AS proof Of his far-hung power, ca
pone frequently left Chicago, even pur-
chasing Florida home near Miami.
Like its owner. the half-million dollar
mansion was a sight of the winter sea-
son. In thus tolerating Capone. the
American public set an unfortunate
precedent upon which many criminals
since have capitalized.

Thousands Of slugs from half hun-
dred guns riddled the tavern that
housed Capone's headquarters. The big
shot was absent when the attack was
staged and the opposition had shown
it's hand without result. The thrust
was traced to Hymie Weiss, a mob
leader who had persistently disputed
Capones claim to gangdom's supreme
command.

Within a month Weiss and his body
guard were wilted on Chicago street
by a hail of machine-gun bullets. It
took the police half a day to uncover
the nest where the assassins had set
UP their "typewriters" and by then the
killers were gone, guns and all. From
that day AL Capone reigned as Amer
ica's undisputed crime, king.

T axe Ny Word for 1t
Bv Fronk Colby


A note from Mrs. P. C. W., al
Junior high school teacher in Chat
tanooga, informs me that she is
having great difficulty in teaching
her class when to use like" and
when to use "as, as IT," or "as
though"
Well, if we ignore the monster
which makes faces at us from the
pages of our grammar books, it's
really very simple.
Here is the solution in nut
shell. The key is easy, and it will
always work:
If "as, as II, as though" makes
sense in a sentence, then like" is
incorrect.
If "as, as If, as though" do not
make sense, then like" is the
proper word to choose.
Now for some examples:
You sound like you have a cold"
Make the test: You sound as if
you have a cold as though you
have a cold"? Both make sense:
therefore like" is incorrect.
"I'll do like I please" Here "as"
makes sense, so like" is wrong
again. Correct: I'll do as I please
He acts like he was insulted.'
No, because either "as if" or "as
though" fits. Correct: He acts as
if (as thought he was insulted.
But:
I shall furnish my house like
yours. Neither 'as, as it," nor "as
though" makes sense, so the
sentence Is correct.
No one can cook (as? as II? as
though?) mother. Correct: No one
can cook like mother.
Another point frequently con-
fused is which pronoun to use fol-
lowing like" in such sentences as
Henry is like me, or: Henry is like
I (am).
When like" is used to mean Ire
semble," 1t is correctly followed by
me, her, him, them, us:
Henry is like resembles) me.
She is like (resembles) him.
dThis column simplifies and clari-
fies the rules" governing the use
of "like, as. as if. as though" but
my belief is that this is another
lost cause, and one for which I am
no longer willing to fight. Like"
is rapidly establishing itself as "cor-
rect" in all instances, and I have
always thought 1t to be q natural
and inevitable idiom.)

The registration of Civil De-
fense volunteers was most encour-
aging, as more than rs per cent
of the people who had indicated
their interest in the home defense
organization appeared at Shaw
High last week, Wayne c. Blough,
director of personnel and admin
istration, said today.
Of the 615 initial volunteers who
were asked to come in, all were
photographed, sworn in, registered,
and interviewed. Staff members
and instructors were not called in.
"This high percentage of regis
trants from our volunteer group
indicated a heartening amount of
enthusiasm for our program"
Blough said. ''In addition to those
who registered last week, we ex-
pect that other persons who were
unable for some reason to register

Air Raid Warden Choice
Civil Defense Job AS
All Volunteers Sign Up

will appear on later registration
dates" Mr.. Blough added that
these dates will be announced later,
and volunteers who did not regis
ter will be notified of the dates by
mail and in the Leader.
"a great deal of credit and COM
mendation is due our fine staff of
volunteer girls from the City Hall
and Shaw High School, who worked
faithfully for many hours during
registration, Mr.. Blough stated.
Il want to thank them publicly for
their invaluable contribution, which
kept our procedure operating
smoothly and rapidly"
A. M. Heavilin, personnel direc-
tor, pointed out that the one dis
cordant note was the relatively
low ratio, out of 10, of women
volunteers. According to experts,
feminine members should make up
60 per cent of the civil defense or
ganization, since they would be
responsible for homes if an attack
came while the men were at work.
AS expected and desired, more
volunteers were interested in serv-
ing as air raid wardens than in any
other capacity. The breakdown of
registrants by indicated interest is
as follows:
Air Raid Wardens, 1870; Auxili-
ary Police, 109; Clerical, 55;
Nurses Aid, 40; Auxiliary Fire
men, 26; Medical Corps, %; Driv-
ers Corps, 10; Welfare, 18; Com
munications, II; and other classifi-
cations, 26.
Volunteers still can register any
time at the East Cleveland City
Hall. The police desk is open "a
hours day, and persons wishing
to volunteer may leave their names
there. Later, they will be called for
registration and interviewing, and
then assigned to training classes
at latter date.

The United States Court OF Ap-
lpeals. though divided three ways
on its opinion, yesterday reversed
one Of its earlier decisions in an
alimony case in which all nine
Judges participated.
While the court was resettling,
lat least temporarily. the legal
lniceties at issue, the principals in
the case were marching YEARLY
into their 18th year Of litigation.
And even though Mrs. Irnna N.
IKephart, now SO, Of 1912 Eight
eenth street Sc. won out in this
latest stage Of court action. 1t is
still doubtful whether she will win
from her former husband the
E$8. 100 back alimony she has been
seeking since 1949. according to
her attorney, Jesse Lee Hall. of
7003 Thirtieth avenue. Lewisdale,
Md.
Divorced in 1896.
While all Of the judges were
agreeing. but for different rea-
sons. that the case should be sent
back to District Court for recon-
sideration. Mrs. Kephart today
was trying to exc out a living on
the support Of one Of her two
daughters. Her children, by her
divorced husband. were well be-
low their teens when she first
obtained her divorce in 1886.
4 Along with the decree, Mrs.
Kephart won $75-per-month sup-
port payments for the children.
Virtually from the outset her
spouse refused to pay up. but in
1887 under threat of contempt of
court, Mr.. Kephart paid his
|arrearage.
Remarked and the father Of
1.-TWO children by his second wife,
the husband continued until 1910
to meet his court-imposed obli-
cations only partially.
After 1910, Mr.. Kephart stopped
payments in any amount, despite
the fact that his ex-wife sus-
|tained illnesses necesSitating op-

The appellate court majority,
reversing its own 194S decision on
the point, held that Judge Nc
Guire should have ordered Mr..
Kephart to show cause why he
should not be held in contempt,
inasmuch as Mrs. Kephart's ILL
nesses, poverty" and inability to
obtain counsel to represent her be-
tween 1940-49 precluded her from
acting in time.

Lions Face JET Series
After 5-3 Setback

| The Washington hockey Lions
are taking a rest today from their
busy schedule this week, but to-
morrow night will swing back to
action against the Johnstown Jets
at Ullne Arena. The following
night the Lions again take on the
Jets at Johnstown.
The Lions had their two-game
winning string halted last night
when the New Haven Tomahawks
took a 5-3 game at New Haven.
Bob Palmer gave the Lions a
temporary lead when he tailed
late in the first period, but New
Haven deadlocked that and went
on to score three goals for a Al
lead going into the final.
The Lions then staged a come
back with Joe Shaw and Harry
Frost sending the puck into the

final minute when the Lions des-
perately were trying for a tying
goal that New Haven put on the
clncher Goalie Bob Mills was
lifted from the Washington net
and Coach Jack Riley of the Lions
put six forwards on the ice. 1t
was while Washington's goal was
untended that Russ Akin tailed
on a long shot for the final New
Haven score.
