Buhl, 24, at Brooklyn Police Headquarters on Thursday night a few hours after he was arrested at the request of postal inspectors, vanished into thin air today when the man confessed that his account of a $300,000 mail robbery at Alton, on August 23, 1923, was all a piece at fiction. He drew on a very vivid imagina-i tion, he said, because when he waa arrested he remembered the New Jersey authorities had several indictments against him and he figured that If he confessed to an Illinois robbery he would be taken to that state.

Then, he said, he would soon be able to obtain his freedom and would be safe from the New Jersey police. He made his second confession last night after being questioned for many hours by postal and express company detectives. Personals Mrs. Ben F. Wod will spend Sunday visiting In St.

You cannot keep a love a static thing any more than you can keep your child always a baby. To )f sure the thrill of courtship and ly married love is a wonderful thing that one would not want to miss. Just as babyhood is an exquisite thing.

But by the law of life tb-j baby must grow and change and s.j must the love And yet not necessarily lose any of its strength or beauty. In the first thrill of love we love each other because we see no faults. Afterwards we love each other in spite of faults.
