Children Steal Away

Hundreds of West Indianapolis
children steal away from home to
forbidden swimming holes in White
River and Eagle Creek, where
many drownings occur.
Mcbride hopes that they viii

that the facilities for swimming

WORKERS KILLED
At Coal Mines During June
Number 145

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-Accidents at
coal mines in the United States in
June resulted in 145 deaths among the
employees, according to information
received from state mine inspectors
by the bureau of mines Of the depart
ment of commerce The fatality rate,
based on the months production of
44, ,971 900 tons of coal, was 1922 per
million tons, as compared with 4.16
deaths per million tons in une, 1924.
Seventeen Of the 145 fatalities were
due to a mine explosion at Sturgis,
KY, on June 8. In June last year Ia
lives were lost in an explosion at
Wilkes Barre, Pa.
Reports made to the bureau OF
mines covering bituminous mines
throughout the country showed 81
fatal accidents in June AS the out
put of bituminous coal in June was
81, ,167 900 tons, the fatality rate was
l2.56 per million tons. The CORES
ponding rate for June a year ago was
3.44, while the average rate for June
over 1O-year period, 1915-1924, was
3.58, thus indicating marked i'm.

Paramount Week, nationally rec
ognized as the official start Of the
theatrical season, will be observed
in Hamilton starting Sunday, Sept.
6. This years event will be the 9Th
and while Greater Movie Season"
has been going on all during August,
the biggest of the big ones" arrive
then. AS has been the custom here
in Hamilton during the past three
years, Paramount Week will again be
observed exclusively at the Palace
theatre. 1t is in this connection that
announcement comes from the Para
mount Famous Players-Lasky offices,
approving contracts with the Palace
theatre, a deal involving the largest
financial outlay ever undertaken. The
consummation of this business ar
rangement grants to the Palace the
atre the exclusive privilege of pre-
senting all brand new Paramount re-
leases, and guarantee Herewith
that no picture shown at the Palace
theatre will again be seen in any
other theatre in Hamilton for period
of one year from date Of exhibition
at the Palace.
A similar contract has also been
successfully negotiated with the Uni
versal Film Company for Jewel pro-
ductions, whereby henceforth the big
gest and best of the Jewel pictures
comes to the Palace theatre, con-
tract that also embodies exclusive
showing for a period of one year,

PLANT WITHOUT
TIME CLOCK
Richman Bros. Trusts 1900
Workers to Do Fair
Days Work

There is one factory in the country
that boasts of not having either a
time clock or a boss. This factory
is that of Richman Bros, Cleveland,
where the clothes sold at the Hamil-
ton store of Richman Bros. are sold.
And this plant is large one-five
and a half acres of floor space, 1900
workers, and 1000 suits are turned
out every eight hours. Each girl
keeps her production record and the
management leaves it to each opera
tor as to what constitutes fair days
work. The Richman Bros. are not
trying out theory. AS they put it
eve are business men seeking pro-
fits and our experience has shown
us we get better production by put
ting each operator on her own re-
sources"
That this policy has worked out
more than satisfactorily is best at
tested by the fact that the business
started with virtually nothing and
the present market values Of it's stock
| is more than $15,OOO,OO0 with retail
stores in 18 cities.
Model Factory
The factory of the Richmond Bros.
| is model one and was erected for
work under the most ideal conditions.
It is made airy and light by huge

adopted and rigidly adhered to a
three-a-week policy, proposition that
was as costly as it was inconvenient.
It was brought on by our desire to
be "ready for action" by the time fall
arrived. To what extent we succeed
ed may be evidenced by the great
number of "Greater Movie Season"
attractions shown at the Palace the
ire during the month of August, fully
six of which will not come to Cincin-
att until next month and the month
thereafter. It's too bad in way, for
screen epics like 1Drusilla With a
Million" or Richard Dix's "The Lucky
Devil' ought to play here for from
five days to week, instead of the
two or three days allotted to these
bookings. But we adopted the policy,
and had to go through with it-oft-
times against our personal likes or
desires. Next week-that is, begin
ming August Both, we return to our
regular two-a-week change of pro-
gram. It is my personal belief that
the current season will see the sue
cessful perturbation of more popular
plays and books than any like period
in the past. And if / weren't such
dyed-in-th -the-wool movie fan myself
the foregoing Palace lineup for the
new season would most assuredly
convert me as it will others"

Done and Crime

DOPULAR belief that addition to drugs
i is a contributing factor TO crime Is
given n rude jolt by DR.. Lawrence Kolb,
surgeon of the hygienic laboratory OF the
United States health service.
After a personality and psychiatric
study of 225 drug addicts in city jails and
hospitals, DR.. Kolb concludes that mo OPT
ate ever directly influenced addicts to COM
nit violent crimes, and in the vast major
ity of cases a criminal addict was a crimi-
nal before he got the drug habit"
Fluctuations in the homicide wave. he
says, are due to factors that bear no rela-
ton TO drug addiction.
One addict told him, IF there is n
yellow in you, heroin will bring it out. /"
Another said, 1T would be impossible to
commit a crime but you do bad things that
there are no risks in."
Belief that dope" is an incentive to
bold crime has long been n popular theory.
Perhaps it owes part Of its popularity to
the adherence of most of us for drugs
and drug addicts. One hopes that DIR.
Kolb's findings will not encourage more
addiction.

A Poor Mans Case

THE battle of old George Carson. the
i poor miner, with the great copper
corporations, to secure $50, 100000 for in
f%ringement on his smelter patents, is of
great interest, as a conflict between right
and the power of organized dollars and

ents and, ordinarily, this decision would

U. S. supreme court, in line with the
f~avorite policy of wearing down the poor
litigant. On the other side, Carson's at
torneys maintain that such appeal can
only be taken on two grounds.
First, the copper kings must show that
the issue affects the welfare of the whole
people. As most all of the copper cor

" fewer lives were lost in railroad cross
ing accidents in the United States during
the period from June l to October /, 1924,

This was due largely to the intensive

in fatalities was made in the face of a
20 per cent increase in the number of
automobiles.
Much credit for conservation of human
