Today ; '.By Arthur Brisbane A; Pleasant 3omb. Only $72,000,000. Mr. Coolidge's Work. Transplanted Gorillas. (Copyright ty King remiurw Syndicate, Inc.) The story of the "deadly" bomb intended for New York's governor, Roosevelt, explodes pleasantly. It was an imitut tion bomb, manufactured f- placed and "discovered" by one whose hope was profit and a glorious memory. M "The aspiring youth that fired the Kphesinn dome ; Outlives in fame the pious fool that raised it." . The aspiring gentleman that invented the Roosevelt bomb will be less fortunate. The Ford - .company state ment,, filed in Massachusetts Tuesday, says Mv. Ford has on hand $r82,620,.r0:l. Not exact ly poverty, but T2 000,000 less than Ford had a year ago. This shows that it costs money to change one car to another, rip out great factories and install new machinery. However, the Ford plant is now producing more than 7000 passenger cars and trucks per day. That $72,000,000 wijl soon be replaced. Two million cars a year should easily yield $100. 000,000 profit, r per cent on two billions.' - ' President Coolidge becomes a rtireotor jn the New York Life Company in place of -the Into i Ambassador H.errick. , 1 Such a man as Mr. Coolidge could not remain idle.- And he could with difficulty find work more useful than life insurance. It inculcates thrift, provides for widows and children.' A family of gorillas living in the Kivu district of the Congo, where they inhabited a peace ful volcano, killed by Carl Ake ley, are now "dwelling", stuf fed, in the Museum of Natural History in New York. All those that can, should see them. Nothing could have made those gorillas, when romping around the volcano, believe that such a place" as New York existed, or that they would ever go there. ; But it does exist and they did go. That might encourage athe ists to believe that there may be something finer than New York, and that we may go there later. .. : - " The United States, producing 4000 airplanes in 1028, leads in aircraft output.

A pretty young woman, who bal anced n .bottle which, she said contained nitro-glycerino In one hnnd and n match in the other, and who didn't want five dollar bills "If you please," because they were "too bunglesome" ob tained $5000 in currency, in a single-handed hold-up of the Colo rado stale bank here yesterday afternoon.

'Give me all the bills you have in the cage or I will touch off this bottle of nitro-glycerine and blow you through the window," the note said. Kenney hesitated nnd the wo man looked suggestively ut the brown paper parcel in her hand, from which a short fuse protruded. The teller scooped up a bundle of bills and pushed them through the cage window. "Not fives, if you' please, they are too bunglesome," the young woman said. "1 prefer tens and twenties and larger."
