams. He was pitcher
with a good curve ball, and
hop on his fast one. Then America
entered the war. Williams quit
baseball, became naval aviator.
He became one of the Navy's
great flyers, and when the war
ended, he remained in the serv-
ice - developing aerial acrobats
for warfare in the sky, improving
our fighting planes. For eight
consecutive years he held the
American speed record.
Recently he toured Europe to
study its air forces. Sauntering
through foreign city one night
he saw rehearsal of the next
war. His powerful word-picture
of that rehearsal appears in the
next column. Don't miss it.
JIM FULLY ran away from home
when he was fourteen and began
drifting over America. Hobo,
laborer, dishwasher, circus hand
and newsboy. Prize-hghter, sales
man, tree surgeon and reporter.
Then the former hobo started
writing and hiked to fame. For
years he has been in Hollywood,
writing of that glamorous, razzle-
dazzle capital of the movies. Old
stars have faded; new ones have
burstintopopularity - and Tully
has known them all.
Another of his intimate close
ups appears in an early issue. In
it he explodes a secret about
Hollywood's greatest feminine
star. Don't miss Jim Tully's story
Of the elusive Greta Garbo.

ldStoIieS "nlCn were Dulldlng ShlpS

with awe and admiration while in
tricately designed machinery ground,
shaped and stamped steel bars and
sheets of metal into connecting rods,
crankshafts, wing ribs and the null
titude of parts that 60 to make up a
finished airplane =.
But all that was hours ago :. Now
| am walking in the streets of foreign
city. My ears, relieved from the stri-
dent humming of spinning wheels, are
pleasantly curious about the unfamiliar
word sounds that come to them.
1t is about half past nine o'clock.
The night is clear. The air is brisk; the
sidewalks are crowded with people.
ldling along, just bit lonesome, and
stopping at each show window that
boasts brightly Of some new attraction,
| am thinking of a world that must be
weary of its labors, day that is tired
and trying to draw the curtain of night
over its head and rest.
And since | cannot have a share in
what is going on, smile philosophically
and tolerantly at the efforts of humans
to prolong the routine Of wakeful living
with liz hts and feverish energy.
But soon all will be quiet again and
the deep silence between those stars
that are twinkling so brightly in the
dark dome overhead will lull this
hectic
Suddenly there is the rising Gre
scendo of nearby siren spiralling
louder and higher as it gathers speed
:. then another and another until
the canyons between the tall buildings
are choked with chilling howls. The
very air seems to have come to life.
The street lights and those in the
houses and windows seem to be flicker
ing. In reality they are dying as each
additional switch is turned. People
who are unknown to one another begin
to talk. Cars pull sharply to the curb
For those who are tardy in dimming
their lights, there are decisive COM
mands that ring through the gathering
darkness, the one touch of order in this
rudderless insanity.
My eyes are becoming accustomed
to the gloom. am alone in a street
that was crowded few moments ago.
Even with the aid of lights it was diff
hcult enough to find my way about.
But now am lost.
There's a brilliant fare of light at
the end of the street, probably in the
public square toured, sightseeing bent
Ambulances race one another with
more blood-curdling siren screams,
stirring an ancient human dread and
fear of danger in the night.
Mars is baying the moon, and the
world of machinery and spinning steel
has risen against its masters, whose
voices are stilled in awe.

ALBERT SHAW, one Of Americas
most distinguished citizens, told
this story at Irving Bachelors
home recently. Mr.. Shaw was in
England when the first American
troops landed there during the
World War. The King reviewed
them, and later Albert Shaw
lunched at Buckingham Palace
with George V. The King was in a
gay humor. Praising the Ameri-
can soldiers, he laughed, and said,
"They want to be shown
As the King had passed, one of
the American doughboys had
nudged his buddy and said,
Salute, that's the King"
"Who? Where?" the doughboy
asked. Then, "Shucks! That's
not the King where's his
damned crown?"

GEORGE EASTMAN, after ripe ex-
perience, made this cynical COM
ment on life:
"To seek friendship is COM
mendable; to find it is fortunate;
but to be in need oft is weakness"
