Italo Cassetti, police sergeant |f;:;-.:s|dtached to the New York Black Hand ;r "squad, came here to take back to New • York Joe Napoli, alleged slayer, snld by New York police to be a leader of the Ctimorra. Cassetti had n return v ticket to New York in his pocket and toe planned to coftfer with Detroit po- $ ' 'lice regarding the Black Hand situa- H'VV'|k>n until train time. S,: ' ' Informed that Lieut. Bert McPberaon. head of the Detroit Black Hand •Quad, was out of town and was not r expecfcedb*«k uatU iftte la the aftoruoqu, he decided, to look the town over." At State street and Woodward avenue he was delayed when he got caught In a traffic Jam. Perplexed by the rapid movement of street cars and automobiles, Cassetti dashed diagonally for the opposite curb. Behind him the high-pitched voice of the traffic officer shouted: "Hey, Buddy, yer in a big town now, watch yer step 1" At last, securely ensconced In a jitney, Cassetti got under way. His destination was reached, he handed a dollar bill to the driver. The driver guv him a counterfeit half dollar and aped away. * At police headquarters, later, b laughingly narrated his experience with the smooth individuals who heir make up <W inland metropolis. "If I stay here much longer they'l probably steal my return ticket," fte confided to Lieutenant McClellan. I guess I'll go back today." True to, his word he and his prisoner left the Michigan Central terminal at 3:45 p. m. for the peaceful environs, of Uttle el' NTawk. Husbands and! Rats Thrive on Same LANSING, MICH.--if you want to know, girls, whether you are to be a success as a wife--that is, toe able to keep your husband contented) and home nights--get^a nice, companionable rat or guinea pig, and find oat. 'There Is nothing so much like a hus- %end as a pat, according to Deau Mary Sweeney, head of the women's department at the Michigan Agricultural coUege. "A husband Is like a rat because Obey thrive on Identically the same i#ets," she says. "For instance, if jou can cook for a rat and keep its •yes bright, its fur smooth and Its general condition good, you can do the same thing for a husband. When a husband is contented he will stay Wome nights and perhaps assist with Ifce housework. He becomes contented When he is fed on the proper diet. If you plan to feed your husband beefsteak, corn bread or pumpkin pie, try them first on a rat. The reactions, as manifested by the bright eyes and smooth for, will be the same as they will be on your husband, and by th^i same tokens you can tell your husP band is going to take to your cooking." That there is something to her theory is proven by the fact that more than 50 per cent of the girls who graduate from M. A. C. are married in from one to three years after finishing. As part of their course they experiment with rats. When they caii; outline a diet and cook the fcod that will keep a rat healthy and wise they" are close to the finished product, die says. s Clothesline Saves Five From Flames BROOKLYN, N. Y.--Patrolman Michael Palladino of the Fourth avenue police station, with the - Itfd of three knotted clotheslines, used a lasso, saved, the lives of Stanley Stanczek and four of his children, tanging in ages from two to eighteen - years, who were trapped in their home , »t 153 Twenty-fourth street, Brooklyn, When it was swept by fire early in the , iborning. : .Palladino was passing througn : Twenty-fourth street, when he spfw •moke and flames. HisWhistle brought Sergt. Frank Lizantl. Sergeant Lisanti went in search of a ladder, but ;i, Fatrolman Paliadino believed he saw « quicker way in three short clotheslines wtpfeii were jsfrung up In the ryard. .;»v : - -5V, He ripped down the-lines and after knpttlng them together he threw one end, which he h&d looped Into a lasso, to Stanczek, who was standing, his children gathered about him, at a window on the third floor of the bur&lug building. Stanczek put the lasso about his ^youngest son, Terry, two years old, 1 jjand began to lower him into the yard. Half way down the rope tangled, however, and Palladino finally prevailed on the father to drop the rope and he caught Terry in his arms as he fell. Then Palladino threw the rope back to Stanczek and two other sons, Benjamin and Henry, were lowered without mishap. There was some delay after this while Stanczek argued with his oldest son, Frank, eighteen, to slide down the rope before him. Frank refused until his father pointed out that he was lighter and the rope would be safer with him. Both father and son, however, left the building via the rope without disaster, Stanczek following his oldest son. The house was destroyed. Patrolman Palladino served with the Fiftyfifth infantry and -was wounded ti the Argonne. / Cupid Gives Father Time a Hard Race m k** yjpiiilCAGO.--Father Time and Cupid ran a race at the club meeting of widows and widowers. Two hundred men and women, ranging from forty to seventy-five years of age, were young once more. The gathertog, which was held In Washington park, was the result of the hard work Of Miss Marceline Stokes, a social , worker, and object--matrimony, v Miss Stokes Imposed but one. condition on those who joined the Widows and Widowers' club--they &ad to affirm that tney fulfilled their marriage vows and lived with their y thosen mate until "death did them |»art." Members of the club joined oe- , -cause they were weary of spending their last days unloved and lonesome. "Yes," said Miss Stokes, "the clu>> has been a success. Already eight tnarriages have resulted from our little gatherings and many more are in the offing." The founder has asked social agencies in other cities to es .tablish similar clubs. "We try to have our meetings once every week," she said, "usually Sun- -<y ccc day afternoon •, and how they look forward to them! Many have regular 'dates' in the park. Lovers' quarrels and petty jealousies are not at all unusual. Love is the same, I believe, whether It's engendered in the heart of a sixteen or a sixty-year-old. "One old boy, nearly seventy, was a regular attendant at our meetings. He was the favorite with all the women and broke up many a happy little affair. All went well until an Irate little woman appeared on the scene and shouted: 'Here yoa are, Kara, posing as a widower When you're my husband !"' Thii Neither Cheers Nor Inebriates « FOR SAFETY IN AIR TRAVEL The 164th anniversary of the birth of the Marquis of Lafayette, major general, U. S.

' '• " Find Log of Constitution Missing Document Just Recovered Dates Back to Building - I of "Old Ironsides/' -Following SAN;'-fg^ANCisco, complete check of the liquor stock ; of the army medical corps In the Presidio, a number of bottles supposed to contain high-grade whisky valued at several hundred dollars have been found to contain nothing stronger than colored water, it is announced by Col. Guy Bdie, chief surgeon of the Ninth corps area of the army. The investigation of the liquor followed the discovery of tea In the whisky stock of Letterman General hospital. The robbers had melted tbe seals on the necks of tbe bottles, removed the mim contents and, after filling with col ored water, had replaced the seals In such a manner that the operation could not be detected. The "whisky" was part of a shipment of seized liquor sent to the Presidio medical corps in November. 1920, by prohibition officials in Chicago. The discovery of the thieves is impossible, according to Colortei Edle, the liquor having been seized two years agA The liquor was stored In various warehouses throughout the country until its shipment to the Presidio. Upon its arrival the stock was placed in locked storerooms. An examination of the building has shown that no efforts have been made to enter. The checking of the stock was made after the discovery several weeks ago that eighteen out of sixty bottles of whisky In the storerooms of Letterman General hospital contained weak tea. As In the case of the medical corps stock, the bogus liquor was turned over to the government by revenue officials in tbe Base •'* - ^ J'&M TB1S TALES OF ADVENTURE Book Disappeared When Vessel Went Out of Commission and Officials of Navy Department Have Since • Hunted High and Low. Bbston.--The logbook of the frigate Constitution, missing for fifteen years, l.as been found at the Boston navy yard. High and low the officials of the de* partiQept have sought tbe volume ever since the famous old ship went out of commission for the last time in 1907, says the Bostop Herald. The disappearance of the logbook was a complete mystery and the department had come to the conclusion that some person had purloined the book and that it would probably never again come to light. Covered With Grlmt* Aid now, quite accidentally it has turned up, covered with grime and cobwebs, in the upmost corner of building 82, at the Boston yard, where apparently it had lain, with a lot of other rubbish, since her captain hauled down his flag for the last time. The logbook, which is in manuscript, of course, is very well preserved and Its entries are remarkably clear and legible. They bear the signatures, written In the flowing script of a past generation, of Capt. Isaac Hull, Commodore William Bainbridge, Capt. Charles Stewart, Capt. Jacob Jones. Capt. Otto C. Badger and other commanders of "Old Ironsides." Many interesting episodes and events are narrated in the volume, told in crisp, sailorlike fashion, with-' out adjectives or embellishments. Some of these occurrences have been forgotten and th3ir re-telling at this time makes a strange tale of the 109 years which have elupsed since the old ship has been in the service of Uncle Sam. The logbook tells, in brief, of the building of the Constitution, In Boston in 1794, and modestly recounts her many engagements and adventures during the war of 1812 with Great Britain, most of which are familiar history. Describes World Voyage. It describes, In detail, the famous voyage around the world, which began in 1844 and ended in 1846, during which the Constitution visited the Azores, Madeira, Brazil, Cape Town, Madagascar, China, the Philippines and thany other places In the course of her circumnavigation of the globe. In crossing the China sea it Is noted that the ship sailed through a mass of floating pumice ston^, which had been cast up by a spouting volcano in Japan. At Canton, China, the crew were called on to help extinguish a huge fire which threatened to destroy the city. The Constitution, in 1821, made • tour of European waters where, on account of her exploits and victories during the war she was the object of great attention and curiosity. After a trip of 46 days, under the command of Commodore Balnbrldge, she reached Gilbraltar, short of provisions. A detail of men was sent aphore to procure food, and "after a lengthy talk with natives." according to the log, they succeeded In bringing aboard oranges, apricots, lemons and vegetables. One rather wonders how such fare appealed to a crew of husky man-'o-warsmen after a 46 days' cruise. Arriving In Genoa harbor oa July 4, 1821. a sickness broke out aboard the ship, which lasted for two days. Maybe it was caused by tbe orabges, lemons, etc., being served out as rations. The log says that those who were not sick "spent the day in harmony and festivity" after the Rev. Addison Searl, the ship's chaplain, had made an Independence day address. Tbe may \vat» received in the evening from the sloop Washington, 36 days out of Boston, and papers from various parts of the country were in It. At "Port Mahon, In the Balearic islands, three men of the crew deserted on a stormy night, Oct. 5, 1821. A detail of 10 men and officers was sent out, which succeeded in recapturing two of the deserters after a three days' search. The third man managed to hide successfully, but gave himself up two years later at the same port. A Stormy Christmas. On Christmas night, while the Constitution was anchored in Gilbraltar harbor, a great storm Occurred. Rain fell in torrents and the deck of the frigate was swept clean. The United States schooner Nonsack, standing close by, sent boats and men to the vessel in case of need. After three days the tempest subsided, after causing much damage and the loss of many lives. On Sunday, after divine service? during which the child of a "native" was christened "Constitution Jones Nelson," it was learned that Thomas Worthington, a seaman, had been killed in a pistol duel with a foreigner over a pretty dancer In a cafe. A party brought the body back to the ship and it was burled subsequently, at sea. Many distinguished persons. Including members of the nobility and gentry, visited the ship during the months she spent In European* ports, and the officers were fairly deluged with Invitations to parties and other entertainments. The greatest friendliness was displayed toward tlie Americans everywhere. . The log recces that three men were drowned in the waters of the Bay of Naples, while diving, on the morning of June 15, 1822. The undertow took them to the bottom and the bodies were not recovered. Services were held for them over At the side of .the ship. On the morning of June 20, 1822, a brig, under the command of Capt. Poola Dablnowlch, Informed Commander Balnbrldge that on the previous night two. Greek ships had attacked the Austrian fleet and had succeeded in destroying the admiral's ship, having on board 2000 men. Next morning the Constitution readied the scene &f the battle and found hundreds of dead bodies floating around the isle of Tuuv, wJ»$E».it occurred. ^ In Foreign 8eaa. Wlnny months were consumed in cruising along the coast of Turkey, many ports being visited. At Smyrna the American counsul paid an official visit to> the ship, and was given a rousing reception. On the return voyage through the Mediterranean John Richards, seaman, fell from the maintopmast into the sea, and before a boat could be lowered "an undertow took him to the bottom." When the Constitution sailed into the harbor of Gibraltar, Apftl . 23, 1823,' she fired a "salute of 21 gunf? from the broadside In honor of the coronation of King George IV of Great Britain, which took place at noon on that day. Another severe storm blew up that night, and the next morninp a British frigate was seen hard and fast on the rocks. Fifty men were sent to help pull her off. Carpenters were sent to the aid of an American sloop which was flying her ensign union down and leaking. Another ship lost her bowi sprit in the gale. After four years In European duty the Constitution was relieved from duty by the frigate Cyane, the logbook records "In a downpour of rain." After an uneventful trip of 41 days she arrived off Sandy Hook. This was before the days of clipper ships and fast steamers. It took longer to sail across the Atlantic than to go to New Zealand today. During the civil war the Constitution was used as a training ship at Annapolis. She was again pressed Into service in July, 1877, when Congress authorised the President to supply transportation for goods sent by American citizens to the Universal Exposition at Paris, 1878. . j/k After a successful trip undeiSIhe command of Capt." C. Badger to France, made In 50 days, she was ordered back in 1879 from Havre with a cargo. She went aground off the French coast and .It took five tugs to poll her ihto deep water again. 8he Comes to Boston. At the hundredth anniversary of' her launching the secretary of the navy ordered her taken to Boston. She was brought back to the city and to the harbor where she first kissed salt water. Amidst cheers of thousands she was tied up at the Charlestown navy yard, where a great demonstration was held at the Old South Meeting House In honor of the occasion. „ After the war of 1812, with no record of the disappearance of the original figurehead that ornamented the bow of the Constitution, an idea was conceived by an admirer of Andrew Jackson, then President of the United States, that it would be a graceful compliment to the chief executive to have his statue placed on the bow of the frigate. The new figurehead portrayed Jackson holding a scroll on which was inscribed "The^Unlon, it must be preserved." No sooner had the sculptor, L. D. Beecher, begun his work than the enemies of President Jackson began to fight the plan. The Whigs of Boston scattered handbills over the city .bearing, in large letters, the headline, "Freemen Awake!" They prayed the people to take action against this "Wooden God, this image of a tyrant," and "For God's sake, to save the ship from the foul disgrace." i The sculptor was offered large sums of mraey to allow the figurehead to be stolen, but he would not consent The mattter caused such excitement in Boston that It was necessary to berth the Constitution be* tween the Columbus and the Independence, And to station guards on each ship to protect the obnoxious statue. However, a daring young marine captain from Cape Cod named Samuel Dewey, on a wager of $100, stole lqto the Uavy yard one stormy night, climbed up tbe anchor chain, unobserved, sawed off the head of the Jackson statue, placed it In a gtmny sack and made his escape. The next morning when the decapitation was discovered there was a tremendous uproar. Dewey later went to Washington, where he exhibited the head to many of the leading Whigs. Finally It was carried to the navy department and offered to Mahlbn DtckersoA, the secretary of the navy, to whom Dewey told his story. The secretary was furious and threatened urrest. He went to the White House with Dewey, taking thfc head wrapped in a bandanna handkerchief. Andrew Jackson, when he heard the story, saw the head and burst into uncontrollable luughter. "Why this Is the most infcrtHl graven Image I ever saw. The fellirv did perfectly right; tell him to ASW It off if it ever appears again," declaivd th« President. After the Washington incident Dewey was made a postmaster In Virginia as a reward for his exploit. The statue was found Just 27 years after its mysterious disappearance on the grounds of Jonathan Bowen At Wlllowdale, near Lowell. HAS MADE NEW PROFESSION Philadelphia Woman Makes Excellent Living Arranging Detail* for Amateur Entertainments. ' A pin-money career, for one Philadelphia woman, was the outcome of her refusal to drill some children for an Easter program. On previous occasions she had "thrust upon her" the responsibility of planning and preparing various kinds of entertainment! home-talent plays, cantatas, etc., f< different organizations. As this wo; required much time and strength, was offered remuneration for her sei ~ices and accepted the money, she has work ahead in that line all the, year round. She assumes the responsibility of miscellaneous programs, plays, etc., for all ages, for Sunday schools, lodges, clubs, etc. She arranges time and place of practice, and assigns parts to each one in drills, plays, dialogues, cantata, solo, duet, quartette, chorus, etc. Superintendents In the schools often call on her to help In such lines, and various organizations of the city. Much of the work, as the practicing, is done in her own home. She receives from 20 to 40 cents an hour. Free-will offerings from ' a church organization have also been generous, as the manner of paying her. HIS WIFE NOT WORTH $1,000 "Keep Her," 8aya Demetropolous to Hsr Abductor, Who Asked Ransom, Chicago.--The question of vM • really good wife Is worth has been brought up again by the action of William Demetropolous, who refused to pay $1,000 ransom to get his wife back from her i.bductors. William appeared In Judge Jacob's •sort and asked a warrant for Gas Granappules. William said Gus approached him Sunday night and put the proposition up to him. "I have your wife," said Gus.

Yoa con keep her," i * Tlien, he says, Gus poked a revolver against his ribs and said that unless William produced the $1,000 he would shoet him. After son* further argument Gus beat William over the head with the revolver and then ran away. "You ,wrfnt a warrant because he stole your wife?" asked Judge Jacobs. "N<\ because he threatened me and struck me," said the desolated husband.

Three new fog devices to overcome the drawbacks of mist and fogs to airmen are stated to be under discussion by British authorities. The first consists of the "laying along the route traversed by the airway of a powerfully charged«electrical cable. This automatically sends up Into the air a constant series of signals." By keeping his machine in s<ich a position that the' strength of the signals is kept constant the airman is assured that he is flying along the cable line. The second makes for Safety in landing when the ground is not visible, and consists of a wire, with a weight attached, which is lowered from beneath the machine; when the weight touches the earth the airman learns that It Is time to "flatten out" his machine. The third is called the "artificial horizon." It Is "a gyroscopic Instrument which shows an artificial horizon line always in front of the pilot and enables him to detect instantly when hte machine is heeling over too much sidewise In its relation to the real horizon,, which is temporarily invisible. A tiny model airplane poised above the artificial horizon line mimics precisely the movements of his own machine."--Scientific American, ; JACK FROST. i-n • "l Look All Right."
