Marks Found Aftsr Robbery In Mich¬ igan Trust Company at Grand Rapids Spoke Veiumos te Oetoctivea—Wsighs Lass Than Tan Pounda, but Doaa Job. Semstimss "Soup" Is Nasdod.
Grand Rapids, Mich.—A few years ago a mechanician fashioned a few strips of steel at bis home forge, and tbe grotesque creation of this man, who is now serving time In the Ohio I>enltentlary, was christened "old man," and by way of distinction be was spo¬ ken of as having four legs.
When top story men worked In tbe Michigan Trust building here on a re cent Sunday and tore out tbe combina¬ tions of two safes and shot another with nitroglycerin the "old man" with the four legs left his imprints on thc safes. Where his "feet" had been planted were four deep dents. Those marks spoke volumes to the detectives.
Only expert safe crackers use thg "old man." The muu whose brain gave birth to tills ingenious tool fashioned a most powerful and useful implement for the craft who use explosives and drill steel safes for a living wben some commonwealth is not feeding and bous¬ ing them in exchange for a safe crack¬ ing Job or some other depredation.
A piece of steel fashioned into the semblance of a narrow horseshoe ia the framework of the "old mau." There is Just enough room between these strips to enable the "old man" to drop over tbe kuob of a safe. Four holes drilled in the "old man's" frame fur¬ nish the foothold for the four legs. The boles are threaded witb a flne thread, as nre the legs.
Once the "old man" fastens his grip upon tbe safe knob the legs are screw¬ ed into the boles. The close threads on bolLs aud bole give the "old man" a tremendous purcba.se power, and with a monkey wrench the legs are screwed down.
In a moment they are fast and the "old man's" back is bent to the task. So short aiul jwwcrful Is bis frame and so closely set are his legs that there is no chance for him to bend at ills work. The combination commences to give, aud as the Jjiws of the wrench twist the legs In deeper the knob is slowly torn out. Entrance to the safe then is easy, und the Inner compart¬ ments, once bared, are easily batter¬ ed in.
The "old man's" right hand aid is a self fed drill, which can be fastened into the "old miin's" frame as easily as one of the less. An extra hole is drilled into the frame, and into this fits tbe threaded bolt that holds the drill steady and in plaee. But tbe drill is used only where the charge of "soup," or nltro^'lycerin, Is resorted to in blowing tbe safe.
In tbis case the yeggs fa.sten the "old man" scurely on the safe knob. The drill is placed, and tbe yegg tben feeds the steel drill as he turns the handle. The bolt which holds the drill to its work und which is fastened into the "old mau's" frame is one piece, wblle the diill is .set inside of a thread¬ ed bolt that pushes it forward with tbe regularity the yegg uses In drllUng.
After the hole is deep enough the "soup" is administered, and the hole Is covered with wax and a fuse attach ed. Office rug.s ure thrown over the safe, and the yecffs step to one side n.s tbe fuse is flred. Tbe real yegg u.ses Just enough ".snup" to accomplish the work of wre'king the safe without blowing the doors through u wall or iqaklng unnei'essary noise. %he last job done lu which the "old man" and a chaige of "soup" were used was sufflcient Just to pull the door from its steel fastenings and hurl th<' combination out. Pushing back the bolts was nothing, and with a kit of special tools the yeggs soon entered tbe strong box.
The latest jobs credited to the "old man" with the four legs are those at Flint, in which much loot was taken from a bank; the Vermontrille post office and the United Light and Rall- "ways company's offices here, In which the' "old man" was clamped on three safes.
One of the most complete yegg out¬ fits In captivity is In possession of Director of Safety A. A. Carroll, who has the "old man" with tbe four legs. Included in.this outfit are drills of various sizes, threading tools, skeleton key, "soup" guns, wax, chisels, and sundry articles. The outfit was taken from a pair of yeggs who were cap¬ tured by Director Carroll, but who fled after they Jumi>ed their ball bonds.
So complete was the tool molded by the Inventor of tbe "old man" that the police assert no added Inventions have come to make such an instrument more uaeful.
Norwich, Conn.—Since tbe death of Cecil Peoll at Washington last spring Arthnr F. Bia siar, twenty-two, a reel dent of Guilford, nearby. Is tbe young est aviator in America holding a license under the International Federation of Aeronautlca.
Mr. Blasiar left recently for Canada and contemplates going to Russia, where be will demonstrate and instruct Russian army officers In ttae operation of the Sperry gyroscope aeroplane sta¬ bilizer and target sigh ter.
When interviewed by a newspaper reporter Mr. Blasiar said: "The Sper¬ ry stabilizer enables tbe pilot to fly without giving attention to lateral or longitudinal control. This relieves blm from much stress and make it possi¬ ble for him to give bis attention to dropping bombs with the target sighter.
"He cau drop each bomb with accu¬ racy and eCfect. These are the only instruments of their kind and are American inventions. Tbe machines on which tbey have been Installed are the largest and most powerful made. They are propelled by two tractor screws turning in opposite directions ^^and developing over 300 horsepower. They drive tbe machine at a minimum speed of forty-flve miles per hour and a maximum of 105 miles. This makes it possible for tbem to go faster thau the speedy scouting aeroplanes.
"The total load is 7,800 pounds, of whicb 2,000 pounds are bombs or ex¬ plosives. There are two operators. The delicate parts are protected with armor, making it almost impossible to be shot down. It Is possible for an enemy to launch one of tbese ma¬ chines 400 miles at sea and fly over New York city, drop a ton of high ex¬ plosives and return to its base of sup¬ ply, causing great loss of life and property.
"Tbe appearance of this great air de¬ stroyer is that of a huge beetle, as its two wings spread nearly 100 feet The nacelle, or body. In which are the mo- tora, fuel, munitions and operators, during flights takes on a hideous ap¬ pearance In the air.
"My sole aim Is that I may obtain actual experience In the art of mod¬ ern aerial warfare. As a true Ameri- <an I feel it my duty that I may be of greater service to my country In a pos¬ sible future war. Th^ aeroplatie Is the eye of tbe nation."
ONE CROP PAID FOR FARM.
Western Kansas Farmer Traded a Calf For Wheat Pasture.
Atchison, Kan—-Vlliert Armstrong of this city, who has just returned from a trip to Lane county, saya the farm¬ ers out thoie xxie worrying about what to do witb their money Instead of wor¬ rying how to get along for lack of it.

The wheat did so well he decided to let it grow and harvested it And he harvested L.'iOO bushels of wheat, which will be sold for $1,300. Anoth¬ er farmer bought a half section of land for $1.') an acre, and the year's crop paid for the land.
