jail to get me out.
And they told her wasn't in, and she same
to the shop and when I saw her walked out
with my arms open and she walked in them
and it was an hour I guess before we got around
to explaining, and everything is jake again.
But when We did get started to explaining,
then told her everything. And being as we
were in the shop took her around and showed
her just how had taken that old Vardon down
and made it over into real automobile, and
she made me explain it all to her, and by the
time got through could she was pretty
proud of my ability. Because it is not every
mechanic who could do job like did.
And then I asked Jane how she liked the
shop anyhow and if she didn't think it would
be nice to be half owner of it, and she wanted
to know what meant and 1 told her how I
had been buying into it so long, and how
that was why it had looked as if had not been
putting anything by to get married on.

Star, when he died.
Quetzalcoatl is represented in many guises in
ancient chronicles for he had many jobs on
earth. In one guise he was fair god" with
blue eyes and light hair. He was variousy
explained by Christian conquerors who heard
this tale.
Some said he was Norseman drifted by
chance to the Mexican coast where he gained
renown and power, but the strongest version,
and one held for many generations after the
Conquest. was that Quetzalcoatl was really
st. Thomas, who had wandered into the
American wilderness, and became a god in
Mexican legend.
The temples that were later built to him
were round because God of the Air. his
most important job, ne must have them round
One Mexican colonial historian says that their
shape was round because air circulateS
around ALL so the temple Of the Air God had
to manifest his qualities.

So Jane said that was just marvellous, and
then she started in to explain her side of it.
And it seems she only went with Brennan to
get me mad would we could be
married. and wasn't she tickled when she found
how I saving. AS for the she said it
was much too big and fine for her, and she
would be afraid to drive it, but it would be
very comfortable for a wedding trip.
And so we are going to Canada in it for a
month when the boss comes back, and since
there are always lot of expenses such a
trip and have to borrow the money for the
trip from Jane fall down my notes, we
could use the $50 if you feel the facts have
supplied are worth same.

ought to be perfectly safe.
But anyway, there 1 was in court, and had

So that's the way things stand at present.
I am back on the job and working as usual,

Now MIR. Editor, it may seem funny to you
that have to write these facts 10 you in order

away looking over a new line of cars and will
1T be back until August and due to my notes
and what I have spent in rebuilding the car
have not even paid my board bill for two weeks,
and the boys in my crowd, Of whom have not

hope, SO can give Jane the car for her birth

TEAR Mr.. Editor,
- Dear Sir:
You see by my wire that do not really need
the SO any more. the reason being as follows:
1t seems that Mr.. Brennan not James
financey, suspected, but after he arrested
he went and proposed, thinking it a good
time. And when she turned him down. saying
she had found out she still liked me better, he
was kind of sore and said that was the way with
girls nowadays who fell for fellows without a
cent who couldn't even raise $50 to pay fine.
And then he wouldn't tell her anything more,
but she knew he meant me and she thought
must be in Jail perhaps, and she went to the

THE CRIME PROBLEM
Wickersham Commission Recon-
mends That Criminal Justice
be Put on a Scientific Basis

The first report of the Wickersham
crime commission since it's recommended
lions regarding prohibition was given to
President Hoover few days ago. The
report says that the country does not
know the real extent of it's crime problem
because it's statistics on the subject are
unsystematic, often inaccurate, and more
often incompetent.
statistics are needed to tell us, or at
least to help tell u.s. what we have to do,
how we are going to do it, and how far
what we are doing responds to what we
have to do" the report stated.
Taking for its text the conclusion that
accurate criminal data is the beginning of
wisdom in treating the problem, the COM
mission set forth the following specific
recommendations in order:
Decentralization of statistics on fed
eral administration of justice in one bu-
reau of the department of justice.
(2)-Collection of nationwide crime
statistics by the census bureau as soon as
proper state legislation has gone far
enough to lay a sound foundation.
Determination meantime of the de-
velopn1ent Of statistics in census, justice
and labor departments, preparing for con-
solidation.
GA uniform state law for gathering
and transmitting state statistics of GRIM
inal justice, SO far as required for national
purposes. Drawing of this statute should
be committed to the national conference
of commissioners on uniform state laws.
(5)-Greater care in collecting Stats
tics under the present methods until the
new set-up is prepared.
What is most needed is that all organi-
cations and agencies interested in putting
American criminal justice upon more
scientific basis" the commission stated,
unite in a program for accurate nation
wide criminal statistics, and seek to fur
Their that program in each locality by op-
posing legislation which would embarrass
or retard it and holding back projects for
committing further fragments of the
whole subject to other federal bureaus and
thus adding to the existing confusion"

at full speed for Tarcaia where he gaS
the alarm. There was now no time By
lose and a company of 100 policemen was
sent TO the village. Before each of the iron
gates above mentioned two or three men
were stationed. A shot was fired by the
moonshiners' police as a signal that the
conflict was to begin The state police
rushed to the attack and succeeded in en-
tering thirty-two houses in every one of
which feverish activity was in progress
Enormous quantities of spirits were being
disposed of, stills were found concealed
under straw or in outhouses, everywhere
the premises were reeking of spirits. AS
result Of this raid twenty-five stills were
confiScated, ten of which were in full
activity.
1t has been calculated that the Tarcaia
moonshiners had been defrauding the
treasury every year to the amount of SO
million lei monetary unit of Roumania
equivalent to little over half cent?.
STILL IN EVERY HOME
An important Bucarest paper stated
that though thirty moonShiners had been
discovered in Tarcaia their number was
really 800 for in every house in the vii
lage Illicit distilling was carried on.
Otherwise how could one explain the fact
that in each dwelling enormous watts, I'M
mistakably for use in the manufacture of
spirits, were to be found?
All these occurrences took place not in
the United States but in country which
enjoys practically complete freedom as
regards the manufacture and sale of al
coholic beverages, except that the state
desires to share in the profits of the trade
by imposing some duties. The next time
our press cries out against what it de-
scribes as the American scandals let it

an address in Des Moines, Iowa, in which
address he denounced prohibition and
urged its repeal. In dinner address to

quoted as saying:
you were gaining the markets of the
world for California wines. There were no
better people in the world, no more in

folks than your vineyardists. How do you

THE WHOLE TOWN WENT
INTO BOOTLEGGING GAME

When our newspapers in Europe and
other parts of the world outside the
United States of America publish reports
on Illicit spirits distilling, everyone eX-
poets that the scene of these unlawful
proceedings will be set in the United
States. for we have been taught to believe
that only in that country, as a conse-
quence of her "deplorable' prohibition law,
do serious violations of the liquor legisla-
ton take place Tt is generally supposed
that in prohibition countries the nq-
uor laws are as a rule respected and even
when an open violation is committed and
detected it is treated as a matter of ma
tional or even local concern and the news
is not Immediately spread all over the
world as is the case when the same Of
fence is discovered in America. Accord
ingly, no European paper, so far as we are
aware, related what happened a few
weeks ago in the village of Tarcaia in the
Roumanian province of Bukovina which
formerly belonged to Hungary.

A THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED
TRAFFIC

It appears that for over twenty years in
habitantS of Tarcaia had been practicing
Illicit distilling without having provoked
an intervention of the authorities, of the
treasury quite especially which derives a
considerable proportion of its revenues
from the alcohol duties. This traffic was
organized on most thorough lines. The
entrances to all the houses were defended
by heavy iron gates three metres high and
the houses themselves were constructed
like veritable fortreSSeS into which no
treasury officers Ventured to penetrate.
The villagers were fully armed possessing
over 100 guns and even one macine gun.
But their most powerful weapon was COR
ruption of subordinate fiscal agents and
the police to whom they gave substantial
brides. They had also a secret police or
ganization of their own which was able to
warn them of impending danger.
The existence of this stronghold of
moonshiners was well known even to
many of the authorities but no one dared
to interfere with them. However an in
spector of finance who has been lately
appointed in Bucarest is a man of adj
venturous spirit whom the prospect OF a
pitched battle with the moonshiners of
Tarcaia by no means dismayed. He de-
cided that thorough perquisition was to
be carried out in the village by his agents.
A committee of investigation was formed
which along with the chief of police in
the neighboring city of Oradea Mare
drew up plan of campaign.
SUPPOSE THIS HAD HAPPENED
In AMERICA
While the representatives OF the law
were taking counsel the Tarcaia people on
their side were not inactive One of their
spy agents was sent to Oradea Mare to
discover what was going on at the state
police headquarters. He aroused some sus-
picion and was arrested but colleague
