DREAM.

Why should you ever be lonely
Why should you ever be blue?
For some one surely will love you
No matter what ever you do
Never be sad and thoughtless
Remember each day and night.
While living only for others
There is where we find life.
Kind thoughts will surely bring glad
ness
No sorrow, dear heart, you will know.
Sweet dreams for ever will guide yoi
No matter wherever you go.
So dream and drive away sadness
Dream and never be, !tlue
Dream and live only for others
Your dreams will surely come true.

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-Headlines

Paris, where ten had been killed and
Is wounded the day before, for the
horrible effects of the bombardment
had been multiplied many times over.
A shell fell among worshippers in
st. Gervais church, killing rs and
wounding 80.
All evidence pointed to the gun
responsible for this outrage being at
least 70 miles away, for Paris was IS
miles from the nearest battle line.
However, in Washington officials
doubted Germans were doing the fir
ing from behind their own lines. A
gun with 70-mile range was simply
beyond belief. They suggested that
Allied guns had been turned on Paris
by mistake, or Germans had set up
a secret base behind Allied lines.
Yet there was gun actually bonn

; Only one theory seemed to hold
water and that was the robbers
were of local origin, who knew
every little backroad in that Sec
ton of the State and that some
where in the vicinity they had a
hideout so well camouflaged that
it would be next to impossible to
find it.
But other news soon crowded
the mystery off the front pages
and in couple of weeks it was
all but forgotten, save by the vic
tins and the disgruntled police.
THUGS STRIKE AGAIN
Then suddenly one peaceful
autumn day two months later the
alarm sounded again. The phan-
tom trio had struck again; this
time at Millersburg.
The radios in scores of troopers
cars cracked with directions and
another tightly drawn circle was
placed around the town. Within
the circle, bound by stationed
troopers, others roved the high
The Washington times., 1938-09-16

ways and byways, stopping every
car.
Under the plan that bottled up
MillerSburg, Bill and Jim had one
of the rowing assignments. This
time the car used in the robbery
was found a short half.hour after
the crime about two miles west Of
Millersburg.
That let's us out" grumbled
Bill. Their patrol was directly east
of the town.
"Well, we got to stick around
here until they send us some place
else," reminded Jimmy. Here
comes a car from the direction of
town"
But it was farmer they knew,
who reported the robbers had es-
capped with $4,000.
"Wheehw," whistled Bill. THAT
makes a total of $4,000 in cold
cash those babies have got away
with. They ought to be willing to
quit pretty soon and retire"
II reckon that's the only way

well ever be rid of them," declared
Jimmy ruefully.
A few minutes later Bill stepped
down to flag a car approaching
them slowly from the direction Of
the town.
When Jimmy saw it was a chauf-
feur-driven car with two middle
aged women in the back seat he
paid it more attention. A minute
later he was electrified to see Bill
jump on the running board Of the
car and with drawn pistol shout:
Put your hands up."
BILLS GOOD SIGHT
Jimmy ran over and while he
helped cover the occupants, who
all had their hands straight up,
cried at Bill, Are you nuts?"
Maybe" admitted Bill, but get
these people out of the car. Come
on, step out and be sure you keep
those hands up."
Keeping them we'll covered Bill
stepped up to one of the women,
who was wearing q double breasted

suit coat and reached for her hat.
1t came off and with it a grayish
wig, revealing the slicked-black
hair of a man about 26 years old.
well, I'll be :" cried Jimmy
as Bill stepped up to the other
woman" and lifted hat and wig
from "her" head.
Back at headquarters with the
prisoners Bill was explaining to
the delighted major.
when I stopped them, some
thing clicked in my mind. Then
remembered that the same car
with the two women in the back
had passed us on No. II not long
after that robbery at Forbes City.
It seemed quite a coincidence
to meet them right after this
other holdup, even if they must
have driven back through the
town after ditching the car they
used in the robbery. Then that
double-breasted coat one of them
wore made me suspicious enough
to want to look them over"

gestion that the robbers had
pierced the net that had been so
tightly drawn about them.
The search wasn't over yet, for
relief troopers were combing the
circle that had been bottled up.
but newspaper headlines already
were screaming, Phantom Bank
Robbers Again Outwit Police"
On through the night and all
the next several days troopers
searched the countryside, looking
in every barn and shed on the
Majors theory that the men must
have holed up somewhere within
that 60-mile circle until the "heat
was off"
But no trace of them were found.
The abandoned car they had used
had been left by the side of the
road, but there were no other
tracks near it to indicate they
had had their escape car parked
there. Nor had any of the resi-
dents in that vicinity seen any
suspicious characters.
Yet futile as it now seemed the
Major relentlessly kept his men
on the job, while he read and re-
read every report in the hope Of
catching some insignificant clue
that might disclose the mysteri-
Gus manner in which the trio
seemed to disappear from the face
of the earth.
But it all boiled down to moth
The Washington times., 1938-09-16

What did the coat have to do
with it," asked the puzzled major.
He had it buttoned on the
right side like a man. Women al
ways button theirs on the opposite
side. Why, don't know"
Il wouldn't know either"
laughed the major. In fact, I
didn't know they did. How did
you know about it?"
WELL" grinned Bill, my girl

night I had a date with her and
had to button the coat of her suit

the right side and she corrected
me.
Then I got curious and so did
she and we found out that women

why, but I figured those guys
were in disguise when I noticed

to take no chance of the robbers
getting past them.
They took positions on either
side of the road and tagged down
every car that approached from
the south. Every three minutes
Jimmy stepped over to their
parked car to listen for any fur
ther instructions from headquar-
terS.
It was an hour later when Bill
had just waved on a car contain
ing two startled spinsterish ladies
driven by a chauffeur when Jimmy
came back from their car to report
that the car used in the robbery
had been found on a back road
about five miles from town.
Two hours later it seemed GER
tain that the bandits had once
again escaped, but all troopers
were held at their posts. Not un-
til midnight was the Gordon lifted.
Men driving alone and with one
or more companions had all been
questioned closely, but not in a
single instance had any troopers
suspicious been aroused enough to
hold anybody for further exami-
nation.
Major Cunningham, as Bill had
forecast, was fit to be tied. Pair
by pair he questioned the troopers

BY cripes!" cried State Trooper
Bill jenkins as his partner, Jimmy
Henderson, pushed the accelerator
down to the floor boards, that
must be those phantomS again. "
Yes" agreed Jimmy, and
they'll never get away this time.
The hold-up was only 10 minutes
ago and this 18 plan will bottle up
every road in a 60-mile circle IN
lust about 10 more minutes"
PLANS VS.. PHANTOMS
"It had better work this time
or the Major will be mad enough
to keep us out on 24-hour duty
until we do catch them"
We'll get 'em this time unless
they really are phantomS, re
torted the optimistic Jimmy as
they sped toward their appointed
station at 80 miles an hour.
If it was the phantomS, as the
newspapers had so aptly named
them, it was their third bank rob-
berry in less than two months.
They were a bold and clever trio
who had baffled all pursuit by
simply disappearing.
The cars they used in their we'll
planned robberieS were always
found few miles from the scene
of the crime, but no trace of them
after that had ever been found.
It was as if the earth had SWal-
lowed them.
The two troopers were at the
crossroads that had been assigned
them under Plan 18 in five min
utes. This station was where an
unpaved road crossed No. IT, a !
secondary State highway that
crossed the State line As miles
north.
BY a circuitous route 1t was
possible to reach Forbes City on
the county road; hence this inter
section was one of the points
under which every possible road
out of Forbes City could be closed
by the troopers.
Jimmy pulled into the county
road and then turned around and
parked alongside it, ready to give
instant chase if the robbers came
up either road. They looSened the
pistols in their holsters and stood
by.
Although it was still too soon for
the robbers to have reached that
point, both troopers carefully
scanned the occupants of every car
that passed them from the south.
One big yellow roadster with a
youth at the wheel and a laughing
girl at his side sped past them
going south at a speed of at least
so miles an hour.
"THEY WON'T PASS"
"That son doesn't know how
lucky he is," grumbled Jimmy
Five minutes later Bill said.
"Okay, let's start stopping them"
They were approximately 80 miles
from Forbes City and while it was
only 20 minutes since the robbery
had occurred, he was determined
