POLICE TO BE
EQUIPPED WITH
! HEAVY ARM0R
Chicago Force Suffers IL
Fatalities at Hands of
Gunner.
Bg United Press


CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.--Appalled by
the slaughter of policemen by Chi.
cago gunner, Chief of Police Morgan
A. Collins is seeking an effective
protective armor to save his men.
Collins, at the request Of the
United Press. compiled mortality
figures showing that in 1924, twelve
while the police in turn killed thirty
three law breakers.
So far this year, the same mum.
Der of policemen had been shot to
death and twenty-three gunner died
from bullet wounds inflicted by po-
licemen.
"Shoot to KiIP'
Policemen have orders to shoot to
kill.
There is only one way to meet
the gunner and that is with guns"
Collins declared. "Gunmen do not
hesitate to use revolvers on their
victims or the policemen when they
are In danger Of arrest, and my men
nave been instructed to beat them
to the shooting.
The policemen have been told to
shoot first when they find a gunman
In the active commission of a crime
or when a known gunman gives the
slightest resistance to arrest"
Scores Wounded
Scores Of gunner and policemen
have been wounded during the past
two years.
Il want to give our men all the
protection possible and for that rea.
son / want some sort Of shield"
Collins said.
Collins yesterday tried out a shield
he wants for his automobile squads.
Bullets from a thirty calibre Mauser
revolver easily punctured the device.
Collins will ask the makers to use
heavier ar1nor.

Railways Are Buying
Fewer Locomotives

According to information collected
by the United States Department of
Commerce, there were 81 new loco
motives shipped to the railroads Of
the United States from the manu-
featuring plants during April of this
year.
This, compared with 43O in 1924
and 883 in 1923, shows a sharp fall
ing off in the purchase Of new pow
er. The untitled orders for April,
1925, amounted to 1862 locomotives
The number for 1924 and 1923 were
$50 and 2,204, respectively.
"This indicates that instead of
spending large amounts for new
equipment, the railroads are using
the surplus power previously pur-
chased" said an official of the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Gwen now there are 1877 per cent of
the locomotives of the country out of
service. During the year of the great
est business in railroad history, 1924,
about the same proportion was out of
use.
''In the case of the Pennsylvania
and the New Haven this ran as high
as ~ W w pei IClll' ASSOI "
late reports, the percentages run to
80 per cent in the case Of the first
and PIT per cent for the second sys-
tenn.
"The heavy expenditure in 1923 and
1924 for new power accomplished sew
eral things of interest to the roads.
First, it helped support the claim that
the lines were turned back from Fed
eral control in a delapidated condi-
ton; second, it converted the public
to the propaganda sent out that the
roads would perform wonders in the
way of service if left to themselves;
third, it made the powerful and
wealthy equipment companies very
friendly to the program Of the roads.
"That this program also assisted in
evading the recapture clause Of the
Transportation Act might have had
some influence in its favor.

FROG is INNOCENT

The humble wart has always been
noted for the fanciful fibs told about
it, and the delightful science of wart-
healing has gloriously thrived among
the superstitious of all time and all
ages. But actual wart-removing pro-
cesses have made as little progress in
the human race as among the pickles
both continue to have them.
Most of the so-called theories of
their cause and their cure belong to
the same category of delectable non
sense as Huck Finn's belief in the eff
ficacy of rubbing a dead cat across
the wart and later burying 1.-THE
cat of course.
Tom Sawyer also had a charming
theory that warts could be cured by
going to a "spunk-water stump" in
the woods and saying:
"Barley-corn, barley-corn, Injun-
meal shorts,
SpunkWater, Spunk-Water, sWal-
Ter these warts"
Dozens of theories there are, alas,
too numerous for mention in this
brief column, but it is hereby an
nounced, proclaimed and made pub
licly known now and forever that the
following observations are simon-pure
nonsense without the slightest founda-
ton in fact.
That warts are caused by frogs.
That warts may be cured by rubbing
them with raw meat.
That the water in which eggs are
boiled, when applied to the hands,
will produce warts.
That constant spiting on a wart will
induce its disappearance.

Some Good Facts
About LabOr's Army

How large is the army of trade
unionists? In what division does it
march? These are questions answer
ed by the third-year book of the In
ternational Federation of Trade In
ions for 1925. According to it, at the
end of 1923 there were &c, 6,439,32 or
ganized workers of whom 16,490,121
were connected with the International
Federation of Trade Unions, while
5,245, ,889, principally in Russia, were
affiliated with the Communist Inter
national. 1t may surprise American
trade unionists to learn that there are
2,354,58 members connected with
clerical or church trade unions and
404, 700 with syndicalist movements.
Eleven million, nine hundred and sew
enty thousand and twenty-seven
workers are reported by the year
book to take neutral position, which
means, we suppose, that like our own
A. F. of L., they have no internation-
al affiliation.
Austria has the largest percentage
of trade unionists-17 out of every
hundred. Germany, England, Aus
tralia, Czecho Slovakia and Belgium
follow in the order named. In a large
number of countries the proportion of
trade unionists is very small. These
include such important lands as
China, Japan, India, The Argentine,
Brazil, South Africa, Finland, Bull
garia, Portugal, Jugo Slavia, Rou-
mania and Peru. In none of these
countries is as much as one and one
half per cent of the population con-
nected with the trade-union move
ment.

SURPRISING FREEDOM

The first contingent of American aviators left Paris today to take ser vice in the French army against Abd el Krim, the Moroccan chieftain who is fighting to free his country from French domination. The puissant chieftain cannot be classed as an ig- norant, lawless brigand, as he is as highly educated as the average American was at the time of the up- rising of America against British rule. For many years France and Spain have attempted to gain foothold in northern Africa, fighting desperately to hold on to what they have gained. It ill becomes any American to take up arms against a nation fighting for freedom against an alien foe. Liberty is the most priceless possession of the human race, and the most ignorant tribe is more competent to govern it's affairs in their own way than under the domination of despotic educated rulers.
 The Moroccan rebel up 10 the pre- sent time has held his own against the guns and airplanes of his more powerful foe, but there is no doubt that the combined forces of France, Spain and several hundred adventu. rous aviators can crush out any spirit of freedom remaining i.1 the little country.
 The interview given newspapermcn by Abd el Krim, published in a recent issue of the Literary Digest is as pol. ished as the statements of the immor. far above the average in mentality end patriotic fervor.

why cannot both be right in thelr teachings. Science may be right in many teachings, and is yet groping after truth, but the average person can accept whatsoever of these ideas that may conform with his views. To attempt to force him to believe them by legislation is wrong and can result in opposition to the persons attempt ing it. The man who believes in theories conflicting with the teach ings of the Bible has no right to thrust his views upon others, espe- cially the immature minds of children. But to expound the theory of evolu- tion can be no more wrong than for

fisherman to insist that a whales gullet is too small to have taken Jo- nah in as a passenger. The Bible says that "big fish" swallowed him. The layman of today calls the fish a whale because it is the largest fish he knows of.
 If theory is not proven to be a fact it will in time die, and be replac- ed by another theory. Why not let the evolution theory die out instead of attempting to legislate it out of peoples minds?

The reported strike at Valdez Creek appears to be a "duster." An article taken from the Fairbanks News Miner from the pen of an old timer of the Cantwell section, shows that all the ground on the creek has been staked for the past fifteen years, and that operators are not making expenses. Those who rushed off to the scene of the new strike will probably get stung.

TENACIOUS LEGISLATION

One of the greatest evils resulting from the recent evolution trial in Day. ton, Tennessee, will be the attempt Of public school boards to force reli- zion on the public by injunction. The man who does not believe in a su- preme being, with the many evidences Of His existence on every hand is a fool. Few persons are atheists at heart, but espouse it's cause from a desire for publicity or undue notori- ety. Evolution is not a fact any more than the miracles of the Bible are a fact, if one must produce proof as to their authenticity, but no proof is re- quired by the right thinking person. To the Christian we'll grounded in the precepts of Christianity and with an abiding faith in the hereafter, no proof is required that God exists. But to prove that He exists in certain form, namely, that of man, would probably be hard to confirm. Man undoubtedly has soul. Can you prove it? No! But you know he has because all evidences point to the fact. A man without religious ten dencies is as irresponsible and fires olute as ship without a rudder. The we'll ordered scheme of existence is too perfect to have just happened. To higher power

NesO Yorkers Act Of
Courtesy Was Wanted

He Ii q New Yorker distinguished
for his unfailing courtesy. 1t has be-
come second nature to him to do the
right and kind thing. Strangely
enough, he Is also given to moments
Of absorption in which externals reg
lister only automatically upon his con-
sciousness. Frequently, In his home
ward walks, he becomes 50 occupied
with his own thoughts that he Is In 4
world quite apart from that which Is
worrying past him. However, the In
stinct of courtesy remains, no matter
how preoccupied he may be.
He was strolling homeward an eve
ming or two ago, lost In reverie. The
people who went by were merely gray
shapes, futter on the screen he dim
IL saw out of the tail Of his eye.
One shape came toward him,
vague thing, one Of many. AS 1t
reached a point abreast Of him he saw
something white hutter from 1t to the
sidewalk. To his engrossed mind that
meant only one thing, that someone
dropped something, and the someone
woman, as they are the ones who most
often drop things Courtesy demanded
that he stoop and pick 1t Up and re-
turn 1t.
For just one instant he emerged
from his preoccupation, stopped and
picked up the white thing he had seen
futter down. He proffered 1t to the
young woman, and then, all OF sud
den, realized he was handing her
woolly white dog
Thanks ever so much" she said,
'but / intended to let him down for
little run"
And Mr.. Courtesy raised his hat, and
passed on and back into his reverie.-

Belief in Horseshoes
Traced to the Druids

The idea that 1t Is lucky 10 hnd
horseshoe is regarded by authorities on
folklore as a Druidical survival.
The superstition is peculiar to re-
gions where Druidism once fiourished,
and the Druidical places OF worship, as
exemplified by Stonehenge, made their
inner circle Of stones broken or open
one.
The idea that horseshoe brings the
best luck when you find 1t lying with
the points toward you-the sacred In
ner circle open to you, as 1t were
also bears upon this theory.
Druidism passed but the supersti-
ton outlasts empires and religions, and
when horseshoes became common the
supersitious found ready at hand
representation of the ancient symbol OF
the broken circle. The idea that in
attaching the symbol to the house the
points should be up had Druidical
slgnification which has been lost. Peo-
pie nowadays say it is ito prevent the
luck running out"
