Cops’ College New York will soon dedicate the only college of its kind in the world —a police college. Not only the sci- ences, but also the arts, will be taught to criminal catchers. Fifty men, from universities as well as the police ranks, will form the faculty. The theory method, long the pet of writers of de- tective fiction, will not be taught. In- stead, detectives will be instructed in correlating known facts, One wag In- sists that the students will be taught coptie.

It's after hours and it's locked.” * ® . Unkind One of the kindest of all theatrical criticisms that have come tc my knowl- edge is an opinion of a certain actress’ ability that was written by a man who is now, fortunately or unfortunately out of the profession. The actress was playing in a drama which involved the theft of a pearl necklace. “They spent three acts looking for the pearls,” he wrote, “and from the way Miss Blank acted, I suspected all along that they were hidden in her mouth,” (© by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

The man, one Mukhagaluk, became paralyzed in the spine and hips and was unable to support himself. When his son-in-law, Konaiyak, left camp the aged paralytic became convinced he was being abandoned and announced his intention of killing himself. For three days in succession he de- manded a loaded rifle, and when this was denied him he attempted to choke himself with his fingers. Finally, on the fourth day, he prevailed upon his wife, Kaiaryuk, to tie a double strand of heavy cotton twine to a pole which had been stretched across the roof of the snow house in which the Mukhagaluks lived. Mukhagaluk then crawled along a snow bench to the suspended twine in the center of which he fashioned a noose, slipped it around his neck and hanged himself. Meanwhile his wife and other mem- bers of his family remonstrated with him verbally but made no physical attempt to restrain the head of the household from his contemplated act. The northern tribes believe that no one should interfere with a man's actions so long as they affect nobody but himself. The police decided that no arrests should be made after they had made a full investigation of the case. i a EE EE SUCH IS LIFE — Running a Risk = WHERE | COME FROM, WE FISH FOR DEEPSEA FISH, WEIGHING FROM l YoulLL CATCH OME SOME TIME By Charles Sughroe Albania Rich In Roman Relics Bye. — When King Zogu of Albania ssented to Premier Mussolini some time apo the superb marble head of the “Goddess of Buthrotum,” discov- eed I» his kingdom, he was doing mpe than an act of courtesy.

The Italian archeological mission, led by Dr. Luigi Ugolini, has unearthed antique treasures of great importance in that part of Albania which in Roman times was known as Illyria, or rather formed part of it. Hidden under many feet of rough uncultivated land, as archeologists suspected for centuries, there have been excavated ancient theaters, tem- ples, Roman baths, an early Christian baptistery of the Byzantine period and a valuable collection of Greek and Roman statuary and funeral monu- ments. For more than 600 years jtalian archeologists have been convinced that countless treasures of Greco-Roman civilization were hidden in the soil of Albania. The first archeological expe- dition from Italy left Rome in 1418 A second expedition followed in 1435. Neither had much success, partly ow- ing to the troubled state of the coun- try which made exploration difficult and partly owing to lack of adequate financial and technical means. It remained for Doctor Ugclini, after another partly successful archeolog- ical expedition in the early Nineteenth century, to bring to light the ancient treasures of old Illyria. According to Ugolini, there is still so much excavation te be done along the Dalmatian coast and especially in the zone of Buthrotum that millions of lire would be required to undertake the task thoroughly. The list of Doctor Ugolini’s discov- eries on the site of Buthrotum and in the vicinity is long and Important. The outstanding finds were the Byzan- tine bapistery, the statues of Augus- tus and other emperors, the temple of Esculepius and the remains of the Roman baths. Buthrotum, the chief site of Ugo- lini’s discoveries, is connected in legend and poem with the Virgilian epic. Vir- gil relates that Eneas, after the fall of Troy, embarked for Thrace and Crete, whence he proceeded for Buth- rotum, where King Helenus offered him a great reception and a warm welcome.

Whoever it is, the result is too often disastrous. Someone one day, in the towa in which I used to live, having been re- fused a loan at the local bank fer good and sufficient reason, started the rumor that the bank was on the verge of failure, and advised his friends, if they had any money depos- ited with the concern, to get it out as quickly as possible. The rumor spread like a prairie fire, and within a short time people by the hundreds rushed to the bank to draw out their savings. No assurance that the bank could give of its stability had any ef- fect upon the depositors. They were determined to have their money, and only through the sheerest luck or good fortune was the bank saved from complete failure. Someone had let his mouth transgress. Clayton is one of those confiding souls who can never keep important things to himself in spite of the fact that he is following a profession in which silence as to his client's situa- tion is a more than golden virtue. He tells his wife everything and she is elated over knowing a great many things in which the public would have unusual interest, since they are real- ly none of the public’s business. Mrs. Clayton has little discretion; she talks fluently and continuously, and she de- rives the greatest satisfaction in tell- | ing what her husband knows and has said and is doing and many of the things she tells are very private and | personal and indiscreet. She has nev- er seriously followed David's practice and purpose of not letting his mouth transgress. talk over his professional affairs with his wife, well and good, but she should learn when to keep silent. It is a great asset to have learned discretion in speech. My father was a rather silent man. He seemed to be content usually to let someone else talk. I spoke to him once about it and he said, “Son, I've never in my life been sorry for having said too little.” One of the most successful business men in the country—rich beyond be- lief he is—gave as one of the three characteristics which would lead a young man to success, the ability to keep his mouth shut. I've forgotten what the other two are. A friend of mine, who handles a good deal of important private busi- ness. was telling me not long ago that he fad a most valuable whom he would find it almost impos- sible to replace. “Why is she so good?” I asked. “She never talks,” was his reply.

At that time the equivalent of 1,000 crowns in Italian money was 5 cents, and the Vatican consequently refused to accept the legacy, taking the mat- ter to court and demanding the equiv- alent of the sum which Bakony actual- ly had intended to grant the Holy See. Now, after two years of discus- sion, the Hungarian court has de- cided to give the Vatican 70 per cent of what it has demanded, or approxi- mately $140. This being considerably more than a nickel, the Vatican has expressed itself as completely satis- fied with the decision, Not Complete Success A new cruising detail Francisco police force was put through some tests in the early part of a morning not long ago. A pseudo bank holdup brought the entire district per- sonnel to the bank in four minutes. During the following hour the pseudo fleeing car was stopped in various parts of the city and tests were pro- nounced a 100 per cent success.
