the BONUS BILL IS DEAD

The soldiers bonus bill is dead, at least for this session
Of congress. President Hardings veto which has bcen up
held by the senate did the trick. The nation has thus been
spared a heavy drain on its treasury that was not Justlfled
at this time.
Had the bill become a law in the form in which 1t was
passed by congress it would have satisfied no one. The eX-
service men would not have received anywhere near what
The great majority of them thought they were getting and
the treasury would have become involved in a questionable
transaction greatly increasing governmental expenses when
r already far above the governments income. With the
neople CRYING about high taxes and with the cost OF living
coming down but slowly, anything that puts more burdens
on the public treasury is to be discouraged mere "a Wv
10 no . reduction in public expenses somewhere so why go
on increasing them?
The boys who fought in the World War performed a
wonderful service and are deserving OF every Considerations

NO "MEN HIGHER UP" YET

~. Another retail milk dealer has felt the wrath Of the
health authorities of the city, but no steps, apparently, are
taken to get the men higher up" Yes, clean milk is the
first essential. But that is not all to the milk business in this
city. True, a recent bombing case is receiving the aten-
ton it deserves on the part of the grand jury, but that does
not clean up the situation, by any means.
What was the condition that led up to the bombing?
What kind of a conspiracy exists and who are involved?
The Board of Health dismissed a technician under more
or less of a cloud of suspicion a few months ago. Judge DAILY
and the public generally have demanded more details re-
garding this matter, but little satisfaction has been obtained.
The Board of Health, apparently, is going to consider the
matter closed. Is the board holding anything back? Is
there a milk combination" that takes precedent over the
welfare of the public?
The incident in Railway where municipal milk depots
have been established to retail Grade A milk at twelve cents
a quart has not escaped the people here. The Evening News
has had its attention called to it in many different ways.
Must we have municipal milk stations here in order to cleaa
up the local situation?

SCIENTIFIC CRIME

The latest tools of criminals are displayed in New York at
the international conference of police.
Detectives seem most interested in apparatus used by
"rope workers" With the skill Of human flies, " this breed
of crooks gel on a roof and climb down as many as IA stories
to commit robbery, using only their muscles and a clothes
line.
Burglars now have a fad of carrying their tools in violin
and banjo cases.
Electricity is beng used widely by yeggmen. Hooking to
a light socket, they go through a safe door with electric drills.
In blowing a safe, they even use an electric fuse-exploder.
Detective Boylan says the yeggmen never have been able
to perfect the use Of acetylene torches for burning through
steel vaults.
All around, the scientific tools of crime are %disappoint-
ing to the curious. In the main they are crude, about the same
as a decade ago, with nothing startling as in master mind"
detective fiction.
Each professional criminal, the convened police say, has a
characteristic style of work peculiar to himself.
For instance, il a window is broken noiselessly by plas-
tering hypaper on it to prevent the crash OF falling glass, the
police know instantly that the crook is one of a score or SO
who specialize in this method.
Further elimination is easy, for certain crooks work only
on Saturday nights, at certain hours or only during storms.
Cocaine is the chief tool of the New York crook, says De-
tective Frank Quigley. He explains:
Anybody that goes crooked begins taking it to steady
his nerves. if a man shows a yellow streak, his pals make
him take a big sniff of cocaine before they will go out on a
lob with him. I don't believe a loft burglary or any other
dangerous crime has been pulled off in New York for years
except after they have doped themselves to keep their
nerves.
Crime and the drug traffic 60 hand-in-hand. To attack
crime at it's roots and paralyze its growth, stop drug traffic.
That is the way, and police know it, but it's easier said than
done. The job, however, is not impossible.

@. Was gunpowder known or
used before guns were invented
A. T. w.
A. Older historians agree that
ganpowder was known before it was
applied for use in guns. All the COM
ponents and mixtures for Greek hre
similar to gunpowder were already
known as early as 1890. Guttmen.
who has made an exhaustive study
OF the subject, says that "gunpowder
was gradually developed from Greek
fire. and was known for years te-
fore and guns were thought
OF. The use OF purer materials In
making it developed its propulsive
power and led to the subsequent in
vention of and guns. The
Arabians were the first to make gun
powder-like mixtures, probably
about 1880 A.. D., while the idea OF
using their propulsive force, that is,
the invention OF guns and cannons,
belongs to the monk. Berthold
Schwartz, Of Freiburg, Saxony; the
date OF the latter invention being
probably 1913 A. D. 1t is accepted
as indisputable hat gunpowder
mills existed at Augsburg, Germany,
in 1910, and at Sandau. Germany,
in 1874, while the English used gun
powder in guns at the battle OF
Crecy in 1916.
@. When was the first worlds

A. The first industrial exposition
in which all nations might partici-
pate was that held in the Crystal
