Scotland Yard Is We'll Equipped
 For rtion

LONDON. Sept. 30.-(By Associated Press.)-Scotland Yard, England S famous organization for the detection of criminals, is equipping it's patrol motor cars with wireless telephony apparatus with the idea of providing new aids in the capture of wrong doers.
 In many cases swift locomotion is the essence of success in this matter and if rapidity of movement can be combined with the maintenance of communication with headquarters, the chances of the wrong doer's escape may be considerably diminished. The experimental car can receive mes sages while creeping through the congested traffic of the city of Lon don, or while dashing along the Great North road. It can reply to the mes sages received, and thus keep Scot land Yard well informed of the prog ress of whatever business may be in hand.
 It is hoped that when the system has advanced little farther, the con- stabulary forces of the counties will participate in it. Then it may be pos sible to set up an effective hue and cry throughout the country if dan gerous criminal Is at large, and keep all searching ears in constant touch with Scotland Yard and the headquar- ters of the police forces of the ad- jacent counties.

RUTHLESS BANDITS REAP |NG HARVEST ON BRAZIL BORDER
Clandestlne Runners, Gold Miners And Desperadoes
 Are On Rampage

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept 3o.-(By Associated Press. s.)-Frontier activi- ties that bring to mind the stirring times of Daniel Boone are being re- ported in tho local press from the Brazilian regions which border on Venezuela and the Guianas. Accord ing to these stories, and to reports that have been made from the trouble zones to the government contraband runners, clandestine gold miners. and various kinds of desper- ado have been crossing the frontiers into Brazil in increasing numbers and have been leaving trails of blood and ruin.
 The vast regions of tho Ar-azon valley, which are but sparsely in- habited, contain many forms of wealth that are within the reach of ruthless outlaws, who act in small groups, as well as in big and power ful organizations. It is reported that fortunes in gold and precious stones have been banned from the graveIs of the northern streams of Brazil by outlaw miners; that rosewood, ma hogany, ebony and other precious woods have been stolen from Brazil Han forests. that cattle have been run off the poorly protected ranches, ana the crops of outlaying settle ment farms boldly pilfered by raiders. The reports add that these outlaw activities have resulted in many bloody clashes between local inhab- itants and bands of frontier run nerS.
 No Police Protection.
 
 run through trackless wilderness makes it almost impossible to es- tablish effective police protection. The few military posts of the Brazil Han government and her neighbors are lost in the vastness of the zones they are supposed to patrol.
 The outlaws are escaped convicts from the penal colony in French Gui- ana, snegros from Barbados, Martin ique and Trinidad. riff-raff from English and Dutch Guiana, and adven- turers from Venezuela. French Eng fish, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and Indian dialects are mixed into a gen eral regional language. The size of the outlaw organizations Is governed by the kind of outlawry in which they are engaged. The gold mining and smuggling gangs, for instance, are said to be large and powerful, with headquarters in coast towns.
 As means of tanning the frontier zones, the Brazilian Ministry of Agri- culture, Commerce and Industry is planning to fill up a considerable strip of land along the boundary lines with Indian reservations and agricul- tural colonies. The Brazilian h. dians are hardy and war-like, and 1t is believed that they would soon rid those regions of foreign invaders If they were given property to defend.
 D~&A ! settlement departments of the min istry of agriculture, are engaged in the enactment of these pacification plans.

AUTUMN IN THR COUNTRY

Folks who go to the country Tor a complete rest and relaxation from the rush of city existence are sur prised to find that they cannot find rest immediately. The 1Satydids and the crickets prove just as much of a cause for insomnia as motor car horns and victrolas, while on the other hand, the profound silence of the resting countryside is sometimes disturbing to those who become used to the whir of city. A man who is spending his two weeks vacation on a pleasant farm has not slept q wink for four nights, he says.--Co- lumbus Dispatch.
