CLOE DRAWS LINE
 FORMAKING BONDS
 IN POLICE COURTS
Outstanding Paper To Be Col Iected And Hours For FiI-
 ing Are Set

On and after October 1 makers of personal bonds in the recorders courts of Birmingham will have to walk an exceedingly well chalked line, Commissioner W. B. Cloe an nounced in the city hall Friday morning, for the municipality has experienced trouble in collecting and there is going to be a change.
 One of the keenest men on the police force will be delegated to work exclusively on catching bond dodgers and bringing them to court, and he will not have to sit back and ait for business for there are near ly 200 bonds pigeon -holed in the department of public safety that have not been met because, said Mir Cloe, wellknown citizens of excel lent standing and considerable prop erty have made them and seem to think that is all there is to it. The city is protected, the bonds can be cashed, and to make long story short, they are going to be-
 In the case of appeal bonds the power of attorney practice is. going to get severe jar, for the giver of power of attorney also will have to sign up and will have to come to police headquarters to do the sign ing.
 New and set hours fa bord mak- ing go on in police circles with the coming of October. All bonds for appearance will be made between the hours of a. m., and 10 p. m., and at no other time.

LICENSE
 BILL PASSES SENATE
Heavy Tax On Trucks That Tear
 Up Roads Is Provided

The senate today passed the Tun- stall automobile license bill which retains present license schedules on pleasure automobiles and light trucks but makes great increases in the licenses assessed against large automobile trucks. No change was made in the schedule of licenses.
 This bill also carries provisions requiring owners of automobiles to show that ad valorem taxes on cars have been paid at the time they ap- ply for licenses. This is intended to put upon the books for ad va lorem taxation automobiles which escaped this tax in the past.
 With the passage of the automo- bile license bill only one of the three original revenue measures proposed by the recess committee on finance and taxation remains in the legis- lature. The third bill provides for licenses on certain classes of busi- ness which were not included in the schedules enacted in 1919 and for increased licenses on few classes of business which were covered in the 1919 law. The bill Is on the calendar of the house but no effor% has been made to call 1t up for con- sideration.

 Oddly enough Mir. Foster and the men who work with him consider the arrest of a counterfeiter or the cor railing of a bunch of spurious notes an unsatisfactory accomplishment. Their idea of 100 per cent effort is to get the counterfeiter. the notes and plates, molds and other parapher- nalia of the business all at one time.

Master Counterfeit Expert
 Tells Of 27 Years Activities

George F. Foster. the man who kicked $2o0,0oo into the fire in Chi cago a few weeks ago, and, so far this year, has destroyed $1,500, GOO, was the visitor of honor in the city hall Friday morning when he came to pay his respects to Commissioner W. B. Cloe and Chief of Police Fred McDuff.
 MT. Foster Is the expert of the secret service of the United States government on counterfeit money and is in Birmingham to give expert testimony regarding certain alleged spurious notes that will be presented during a pending trial in the fedral court.
 For 27 years Mir Foster has been the man called on by the government to vsit localities where counterfeit money was reported in circulation and on his testimony literal thous- ands of cases have hinged.
 "Of all the odd cases that have been called to my attention in more than a quarter of a century of work said Mir. Foster Friday morning, Birmingham furnishes what l hold to be the most amusing; that was the case you had here d year or so ago In which man was selling machines for few hundred dollars that would grind out currency if you fed it white paper dHu LuTHtu luS Hdllu4ts
 "I don't remember just now who he was, but your police department caught him and he was brought to trial. After the Birmingham incl dent the same stunt was put over in other cities. I believe about half dozen trials resulted from cases of the kind.
 Tt Is hard to believe that persons of ordinary human intelligence would fall for trick of the sort Usually the victims were immigrants who had only been in this country few years, but they fell for 1t, there is no doubt about that"
 HDs Destroyed s1,5OO.OOO.
 Mir Foster has kept no record of the amount of counterfeit money he has passed judgment on, but taking 1923 as an example. he has ordered the destruction of s1,00,oO0 In coun- terfeit currency and has been at work for 27 years. His opinion is the final one where spurious notes are being judged.
 Perhaps the most unusual thing about MT. Foster is the control of his eyes he has developed. Most peo- pie looking at person to whom they are speaking center attention on but one eye, or shift their glance from one eye to the other of the person looked at. Knowing this, MT. Foster has trained his eyes to throw his "vis-a-vis" off guard. If you are speaking to MT. Foster and looking at his left eye you will see 1t falter, glance upward or downward, as though he could not meet your stare,

Tour children:s
 food

The foods your children eat today, determine their strength and health in latex years.
 Remember this; they must have well balanced meals. Their food should contain the right amout of mineral salts. These salts act as bone building material. They fur nish the different fluids and juices that help keep the tissues young-the body strong and active.
 Bakings that are made of good plain white flour and baking powder contain a large amount of mineral salts. Allow your children toeathardy ofthese bakings together with fruits and dairy products. This forms an ideal food balance.
 When making quick rising breads and pastries such as: biscuits, mullins, cakes, waffles, etc., don't fail to use Calumet-the economy Baking Powder. It contains more than the ordinary leavening strength-it's the purest and surest leavener made. That's why 1t helps make your flour foods light and easily digested.
 Millions of mothers use Calumet daily because they are interested in their child ren's welfare-their present and future health. 'ACKED IN TIN

Average Wages Low
In Building Trades
(By Federated Press)

New York-It is high time, says an
article in the current issue of the En-
gineering Record by d. X. Boyd, ar
chitect and structural standardist of
Philadelphia, for the public to know
that the yearly earnings of the build
ing trade mechanics are "none too
high" Boyd calls attention to a
recent census made of the Philadel-
phia trades, in which it was found
that although the bricklayer COM
mands an hourly wage rate of $125,
which theoretically would be S2750
q year, actually his average earnings
were only $3.50.
The census covered Is trades, and
in these the theoretical annual earn
ings in only four fell below $4,000
yearly. Yet, because of the seasonal
nature of building work, in only one
of the Is trades did the actual earn
ings reach that figure. In nine of
the Is trades the actual earnings fell
below $500. The computations were
based on the actual number of days
worked during the year 1920, and the
rate of pay was the existing union
scale.

Organized Labor
Against COSsaCk Law

Springfield, Ill.-Organized labor,
in its opposition to the proposed
state constabulary bill which will
permit the use of state police in lab
or disputes, cites the experience of
New Jersey where the law was en-
acted after many years of opposi-
tion.
"The people were told" writes
John H. Cook, editor, Red Bank Reg
lister, the principal farm weekly of
New Jersey, chat the state troopers
would stop crime of all sorts; that
farmers would no longer be plunder-
ed of their crops; that crime would be
banished from the state and that the
laws against all crimes and offenses
would be fairly, intelligently and i'm
partially enforced.
"Well, the state got the state
troopers, and what is the result :?
The state has tremendous tax bill
to pay to support the troopers, but
there seems to be no lessening in the
amount of crime, htUle and big, nor
does there seem to be any lessening
in the amount of bootlegging.
"To my mind the law is a piece of
bunk, and should be repealed. 1t
won't be, of course. 1t was hard
job for the folks who wanted that
law put over to get it on the statute
book. 1t will be hard job to get it
repealed, for everyone who profits in
any way from it, will want it kept
going"

Chicago Movie Men
Highest Paid in u. S.

Chicago - Motion picture ma
chine operators here have gained a
So per week wage increase to help
meet the ascending cost of living.
Officials OF the Illinois Motion Pic
ture Theater Owners Association
signed the contract January 10,
and it runs for period of one
year.
The new scale provides for a min
imum weekly wage of $3.50 in out
lying theaters and $83 for the bigger
ones listed as "de luxe"
"This increase makes the Chicago
motion picture operators the highest
paid in the country" said Thomas J.
Reynolds, president of the union. Be-
fore We formed our union few years
ago the wages were SIG to $18 a
week, and the operators had to work
10 and IL hours a day. Now the
work day has been cut nearly in half
and the pay advanced accordingly by
united effort. Only by organization
can the workers gain a share of the
profits in their pay envelopes"

NEWARK, OHIO. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 2, 1929
Excessive Profits But
Living Wages Denied

New York-The declaration by
Fall River cotton mill barons that
they will close their plants rather
than increase wages is made in the
face of increasing prosperity, stock
dividends and the Fordney-McC
ber tariff.
1t is general agreed that the mill
barons virtually dictated the cotton
schedule of the present tariff law.
This assurance of prosperity for the
bosses is supplemented by recent
stock dividends, which have been
issued to escape the income tax and
create larger amount of stock over
which inordinate profits may be
spread.
In financial circles it is agreed THAI
the textile industry is facing an era
Of prosperity. Now the ORGANIZED
textile workers are demanding wage
increases. The executive council of
the United Textile Workers reminds
these wage earners of the profits in
this industry, and calls on them to
demand that textiles assure a living
wage to every emplove.
The manufacturers have unlocked
their chamber of horrors and are
parading the well-known poverty
plea. They also hope the workers
will forget the stock dividends and
how the cotton schedule was pass
ed.
The textile workers are not sur
prised at these time-worn tactics
But they know that their solidarity
can work wonders, even in the mind
of a mill baron.
