troopers were peering into cars and
then letting them pass. Every time
they came to an old Ford or other
small car they made the occupants
produce their papers.
Neville and I approached just as
a Ford touring car was drawing to
a halt. Inside were three country
boys. They looked scared. Curiously,

not veterans of the business. They
cracked almost at once, whimpering
and pleading for mercy.
Neville waited until he was sure
all the stolen money had been recov-

under guard, then he led the way
back to the patrol car.

stared at him. "If that's routine,
my gosh, what do you call a real,
exciting case?"
Neville laughed. The way the
police have things under control
these days. capturing three bandits
like those boys is nothing more than
a matter of formality. You saw how
the, bank at Fayville had cooper
ated. The information they gave us,
coupled with what we know of GRIM

easy"

criminals are like the rest of us,
victims of habit. There are, for ex-
ample, only three types of bank rob-

a bank just after it opens in the
morning when few people are about,
there are those who hold it up at
noon when some of the employees
are at lunch, and there are the
greedy type who operate just before
3 O'Clock when the bank closes and
the cash drawers are full. The fact
that the Fayville job was pulled at
about 1880 in the morning indicated
that the bandits we're not veterans.

Natures Children

The center of the culture now is in
Holland. In Flanders and the
Netherlands there is still deep in
terest in the cultivation and i'm
provement. The number of bulbs
shlpped to this country from Hol-
land amounts to something around
a million each year.
There are 100 species of tulips
known and described today. All of
them can be traced to the first
varieties. The flowers with the
sharply pointed petals of the origi-
nails are still favorites in their ma
tive land. We have preference
Tor the more rounded ones.
These lovely flowers, no matter
what variety, are increased by the
multiplication of the bulbs. Each
end of the season will find the
single bulb planted decorated with
offsets, and these in the coming
years will mature and resemble the
parent. Those that do not flower
are known as widows"
(Copyrisht, 1889

Of the tulip was in a section ad-
joining the Eastern Mediterranean
close to the headwaters of the
Tigris and Euphrates. Some flower
lover more imaginative than his
fellows must have had a spirit of
adventure in his makeup when
he took the bulbs to another loca-
ton. Finding this success, the
planter must have had lots of fun
experimenting with bulbs, and later
We find records Of the fast-growing
popularity of the tulip in Turkey
and Asia Minor. Then it reached
Siberia and central Asia, China and
Japan, middle and Southern Europe
and North America. In the newly
adopted countries the tulip gained
favor at once.
1t was the Turks who bestowed
upon the plant the name "tuli-
pam" These people are very fond
Of flowers, and they count time as
well spent when evolving new types.
Money is paid willingly for rare
species.
Tulips were recognized as a great
commercial possibility in Holland
In the year 1891. They were also
planted on a large scale by a famous
herbalist by the name of Clusius,
who saw the possibilities Of selling
bulbs to the flower industry. He
had judged his market correctly,
and the tulip growing industry
dated from this time.
Prices for bulbs skyrocketed
Instead of speculating in stocks
and bonds men gambled in tulip
bulbs. OF course there had to be
. limit, and the boom in tulips had
Its zero hour in 1886.
However, people had found the
tulip a flower that could be grown
with little trouble. Brilliant colors
were always welcome, and though
the flowers have never had fra
GRANGE, their beauty has satisfied
their admirers. Prices for rare tu-
lip bulbs are high today, but there

Minutes later Neville stopped the

the group he had been talking with

There were three of them" he
said, consulting slip of paper.
Probably all farmers. One was
about 6 feet tall and dark-haired,
the two others were about feet

with limp. They're probably driv-

stared at him In amazement.
How do you know all that?"
The csahier and the two girls
have had previous instructions.
Each, in case of a hold-up, is de-
tailed to watch everything that goes
on in a small area near where he or
she works, remembering such things
as peculiarities of speech, gait, dress,

dow where they work are marks on

According to the records we find
that tulips have been the choice
OF gardeners for something like
four centuries. The fine tulips
grown in our gardens today are a
far cry from those of ancient days.
Bulbs planted for spring gardens
are selected as carefully as our
clothes. And the color effects that
are now possible through careful
breeding and selection rival the
colors OF the rainbow and vie with
those OF the autumn sunsets.

learned Of at least 16 Czechoslovak
citizens who have been arrested in
Berlin since yesterday.
One Of those arrested, it said, was
. man named Strihavka, president of
the Czech Sokol Club. Some others
were said to be Czechoslovak Jews.
The legation declared there had
been a few more arrests Of Czecho-
slovaks In Vienna, where IA men were
taken into custody yesterday, and
also at Chemnitz, but that it had not
been informed Of arrests elsewhere In
Germany.
German officials disclaimed any
knowledge of the reported arrests.

succession Of the most spectacular
trap shots ever witnessed over Oak
mont's bunkered acres, took a COM
manding flve-up lead over Pat Abbott,
Hollywood actor, half way in their
36-hole duel for the National Amateur
golf championship today.
Turnesa, 23-year-old bambino Of
the famed Turnesa golfing family, had
merry ride for life as he scrambled
in and out of the yawning, treacherous
traps but in most cases he came out
to win the hole from the lean, gaunt
actor. who shot away his few chances
by missing puts.
On the 17th Abbott made perhaps
the greatest shot of the week-a seven
iron that sailed 100 yards from a very
deep trap to feet of the hole. But
he missed the putt and got only half.
This uphill, dogleg hole was a
thriller and a heartbreaker for Pat

yard drive and into a deep trap, Pat
smacked a seven-iron 100 yards to
