Disillusioned Youths Return to
Old Home Nest.

st. Louis, Mo.-Throughout the Mid
die West there is steady back-to-the-
farm trek Of youths, who. few years
ago, sought fame and fortune in the
cities, according to Wood Netherland,
president Of the Federal Land bank
here.
Economic conditions have forced
young men and women, who were
drawn by the glamor Of the city and
its high wages, to return to the farm
with sad story to tell the home folks,
Netherland said.
Elderly persons, who were intent on
spending their last years surrounded
by the comforts and conveniences in
cident to city life, have been shorn
of their incomes and have returned to
their former homes.
The present city farm movement is
perhaps the broadcast and most far
reaching in the history of the Middle
West, Netherland believes. The tide,
which for many years had been flow
ing to the city, began ebbing back to
the farm more than year ago, he
said.
Since then, industrial workers, Ell
ther definitely out of employment, or
in prospect of a layoff, have Joined the
trek in constantly increasing number,
records Of the Federal Land bank
show.
Many city people, realizing that
farms may now be purchased for a
fraction of the price asked few years
ago, have gone to the country with
the idea of profiting by the present de-
pressed land prices, he said. More

Says New York Better City
Than in Old Days.

New York.-The jewelry thefts and
pickpocket rackets are slipping in
New York. The old-time penny
weighter, whose trick of Substituting
fake stones for good ones cost jewel
ers many a dollar in the good old
days, has about disappeared. And the
old school of pickpockets, many Of
whom were so proficient that they
were hard to catch, have been sue
ceeded by youthful thieves whose
work is crude and amateurish by COM
lparison.
Bogus checks are the leading
racket these days." according to for
,mer Detective Ernest L. Moore.
"Banks, jewellers and stores are the
victims of this type of confidence
game, and the merchant is the most
defenseless against it, for in most
cases, rather than lose sale, he will
take chance"
Mr.. Moore has just retired from the
police department after 25 years of
service Practically all Of it was spent

Fifth avenue squad, the group of
plain clothes men especially detailed
to the midtown section to guard

RETIRED DETECTIVE
SEES MANY CHANGES

1t was when the Fifth avenue squad
was formed the old veteran crime
chaser said. "For one thing, rs per
cent of the towns jewelry establish
ments are now located in the midtown
area, and the safeguards have been
greatly increased. If you are accus-
toned to thinking Of Maiden lane as
the center of New York's jewelry Sec
ton, you are behind the times, for,
with the exception Of the silversmiths,
most jewelers. have moved up town to
Office suites.
"Then, too, most of the better
known thieves no longer operate here,
for dips and confidence men are
known to the police, who pick them
up on sight. The Baumes act, too,
which sends a fourth felony offender
to prison for life, has no doubt done
much to scare away the pickpockets."
x On Famous Cases.
Moore, who was born in Pennsyl-
vania, Joined the police department
in 1907. and, with the exception of
Two years uuTlIS Tic wal, WHCu hO
served as lieutenant in the navy, he
has been continuously member of
the city's finest.
During his quarter Of century in
the detective division he has worked
on many famous cases, but lifetime
of keeping his own counsel makes it
difficult to get him to reminisce. He
is slender, quiet looking individual,
whom you'd take at first sight for q
conservative business man. But one
look from his penetrating blue eyes
and you understand why crimp was
put in the crime racket during the
years he operated on Fifth avenue be-
tween Forty-fourth and Forty eighth
streets.
Moore was chief arresting officer
when the Gondorf brothers, Charles
and Fred, who were called the wire
tapping kings for their swindling op-
erations, were started to Sing Sing.
With this arrest the hunco syndi-
cate that embraced the United States,
Canada, and England was broken up.

Hunt Lost Currency
Buried Half Century

Fayette, Mich.-Summer In the up
per peninsula of Michigan has again
revived talk Of renewing search for
the buried wealth amassed by AL
phonse Bellanguette, on the outskirts
Of Fayette, more than fifty years ago.,
Bellanguette, French Canadian,
came here in 1872 when Fayette was
in it's prime. He saw opportunity in
the fact that the sale of liquor was
prohibited in the town and set up a
saloon on the beach, two miles away.
He prospered and did not believe
in banks. His wife discovered that he
had buried much of his fortune, but
she could not find the hiding place.
Regularly since then searchers have
sought in vain for the treasure.

Ancient Game Unearthed
at Ur of the Chaldees

London. - Archaeological finds of
great interest at Ur of the Chaldees
have been reported here by G. Leon
ard Woolley Of the British museum
University Of Pennsylvania joint expe-
dition.
One object dug up was a broken
carved stone, part Of a gaming board
suitable for the playing of a game
similar to Snakes and ladders" in
which dice are used and which long
, has been popular in England. The
game, Woolley thinks, continued in use
for thousands Of years after it's inven-
ton. The find was made in a build
ing dating from the Fourth cen.
fury B. G.
Less than two feet beneath the pres
emit surface Of the ground at Ur the
party found a small bowl of polished
soapstone decorated with five bulls
carved In relief. The excavators be-
lieve that the bowl must have been at
least 30 feet beneath the old surface.
1t dates from about 24OO B. G. when
stone carving had reached its most ad-
vanced stage. Each bull has over it's
back an ear Of barley, symbolizing the
agricultural wealth Of Mesopotamia.
The bowl is the finest piece of carving
yet secured at Ur and will be exhib-
tied with the gaming board here.
Woolley, who is accompanied by his
wife, will return to Or in the autumn.
He has previously dug up tangible evil
dence Of the existence of the Babylo-
MAN cities and is in search Of more
treasures for the expedition.

vention week this fall.
Monthly drills in each school are
conducted with the presumption
that the building actually is on fire.
One stairway is blocked during each
drill. Any school in the city can be
evacuated in less than three min
utes, Lynch said.
Children are told of fire hazards,
including bad fiues and pipes, hot
ashes in irlfammable containers
and Accommodations of trash.
They are given first aid instiuc-
ton, told how to extinguish burning
clothing, how to get out Of burning
buildings, how to pass through
smoke, warned against panic in
theaters and against the danger OF
turning in false alarms.
The department in 1881 made
94,501 inspections, issuing lO,SO6
cleanup orders, of which BOTS were
complied with, Lynch reported.
The department recently installed
a bell fire-drill system in the Little
Sisters of the Poor home. Similar
systems are to be installed in all

N. " in urging the President to
nominate Chief Judge Cordozo Of
New York, pleaded that geograph-
ical considerations be disregarded.
He and others contend that Cor
dozo's appointment would not be
regarded as sectional, even though
Justices Hughes and Stone also are
from New York. Despite this, SEN
ators believe the President feels that
he should pick a jurist from the
middle west, or the far west.
The movement in behalf of Walsh,
therefore, has gathered momentum.
At the same time speculation con-
corning Newton D. Baker, former
war secretary, has increased.
Baker was discussed, it is believed,
at a conference late yesterday be-
tween President Hoover and Post
master-GeneraI Walter F. Brown,
who is preparing formally to launch
Hoover's candidacy for reelection.
Both Baker and Walsh easily
could be confirmed by the senate.
Walsh probably would be con-
f1rmed unanimously and without
reference to the judiciary commit
tee Of which he is member. He
has served continuously in the SEN
ate for nineteen years.
Regarded as a Jeffersonian Demo-
crat, Walsh also has the reputation
of being the most relentless prose-
cutor in the senate. 1t was under
his direction that the Teapot Dome

SENATORS HEAR
. MRS. CARANAY

Generally she sits demurely at
her Senate desk, reading CORE
spondence, listening to debates
such as her husband used to en-
liven, or working crossword
puzzles-but yesterday Mrs. Hattie
w. Caraway CD, Arkansas, made
her maiden speech" in the upper
chamber.
The only woman Senator who
ever served more than one day.
(Mrs. Rebecca Latimer FELTON,, of
Georgia, having had a 24-hour
tenure in the Senate some years
ago. did not speak long. The
late Senator Thad Caraway, whom
she succeeded in December, was
wont to regale the Senate with
his eloquence and satire for hours
at a time.
Mrs. Caraway read into the
record a telegram from an
Arkansas farmer urging abolition
of the Federal Farm Board. 1t
said in substance:
II see you fellows are plan
ming to help us. For goodness
sake let us alone and do away
with what you have already
dOne."
Mrs. Caraway added:
81 also want to say that
when my husband was in office
he voted against the farm
board in the first place."
Then, after several senators had
come over to shake her hand,
Mrs. Caraway sat down and re-
Sumed the even tenor of her
