Monarch's Burial Place ? Not Definitely Known There is some uncertainty as to the flnal reRtlng place of Alexander tho Great, who died at ItnbyJon. The body was prepared for transportation to Macedonia, and Philip -Arridncns, whom the army chose to succeed Alexander conjointly with the latter's posthumous son, was entrusted with the funeral rites. He left Babylon with the body, Intending to convey it to Greece. Tho accounts as to what happened after that are conflicting. It seems that Philip learned that during his life Alexander had expressed n desire to be interred in Egypt. Philip therefore altered his course and went to Egypt. Lagus, one of Alexander's favorite generals, who was satrap of Kffypt, got possession of the body and placed it temporarily at Memphis. Lator, It is supposed, it was interred with great pomp at lhe now city of Alexandria. The Ampersand The sign is called the ampersand. The term is a corruption of the expression "and per se and." meaning "and by Itself Is and," which refers to the fact that the sign when followed by n o (Sic) means nnd so forth. More common nowadays In this nse is "etc.." tlie abbreviation of the Latin words of cetera. The script ampersand, a cross made with one stroke of the pen. is still very common. In type the ampersand is most commonly used in the abbreviation of firm names. More Suitable A young man bought a .very old oar. Informing his father of the fact, he said, "I say.

Turn^nif tbe Tables The husband, who had a great habit of tensing Ids wife, was out motoring In the country with her when they met a farmer driving n pnlr of mules. Just as fhe.v were about to pass the fanner's turn-out. the mules turned their heads toward the motor-car nnd brn.ved vociferously.

' * ' ? . '? I LIGHTS > &5jHE ; of NEW YORK J I'oljce Commissioner Edward |?, Mulrooney is a ruther quiet man. but. when lie Ih In the mood, one of the most interesting talkers 1 know, lie has a keen, observing mind, a thorough understanding of police problems and the relation between the force and the > public, a tremendous knowledge of human nature, and a grand sense of humor. Why shouldn't he haye with a name such as Mulrooney? The policing of a city such us New York culls for a commissioner with strength and judgment, and Mulrooney has both. I imagine he cau he pretty firm and cold on occasion; but you can't talk to tho man long without hearing the heat of the warm Irish heart In him. You may suspect that I like Mulrooney. and I do. Maybe It Is because w<f> both hre old-fashioned enough to like big league baseball better than midget golf and agree that the big Frenchman, Larry > Lujole, wus t|ie most graceful player we ever snw. 0 * "Who would have supposed," says Commissioner Mulrooney, "that you ever would see a Tom Thumb golf course on Fiftieth street? It makes you think that Manhattan real estate may not he so valuable after all. But they are keeping these courses open n little late. I think an ordinance will he passed to close them at 1 a. m. Thai's late enough for any golfer to- get home. These places are getting to need a little regulation." - * * I said that afulrooney had a sense of humor. He also has a sense of drama, lie can tell you stories that would keep you listening for hours, and he always holds his. suspense and drops his curtain on the big thrills. 1 asked him whether good detective work?-be once was head of the detective bureau?was not mainly perseverance, courage and common sense. He said a hue detective must have more than that, one of his greatest qiu?lincat-ioiis?heing the ability to put himself In the other man's place and.' from that angle, figure his line of . thought. lie Illustrated his point. * "We got word," said Mulrooney. "that an embezzler, who was badly wanted, was heading for New York on a railroad with its terminal ,Jn New Jersey. That meant he would have to come in on a train ferry, so we covered them all. Those were the days of horses; it was before tnxlcabs had come in. We had received such short notice that by the time the detective i who went to the Twenty-third street ferry got there, the boat he wanted to meet was in and the passengers gone. He knew all the hackmen, bur ?that wnsn't going to get him any thing. They were a tough lot and i! -was not in their code to help n cop. Still he asked them if they had driven anywhere a man such as he described. No, they had seen no such man. What with handling bags and the confusion of a boat crowd, they had not time to ' take note of people they drove. ~ > . "It was then." continued Mulrooney. "that the man showed real qualities as a detective. " 'I'm sorry!' he exclaimed. T cor talnly did want to got that fellow. It's a shame he got away.' " 'What did he do?' asked one of the hackmen. - ,<=xu-- > "The detective knew that if he explained the mfln made off with a lot of dough the hnckmen would wish Mm all the luck In the world, so ho used a bit of imagination. * Y * f "'The dirty skunk!' said the hackman. 'Now that I come to think of it. I do remember a man like that one you describe. The driver who took him isn't back yet, but he'll ho hack r in a minute and we'll find out where 1 he went. You wait.' "So the detective waited. Sure 1 enough, the driver returned and all the hackmen gathered around him. as eager as the detective for news mf his fare. When he heard the details, ha took- the detective In his hack and made good time to a hotel. There was 1 - the man, who soon was on his way to 1 the police station. The hackman certainly had done their bit in the cap1 ture, but they had acted under a slightly mistaken impression. "You see," concluded Mulrooney, 1 "the detective hadn't mentioned rmi bezzlement. He told them thnt the man had murdered his old mother and cut off her head with a razor." ((?) 1930. Holl Syndicate.) Boxing Is New "Study" Aberdeen, S.
