BANDITS HAVE HELD
UP IS KANSAS BANKS
Need State Patrol System, Says
Banker

Thirty-nve burglary and hold
up attacks on Kansas banks Ii the
record for the first nine months OF
the year compared with 80 for al
the year 1921. These attacks
were upon banks in every section
Of the state, including In order
the counties of Labette, Wilson
Wyandotte, Green wood, Marshall
Wyandotte, Stevens, Kiowa. Has
kell, Cheyenne, Cherokee, Barton
Rice, Mcpherson, Chautauqua,
Wyandotte, Leavenworth, Smith
Meade, Logan, Lane, Rocks,
Woodson, Greenwood, SIN tn
wodkon, Reno, Ottawa, Norton,
Phillips, Lincoln, Dickinson, Wy
andOtte, and Montgomery. They
included about every type Of at
tack from a simple amateur per-
formance to the most formidable
hold-up. Included In the number
were two messenger hold-ups,
eight bank hold-ups and twenty
Ave burglary attacks. One Of the
burglaries was a day burglary, oc-
curing during the noon hour. Some
Of the attacks, though well aimed,
were unsuccessful and the loss
proved to be a damage loss only.
In others the losses were heavy.
There are all sorts Of lessons to
be learned from these ever recur-
ring experiences. One Is that 1t Is
the banks greatest hazard. The
burglar Is no respector Of persons
and has all seasons for his own.
These thirty-five attacks thus far
In 1922, occurred In the months
of January, February, March,
April, May, June, July; August,
and October. Another
big lesson Is one which the people
of Kansas have been to slow In
learning, viz, that the weak point
of our system is at the front end.

Is the needed thing; 1t has got to

GREAT BACK TO LAND MOVEMENT
FORESEEN BY BABSON; PREDICTS
RISE in REAL ESTATE VALUES

the situation demands action. 1t
means that if you want to buy desir-
able suburban land near any good city
at present low prices. you Will have to
go about it at once. In selecting such
property. a good plan usually is 10
follow out the best residential street
and buy where land begins to sell by
the acre instead of by the foot. On
the other hand, if you own city dwelling
house property which cannot be con
verted to business uses. the quicker
Won get rid OF it the better. This does
not apply TO business buildings nor TO
property which will soon be in demand
as tho business section Of the city eX-
pands. 1t does not apply to other city
dwelling houses for which such ex-
travagant rents are now demanded.
Remember thar while the REIMBURSEMENT
in industry is well along. the readJust-
ment in real estate values has only
begun.
Some may ask why industry does
no move to the country? Before
many years have passed We probably
shall see n strong tendency IN that
direction. Many businesses can be car
ried on in the country far more effi-
GENTLY than in the city. This idea that
all offices and factories must be located
in the population centers is simply a
notion handed down through genera
tons. In the old days, industry was
confined TO the city and the country
was left for agriculture. That was be-
fore the age of modern transportation.
OF course, it must continue true in the
case of distributing houses. Whole
s%alers. joobPrs. merchants, etc. who
group together according to their in
dustry in 4 certain part Of the city
greatly facilitate buying.
Manufacturers. however, find bet
ter labor conditions, lower rents and
better power in the country. Hence,
! would not dispute the point with
anyone that business eventually may
tend toward the suburban sites. For
the present. however, concluded MI.
Babson. THE main movement VIII De
confined to the buying of country rest
dences. Those who are planning even
tually 10 own n country home should
get busy at once. for every week you

RIVAL BIDDERS

The clergyman's eloquence may have
been at fault, still he felt annoyed to
find that an old gentleman fell asleep
during the sermon on two consecutive
SUNDAYS. So. after service on the sec

panied tn esIeeper that he wished to
sneak to him in the vestry.

they were closeted together. who is

church WITH"
"Grandpa." was the reply.
Well" said the clergyman. IF you
will only keep him awake during my
sermon, I'll give you a nickel each
week"
The boy fell in with the arrangement
and for the next two weeks the old
gentleman listened attentively to the
sermon. The third week, however,
found him soundly asleep.
The vexed clergyman sent for the
boy and said: Il am very angry with
you. Didn't I promise you a nickel q

AGE RELICS
ARE UNCOVERED IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA
Prehistoric Indian Used TObac'
co and His Wife Swung
Rolling Pin.

Victoria. r. C.-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press. THE stone age
which. scientists say. came to an end
in western Europe about 1900 B. C..
was carried on for more than 1000
years later and in its most character
istic form existed in British Columbia
up until as late as a century ago in
some districts. according to findings
of archaeologists who have been ex-
ploring some of the old community
sites. mounds and aboriginal graves
along the coast and the interior of the
province.
The stone age in British Columbia
has for many years been the study of
scientists of note who have been work
ing the field in an effort to build up
the story of the evolution of the pre-
historic civilization as exemplified in
istence between the Rocky Mountains
and the Pacific. Valuable collections
have been obtained.
Museum Rebuilt
1t was only recently. however. that
British Columbia. in an effective way,
turned its attention to the past. Under
the direction of Premier John Oliver.
the Provincial Museum has been part
tally rebuilt and the collections put on
exhibition.
The aboriginal occupants of the
country belonged to the neolithic. or
new stone age, scientists determined
from the specimens obtained from old
villages and burying places. Stone and
bone tools were i'll common use when
the first white explorers visited the
north Pacific. although iron and cop
per in small quantities were found al
most everywhere.
In some instances the native races
had developed a degree of art. One
of the feature exhibits in the museum
is n copy of q seated human figure
holding q bowl. 1t was Clipped from
a solid block of stone and then poll
ished. There are two of these speci-
mems very much alike. One was dis
covered near Departure Bay. Nanaimo
and the other in North Saanish, on
Vancouver Island.
Weapons Identical
Perhaps the most characteristic of
the stone age are the stone axes and
hammers discovered in many places.
They are almost identical with the
tools of the neolithic man found in
Europe.
The stone weapons include daggers
and wal clubs. There are many ex-
amples of stone dishes, hewn from
small boulders. With what appear to
have been rolling pins of a somewhat
angular design. the prehistoric woman
of this coast seems to have been well
supplied.
Primitive man in British Columbia
apparently did a little smoking now
and then. Old shell mounds on the
| Thompson and Fraser rivers have
yielded what appear to have been
! stone pipes. The early explorers
found the native races using a true
tobacco. nicOtina a%ttenuata, which
grows wild in the Thompson river
country and was smoked alone or mix
ed with grease and kiunikinick.
