Greece Comes to U. S.
as Piece of Baggage
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Apr. 2—With
a baggage ciieck conspicuously display
eel in the lapel of his coal, Peter Semo.s
aged 2d, American citizen, but unable
to speak a word of English, completed
a long and strange journey when he
landed in his father’s arms here as
human baggage.
Born in Chicago, Peter had lived in
Greece with his grandparents since his
i babyhood.
A. P. Semos, restaurant and hotel
j owner here, wanted his son to come
back to his native land. To insure
his safe arrival here, the father de

the Atlantic and traveled by train as
a parcel of baggage.
Tests Railroad Speed
Compared to Radio fey
Buying Himself Ticket
AMES, la., April 2—Stanley Whit
acre, 12, son of M. M. Whitacre, of
this city, struck a puzzling mathemat
ical problem in school today. The vex
ing problem was:
“If a small boy is riding away from
home at the rate of 60 miles an hour
on a railroad train and has a two
hour's start over a radio message trav
eling at the rate of 186,000 miles a
i second, how far will he have traveled
before the message overtakes him.”
Stanley could not work out this ob
| struse problem satisfactorily in the
school room, so he left hurriedly, with
| out notifying his parents, and took
passage on a Northwestern train for
Chicago to put it to a practical test.
, WO, broadcasting station of the Io
I wa State College, at Ames, assisted
! the boy in his scientific researches by
flashing his description to all points
of the compass.
Joseph L. Moss, chief probation offi
cer at Chicago, acted as judge of the
test and pronounced in a telegram to
Stanley’s parents here that the boy
was certain he would not have to seek
further for the answer to this particu
lar problem.
The father is a pressman on the
Ames Daily Tribune.
