GOODNESS.

Do not be selfish in your good
ness. Your goodness is Of no
use if you are not good to 9TH
ers. The good of goodness is
that you can wrap others in
side it. 1t ought to be like a big
cloak that you have on, on a cold
night, while the %shivering per-
son next to you has none. If
you don't make use of your
goodness, what is the good of
it?-Mrs. Clifford.

Bulgarians Repulse Infantry
Attacks of Allies.
Saloniki Drive Growing, Four
Villages Seized.

go London, Aug. 17.-Heavy fighting
son the Balkan front is reported in an
official Bulgarian statement received
today from Sofia. The allied forces
delivered strong infantry attacks
which, according to the statement,
were repulsed.
1.-The fighting occurred in the region
of Lake Doiran, northwest of Sa1oniki,
near the Greco-Srrbian border. Sew
eral encounters have taken place re-
comfy in this vicinity but the official
Bulgarian statement indicates that
larger forces are being employed
against the Bulsar;ans.
ION the evening of August / ~ the
statement says, "the eremy's artillery
opened a violent bomba rdment of our
advanced positions south and west of
Lake Dorian Under cover of this fire
the eneny's infantry attacked but was
repulsed.
The bonbardment continued and
on the morning of the 18th the in
fartry alta cked with conside ra bic

Bandits Have an
Easy Time in Kansas.
Too Much Mercy Has Been Ex-
tended the Thieves.
OFFICERS LOSE THEIR "REP"
After Long Hot Chase Owners
Fail to Prosecute.
Thirty-Nine Thefts Reported
Since the First of July.

Automobile bandits in Kansas have
stolen an average of motor car day
in Kansas this summer. That was the
statement issued today by Curtis
Myers. in charge of the state autoDo-
bile department, in the office of :. 7.
Botkin, secretary of state. Reports
received by Myers since July 1. show
thirty -nine motor car thefts. Myers
believes an accurate record would
show the loss of an average of car a
day.
Added to all of Myerss troubles Is
the fact that his campaign against
motor car thieves must overcome the
pleas of sob squad" that promptly
pleads for clemency when a thief is ar
rested. Tender mercy which has ex-
tended to tho motor car thieves has
had tendency to lessen the activities
Myers declares. Members of police
and sheriff forces have lost much of
their enthusiasm when guilty parties
have been paroled or released without
prosecution after long. hard chsses
across the state-sometines across
several states.
This year Myers is compiling data
of much value to officials in their
search for stolen cars. In addition to
record of the name and number of
cars. Myers is compiling a record
showing the engine number of every
easy matter for fleeing motor car
thief to destroy the engine number on
car and thru Myers's record many
stolen cars have been recovered and a
number of arrests made. Now he is
encountering a new difficulty in the
pleas for mercy which aid a man in
regaining his liberty once he is ar
rested
Sob Squad Intcrfcres.
This sniveling sob squad is one of
the most difficult things we encoun-
ter" said Myers today. "A number
of men arrested through information
from this department, have been re-
leased because there was plea for
mercy when the thief was arrested.
That isn't all. Car owners who want
ed to lynch the thief when their car
was missed, were willing to compro-
mise for a few dollars and drop the
prosecution when the car was re-
turned and the thief arrested.
"Our records show reports of thirty
nine automobile thefts since July !. II
is probable we have not received re-
ports of all stolen cars and there is
little doubt that complete record foI
the summer will show the theft of an
average of one car day in Kansas
In many instances cars were stolen
by local talent. Other cases indicated
the existence of a well organized gang
of motor car thieves. To stop the
wholesale stealing of cars and to en-
courage officers in their work, Myers
has urged local motor car owners and
| organizations to insist on prosecutions
wherever arrests are made and evil
dence indicates conviction
Unless these cases are prosecuted
much of the protection of the car cwn-
| ers is lost" declared Myers at is g
mighty soft snap for a man to steal a
| car with the chance that he will gel
| a nd a ri n hat r
promise for the price of a few gallons
of gasoline if he be caught
