 Police recovered such seldom swiped merchandise as radios, phcnographs, suits, overcoats and ether heavy goods. Loot recovered was valued at $500.
 Scientific stealing had its lighter sids, too. The culprit said the squad stole opera recordings for off-hours relaxation Once the maestro was annoyed when his henchmen brought back only part of an opera. He sent them back immediately for the other records.

DALLAS, May 30.-The Madcar Players, who specialize in such gems of the theatre as No Mother to Guide Her, or, Blown Up on the Bridge at Midnight" came to Dallas ten years ago for four-week en- gagement. They plan now to make their stay permanent.
 The stock company began here with a tent, and now has a $7,00O plant, all paid for.
 It's personal interest that has made the players and their theatre success. For instance: Once the villain forgot to put pencil in his pocket. Came time to sign the mort gage on the old homestead, and Leon CToby) Gum, leading actor and part owner, stepped down from the footlights to say:
 will somebody lend us a pencil? We don't want to lose the farm now!" ..
 The regular customers, who know the actors intimately, have taken a deep interest in their various troubles. When Jeanie Gum, Toby's wife, had an operation, the folks kept the telephone busy asking how she was doing and flowers came by the bushel.
 In the cast are Toby and his wife, Mack Long, Wayne Babb, Neil Fletcher, Jack Robertson, Minnie Fletcher, Jessie Adams, Ruby Lee and Irene Barret. Roy Hilliard father of Harriet Hilliard, is the director. The group was organized

troit farm club, in a 1889 spring exhibition game, Danny ran into 2 fence and tore a knee cartilage The injury seemed incurable ane Detroit released him.
 Beck in his native Ringtown Pa, Litwhiler moped and loafet throughout the summer. Then ht wrote a letter to Gerry Nugent president of the Phillies. If MT Nugent would pay for an opera tion on Danny's knee, and i turned out all right, he could have Danny for the price of the opera ton, the letter said.
 Good Investment
 Nugent now counts the opera tion as one of his better invest ments.
 Sent to Wilkes-Barre of tht Eastern League for seasoning last year, Danny hit BOT and was re- called to the Phillies for the last 36 games. His great play then earned him a regular job this year.
 I'm grateful to MT. Nugent and MT. (Doc) Prothro for giving me a chance says Danny. That's one of the reasons I'm going tc make good"
 Another reason, no doubt, is his bride. Danny was married last October to Dorothy Lynch of Ring town.
 Litwhiler's best season in Dr. ganized ball was in 1888 with Alexandria in the Evangielin League when he batted .369 and made the leagues all-star team He broke into the game with Charleston, w. Va.,' of the Mid Atlantic League in 1887, hitting .290.
 Five feet II inches tall, the 1s8- pounder sees great things ahead for himself and the Phillies.
 q can hit this National League pitching as well as any other he says. "As soon as it gets hot, you'll see the Phillies moving up-and I'll be going up with them"

 That goes for the whole team, too. When the heat starts slowing up the older boys, our club of youngsters is going to get faster. The extra step we'll be able to take is going to win lot of games for us."
 It was an extra step that almost relegated Litwhiler to a career of teaching school, profession he followed for one year in Alexan- dria, La.

 Most of the Madcaps plays are products of wellknown playwrights, but on Saturday night the company turns from serious plays to bur lesque, and the audience misses and cheers the villain and hero.
 Climax of the evening comes when Gum steps out of character to an- nounce that candy will be hawked. The audience is advised that it is a gyp, and the candy is no good and the premiums almost non-existent. So, of course, it sells.

TALE OF PRIVATE
 HOPKINS

One can find human interest stories in some of the most unusual places and about the most unusual people Take for example, Leonard Hopkins of Anchorage. Buck" Pri- vate Leonard Hopkins was in Bat tery c, 122nd Field Artillery, one time regiment from Illinois, that saw service overseas, says the Alaska Service Record, published at An chorage by the Army.
 To meet this well-dressed, pros porous business man of Anchorage, one would never suspect that he once had crossed the stormy waters of the Atlantic in a cattle boat that had been converted into troop transport. Nor would one suspect that he had been through the bat ties of St. Mihiel and the Argonne. When he so casually speaks about can well stir the imagination of any man who has served with the army either during World War No. or at any time since One sees long, hard days of drill, sleeping in tents, of frosty mornings without fire. of mess kit drill by the cook tent and that horribe torture of the old choke collar blouse-and should we remind you of those leggings?
 q
 The whole thing might encourage many members of the ADO who are slightly discouraged or feel that life is handing them a pretty raw deal. It is a guide toward the better days of days when they may walk among their fellow men and enjoy the pursuits of a comfortable busi- ness, the joys and comforts of a home far from the picture of strife and trouble. They may do this as has MT Hopkins. unmarked and without bitter memories. He looks back at the troubled days of 1917 with a twinkle in his eyes and a laugh at the many events he re- calls.
 After his discharge from the Army he returned to the sporting goods business in Chicago. Later he came to Alaska on hunting and fishing trip. That was in 1924 and he is still here. For few years he work ed on the Alaska Railroad, starting as a laborer and working up to higher positions. His first real job was operating a number two square point shovel for the ARR. In 1888 he quit the railroad and opened his present business that he now oper- ates ill Anchorage.
 1 So members of the Alaska Defense Command can perhaps profit iron the experiences of one time Privat, Leonard Hopkins of Battery c 122nd PA. And by the way, MI Hopkins mentioned that many for mer members off the Army are nov prominent business men in an, ] around Anchorage and Palmer.

AS we celebrate the four hundred
and forty-ninth anniversary of Co.
lumbus' epoch making voyage TO
the Americas, we need must stop
and consider what 1t means 10 us.
First, of course. II marks the be-
hinnings OF the country we hold
dear. But IL Is not that which Is of
greatest significance. Nearly five
hundred years before Columbus.
the Norsemen had been here, and
other explorers would have come
for the taking on Constsntinople by
the Turks had shut off the overland
route TO the East, and mon were
forced out into new courses and
new ways OF thought.
The Voyage OF Columbus teaches
us the value OF applied curiosity
Along the wharfs OF Genoa. among
the black bearded seafaring men.
Columbus had heard strange tales
OF land beyond the ocean-of ships
that. blown from their courses, had
sighted great capes and verdant
Islands. lie heard the half whis-
pered theory that the earth was not
Nat as the scholars in their shelter
ed lives had decreed. that n was

pers. he evolved his own idea--that
the lands were really the Indies.
And he had TO find out.
The path was long and hard -
and seemingly hopeless-all the
way from the inconsplcuous life OF
a traders son I'm Genoa Ia the most
OF Lord High Admiral Of Spain. He
was jeered at. and m0cked. and
scorned. Every path that he fol-
lowed ended In stone wall of fall
ure--but each time he started all
over again, determined TO find ont
AT last the way was opened. And
when II was, he was ready for his
opportunity--equipped mentally 10

That r. the lesson in Columbus
voyage. The power 10 find out. the
Willingness to see, plus the ability
TO keep on its the real secret OF
success. The greatest advantage IN
education Is that II teaches us how
to find out, how TO study and how TO
learn.
There may not he new continents
to discover-but there are oppor-
tunlties equally as great before
those who have eager minds. There
are no heights 10 which the man
