Staying Of Prisoner,
Strike and Fog Keep.
AIcatraz Tense
Convicts Locked in Cells
To Prevent Escapes
Or Violence

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 6.-War-
den James A. Johnston and his
corps of guards waited hopefully
on fog-bound Alcatraz Island to-
day for a break in the weather to
end their strained watchfulness over
300 of the Nations worst criminals.
For two nights and a day-ever
since one of the years heaviest fogs
rolled in Wednesday afternoon-all
of the convicts have been kept
locked in their cells.
Authorities feared escape attempts
or some possible violence among the
inmates, keyed up by a convict kill
ing and a prisoners strike.
Din in Bay Spoils Sleep.
Although the general lookup OBJ
waited any escapeS-such as the still
unsolved 1887 disappearance of Con-
victs Ralph Roe and Ted Cole from
Alcatraz during a heavy fog-the
tension persisted.
Idle convicts in the long, shiny
steel cages. paced the floors. Out
side the prison fog horns beloved
and ships bells and whistles and
other navigational aids sounded a
continuous din on San Francisco
Bay.
Warden Johnston said sleep any
where on the island was difficult.
This Is nothing new" Mr.. john
ston remarked. Its happened be-
fore. We're just being careful. The
fog has been bad. Part of the time
we haven't been able to see even

routine returns to normal. Warden
Johnston said, the laundry workers
will be given chance to return to
their jobs. He declared he expected
all of them to do so.
The Alcatraz Staying occurred
earlier in the week when Rufus Nc
Cain, one of the convicts, was
stabbed fatally by Henri Young, a
bank robber. Young is in solitary
confinement pending an investiga-
ton.

Noun. A current slang expression.
Question: Exactly what is "oomph"
ard how does one say it'll. I.
Answer: First of all, "oomph" is
pure jigamaree, a slang word Of
show business. "Oomph," like Eli
nor Glyn's 'it," the later "sex ap-
peal" and the recent glamour" is a
word that attempts to sum up all the
physical charms of lovely woman,
the indefinable something that, to
quote friend who expresses himself
cleverly, causes you to turn and
look back at her and fervently
remark, Wow! If only I weren't
married."
I have noted two RECOMMENDATIONS.
In the flrst-the vowel sound is ap-
proximately the 100" of room. Phi
is pronounced f; oomf.
The second pronunciation cannot
be spelled Theoretically. 1t is said

tined to have a very short life.

1t was dark over by the farthest
grain bin in Farmer Browns barn.
OF course Black Pussy's eyes are
made for seeing in the dark, so she
didn't mind this in the least. If
the big wide doors had been open
it wouldn't have been dark in there,
but the big wide doors were closed
because it was winter, you know,
and so while it wasn't pitch black
darkness like night, inside it was
dim and dusky, and over by the
farthest grain bin was really dark.
Black Pussy knew that it might
very well be that she had made a
mistake in thinking that she saw
something move over there. You
remember that she had been sitting
in the middle of the floor getting
herself clean before going back to
the house when she just happened
to glance that way, and she was
sure that she had seen something
move quickly over there. She had
had only a glimpse, and in the dim
ness she hadn't seen what it was,
but she took it for granted that
it was Nibbler the Mouse.
Slowly, carefully Black Pussy
crept along close to the bin. Two
feet from where It joined the wall

their stalls. At last. after long, long,
patient waiting there was the sound
of claws, very small claws, some
where inside that little hole. Black
Pussy's yellow eyes grew very bright
and very, very fierce. She glared
at that little hole in the corner, and
beneath her legs were drawn up like
springs ready to send her forward

should appear outside that hole.
Presently something black came
out Of the hole. Black Pussy didn't

She turned and ran; and she was

feet with claws out landed on that
moving black thing. Black Pussy
had just time to know by the feeling
that it was furry, when it was
pulled out from under her feet, and
out of that hole. Right into her
very face popped q little head with
eyes so red with rage, and sharp
teeth showing in such an ugly
snarl, that Black Pussy jumped
back in hurry. It was so unex-
pected that it was shock to Black
Pussy and nothing less.

see, right in that corner made by
the bin and the floor and the wall
was hole, a hole which Nibbler
had made. Many times before had
Black Pussy patiently watched that
hole hoping that Nibbler would
come out. Now once more she
settled herself in patience, for Black
Pussy can be very, very patient
when she wants to be.
For long time she sat there, her
yellow eyes fixed on that little black
hole. She didn't move. She was
