mr.. RATHBONE, vice chairman
v of the National Surety COM
pany, says "it's a $4,000, 000,-
900 crime wave" Insurance COM
panics are refusing insurance against
theft, won't insure fur stores or GER
tain lines Of jewelry at all.
Vigilance committees are suggested
for big cities. Three bootleggers
killed each other in New York yester-
day. And that happens often. But
there are always two live bootleggers
TO take the place of dead one.
, ERANK HAGUE is mayor OF Jer-
L sey City, and any city that lacks
"action" in its affairs ought to hire
for mayor a brother or sister Of
Frank Hague.
Cyrus II. X. Curtis is disturbed
by Mayor Hague, who manages New
Jerseys Democratic party, elects
Democratic governors and senators in
place of customary Republicans.
Having investigated" Frank
Hague, Mr.. Curtis writer finds moth
ing against him, but doesn't approve
of the mayors grammar" This
writer can testify that the mayors
grammar is at least as good as the
average, and one sample is recon-
mended to mayors in general.
Turing a coal strike, families in
- Jersey City were unable to get
coal and the mayor put his police at
the ferries with orders mot to al
low load of coal TO go to New York
until we have all We want for the
people in Jersey City,"
One of New York's high financial
powers asked by what right Mayor
Hague acted in so rude a manner.
Mayor Hague replied: "By the right
of the end of night stick. Come on
over and let's see what you are 60
ing to do about it."
THAT grammar" suited the peo-
1 pie of Jersey City. They got
coal.
And in a few days Mayor Hague
will elect a Democratic governor of
New Jersey, further demonstrating
the efficiency of his kind Of gram
mar.
JUDGE GARY, as conservative as
~ the Ten Commandments promises
magnificently greater prosperity. Chi
cago is building, growing as never
before. In a thousand places there
are a thousand booms.
CONSIDER that spot taken so
~ much for granted, New York
City.
Ask a citizen 1000 miles from New
York what he knows about Queens"
or "The Bronx He will know lit
Tie or nothing.
RUT Queens and Bronx. little Dor
- oughs tucked away in Greater
New York, are each one bigger in
population than los Angeles.
And the yearly increase in New
York's population is more than three
times the total population Of mar
velous Miami. Don't forget New
York is adding up Uncle Sans valu-
able assets.
A ND consider Henry Ford, another
"A asset. His output Of cars is
now 1900 n day and by November 1,
his factories expect to go on a
5000 basis.
II Ford only made a profit OF
$50 a car on the 5000 cars, his net
income would be $450,OO0 a day,
enough to support any family of
TREE.
THE "saturation point" in the au-
L tomobile industry is still remote.
In September $4,000 more automo-
biles were made than in August.
Production and sales are increasing.
There will he no "saturation point"
for a long while. The public can
use and ought TO have at least three
times as many automobiles as are
now running. A man without an
automobile is like a bird without
wings, a wagon without wheels.
Buy n car, but don't gamble in mo-
tor stocks or anything else-you'll
be sorry.
A POOR GIRL in Boston COM
"A mits suicide because she could
not get winter finery. And libraries
in London say that modern young
girls with hair and skirts bobbed, de-
mand love stories, as did former gen.
erations of girls with hair and skirts
long.
They want moonlight scenes, and
"big strong silent men," as lovers.
A FTER they get such a man he

himself, and never stops. But that
doesn't discourage them.
