Nerve in Executing Crime.

THE BoLDNESS of a crime often means its
L success. Take for instance, the robbery of
the Denver mint. 1t wa. staged at half past ten In
the forenoon when the business day was well under
way and the streets crowded with people. 1t was
at the main entrance of the mint where money was
being loaded into a Federal Reserve truck, where
the bandits opened fire on the guards and other
attaches. killed one guard and grabbed two hundred
thousand dollars and sped away in the thick traf'
fic in the car they arrived in.
1t would seem such a robbery was impossible
under the conditions that obtained at the time. No
one scarcely knew what was taking place until II
was over and the guards began firing at the rob
bers.
The plans were bold and took into account the
crowds upon the streets and the fact that guards
would not dare fire. Then it was simply a mo
ment's work to disable one guard and surprise
the rest, seize the money packages, toss them into
the tonneau of the car and tumble in themselves
and with a nervy driver at the wheel escape.
There have been many bold robberies In the coun
try from time to time, but even in the picturesque
days of the James boys and other gangs that infest
ed the west in the long ago, and earned regulations
for nerve and execution in taking other peoples
property, none of those displayed the cool delib
crate daring Of the mint bandits.
The interesting question a~rises-would thes'
pame thieves under other circumstances displa,
ANYTHING like the nerve and daring in a good cause
that they have shown in a bad one?

Dangerous Ductless

court in Kansas awarding damages

The Mouies in War.

THE WAR did a great deal to develop the NOV
L ing picture and point the industry to a wider
field of usefulness. The experience gained brought
out many possibilities. The problems, of course,
were many. And those who directed the exhibition
could likely testify to many strange experiences.
For instance the right places of showing certain
pictures and the means of getting the showings
under unfavcrable circumstances.
In the camp where men had just been indicted
into the service pictures dealing with home and
mother were very much taboo. Later, when the
men had become more accustomed to military life
and had reached the embarkation camps they got
some of those pictures in the program When they
reached France and were up against the real thing
they were given everything on the reel regardless
of what some of the pictures might recall.
During the height OF the campaign in which
Americans took part one officer said Of the desr-
ability of films: L want only three things for my
INC picture films, more films and still
more films.
In France pictures were shown in specially con-
structed cars wherever the men could be reached,
even on the direct front.
Pictures meant much for the morale. They ban
ished dissatisfaction and discomfort in many
camps.
Even the American picture machine helped win
the war.

The Book of All Books.

"A MAN once said he knew the Bible was inspired
"A because it inspired him. The more you ponder
the remark the more your belief grows that he
spoke truly.
If you are a Bible reader you know from your
nun experience how true the observation is.
How often have you turned the leaves of the
old book at random and in turn have read history,
poetry. philosophy and tragedy all within the com
pass Of a few pages? All couched in the purest
and most forceful Language. 1t matters not the
mood, you will find something responsive TO 1t.
How can a book of that character fail to inspire
n person who can read Understandings?
1t has withstood the test of literature of all time
and today stands superior to all other written
work. Aside from that it has brought more com
FORT and hope to the world than any other work
of the ages.
Whether inspired or not, the old book is a con
slant inspiration to those who read it.
There should be more readers.

whereby C. A Schwab, of $50 Syca-
more street, becomes a member of
the John l.. Walker Construction
Company. Mr. Schwab has been en-
ployed by that firm for nine years.

fies him for that part Of the business

part of his time The other officers
of the company are Roy j. Kurry,
vice president, and Fred Snively, sec
retary and treasurer Mr.. Schwab
has always been an active member of
local Plumbers Union, and will con-
tinue to have a friendly feeling for
labor.

BE A HORNBLOWER

Business is BETTER" says Fred
Meyer.
Thus was an article headed which
appeared in one of the daily evening
newspapers. The Fred Meyer refer
red to is the managing-director of the
Palace theatre. In the article Mr..
Meyer tells how the theatre business
seems to be taking on new life, and he
was especially referring to the attend
ance at picture running the first
part of the week at his theatre. Mr..
Meyer was quoted in the article in
part as follows:
Il am saUlsned that there's abso-
lutely nothing wrong with our town;
| feel satisfied that business is COM
ing back into its own. When the the
atres start doing business, the mer-
chant has every reason to feel opti-
mistic, because Babson and other
statisticians have proven that the
theatres are the barometer of indus
trial conditions"
But what we are trying to get at is
this: Business is Better" How
much better that sounds than "Ford's
Shut Down Order Has Already At
fected Hamilton" which sentence, in
foot-high scarehead type, appeared
on the front page of another daily
evening paper on Monday night.
That heading appeared so scary
that women with blanched faces upon
reading it rushed out and unleashed
the dog and put the chain across the
door.
The Press can't see the good of any
such sensational stuff. 1t doesn't do
business bit of good, and from the
expressions heard this week we know
that the merchants agree with US in
this. There is just one thing of
which we are quite sure and that is
that about two more articles like the
one referred to and the advertising
solicitors can take long vacation.
1t has been known in times past
where music has soothed panic
stricken crowd in a theatre. Would
MT it be better then in times of Ford
shut-downs to get out the band rather
than to hang out the crepe?
How much better it sounds, "Busi-
ness is Better"
