Don't Grumble.

Frequently you pick up one
Of the local papers and after
glancing at the head lines,
YEARLY thrust it aside, re-
marking nothing in the pa
per today. Did you ever
stop to think what that phrase
means? It means that since
the last issue no misfortune
has befallen anyone in the
city; that no fire has wiped
out neighbors worldly pos
sessions, that the grim angel
of death has not crossed the
threshold of a friend, that no
man driven by liquor, hatred
or fear has taken the life of a
fellow human; that no poor
devil, haunted by the past or
the misdeeds of some other,
has crossed the divide by his
own hand, So the next time
you pick up paper that does
not announce tragedy, give
a little think instead of
grum bling because there is
no news. Elk.

Expert Burglars

The confidence OF German manufacture
ers of safes in the resistance OF their
wares against ordinary afe-blowing op-
erations has been rudely shaken by the
recent achievements OF a single unaided
robber IN Dresden and other cities The
details of the last operation are reported
by United States Consul Norton, who
writes from Chemnitz as follows:
I'm a hotel a room was secured which
was situated Immediately above the office
OF money changer. At night a hole was
pierced in the ceiling of his office. BY the
use OF a drill and saw a circular piece OF
the flooring was easily raised Beneath
lay thick layer OF cement A small ORR
fee was made Is this and an umbrella
showed down into the space below. The
umbrella was attached firmly from above.
and when opened received without noise
all the fragments of cement which were
dislodged as the hole was enlarged SO as
to allow of the easy passage OF a person.
BY means OF a rope ladder the descent
was readily made into the office below.
Curtains were drawn and with heavy
blankets a tent was constructed around
the safe, so thick that no ray OF light
could pass through.
Next the robber brought down two
cylinders OF compressed oxygen and ar
acetylene generator charged with calcium
carbide and water. With these he was
able to produce a blow-pipe flame of such
intensity that steel fuses in II like lead In
an ordinary gas Jet. 1t required but a
brief space OF time to melt away so much
OF the door that all the contents of the
safe were accessible. They were carried
to the room above. At an early hour the
robber left his lodgings and disappeared
without trace.
1T is evident from this experience that
the builders of safes must provide for new
contingencies In their construction. The
simple. light, acetylese generators. now In
widespread use, and the equally simple
oxygen generators charged with water
and sodium peroxide. or the heavier cylin-
ders OF compressed oxygen, place at the
service OF the intelligent crook the possi-
bilities of opening the strongest safes In
existence rapidly and noiselessly, provid-
ed the operator can be screened from OBJ
servation"
