Why e-Blowers Quit.

The screw-door safe is practically
what it claims to be-burglar proof. |
don't say a cracksman can't enter it.
but it is impractical because it takes
him so hong. I've heard Of eases where
they were able to get isolation from
Saturday midnight over Sunday,
through peculiar lay'of the land and
good confederation, and were able TO
crack one! But, ordinarily, a burglar
must get by in four hours or not at
all, and it's physically Impossible to
crack a screw-door safe in that time
says Leslie's Weekly.
This is the reason that night bank
burglary has gore out Of fashion in
the past few years. The big robberies
now occur in the daytime. And this
has bred different type of men. Out
Of the thug, the craftsman, the expert
with the jimmy and the soup il has
bred the gentleman burglar, the fell
low who can look and act the part
of the business man, who has the in
telligence to plan a campaign requir-
ing days of preparation and the nerve
to pull the stunt and get away with
out binodshel.
I'm burglary. as in business, II is
a day of big deals, of combinations,
of high finance. sMobs' don't go
about as they used to. willy nilly, over
the land, dropping in here and there
as they pleased and getting away
with few thousands in each place.
Instead. there are eomra atively
few very highclass operators; these
never try to pull a trick until their
is complete; they work
with well-drilled gangs and have re-
sersed the old order about women.
Women help the cracksman now as
they never did before.

MORE EARTH's SECRETS.
Bones Of Whales, $4,000 Years Old, Ares
Unearthed

The skeletons of two whales, dating
back, it is supposed, 10000 to $4,000
years, were found by two workmep on
a farm near Peterborough, according
ito The Westminster Gazette. Some
Of the teeth and bones were submitted
to DIR. Garood, Of Alconbury Hill,
Huntingdonshire. and he, in company
with two geological experts, visited
the farm and obtained alp the bones,
with the result that one Of the whales
has been set up.
The whales were lying side by side
under the peat, and just embedded jim
the clay. On the whole the bones are
in good condition, and those that have
been taken out carefully, are scarcely
broken. Unfortunately the skulls are
damaged.
1t il believed that many thousand
years ago these whales and perhaps
others swamp up a creek when the
wash game further inland and got
caught at the top Of a spring tide in a
place where they were unable TO turn.
Another theory has been. advanced
though it il rather farfetched. Some
years ago a prehistoric boat was dug
10 in the same field, and the suggestion
has been made that the crew of the
boat was hunting the whales at the
particular period.--Ncw York Tribune.

HARBOR STRIKE.
THREATENED
Because Of Purpose to Cut
Wages 20 Per
Cent
TOWING COMPANIES
ARE INVOLVED
--
The Employing Companies
Were Handed an
Ultimatum

New York, Jan. 6.--Demands that
present wage scales remain in effect
coupled wit; threats Of q harbor strike
Of serious proportions, were made on
seven towing companies by the Mas
tiers Mates and Pilots association here
to-day. The companies. which had an
nounced their intention to make a 20
per cent cut in wages, were given UNI
til noon in which to accept or reject
the nltimatum.
Members of the association voted
last night to give the companies a
few more hours in which to consider
their action in reducing wages Soon
after the meeting adjourned, it was
announced that 800 men employed by
three towing companies had called a
strike, effeotiya at 6 o'clock this morn
ing. An arbitration committee, APP
pointed some time ago, reported ii had
agreed u the proposed wage decrease,
but this action was repudiated by the
association. 1t was decided at the
meeting to bring into one organization
an engineers and beatmen employed n
port work, in addition to the drafts
already unionized, and assertions were
made that such action would add 5000
men to the ranks of those at present
working Under union rules
Fedesal, state, city and railroad tow
boats are not affected so far by the
wage controversy

BETTER ROADS
STANDARDIzE BRIDGE DESIGN
No Sound Reason for Amount of Va. riation in Specifications That Now
 Exist in Building.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)
 Greater standardization of practice in the design and construction of high way bridges is urged by the bureau of public roads of the United States De partment of Agriculture. It is be- lieved that there Is no sound reason for the amount of variation in specifi- cations that now exists and that it results in greater cost of bridges. State officials take the same view as the bu- reau and a committee composed of bridge engineers has been appointed by the American Association of State Highway Officials to consider the mat ter. A Manual of Practice" is being prepared, which will represent the best thought on the subject and which it is believed will be accepted by all the state highway departments Not only will the adoption of such a man. ual lead to. the building of bridges of good design, but 1t will also make pos sible a saving in money, as bridge companies will net be called upon to meet so much variation in design.

INFORMATION HARD TO GAIN

 With the annual expenditure for roads and streets in the United States approaching the billion-dollar mark, more accurate information and better means for obtaining 1t seem necessary, says the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agricul- ture. One thing very much needed is the concentration of all sorts of in- formation and statistics concerning the roads of the various states in the state highway departments.
 Engineers of the department are now gathering complete information regarding the road mileage and ex- penditures in. the United States. In many of the states much of the in- formation desired is easily obtainable from the state highway department. In the case of Iowa the figures were obtained almost immediately. In other cases it has been necessary to se"d out numerous questionnaires and some

U. S. Recognizes Four Nations.

WashingtOn.-FOur more nations born of recent wars in Europe, three of them occupying territory that formed part of the disrupted Russian empire have been accorded American recognition as full fledged independent governments. Already recognized by the principal European powers, the three constituted from former Russian dOminions, EsthOnia, Latvia and Lith- uania, are to be treated as sovereign nations by the United States, because they have established political and economic stability not attained by their Bolshevist neighbOrs.
