Show Colorful Nicknames Abound In Underworld, FBI Learns WNU Features. Cotton Patch Molly, Iron Foot FlorBowlegged Bessie, ence, Butcher Knife Lizz, High Ball Lill, Mustache Annie! These probably arent the type of nicknames which the typical American woman would choose for herself, but they are among the colorful and unusual appellations by which female characters of the underworld are known. This is revealed by the identification division of the Federal ' Bureau of Investigation, which uti-lizes nicknames as means of track ing down criminals in its relentless drive against law violators. Files on nicknames, palm prints, footprints and general appearance data are maintained by the FBI for identification purposes to supplement its collection of fingerprints, largest in the world. . Indicative of the FBIs thorough and systematic effort to maintain complete data on members of the underworld mob, the file contained 469,515 nicknames at the start of the year. During the past year f 47,580 nicknames were added to the list. Although an individual may change his real name many times, as a general rule his nickname sticks, FBI agents point out in emphasizing the effectiveness of this means of identification. This has been found particularly true in cases involving check forgers, impersonators and extortionists. The women have no comer on the unique nicknames found in FBI files. Also included in this category are such cognomens as Alibi Good Am I Blue, Barrell House Kid, Blue Shorty,. Beef Stake Bob, Shirt Slim, Chew Tobacco Gold Tooth Frenchy, Lewie, Sweet Cakes Liver Lip, and Whoop Em Up Willie. Notorious public enemies of the 1930s are recognized more often by their nicknames than their true names. The given name of Baby-fac- e Nelson was Lester M. Gillis.

Ur-ban- the nickname of August John Lamar. Roger Touhy was commonly known as Black Roger. Joseph Raymond Negri, associate of Babyface Nelson was dubbed Fatso. Members of the Barker-Karpgang also had their nicknames. Ma Barker was the name accorded Kate Barker by her sons and their underworld pals. Arthur Barker was knowft as Doc. Alvin Karpis was 'nicknamed Old Creepy because of his cold stare and precision in carrying out his crimes. Charles Arthur Floyd whs widely known as Pretty Boy. A criminal may receive a nickname because of some physical characteristic, unusual personality trait or criminal specialty. Cockeye Mary was labeled as such by her underworld pals because of her facial appearance. Another criminals extensive vocabulary prompted the nickname of Dictionary. Sweet Lips did not live np to his name, FBI agents ascertaining that he had been in custody of police several times for offenses ranging from vagrancy counterfeiting. The through also Wildflower, nickname, proved misleading. The individual bearing that name was arrested for assault. . In many instances law enforcement agencies Will have little, if any, information about a wanted criminal except perhaps a nickname and a smattering of descriptive data. When this information is forwarded to the FBI, a search through the nickname file sometimes results in an identification. Kentucky Red was the only name known for an individual who was selling drugs in New York City. FBI nickname files furtiished his correct name, descriptive data and his whereabouts at the time. Nicknames have not been confined to the criminal element. Machine Gun Kelly originated a nickname for ihe special agents of the FBI when they apprehended him in a dawn raid at Memphis, Tenn., on September 26, 1933. Dont shoot, dont shoot he cried. - This name caught the fancy of the public as well as that of the underworld.

Because of the mineral fertility left in the soil foods grown here contain body building, bone making values. Neglecting to put fertility such as barnyard manure, green manures, lime, and other fertilizers back into soils to balance crop removal pushes crops on these soils toward fuel only crops. These fuel only crops mean poorer growth and lower health values. The declining fertility of our soils is a decline in the health of our soils, of our plants and of ourselves. Insoluble Grit Aids Chickens Digestion Some insoluble grit,' usually granite or river gravel, will be eaten by hens if it is available. It assists the gizzard in grinding grains and coarse feeds that might cause impaction of the digestive tract. Fine ground feed can be digested satisfactorily without grit being available. Oyster shell and limestone rock particles sometimes are used as grit but the digestive juices break these down rapidly and thus make an excess of calcium available. Grit Commonly is kept before hens at all times, although some producers prefer to feed it at intervals of 10 days to two weeks. youth-servin- Rid Worms in Sheep With Phenothiazine To control stomach and other roundworms of sheep, treat each animal individually with phenothiazine just ahead of the pasture season and keep phenothiazine-sal- t mixture in a covered trough before sheep on pasture.

This volcano derives its name, which means House of the Sun, from a legend about the Polynesian demigod Maui, who climbed to the top of Haleakala, ensnared the rays of the sun, and forced it to travel more slowly in its course so that his mother might have sufficient time to complete her days work. Haleakala, now rising more than 10,000 feet above sea level, was once a much higher mountain.
