He confessed: That he committed 65 acts of burglary. That he disposed of all $20 bills and those larger by flushing them Jown toilets, "because if a kid of •ny age had bills that big people would ask questions." That he spent most of his plunder 'on the girls--you know how that is." Then he offered to wager, five to .wo, that he could open the county tUorney's safe, and when there were io takers, tried it "just to show vou." In three minutes the door wung open. To do it, he slit the ip of his thumb with a knife. Then ie twirled the safe knob slowly. Che wound in his thumb, he said, hrobbed slightly when the tumblers n the lock fell. And thus he got he combination. In jail he decided to "become a r-man" instead of a criminal. 'After all, if A1 Capone couldn't nake it, I can't," he said. "It's Yiore fun, anyway, to be a G-man."

N» Road Maps v In studying the problem of penetration of fog by means of various forms of light, a U, S. army officer, Lieut. Col. H. C. Davidson of the army air corps, had a first-hand glimpse of bird flight habits. Ascending in a captive balloon over London with a British officer, Colonel Davidson found that hundreds of birds were flying around the fog, which was only 1,500 feet thick. Strangely enough, those birds skilled in navigation, such as sea gulls, all seemed to know where they were going and headed in one direction. The others, such as starlings, were flying around in circles, greatly confused because the land was blotted out.
