Hylan left it to be inferred that

The chances are that when things

about like the "prodigal son." who

National Crime Wave

IF drinking in line of duty were the
Il only, or even the worst result of
prohibition we might still find it
possible to be optimistic, but the
idea of violating the law in order
to enforce 1t has led to a multitude
of unsavory practices.
So, too has the idea of violating
it, for the sake of consistency.
Graft, corruption and contempt
for government have combined to
produce such a crime wave as prob
ably never was known in this coun-
try.
Whether prohibition can be held
solely, or even largely responsible
may be a matter of argument, but
there Is no doubt that the crime
wave synchronized with its arrival.

j, S, Stands Alone

A S reflected by court records and
N prison population, other coun-
tries appear fairly to have been
successful in reducing crime since
the war.
In Prussia, for instance, there
were 10000 prisoners six years ago
while there are only $4,000 today.
In these blessed United States, how
ever, where prosperity has enjoyed
an uninterrupted reign, if We may
believe the politicians, court dockets
have fallen bonind and prisons
have become crowded to point of

BRIDGE HALTS AUTO PLUNGE
Fred Herst, of Denton, Slightly In
jured at Chesapeake City Span

Alertness of a bridge tender at
Chesapeake City, Md, on Tuesday
Of last week, prevented an automo-
bile and it's driver from plunging
into the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal after the auto had struck
the government vertical lift bridge
as it was being raised. Fred Herst
of Denton, Md, driver of the car,
was slightly injured and taken to
the Union Hospital at Elkton for
treatment. The bridge was being
raised by Lewis Lloyd, bridge OPP
erator,to allow the steamship John
Cadwalader, bound for Baltimore,
to pass. The bridge had been lift
ed about 2 1-2 feet when Herst
drove up. Seeing Herst's car was
not stopping Lloyd stopped raising
the brige. The car struck the
bridge and Herst was thrown out
If the bridge operator had not
thrown over the bridge controls
the auto would have plunged into
the canal. After the accident
Herst is said to have told govern
ment employees that he had seen
the red klinker lights warning
outos to stop, but saw them toe
late to bring his car to a stop. 1t

MEXICAN BEETLE ACTIVE
Lower New Castle and Upper Kent
Counties Are Now Troubled

According to farmers in lower
New Castle county about Town
send and the upper part of Kent
county, the Mexican beetle has be-
come active and added to the
roubles of farmers already disturb
ed over the activities of the jap
anese beetle. u. S. Marshall Wal
ter A. Money said that Mexican
beetles were destroying a large
patch of several acres of string
beans that he had on his farm and
that he feared that they would also
devour lima beans. The beetles
start on the foliage and after the
leaves have died under their hung
ry Vaccinations, start in on the
beans themselves. William Ascot
farmer, located near Townsend
Marshall Money said, also was be-
ing disturbed by the Mexican beet
| les, as were other farmers in the
section. The formula for spray
can be secured from ]. S. Adams,
State agriculturist. According to
reports from the section about
Townsend, the Japanese beetles are
not so plentiful, but the Mexican
beetles are now very active.

INCREASE IN WHEAT PRICE
Department of Commerce Places
Probable Rise Between 15 and 25C

An increase Of Is and 25 cents
a bushel in the price of wheat over
last year is held a possibility by the
department of Agriculture in its
crop condition report issued Mon
day. The worlds carry over of
wheat the report said appears to
be about 100 to 125 million bushels
in excess of the carry over on July
last year, but it was added that
weather and crop conditions re-
ports to July II indicate that the
worlds wheat crop may be about
325 million bushels less than last
year. Allowing for an increase of
20 million bushels annually in the
worlds demand for wheat. the re-
port estimated that normally this
reduction in supply would have the
effect of raising world prices about
/ 25 cents a bushel. Because of the
large carry over of wheat in the
United States, the market price
for export wheat might not be in
creased by so much as 25 cents a
bushel, the report added, but it
was indicated that an increase of
Is to 25 cents a bushel over the
average for the past season might
be expected. The worlds carry
over of wheat on July 1 was placed
at from 100 to 125 million bushels
in excess of the 421 million bushels
accounted for on July 1 last year.
Most of the increase was said to be
in this country. The stocks on
farms was estimated at about As
million bushels as compared with
"a millions last year, while the
commercial visible supply was
placed at 90 millions as compared
with AZ millions in 1928, an in
crease of rs millions bushels in
these two positions. Some increase
in country mills and elevators and
in merchant mills also is to be ex-
pected, the report said.
