youngstown, Ohio learns that
youngstown was not going to send a
detective to Washington for the con-
Vention. He might instantly decide
that Washington would be a good
field for him as he would be un-
known to the police of the national
capital. He would have no handi-
cap to work under. On the contrary,
II youngstown and all other cities
sent their detectives, who know by
sight the principal crooks of their
localities, they could identify them
in the streets Of Washington and
watch their operations.
The banks of a convention city al
ways take elaborate precautions to
prevent frauds. 1t is a natural thing
for a man attending a convention to
scrape an acquaintance with some
local resident and get him to intro
duce him at a bank where he can get
a check cashed. This is an old game
which works often, particularly be-
cause the banks dislike t. show sus-
picion or act inhospitably to n
who may be acting in entire good
faith and be perfectly good for the
amount of his check.

Crooks, in the guise of convention
delegates, may go into stores, buy
things which they have charged and
sent to their hotels. Hotels and
boarding houses likewise are victi-
mized as often as the crooks can find
opportunity. The crowded streets
furnish extra ordinarily good chances
for pickpockets.
When a great crowd of holiday
makers is gathered together in a
city, a carnival spirit prevails and
this. too, favors the crook. People
are not watching their expenditures
so carefully and are much more LIKE
" to be beguiled by some fraudulent
scheme than when they are engaged
in their home towns in their daily
routine occupations.
The Washington police, in cooper
alton with the officials of the Federal
Government and committees OF the
Shriners, did everything in their
power TO prevent visitors to Wash
ington from being victimized, but
the best protection that a visitor can
have is to have his own wits about
him and not believe everything he
hears, nor to buy everything that is
offered to him.

the death of her mother, and its
sentiment is just as true and just

Consolation.
Weep not for her, who like the
day,
When sunset gilds the tranquil
scene,
When lingering radiance passed
away,
In cheerful hope and joy serene.
Another day the sun will greet
And friends so dear again shall
meet.
Weep not for her who meckly led
A life of piety and love,
whose unaSsumlng virtues shed
A hallowed influence from above.
The fallen dew drop needs must
dry,
Exhaled into its native sky.
Weep not for her now at rest,
Where care and pains no more an
noy,
Has reached the haven of the blest
And realized immortal joy,
Her spirit smiles from that bright
shore
And softly whispers weep no
more.

TWO SOLID TRAIN LOADS NASH CARS
 ARRIVE 0N COAST
CaIifornia's Greatest Ship ment Inspired by Big
 Demand

Two solid train-loads of Nash au- tomobiles, the greatest single ship ment of motor cars in the history of California, have arrived on the Pa cific coast. This record breaking shipment was inspired by a demand for Nash cars in California that has exceeded by wide margin all pre- vious experience of Nash dealers in that section of the country.
 The two complete trains consisted of 110 automobile cars of 5Ofoot length. There were 60 cars on one carrying a total of 515 Nash auto mobiles. The value of these cars. delivered to buyers on the Pacific coast. totals approximately $1.000.0O0.
 The California shipment of Nash cars merely indicates the wide pref the Nash product by buyers through out the entire country" said D. IL. McCarty, sales manager of the Nash Motors company. "The cars included In the shipment were the new model Nash Fours and Sizes (which since their introduction at the New York show have broken all selling records in the history of the Nash Motors company. Twelve cities in various sections of the country show at this time d total of 1,253 untitled retail orders for spring delivery and plant extensions, now about completed have been made necessary because of the demand"
 One train-load arrived in California over the Southern Pacific, leaving kenosha on the Northwestern; the other train routed over the Rock Island and Southern Pacific was started on it's way February 2S.
 The piloting of the two trains from Wisconsin to California is regar1co by railroad officials as somewhat o1 an achievement. Never before in railroad history has so large single consignment of motor cars been eh route to California at ono time.
