ILLUSION:

Illusion:
A large packing case is exhibited on a raised plat
form. A young woman climbs into the box. Head,
hands and feet %protfude, and are held by specta-
tors while the magician takes a crosscut saw and,
with the help of an assistant, saws through the
center of the box and apparently through the wo-
man.
EXPLANATIONS:
There are many explanations for this illusion. One
method of performing this illusion requires the
presence of tzvo girls in the box. One girl curls up
in the left half of the box with her head and hands
protruding, giving the effect you see illustrated
above. The other girl is doubled up in the right
half of the box, with only her feet showing. Nobody
is sawed in half.

New York.-In a $45 robbery a

them, as one of the thieves COM
Wandered it in a chase that ca

Both thieves were captured and,
within a dozen hours, indicted for

Patrolman George Gerhard sur
prised the thieves as they fled from
a cordial shop holdup. Before he
could draw his pistol, they shot
him to death. Six bullets plugged
his body.
One robber, who gave his name

sion, and a plan of reorganization,
including a proposal to modify
rights of creditors and stockholders,
may be submitted, even if the car
rier holds it can not meet matur-
ing obligations.
To Appoint Trustees
The court may appoint a panel
of standing trustees, to be directed
by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission in the management of the
line during the proceedings. The
commission will supervise the reor-
ganization plan after hearing credi-
tors and stockholders, or plans
they propose. No plan of reorgan-
ization can be finally approved by
the commission until 1T has been
accepted in writing by two-thirds
the creditors or by two-thirds
of the stockholders.
The commission then will GER
tify the reorganization plan to the
court, and no plan can be approved
that has not been certified by this
government agency, but, if it de-
clines to certify a plan, it must
file its decision with the court.
Confirmation of the plan will
discharge the debtor from its debts
except as provided in the plan. No
court or trustees can change the
wages or working conditions of
employees except in the manner
prescribed by the railroad labor
act, and yellow dog" contracts
are barred. Low fees are fixed in
all cases.

Gives Relief
To Railroads
And Farmers
Individnab Also To Benefit; Pro-
rides For Compromise of Debts
In Gases OF Insolvency

The LaGuardia bankruptcy bill
is designed to permit individual,
farmer and railroad debtors to COM
promise their obligations with Gre
ditors without resorting to expen-
sive bankruptcy proceedings.
For individuals, this briefly, is
how it works:
individuals may file voluntary
petition with the federal courts. Sc
cured and unsecured creditors will
be Informed, and a custodian of
property will be appointed by the
court after inventory is taken.
Creditors will be called to meet to
consider terms of composition or
extension of debts. Secured debts
can not be impaired. The court
then will confirm or reject a pro-
Posal agreed upon by a majority Of
the creditors. Claims must be free
of usury. If fraud is shown within
SIX months, the court may rein
state the case.
For farmers:
Upon application of IS farmers
in a given area, the court may ap-
point a qualified Cancellation com
missioner, and for five years after
enactment of the legislation indi-
vidual farmers may file petitions.
Creditors To Meet
1.-The property of a petitioner will
be inventoried and secured, and I'M
secured creditors will be called to
meet to consider a compromise of
extension proposals by the farmer.
A majority Of the creditors may
approve a compromise and ask for
confirmation by the court. The
proposal will be confirmed if the
court is satisfied it includes equit-
able and feasible liquidation for
secured creditors and financial re-
Mobilization of the farmer.
The court may either dismiss the
proceedings after confirmation or
hold the farmer under its jurisdic-
ton, with the right to reopen the
case if fraud is shown.
For railroads:
Any railroad corporation may
file a petition of insolvency with
the federal court, a copy to go to

Scrip Is Used By Cities Of The South

City issued scrip money, develop
ment of mans age-old custom of
~bartering goods for services, has
come into extensive use in many
southern cities, having in some in
stances attained a greater turnov-r
than cash.
In addition, the practice of ex-
changing services for shelter and
food has grown up In localities
where formal scrip has not been
issued.
The city of Knoxville, Tenn. has
been issuing $4,000 worth Of
scrip monthly to meet payrolls,
and additional amounts to pay for
city supplies. Of this, slightly more
than $1,o0o,0O0 issued since June
IA, 1882, half has been turned in
as payment of taxes.
Virtually all Knoxville business
firms accept the scrip at par value
and pass it on to employees. Mer-
chants say its use has stimulated
trade and that it has reached a
greater turnover than cash.
The City of Atlanta issued
100000 worth of paper just be-
fore Christmas to pay November
salaries of city employees. Merchants
c%ooperated in receiving the scrip
in payment for goods and banks
credited depositors with cash to
the papers par value.
In Alabama the scrip is used ex-
tensively in several cities and
towns. The Selma city council au-
thorized issuance of $4,000 worth
of the paper and Roanoke has $500
in city scrip in circulation. Dothan,
Ala, uses city scrip of 81 donomi-
nation to pay for relief of the city"s

The Township of Stuntz is
again in the limelight as the
result of an examination by the
state public examiner. E. j.
Pearlove, state comptroller,
made a report in which he
states that 100000 illegal ex-
penditures were made by the
township in the years from
1927 to 1881. He makes a
long list of illegal expenditures
for the township among which
is an item of $162,086.95 for
unauthorized salaries. These
reports seem to spring up every
time the legislature meets and
are considered as counter
irritants to some kind of a bill
or another. However, we will
say that it is rather cold day
when the Township of Stuntz,
the Village of Hibbing or the
Sixth Commissioner district
does not furnish something
sensational for the legislature
to gloat and gloss over.

Almost twice as many bills have been
offered in the legislature of 1888 thus
far as were offered at the same point
in the session two years ago. The
number of petty proposals to spare the
taxpayer of fifty cents or a dollar is
almost countless, and the number of
proposals to plunge into all sorts of
social experiments is appalling So
trifling is a great part of these bills,
so reckless is another portion, and so
contradictory are most of them, that

distribute the money gratis for relief.
These measures not only break down
safeguards which have been deemed
inviolate, but the probable effect would
be to set up huge, statewide dole in
Minnesota.
With bills by the hundred to cut con-
done or wipe out entirely, tax receipts,
where is the money to come from to
pay for these things?
Let's Stop Spending
One sure relief, and probably the only
sure relief, is to stop spendings. The
people knw it; they have cut $50
100000 from the tax bill in two years:
lawmakers should learn the lesson.
Nothing in the way of relief is sure
except that which actually lifts some Of
the load off the taxpayers back.

and the appropriations committee Of the
house are vigorously welding the axe
on appropriations. They called upon

so vigorously that savings of $4,000 900
over two years ago are fairly certain.
1t hurts; but it is the one thing that
will help.

tons committee was shown when it

the lowest brackets from any cut what
ever was defeated, % to S.
Progressing Backward
Practically without consideration, up
on the flimsy excuse that nothing was
offered as a substitute, four bills to
wipe out boards and commissions whose
activities are fairly open to question,
were summarily rejected by the civil

This committee has been hailed as the
"only progressive committee" of the

is it, in these times, to refuse even to
consider pruning away government
