' Just Two Kids Enjoying Themselves .:iv$ Along the Concrete that certainlv was a PRI&HT I PEA Of XcoRS To DRIVE THE NEStf CAR HOMi: TOPAV Mills CHRISTENING -- V'-s'* Thurtday, January, 14 MMMHMN 111 M HJI |t I»» Lights of New York ky L. L STEVENSON * That often used title, "poor, little rich girl," can be applied to Brenda Diana Duff Frailer. She's fourteen years old. From trust funds established by her father,- Frank Duff Frazier, who died two years ago, and her grandmother, Clara Duff Frazier. she has an income of $107,000 a year. That probably makes her the wealthiest girl of her age in the world. But before she can spend a penny of her income or any of It can be' expended In her behalf, there must be court ap proval of a schedule of allowances. The schedules and the 'findings are a part of the public records. Thus It is known that Brenda Diana will have $45,750 for her expense for the next 18 months. That means spending at the rare of more than $3 an hour, 24 hours a . day. But Brenda Diana's pocket money allowance is ohly $2 a week. • It Interests me to dig into the Items of Auch. an accounting, jfrolnjr so shows that the child is charged with one-fourth of the upkeep of the home of her mother, who has married again, That takes a total of $18,944.75 which includes $10,500 for fond Brenda piana'S wardrobe is . to cost $5,400. For her Vacations and traveling expenses, there is ab item or $5,200 with another of $1,800 for amusements and parties^ Books, toys and school supplies are to cost her $900 with a similar expenditure for music lessons. Club dues, with the clubs not listed, have been' set a* $600. She'll buy $375 worth of Christmas presents and turn a like amount over to charity. • * * Little rich girls, it seems, must consult doctors and dentists quite frequently since in Brenda Diana's' schedule, there Is an allowance of $3,600 for dental work and S2.250 for doctors and medical supplies. Dancing atftj skating lessons are to cost her $150, and there is a $6,750 Item for upkeep of automobiles together with insurance and depreciation. This is part of the budget of a wealthy little girl who probably has no Idea of what $107,000 a year means. It was amusing to those spectators who gathered on Fifth avenue. But to the magnificent lady In the limousine it was stark tragedy. Bouncing about as If the seat were hot, with horror on ber patrician face and her mouth open though no sounds came from it, she was a picture of terror. Finally the chauffeur, sensing something wrong, looked back leapled down--and killed the cause of all the trouble. It was, a wasp. "Home, Joqes," said the lady in a tremulous voice, aojd the limousine sped away. Times Square has Its first sidewalk cafe. It's right at Forty-second street and Broadway, the so-called "Crossroads of the world." Enclosed In a box hedge and gay with colored awnings, It extends 80 feet along the front of the building that occupies the site of Considine's Metropole bar, famous in the early part of the century. Sidewalk cafes are now so numerous that it seems a large majority of the population of New York enjoys dining In the oped. . \. - a Day after day, «^gray-halfed, welldressed man sits on a bench up on Riverside drive. To those who occupy the seat with him, he talks about the virtues of peanuts, holding that as they contain all the elements necessary for sustaining life, he lives on no other diet. Observers say he coihes out to Riverside park early In the morning and sits on the bench until long "after midnight. Then he goes down Into the park and disappears. Yet his clothing Is always neatly pressed and his linen clean.

NOTIFIES P9LICE OF TRIPPLLEE CCIR IME They Find Three Srtl_a i•n knJ*d Iwn_ former a Suicide. fcew York/--Capt Thomas Rowe was quietly doing his turn on the Newaric, N. J., police Headquarters desk at 12:30 a. 01. ode mrtrnlng when the telephone rang. ; 1 "I've just murdered "three men and I am going to kill myself," said a man's voice. ' "Where are you?" asked Rowe. "At 938 South Twentieth street," the' caller answered and hung up. Captain ifcowe marshalled detectives and police radio cars and sped to that address. The converging policemen found an apartment building. Neighbors told them of voices and four explosions in a 'five room suite leased by Orlando £e Van. No one answered there and the police crashed in the door. The living room lights were on. A body was ^n the couch. Nearby was a shotguqi In the kltch* en were the" 'bodies of three others, all riddled with buckshot After Investigating all the angles, the police were able to reconstruct the crime: Mrs. Orlando Le Van had died three weeks before at Easton-,- Pa., and bad left her $30,000 estate to her husband, fifty-five, and named a nephew, John S. Geary, forty-one, as executor. Charles Geary, forty-three, a relative, was caretaker of the Le Vans? farm at Tobyhiima, Pa. Mrs. Le Vans' body *j;as entombed temporarily but Le Van and his brother, Benjamin, forty, un^ employed, wanted it bQried in a site already occupied by Charles Geary's mother, who had died 14 years before. Geary didn't want his mother's body dug up. , Taking a 12 jgauge pump action shotgun and a .32 caliber revolver, he left his wife and two children on the Tobyhana farm and went to Newark. There he met Benjamin and visited a beer garden with him. They seemed on the best of terms. Then they argued about the burial. Returning to the apartment they found Orlando and John Geary and continued the dispute. The police found three kitchen chairs overturned as though their occupants had risen hastily. The fourth chair was pushed up to the table, on which were four glasses and an empty bpttle. From the position of the bodies police concluded that Charles Geary lined Benjamin and Orlando Le Van and John Geary up before the kitchen door and then fired into their backs. , Then he telephoned hia grlm mes- "sage and killed himself.

ROYAL COUPLE -AiSmfrnim- Fake Diamond "Racket" Exposed in Trans^l WolniaransStad, Transvaal. -- The manufacturer of "diamonds" from broken bottles has been revealed here by the confession of a native. Claiming to be head of the concern, the native revealed that the "trade" was carried on in several parts of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. A 30-carat Mgem" made in the process had been sold for $750. Working like scientists, the manufacturers of tlie fake stones take months trying to get the correct facets and luster on a piece of glass. Heavy-bottom white bottles are used ns raw material. When they are broken up, a piece the size of a quarter is taken from the thick bottom part and round facets are ground on an emery wheel. Diamond acid helps to make them more realistic. The fake is then heated in an -open lire and dropped into a bowl of sugar, where the sudden cooling causes minute cracks to appear. Water, instead of sugar, was used at first, but it was found that the cracks so caused were larger than those on a real diamond. Boiled for a few days in water which .contains old rusted Iron, the piece of glass assumes the appearance of a rough average-quality diamond, when the rust has penetrated the small cracks. • "" After further treatment with diamond acid, the fake is ready for the market. -1 When preparing to sell a fake gem, the manufacturers obtain the confl dence of the victim by opening the deal with 6mall, genuine diamonds. Then fliey produce the "big one."

Largest Real Estate Deal The largest real estate transaction In history was the Louisiana Purchase, In 1803, when the United States bought from France the middle third of this country--a piece of land five times larger than France Itself.
