...Case. A Jew, one Leon Beron. was found murdered and robbed on Clapham Common. The letter S was roughly carved on his cheeks. A black-and-red silk handkerchief, a paper bag from Whitechapel, some stab marks evidently made by a tall, strong, left-handed man were the clews. Sleuth Wrensley tracked and arrested Notorious Murderer "Steinie" Morrison...

Panting, with clenched teeth and tousled hair, Mary Radvanny and Sussanne Winghardy...
...cars of a new fuel gas to Lakehurst. The German dirigible in its flight to the U. S. last year, used gas instead of gasoline as fuel for its engines?the reason being that when gasoline is used up, an airship becomes lighter and rises unless some of its bag gas is also set free, a costly expedient.
