WHICH NOVEL TO READ?

With the definite object of learning what he

1t will make US somewhat more charitable to-

COMBING THE COUNTRY.

The difference between the alertness Of offend
against the law and the police is cuttngy illus
trated by the story Of young bandit who robbed
a mail truck two years ago and spent the time since
in burning up the $45c00 he says he obtained by
the exploit. Immediately after the hodup In Indi-
Gnapolis he went to his home in Chicago where he
persuaded a sweetheart to elope with him. The
pair went to Milwaukee for several days and re-
turned to Chicago. Then trip to Los Angeles fol-
lowed, where the youthful travellers were married
the using his own name under which he was
known from that time forward. while the police
were theoretically bombing the country for him.
He spent s25 900 learning to manipulate an AFT
plane and buying three machines. Once he was ar
rested for speeding automobile and was much
amused to see a big circular with his picture and
description or wall of the police court where he
was fined. No recognized him. The law did
not touch him until he returned to Chicago and
surrendered--his money all spent. This is almost
a match for the story Of the New York fugitive who
drove his along line of 10000 policemen al
supposed to have his face memorized and many Of
whom knew him. Not one recognized him and he
laughingly drove away. 1t is evident the police do
not take the interest in their work that crooks
do in theirs.

PUBLIC OPINION.

The outcome of the strike episode should teach
the people of New Mexico lesson. crystallize1
public opinion boldly expressed, forced the union
executives to yield They frankly give that the
reason for calling off the strike. Public opinion
averted a great national calamity
Thus is exempfied again the power OF public
sentiment Aroused and militant, it is the most
Irresistible thing in the world
Why then have the people of New Mexico lain
supine under the evils which have afflicted them
for years? Because there has been crysallized
and militant public sentiment to compel correction.
Were the people generally alert to their duty and
privilege, the righting of wrongs would occur with
astonishing swiftness.
For years the people accepted unjust mine
tax law as inevitable. knowing we'll that the eva
sions by the mines threw the burden back the
rest of the people, they yet endured it. Only now,
under the influence of incessant pounding to arouse
public sentiment, is this evil in process of
ton.
The scandal of public monies deposited in banks
without interest, went on for years and years.
Endless agitation has been necessary to put par
tal stop to it, and the evil now is not entirely
cured Public opinion has held it to be politics -
instead of the crime against the people, which 1t is.
That the public official who gives or the banker
who accepts, such disgracefu special privilege, Is
tolerated as good official good citizen, shows
the low ebb of moral public sentiment.
Inc ponucal manipulation or the land Ottlce IL
another in point sacred heritage for our
children which was accepted by the state Il
solemn trust has been the plaything of the polti-
clans of public honor and decency suf-
ficient to put sto0 to it has not yet been crys-
tallized, although corrections have been made
in response to a growing sentiment.
We might recte instances indefinitely. The
oppressors of the people of New Mexico understood
the value of publicity in arousing public sentiment
Of hat
awakened. Therefore they controlled the avenues
of publicity in order to keep the public inert
If the people will only their power, through
public sentiment New Mexico will quickly right her
self and move to peace and prosperity. Head
way is being made but at a heart -breakingy slow
pace, militant courage the part of the public
to speak out would bring change swiftly.
Why be afraid? The powers which once ar
rogantly oppressed you and punished you too
far weakened to be aggressive They are in the
last defensive bitches The people should move up
and drive them out. Public sentiment can do II
easily.

PERIL IN SAFETY?

1t seems like paradox, but the Investigators OF
the federal bureau of public roads say their records
of accidents show that straightaway stretches that
have always been regarded safe are the scene Of
most motoring accidents
The explanation offered lies in the tendency to
step the gas when piece Of clear and good road
looms up. Around sharp curves on steep grades,
at grade crossings where danger is naturally feared
the average driver will be careful, but nearly all
will fall victim to the lure of straighaway stretch,
which by its inviting sense of security prompts him
to take chance.
4 Viewed in that light the reasoning seems sound,
but unless the records of the federal bureau differ
greatly from the records reported in the press the
facts against it. Most Of the accidents re-
ported have occurred on just such danger spots as
mentioned, perhaps because the motoring popula-
ton is yet far from being perfect IN the psychology
of caution. The fact of the matter. Of course, is
that there is safe place to throw caution to the
winds. The driver who does not wish to risk dis
aster will take chances, sternly resisting the i'm
pulse to speed up inviting stretches, we'll as
being careful where danger turks.

"Wooden Box and Crate Construc-
ton" Is the title of an interesting
book just received at the local for
est service office. This book was
prepared by the forest products Ia
boratory of the forest service and
published by the National Associa-
tion of Box Manufacturers of Chi
cago in the interests of better
built and standardized boxes and
crates.
Few people realize the impor-
tance of scientifieal studies of box
and crate construction, although
the large users of boxes have been
thoroughly alive to this subject for
many years because of tremendous
damage to freight shipments due
to faulty boxes. When 1t is found,
however, that the amount of lum-
Der used annually in manufacture
| Ing shipping containers is estimat-
ed at between five and six billion
| feet or nearly one-siXth of the to-
tai lumber cut of the United States
and that over thirty different kinds
| OF wood are used, the far-reaching
effect of such studies is readily
seen. Even in New Mexico and Ar
| iona, where one would naturally
suppose that the manufacture Of
boxes would be very limited, twen-
| ty-eight million feet of lumber are
annually used in box manufacture
