WARNS AGAINST FIRES
Highway Department Asks Caution
 By The Public

Continuing it's drive to lesson the i forest fire hazard Co Connecticut wood l lands the Connecticut State Highway i Department today issued warning i to motorists using tho highway of this state against throwing lighted ci- cigarettes and cigars into the under brush and dead leaves along the shoulders of the highways.
 The highway department also issued caution Co property owners along the highways against destroying dead leaves by building honfires on the shoulders of the road, lest sparks from these fires be dry blown into the woods and develop into forest fires Due to the hot, dry weather of the past month and due to the rapid fall If the leaves, most Of the woodland along the highways in Connecticut is now so dry that the mallest spark might start a conflagration.
 Guard Bonfires
 Property owners are requested by the department to rake dead leaves in to a protected spot on their own land before burning them and to carefully guard all boniires while they are burn ing. IL is essential to the safety of the woodland that all fires of this nature be carefully extiHguished before they are left unguarded.
 During the past summer the high way department has made a special effort to clear from the shoulders of the highway all dry brush and other 1 inflammable materials. Despite this preeaution. however, no amount of work can keep the shoulders of the highway free from the accumulation of dead leaves. These leaves are excellent finder. and only glowing match cigarette, or cigar is necessary to turn them into roaring fire which may destroy thousands of acres of val uable woodland before 1t can be extin- guished.

SHOOT-TO- KILL ORDER
ISSUED IN CHICAGO
Police Chief Tells Men to Open

Gangs Committing Crime.
Bv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO. April 22.-Shoot first and
shoot to kill is the prescription Chief
Michael Hughes has given the Chicago
police for ridding the city Of criminals
in 30 days.
IF you catch a gang in the act of
q holdup or some other crime start
shooting" he told 105 detective bu-
reau squad leaders last night. And
when you shoot mean it--shoot to kill.
Just be policemen and have no fear
of politics, I'll take care of any politics
that come into it.
And while he told his men to be
rough on the croQSs--the rougber the
better-he told them to give great
care in the rights of respectable citi-
zens. II viii not tolerate the arrest
of decent people. Let the good people
alone. You can tell a thief when you
see one. If YOU can't you don't belong
at the bureau"
The squad leaders answered the
chief with cheers and confident as.
surances that they would make good.

The Richmond editor at the outset
stirred the applause of the delegates
ov referring TO the next Democratic
convention. II do not know why Mr..

ne said His proper place is IN
Washington I will nominate him for
the Vice Presidency at the National
Democratic convention and | would
nominate him for the presidency if J.
thought that a Southern Democrat
could be elected"
Or. Freeman then plunged into his
address. lie supplemented his re-.
marks with statistics and figures on
the social. traditional and economic
cycIes of North Carolina, South Caro-
lima and Virginia. He outlined the
causes of the revolution he said had
occurred bringing about a decline in
agricultural life in the South. Seven
teen per cent of agricultural farm
land has passed out Of cultivation in
these States in the last Is years, and
there has been nominal decline in
farm property value of 1927 600 900.
he said THE agricultural census
shows that the crop value has de-
clined $551. 100000 from 1919 to 1924"
Urban and Rural Conflict.
He then traced the conflict between
urban and rural life, showing that
between 1910 and 1920 the urban
population Of the three States gained
43 per cent. ''The social revolution
threatens to widen the gap between
rural and urban standards of living,
said Or. Freeman. there is general
agra garian discomfort, and it is not
that the rural standard OF living IS
lower, but that the urban has been
raised so much higher"
'eThe banker is the key man in the
social revolution" he said. THE
greater part Of the bankers associa-
ton has been to investigate rural un-
rest. The farmer still looks to the
banker for advice as ] hope he still
looks to the preacher and the editor.
Or. Freeman then related how he
thought it possible for the banker to
assume this advisory position. He
urged that loans be given TO farmers
with diversified crops, rather than 70
those who stake everything on one
crop such as cotton or tobacco.
''The result" he said has been
that when loans were made on sin
gle crops, the farmer would plant all
cetton or all tobacco and over pro-
duetion would follow"
The banker as a counselor for the
negro Of the South was urged Are
