MERCHANTS TO GIVE $500
Robbers Wanted, Dead or Alive, b,
Kansas Retailers.

Robbing stores IN Kansas is going
to be elassed as an extremely hazard
GUS occupation in the future.
With the stimulus Of $500 re-
ward offered for the arrest and con
victlon of any person taking goods
valued at 500 or over, or a like
amount II the person attempting the
theft Is killed, officers and the pub
lie generally are expected to be alert
In watching over the property Of
merchants.
An organization has been perfect
ed among members OF the Kansas
Retailers association which will be 4
duplication of the Kansas Bankers
plan for protecting its
members. The bureau for the sup
hression Of store robbery will fiaunt
glarlng yellow sign where the most
blind or absent minded burglar can
not help but notice that $500 reward
will be paid fer his arrest or DEATH
Like the bankers, the merchants are
not very particular as to the physical
condition in which their enemies are
delivered. Just so they are delivered.
In the past year more than $780,
600 worth Of goods have been stolen
from merchants IN this state. II is
to prevent this enormous overhead
expense that the big yellow posters
cautioned in screaming black letters,
dead of alive, $500 reward" bring
ing back a grim reminder OF the old
wild west days are being distributed.
A stop is expected to be admins
tered TO further robberies by the
new association with its large re-
wards. Certainly, the sight Of the
dead or alive posters is calculated
TO send Skinny shivers' chasing
each other up and down the spines OF
prospective store burglars.
The new association Is purely 2
thief catching enterprise and does
not provide any sort Of burglary IN
surance

COMMERCE DEPARTMENT
SHOWS INCREASED FORCE
Appointment Division Reports Ap-
proximately 1880 Employees at
End of Fiscal Year.

There were approximately 12.349
persons in the permanent employ of
the Departments of Commerce at the
end of the fiscal year. J 919, as against
1881 at the same time in 1918, says
the annual report of the chief of the
appointment division, made public to-
day. There were 1892 temporary en-
ployes of the department on July l.,
1919, and of the total number 2,507
lived in the District of Columbia and
were employed in the various divis-
ions of the department.
Only Al per cent of the total num-
Der of employees of the department
considered took all of their annual
leave during 1919, as compared with
So per cent in 1917.
Concerning salaries and the high
cost of living the chief of the divi-
sion says the Nolan compensation bill
now before Congress is an attempt to
minimize the hardship involved in the
combination of low salary and high
cost of living in cases where it bears
most heavily. ut is. however, but a
partial solution of the problem" he
says 1.-The present 5000 entrance salary
for clerks should be abolished. Even
with the bonus 1T is not sufficient to Sc
cure experienced clerks. The entrance
compensation for clerks should be at
least $1,000 per annum. which is not
more than is paid in many places for
common labor"

FAVORS BOYS ATTENDING
MEETINGS OF CITIZENS
President Westlake of Federation
Also Endorses Junior
Associations,

w. B. Westlake. president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
today gave his personal Endorsement
to the suggestion of Superintendent
of Schools Thurston that high school
boys be permitted to attend the meet
ings of the citizens organizations to
receive training in good citizenship.
Il think the plan a commendable
one" said Mr.. Westlake. and 1 am
sure the boys of high school age will
be welcomed at any time to attend
the meetings of the federation"
Mr.. Westlake pointed out that of
course the Junior citizens" could not
vote or take part in discussions at
the association meetings, but their
presence would do much to make them
good citizens when they grow into
manhood.
II do not believe" said the president
of the federation. that it is necessary
for the association to amend their
constitutions to permit the boys to sit
in al the meetings.
Il think it would be good idea.
though. to have the boys who attend
the meetings form Junior associations
and meet at their schools as the boys
of Western High School are doing.
meetings would be much the same as
the practice of medical students at
tending a clinic of physicians"
The civic leader pointed out that the
boys could gain valuable training in
good citizenship by listening to the
public questions taken up at the
neighborhood meetings and then dis
GUESSING these questions in their own
way in their junior associations.
