Nineteen is the dangerous age on
Americans crime chart.
Analysis of a months records of
the Justice Department Division
of Investigation showed more ar
rests of 19-year-old youths than
of any other age group. =
Out of 1907 arrests for serious
ofenses reported to the divisions
f~ngerprint bureau by state and To-
cal police, 1875 were boys of 10.
The figures told coldly the neces-
sity of ~centering crime prevention
work among youths in the 'teeen
ages. 1t is then that the Dillingers
make their start on the road of
lawlessness.
Starting with "a arrests of per-
sons under IS, the months arrests
mounted arapidly at first by age
groups: 122 at IS, 496 at IL, 842
at II, 1904 at 10. Above 10, the
average held fairly steady at be-
teewn 1900 and 1900 until age
IS, when a gradual decrease begins.
There were more arrests among
1~9-year-olds than any other age
for robbery, burglary, larceny,
theft and rape. The 1s-year-olds
led in automobile thefts.
In homicides, the more hardened
criminals of p led with % muir

Consideration

The Lexington Dispatch says:
Encouragement for the effort
to have Highway 10 widened be-
tween Thomasville and the Yadkin
River as a measure of public safety
is found in a letter received Satur-
day by Major Wade H. Phillips
from Chairman E. B. Jeffress of the
state highway commission, in which
the proposed project is described as
"this needed job"
"All ALLEGATIONS for Federal mon
'ey for the fiscal year 1934-35 have
not yet been made and the chair
man assures that the widening of
this road is receiving serious con-
sideration.
"In his letter to Major Phillips,
Chairman Jeffress said:
"Our board is considering this
matter in connection with the pres
ent and the next two-year program
and will endeavor to work it in at
as early a date as practicable.
I'VE have not completed the al
location of funds and | am sure we
want to make just as early a start
on tbs needed job as we can"

This state had reduced its cot
ton crop during the past few years
about 40 per cent, particularly as
a result of Governor Gardner
ive-at-home campaign, and had
turned to food and feed crops.
Some slight reduction was also
made in the tobacco and peanut
crops, before the AAA reductions
were made.
At this time the tobacco and
cotton crops are excellent, gener-
ally, and but for an unexpected
trick of fate, the fields set to these
crops will produce abundantly. Re-
ports are that cotton is expected
to be much below the figures per-
mitted under the AAA, and this is
expected to benefit this state mat
erially, as the crop is good, proba-
bly, more than the AAA permits,
and the entire crop may be sold at
the expected high prices, rather

TONERS are sending questionnaires

N. {. Crops Fifth Best In Union
Corn Crop
Very Good
Apple Crop Exception To
High Standard Fore
cast For The State

Ralelgh.-North Carolina was
outranked only BY five states on
August l in the general conditions
of its crops, the report issued by
the statistical division of the state
department of agriculture revealed.
The indicated yields on 81 i'm
portant crops, expressed as percent
age OF the last l0-year average
yield, showed the state ranking
just slightly behind South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Arizona in
average crop conditions.
The apple crop was the only ex-
ception to the generally high stand
ard that prevailed, and the 45 per
cent condition August l, Is per
cent below that. date a year ago,
was attributed to- heavy damage by
late winter freezes.
Corn, tobacco, hay, peanuts and
peaches led the way at this stage
in importance and condition.
The corn crop was considered
very good' in the report. Pros
poets in the eastern and mountain
counties were rated as excellent
with the drier season handicapping
the situation in the piedmont. The
50 per cent condition was seven
points higher than the past 10
year average.
A corn yield of 4s,o4S,ooo bush
els was indicated, or s per cent
more than the harvest in 1885 and
IS per cent above the last hve-year
average. Excessive July rainfall
was favorable.
THE appearance of the tobacco
crop was most promising the re-
port stared1he@stands genera
ally were excellent, but July wealth
er was somewhat unfavorable for
development in weight. The quail
ty of the leaf was uniform, charac-
terized by excellent growth, high
color and light weight"
The total tobacco crop indicated
at 39S,650,oOO pounds was II per
cent lighter than in 1888, while
the condition was regarded as 76
per cent of normal.
A 29,OO0-ton hay crop was in
dicated with the 80 per cent con-
dition II per cent higher than last
August.
sThe weather has been unusual
" favorable for hay crops, espe-
cially in the coastal and mountain
counties. Pasturage conditions have
been good" the report stated.
ssThe peanut condition was re-
ported generally as good in the
commercial areas with stands aver
age or better. Weather conditions
were favorable and the percentage
was rs per cent of normal.
"The peach crop was consider
ably above the average. The "a
per cent condition indicated a pro-
duction of 2,21o,0oo bushels, or a
10 per cent larger crop than the
last fve-year average. Prices were
regarded as satisfactory" the report
set forth.

Money Will. Be
Ready In NC.
In Two Weeks

Loans to- North Carolina home
owners for repairing and moderniz-
ing their homes will be available
within the next two weeks, Theo-
dore Sumner, housing administrator
for North Carolina, announced.
Interviewed at his hotel room
after al all-day conference at the
office of the housing commission,
Summer said headquarters for the
new organization will be establish
ed at Asheville the last of this week,
and he is confident banks would be-
gin making loans to hohne owners
before the month is out.
Sumner said his office force
would start with a small personnel
but will be enlarged as needed. Lat
er, when the mortgage refnancing
and mortgage insurance sections of
the bill are put into operation,
branch offices will probably be
established over the state, but all
will operate under direction of the
Asheville office. Summer said when
he returns he will name an assistant
and a technical advisor, who will
be a banker. He will also appoint
several stenographers, and this will
make up his office force.
Summer was careful to point out
that there is to be no red tape in
the granting of loans for remodern-
ization of home. Millions will
reach the state, and sI sincerely
believe the housing bill will mean
more to the home owners, laborers
m the building trade and the in
dustry as a whole than anything
which has been done since the new
administration took office"
Explaining the operation of Sec
ton l of the housing bill, which
is now attracting the main atten-
ton of the housing commission,
Sumner said:
IF a home owner desires to re-
pair or remodel his home and is
reliable, all he has to do is to 20 to

can borrow from 500 to $4,000
depending on his income and the
amount of work he wants to do.
The bank makes the necessary in
vestigation and handles the trans
action. No borrower will be charg-
ed more than IS a year for each
hundred dollars he borrows. The
loan can run from one to three
years.
Asked if he thought the bank
ers of North Carolina would CO.
operate, Sumner said he was sure
they would. "There is no risk for
them to rum" he declared. s'The
government guarantees 20 per cent
of the aggregate amount lent by a
bank, not 20 per cent of each loan
as some have been led to believe.
Statistics show hat the average loss
on this type of loan is only three
per cent. In addition to this, an
arrangement is made whereby a
bank can convert its loans for home
repairing into cash if necessary.
This makes the loans liquid"

Here Is My Heart
Gay Musical Film

Here Is My Heart" gay musical
comedy with Bing Crosby and Kitty

theater Christmas Day, Wednesday
and Thursday.
The film features several song num-
bers. In one of them, Crosby sings
his own recording, and ITS June in

ences are most likely to remember.
Locales Of the story are the mid
Atlantic, prologue sequence, and a
Partisan hotel, and the time is the
present. With the story told in an
episode fashion, comedy dominates,
in characters and situations, popped
up sometimes by sparkling comedy
and made topical by solo music. In
the finale, suspense IS given an odd
twist.
J. Paul Jones, chasing the rainbow
of boynood ambitions, hits the trail
Of q pair Of ancient Admiral John
Paul Jones pistols which he would
present to the U. S. Naval Academy.
The trail leads him to a queer series
OF romantic love interest situations
with an impoverished but proud Rus

hectic toll with her nutty retinue,
Nicholas, the Countess and Vladimir.
TO be near his love light, Jones
purchases hotel and establishes him.

exciting fun ensuing, his grooming
plays funny tricks with the austere
Alexaudra'S heart. Eventually she
finds out who he actually is and be-
lieves that his love making Is only an
American way to come into possession
Of the pistols. The others, however,
consider him gift from the gods,
through whom, even though he puts
them to detested work, they can at
least eat and sleep in security.
