Link to Parkway Open
At Jefferson Valley
The three-mile parkway spur from
the Bronx Parkway extension Putnam
county line was opened to traffic as far
as Jefferson Valley Road, U. & Route
6, last week.
The connection Is part of the 30mile
Bronx River Parkway Extension
developed with State funds by the
Park Commission as local agents for
the State. The spur branches off near
Orompound Road from the unique
"loop" section which separates the
traffic going north to Putnam county,
bridging It over the Bear Mountain
traffic which swings westward on a
wide curve toward PeekskilL
Pending completion of the Eastern
State Parkway project, the connection,
also called the 'Taconic Spur," will be
opened only to Jefferson VaUey at
Shrub Oak, a distance of two and onehalf
miles. This section, however, will
afford a convenient route between Mahopac
and Carmel and the Bronx
River Parkway and its extension.
Paving operations under contract
with the Division of Highways with
Federal aid money from the county
line north for a distance of six miles
to PeekskiU Hollow road Just south of
Roaring Brook and Fahnestock State
Reservations. This section is scheduled
for completion by July, 1933, providing
a through route well into Putnam
county.
Crooked Trees
Make Good Fuel
That a crooked stick burns just as
well as a straight one should be the
guiding rule in cutting the winter fuel
supply. The demand for wood as a coal
substitute will be greater this year
than In any year since the coal strike,
and the temptation will be to clear
cut a wooded area as the quickest and
cheapet way to get the needed' cords
of wood, says J. A. Cope of the department
of forestry at Cornell University.
But a judicious use of the axe
in cutting crooked, diseased, defective,
forked and leaning trees, will assure
the winter's fuel and the wood lot is
left In better shape for future growth.
Big, limby, wolf trees, particularly
of beech, take up too much room in
the wood lot. Such trees should be
used for fuel to allow the better kinds
to grow into straight timber. On a
conservative estimate hard wood wood
lots may be expected to yield from
half a standard cord of wood to threequarters
of a cord to the acre each
year without lessening the capital
growing stock. Wise cutting in the
wood lot proves an exception to the
maxim "you can't eat your cake and
have it too" for one can certainly burn
fuel wood and have a better wood lot,
he says.

Guernsey Leads
New York Sires
The Guernsey bull. Reservation Pirate
87216, owned by L. T. Hull, of
Wyoming comity, leads dairy sires of
all breeds in New York state for transmitting
high production of butterfat
to his daughters as recognized by the
United States department of agriculture,
according to S. J. Brownell, of
the New York state college of agriculture.
Records show that five daughters of
this bull averaged 10,518 pounds of
milk and 589 pounds of butter to the
cow a year. The production of the
mothers of these daughters averaged
8,148 pounds of milk and 461 pounds
of butterfat. This is an increase of
2,370 pounds of milk or 29.1 per cent
and 128 pounds of fat or 27.8 per cent.
The five daughters gave a total of
648 pounds more of butterfat a year
than their mothers. With butterfat at
forty cents a pound, the Reservation
Pirate is in increasing his owner's income
about $256 a year.
This record is all the more remarkable,
Professor Brownell points out,
because the mothers produced an average
of as much as 461 pounds of
butterfat. Many breed bulls can increase
the production of their daughters
when used in herds that average
300 pounds of butterfat, but few bulls
can increase a 400-pound herd average.
Only eight of the 112 proved sires
of all breeds In New York state have
daughters that average more than 500
pounds of butterfat to the cow a year
in dairy herd Improvement associations.
Reservation Pirate 87216 replaces the
Jersey bull, Maple Slope Gypsy Gamboge,
that previously held the State
record with 8,478 pounds of milk and
550 pounds of butterfat. Following Reservation
Prlate in order of transmitting
ability the second and third bulls
are Jerseys and the next 25, in order,
are Holsteins.
Of the 112 bulls proyed through
dairy herd improvement associations
in New York state, 11 are Guernseys.
Of these 11 three have transmitted an
average production of more than 466
pounds of butterfat to their daughters.
Four Guernsey bulls increased
the milk production of their daughters
as compared with that of the bulls'
own dams and five have increased the
butterfat of their daughters as compared
with the mothers of these
daughters.
In the good old days of 1929 it was
two cars for every family and now it
is two families in every car.

MASTER GEM THIEF
TELLS POLICE HOW
HE PULLED JOBS
"Robin Hood" Obtained Infor-
•nation About Jewels on
Handball Court.
Newark, N. J.—Affable, cultured,
yet well versed In the jargon of the
underworld, Arthur Barry, regarded as
America's most cunning and dangerous
Jewel robber, gave police details of his
astonishing career of crime.
He pictured himself as a sort of
modern, romantic Robin Hood who
robbed only the wealthy, from which
he confessed, police said, of thieving
between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 in
gems.
Barry, who made a daring escape
from Auburn prison three years ago,
was captured in a farmhouse near
Andover, N. J., by a ruse. He accepted
his arrest qnietly, but regretted
he had no chance to "shoot It ont"
with the detectives. He remarked:
Life Term Awaits Him.
"If I'd had the chance I'd have shot
It out until the last bullet, and kept
that for myself. What's waiting for
me nowT The book."
"The book" Is thieves' Jargon for
life Imprisonment.
Barry insisted he had nothing to do
with the Lindbergh baby kidnaping.
He was questioned about the abduction,
because a ladder was found at
the scene of the kidnaping, and because
a footprint might have been
that of a lame man.
Barry frequently used a ladder, and
he is lame from a hip wound.
The thief disclosed he had enough
of the proceeds of bis criminal career
to yield an Income of nearly $100 a
week.
Robbed Only Wealthy.
Long Island, Miami, Palm Beach and
Key West were the most profitable
fields for his operations, Barry told
inquisitors. Be said:
The fat old matrons there loved
to play handball with me. I'd find out
where they lived, and then put on a
surprise party for them.
"I robbed only the wealthy. If a
woman can carry around a pearl
necklace, she knows where her breakfast
is coming from.
"She knows where she can get
strawberries and cream In December,
even if.that pearl necklace Is gone."
Drops Funeral Plans
Because "Corpse" Lives 1
New York.—Tbe de luxe funeral
that was planned for Daniel Sullivan
of New York city never came off—rbecause
Daniel wasn't dead.
He seemed as sorry about everything
as did the others who had gone
to considerable trouble preparing to
put him away.
"Go tight on thinking Pm dead," he
told his yonng wife Madeleine. "It's
okay by me. M
Mrs. Sullivan decided the thing to
do was to get a divorce or an annulment
Daniel left home in July with
a casual goodby and failed to return.
Mrs. Sullivan was much concerned,
but there wasn't anything she could
do about it
Recently she read that "Daniel Sullivan"
bad drowned and that his body
was being held In tbe morgue. She
Identified the body as that of her Daniel.
She sent a mortician to give Daniel
a funeral be could be proud of.
While on ber way to tell some friends
about bis death she came face to
face with Daniel.
"You're dead!" she exclaimed.
"You're cuckoo," retorted Daniel.
"Give me S3."
"I'll give you the air," said Mrs.
Sullivan.

fight and while one coiled itself about
the dog the others went for the hunters.
All were shot, however, and the
