JUST AFTER ALL
 EAT IS THE TIME
Los Angeles Burglars Find This
 Safety Hour

Los Angeles, May IS. (APl That eight o'clock in tho evening is Burglars hour" instead of after midnight as hitherto has been the popular belief, is revealed in statis- tics compiled by the Los Angeles police department From 10 D. "a. more houses and stores are en- tered, more loot taken. and more getaways made than in any corres- Donding period of all the 24 hours.
 Strangely, too, the report says, the two hours immediately follow ing midnight. when persons appear 10 have the greatest fear of burg lars. arc when fewer night rohber- ies are committed.
 During October, November and December, last 2,290 burglares were reported in Los Anfoles at D. m. when most families were eat ing dinner, burglary business picked mp, By ' o'clock it was well under way and at eight 1t was q foodtide. Then il rcccded slowly until a. m, when store robberics began 10 make up for the slump in the resi- dentia districts. In the three months, 90 residence robbcries were reported at 6 D. m, 11S at [, and 233 at s. By D. m. the number had dropped 10 l45, and at 10, when people are returning from the first movie show. the number had dimin- ished 10 70.
 At 1 a. m when practically the entire city was sleeping, only 2S burglar visits were recorded. and al 2 a. m. only so. Most of these were In the business districts, At the number as d result of raids on stores, had increased 10 70, but at 4. when the milkmen and carly risers began 10 move about, there were only 37.
 Of the 2,29o robberies, 242 occur- red at an unknown hour of the day and COB at an unknown hour of the night.
 Private residences appear to yield he richest harvest, The statistics show that during the three-month period. 974, or little less than one half of the total burslarics, were committed in residences. There were 594 in apartment houses and hotels. 50l in business places, 89 in offices, 8 in public buildings, and ( on vessels at anchor in the harbor, Tho remainder ol the robbcrics were Of miscellaneous character.
 The favorite mode of entrance is through the front door. tho report says. Out of inc 2.290 robbcries en- trance 10 7Go homes was gained through doors whose locks were picked, while 4S7 occurred where persons had unintcntonaIly left doors or windows unlocked and the burglars entered without meeting any obstacle. Two hundred and forty-six places were robbed through bodily entrance and 309 doors and windows were "iimmied."
 A home Is seldom robbed while it's tenants are sleeping, Burglars do most of their work in the night, but at hours when families arc away or so engrosed in their radio or work that they do not hear the robbers.

STILL BLAST ROCKS
LOWER MANHATTAN

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The explo.
sion of huge still which wrecked a
four-story building at No. 262 South
Street, shook the whole of lower Man
haitian and started fire which
shrouded the surrounding area for sew
cral blocks with acrid black smoke,
was being Investigated today.
According to eyewitness, the
force of the explosion drove through
the entire four floors of the building
from the basement where the still was
located. and blew large section of
the roof several feet into the air. Two
men who happened to be in the build
ing at the time, were badly bruised.
Two fireboats aided in getting the
flames under control.
An examination by fire officials re-
vcaled the shattered remains of three
600-gallon stills in the rear of the
building. Prohibition agents said the
stills were the largest ever seen in
the city. The building is normally
occupied by BARLEY and Company,
dealers in bags and burlap.

VETS GAINING
FORCE, SAYS
BUTLER
Prohibition Losing Many
Friends, Declares Prexy
Of Columbia.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-CP-The
tide of public opinion has definitely
turned against prohibition in the be-
lief Of Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University.
Last weeks Senate debate started
by Senator Edge of New Jersey was
the beginning of what will be a sue
ccssful movement to reform "the pres
emit intolerable situation" he thinks.
VIEWS CHANGING.
voluminous correspondence on the
subject, he said, in letter made
public last night, showed that thous-
ands Of men and women who had been
sincere prohibitionists have changed
their views and are asking leader
ship in a movement to reform the pres
ent laws.
Mr.. Buffers letter was written to
Mrs. Victor A. Seggerman of Atlantic
Highlands, N. j., and contended that
ito drive prohibition out Of the coun-
try has become a moral ISSUE"
The violation of fundamental and
righteous laws in the futile and law
breaking attempt to enforce a foolish
and untruthful law" he wrote, is "the
most immoral undertaking on which
any government ever embarked"
SALOON MUST CO."
sNo immoral and unreasonable pub
lis act can long stand" he added.
The same argument was made for
slavery IS years ago that is made for
prohibition today. As slavery was
driven out of the constitution and out
Of the country, so prohibition will be,
and we shall develop a plan to abolish
the saloon, to suppress the liquor traf-
fic and to reduce drunkenness to a
minimum which would in accordance
both with the traditions Of Christian
ity and the principles Of the American
government"
Mrs. Seggerman, who wrote to DIR.
Butler, criticizing his opposition to
prohibition, expressed surprise that
he had made his letter public and re-
iterated her belief that when one
upholds rum, he is upbolding evil"
