I'd Robbery Vindicotes
Victim in Story of Theft

Wardell Broadly. "a, Of 1916 Gil
rard street NV, was held up at
the station, locked in a rest room
and relieved of $40 in cash.
This time Mr.. Smith and De-
tective Ford were only a few
blocks away when the alarm was
broadcast. They began circling
the neighborhood but could find
no one answering the holdup
mans description.
Shoes Give Clue
They concluded the holdup
man must live in the neighbour
hood. Going back to their files
they came up with Hammond S
name. His home was two blocks
from the station. At Hammond S
apartment they were told by his
wife that he was not at home
Detective Smith, spying a pair
of empty shoes under the bed,
decided to take a look around.
I He found Hammond in his
stocking feet hiding behind a
refrigerator that he'd been pulled
away from the wall. When Mr.
Broadly saw the suspect he posi-
lively identified him. He also
identified a dirty trenchcoat the
bandit wore.
The policemen booked Ham
mond on both robbery charges.
Detective Smith said: I'm
going by today and apologize to
Mr.. homas."

The
Rambler
A City's a Thing
Of Many Sounds
BY JACK JONAS

Stop and listen to the sounds
of the city.
1t may seem like a quiet
place at times. But listen.
An airliner, its big motors
throbbing, takes off from Ma
tional Airport and rumbles
overhead. A car door slams
a bang and a click together.
Buses arrive with a hiss Of
air brakes and take off with a
building shaking groan. A
streetcar creaks and clangs its
way around a corner.
Tires of a passing taxi
whine over the asphalt. A
truck rattles loose barrels
against one another as it jolts
along the street. Auto horns
honk pedestrians out of the
wav.
A bicycle bell jangles. Tires
scream down a ramp at a
parking garage or crunch over
Streetcar tracks. A siren walls
dist antly. A policeman's
whistle shrills in an effort to
sort the other sounds into a
pattern.

1t will mean, most of all, three

That was the first thing that
occurred to their mother when
she heard about it.
The family's support comes
from public assistance. Their
income is staff a month. When
the money comes, Mrs. Brown
promptely buys $40 worth OF
food. That way, there will be
something to eat all month, with
four good meals guaranteed.

None Of the children has ever

Ten-year-old Peggy jumps at
a chance to make things better.

ANNAPOLIS, May 3O.-Navy
men who died in the Nation S
service were remembered here
today as the Naval Academy took
time out from its June Week fun.
While the day was a holiday
for the $500 midshipmen, there
was a brief but impressive cere-
mony in recognition of Memorial
Day.
At noon. a bugler sounded
taps, and the guns doomed from
the academy grounds in a 81
minute gun salute.
At just about the same time,
an even more solemn tribute
took place in MIDI Chesapeake
Bay. There, an anchor of peoples
about 10000 of them-was
dropped into the water in a
ceremony being repeated for the
18th straight year.
The py-dropping ceremony
is fostered by a group of Georgia
women, assisted by a six-man
honor guard from the brigade of
midshipmen. The honor guard,
all Georgians, are Midshipmen
Theodore K. Higgins of Crit
fin, James E. Lott of Newman,
Hoke D. Griffin of Americas,
James F. Patterson of Gaines
xille, William H. Ballard of
Monticello and Roy j. Rice of
Toccoa.
An academy patrol boat took
the party to the middle of the
bay where a Navy chaplain in
voked his blessing. Then, mem
bers of the American Legion
Auxiliary of Georgia let the
anchor Of peoples slip into the
water. The six middies snapped
to attention as the muffled booms
of the guns sounded from Annap-
Oils at minute intervals
