Bandit Captured
By Intended
Victims
Bock-Seut Robber
Seized When Driver
Stops at Station

One more bandit was out of
circulation today, forced into tenn
porary retirement by the quick
thinking citizens who were supposed
to be his victims.
The 29-year- robber was held
by police after being outmaneuvered
and outfought by two men and a
woman Here is the story as told
to police:
The robber was lurking near
Eighth and D streets NV. last
night when Edward T. Farrell Of
213 Fifth street Sc, drove up
with his wife, Beulah, and entered
grocery store.
When the couple came out and
drove away the robber popped up
suddenly from the back seat, pressed
what felt like a gun against Mr..
Farrell's back and ordered him to
hand over his money.
Mr. Farrell explained he had no
money with him. but Mrs. Farrell
gave the robber her purse, contain
ing little more than 81. The rob-
Der then ordered Mr. Farrell to
drive to Bladensburg road. and the
District line
Shouts Warning.
En- route, Mr.. Farrell announced
that he would have to stop for gaso-
line. The robber, scenting a chance
for another robbery, acquiesced, but
warned Mr.. Farrell not to get out
of the car as they pulled into a gas
station at 1900 Bladensburg eroad
NE.
Mr.. Farrell got out anyway, ex-
planning he had to unlock the gas
oline tank. The bandit jumped out
after him and Mr.. Farrell shouted
a warning to the station attendant,
Irwin Schuman, 81, 1924 Florida ave-
nue. NE.
At this point, the robber-who
had been holding his hand in his
pocket as if he had gun-removed
the hand from his pocket without
thinking. Mr.. Farrell struck at him
and Mr. Schuman rushed to the
rescue.
The bandit was overpowered by
the men and thrown to the ground.
Police were summoned and two
headquarters cruisers-which we're
nearby on the recently established
extra night patrol-arrived in a few
minutes.
Detective Sergts. Elmer Lewis and
E. E. Thompson took the man in
custody. When they searched him,
they found he was unarmed. They
said he had probably pressed his
fingers against Mr.. Farrell's back
to make his victim believe he had
Cab Driver Robbed.
A cab driver was held up. bound.
gagged and abducted by two colored
men later last night. He was Albert
G. Van Horn of 1888 Otis place NV,
who picked up two colored passen-
gers on Connecticut avenue and Nc
Kinley street NV.
They ordered him to drive to the
700 block of Euclid street NV. where
they grabbed him, tied him up and
stuffed some dirty rags in his mouth.
The men then drove to Fifty-third
and East Capitol streets. where they
took about 50 from Mr.. Van Horn
anc dumped him on the street. They
drove off in the cab, which was re-
covered later.
The drive on criminals here con-
tinued during the night, with Is
suspects arrested. The men faced
questioning today and will be placed
in lineup before being released.
Police announced they would stage
big lineup at 7:30 pm. tomorrow,
to which victims of recent crimes
will be invited. At least Is of the
men who have been arrested during
the last few days-in a series of
raids on what police. call dives
will be on view.

Tropical Christmas on
the Islands in Hawaii

IT'S asking a lot to expect people
4 born in temperate latitudes to get
steamed up about Christmas in the
tropics But to children on islands
in the middle of the Pacific, Christ
mas is still Christmas! writes
Arnine Won Tempski in Cosmopoli-
tan.
On the outlying islands in Hawaii.
Christmas is carried in on horse
back, and the jingle of paniolos'
spurs replaces the imagined tinkle
Of Santa's merry sleigh bells. On
Christmas eve some inner part OF
me waits and listens all night for
the tramp Of horses hoofs, the ring
ing Of spurs. rich Hawaiian voices
singing above resonant guitars and
gay ukuleles; for cowboy serenad-
ers, riding from ranch to ranch.
Like cadenced meles, which put an
everlasting spell upon you, memo
ries of Christmases spent on the
sixty y-thousand-acre cattle ranch my
father managed on the slopes Of
Haleakala, the extinct volcano on
the island of Maui, persist with un-
dying vividness. A fair number of
persons, representing different
races making up the sum total Of
humanity, participated in them.
Americans, Hawaiians, japanese,
Chinese, Portuguese and their cross
ings assembled under our roof
Christmas eve. Each group brought
flavor peculiarly its own to add to
the Birthday of all birthdays.

Big 10 Of 1910
News in Year
End Drama

The ten biggest news stories
in the world of 1910, a year
blasted in Europe's bombs and
guns, will pass in review before
the National Broadcasting Com
pany's microphones, Sunday, De-
cember 20, from 1900 noon to
100 p. M, during a special
broadcast on the NBC-Red Net
work.
Certain to be among the big
ten will be Americas decision to
break one of its most cherished
traditions, registered at the polls
November 5, in returning Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt to the Tres
idency of the United States for
a third term.
Another will be the shattering
of the French Republic under the
mechanized hammers of the Nazi
war machine. Mussolini's decla-
ration of war, heard round the
world, also should merit place
in the 1910 news decalogue.
Selection of the ten biggest
news stories of 1910 will be un-
der the direction of A. S. Schech-
ter, MICS News and Special
Events chief. Schechter will call
for the collaboration of his New
York City, Washington and 9TH
er staff men in the United
States. MICS representatives
in Europe and Asia will cable
their own selections.
Vivid dramatizations, supported
by special sound effects, will be
used to re-create the events that
shocked or inspired the world of
1910. The news show, an annual
feature of MICS year-end COW
erage, will be written by Well
bourn Kelley.

Sugar and Water Stops Fall
OF Christmas Tree Needles

It's easy to stop the fall of Christ
mas tree needles. Saw off portion
of the trees base-enough so the
fresh wood will be exposed. Set a
shallow pan of water beneath the
base Of the tree, in which the base
should be immersed. A teaspoonful
of sugar should be added to the wa
ter. The water provides needed
moisture and the sugar nourishes
the needles, giving them strength
to hold on longer.
