I happen to know the man who was navigation officer aboard the Emden. Captain Julius Lauterbach, the heaviest, the fattest hero of the World War. I wrote a book about his experiences,, and recently put one of his most exciting adventures in a .little book called "Thrills," that 1»ve just got out. So I have heard a go d deal about that tremendous romantic cruise of the Emden. For me one picture is unforgettable. The Emden alone on the seas — at dawn she runs boldly into the British Malayan harbor of Penang. With supreme audacity she dashes in; biasing away with cannon and torpedo she sinks a Russian cruiser, sends a French torpedo boat to the bottom, and then once more away on the vast blank spaces of the Pacific. forei a:. In the weeK1s news from the broad spaces of the seven, continents come several odd and colorful instances oi tne eternal battle of the authorities against crime. In Soviet Russia the Red police seem to be getting on to a few cute tricks of detective work. There was a fire and an old peasant was found burned in the charred ruins of his hous . A soviet detective found near the body the remains of a pair of spectacles. He leai’ned that the old peasant had never usee spectacles except v.ir-n reading at night. That made him suspect chat the victim had been killed while he was reading* and that the fire was camouflage to cover the crime. As a result a gang O'f robbers have been rounded up and hiot. -«o-- party of French detectives spent the week in bring­ ing a loni , long chase to an end. They followed a man halfway around the v.orle, an escaped orisoner from Devil's Island — a man who got away from Devil's Island last September. He made tne traditi nui scape from that island of traditional terror. He fled In a small boat and sailed 300 miles to Trinidad, There he boar led a steamer and hefs been sailing the seas ever since, around the world, all the way to lar-ofr Shanghai, B ut the French etectives were on his trail. They followed him from one seaport to another. And now they've arrested him on the China Coast. * 0 : - ? In 0-:ins. police v/orl takes a. more terrible and ghastly form. At stations along sh the North Ohina Hailroad,p5ixRK neve been set up, and from these poles hang humon heads. That is the climax to the story of hov: a oa.nd of robbers yawrfe. went too far. Bandits are ooi.:.:. on j of coarse, in Ohira.

T^AStr^ I ‘ ..i afraid I have a particular weakness for stori 'i' tnat deal with treasure, buried treasure, sunken tre■ :"are, I like to tell them. Well, here’s the most romantic of ri'u It’s a project to salvage the treasure that went down with the Persian Fleet at the Battle of Sal-mis 2,411 years ago. We.all remember from our school ---- - HJ** Ac --- ^<rvO h; s.toriesAlww Jta»xAXerxfes,th.e King of Kings, sat on a olfen throne by the shore and watched his eighty armada . ■ 11 into battle with the Athenian Fleet terf^Themistooles. nine hundred and seven P '-rsian galleys were sunk on thtt ***^££"^*4 'is - ,-;tr: ns dey, s ad they had yon to Id quantities of gold and jewels abaerd. And now the idea is to raise tho-.e age-old ships from the oot tom of the CJulf of Sal amis. It’s : n Italian project. The Italians are out for sunken treasure. One f the thrilling stories of the pEst several years was how they got the gold out of the sunken liner The ShYPt . They also drained Lake Uemi and ^rcu.-iit to the livht of day the alleys of the KXEfeni ancient '"aj Ho:.,an gmperor Caligula, After that they fished up a Venetian .alley that had sunk in the harbor of Rgodes four hundred years ago, I guess that^ made the boys ambitions ? v d now they a. re thinking of those nine hundred and seven galleys of Xerxes, the King of Kin s. eg.-eek arch: olo lots don't think so milch of the idea.

Learned, Executive Secretary of the Society for Instruction in first Aid to the Injured. If Mr. Learned goes around telling this one to any extent, he may have to use some of his own first aid on himself. He tells a story about a pet fish, a carp, named Willie, that was very tame. Each morning iw used to go to the pond and feed bred breadcrumbs yv. to Willie. Maybe he also annointed rfchs Willie’s head with a few drops of Blue Sunoco. Anyway, Willie was an exceedingly tame fish. that was a bit loose on his finger. As he reached down to give Willie his daily diet of breadcrumbs, the fishwas attracted by the flashing of the diamond, grabbed the ring, and swam away with it. On the following day, Mr. Learned was at his usual place beside the oono..

At least so say trie authorities on the latest slang. The New Yort heralu Tribune today prints a recent investigation of tne new slang along Broadway, We find that some favorite old expressions have gone out of date. For example, you don't say t:It’s Jake." You say ’’it* s patsy.” They don't say "hoosegow,,! any more, or ”the cooler,” Jail is now called "the Swamp” are or ”tne college.” We/also informed that ’’scram,” is on its way out. It used to be ’’Beat it” and then it became ’’Scram,” But now it’s better form to say ’’Blow” as in — ’’Well, I guess 1*11 blow.” We observe further the euphonious expression "to cop a mope.” That means to take a walk. Well, it may be old fashioned to say "Scram” but that’s what -L’rn going to do, 11 ’ s up-to-date to say ’’Cop a mope” for take a 'walk, and I’m going to do that oo. So I’ll scram and cop a mope, and -- SO LONG UNTIL iOhORKOw.
