River road was dangerous because of the way cars sped along It at night. But speeding cars weren't the only danger, folks said. It was the duty of Jim and another lad Roscoe Doane to patrol that road in a car. Their duty was to prevent the smuggling of aliens and of contraband goods, the principal contraband in that day being liquor. "Before I took the job," says Jim, "people advised me against it. They claimed the bootleggers were desperate and would shoot on sight I found this to be untrue. But I did face death in three violent forms, in about as many minutes on one particular night of my service."

Thrill" HELLO, EVERYBODY: column has passed out a lot of free advice at one time or another. It seems that everybody who ever has an adventure, learns something from it that he wants to pass along to the rest of the world, and this seems to be the clearing house for that kind of information. I've issued buildwarnings about everything from jumping off mother-in-lag to of a the with ings getting friendly tiger. Today I'ye got another warning for you. I don't know if you'll ever have occasion to use it, but I'll pass it along for what it's worth. If you're ever motoring to Niagara Falls at night, don't go by the River road. That comes from Jim McDermott of New York City. Some of you fellows who have been to that address before may recognize it as the Men's Night Court. Well, that's where you'll find Jim. He's the fingerprint expert there. But in 1926, Jim was a member of the Immigration Border Patrol, Decorative Angels for Sheets, Pillow Cases ED 83 st! Freddie Bartholomew is no longer Metro has demoted him, and promoted James Stewart, a star. anti-aircra- ft German Volunteers in Spain Return to Homeland They Started Out in a Small Roadster. That night came in the spring of 1926, Jim and Roscoe started out in a small roadster, with the top down. Roscoe was driving, for Jim, at that time didn't know how to operate a car. Fix's Ferry was their starting point. They hang around there until about 11:15, and then started to drive toward Tonawanda. They had gone about two miles when they came to a point where the road narrowed down and the Erie canal ran alongside it for a distance. An auto with glaring headlights was approaching. It was Vsr'V f3J Man Was Worth the Money! JAMES STEWART ev- ery picture he makes and he's making plenty of them these days. These are the days when the girls who are graduated from high school or college may be taking a screen test right along with their diplomas, without knowing it. Practically all of the major movie companies are in need of pretty girls, it's said. and talent scouts have gone forth to find them. Of course, the very girls who come out best in these informal screen tests could probably go to Hollywood and try hopelessly for years to get into the studios. Their car seemed to soar in the road for a moment or two. The Weight of the Car Seemed to Increase Momentarily. "Roscoe was on top of me," be says, "with his back on my face, and he was doing some struggling. I couldn't move. My shoulders and the back of my neck were on the road, and I was still on the seat, albeit upside down. My back ached and the weight of the car, crushing down on me, was increasing momentarily." He was in that position when suddenly he heard Roscoe let out an oath. "Here's a guy doing 50 and no lights," he cried. "He'll hit us sure as bell." Jim couldn't see a thing, but it was true, he knew. Their car was lying right across the road. A man going at that speed, with no lights, could hardly help but hit them. Says Jim: "For the second time, I thought the end had come. I could see only a few feet ahead through the wreckage, but I could hear the roar of the approaching car. I gritted my teeth and struggled to get out, but I couldn't move. Roscoe was making my position more uncomfortable every second. I shouted out, 'Where is he?' At the same time I heard the roar of the motor diminish and Roscoe yelled back, 'He's gone.' " Two narrow escapes. And a third still to come. As the night grew quiet again, Jim discovered that their headlights were still burning and the motor was still running. Suddenly He Felt Something Drip Down on His Face. And then, suddenly, he felt something drip down en his face. "My first thought was that It was blood," he says, "but that couldn't be. This fluid was cold. I struggled to get my band to my face, but before I got It there, 1 knew It was gasoline. It was coming from the tank Just outside the dashboard, over the engine. I had faced death twice before and now I was facing It again in a more dreadful form. Our engine was still running. At any moment the car might burst Into flames!" It didn't occur to Jim to shut off the switch. He didn't know how to drive a car. Momentarily he expected an explosion fire agony and death. And then, all at once, he heard voices. Someone was saying, "All on this side, now." The car was lifted off them, and half a dozen men were pulling him out. A bunch of army officer!, returning from Buffalo to Fort Niagara, had come along and found them. The oar that hit them had run through a ditch and crashed into a tree. It contained a suitcase full of counterfeit liquor labels, but the driver was gone. lie had walked dowa the road and telephoned ahead far help. The second car had Just managed to get by them because a farmer's wife, who had seen the crash, ran to the road with a lantern. That second car got by with barely two Inches to spare. But It didn't stop. Cars without lights along that road never did. ' Jim was laid Up three weeks with a wrenched back, but Roscoe Doane got off with a few bruises. ' But even so, Jim doesn't think it's particularly safe at night on that River road. Happy to leave Spain after 33 months of war were these German soldiers, volunteers in the Franco forces, bound for the German ship which would convey them to Hamburg and their loved ones. Some 6,000 troops of the Reich were permitted to embark for their homeland after a gala victory demonstration in Madrid.

It is the Invention of Dr. Peter Schlumbohm, a New York engineer, who describes It In a communication to the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers, published in the current Issue of its Journal. The unit Is expected to solve the problem of supplying automatic refrigeration on trucks, trains and boats where electric power Is A new not available, and also to rural and tropical areas. The propane Is taken from the common large drum available commercially, fed into a refrigerating cycle in which it Is compressed to a liquid and evaporated to a gas, producing cold. In rapid cycle, and la then drawn into the combustion chamber of a small gas motor that looks and operates like a gasoline engine. A unit which produces one tin of Ice an hour Is said to cost flvs cents an hour to operate. The customer was being shaved a country town to which he was a visitor, when the barber cut him. The man was all apologies, and placed a piece of tissue paper over the gash. When the shave was finished the customer to the great surprise of the barber handed over a substantial tip. "That's all right," said the victim, with a smile of forgiveness; "I don't often get shaved by a man who deals in three trades." "Three trades?" queried the puzzled barber.

Roscoe was already turning over on the grass at the side of the road. But the headlights came rushing on. Then BANG! The car hit them! Says Jim: "Our car seemed to soar in the air for a moment or two. As we were hit, Roscoe jumped to get out, and landed in my lap. The left front wheel of the big sedan had caught our front wheel. It lifted our light car completely off the road and swung it around. At the same time, it turned over and landed bottom up, diagonally across the narrow roadway." Jim says that, during the brief moment while they were turning over, just one question presented itself to his mind. That was: "Will I oe dead when we hit?" But down there, trapped under the overturned car. ,Jim found to his surprise that he wasn't dead. Pattern 6348.

Over a period of two months The Three Marshall!

They couldn't sing "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum" it was thought to be offensive. "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" was all right if only Peggy and Kay sang the lyrics; Jack could play the music, but he couldn't sing network rulings reject the song if it's sung by a man.
