NATURALLY HENRY
WAS WORTHY
Young Hoodlu1ns Steal Fall
Festival Adornments
Last Night

Henry Downey was in a towering
rage this morning. Twelve pumpkins
used in cfcorating the ornamental
light posts on Calumet avenue for the
Fall Festival had been stolen last
night.
Now the ordinary way Of handling
such situation would have been for
Henry 20 insert a notice IN the paper
warning the culprits that they ARE
known and unless the pumpkins are
returned az once they viii be prose-
cuted to the fullest extent Of the
,,s,,. lhen he would have waited in
vain for their return
The main objection to this scheme
Is that as a rule the culprits are not
known and the culprits know 1t.
Mr.. Downey has a better scheme. He
has an idea that II was done by a gang
cf young roughnecks which he sadly
admits still infests the east side He
is willing TO give them a chance. II
the pumpkins are quietly returned
nothing more Will be said Other
wise. Downey viii give a list Of the
suspects to the policemen who will be
on duty on the avenue during the cele-
bration with instructions TO shag them
of the street whenever they are spot
ted in the crowd. This he believes
would be worse punishment to the
youngsters than a fine or Jail sentence.
