REY ---- Why We Call 'Em 'Cops" Londo Ex-Inspector of Police *Tgms Eiymelegint. and 1gs e ut Copper Vat London--Why is a policeman known Rs a "cop" or a "copper," as he is nick: named in England, when he isn't call- ed a "bobby"? The origin of the] term had been lost in the mists of antiquity, until an ex-inspector of the City of Londen p: lice, George F.| .Allen, revealed it, as he has just done, in a letter to the London Star. The policeman, he tells an ahxiods world, takes his nickname from a kitchen copper, the huge laundry vat without which: no English kitchen used to be complete. Ages ago, according to the story, a certain policeman was courting a cook in her mistress's kitchen. Just as he was devouring a rabbit ple the mistress was heard approaching and "Robert," in dismay, was hidden in the "Copper." ~The mistress gave im- mediate orders that the fire under the copper be lighted for the week's wash, which caused lively consternation. | _ From that day until this, Mr, Allen contends, 'the word "copper" and its' abbreviation "cop" have been 'as: ~ soclaf ted with the idea of policemen. | Mr, Allen supports his story by pointing out 'that until a few years ago South London had a public house called "The Joe in the Copper," over the door of which was an'oil painting}. depicting the alleged historic inck FOUR MEN CAST. +|their talents outside FIosiite IPN to 32 Sisal. lues, oni the Anchor Donaldson steamer Service antic steamer to ---. wholesome nour- | Luxmi --.

Case Like Solomon's Up to French Judge Real Mother Demands Foster Mother Give 'Back Child Sold into Adoption Paris.--A problem comparable to the famous one solved by King Solo- mon must be decided by Judge Vallee in the small town of Auversurcise, not far from Paris, when he determines which of two French women Is legal ly the "mother" of Emilienne Desen- clos, a pretty French child now nearly two years old. The actual mother is Elvire Gla- dieux, whose husband is a gardener, and she is the mother of two other children. At the time Emilienne was expected to be born Mme. Gladfeux's husband was sick and out of work and she was desperately poor. Meeting a friend of hers, Emillenne Desenclos, she agreed to sell the child for the sum of 300 francs and bring it into the world under the latter's name. . The money was, paid and the transaction carried out apparently to the satisfaction of both parties. A short while ago, however, Mme. Gladieux décided that she wanted the child back. . Mme. Desenclos refused to give her up, saying that she paid ithe money in good faith, had cared for the child for more than a year and that she now loves it as her own. So Mme. Gladieux instituted suit.

EE ey E., ntees ing some 15 to 18 days earlier, Looks Likely. On the farm of the wheat wizard stands one plot of the "mystery wheat," which, although it looks dead ripe and ready to cut, has been left standing. From this plot Trelle hopes to develop a wheat that will harden in the straw and reduce its moisture content sufficiently to permit of first- class marketing. This grain ripens early and thereby almost eliminates the danget from frost that would seri- ously damage Marquis just before ft is ready to cut, Some heads of the "mystery wheat," on being examined, I were found dead ripe, untouched by | recent frosts an da light snow, and | 80 hard that when bitten the kernels literally snapped.

He | thought that it was easily on a par | with Marquis, and, furthermore, it ap- pears to bea wheat that can be mixed | land markéted with Marquis without | lowering the standard. "A combine | wheat, that is, one that will not shat- ter readily and can therefore be har- vested with a combine," he said, "which gives the promise this does, | gréater profit per bushel than any method." Mystery wheat does not yield quite as much as Marquis, but! this is offset by the fact that it is safer and can be handled so much more economically.
