SIVG VG FUETIE HELD AT ELABETH Slayer of Bill Brennan, Boxer, Who Fled Prison Two Years Ago, Again Nabbed. By the Associated Press. ELIZABETH, N. J,, February 5.—The slayer of Bill Brennan, heavyweight pugilist, was in jail today after being a fugitive from Sing Sing Prison for two years. Joseph Piolo, who disappeared myste- riously from prison on the night of Mazch 2. 1927, was arrested here last night as a suspicious character. Detec- tives nabbed him after watching his movements for more than a week. Their suspicions had been aroused by his apparent prosperity with no visible means of support. When approached in a cafe he said he was James Lavelle of Newark. De- tectives said they found a pistol in his pocket. An automobile he had been driving was registered in Union County under a fictitious name. Police said his identity as the escaped convict was ‘established through police records. ‘The prisoner gave a detailed account of the manner in which he escaped from Sing Sing. He said that under cover of a heavy fog, he slipped out of his cell carrying his mattress with him. Making his way to the top of the wall with the mattress, he said he held it before him and leaped into the Hudson River. . Swimming a distance of about three city blocks, he said, he climbed ashore and was away before the siren on the rison sounded warning that a prisoner d escaped. * Piolo and four others were indicted for shooting Brennan in his New York cabaret in July, 1924. Piolo was scntenced to Sing Sing for 20 years. PARK POLICE ARREST 133 DURING JANUARY Report Reveals That $993 Was . Collected From 111 Persons, !

One " THE EVENING STAR,” WASHINGTON,® D.” ¢.* TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 5.” T0%. THE VICARION (Copyright, 1928, by Public Ledger) By Gardner Hunting. (Continued from Ye'stt'rdx_\_v's Star.) CHAPTER XXX. New demands arose and people bat- tened on them. But food was gath- ered for the hungry in order that the gatherers might possess means/of im- mediate spending. Markets and great houses of supply gave place to little booths and stands, City strects became like fairs, where people were spending the day and not the year.. And.con- stantly the booths changed liauds. In great centers of population it was gatd there was suffering, but informat! came as spasmodically and inadequately as it had formerly come by motion pic- ture news reels. Vicarion views of New York showed sandwich and fruit_and vegetable stands on Broadway. Fifth avenue was deserted. Stores, shops and hotels were empty; theaters were thronged. But for once New Yorkers were attending their own shows, while former transient patrons stayed at home with theirs. And neither class did any- thing clse! But nobody wanted to look at mere streets or mere crowds. It was the great rough, hot moment of passion— greed, hate, fury, love!—that they wanted. ‘They got it. And the more they got of it, the more crazed was the demand. No one could- analyze the situation, no one could predict, the outcome. No one tried, it. seemed. It was inconceivable that there was not somewhere authority that could inter- fere. But government is, after all, of and by and for the people. Officialdom was swept aside like a wisp before a mighty referendum. Never in all his- tory had there been such an object les- son in government, but no one paused to observe. Kings, councils, congresses or creeds—they wield nothing if not the people’s will! "And the people willed to live in the deeds of the past! And so they lived. On a day—she had no idea what day, whether a fortnight or a_month after she had seen him last—Phyllis found Radley in his private office. He was strangely shaven and sleek. So many men were not now! But to her vision his lips were steel and his eyes fire. She hardly knew what she said to him —her thoughts spoke. “How are people going to live, Rad- ley?” she asked. He understood. “There has 'always been food enough in the world if the race would only recognize it.” he an- swered, “grain, fruit, nuts, herbs, game! Everything we eat was once a weed or an eater of weeds. When my world rows hungry, I'll turn it out to grass.” His world! Joking still. “But—cities full!” “There's enough in cold storage to support this generation,” he told her, ning. “Why worry about the next? Maybe there won't be any next. d if there isn't, I'll be the great benefactor of the race: I shall have put them out of their misery.” He left her with some excuse shé did not hear, and he did not come back. ‘She found herself later wandering in the Ralls of the building—at the T of a muitiple-unit room. Organ! on was still here, apparently. ~Attendants were on duty—she wondered how Brain- ard kept them there.~ But if"ite could enslave a nation, he could command in- dividuals and groups. O | But the employes were more™ normal than the men and women came and went. A girl passed hei whom she had known as one of the gayest of the young society buds #iat Spring, Evelyn Candlar, eating an afiple or a vegetable or a sandwich out’ of hand. A woman she knew as a leader in club work came in looking as-if she had slept since she had combed her if after a night of debauch, his hair matted, his chin grizzled with graying beard, his unwashed skin waxy, /his mouth scarlet and dry. She stood aside and watched. Here were fops and butterflies who had dropped out of the social parade—for- getting to shave and to dress! Decency was bedraggled. Pretense was punc- tured, as in the presence of a public disaster. But if the youngsters startled her, the older ones were tragic. It was middle age that paid high for sensa- tions. Boys and girls were jaded; their fathers and mothers were sapped. She saw men drink from flasks, alone, in the presence of others. She saw women sip at small vials, unashamed. They did not talk to each other; they slipped ‘into booths and lay down, to draw hoods over their faces—and the curtains fell upon their surrender. People who had gone to underground dens in days past for their drugs had had the grace to get out of sight. But nobody here seemed conscious of observation. A woman came from a booth, her face wet with emotional tears, and de- is Happy Now I The quick, easy way those ail- ments of children, such as head- aches, - feverishness, biliousness, coated tongue, bad breath, no ap- petite or energy, etc., simply van- ish with the first few doses of California Fig Syrup, is always a surprise to those who use this fine old medicine for the first time. Weak, puny, restless and cross children never fail to pick up weight and gain strength and energy under its gentle influence. It stimulates-the appetite, regu- lates the stomach and bowels and gives these organs tone and strength so they continue to act normally, of their own accord. A well known Washington mother, Mrs. G. H. Warden, 829 Third St. N.E,, says: “Gladys is rosy - cheeked, bright -eyed and happy, now; but we had a lot of trouble with her. Her stomach and bowels seemed to be weak. She guffered from constipatica and biliousness until she was fret- ful and peevish most of the time. Then we gave her some California Fig Syrup and her trouble stopped quick. We kept on giving it to her and soon she was well and strong.” Be sure to ask for California Fig Syrup by the full name so manded repetitions of what had made her weep. A man could be heard be- hind a curtain complaining like a whin- ing child. Phyllis recalled what Brain- ard had once said about “increasing the dose.” The only apparent consciousness of -one another that passing “custom- ers” showed was irritation. ‘They seemed curious as to what others might have that they did not obtain—curious, jealous, _envious. Sometifnes they seemed almost to hate one another, if looks could' tell the ‘story. What was it for which they envied one another? Did they covet a greater capacity to absorb—or more of the Liqu Life which they absorbed? Per- haps they envied those people of the past Who really had lived those mo- ments, the vital quality of which after all could nop be fuily savored second hand! And hafed them, as men always hate those who'have more life than they! She could not believe that this scene was typical of what was occurring in private exhibition rooms elsewhere. Then she knew it must be. But sup- vulsion seized her. Why should she so concern herself? It was nothing for which she was responsible, or that she could stop or delay. Of what moment was it to the sane that the insane should attempt to destroy themselves, or the method they might adopt? It was only revolting to see. The fit mi- nority would survive—however small it might be! Was it then simply that taste was offended by physical self- neglect of the victims—or was there a far deeper horror at the plight of the victims themselves? No, the physical appearance was the mere symptom of the thing that mattered. Physical appearance a mere symptom? ‘Where—where did that idea lead in the consideration of this impgssible ' situa- tion? She tried to run away from the scenes. But Brainard met hef squarely in the doorway. She caught him by the arm. “Radley, do you see whatis happen- ing to people here?” “They're having the time of their he answered, smiling grimly. idea what they are pay- ing me for it? “Is the same thing happening every- where? ‘What's the matter?* Nobody is suffering. Everybody is happy.” “Happy—on sensation2” “Of course. They khow what they want; and they've got.it.” “But—but people can't just look on at life and—not live it any more!” “Why not? If a man gets full satis- faction for his senses, what else can he live for? They're all he has. Not poets, and imagine we have anything else! Common sense is the first of all the senses—yes, the first of all the philosophies. Men in the mass are al- ways right about what they want. Tre voice of the people is the voice of God!™ He was sneering. “It isn’t!” she cried. “Even the senses rebel if—if they are used too much! “Oh, you mean that any given sensa- tion pails after a while? Well, nature anesthetizes us, ‘mercifully, when we can no longer enjoy. That’s what the idea of Nirvana came from—it is the ultimate goal, after all!” b “But—but,” stumbled the girl, stag- gered by this flippancy, “what about the children?

Science has recently found that the health-bringing rays of ‘sunlight are the Ultra-Violet rays which are invisible to the eye but which create the special bone-building Vitamin known as Vitamin “D.” Gray, smoke-laden skies of winter, and even clothing, keep away from the child these vital health-rays of the sun. So there has been a search by sci- entists the world over for a sure and easily available source which would give to chil- dren and grown-ups alike this all-impor- tant effect of sunlight.- Now that way has been found. It has been brought about at last by Ultra-Violet light irradiation through special patented process of the fas mous hot breakfast cereal-Quaker Farina, THIS is important news for mothers and expectant mothers, for physicians and hospital heads, for every one vitally interested in human health and welfare. Professor Harry Steenbock, a distin- guished scientist, has now found a sure and easily available way to give you the impor- tant bone-building effect of ‘sunshine! He does this by irradiating Quaker Farina, the hot breakfast food long known and pre- scribed as essential by child specialists, with Ultra-Violet Rays. The sun’s secret ; Once you understand fully sunlight’s effect upon health, you'll realize the ymportance of this discovery. Only rcccnt&' have sci- entists learned just what it is in sunlight that gives it the remarkable effect it has on health and body building. They have found the power is in certain rays of the sun, in- visible to the naked eye, but known as Ultra-Violet Rays. These rays have the capacity to produce one of the needed vita- mins, essential to body-building and known to science as Vitamin “D.” : This vitamin enables the body to make full use of the lime in milk and other. foods. Bones and teeth are built of lime.

Many magazies. and scientific journals have recently recounted fe story of how Professor Steenbock refused a forturs for this important discovery. Professor Steenbock felt that humanity had rights in his work. So to protect his invention against un- ethical exploitation, he patented it. He assigned his ™ patent to the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, a non-profit organizatiod, refusing to accept a penny for his years of labor. In order to make irradiated cereal available to the public, The Quaker Oats Company, largest cereal manufacturer in the world, was granted exclusive rights to the use of the Steenbock Process insofar as it relates to cereals. research for the benefit of humankind. who has plenty of Vitamin “D” has normal bone development.
