WAR CRATER ESCAPE JUSTICE
Federal Officials Have Been Negligent It Is Claimed and Men Who Prof. teered at Public Expense Not
 to Be Prosecuted.
EXTRA sPECTALl

Washington, Nov. n.-War-time profteers, crooks and sharpers who defrauded the government of millions of dollars in connection with war con- struction and supplies, unless they al- ready have been indicted or convicted will face no prosecution.
 They are as free from any criminal action as tho they had been tried and acquitted.
 They may later find themselves de- fendants in suits brought by the gov ernment to recover money paid on fraudulent deals or illegal contracts, but these can be only civil suits which will put no one behind prison bars.
 Expiration of the three-year limit within which. any criminal action, not capital, must be instituted, has shut the door to prosecution.
 Except, perhaps, in a few scatter ing cases in which frauds against the government were committed in ad- iusting war contracts following the signing of the armistice, the govern ment, by inaction. has forfeited it's right to prosecute and punish.
 The Department of Justice will not give out any estimate as to the num- Der of cases in which immunity is bestowed because of the inactivity of that department in beginning prose cution.
 Guy D. Golf, assistant to the at torney general, has been placed in charge of prosecutions and litigation growing out of our war activities.
 The special committee of Congress winch investigated war expenditures reported almost 20 months ago that fin the judgment of the committee enough irregularities and fraudulent practices have been uncovered" to warrant prompt and vigorous prose- cution in scores of cases.
 In the construction of army. camps alone the committee declared there had been leakage of approximately $S0 100000.
 Many expenditures, the report de- clares, were obviously tainted with fraud"

 A Santa Barbara dealer sponsored the first Announcement of this inter- estink reqelation. Los Angeles shoe f1erchants say he is right.
 And the reason? It's the ubiquit- oz1s allfomobile. As the purring cars multiply in number women take fewer stepS. Their tootsies no longer are yph]ected to the strain of pounding t1e gravel all day long.

NEW VALVE GRINDs ITSELF
 WHEN OPENED OR CLOSED

A valve, with rnetalto-metal seat, that should never have to be taken apart for regrinding, because it grinds itself each time it is opened or closed, is now on the market, says Popular Mechanics Magazine for De- cember, in an illustrated article. This self-grinding is made possible by a construction that allows the valve to be given one turn after it is seated, without causing it to move any closer to it's seat, upon which it is held firm ly by a spring. In opening it, the valve makes this same turn backward before it begins to leave it's seat.

SCIENTIST EATS WORMS:
 AND so DO MANY PEOPLE

New York, Nov. 10.-Worms may be on the menu of the American fam fly if the experiments of scientists are prophetic. Dr. J. M. Aldrich of the National Museum recently ap- proved of them after sampling the kind eaten by the Mono Lake, Cali fofnia, Indians, says the November Mentor Magazine.
 Ants are eaten in Africa. In Bor- neo they are mixed with rice. Queens land natives make a drink like lem onade out of green ants. Locusts are a staple article of food in the Near East. De La Lande, the celebrated French astronomer, urged the eating of caterpillars and spiders and ate them himself.

 In fact, as many see it tonight, MT. HaahcS intends to hurl the American case before the world as he has the naval reduction offer.
