Malicious Destruction of Private Property Must
 Stop Say Police

Police have opened a campaign against youths in the Brooklyn seetion who have been terrorizing residents and pedestrians by shoot ing air rifles both at persons and at property. A policeman has been assigned to special rowing duty in that section to check the annoy ance.
 Patroiman John Donahue, last night arrested Anthony Barra, IT, of SIS Bank street. on a charge of wilful destruction of private prop erty, but the lad was discharged in city court to-day when he claimed that the gun found in his possession did not work. He was warned by Judge McGrath to in- form his companions to stop the practice.
 Windows Tn homes and factories in the Brooklyn section have been shatetred by air rifle shooters and several complaints to headquarters have resulted in the detailing of an officer to special duty. Other persons have reported that shots from air rifles have narrowly missed their eyes and faces.

 HEARS MIRA TALK
John H. Goss Explains Chief Distractions to
 Recovery Plan
EAST END


 Before one of the largest group Of members of the Mill Plain Mems club, John H. Goss, vice. president of the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, last night discussed the value of the MIRA. Two classes of people have injured the development of the MIRA. The first class is com- posed of the selfish and greedy, who are always seeking to get ahead in the world at the expense of the rest of the world. The other group are those that show a lack of understanding for the MIRA.
 MT. Cess clearly emphasized that one of the worthwhile fea- lures of the MIRA was that it elim- mated all the bad boys" of the industry, who would go to the ex- treme means of cutthroat compe- tition. One of the members asked if the MIRA was merely meant to be a temporary measure. The speaker said 1t was at first, but now that it has acquired some val ue it should be able to continue.
 Following the address, entertain ment was offered by the Green Mountain Boy, Victor Gould, who sang several selections. Others that entertained were the Lone some Valley Trio, composed of Fred Troske, Robert Hill and George Gould.
 MT. Goss was introduced by Rev Joseph Todd. Bruno Riefe presid- ed.
