Armed Bandit
Gang Holding
Ya1k Captive

Buenos Aires, Nov. &c. BY
Associated Press) -Four hundred
well armed bandits entrenched in
the cillage of Paso Ibanez, in the
state OF Santa Cruz, repulsed an
attack by the marines landed from
the cruiser Almirante rown, ac-
cording to belated dispatches re-
ceived here. A number OF the
bandits and marines were killed
or wounded during the engage
ment, in which the attackers used
machine guns.
The bandits hold prisoner in
the village number of the resi-
dents OF the region, including
English ranchers and s. J. Mac
Bey, manager of the Armour

Santa Cruz.

War Veteran Says
Ohio Roads Beat
Best In Europe

Martins Ferry, Nov. 26.-James
Wilson, who toured France and
Belgium in 1917 and 1918 with
one Of Perishing's S parties, says,
regardless Of the fact that Europ-
can roads are supposed to be so
wonderful, the very best road over
which he ever travelled is in Ohio.
The war veteran, who now ope-
rates laundry, drove to Dayton.
He declared the road from Colum-
bus to Springfield is superior to
any he saw in Europe. 1t Is tar
bound macadam which, he said,
furnishes smoothest riding with a
maximum of traction, therefore re-
ducing tire wear and gasoline con-
sumption.
While "doing' Europe with the
A. E. F., Wilson said, he realized
the reasons why roads over there
stand up so we'll. Citizens, he
said, never are in such hurry as
those of America and, hence, do
not drive so rapidly. Also, heavy
trucks are not hurried over the
roads in the rapid manner, nor SO
frequently, as roads are punished
in America.

Il cannot understand it," the

Members of the board of elders
OF the church asked Rev. Sexton
for statement regarding the af-
fair. The statement was furnished.
I'VE will stick by him, y was the
verdict, "until he is tried. 1t
would be contrary to Biblical

AdUocates Railroad
Board With Po70er
TO Take Ouer Lines

Chicago, Nov. z6.--A national
railroad service commission with
mower to take over operation OF
the railroads was advocated by
Mayor Thompson in a letter
made public today, to Herbert
Hoover, secretary Of commerce
The mayor, in reply to Mr.. Hoo
ver's invitation for suggestions
concerning the unemployment sit
uation, said the ability of the la
borer to live cheaply lies in solving
the railroad problem.
81 favor the establishment III
the United States of railroad
service commission, to be elected
by the people with two commits
sioners from each state, one to be
elected at each congressional cleo
tion in order to make continuous
body; such railroad service COM
mission to have the power to con-
denim or purchase and to take over
the railroads in the United States
and to operate them in the inter
est of the people instead Of for
spectators and for private own
ers," the letter said. This would
give an opportunity to the pro-
ducer to be represented on the
railroad service commission at the
same time giving like opportunity

Let Children
Develop Selves
Worna1's S Theory

Chicago, Nov. 26.-"I)on't tell
your child to be little man or a
little LADY,"
Mrs. Mariette Johnson gave this
advice at meeting for mothers
held by the Chicago League Of
Women Voters.
1--WE have enough little men
and little ladies'-I mean spirit
ually and socially, not physically" "
she declared. He's a little boy
and she's little girl, and each is
as different from an adult as a
green persimmon from ripe one.
"No mother should be proud of
the precocious child, because a
child who is over-developed in one
sense is under-developed in an
other. The hope of the race is in
prolonging childhood"
Too many parents, according to
Mrs. johnson, 'haye their children
in college before they're year
old"
Parents have no right 10 deter
mine what the child il going tc
be, she said. They should not try
to make" musicians or lawyers OF
anything else out Of children
Their concern, in the opinion Of
Mrs. johnson, is with the present
not with the future of the child
The kiddies should be permitted
to gradually develop themselves.

Linn County
Damage Thru
Flood Great

Albany, Or, Nov. 26.--Linn
county's Indebtedness was in
creased between $4,000 and $780,
600 by high waters throughout
the county Sunday and Monday,
the county commissioners reported
today after making a rough esti-
mate of the damage to roads,
bridges and culyerts.
The county's greatest loss was
the Miller bridge, across Thomas
creek east of Scio, which was en-
tirely destroyed and swept away.
This bridge had stood for 35 years,
it is said, and had never before
been Iamaged by floods. The re-
manner of the destricution was
confined to damage to bridges and
culverts left standing and to roads.
One of the chief sources of repair
expense, Commissioner Butler said
today, will be the rebuilding of
abuttments and the strengthening
of approaches to bridges that were
affected.
The approach on the west end Of
the Richardson's Gap bridge across
Crabtree was undermined, it is re-
ported, and must be repaired. The
suggestion has been made that
this bridge, new structure, be
movad I'M the creek tn tho site of
the old bridge, which was situated
