CANTOR GET 5
KIDNAP NOTE

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 81 G.N.S0.
The authors of two extortion notes
to Eddie Cantor, film comedian,
one threatening death to his five
daughters, were being sought by
Federal investigators here today.
The first note, authorities re-
vealed, demanded 5000 or else the
five girls, all living with their
father, would be killed. The sec
ond specified a spot where the
money should be left in an old
shoe box.
The investigators followed di-
rections, it was learned, but the
threatenerS were too wary to fall
into the trap set around the
money and it was not collected.
Delivery of the money was made
in Cantor's machine with his
chauffeur at the wheels.

CLOTHES
TRAFFIC IDEA
WINSFAV0R

Judging by the votes in the
balloting being conducted by The
Washington Times, residents Of
the city want vigorous enforce
ment of the traffic laws with plain
clothes policemen on guard to
arrest those who wilfully violate
the rules and regulations.
Thus far in the voting the pre-
ponderance Of sentiment is in
favor of the suggestion Of Law.
renee C. Crawford that plain
clothes policemen be assigned to
traffic duty.
The Times again prints the sim
pie ballot upon which readers may
register their views on this in
teresting suggestion. All that is
necessary in order to vote is to
check the statement representing
your sentiment and mail it or
bring it to the Traffic Editor Of
The Times.
Agree Situation Is Bad
Many of those who have voted
have accompanied their ballots
with letters outlining their feel
ings about the traffic situation in
the National Capital.
Ali seem to agree that it is bad
and while some think that plain
clothes traffic police would aid in
solving the problem, others believe
that such a squad would not ma
terially help.
The principal argument made
against the plain clothes traffic
police is that criminals would i'm
personate the officials, force pri-
vate cars to stop and then COM
NIT robbery.
Argument Answered
This is answered by some pro
ponentS of the plan with the ar
gument that it is not necessary
for robbers to impersonate police
if they want to stop automobiles.
They point to the number of rob
berries which have been perpe-
trated when automobiles have
stopped for red lights" in the
outlying sections of the city.
Everyone still has a chance to
vote on the matter and to make
public his sentiment either for or
against.
The ballot is not at all COM
phcated and it isn't necessary
that you sign your name in sub
hitting YOUR vote.

PREVENTION is ONLY
CURE OF SILIcOSIS

Dust disease may incapacitate its vic
tim, or may ever kill him, in less than
a year from the time he first works in
the dusty place, but in general it takes
a much longer period. It is said that a
person may work in a dusty atmo-
sphere for several years without ap-
parent i'll health yet. suceumb to dust

dusty work, Generally, when a worker
has become afflicted with dust disease,
it has been lat least up to the present.
impossible to cure him so as to com
pletely remove the i'll effects. This is
aptly expressed by a doctor in The
American Stone Trade, August, 1888, as
follows: mo treatment for the cure
of silicosis is known. We can't make
stiff tissue soft again. Prevention is
the only recourse" 1t is said that sick
ness causes at least eight times as
much loss of time by workers as do
industrial accidents, and one of the
most prolific causes of sickness of in
dustrial workers is the breathing Of
dust. Dust disease unquestionably is
the scourge OF the industrial worker Of
today, and this is especially the case
with the metal miner Bureau of
Mines Circular 1857.

The People Can Change the Con.
gress But Only God Can
Change the Supreme Court

The venerable George Norris, author
OF the twenty-first constitutional am
endment, and vigorous fighter for hui
man rights, those things about which
everybody talks nowadays but does lit
tie, on the floor Of the Senate poured
forth his wrath against the highest tri-
bunal in the land.
George Norris is now an old man, In
his late seventies he has seen many
sessions of Congress come and go.
many decisions of the Supreme Court
handed down with the solemnity Of a
circus ringmaster announcing the Jap
anese trio on the high wire.
All of those things for which he
fought, liberalism, decency Of treatment
of men by men, a SAINT world in which
hunger and nakedness is not the result
of too much food and too many pairs
OF pants, he now sees as swept away
by a stodgy group OF six old men and
a supine administration.
"Only Cod can change the Supreme
Court"
The last hope of George Norris, the
man who voted against the United
States entry into the war, the veneer
able fighter for public ownership OF
public utilities, the staunch rock OF real
liberalism in the republican party OF
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, the last
hope is just a prayer.

March 1886.

One of the great farm problems to-
day is rural identification. Hearings
have started on a bill before our com
mittee-Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, providing for an agency to be
known as the Rural Identification
Administration" Under this act the
administrator would be empowered TO
promote identification in rural areas
by making loans, etc.
Mr.. Cooke, present administrator OF
the temporary rehabilitation set-up,
presented some pertinent facts in his
argument before the committee. It is
disheartening to note that America is
backward in this work OF rural electri-
fication. Holland has 100 per cent
rural electrification, Germany, 10 per
cent; Sweden, 50 per cent; Ontario, IS
per cent; while America has only 10
per cent.
Consider the various burdens that
could be lifted from the shoulders Of
the farmer and his wife by electricity.
In view Of the existence of electric
pumps, milking machines, separating
machines, electrically driven saving
machines, sewing machines, washing
machines, electric irons, and innumer-
able similar devices, together with cleo
trio refrigerators, radios, coasters, etc,
which would add to the comfort of the
home, the great good that could be ac-
complished for the farmer, by such
legislation, is inestimable.
OF course, staid Fasteners who
never saw a farm believe the farmer
should be content with the OK team.

Boxing Match Has
Spectacular Elements

Coming out of California, where he
has cleaned up the best in the state,
Young Peter Jackson tangles with
Montana's best, Hubert Dennis Of
Bozeman, on the American Legion card
at the Fox theatre Monday evening,
March 23rd, in what promises to be
the most spectacular fighting event
seen in Butte since the present very
efficient management took hold of the
fighting game in this county. Dennis
and Jackson are both training at the
American Legion hall on West Broad
way. Since Dennis disposed Of Lou
Massey so decisively, he has been ele-
waited to the tenth rung on the ladder
of the worlds lightweights. With the
exception Of Jackson, the whole fight
card is composed of men from Mon
tana.
Dave Cook OF Helena, fights Jimmie
Best Of Billings, in one Of the six
round matches, while Jimmie Kirwan
Of Miles City, fights Spider McCullum
OF Missoula, in the other six-round
event. Then there are two four-round
affairs, composed of Kid McCauley,
who is a student at the State Univer-
sity at Missoula, who meets Smoky
Manning of Bozeman, Dennis spar
ring partner. The opener will see Ii
ger Schmauch Of Bozeman pittde
against Victor Antonette of Abortion.
All OF these boys have had considerable
experience and have proved their merit
to be placed on a card Of this calibre.
Advanced ticket sales at box offices
and cigar stores indicate that the house
will be sold out before the doors open.
