Avenue, As a usual thing thin people
who want to be fat and fat people
who vainly hope to be thin are the
chief users of these public weighing
machines.
But last night the scales were put
to a new use. Pedestrians on the
avenue saw a handsome 'Kripps-
Hooth'' speedster squirt down the ave
nue., swing into the curbing in front
of the store. Out stepped a dapper
looking young Chap of the type from
which the Harrow collar ADVERTISE
ments are probably drawn. He pick
ed up a big hamper of soiled laundry,
from the car. On top of the hamper
was a large bundle which the on
lockers decided contained some more
family wash" The man proceeded
to walk over and place it on the
scales. He weighed the bundles, took
them off, placed them on again, con
templated the registered numbers
with a gloomy stare, then picked up
the hamper and the bundle, and
slowly and leisurely crossed the side
walk, placed his clothes bundle in
off down the Avenue.

CINCY MAIL BANDITS
FACE POLICE DRAGNET
(By Associated Press)


CINCINNATI, O., April s. - Post
office inspectors and police early to-
day had failed to find any trace Of
three bandits who last night held up
United States mail truck here and
robbed it of three pouches of register
ed mail. Boarding the truck, as 1t
was leaving the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad station at Baymiller street,
the holdup men forced Joseph Arbino,
the driver, and Walter D. Huber, rail-
way mail clerk, to drive to secluded
alley, where the two were handcuffed
to the steering wheel Of their machine
Going to the rear of the truck, the
bandits, using duplicate key, unlock
ed the truck cage door and carefully
picked over sixty sacks Of mail to
select those containing registered mat
ter. Securing these the thieves leaped
from the truck with a warning to the
handcuffed men not to make an out
cry under penalty Of being shot, and
jumping into a waiting automobile es-
capped. The bandits were described as
being between 20 and 80 years old.
w. F. Diskin, postoffice inspector in
charge, said the work was not that OF
amateurs, but evidently that Of men
who knew their business well.
An estimate of the amount of loot
was unobtainable because of the fact
it was incoming matter from Detroit
and other points, and the facts will
not be disclosed until further inves-
tigation is made. The robbery was
the first of it's kind in Cincinnati.

policies.
. One is to develop well Informed
woman electorate in America, to reach
all women, teach them how to vote
and whom to vote for.
Hasten Legislation.
The other is to put through as rap
idly as possible program of legisla-
ton considered beneficial to the wom-
en- of the nation at large.
If amendments to the National
League bylaws prepared by the board
yesterday are adopted by the conven-
ton, national officers will be elected
by the delegates instead of being the
choices of elected regional directors.

WINCHESTER JURY
FINDS KELLY GUILTY

WINCHESTER, Ind. April s.
Found guilty Of robbing the Ridgeville
bank Dec 8. 1920. Eddie Kelley is be-
ing held here pending the outcome Of
a motion for a new trial. filed imme-
diately after the verdict was returned
late Thursday evening.
The jury found Kelley guilty after
hearing testimony of both sides of
the case that lasted several days.
Witnesses from Chicago attempted to
prove an alib, but the case of the
defense was badly shaken when three
witnesses on that side departed over
night following their admission that
they had testified falsely.
In view of his previous record,
which, it is said, involves several con.
victions and sentences served in Ohio,
it is likely that Kelley will be ad-
judged an habitual criminal, and in
this case the sentence imposed will
be life imprisonment.
The prisoner will not be sentenced
until arguments on the motion for a
new trial have been heard. according
to a sta tement by the court Friday.

RAIL EQUIPMENT IN
MEXICO INADEQUATE;
CONGESTION RESULTS
fBy Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, April S.-Conges-
tion of Mexican railroads has reached
critical stage, and commercial and
industrial interests of the country
have appealed to the government to
take extraordinary steps to relieve
the situation.
At Vera Cruz, Tampico, Puerto,
Mexico and in cities along the United
States frontier thousands of tons of
merchandise have been lying for
months, the railroads being unable to
move these goods to their destina
tions.
In addition to the economic phase
presented by the railroad congestion,
travelling in Mexico is at present te-
dious, passenger trains running from
one to two days late. The lack of en-
gines is said to be the cause of this
inconvenience, the few locomotives at
present available being in continuous
operation.
Imports Show Increase
President Obregon declared yester-
day that imports to Mexico had in
crea sed 200 per cent in the past three
months and that additional railroad
rolling stock had not been acquired
to proportionate degree. He as
serted every effort was being made
to purchase or rent rolling stock and
engines and that probably within a
week an approximation of normal
schedule will be attained"
Adolfe De La Huerta, secretary of
the treasury, told newspaper men
yesterday that the government did
not propose to spend the $4,000 900
pesos now in the national treasury
for rolling stock, inas!Euch as other
means to solve our difficulties will be
found"
The secretary denied reports that
certain irregularities in the customs
system, which had recently been dis
covered, had caused the congestion
at ports Of entry.

ures speak highly for the efficiency of

than 1000 population, had a per capita
loss of seven cents in 1919. Last year
Sullivan had the lowest loss with Is

Rushville, with $3.50. Decatur fol-
lowed closely with s31.Os. Rushville's 5
big loss was occasioned by the burn
ing of a large elevator and flour mill.
The total fire loss there was $155,630.

were less fires in the state, but the
total loss ran higher. In 1919, the fires
totaled 5.34S and last year 5,0s3. The
losses were s6,135,526 and sS,22S, S96,
