It happened on one of those fla grant April mornings that seem to give the everlasting lie to Death, De struction, Trouble and Tragedy by rea son of a balmy, soft atmosphere and a feel of hope and life everlasting Joe and George were hungry after an all-night drill from a small sea port on the upper sound, but not with standing their hearts beat In unison with the peaceful pulse of spring. A hard winter was behind today was not only another day It was another vi?ar with all the rich promise that imagination is heir to. As if to paint the morning with the perfect seal of peace, along the road ns they reached the upper Bronx sud J?nly appeared the reassuring figure fa policeman In a touring car, with i wo men in the rear seat. The car -i)un easily by Joe and George In isurely fashion. The brothers did no turn to look after it. They missed seeing the car turn, just after it passed, and slowly trail iliem for several blocks. Without warning it spurted up beside the eavy-Iaden truck and a blue-clad arm waved its familiar, compelling gesture. Xo mistaking authority. The two men iij the rear of the car displayed !iiny detectives' badges. "Let's see your consignment papt&s your bill of lading," the policeman larked. "We ain't got none didn't know it was necessary," Joe offered in con iliatory tones. "Certainly it is! You ought to know that." The officer stepped onto the short running board of the truck. "What ycu got in those packing cases? Get down!" The brothers Brown meekly got down. Events ensuing puzzled the brothers P-rown exceedingly. The policeman ordered hi^ two detectives to mount ile truck and drive it to headquar ters. Then as the big truck gathered way, he ordered Joe and George to get in his car with him. Whereupon the two brothers, who could not believe that so glorious a morning could sponsor Trouble, em harked on a strange ride. A long, long ride—one that ended on Lancaster avenue, miles away, somewhere near the Indian studiuin. The scene shifts to Officer O'Meara, speed cop, on duty a few blocks away from where the truck was apprehend* fl by the laws arm. Two or three neighborhood bystanders who had wit nessed the affair, told him they had just seen a truck seized. It being a dull, early morning hour, O'Meara decided that he ought to of fer assistance and at least get the truck's number, if only to prove that lie was "on the job." lie pursued the truck at fifty miles an hour or better. Ten minutes speeding furnished O'Meara with the tail view of the heavy-laden truck. His motorcycle screamed its raucous cry to heaven as he bore down on the machine. Then something strange happened. The great vehicle suddenly slowed down, and two men sprang from the running board of the still moving truck and hotfooted around the corner of the nearest block. The veering truck lurched dizzily into a water hydrant. The hydrant toppled over like putty. The front of the truck and O'Meara were drenched in a spouting geyser of water. Resourceful O'Meara, wet as lie was, at once blew his police whistle for reserves. They arrived in a jiffy and the block where the two "detec tives" had abandoned the truck was instantly surrounded and a combing search inaugurated. It proved thor ough, for at the end of an hour two vigorously protesting "detectives" with shiny badges were dragged without ceremony from a basement. The masqueraders were taken to the police station and held for rob bery. About two hours later, after tedious walking, some slow trolleying and a couple of speedy taxi jaunts, the Brown brothers arrived at the same station to tell their tale of woe and loss to describe their enforced journey to the hinterlands surround ing the Indian stadium. O'Meara had just checked in pre paratory to going off duty. He heard the brothers addressing the sergeant. "You guys'll find your truck three blocks away draped against a busted hydrant," he spoke somewhat gruffly and closed the door sharply behind him. The curtain falls on the brothers Brown' rolling off in their heavy-laden truck, the seat beneath somewhat damp and squashy—rolling off to a peaceful, proper destination down town—their load of $.r0,000 worth of silks dry, intact and ready to be un loaded.

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESfl Youthful Lovers Made Victims of Unkind Fate One of the minor executives In a large New York office and one of the secretaries had been carrying on a se cret romance for gome time, although no one in the establishment was aware of it. Being an up-to-date young man, the executive, who shall be known only by his first name, Philip, to save em barrassment, carried on his courtship in a modern manner. Instead of writ ing her letters In the preliminary stage of his campaign he conceived the idea of waiting until the rest of the office had gone home and then speaking a few words Into the dicta phone she used. The next morning she would put on the ear phones and hear something along this line: "This is Philip, sweet heart. Don't forget I love you." But one day the secretary was 111 and could not report to work. The result was that her substitute, start ing to transcribe the letters on the cylinder, heard the love message and burst into laughter. Philip was unable to stand up un der the razzing he received daily thereafter and soon found another po sition.—New York Sun. Process of Leavening Bread Is Ancient One Leavened bread, or bread which Is made from distended dough, has been made since very early times. In fact, the leavening of bread was a practice known to the ancient Egyptians. They, In order to cause the new dough to rise, used to add a portion of dough which had been allowed to become sour. This old dough was called leaven, and gave the name to this process of breadmaklng. This leaven evolved carbon dioxide gas In the dough and resulted in the forma tion of Innumerable cells within the dough. These were distended by the heat of baking and the loaves formed presented an Infinite number of minute honeycombed gas pockets. The same is the case when yeast Is used. At the present day, thanks to research, more scientific methods of introducing carbon dioxide to dough to make it rise have been made available. Bak ers have the choice of three—1, me chanical aeration 2, use of yeast 3, use of baking powders. Ladiea Made Their Own Shoe* For the moment Miss Mllbanke Is still at Seaham, still earnestly writing poetry, and as a contrast making shoes. This activity was a by-product of the French revolution. Girls were, for some reason unexplained, taught to make their own shoes, and Annabella learned like the rest—apparently un der Clermont's supervision, for the magazine displays an advertisement of "Messrs. Milbanke and Clermont's superior style of cutting shoes for ladies of fashion." Shoes, It is true, were fragile affairs, made of the thinnest kid or satin. Poetry and shoemaking were part of the daily round.—From "The Life of Lady Byron," by Ethel Colburn Mayne. Organisms of Sponge Little is known of the life history of the commercial sponges. In some species, if not all, the sexes are dis tinct, the female preponderating. The young produced from the eggs are free swimming organisms and are still of very small size when they settle and become permanently attached. This must be a critical stage in their life history, for they are so minute that a very thin stratum of silt would be suflicient to engulf and smother them. As much of the sea bottom Is covered with soft or shifting deposits, the mortality at this period must be very high. Island's Short Life A submarine volcano may pile up a bank or form a new island.

Emery, coun sel for the anti-union National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, objects to the injunction bill favored by a sub committee of the senate judiciary committee. Mr. Emery is somewhat tardy with his expected opposition, but his pro nouncement is finally made public, as is usual whenever labor tirges remed ial legislation. Mr. Emery, in this instance, main tains his high batting average as a "fernister." In awesome tones he de clares that the substitute for th» Shipstead injunction bill is "arbi trary," "discriminating" and con flicts with constitutional policy. As an added reason why the bill should be opposed by every law-and order citizen, saith Mr. Emery, the "yellow dog" would be outlawed. He favors such contract "irrespective of whether there is mutuality and ade quate consideration." The objector recites the usual claim of injunction advocates that equity judges enforce law. BRITISH INCOMES HIT BY LABOR FINANCIER New York.—Cables from London indicate strong conservative opposi tion to Chancellor Snowden's system of heavier taxation on wealth.
