The House on the Hudson
Q EVEKAL years ago Chief Flynn, of
^ the United States Secret service,
discovered that counterfeit $2 bills
were being circulated in large quanti-
ties in the eastern part of the country.
His search first led him to Philadel-
phia, but the trail was imperfect and
he returned to New York, where he
finally located some of the men who
were passing the bad money.
A general raid in various sections
led to the arrest of twenty men. most
of them Italians.
This was very well, as far as It
went, but it did not go far enough for
the detective.
His desire was to find the men who
were manufacturing the money, and
eventually he got a clue which made
him believe that the plant of the con-
spirators was located in a town on the
Hudson river in New York state.
He went there and discovered what
was called, in the language of the
department, a deserted house.
It was not actually deserted, be-
cause an aged Italian and his wife were
living there, and when they learned
the mission of Mr. Flynn they vigor-
ously protested their innocence of any
wrongdoing.
But paper and ink had been shipped
to this town of Highland, and when
he made a search of the. premises he
discovered dies and other tools used
in the making of counterfeit money.
He decided not to arrest the old
couple, feeling that premature action
might enable the real culprits to es-
cape.
He returned to New York again and
in the course of a few weeks man-
aged to get on the trail of two men
who were known to be in the business
of making bogus money.
Salvatore Cueno and Vincent Gagho
were the suspected ones, and it did
not take long to satisfy the secret
service man that they were connected
with the deserted house on the Hud-
son and knew something about the $2
bills which were being circulated in
the Eastern cities.
They were shadowed day and night.
The chief spent his days in his
office laying his plans and his eve-
nings in gathering evidence.
One morning one of his men called
at the office and told him that the
suspects knew they were being shad-
owed, and had been heard making
threats against him.
He shut his lips grimly and decided
upon his plan of action.
The threat which had come to him
was regarded as a challenge.
Flynn accepted it.
That night he started out as usual,
but instead of pursuing his usual
round of investigation he made
straight for the saloon where he was
likely to find the two men he was in-
terested in.
It was the sort of thing that re-
quired nerve, but anyone who is ac-
quainted with this great detective
knows that he is not deficient in cour-
age.
The door of the place was shut and
locked.
lie knocked on the panels and de-
manded admittance.
The door was opened on a crack,
Flynn pushed his way in, and found
that the saloon was crowded with a
motley assemblage of men and boys,
most of whom were easily recogniz-
able as inhabitants of the underworld.
His dramatic entrance filled them
with awe.
For some moments they stood there
looking at him without saying a word.
Before they had time to recover
from their surprise be pulled a revol-
ver and shouted:
“Hands up, everybody!”
He had planned all of this before
he entered the place.
He knew the psychology of crowds.
He knew, especially, the kind of
men he would have to deal with.
The result was exactly what he had
anticipated.
Every man in the saloon raised his
hands, and the next moment a corps
of assistants rushed into the place and
placed the men under arrest. Among
them were the two men he was after.
They were taken before a United
States commissioner and held for trial.
When the trial took place some time
later the evidence was so complete
and conclusive that they were prompt-
ly convicted and sentenced to long
terms in the penitentiary.
Most of the other persons caught in
the raid were released, hut it is a sig-
nificant fact that the manufacturing
and circulation of the counterfeit hills
ceased from that time.
It was a clever piece of detective
work, involving keen headwork and
personal courage.

Iron Age Relic* Are Found
Relics of an early iron age have
been found in the caves at Baliintoy,
northern Ireland, by a group of arche-
ologists under Dr. J, Wilfrid Jackson
of the Manchester museum. The most
remarkable and unique find was a
roughly finished female figure in baked
clay, which was similar to some of the
clay figures of Crete and other Med-
iterranean places of ancient times. A
fireplace, built of large ■water-worn
stones was unearthed at a depth of
six feet. It was partially surrounded
by a wall of similar stones. Among
the worked bones were plercer3 and
needles, including a very fine polished
needle about two inches long, with a
perfectly formed eye.

Ingenious Solution of
Daytime “Nap” Problem
D1 WAY of keeping properly in-
D formed as to the high-spots which
loom on fashion’s horizon, let’s talk
about lace. It is not only that the fu-
ture of lace looks wonderfully bright
and promising but lace in the scheme
of st.vles-current is playing a most out-
standing role.
Lace in an endless variety of new
and unusual weaves and textures is
being used in ways we would not have
dreamed of a generation ago—not only
for dresses and negligees, which be-
speak romance and leisure and pret-
tily feminine wiles, hut for tailored
suits and blouses and various apparel
for the more practical hours, lace reg-
isters as dependably wearable and
chic. Then, too, one of the most fas-
cinating chapters being written into
the story of fashions present and com-
ing has to do with shoes, handbags and
gloves which are ingeniously styled
of lace.
It goes without saying, that in this
emphasis given to lace for every oc-
casion there needs must be a right
lace for the right time and place, as
we now have laces at our disposal
as filmy and fragile as cobwebs, laces
as sturdy and wearable as tweeds, and
in tune with the trend to elegance
comes along this season rich and lus-
trous laces shot with gold and silver
or sparkling with glitter of sequin em-
bellishment.
Lace blouses are particularly high-
lighted in the present mode. We are
picturing three which will add variety
and Interest to the winter velvet or
cloth suit, making it ap-
propriate for any more
or less informal occa-
sion. The lines are as
smart and new as the
laces which fashion
them.
To the left in the
group we have a trig
little blouse, smart, tai-
lored and youthful. In-
teresting, too, because
of the very new fabric-
like lace—gold snot metal zephyr lace
knit—and it comes in a wide choice of
colors such as candy beige, clay rust,
Chinese coral and mahogany brown.
The lace blouse with the polka dot
pattern gives just the right accent
when you don't care to look too tai-
lored. Soft, feminine and quite new In
line and medium is this woolette lace
lilouse.
If you want a blouse to dress up
your suit for an afternoon bridge or a
matinee or three o’clock musioale,
here’s the very thing centered in the
picture—a fine Aiencon lace in a
thoroughly wearable style.
The new lace tunics are wonderfully
good looking. Whether in the modish
dark colored laces, wine, hunter’s
green, rust brown or In the delectable
ice blue, blush pink or pale cham-
pagne tints, these knee-length blouses
are fascinating. Wear them over a
velvet or crepe skirt or that which Is
the last word in chic—a sheer skirt
knife pleated all around, for evening.
If you want to be assured of al-
ways looking beautifully gowned dur-
ing the formal after-five hours enrich
your wardrobe to the extent of one
exquisite black lace gown. The filmy
Chantilly black laces are competing
with the heavier grandiose Spanish
types at present To vary the appear-
ance of the black lace dress of your
choice have it made with a neckline
which lends Itself to jewelled clips,
also to the wearing of flowers across
the front neckline.

“BLANKET” COAT
By C'HERIE NICHOLAS
NET IS FAVORITE
AS WINTER FABRIC
Fashion designers are well aware
that many women aren’t satisfied un-
less they are wearing furs in summer
and filmy garments in snowstorms. So
for winter evenings, they are recom-
mending the most transparent of fab-
rics, net The most arresting model,
seen in a representative collection,
is designed along shirtwaist lines and
has silver cross bars to decorate the
net. A turnover collar with ruffled
edge, short sleeves with ruffled cuffs
and a skirt which bunches its buoyancy
at either side, are noteworthy features
of the mode.
A square dotted mesh is the most
old-fashioned of all the netted themes
to appear this season. An overblouse
of this quaint stuff is recommended
to cover a simple but juke formal
black crepe evening gown.
tlere s the latest thing in tne way of
a sports and practical daytime coat
Schiaparelli makes this dashing modtel
of a brilliant red, green and bhie plaid
blanket wool. It is shown here worn
over a dark blue one-piece wool dress.
The flaring lines are very new.
Cape* Carry On
Obviously the small round cape Is
carrying over for spring. Hardly a day
model is shown without one, and the
little evening cape is practically In-
evitable. Elbow or walst-lenctb Is the
size of them.
New Bodice Treatment Is
Seen in Late Collections
The bloused silhouette has been
gradually growing in importance and
gives promise of coining through in an
important way. Lelong and Molyneux
both showed the bodice that is bloused
at the buck.
Collections prepared for resort wear
are playing up the bloused bodice, in
all-round and just-at-tlie-back treat-
ments ; the resort groups suggest It
in sportsy versions, which will doubt-
less have much to do with its ac-
ceptance. Shirrings and smockings are
important In gaining the bloused line,
Introduced in yokes and sections, the
smockings not to be confused with the
peasant blouse type.
Dainty Footwear
If milady intends driving her car to
the parly when she is wearing delicate
slippers, she would be wise to wear an
old pair of slippers and change in the
ear before going in to the party. An
unexpected smudge of oil or grease
could ruin the whole afternoon.
The purpose of John in this epistle
is to furnish criteria by which one may
know beyond a peradveuture that he
has eternal life (see I John 5:13). In
working out his purpose he sets down j
a definite thesis in chapter 1. verses
1-4. which is that eternal life was man-
ifested to credible witnesses—John and
his fellow apostles—in the person of
Jesus Christ. Through the incarnation
Jesus Christ has become identified with
the human race, so that those who be-
lieve in him are introduced to the Fa-
ther, resulting In a vital fellowship.
The saved one has fellowship with God,
or fellowship in the life eternal. The
entire epistle is devoted to the exhibi-
tion of tests by which one can surely
know that he is saved. The lesson
unit for today is the culmination of
these tests.
I. Believes That Jesus Is the Christ
(v. 1).
Such faith is the proof of regener-
ation. He not merely believes in the
ethics of Jesus, but that the historic
Jesus is tiie Messiah of God—the Son
of God come in the flesh. The one
lacking this belief is still unregenerate,
regardless of his pretensions. Jesus
Christ Is the giver of eternal life. Yea,
he is, in his very essential being, eter-
nal life. Therefore, the one who be-
lieves in him as manifest in the flesh
is born of God.
II. Loves the Children of God (v. 1).
The one born of God loves those who
are born of God. The unfailing test
of fellowship with God is that we love
those who are born of God. Love for
God shows itself in loving God's chil-
dren.
III. Keeps God's Commandments
(vv. 2, 3).
This is filial, not legal obedience. We
do not keep God’s commandments in
order to become his children, but be-
cause we possess his nature. Obedi-
ence is the unfailing proof of the di-
vine birth.
IV. Overcomes the World (vv. 4, 5).
Conflict for the regenerate man is
absolutely certain. The world’s ways
are opposed to God. By the world is
meant all that is opposed to God. It
includes all the lusts of the flesh which
respond to the enticements of the
world. It also includes Satan, the
prince of this world. The one who be-
lieves that Jesus is the son of God is
born of God and has Jesus Christ liv-
ing in him. Therefore, he overcomes
the world, because he has in him one
who is greater than Satan. Faith in
Jesus Christ is the weapon by means
of which victory is realized. The vic-
torious life is the absolute test of be-
ing a Christian.
V. The Grounds of Christian Belief
(vv. 6-12).
Since victory over the world Is se-
cured by faith in Jesus as the Son of
God, it is important that we know the
grounds upon which such belief is
based. The believer’s faith rests upon
the threefold testimony of the Spirit,
the water, and the blood.
1. The Spirit is the Holy Spirit, the
third member of the Godhead. His
supreme business is to make Christ
real. This he does to the spirit of the
believer (Bom. 8:1(5), and to the woiTd,
through the Word of God and through
the lives and testimony of believers.
2. The water is his baptism at the
Jordan. By baptism he formally en-
tered upon his mediatorial work. It
was here that the Spirit came upon
him in the form of a dove, and that
the Father acknowledged him as his
Son.
3. The blood is lhat of the Cross,
in the act of baptism he dedicated him-
self to that task of making full a right-
eousness for man on the cross of Cal-
vary. This is doubtless what is meant
by “fulfilling all righteousness.” His
baprksin and the crucifixion, with ail
that ttiey signified, were proofs that
Jesus was the very Son of God. The
witness of the cross of Christ Is still
gripping and saving men.
Children as Teacher*
The child in the cradle is God’s child.
How. then, shall we take this little
child? We will take him as one who
hrings a new revelation to us. The
children are the great teachers. They
bring a new revelation of God and his
love.
ROBERTA EARLE WINDSOR, Na- |
tional Kindergarten association,
New York.
The problem of the daytime nap
nearly had us beaten. Our little Mol-
ly, just three and a half, was so am-
bitious, so interested in everything
and so afraid that she would miss
out on something, that she just
couldn’t find time to sleep during the
daytime. We tried all of the usual
means of luring her off to a daylight
dreamland with but little success.
Then one day in a children’s shop I
found the solution to this trouble-
some problem.
The solution was in the form of a
little pink rayon crepe nightie. It
had all the luster of crepe de cliine
and was trimmed with hands of tur-
quoise blue. Molly loves silk and I
had an idea that the purchase of this
little nightie would be a good in-
vestment. And truly it was the be-
ginning of our little Molly’s becoming
a sweeter child. Every child, no
matter how ambitious, needs some
rest during the day in order to keep
happy and well behaved.
I have found the use of dainty and
attractive sleeping garments a real
solution to the daytime nap problem.
This success is due, no doubt, in part
at least, to the fact that coax as
much as she might, Molly has never
been permitted to wear the daytime
nighties at night.
Since the little “silk” gown worked
such wonders, I have added to the
daytime sleeping apparel other pretty
and interesting garments. There is a
dainty little suit of flowered batiste
which Is about the coolest sort of
pajamas that a child can slip into af-
ter the bath on a hot summer day.
For the downy outing pajamas for
winter, Molly was allowed to select
the colors she liked best. She has a
bathrobe of French blue, made of
Turkish toweling, which adds inter-
est to the afternoon bath and a spe-
cial pair of little bedroom slippers,
for daytime use only, helped to make
Molly’s afternoon nap a pleasant oc-
casion.
Molly loves these pretty things, as
she loves the flowers. She is never
told how pretty she is, nor encour-
aged to stand before the mirror.
When she has done so any tendency
toward self-adiniration has been
turned aside by interesting her in the
garment itself—its color—graceful
lines—the people who made it. To
condition our little girl to be vain
would probably bring about more in-
harmony than lack of sleep, but we
have found that this is no more nec-
essary in the appreciation of beauti-
ful clothes than It Is in the love of
the wonders of nature.
Call for Prayer
Emergencies call for intense prayer.
When the man becomes the prayer,
nothing can resist its touch. Elijah on
f’armel, bowed dftwn on the ground,
with his face between his knees, that
was the prayer—the man himself.
Life
What kind ot a tale is life to you?
life meaningful and worth living?
That depends upon the one who lives

Chew for Beauty,
Models Advised
Rythmic chewing, combined with
exercises of the head and neck, was
revealed recently at New York to
2.000 models, members of the Models’
Guild, as the newest beauty formula.
The advice came from a well-known
specialist in response to a request
from the guild for information re-
garding the system.
A dozen exercises are included in
the complete routine. The Instruc-
tions for the one illustrated: “Start
with chewing gum—one or two
sticks. After a few seconds, begin
the exercise by tossing the head
from side to side. Then open your
mouth as wide as you can. Close it
gradually, and all the while endeavor
to chew your gum.”
This exercise is designed to tone
the muscles of the chin and lower
jaw. Others promote a fine neck-
line and beautiful cheeks.
TAKE OWN LIVES,
SUFFERING FROM
IMAGINARY ILLS
Imaginary ills cause most suicides,
and unrequitted love is waning as
a cause for self-destruction, says J.
F. Cutbirth, veteran coroner’s jury-
man of Kansas City, who has been
investigating suicides for years.
"It’s not just the loss of their
money that causes a man to commit
suicide,” said Cutbirth. “As often
as not it is imagination that gets
them.
“What seems to plunge them Into
despair is the thought they are los-
ing caste. They’ve fallen into the
habit of thinking only the life they
have been living is worth while.
“I can think of several men who
committed suicide after financial
losses which did not leave them
destitute by any means. A lot of
folks get along without complaint
on what was left to them.”
“Does romance figure much in sui-
cides?” he was asked.
“Not much these days,” Cutbirth
replied. “Some women still commit
suicide because of broken hearts, but
very few. And hardly any men do so.
“I suppose that men and women
know that if they lose their sweet-
hearts they can find new ones.
There are a lot of men and womeu
in the world. Both men and women
have larger circles of acquaintances
than they formerly did.
“Public opinion also is a factor.
Men and women, fearing ridicule, do
not go about mooning over their
unhappy romances.”
