BUREAU CLEARS
NOAH CROOKS

Charges of irregular conduct
preferred by individuals against
Noah Crooks, collector of internal
revenue for the Missouri district,
stationed at Kansas City, nave
been dismissed by the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue, it was an
nounced yesterday.
The written accusations against
Crooks, sent to the bureau some
time ago, were deemed too slight
and flimsy for any extended in
quiry by officials, it was said.
For that reason, it was said that
rumors that the collectors resig-
nation will be asked, ors that he
will be ousted, are entirely with
out foundation.
The nature of the charges
against the collector officials de-
clined to disclose, but they said
the matter was a "closed Incl
dent" unless additional data
should be sent to them.

Hot Coffee Is Called

ATLANTIC CITY, May 2.
The effects Of coffee on the di-

John A. Killian, Of New York,
in an address before the Amer1-

ton at its thirty-fourth annual
convention here. He said:
"HOt, freshIy-made coffee,
provided It is drunk at the con-
clusiOn of q meal, is Of material
assistance in the digestion Of
food. Such coffee contains GER
tain valuable aromatic sub
stances that produce q strong
secretion Of the gastric juices,
which in turn stimulates food
digestion.
"On the other hand, cold
coffee, or that which has been
warmed over, concentrates acids
in the stomach that interfere
with proper Digestion"

Belle Livingstone to Direct
Campaign from Reno Salon
After Tour of All States

NEW YORK, May Mile.
Belle Livingstone, prison pallor
still heavy upon her, preached a
crusade against prohibition yester-
day and announced plans for a
motor tour of the nation to culmi-
nate in Reno, where she will open
q salon that will make that city
"the Paris of the New World" I"
In her spare moments-if any
she will get divorce and expose
racketeers.
It was while she was in prison
for 80 days "a slight and purely
technical misunderstanding be-
tween her and the Federal Gov
ernment on whether liquor was
sold in her SALON. that the reve-
lation came to Miss Livingstone
like dream from beyond. There
was work to do in the hinter-
lands; the U. S. A. needed her.
It was extremely convenient
that the dream dictated she
should leave New York, for there
is that embarrassing matter Of
a Federal injunction forbidding
her to drink or urge others to
do likewise in the Southern dis
trict of this State.
Knee-deep in newspaper clip
pings, a bandeau of brown tulle
holding her golden locks impris-
oned, she announced her itinerary:
prohibition is a wOrm-a
giant worm gnawing away the
artistic life of America. There
Is yet time to save the cOun-
try, to purge the United States
and bring light and gayety
where only darkness is.
Rochester, yes, believe
Rochester will be the first stop.
After that Cleveland, st. Louis,
Kansas City, Topeka, EmpOria,
Denver and then-RenO. I
have been urged to open a
salon in Reno.
"There has even been some
talk that Jack Dempsey might
be interested in becoming part
ner in the enterprise, but that
Is still vague"
But there is nothing vague about
her crusade against that unholy
group called racketeers-"the men
who own this country"
It will be called with Living
stone Through Darkest America" ."
q chronicle of her struggle with
what she considers the forces OF
darkness, a pitileSs spotlight OF
publicity on the nefarious ways of
men who try to keep cultured
women from making an honest
living in the night club business
She believes Kansas-"where
IN my girlhood I lolled under sun
flowers'-is a particularly fertile
field for her evangelism. And
that matter of a divorce? Yes
one really should get a divorce
so long as one is in Reno. The
charges? What does it matter,
o divorce is a divorce.
Her current husbands name?
Ah-ah, now let's see just what is
his name!

CITIZENS TO BLAME

WHILE most Of Us will agree in general
W with the findings Of the WickerSham
commission on the inefficiency of Amer
lean police, fairness compels the admiS-
sion that It IS an unjust indictment
against many competent and sincere DO
licemen and officials
And much Of the blame for the inef-
ficiency reported by the commission, must
be placed upon the head Of one who will
not accept il, but who. after all Is really
responsble-John j. Citizen himself.
If citizens want good government, good
police departments and good municipal
operation of their cities and its various
departments, they can get II. Il they
prefer TO remain Indifferent. or limit
their activities in civic matters 10 tear
ing down instead Of helping to build up
they have none but Themselves to blame,
if graft, inefficiency and worse. prevail.
No police official, be he q patrolman
pacing his beat, or a hlgher-up. IN an eN-
ecutive capacity. can accomplish any
thing against crime If his efforts are con-
tinually counteracted by influential cit
liens and politicians.
The WickerSham report strikes at the
root of all police evils when It declares
that reform is needed in our present sys-
tenn of choosing a chief of police. When
we turn the police head out with every
change of administration, we can expect
nothing but what we are getting-ineffi-
cheney and corruptness. No man would
stand for such periodical upheavals in
his private business. Yet the man who
would object to this procedure in bust
ness, stands for it in municipal affairs.
and then wonders why conditions are as
the commission found them.
Politicians have succeeded IN making
the police inefficient. The Wickersham re-
port of itself is not going to make them
better. That Job is not for the police to
assume. 1t is bit of work that the citi-
zens themselves must do. They have been
shown the way for Improvement and It
rests with them whether they will accept
it or remain as they have been hereto

telling us that Thomas A. Edison never
will be really out of danger again.
The collapse Of the IS year old inyon-
tor is construed as the beginning Of the
end fer lifetime Of activity and service.
Edison is considered wealthy man,
but he is not as near wealthy as he might
have been from the results Of his work.
His service to mankind cannot be eSti-
mated in dollars and cents, and for that
matter it is hard to place value upon
il in any terms.
He holds an unique place in the affoc-
tons of the American people and his ad-
mirers in other countries are numbered
by the millions. All will hope that the
doctors may be wrong and that the
"grandest old man OF them all, may yer
be able to resume his work Ii this should
not occur, the world will be The loser. 1t

Hays of the FL Centro Chamber OF
ness cycle for Ell Centre and the
Imperial Valley during the fall and
winter months. This is based up
on the exceptionally large number

inquiries are not coming from the
itinerant field workers or the day

desirous of renting houses or

terially to the general prosperity
here. Among the structures planned
are the United Artists Theater, the
Pacific Greyhound Terminal Sta
tion. the United States Federal
Building, and new plants for the

are contemplated, but the interest
ed parties are not yet ready To
