Fountain Venus is
on Retired List
Boston, Dec. 30. Venus,
maid of the Public Garden
mist, is missing.
They have sent her to the
Old Ladies' Home, or, more
strictly speaking, the society for
the Preservation of New Eng
land Antiques.
Garbed in the "altogether,"
the marble beauty of Venus
adorned a , fountain opposite
the Commonwealth avenue en
trance to the gardens.
Since 1861 she has endured
the rigors of the New England
climate and the Icy water which
descended in sprays upon her.
Treatment of this kind is
likely to mar seriously the
beauty of any lady, and Venus
is "all broken up" about It.
First she parted with an arm,
then another. And now her
bathing days are at an end.
Two men who, it is alleged, pass
ed worthless cheeks on the Love
jewelry store, and the Shei and
Greenbaum clothing stores here In
the latter part of October are at
present In a Jacksonville jail, Sher
iff Needham announced this morn
ing. Whether the two men will be
brought back to Salem is not at
present known.
In Salem, it is said, the men
cashed checks payable to Ralph
Nelson over the signature of W. J.
Allen. They made away with more
(nan $75 in this city, it is claimed.
Fr(om Salem the two men are be
lieved to have gone to Ashland
where they operated for a short
time, and they then proceeded to
California where they were later
rrested.

San Diego, Cal., Dec. 30. Head
ed by the F-5-L, a squadron ot
fourteen seaplanes, left the North

first lap of the proposed flight
from San Diego to Panama bay.
The seaplanes, comprising the
Pacific air force started on their
3000-mile flight to Balboa, Canal
Zone, which is regarded by naval
authorities a more severe and haz
ardous test than the crossing of the
Atlantic ocean. The route lies along
the Mexican and Central American
west coasts with "hops" of the sea
plane squadron scheduled from
bay to bay or port to port.
Take off of the fleet of air craft
was accomplished without unto
ward incident, the fleet taxiling
down the harbor channel to the
port entrance under the Point
Lofa headland and there with the
open sea before them rising fmtn
the water and disappearing into the
skyline as the might roar of their
combined motors dimmed from
hearing.
