STOP LIGHTS ARE
 MUCH IN DEMAND
Many Advise Law Be Made
 Mandatory ii These

Hartford, Nov. 15 P>-Since the
 Since the issuance of the state mo- tor vehicle departments October bull letin on the need of hand signalling by motor vehicle operators the de- partment has received letters from rltlzens urging the requirement that all automobiles be equipped with stop lights.
 T feel that there are occasions, important ones, when there is no tune to make ) and signal, when one hand will be steering, one hand putting on the emergency brake, and the feet engaged in stopping the car writes q Darien man. "The occasions for instant stopping may be due solely to the discovery of a bad hole ahead and traffic preventing ones clearing it. There are many oc- casions when cars dash out of mar roWs side streets with no warning, Again, In crowded traffic, the line will suddenly stop ahead, and so on. Cars equipped with stop lights, such as mine, give warning as soon as the foot brake is pushed"
 The department replied that it is not trying to put any stop lights out of business. but, on the contrary expects and hopes that cars will al- ways be equipped with the best pos sible mechanical signals" What the departments wants, it is emphasized, is an adequate hand signal system for supplementary use. It believes that 1t ought to be obligatory to give hand signals of a certain type, leav- ing the question as to when those signals must be given wide open to

WANTS MILITARY
 RULE IN HEREIN
But Coy. Small Is Not Favor able to Mayors Idea

Herrin, H., Nov. IS. R-At- tempts to determine the identity of i gunmen who claimed another victim Saturday night occupied the time of Williamson county officials to- day, while Mayor Marshall Me Cormack and Governor Len Small continued at variance as to the best method of curbing the gang situa- tion in this territory.
 The latest victim was Claude Craig, 35, a coal miner, whose body was found early yesterday morning near a roadhouse in the outskirts of town operated by man known as Big Swede." Craig's body had been pierced by both buckshot and revolver bullets. County authori- ties. lacking clues, expressed the opinion that the coal miner did not come to his death at the hands of either the Birger or Shelton gangs, for he had not been known to as- sociate with either.
 The difference of opinion de- veloped after Mayor Mccormack made public letter to the states chief executive in which he de- cared that the establishment of a. military court was the only solution of the gang problem. The letter was directed to Governor Small be- fore last Friday. when the governor failed to recommend military meas ures after a conference at Spring field with the mayor and national guard officers, but it's contents pre- viously had not been revealed by Mccormack.
 The mayor wrote ''the gangs have reached such proportions that no sheriff. regardless of his efforts can relieve the conditions. The prose- cution of these outlaws is equally impossible, as no citizen will pro- duce evidence while these gangs are at large for fear of their own lives being taken and no prosecuting at torney could live who attempted it.. I have tried from every angle to work out some hopeful solution and the best minds of Southern Illinois have put their efforts into it, only to find it lost in dismal failure. There is no man in Williamson county who believes civil authorities can ever meet the existing conditions" h. limitation of witnesses, he declared. was one reason for failure of civil authorities to success ill investiga- tions.
 Governor Small in reply, asserted that the people of southern Illinois can not expect protection Until they are prepared to help give pro- lection" He asserted that the mur- ders here would have occurred re- gardlcss of the presence of troops, and that the service of National Guardsmen was not necessary unless civil authority had collapsed This condition, he said, he believed did not exist.
 Hope for ultimate solution of the problem was visioned in the declara- ton of the governor that ninety per cent of the people in southern Illi- nois are law-abiding and that the troublemarkers come from else
 where.

FORD RAISES PAY
 TO HELP W0RKMEN
This Offsets Losses Under Five
 Day Plan

Detroit, Nov. 15 R>-Raises in pay
 to offset the reductions brought
 about by the five day work week
 have been granted to 92,466 en-
 ployes of the Ford Motor company,
 and are gradually being put into ef-
 feet throughout the entire organiza-
 tion officials of the company an-
 nounced today
 The number to whom the in
 creases so far have been granted rep
 res mt about one third of the en- ployes of the motor company branch
 of the Ford organization. By spring
 officials indicated, they expect that
 every employe in the organization will have been brought under the
 new work plan.
 Plan Is Success
 Officials indicated they were satis- fled with the success of the new five day week.
 It is the contention of the Ford organization that with two days leisure each week, workers turn out more and bette: work, and in addi- ton point out that this leisure time helps the automobile business. MT. Sorenson denied reports that 1 the Ford company had been hard
 hit by competition, especially by the General Motors corporation, and for that reason had not been publishing production figures. He also denied that there had been large lay offs of men.
 I've have 11.000 more men in our employ now than tt the peak of em- ployment of previous years, Also we have been producing 6.500 cars a day this year on a five day basis v he said.

EDISON PERMITS MIND
 TO GO ON EXPLORATION
Noted Inventor Delyes Into Specu- lation As to What the Future
 Holds for Public.

New York. Nov. Is R - Speed and noise will characterize the city of tomorrow, as visualized by Thomas A. Edison in an interview in the current issue of the Forum.
 He forecasts the use of helicop- ters, able to rise vertically from the roofs of buildings, restriction of skyscrapers to avoid traffic conges- tion, and employment of mathema- ticians instead of policemen to solve traffic problems, as means of time saving.
 The noise in the huge and com- plex cities of the future will be tremendously greater than today. he believes. but nature will protect mans eardrums against the din by slightly deafening him.
 Crime and taxes. he believes. will decrease to an astonishing low point with the advent of scientific policement and government by ex- perts.

RUSSIAN JEWELS
 TO BE SOLD HERE
Gems Valued at Over S52,000.-
 900 Coming to U. s.

New York. Nov. 15 R - Report has it that group of Russians here has been organized to attempt to ob- tain by leg. process jewels of the former imperial household in Russia which Norman c. Weiss, the jeweler of London and Paris is bringing to the United States from Moscow to obtain control of these jewels, which are valued at fabulous sum, to sat- isfy claims against Red Russia
 These jewels run the gamut from the famous nuptial crown of Rather inc the Great. which cotains l,520 diamonds and is valued at s52,000,- 000, to a gewgaw in the shape of a baby's rattle of solid gold and ivory upon which the late Czar Nicholas cut his imperial teeth.
 Rudolph Oblatt, New York jew eler and partner of MT. Weiss said that there were four jewellers asso- ciated in the purchases of jewels of the former Russian imperial household, but he declined to identi- fly the other two members of the syndicate. He added that he had not yet been informed by his partner in Russia of the consummation of the purchase, but said it probably was effected late lat week in Moscow.
 The nuptial crown, the chief item of the purchase, was worn by that gay and most beautiful empress of Russian when in 1745 she welded Peter III. The crown of diamonds is surmounted by a superb cross of jewels.
 Included In the purchase Is the historic diamond studded three edg- cd sword of the made monarch" :" Paul I, which /, carried in the mill itary reviews of his day and the pointing of which at a. regiment which had gained his displeasure through poor n Aneuvers. meant that the entiro regiment was to be sent to bleak Siberia in exile. Paul was assassinated in 1901.
 Coming to the United States in the consign.n is hat of pure gold set with diamonds, emeralds and rubies, intended for the head of Mad Paul's pet monkey.
 Two thousand diamonds are i'm bedded in gold snuffbox used by Empress Elizabeth. daughter. of Peter the Great. It also holds a blood-colored jasper and is valued at s15,000. There also are several gold en easter eggs embellished with dia- monds. the girt of the late Empress Alexander to her imperial husband. The magnificent bodice worn by Katherine the Great at. the corona tion of Peter III and herself on Jan uary 1762. also is in the lot
 With the assistance of her para mour, Gregory Orloff, and others of her followers, Katherine brought about the deposition of Peter in July. l762 and usurpod the throne. Peter was put to death in prison.
 A dispatch from Moscow says all the gems secured by MT. Weiss will be placed on sale in the American market. If there should be Ameri- can women affluent enough to pur- chase katherine's crown Mir. Weiss purposes to break up the diadem and sell the stones separately.
 MT. Weiss has not yet depleted the soviet governments treasure house, for there still remain in the vaults in excess of S200, 900, coo worth of imperial jewels which 1t purposes to turn into cash for the purchase of blows. machinery and locomotives and for other practical needs,

Piles Disappear
No Cutting or Salves Needed

No Cutting or Salves Needed
 External treatments seldom cure Piles
 Nor do surgical operations.
 The cause is inside--bad circulation
 The blood Is stagnant, the veins fabby
