Apartment Burglaries.

Burglary seems to be a growing
American industry, and theoretical ex-
perts on this subject and burglary
statisticians say that it is increasing
in other countries. Whether it is a
profitable industry to those engaged
in it cannot be said, but 1t Is believed
to be a losing venture in the long run
to those who follow 1t. However, the
immediate profits appear to attract a
goodly number Of people to the art or
business OF "burgling." A growing
branch Of burglary is In looting flats
in apartment houses. Burglary insur-
ance adjusters in New York say that
while hold.ups and payroll robberies
have fallen to low level, and loft and
store burglaries show decline, apart.
ment burglaries have increased 100
per cent since the first Of the year,
causing q Is per cent increase in the
rate for blanket apartment insurance
policies. A leading insurance man is
quoted as saying that a new class of
young burglars are operating against
apartment houses, and frequently
have the assistance OF apartment
house employees and servants OF the
apartment tenants.

ately available to show the rate Of

The Anthracite Break.

Fears of an anthracite strike on the
1st of September are aroused by the
announcements that the conference at
Atlantic City between the miners and
the operators has adjourned without
agreement. But the failure ofthe con-
ference is not to be viewed as neces-
sarily tokening suspension Of min-
period. The conference broke on the
question Of the recognition of the
union. AS a matter Of fact, practically
nothing else has been considered. The
CHECK of" was discussed from the be-
ginning, and remained at the end an
unsettled point of difference. Recogni-
tion of the union has been the obstacle
to agreement in the hard-coal fields
for many years.
Five weeks now remain before the
expiration Of the contract period, and
in that time much can be done toward
an adjustment which will permit con-
tinued operation of the mines so that
the public will have it's necessary sup
ply of coal. In that period undoubt-
edly pressure will be exerted by the
government to effect an agreement.
Already it has been hinted that in case
Of failure Of the operators and miners
to get together the United States will
undertake the operation of the mines
as a public necessity to insure a con-
tinued supply. This possibility may
work either as a factor of peace or
factor Of conflict. 1t may induce agree
ment or it may prevent it. The an
thracite situation Is never susceptible
Of clear and confident analysis.

Countryside Preservation urges a ma
tional campaign among automohilists
to "clean up as they CO." The educa.

up work Is a big order. Yet 1t should
be tried.
When the auto party spreads its
lunch under a fine tree at the gate Of
Hiram Jones' farm II may clean up
the wreckage of the spread" but
what is to be done with it? 1t will
probably be thrown out Of the car as
soon after leaving Mr.. Jones' gate as
possible. And there you have roadside
litter just the same.
There are walking clubs or "hiker"
groups In Washington in spite Of the
prevalence of the auto. and nearly all
against litter. When the meal is done
all trash is burned. The fire is guard
ed and put out. so that it will not start
up again. Only a scar Of black ashes
marks the spot. The only ways to get
rid of lunch trash in the country are
to bury it, burn it, or carry 1t home.
A spade is not among the accessories
of the auto.
1t would not do to tell auto parties
to burn their litter, because setting
fires by the radside Is dangerous, and
farmers object to this more than to
rubbish. 1t requires course of in
struction to build. care for and put out
a fire. Auto parties should not start
fires. The wayside rubbish problem
presents some perplexities, but prac-
teal plan may be hit upon. and every

A Law of the Home.

The Star recently published dis
patch from San Antonio, Tex, which
said: "A wife holds a property right in
her husband to the exclusion of any
other woman according to decision
handed down here today by District
Judge McCrory." Many a married
man will wonder why a judge thought
1t necessary to render a decision on a
matter which every wife knows per-
fectly well. and which few husbands
dispute. The inference is that the
judge is single man, and has never
taken course in the laws, customs
and usagcs of married life.
For centuries before this decision
was handed down it has been a matter
of common knowledge that wife has
strong grip on a husband. Most
wives and husbands will think that the
Texas judge erred on the side Of eau
tion and conservatism in ruling that
a wife has only a property right in
her husband, and that he should have
ruled in a straightforward manner
that a husband Is the personal prop
erty Of the wife. Such decision would
have been in line with human expert.
ence.
The usual married man would not
resent a judicial ruling that he is his
wife's personal property. He under
stands that this is in accord with the
laws of married life, and that it is wise
provision for his safety, comfort and
happiness. From the moment when
the lady, yelled in white and carrying
bouquet of lilies of the valley,
solemnly promised to love, honor and
obey him, the husband became the per-
sonal property Of that lady, and it be-
came his duty, perhaps his "bounden
duty" to bring home his pay envelope
unopened, and to take such orders as
her majesty, the queen Of the home.
may issue. Here and there a husband,
unruly and rebellious, has sought to
break the chain that binds him, but
such a course often leads him into
great unhappiness.
