Hold-up Defense Perfected
ONE upstate county in New york

ONE upstate county in New York
State, disturbed by a bank hold
up in a neighboring county. has
worked out system of defense against
bank bandits, which is expected to
make it almost impossible for q sue
cessful hold-up and getaway.
Under the plan developed by the
State police in that particular area,
the volunteer fire departments are to
be called into action along with all
law officers in case of hold-up.
The bank robbed notifies the local
fire department through special
alarm and signal system. Immediate
ly every road out of the town is COW
cred and all other fire departments in
the area also are notified. Within a
few minutes every road and every
bridge for many miles around would
be covered with officers ready at most
intersections to stop all suspicious
cars. The firemen would not be called
into action to make arrests, but would
take posts as observers, obtaining
license numbers and descriptions of
suspected cars, which would be re-
ported to local police, who, in turn,
would get the word out to the waiting
posses at important intersections. 1t
is believed that no bank robbers could
successfully hold up bank in this
particular county and get away with
the loot.
In the robbery which led IN tn the
formulating of this plan, all the rob-
bers were caught, three being killed
in fights with police.

MOst-Traveled Road.

ROUTE II, out of New York City
~ north to the lake region in Sulli-
van County, N. Y, is probably the
most heavily Travelled highway in the
country. Large numbers of New York
residents, intent upon reaching the
lake region in the Catskill Mountains,
use this highway, and most of the
drivers go along fast and furiously,
with the result that fatalities are
many.
AS an Illustration of the heaviness
of the traffic, a traffic officer in Mid
dletown, N. Y, taking count as cars
passed him almost bumper to bumper,
declared that 800 cars passed in half
an hour.
Local people tell one story the We

one Middletown citizen, entering the
lower end of the city was caught in
this traffic line and couldn't get out

WASHINGTON-Unreve except in dry
government publications. compilations now are
available which show the extent to which some
industries have stepped ahead of pre-depression
employment and the extent to which others
still lag far behind
Comparing May, 1886, with May, 1929, it is
obvious that most industries are not employing
as many persons they were seven years ago
when We were supposed to be enjoying boom
prosperity But quite few industries have as
large or larger payrolls than they ever had
before.
In some cases you can deduce changes in
American tastes and habits and in others SIM
ply the fact that certain industries are tagging
behind in the current pickup. And then there's
the factor varying from one industry 10 an
other of archaeological employment, which occurs
sometimes where an industry is producing at
1929 rate with perhaps 25 or 80 per cent fewer
employees.
The beverage industry, of course is employ
ing far more persons than il did in 1929 because
of prohibition repeal. But try and figure some
of these out: Other industries where employ
ment is five per cent or more greater tnan IN
1929 include soap, rayon wirework, stamped and
enameled wear, clocks and watches, chemlcais,
leather and beet sugar.
There's a much longer list of industries
whose employment is 25 per cent or more below
1929 levels. Chief among these are candy, loco
motives, tools, pottery textile machinery, rubber
boots and Shoes cement. structural ana orna-
mental work furniture, jewery cigars and Gig
arettes aluminium goods. lighting equipment.
electrical machinery, electric railroad repair
shops, tires and inner tubes. silverware and
plated ware, bolts, nuts and washers, iron and
steel forgings, hardware, aawmills, millinery,
brick and the marble, granite and slate industry.
Somewhat fewer industries at just about
the same level of employment as in 1929.
These include stoves, shipbuildng, radios
and monographs, shirts and collars mems
clothing women's clothing, glass, baking, paper
and pulp, knit goods, paints and varnisheS en-
gnes and turbines and tractors, cash registers,
paper boxes, petroleum refining, rubber goods
except tires and shoes-and, of all things as
you might say, corsets!
The automobile industry is in the group en-
ployng from to Is per cent fewer workers than
in May, 1929
Also in this group are typewriterS, newspa-
pers and periodicals, boots and shoes, blast furn-
aces and rolling mills flour, tinware, WOODEN
and worsted goods, cotton goods, drug prepara-
tin fertilizer, slaughterng and meat packing,
aircraft and cutlery.
The ice cream industry is one of those indus
tries in the group employing from 10 to % per
cent fewer workers than in 1929. Others are
carpets, sugar refining electric and steel cars,
hats chewing and smoking tobacco, butter smell
ing and refining, explosives, foundries and ma
chine shops brass and bronze and copper prod
ucts, book and job printing and farm imple-
ments.
There seem to be no figures which would
indicate how the numbers of persons on relief
from given industries would dovetail with the
above figures.

THE POWER C0MPANY'S
OBJECTIVE

Not long ago we declared that, in our
estimation, the purpose of the Southern
Slerras Power company's appliance CAM
palgn was not so much to make appli-
ances available to more people, as it was
To tle-up consumers who might go over
TO the district at the first opportunity.
In the Sierras Service Bulletin. Off
clal pamphlet of the company, we find
this contention confirmed in a few SEN
ences. In story headed PREVENT
DISTRICT FROM SECURING AS
MUCH AS PLANNED", here are two
sentences which are especially reveal
ing. The first reads:
"The intensive merchandising cam
paign, together with other arrangements,
has tied up the company with long term
contracts about 40 per cent of the busi-
ness in Brawey.'
The other says "The merchandising
campaign has tied up large percentage
of the company's customers on long-term
contracts in sections of the valley"
This, it would seem, officially lets the
cat out of the bag.

Other Editors Say
CITIZENS SOAKED, ALIENS EXEMPT
(Tulare Advance Register)

One of the numerous ways in which aliens
have been given an unjustifiable advantage
over American citizens is seen in the federal
income tax laws particularly with relation to
investments and purchase of securities.
Foreigners pay nothing under present laws
on capital gains and profits in stocks in
vestments-while the American citizen is heavi-
" soaked"
Not SO in England There the government
secures nearly 25 per cent of such gains by
foreign capital in taxes. And it doesn't even
take chance collecting it from the indivi-
dual Corporations and firms are required to
pay the tax direct to the British treasury and
dividends, profits, etc.. to foreign investors.
IN the interests of fair play to American citi
zens and in insuring larger tax yields so
sought after by the government of the United
States federal tax laws should be altered at the
earliest opportunity to correct this glarng
sight and end another unjust instance of pref
erential treatment afforded aliens.

Informal Cases in
Probation Office
Demand Most Time

Informal cases, those which never
reach the courts, are. the ones which
take up most of his time, E. A.
Nance, probation officer, declared
in commenting on recent cases
which have taken him to all parts of
the county. =
"We believe that in cases of first
offenses, it is unnecessary to take
the juveniles into court. Often an
investigation of causes leading up
to delinquency a talking over affairs
with the individuals, pointing out to
them the dangers and the future OF
their actions, is sufficient, to put
them on the right course, saving
them from a court appearance
In illustration he pointed out that
the first of this month in one day he
was called on seven cases in Braw-
ley where a gang of juveniles be-
tween 16 and 18 years of age be-
came involved in a series of de-
structive escapades which ended in
three fires. The cases were not tax
en- to court but were settled inform
ally as they were first offenses and
as in number of instances the in
dividuals did not realize the serious
nature of their activities.

FIRE-THE ARCH ENEMY

Last Sunday night a cOnfIagration gut
ted the fine building of the Imperial
Ice and Development company. No one
can gaze upon the damage done, the de-
stroyed equipment and gaping walls
without sympathizing with losers in a
battle with such a subversive enemy as
fire. Fire represents nothing construc-
tive 1t merely destroys. 1t does not
help in building upon the foundation of
the old, confining its force to stopping
the wheels of man-made institutions
and wreaking havoc upon the things that
man has created To lose in competi-
ion against constructive competitor is
one thing. To lose in battle with de-
structionist fire, is something else.

Lucius Beebe calls Webb the high
gloss of "the plover egg and Yquem
set" in that Cutlery mosaic of So
cial marquetry in Sutton and
Beekman places. In many ways,
Webb is the towns outstanding
dude. No other gallant has his
flair for setting off clothes. There
is certain "do" to the set of his
pleated pants, his white tie ends,
the tails of his kirtle, and hat tilt.
To tailor, haberdash or boot him
is to be made" and experts vie for
the distinction. He lives with his
mother, his constant companion
everywhere, in a West 57th street
apartment that is something of a
honey in bizarre decor.
And perversely here's the case of
Harlem's sepia darling of the
Paris boulevards, Josephine Baker.
She failed to reflect her boulevard
glory in a return to New York
after a long absence. Her Winter
Garden appearance last season
evoked not even mild huzzah from
critics. And her plushy night club
adventure later was "a flop. Miss
Baker is in a highbrown pout
over her chilly reception and in
tends to bundle up her doll rags
and, with her waxed-mustached
italian count, sail back to Paree
and never darken-no pun intend
ed-our shores again. Many an
gagements await over, there.
Fred Astair, they are whisper

make fabulous cleanup finan-

hearty applause. Too, he likes
New York and has a special fond
ness for London which received him
as an Omaha hoofer and elevated
him to international stardom.
Not even in the boom days has
New York been SO flower con-
scious. And flowers and all floral
decorations were. never so low
priced. In a thousand and one
building crevices the tiny shops
bloom, aside from such expansive
salons as Irene Hayes, Max
