Criminologist Captures Burglar . With Sword Cane In Apartment New York, Oct. 24 (®—Mark O. Prentiss, criminologist, who helped .organize the national crime commis- sion, possessed some first hand data today, gleaned in a two hour inter- view with, a burglar he surprised ransacking his apartment. Charles Fayl, 22, expert manipu Jator of apartment locks, was recov- ring from a two hour grilling at | the point of a sword cane and was | thanking his stars that plain or- | dinary cops had put him safely Lehind jail bars. ¢ Prentiss, returning to his Park Avenue apartment from a lunch- | con yesterday, found Faye helping| himself to his belongings. | Snatching an innocent looking | walking stick from a hall rack Prentiss unsheathed a long, slender biade and forced Faye to be seated. then proceeded to question him re- garding the burglar business. “The fellow was unarmed,” Pren- tiss said, “but I wasn't taking any chances. He told me ¥ Was his first job, but the police have since learn- ed that he's committed 16 burglaries in the neighborhood during the past tfew months.” WORLD'S LONGEST TAXI ROUTE OPENS New Line Crosses Africa From Cape fo Nile River Washington, D. C., Oct. 24—The world's longest taxi service has been established in Africa. i It runs from Juba at the head of navigation on the Nile to Cape Tewn at the southern tip of the con- tinent, a distance of more than 6, 000 miles. The Trans-African Moto? Safaris, as it is called, scedules the irip as a 60-day journcy although ad conditions may diminigh or ex- lend the transit time. Trail Covered in 40 Days “Africa’s new auto service down the continent's backbone uscs the southern two-thirds of an 8,000 mile Zape-to-Cairo route which has been pioncered by a few daring tourists,” says a bulletin of the National Geo- graphic Society from its headquar- ters in Washington, D. C. “A young South African and his wife covered the trail in 40 days, driving the en- lire distance, except for 1,000 miles o¢ impassable Sudd morass, througn which they ferried on a Nile steam- “Rains may slow up the cars to n speed of 300 yards in five days. lions may come crawling up ‘o watch the driver change a flat tire.

In ranganyika and Kenya the route Jrads through an outdoor zoo, vast game preserve plains thronged with thousands of African anima ¢lands, kongoni, antelopes, zcbras, ostriches, girafies, hyenas, harte- beest, and jackals. Unafraid of au- icmobiles, herds graze peacefully while cars run close by their un- tenced feeding grounds. “Salt and golf clubs should have their plact’ in the luggage of every motor traveler through Africa; salt to get out of ruts, golf clubs to while away stop-overs. Even suci a village as Kasama, merely & jungle crossroads, populatec by a handful of whites, has its golf course. The fairways are not a sporty however, as those in Eliza- Dethville, where 600 ant hills, rang; ing from foot-stool size to young hills substitute for bunkers. “When the wheels spin and sink in the muck it is time to call for native help. Naked men, women and children will flock to aid the un- fertunate motorist. With shouts and chants they will pull out a car. They will chop down trees and bushes to make a corduroy road over a wet spot. When the labor is over n> yeward pleases them more than teaspoon of salt! Tirst Attempt Foiled by Leopard Africa’s swift development has been dramatized by successive at- 1empts to shorten the time between Cairo and Cape Town. The trex was first accomplished in 1898 by | Grogan, who traveled on foot with & small atmy of native porters. In| 1913 the first attempt to go through by automobile failed when Captain Kelsey was killed by a leopard. Colonel van Ryneveld flew the rout in 1920, although two machines were wrecked before he reached Cape Town. Surveys now are under way for regular air service. “Airplanes and automobiles to- gether are making Cecil Rhodes® dream of an all-red route through Africa an accomplished fact years before he or any of his disciples expected swift through transit could be established. He prophesied the day when trains would run from Cape Town to Cairo; it now seems probable that surfaced roads and air stations will substitute for Rhodes’ steel rails. “Lines of highway thread the new map of Africa like cobwebs spun by busy spiders. The new taxi service Tas today the choice of four routes south from Juba on the Nile. The Proposed Route “The route selected leads from the Nile to cotton-growing Soroti on | the banks of Lake Kioga, through | Mbale under the slopes of Mt.
