TRAPS" FOR BANK ROBBERS
All Sorts Of Ingenious contrivaness
pesior sd to Guard Financial In
stitutions From Criminals.

Bank robbing has become so pop
ular a sport with daring criminals
nowadays precautions are taken
which would not have been thought
Of few years ago. Bank employees
are regularly drilled for action in
case of holdup or raid, the in
slant performance of Q certain duty
by each man being required.
As q result, in number of recent
instances daring attempts at rob
berry have resulted in the capture of
the bandits.
The latest idea in this line for
the protection of banks is q system
Of automatic doors which may be
closed at moments notice by push
ing any one of a number Of buttons
distributed through the bank. BY
this means the enterprising bandits
may be shut in and actually made
prisoners, while simultaneously an
alarm summons the police. Expert
ence has shown that the boldest
burglar, once trapped and unable to
escape, becomes terrified and HARM
less, submitting readily to arrest.
One bank in New York city has
both its inner and outer doors
equipped with the automatic closing
mechanism, so that if the robber
reaches the outer doors the inner
ones shut behind him and he is
trapped in the vestibule.

crashed an inkwell onto the foor
and caused Babu to give unmistsk-
able proof that he clearly heard the
noise. The prisoner then Dragged
how he had deceived various mill
tsry authorities, adding: Judges
certainly have more of the wisdom
Of Solomon than any doctors. -

WASHINGTON, Aug. .,.-Demand is growing from women Of the coun- try that President Harding name a woman on the American deiegation to the disarmament conference. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of Ohio prob ably will be the choice of the admin istrations
 Here are views of some national women's leaders on the question of permitting a woman to sit on the delegation:
 MISS FLORENCE KING, Chicago, president National Woman's Associa- tion of Commerce.: Members of the disarmament conference should be persons of unusual ability, clear vi sion and an understanding of the com plicated problems. Women should not be barred because of sex, nor should not be appointed solely in or der that women might sit. If the president can find women whose abil- ity and constructive ideas would aid in bringing about conditions necessary to effect disarmament, he should con Sider them the same as men.
 MRS. EDWARD F. WHITE, deputy attorney general of Indiana and legis- lative chairman, General Federation of Women's Clubs: If President Harding can find woman qualified to sit by reason of study and exper- fence with questions of diplomacy or foreign policies and with capacity for effective collaboration with other American conferees, she should be ap- pointed. She would represent group of citizens who have almost unani- mously endorsed the principle of dis armament. 1 believe there are such women.
 MRS. MAUDE WOOD PARK, Wash ington, president League of Women Voters: My position is best shown by this resolution adopted by the
