buying gifts for tickle fiancees, all
for his "client". He has smoothed
out marital riffs with appropriate
presents from an erring spouse
He has helped dress an invalid,
unable to put on his pants, and
once was sent out by worried
wife to find an intoxicated hus-
band. Tommy found him and
brought him home-but not on his
bicycle.
The kilograms Tommy carries
bring sad news and happy news,
but it's all the same to Tommy.
You get sort of hardened to it

wonder what's in the envelopes

guess, like births and deaths, but
most of them I don't even bother
to think about. It's just business
with me-"
Despite his sophisticated attitude.
Tommy's years as a messenger have
given him a vast knowledge of the
doings of thousands of persons
and each bit of information is
tucked away in the back of his
mind. Anything he has learned in
the course of duty, however, is a
secret. Tommy knows the names
and addresses of hundreds of folk
who know him merely as the dimi-
nutive messenger boy who smokes
cigars on his time off.

Barnard, speaking on program
arranged by Steve Harris, described
how government investigators are
selected, and how some depart
mentS operate.
Applicants, he said, must be be-
tween the ages of % and 35, and
must be college men, graduates of
law school or trained accountants.
They must pass strict examinations,
and their past records and family
histories are closely investigated.
Those who prove satisfactory are
placed on the waiting list, he said.
A new member is given three
months of intensive training before
going out on a job as an under
study. All FBI investigators, Bar
nard said, return to Washington
every 18 months for additional
training.
"As a result of this effort to be
smarter than criminals, of 127 kid
napings since the passage of the
Lindbergh law, there have been
124 captures and convictions"
The FBI, he declared is a vital
factor in combating crime which,
in the United States, costs Is bill
lion dollars annually, an average
of $500 for every man, woman and
child

Red Gate Players
Appear Friday,
Saturday
BY MARY PADGETT

To raise money for the Chi
nese Red Cross, particularly to
buy Serums and antiseptics. the
Washington Committee for Aid
to China will sponsor an appear
ance here of the Red Gate Play
ers next Friday night at $50
o'clock and next Saturday aft
ernoon at $3.50 o'clock. at the
Foundry Methodist Church hall.
This will be the first public
presentation in Washington of
the nationally known Red Gate
Players, who will give a per-
Torrance of Chinese colored
shadow plays. Miss Pauline
Benton, founder anu director of
the troupe, studied this unique
branch of the theater in China,
receiving instruction from the
official shadow player of the
late Dowager Empress court.
Miss Benton is the only Ameri-
can woman prominent in this
Chinese theatrical art.
The actors" are gaily colored
parchment figures operated
somewhat like marionettes with
strings, who perform behind a
brightly illumined transparent
screen. In a realistic manner,
and giving the impression of
moving pictures, brilliant scenes
of Chinese life are enacted. The
plays will be taken from the
Chinese theater and presented
in the Chinese manner. There
will also be music on Oriental
instruments.
VOLUNTEER WORK
The performance has been ar
ranged to provide equal inter
est to adults and children.
The Washington Committee
for Aid to China was organized
about a year ago by persons
interested in the Chinese plight.
Most of the members are Amer
leans born in China or those
who have lived there. All ef-
forts are volunteered. So far
its principal work has been to
raise money for medical relief.
The committee is also interested
in promoting a boycott on Japa-
neSe goods and other measures
that might stop the aggression.
A meeting was held Thursday
night at the home Of Mrs. Walter
Perkins, 1900 block Saratoga
Ave. N. E.. to complete plans
for next weeks presentations.
Miss Adelaide Hemingway is
chairman of the committee in
charge. She is being assisted by

mer Graves, Miss Ruth Weiner,

Captured Five Women.
In another battle with the Assini-
BONES the same year he captured five
women. 1t was customary when war;
rtor touched one of the enemy's
women with his lance for her to be-
come his prisoner without any fur
ther resistance. He took them to his
camp, fed them we'll, gave them pres
ents, and then sent them home with
instructions to tell their husbands
what fine treatment they had received.
That was always Sitting Bulls way
with women. Time after time he tells
OF capturing them and always send
ing them home, unless they voluntarily
remained in the Sioux camp where
they could find husbands Sitting
Bulls only object in capturing them
was the count coups" on them. Every
prisoner counted for coup" and the
sum of the "coups" made the score of
the individual in this game of war
which the Indians played.
Once he captured a boy-Jumping
Bull. The warrior adopted the lad
and developed a deep affection for
him. Jumping Bull was generally con-
