HAIR TONIC "JAGS"
INCREASE ARRESTS
July Drunkenness Record Traced
to Pan-Handlers-30
"Speeders" Booked.

United States park police yesterday
attributed the continued large num-
ber Of arrests for drunkenness, as
shown by the July records, to the
comparative ease with which pan
handlers can obtain hair-tonic sub
stitues for legalized liquor.
During the month, 159 arrests were
made in the parks of persons charged
with intoxication, an increase of 20
over the arrests in June,
Thirty arrests for speeding" an
increase of more than 100 per cent,
resulted as a result of stricter en-
forcement of traffic regulations to
eliminate unnecessary deaths and ac-
cidents. Only one motorist, however,
was charged with reckless driving
Arrests for minor traffic regulations
totaled 116
Despite the precautions taken, Al
automobile accidents we're reported
during the month, which accounted in
large measure to the fact that 81
persons were sent to their homes or
hospitals because of injuries and sick
ness.
Seven lost children also were in
cluded among the statistical records
of the parks last month.
The total number of park arrests
was AIS as against 358 for the pre-
ceding month. but the July record
was only one arrest higher than dur
ing July of 1884. Other arrests in
cluded disorderly conduct, Al; viola
ton of park regulations, AZ; assault.
6; petit larceny. 5; violation Of police
regulations, 6; investigation. 9; mental
observation, 2: concealed weapons. 2.

DEALING WITH THE sLUM

Uncle Sam is trying to clear up
slum in Washington. One woman
who owned property in that slum
stuck our common uncle for $14,6oo,
and he paid. Immediately eight other
holders of property in the same slum
gave notice Of their intention to con-
test the matter in the eourts-un-
less they get their price. If they do
not get their price, there will be much
delay; and if they do not, the gov
eminent will be gypped for 50 much
delay; and if they do not, the govern
ment viii be gypped for 50 much
money that really low-cost housing
on the site will be out of the question
England handles things differently.
In England, the authorities, after
hearings, declare a given area to be
a slum. The moment that declaration
is made, all improvements on the
land lose value, except for salvage.
The government wrecks the buildings
there. If the salvage sells for more
than the cost Of wrecking, the owner
gets a check; if it sells for less than
that cost, he gets bill for the differ
ence. The land is then valued for its
worth as a site for low-eost housing
no speculating as to future booms.
That is why England IS making
such progress in building, which most
students say has been the mainstay
in lifting that country out Of the de-
preston.

Before getting worried over these
outcries, consider the following items
from one days news:
Government securities went up
throughout the list, and II issues
reached higher prices than ever be-
fore.
The treasury offered $1O0,000,000 of
bonds bearing 27s per cent interest
and maturing in 1960-,25 years hence.
Investors offered $5l1 100000.
Only IA banks suspended in the first
six months of 1885. Figures for half
years back of the present year are
not available; but 81 banks suspended
in 1884.
Steel output gained II per cent in
one week.
General Motors is expected to pay
an extra dividend in August.
In the light of these business and
financial facts, all the outcry and at
tempt to raise a scare are merely
silly. Just one thing is holding back
recovery. Big business still refuses
to give labor a square deal, and the
government has not yet been able
to force big business to act fairly
though much progress has been made
in that direction.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
f0undly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

War hovers over Europe.
Mussolini's troops march back and
forth.
Ethiopia's troops march through
the capital and on toward the from
tier.
In both countries flags are waved.
Stocks in European-Fr French and
English-munitions factories go
soaring upward.
Belfast looks for new linen mar
kets.
Copper, tin, steel, everywhere, look
for new profits.
Non-war commodities which Italy
customarily sells abroad, will be large
ly blocked out of usual markets and
other nations will rush in.
Florida looks for new markets for
citrus, with Italian fruits shunted
cut Of old channels.
So it goes. War rumors and pre-
parations, reverberate around the
world. War itself will reverberate
much more loudly.
What crazy way for world called
civilized!
America is set against war as never
before "It's none of our business"
is more a national slogan now than
in any previous conflict.
But don't let that fact produce any
false sense of security.
The cold fact is that America
COULD be orawn into such a war
as might grow out of Africa.
Up to this time the world hates
war much more in the abstract than
in the concrete, strange as that may
sound
Given the combination of circum-
stances and the national outlook could
be changed and those that don't think
so still haven't learned what propa-
ganda can do.
If there ever was a rotten cause it
was the utility cause. And yet, they
had their battle just about won, until
they over played their hand Nothing
on earth but propaganda did that.
1t was propaganda intended to teach
the idea that each person had some
kind Of a stake on the utility side.
Some will think the comparison IS
MT good. There may be better ones,
but it's a good example just the same.
The point is that propaganda, skill
fully handled, can CHANGE PUBLIC
IOPINION and othing more is needed
to induce willingness to war.
Moreover, most Americans are not
convinced that ALL wars are heinous.
There ARE things for which most
Americans would fight, even if they
knew full well the mortality rate that
would follow
Because of that very fact it would
be somewhat easier to foment fool
ish war spirit. That seems strange,
too, but it is a simplefaet.
There is no good in drawing fine
bow on the question. There is no
good in facing things that are not
facts. There is good only in facing
facts.
One fact to start with is that Musso-
lini is celebrating war for purely
selfish reasons.

Overtime" is the name manufac-
turers give to the expansion of ice
cream that comes with freezing. Gov
ernment specifications limit the over

eight companies in st. Paul ranged
from SO to 55 per cent.
Government specifications also per-

Of the St Paul ice cream revealed
bacteria as high as 950,o00.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS


Foreign observers who are amazed
at the financial legerdemain which en-
ables Germany to spend billions of
marks on its new war machine while
it pleads poverty as an excuse for
its reputation of foreign debts have
finally discovered the secret of this
paradox in the fact that the chief
source of financing the huge re-
armament program has been the saw
ings made possible to industry by the
tremendous curtailment of wages,
says the Economic Bulletin, official
organ of the Non-Sectarian Anti Nazi
League to Champion Human Rights.
An analysis Of official German stat
istics reveals that never anywhere in
the world has a period of such mar
kedly increasing business activity
mostly in the heavy industries, metals,
rubber, chemicals, building and cleo
trical supplies which are military es-
sentials been accompanied by 50
drastic a reduction in wage scales.
In 1884 wages decreased between %
and As per cent. At the same time
living costs rose between 2 and 5 per
cent. In other words, there was a
reduction in the purchasing power Of
wage ealners by at least 80 per cent.
In 1888 the total income Of all in
come groups in Germany below 5000
marks a year $4,000 announced to
2oooo,00o marks, or GA per cent Of the
national income The total income Of
the groups between 5000 and 5000
marks year was G,oo0,ooo,ooo marks
or IA per cent Of the national income
in 1888.
This means that a decrease in wages
Of 80 per cent for the first group and
Of 20 per cent for the second group
enabled German industry to save in
wages and salaries 1o,2o0,0oo,oo0
marks, almost one-quarter Of the ma
tional income.
At least half Of this sum has been
reinvested in the armament indus
try for official statistics show that
the new investments made possible
by wage reductions were not put into
the consumption goods industries
which are facing a crisis because Of
the severe curtailment of the purchas-
ing power Of labor

Bach this year.

Gates the importance of the celebra-
ton:
This is a Bach year. We pay
our humble tribute to the greatest
of all musical genises. He is the
very foundation upon which rests
all modern music. His lifetime fell
into period of transition, a time
when the old contrapuntal, irni-
tative style in music had almost CIV
en- way to the new hormonic style
of outspoken tonality"
The orchestra will play Bach's
prelude and fugue in D minor; the
violin concerto in A minor, with
Miss Mary Ann Kullmer as solo,
list, and the Suite No. in D major;
