bogus charity fund operators, ac
cor2ing to +. Milton Altfeld, assistant
States attorney, who is considering
an Investigation following the ar
rest of Gordon l.. Barnhill, trading as
the Atlantic Publishing Company, and
John Ryan, an employe. They are
alleged to have organized collection
agencies for raising funds in the
name of charity.
According to Mr.. Altfeld, the bogus
collections have extended over
period of three years He believes
the investigation will show that more
than $150,000 has been collected year
ly by a number of operators working
in this city.
Police Commissioner Charles d.
Gather said that for the last three
years he has been making efforts to
roundup the bogus collectors. He
added, however, that the police have
been hampered in their work by the
fact that the bona-fide charities often
encourage promiscuous collectors.
Sometimes we have investigated
street carniyals, excursions and other
events held in the names of certain
charities, or have examined the ac-
tivities of suspicious collectors, only
to find that they were actually author.
ized to raise the money. On many of
these occasions we have learned that
the collector or the man who engi
neers the scheme for raising the fund
gets 80 per cent of the money, while
the charity gets only 10 per cent.

IMPORTED NUTS COST
u. S. MILLION A WEEK
Great Quantity of the Native
American Walnuts 60 to

Do you know that the United States
spends on the average of 100000 a
week for imported food nuts, while
millions of bushels Of our native
American walnuts go to waste every
season? writes H. r. Mosnat in the
Thrift Magazine.
So If $1,000,00O a week Is a joke the
Joke is on US, because we spend 1t
and the other countries get 1t, and
many people say that our native
American walnut is the best nut to
eat that grows.
Candy manufa cturers and bakers
need no longer hesitate to use native
American walnut meats because Of
an uncertain supply. That Is now a
thing of the past.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture states that there are
100000 acres of idle land mostly in
the East and central West fit only for
growing trees, and much of this now
idle land Is suitable for hardy nut
trees, including the black walnut.
Besides, each of the corn belt States
has many acres of very rich land, but
subject to overflow, and so low as to
be practically worthless. Such lands
are the natural home of the black
walnut.

TRAINS POLICE DOGS.
Deutscher Verein Utilizes Ground
Where Ex.Kaiser's Troops Drilled.

From the Kansas City Times.
One of: the Berlin parade grounds
where ex-Kaiser William used to re-
view his crack regiment has been
taken over for the training of police
dogs by the Deutscher Schaeferhund
Verein. There are $4,000 members
Of the society, which has branches
in virtually every town and city in
Germany, and where weekly meets
are held to teach the young dogs
new tricks and at the same time
keep the old dogs in trim. Most men,
bers of the organization are private
individuals who really have nothing
at all to do with police work, but
take an interest in the drills and
competitions merely as matter of
sport.
After the elementary grade is
passed most of the dogs are put
through a course designed to pro-
tect their masters from attack by
man, either in the street or in their
masters home. Some days, too, are
taught to attack imaginary criminals,
who are usually young men engaged
as dummies for this work. and who
wear enormous padded suits which
give Rhem the appearance of big
fat men or deep-sea divers all ready
