The Automobile and Crime.

The automobile has made new
chapter in the annals Of crime. By
its aid the criminal can cultivate a
much wider field of activity, and
what is more important, can avoid
or escape pursuit as never before.
In the days of the stage coach the
mounted highwayman could get
away over lonely healths, but when
the railroad came and travel moved
on fixed rails escape became more
difficult. The telegraph aided the
law, but the railroad even more, be-
cause the criminal, if he wished to
leave the neigfborhood Of his crime
at once, had to submit to the pub
sicity of raiulroad train as pas
senger who must pass the scutiny OF
the station and train officials or
steal a ride with good chance of dis
covery.
But the automobile avoids that
and gives the criminal far more than
, the mobility of his forerunner. the
highwayman. He has at least all
the roads at his command and can
cover an enormous radius at a speed
which almost defies pursuit. With a
fair start he can get away from cities
and even telegraph stations.
The automobile therefore comrels
a change in our police methods and
facilities. Surveillance of roads
must be stricter. In France, where
the automobile was at once adopted
by bandits, plan was finally de-
vised by which roads running out
Of cities were blocked off during GER
tain hours and every one within the
block was investigated. By. follow
ing this plan persistently and thor
oughly criminals using the automo-
bile were caught from time to time
and the roads weresap longer easy
exits for retreat. 1t may be neces-
sary to resort to some such plan iii
our cities.
Another suggestion is for requr-
ing every one driving an automobile
to carry an Identification card, with
necessary facts and photograph.
These could be demanded at any
time by the police and would serve
as an important check. The card
by description of car and driver
would establish the right of the card
holder to be driving the car.
Rules and regulations are irh.
some TO Americans. We would rath-
er take chance with criminal
than be subjected to casual annoy
.anee by aapolice officer, So what
|sver ispappiiea as check upon crime
Ior in Gid Of the law must be made
sas little troublesome to the public
as possible, II It is too exacting it
will not be enforced. But the au-
tomobile in crime has become too
dangerous an element of contempor-
AIRY society to be met by the methods
OF past times. 1t offers a problem
hard to solve.

CITIZENS URGED TO HELP oLRAaS
UP CITY DURING THE i ].
COMING WEEK s#gS>,

Next week, Sunday, May !, to Satur-
day, May z, inclusive, is "Clean-up and
Paint-up Week" in Little Falls and
an urgent appeal is made by Mayor
BerQheim and Fire Chief Batters to the
people of the city, that they join hands
In q campaign to clean up the city and
make it q healthier and more beauti-
full place in which to live.
Mayor Bergheim, speaking of the
cleanup campaign, stated that the best
evidence of proper community Prlde IS
the interest shown in matters of this
kind. 1t is our duty to promote con-
servation and production in every way
possible; to conserve health and proper
ty and to increase commercial and in
dustrial as we'll as food production, that
all may be enabled as well % urged to
save for our national and ouy personal
prosperity, he said. & - S.
1t is pointed out that cleanliness,
thrift and civic pride are the essentials
not only for homes and towns beautiful
but for those that are kept safe from
the -favaKos of diseases, fire and weath.
er. Cellars and attics should be
cleared of the accumulations of trash
and fire risk and liberal coats of paint
should be applied wherever the .ele'
ments have begun to get sin their
work, while walls and floor may be
made sanitary by paint and varnish'
The work of paint in bringing hygiene,
color and cheer to the home il discount
ed, however, if the back yard is left to
afford a hiding place for disease breed
ing trash and refuse.
The solgan in the coming campaign
which begins May /, is "Oean Up
Paint Up, and Keep it Up"
