organizer as follows:

that the Lenn Memorial Meeting should be
held as lecture by Scott Nearing for that

the lecture should be similar to all other
lectures by Comrade Nearing but to add
bit concerning Lenin thereby giving it
memorial character The theme should be
one which can easily include something Len

One gets a conception of the lack of contact
with the masses from this bit penned by one
of the members of the unit which gives us a
picture of their life.
In Cliffside n j., we are ready to issue
our first shop paper in sugar refinery. When
the question was raised in the unit as to- the
distribution of the shop paper it was found
there was considerable resistance. After some
discussion it appeared that the leader in the
resistance against the building up of the shop
paper was boss barber who said: "Some of
the foremen in the refinery take shaves in my
shop. If we issued a shop paper they won't
give me their trade anymore. / can't have any
thing to do with it." Unfortunately, the COM
rades argued with him on the basis that even
if the foremen stop coming to his shop, more
workers will come as result of the shop
paper. This is no solution for such elements
in our units. Petty -bourgeois people who re-

ST0ECKEL ALLOWS COPS MORE POWER
Police May Now Revoke Drivers
 Licenses Pending Trial

Hartford, July q - Delegating his authority to take licenses into the hands of state and municipal po- lice, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel has written letters to Commissioner Robert T. Hurley of the state police and all Connecticut police chiefs giving them the power to take li- censes of all drivers arrested for op- erating while intoxicated. for reck- less driving when there is evidence that the operators have been drink ing intoxicants and for evading re- sponsibility
 These licenses are to be sent to the state commissioner and will be returned only after a thorough in vestigation of each case.
 The new practice. which is de- signed to keep dangerous persons off the highway while their cases are waiting disposition in the courts, will go into effect at once. Com- menting on his new campaign to rid the roads of dangerous drivers. . Stoeckel said, Drink and driving do not mix and one drink which pro- duces recklessness is just as bad as the effect produced by twenty"

Speeding around the one-mlle dirt track at Bakersfield, Calf, a stock W!llys SlX sedan has just completed a -0o-mils run in ST minutes. for an average Of 62 miles an hour.

 The original plan called for q run ot 7o1 miles in To9 minutes, but the Gar was showing such smoothness that it was decided 10 increase its speed and thus finish the run at an average Of better than 6o miles an hour
 Not a drop of water was added to the original radiator supply at any time during the run.

court in the abstract is merely knowledge of the fact that there has been conviction for that lesser offenst, and license suspension is accordingly fitted to that as being the proper procedure.
 T do not want to bother you un- duly in connection with your duties, but it occurs to me that we can meet this situation mutually if you will carry out my delegation of pow CT as follows: l desire, and 1 do delegate you as my representative in all cases where one of your of ficers charges operating while in toxicated.'

WEARS of ceaseless campaigning, Of battles
with Congress for appropriations, of educa-
tional work among careless visitors, have at
last borne fruit in the national forests of the
country, and as a result during the first nine
months Of 1890 the loss from fires has been 81
per cent below the total Of 1929. OF course,
there remained three months of the year yet
to run when the figures were totaled, but the
fire season had been largely passed by that time.
These figures are particularly encouraging in
the light Of the drought conditions and greater
fire hazard.
As many fires had broken out in the national
forests this year up to September IL as occurred
during the whole of last year, but the 7,450
fires reported to September IL burned over only
181 889 acres, as against e78, LOT acres burned
over by 7,449 fires in the IL months Of 1929,
according to a summary of official regional re-
ports by Henry Void, branch of operation For
est Service. This heavy reduction Of losses
compared with last year is also great improve
ment over the average of the last five years.
Fire suppression costs have been cut in half
so far this year, owing largely to the fact that
most fires have been held to small acreages.
Man-caused fires decreased by 343, creditable
improvement when the number of tourists and
campers in the national forests Is taken into
consideration Improved organization for IRE
fighting, together with growing public serti-
ment fOT f1re prevention are given much credit
for this years good showing.

Campaign Cuts Forest Fire Loss.

What might easily have gone down into his
tory as another bad fire year. has become a
period of comparatively slight losses far as
the national forests are concerned. With the
normal fire peril peak" passed in several re-
gions, the cost Of fire suppression on the ma
tional forests has dropped to approximately one
fourth of the daily expense of a month ago.
This year fire fighting costs in the national
forests so far have amounted TO $1,O11, 100,
decrease of more than So per cent from the
comparable period last year. The total expense
for the calendar year 1929 exceeded $3,000,00
The Forest Service has found it necessary to
maintain strong fire guard in many of the 149
national forests. Greater speed has been de-
veloped in dealing with fires. striking result
is shown in the decrease in the number Of fires
which exceeded 10 acres in area burned. The
average fire last year covered 131 acres. The
average has been held this year to 24.4 acres
Property owners, campers and local fire pre-
vention groups have aided greatly in keeping
national forest fire losses down, says the Forest
Service. Additional highways and trails and
motor equipment have helped to speed up the
hour control" or the time necessary to get to
q blaze with adequate men and equipment. Air
planes have been employed in some instances
for quicker communication and for scouting
over mountain ranges in time of high fire
hazard. Commercial flyers in passing over re-
mote fire areas have voluntarily reported to the
Forest Service the discovery Of several fires.

try; work would be found for them by exper-
fenced hands, and in return for that service
they could pay the trust a part Of their earn

To insure this control Giosue pointed to the
terroristic methods Of the Mano Neri and the
Rapitori, secret kidnapping organization from
whose activities came the crime slang express
sion rap" which means to pick up, arrest, take
away. He pointed from one man to another
in the group which met in his bakeshop. and
told them that they, working with their hands,
knives, guns and bombs, could enforce any
edict the trust might promugate. He did not
pay much attention to a small, round-faeed
Sicilian boy who called himself Aphonse
Capone. The lad was a junior member Of a
gang known as the James Street Boys. The
business of this gand was mostly mischief,

1T is not certain that Capone introduced the
word racket" to crime He must have heard
the word when he was a small boy in James
street, New York, for it was here in those
earlier years that the expressions dollar beer
rackets" and dollar chowder rackets" were in
common use. man bought a ticket for a
and ate all he could carry. Much noise and
boisterous merriment of racket (see WebSter)
ensued.
A merchant, knowing the mischief that could
be done by the James Street and other gangs.
willingly bought tickets to their banquets or
balls. Usually he bought them at the exorbi-
invariably a murder or two topped of the eve
ming festivities, which were called gang rack
ets." The money collected from the sale OF
tickets was supposed to be laid away for Spring
and Summer picnics for the gangs AS a mat
ter of fact it went to furnish bail or fall
money and lawyers for gangsters in trouble.
Much noise or racket, mostly shooting and
beer-mug throwing was made at these gang
affairs, and this doubtless is responsible for
the use of the word. The newer meaning of
the worc-"a means Of extorting money under
threat of bodily harm or property destruction"
arises out of the fact that when the threat
is not needed and money is not forthcoming
there is lot of noise, the rattle of machine
guns and the explosion of pineapples on the
doorsteps of persons who refuse to pay the
tribute or who offend the racketeer,

for what's your business?" among persons who
speak the free-and-easy language Of the under
world. And lot Of people speak it.
