BANDIT,
FACING LIFE IN
JAIL, KILLS SELF

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 Q.N.SO.
Trapped by police after a holdup
which netted him less than IS, a
bandit shot and killed himself
with his own gun today in the
hallway of a midtown building.
"Don't shoot me-" the dying
bandit called, "I've already shot
myself. I'm dying!"
BULLET THROUGH HEART
He staggered to the sidewalk
and fell dead at the feet Of a half
dozen policemen, a bullet through
his heart.
He was identified through h
fingerprints, several hours later,
as Frank McNamara, 81, with a
long police record-so long that
another conviction meant life in
prison.
The bandit was trying to make
a getaway after holding up a taxi
driver. Adolph Adler. When he
saw police coming, he darted into
the basement Of a seven-story
apartment building.
CLIMBS FIRE ESCAPE
With police in hot pursuit the
gunman ran to rear yard, vaulted
several fences and scrambled up
a fire escape of another seven
story building. Patrolmen started
up after him.
The bandit found a stairway
and started down when he met
several other policemen coming
up toward him with drawn guns.
Realizing he was cornered he
turned his .25-caliber automatic
upon himself.

Badly in need of a shave, his

Hughes had unqualified praise
for the new oxygen device, in

Mayo clinic surgeon. He said
the mask had proven very

''The mask is composed Of

Polishing Ethics
Pro and Con

When fine furniture leaves the
shop of the manufacturer, it's fin
ish has been professionally treat
ed, to preserve it's beauty-pro-
long its endurance. And from that
time on, this furniture is best
maintained by quality light-oil
furniture polish-frst, on the shop
floor of the furniture dealer-and
then in the home. This is acknowl-
edged and accepted as the best
way to heighten its beauty -
lengthen its life! But unfortunate
ly, many housewives coat the fin
ish of their furniture and wood
work with various shellacs and
veneers-using them as substi-
tute for a fine oil polish and rub
bing. And what great mistake
this is! For these coatings form a
false finish over the true finish of
the furniture; and rosin and other
destructive elements in them dry
out the wood-toughen it-leave a
sticky residue. When many lay
ers have been applied, they &C
curnulate as crust over the fin
ish, clogging it and clouding the
natural beauty of the grain. This
is the slack way to care for furni-
ture. If the home-maker really
"cares for" her furniture, she
will frequently rub on a reputable
light-oil polish, to preserve it
keep it lastingly lovely!

new 1ong-distance bombers have
plugged the "holes" this system left
in our defense net.
No Sieve Here!
When that navy bomber made the
trip from Honolulu to Rowland, it
announced to the world that Uncle
Sans Pacific defense was wall,
not sieve. 1t meant that observa-
ton planes, the eyes of the fleet,
could scout from Hawaii to the Aleu-
tians, from Hawaii to Rowland, from
Hawaii to Midway. It also meant
that bombers could carry their
deadly cargoes between any of these
points and get safely back to the
Hawaiian base.
With Rowland, Baker and Jarvis
islands now American possessions,
being developed for refueling and
aviation purposes, the United States
government holds strong position
in the South Pacific. America also

means "to take first place."
And certainly the proteins are
first in Importance. For they
are the stuff of which our
bodies are built. Without them,
there would be no life.
Every man, woman and child
has a fundamental need for pro-
tein, because it is an essential
component of every living cell and
makes up a large part of the SOL
ids of a muscle cell. Evidently, a
great many of the glandular prin-
ciples and substances, which con-
troll the functions of the body, are
also protein in character.
Protein is the only food element
that contains nitrogen, and next to
water, nitrogen is the chief con-
stituent of the human body.
Protein Builds Bodies.
A new born baby weighs, on an
average, from 7 to 71s pounds,
and the adult into which it grows
may weigh 20 to 30 times as much.
The vast amount of tissue neces-
sary to construct a man is built
chiefly from protein.
Once the adult body is built,
however, protein is not required
for the growth of new tissues, ex-
cept under certain conditions,
such as during pregnancy. when
one is recovering from a wasting
illness, or when an athlete is in
training and the muscles are in
creasing in size.
Keeps the Body in Repair.
There is, however, a maintenance re.
quirement for protein Which continues
Throughout, life, and Uhich applies to
both children and adults. For the body
may be compared to machine, on
tUhich it is necessary to make alloioance
for the i0ear and tear of parts. Protein
is the only substance that ,OiH rebuild
the millions of cells tohich each day
cease to function.
Thus, we see that protein per-
forms two vital services-First, it
builds new tissues; second, it re-
pairs WORKOUT tissues.
The Building Stones of the Body.
Protein is found in many differ
ent foods, but unfortunately, not
all proteins are equally valuable.
That is because protein is a very
complex substance, resulting from
the union of % or more simpler
substances containing nitrogen,
and called amino acids. These are
the true building stones of the
body. Some protein foods may
have only Z amino acids represent
ed in their substance; others may
have as many as Is or Is, and
these also may be varied by the
proportions of the kinds present.
Proteins Vary in Value.
Some of these amino acids are
necessary to build new tissue; 9TH
ers will not build tissue, but are
capable of repairing WORKOUT
cells. Some protein foods are,
therefore, more valuable to the
body than others.
1t is absolutely essential that the

spOnsibility of feeding a family

mobile races. The youngster had
never had on shorts and sweat
shirt, and hadn't yet seen spiked
track shoes.
So in his ordinary shoes and ev-
ery-day clothes he ran around the
track and surprisingly enough, won
that mile. Winning miles has been
a steady habit with him ever since
and he admits he has never had any
relish for getting beat in any race.
Since that unnoticed little race out
in Elkhart, Kan, Glenn has won any
number of brilliant track battles. In
high school at home and in college
at the University of Kansas and
clear down to the present day when
he is running under the auspices of
the New York Curb exchange, he
has streaked through track events

cifc, piling even higher the evil
dence that Hawaii is tremendously
important in protecting our west
coast. Without it, our first line of
defense would be the mainland
California, Oregon and Washington.
If foreign nations have strength
ened their position in the Pacific
with long-range cruisers and planes,
America is helping its position by
developing several strategic islands
as refueling points and refugees for
bombers. These include such bar
rem spots as remote Rowland island,
1900 miles southwest of Hawaii. Re-
Gently a navy bomber flew this dis
lance and return. The feat attracted
little attention, yet it was tremen-
dously important.
A few years ago, the fight range
of army and navy planes was $50
miles. That is, a plane could carry

it's base $50 miles and return. There
