Though his many years of ex- perience as police reporter, sports writer, and war correspondent for the New York World, O'Neill has gathered a mass of facts and at- mosphere that gives his crook stor- ies a definite touch of reality. “Crooks Can’t Win,” in almost every detail is based on actual hap- penings that came under the ob servation of the writer during his long contact with underworld hfcvt "HOOT GIBSON AT PALACE TOMORROW | & 3 Hoot Gibson will be at the Pal- ace tomorrow and Wednesday in “The Rawhide Kid,” adapted from Peter B. Kyne's story of “The Lions and The Lamb.” “The Rawhide Kid” concerns the travels and escapades of a care- free Irish cowpuncher who would rather fight than eat. He meets a pretty girl and her father in the heart of the desert and discovers that they were run out of town. He takes them back and invites any- one to attempt such a trick again. His experience in trying to out- wit the villians and at the same time endeavoring to justify himself with the law, makes the perfect screen story admirably suited to the talents of one of the best casts ever selected for an outdoors pro- duction. —o———— POSTAGE STAMP COLLECTORS ATTENTION Will buy for cash or exchange stamps.

Attracts Attention Mr. Herrick attracted world-wide attention as American Ambassador to France during the war by his refusal to leave Paris when the French government and the diplo- matic corps fled to Bordeaux to escape the threatened German in- vasion of 1914. In addition to the intricate matters connected with his own office, he also assumed charge of the British, Japanese and Turkish embassies, and by his calmness and devotion to duty in the face of great danger, is credited with having done more than any other individual to prevent the out- break of a disastrous panic in Paris. Another problem of ihmense pro- portions which confronted him dur- ing the early days of the war, was the necessity of providing advice and financial aid for the thousands of American subjects stranded in France. Through thé formation assisted the needy American subjects to réath their 3 These services caused the French government to bestow {upen him the Grand Cross of the | Legion of Honor, Notable achievement Another notable achievement of Mr. Herrick while in France was the American Rellef Clearing House, which he organized pfter the tourist problem had been disposed of. This organization took full charge of the transportation and distribution of supplies from Amer- ica, which were arriving in great quantities. ~The committee contin- ued throughout the war ‘as One of the most important rellef agencies in Europe. Born in Huntington, Ohio, Oc- tober 9, 1854, Mr. Herrick managed to attend school and eatn a living at the same time. . He entered Oberlin College and Ohio Wesleyan University, but did not complete the course. That he found knowledge outside of college text-books, how- ever, is evidenced by the fact that among AMBASSADOR HERRICK *| tor of an American Committee he not, elers but aided mote than 4,000 the honorary degrees be- .

Goverhor of Ohlo Mr. Herrick was governor of Ohio, from 1903 to 1905. He was one of the staunchest friends of President McKinley, came to his assistance |when he met with financial re- verses, and was also treasurer of the McKinlgy Memorial Association. For & long time he was A member |of fhe Executive Committee of the | Republican party. On his return to Paris in 1914 an enthusiastic group of friends in Cleveland attempted to start a| jmovement to nominate him for the presidency, but Mr. Herrick declined these honors, declaring that hol would not capitalize whatever credit | was due him for European service. While in France Colonel Her- rick made a study of agricultural| finance and worked out with the“ French government a plan for the exchange between the two coun- tries of information on farm fi-| Inance. “We cannot' hope for an jincrease in food production unless deresving farmers can get low rates and long periods on money,” he de- i clared. | Col.
