BANK ROBBERS
K|DNAP FOUR

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, March %
CI.N.S.).-Police of Illinois and
Southern Wisconsin were search
ing today for three thugs who kid
naped two men and two women in
q wild flight after an attempt to
rob the bank of MauSton, Wis,
ended in gunplay and failure.
Authorities were unable to learn
the fate Of the two couples whose
large green sedan the robbers
Communicated a few miles north
Of GAINESVILLE, Wis. They were the
last of several hostages taken and
released as the gunmen changed
automobiles four times during the
125-mile flight.
In the belief the robbers were
headed for Chicago all roads be
tween here and Chicago were
guarded by armed police patrols.
With guns drawn, two Of the
bandits dashed into the MauSton
bank yesterday while the third re-
manned in the automobile. Cashier
Russell Hale opened fire with a
rifle and was shot in the shoulder.
The robbers dropped their loot
and fled.
Four miles from Mauston their
car broke down and they seized
the auto of Mr.: and Mrs. A. c.
Woodcock, forcing the couple to
accompany them until they
crashed into a truck trailer.
Next the bandits seized the auto
mobile of Mrs. Frank Condor OF
Bradhead, Wis. They later
abandoned his car and took the
auto of Ed Shea and Miss Aimee
Winrich. Near GAINESVILLE the car
failed and the bandits then halted
the green sedan.

ture, which was included last
year, is no longer demanded. OF
course the 1872" overture is
branded by many as being some
what barbaric and oppressive to
a finely attuned musical ear.
Yet it never fails to thrill the
average audience.
Possibly DR.. Kinder may give
this thrilling work during the
summer series and perhaps it
may be possible to give it in a
big way with real cannons firing
and everything. In any case it
is quite certain the service bands
will use it or in case this fails
to materialize, Goldman will be
sure to use it on the radio.
The Magic Flute" overture
was written by Mozart for the
opera Of the same name. The
slow introduction opens with
three loud solemn chords, said
to have special Masonic signifi-
canoe.
A brisk theme is given out by
the strings, and developed as q
fugue, and succeeding themes are
tossed back and forth between
oboe and flute. MoZart's skill,
deftness and ingenuity are no.

vantage than in this spontaneous

Richard Roiderer, naturalized
American who has been held in

The lottery scheme also gains measure of sup

abounded in this country? Lotteries may have been

SMALL BUSINESS MAN PRESENTS A
PROBLEM
CBv BRUCE CATTON)


The new NRA bill hangs fire in Congress
while the lawmakers try to figure out the
best way of taking the brakes OFT OF ouSl-
ness recovery without putting any further
obstacles in the way of the small business
man. And while their arguments NIL the
air, it is interesting to get the point OF view
on one of these much-discussed small bust
ness men. What is his slant on recovery,
anyhow?
There came to this desk the other day a
letter from the owner of modest shoe re-
pair shop in Hornell, n. Y. He raises a
point which illustrates one of the most diff
ficult angles of the whole tangle.
I'm 1926-my peak year" he writes, Il
had gross sales volufe of S5,913.6O. In
1934-the same number of sales through
the cash register-and gross volume OF
business of S1,668.6O: the outcome of try
ing to meet the chain shops price dicta-
tion No profit, and in the red.
NATURALLY, l cannot buy as heavily or
for future needs. | cannot make the neces-
sary improvements in my home or new ad-
ditions to the shop, Why? Because a chain
grocery advertised soles and heels at eight
cents pair. To meet that form of compe-
tition l would have to work man for
nothing give my savings to the wholesaler
and donate my services free of charge
Then they wonder why we have hard times
and a depression!"
ut should be understood, of course, that
the chain store was selling merely the soleS
and heels, and was not attaching them to
the customers shoes for that price,
In trying to think your way out of a
dilemma like this, you come up against one
! of the most vexing contradictions OF the
day; the conflict between the consumers
desire for cheap retail prices which the
economies of big business units make pos
sible, on the one hand, and the necessity
for preserving one of the fundamental fea-
lures of the American landscape - the
small shop in which the individual worker
or retailer can find Independence.
As consumers, we look for the lowest
price levels available. If big corporation
offers us commodities at price which the
individual merchant cannot meet, we rush
to the bargain counter and snap them up
ct few of us care to picture an America
IN which the industrious and ambitious
man can no longer branch, out for himself
and establish little business of his own
That freedom of opportunity is one of oul
most priced national assets.
Somehow we have got to find way tc
harmonic this difficulty A return to pros
per1ty which squeezed out, the small bust
ness man would cost more than it was
worth. Whatever the answer may be-anG
1t must be admitted that it isn't in sight
just otfhand - the pressure on units like
this Hornell shoe repair shop must bc
lessened.
