Robberies land murders and other
crimes are taking place at this time
all over the country. There Is much
discussion as to what causes so much
crime OF all sorts Just at this time Of
the year. Many and varied are the
explanations for 1t.
In the city over Sunday at least a
dozen robberies, big and little, were
reported some definitely and others
with reports that men about premises
where they had no business to be were
seen. Aman ut the Carrico hotel says
he lost 1920 from his room. Another
man reports the loss Of 81 1870 and watch
and chain from the Roush House. a
tall man wearing a slouch hat was re-
ported to be hanuging about the Ma,
sonic building apartments last night.
It is said he tried to enter one or two
Of these apartments. On the South
Side the police were called to q home
where q yobber attempted to enter but
before the police arrived the robber es.
caped. "A man reported to the sheriff,s
office this morning that he was held
up on Pennsylvania avenue last nigh,
and relieved Of his pocketbook CON
tanning bills. He says: Il asked the
rpbber to please let me have my pock.
etbook back anyway and he handed
| 1t to me instead Of throwing It away
as was his intention. When I got
home / discovered he had missed q $40
tbill!"
Officers were called to a number Of
homes but before they arrived, the
burglars disappeared SO no arrests
were made. .ss
Report on the matter at the court
house this morning brought this, re-
mark: There ought to be more police
about the city at different places. The
police ought to receive more encour-
agement also 80 that they would be In
spired to do better work" Z

A State Business Training
School, requiring certain units
for entrance. is suggested by Mr..
X. p. Stanland, of the Southern
Business sCollege, of Jackson,
Miss. A central business train
inc school, properly conducted,
with advisory supervision over
commercial departments in high
and agricultural schools, might.
in our opinion, aid the yublic
schools IN stimulating pupils to
acquire business efficiency along
with text book knowledge and
disciplinary training.
The financial backing which
the state would give ~ an insti-
tuition of this kind would be re-
flected through county superin-
tendents and other school author
tiles. and, in this way, mightwork
great benefit TO the public schools
In that ii would emphasize the
importance of a technical busl-
ness training and inspire many
boys and girls TO better bal

idea is progressive and fits well
into the needs of the times as
greater demand for specially
trained business people is be-
coming more evident as the
country strides forward towards
commercial importance.

the county.
Mr.. Komp has been doing work in

DIR. Williams, and we are very anx-
ious to take up the malaria campaign
in northeast Mississippi. All of
the expenses attached to Mr. Komp
will, of course, be taken care of out

work in cooperative way, one-half
Of the expense being borne by the
state, and the other half by local

usual opportunity, and if you do not
grasp it, you will make great mis-

wish you would talk it over with
Mr.. Komp, and he will give you all

he matter. 1t will be well for you
