Too Bad We Can't
Have Some Flying
Cou t S in L. S.
By HAROLD GROAT
TT. p. Staff Correspondont

BERLIN, July Talking n leaf
out of the history of the middle
ages, Germany has introduced the
so-called "flying market COURT as
an aid in its battle against profi-
teers.
Operating chiefly in the workers
districts, they are proving a distinct
aid in roofing out ovcr-charging,
short weighing, failure to mark
goods in plain figures and the like.
Regierungsrat IIingel, chief of
the so-cailed "Wucherabtilung,' or
profiteering department, of the po-
lice, explained tothe writer the de-
tails, as follows:
"My agents go to the markets
daily, and observe what the dealers
are charging, whether they have
their prices marked plainly, whether
they are tricky with their weights
and measures. If a police agent
finds anything wrong, the dealer
goes upstairs in the market hall
or out on the corner, if it is an
opcn-tir market-to the judge. The
judge decides hurriedly. 1t may be
a fine. 1t may be. Jail.
Furthermore, the public can
complain and get justice quickly. y

Riddles Enjoy a
Fireworks Fe S t
at Local Park

Ell Centre kiddies had an enjoy
able time last night as the guests Of
Albert Durham at the fireworks dis
play in City Park. Generous guam
titles of smaller fireworks were dis
tributed to the children, who were
permitted to set them off them
selves. The larger pieces and night
fireworks were set off by Mr.. Dur
ham and corps of assistants.
1t became known during the eve
ming that Mr.. Durham sold the
greater part of his stock this year
and, rather than disappoint the kid
dies, who have learned to look for
ward to his post-Fourth of July dis
play each year, he sent in special
order for more fireworks to Il Los
Angeles house.
While shortening q fuse during
the evening, Mr.. Durham unfortu-
nately inflicted severe cut on his
thumb, but this did not deter him
from staying on the job to the fin
ish. He remarked that last night s
"Looking BackwardN column of
the Press mentioned that Is years
ago he had been taken to the hos
pital suffering from blood poisoning
caused by running a splinter i'll his
hand, and considered it quite u CO.
incidence that he should have again
met misfortune on the same date.

Hot Campaign
On to Abolish
Convict Leasing

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July T.
Sunday. July l, 1928, went down
in Alabama's history as "Anti,
Leasing Sunday This is n fea-
ture of the statewide movement
against convict leasing i'll Ala
bama, the last state in the union
to abolish that form of slavery
whereby state and county prison
ers are leased to private individu-
ais for their personal profit.
Alabama has today 1000 pris-
oners leased out to coal compa-
nies. In addition, some so coun-
ties are leasing out prisoners to
mines, lumber companies, farms
and turpentine camps.
The state receives fixed sum
for the work of the prisoners, but
so high are the charges for main
tanning prisoners that at the pres
ent time the state receives only
$4,000 a year, or less than. $50
per year per prisoner.
The defenders of the convict
leasing system have made their
defense on the grounds that the
state needs the money derived
from leasing these prisoners, but
those fighting for the abolish
ment of convict leasing have pro.
duced these figures to show earn
ings are comparatively nil.

THE EMfGRANT DOLLAR

American residents of foreign birth have learned
better than to buy foreign exchange Too often marks
and francs and lire have deprecated before they
reached their destination Now the man who wishes
to send money is putting American currency
into envelope and registering it.
Investigation by the Commerce and Treasury De-
partment reveals that great numbers of bills of demo-
limitations from one dollar upwards being mailed
out of the country and although estimates neces
sarily guesswork, the lowest of them places the ag
gregate at S500,O00,000 for the past II months.
Nowadays, with many European currencies de-
clinng, the American dollar is about the best invest
ment that resident of Central Europe possess.
Indeed, there is reason to believe that, although
Germany has deliberately wrecked her whole business
and financial structure in the effort to defraud her
creditors, the German people will presently find that
good part of their land and their natural resources
and even of their industrial equipment, have passed
into non-German hands.
Perhaps justice will be done, after all.
