the time.
do you want to know how I
did that?" Bert remembers his
friend saying. "I opened the cover
and looked at it"
A matter of quick hands and
sharp eyes. He told the club he
had seen a sidewalk magician
doing the trick in London and felt
sure the man looked at the watch
face. So he bought two identical
gold hunting case watches and
soldered the cover of one of them
shut. The man did his trick with
the unsoldered watch but when
Houdini quickly palmed it and
handed him the other watch he
was stymied

artists "the Prince of Showmen,' .
died on October 81, 1926, in De-

Montreal. he allowed a group of

cabinet was placed around the
boiler.
"Houdini's plan was simple. In
side the boiler he was to assemble
his little pipe cutter, cut the bolts
and knock them through. climb
out, insert the fake bolts and
screw on the rivets. tighten them,
hide the originals and the pipe
cutter and emerge"
That was the plan, but time
passed and Houdini failed to ap-
pear. The band played the musi-
cal selection a second and then
a third time.
Bert said he was getting nervous
and Franz was showing the strain,
The audience sat frozen in their
seats. completely quiet.
Inside the boiler, perspiration
covered Houdini's body as he
strained to push the cut bolts
through their holes. In the care
full planning no thought had been
given to the tiny curled f1ange
of metal the pipe cutter turned
up on each side as it severed &
bolt. These little metal collars
jammed in the holes of the cover.
Took Cutter Apart.
About, Is minutes had passed
since the cover had been riveted
shut. Then Houdini tried one
last thing. He took his pipe cut
ter apart and found that he was
able to insert one of the pieces
against the end of a bolt. Using
another piece as a hammer, he
tapped the bolts out, one by one
ITO my knowledge" said Bert
mo one ever discovered the fake
rivets. or. if they did. never knew
why they were there"
In many cities Houdini visited
he usually did one of his public
escapes to gain publicity for his
regular show. One of his stunts
here. which Bert knew all about
but never discussed before, was to
| be placed inside a burlap bag
handcuffed with leg irons. and
thrown off the Crawford Street
Bridge.
Houdini Supplied Bag.
"It was a good trick" Bert said
Harry supplied the bag. The
handouts were no trouble because
as I have said before he could re-
move any cuffs in those days and
he would have the cuffs and
shackles off almost as soon as
they tied the mouth of the bag
The bottom of the bag was
sewn with elastic thread, could be
stretched enough to give the
small, hard-muscled performer
room to wriggle through.
"The river was just about as
smelly then as it is now and
Houdini worked fast" Bert said
He didn't linger. And he made
sure the bag was quickly placed
out of reach of the curious"
Just Looked at Watch.
Houdini never pretended he
possessed any supernatural ability
in performing his tricks and Bit
terly attacked those who did
When he accompanied Bert to a
meeting of the old Pen and Pencil

it to different members to set the

He visited with Bert in his lock-
smithing shop whenever here and,
on one occasion, shortly before
the hot-water- boiler tussle, said
uneasily:

thinking up harder and harder

Water-B Boiler Mystery.
Shortly after that, the great
water-boiler mystery developed.
Harry came down from Boston

said Bert, I need your help in
getting out of a boiler. They're
going to rivet me in
"Do you know how you are
going to get out?' I asked. He
said. No, but I've got to do it. The
boiler is already on display in the
lobby of a Boston Theater.'"
Bert paused while his thoughts
went back more than a quarter OF
century. took off his glasses and
wiped them.

Back in his Providence shop the
two worked feverishly.

bolts and fake rivets in the hollow
legs of the frame which supported
the cloth cabinet Houdini always
used to place around the thing
from which he was to escape.
Next the conspirators made a
tin pipe cutter and took it apart
Houdini hid the parts about his
person.
He was master at that" said
Bert. HE frequently carried a
whole bunch of keys on a. ring
which searchers never found.
Plan Was Simple.

which are used everyday by hum
dreds of thousands of people, the
blow torch has been the subject
of intensive study and develop
ment.
Recently, a new type of torch
has been developed which appears
to be the ultimate in safety and
efficiency. This device weighs but
fraction of the standard torch,
it lights with a match without
pre-heating the nozzle, it does not
require pumping and can be
slipped in your pocket.
The illustration shows the
torch. 1t is composed of a hinged
frame or cage mounted with a
brass cap which contains the
small control valve leading to the
nozzle. The bottom of the cage
opens so that a can of fuel can
be placed in 1t and removed when
exhausted.
For the home mechanic or the
amateur repairman it is the ideal
torch. Professional mechanics
have already discovered it.

Coach Richard Bletz of Mt. Ster-

to the boys of Mt. Sterling this
spring for boys not participating
in other sports, as we'll as those
boys who do.
Besides some unofficial competi-

at the District Track Meet at
Delaware. Joe Brady, John Gal
breath, Gary Johnson, Dean Port
er, and Pete Witch competed in
the District Meet. About twenty
five boys altogether We're out dur
ing the season. Since there is no
spring sport for Junior high school
boys, it was added an activity in
the spring for this group of young
on-coming athletes.

at Ohio State the past several sea-
sons, and this year was added to
the list of officials for the State
