The officers of the Washington High February, '12, class are as follows: Kenneth Irle, president; Irene Wents, vice-president; Beatrice Locke, secre tary; William McKenxie, treasurer, and William Gerretsen, Jr., sergeant-at-arms. The 63 members of the class had their organisation as usual and have given a number of successful functions. Among other things the members gave a play, the object of which was to defray the expenses of the class paper which It turned out. This play, entitled "One of the Eight," was quite a success, and, with the aid of a dance, the class has turned out a very creditable book. Ruth Houck Is the editor and Kennet Irle the asso- ciate. Victor Sinks la business mana ger. An extensive programme has been gotten up for the entertainment of the class, one of the features of which will be selections by the girls' chorus, un- LINCOLV HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES I, i. r. Shea; t.

The final blast, which will 'open the Aqueduct tunnel under the) Hudson River, will be set off Tuesday, and the city officials have completed rranirements to recognize the fact of ficially. The work has been in progress since ktt June, and the bore has ben run through tha rock from Storm King, on the west bank of the Hudson, to Break Neck, on the east shore. Mayor Caynor and members of the Board of Water Supply will be present when the final blast la fired. After the debris Is cleared away the Mayor will lead the visiting party In a walk through the tunnel starting from the east and coming out at Ptorrn King. The tunnel has been blasted through solid rock. and. In Its present condi tion, without a cernemt lining, which la to be put In later, virtually is water tight. It la 3022 feet In length, and extends between two shafts 1150 feet' deep sunk on either aide of the river. Great difficulty was experienced by the city In finding a suitable location for crossing ander the river; aa it was necessary U get a aolid strata of rock, without a break, through which the tunnel could be carried. At present the diameter of the tunnel la IS feet, but this will b reduced to 14 when the concrete) lining Is put In place.

Exhibit A was Patrolman HantsL who brought In a truckman accused of the heinous offense of hauling desks from a warehouse) to the offices of the Equitable Life Association Sunday. Tou must know, said the magis trate to the policeman, "that it la ab solutely necessary for this great com pany, which has been burned out. to get Its new offices open as soon as possible, snd yet you say that It was not necessary for this man to be work ing. If some of you policemen used more Judgment, there would not be so many fool arrests." He then discharged tha prisoner, add ing: "I am sorry that such a blundering policeman ahould have put you to this Inconvenience and humiliation. " The next prisoner was accused of driving a wagonload of coal, "In viola, tlnn of the Sabbath law, being neither necessary nor charitable." to quote from the complaint. "What." exclaimed Magistrate House, "neither necessary nor charitable to de liver coal In this cold weather. Don't you know that the atreets have been so slippery during the past few days that It has been almost Impossible to make deliveries? And yet yon say that thla man's work wss 'not necessary.'

Then an uniden tified hero came to th rescues "Get snowballs, everybody," he com manded, and the populace, who eras out In force, obeyed enthusiastically. They cleaned the streets in the neigh borhood of beautiful snow and smeared the church and other nearby buildings with It. Tha church was burned to ashes, but the flames had so chance to s Dread. Real city firemen arrived from Flushing in tho course of time, but had 1 avenue nothing to do, and went away after congratulating the volunteers on the success of their unique work. Airship Stations Planned. That aeronauts are coming into th!r own is demonstrated by the fact that Park Commissioner Stover has called a meeting of those Interested In a project to establish aerial isles of safety In New York City. Jasper Oval at One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street and Amsterdam already has been set asiae as landing' place for birdmen, and other sites will be discussed. The Intention is to restrict landings to these places and thereby ensure safety all around. Commissioner Stover is also at work on "Rules of the Air." which will clearly define the rights of aeronauts and humblo pedestrians. In addition, an effort Is under way to license the sky pilots, something like the way In which auto chauffeurs are grouped.

He predicts that within 100 years the last one will van ish from America unless conditions change. He made this prophecy in the course of a speech before the new School of Mothercraft at No. 566 West End avenue. "The practical application of eugenics to modern marriage will not kill ro mantic love," he declared. "Romantic love has played a tremendous role dur ing the last eight centuries and has made for some of our greatest Improve ments of modern times. "Romantic love means that a third person has not tried to Influence nor interfere with the choice of two young people. It Is real true love." Concerning the lack of training to day for motherhood, the lecturer said: "When Intelligent motherhood is rec ognized as the greatest vocation for women, we shall have a greatly Im proved race." Professor Binder may be correct In his prediction, but the trouble Is that he will not live to see it fulfilled. Any how. 100 years Is a long time off. and rather too early for the average man to worry about what may or may not happen. ESCAPE RECALLS OTHERS French Soldiers Find Means or Es cape From German Prisons. BERLIN, Jan. 27. (Special.) About a dozen precedents for the escape of Captain Lux, the French spy. from his prison In Germany can be found in the history of the Franco-German war. and a large proportion of the heroes lived to become famous. A notable case was that of General (then Colonel) Saus sler. ultimately commander-in-chief of the French army, who was detained at Grand en z, in the extreme east of Prus sia. He put his bolster to bed instead of himself, hid In an obscure corner of the fortress until nightfall, and then, having obtained a disguise by the help of his orderly, was allowed to walk out of the main prison gate. He crossed the frontier to Poland, and returned to France by way of Austria and Italy. General Zurlinden was another pris oner who got out of his prison, at Glo gan, in Silesia, on Christmas eve. He made his way, in disguise, through Berlin, Frankfort and Carlsruhe, to Basle: a feat which was not difficult for him, as, being an Alsatian, he spoke German, quite as well as bis jailers. Thirdly, may be noted the ex periences of M. Paul Deroulede, who escaped from Breslau, and it is piquant to recall that that vehement Anti Semite did not disdain to disguise him self as a Polish Jew. He was very nearly betrayed by a peasant whom he had bribed to guide him into Bohemia; but he drew his knife with a ferocious gesture and the peasant changed his mind, with the result that M. Deroulede saw the final fights of the war as a sub-lieutenant of Turcos. STAR APPEARS IN CHURCH Vicar In Berlin Finds Illustrated Sermon a Success. BERLIN. Jan. 27. (Special.) Thr' vicar of the new Evangelical Garrison Church in Berlin, in his determination to keep abreast of the times, and to attract people to his church by means suited to present-day ideas, recently Introduced something of a novelty In church services, the celebration of the first Advent Sunday being illustrated by cinematograph and magic-lantern pictures. Above the altar was stretched a large linen screen, and with the first notes of the organ the church was darkened. As the congregation sang the opening hymn in darkness, the star of Bothle hem appeared on the screen above the altar. As the preacher. Invisible among the shadows, told the wondrous story of the birth of Christianity, his words were illustrated by picture after pic ture depicting scenes from the life of the infant Christ. The experiment was so great a suc cess that the vicar has decided to hold many further services along the same lines. Lord's Blankets Xot WaDted. DUBLIN, Jan. 2 7. (Special.) A Claremorris message states that the blankets which Lord Oranmore and Browne distributed among his poorer tenants as Christmas presents were later collected and taken to Balllndine, where they were counted, packed into a bale, and addressed to Castle Mac Garrett. the residence of liis lordship. The bulky package was dispatched by rail to the consignee, and bore on one side of it the words, "From the Ballln dine Branch of the United Irish League." While the parcel was being made up and conveyed to the station, cheers were repeatedly given for tha league
