Prison Escapes
Are Much Fewer
Than Last Year
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In Tie SIR Walter Hotel.
Y II = ASKED WHY

Raleigh, March 2S-The number of
prison escapes is continuing to drop
each month in spite of a larger pri-
son population and the coming of
spring, when prisoners usually feel a
greater urge to escape than at any
other time, Acting Director Oscar T.
Pitts, of the prison division of the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission, pointed out today. So far
in March, with only three more DAYS
left in the month, only II prisoners
have escaped. while 81 prisoners who
escaped in this and in previous month
have been captured and returned to
prison, Pitts pointed out. In March.
1885, there were 43 escapes and 48 cap
lures. In February Of this year there
were II escapes and 35 captures, while
in February, 1885, there were 48 es-
capes and At captures.
This decrease in the number Of es-
capes is even still more significant
when it is realized that our average
prison population is now about 8,7CO
prisoners as compared with about T.
500 a year ago." Pitts said.
The decrease in the number of es-
capes is attributed by Pitts to the bet
ter morale among the prisoners re-
sulting from the new recreational pro-
gram instituted by the prison division,
also to the better food and better
housing conditions.

RADIO SET SALES
EXPECTED TO SOAR
Rise of 18 Per Cent From
Year Ago Predicted.
Auto Units Lead.
BY J. G. DONLEY.

special OSpatCn TO Ine Star.
NEW YORK, April 1.-Sales Of radio
sets are expected to show an increase
Of about 18 per cent this year. as COM
pared with last. The biggest relative
gain will probably be in auto radios.
At present there are some 100000
sets installed in private cars, trucks
and buses, and the trade estimates
that 100000 auto radios will be sold
this year, which will mean a so per
cent increase in the number in use, If
all the old ones stay on the job.
The radio industry made distinct
progress in sales last year. There was
IS per cent increase in the number
of all units sold, as compared with
1884. The total volume ran to nearly
100000 sets of all kinds-a quantity
record for all time-having a retail
value of $304. 100000.
Higher Priced Sets Sold.
One OF the most encouraging devel-
opments from sales standpoint was
the larger demand for higher priced
sets. both console and table models.
rose 712 per cent to an average dollar
value of $50.50.
This development Is highly desirable
for the reason that it allows for a
reasonable profit margin for the re-
taller, not only in percentage of gross,
but in actual average dollar profit per
sale. That is important because the
retailer must stand a certain sales and
service expense. In the days of
midget" sets the retailer had to take
on all sorts Of sidelines, which diverted
his main energies from radio.
Tube Sales Increase.
Due partly to the broad demand for
retublng Of old sets. tube sales also in
creased substantially last year. Sales
totaled 75,7ll,309 units, which at the
manufacturers selling prices amounted
to a total of sac 6464,197

During the seven months from Janu-
airy to July, Mr.. Alexander's charts show,
thunderstorm activity has been increas-
ing both in intensity and area covered.
In August there is the first evidence of
disintegration, as shown by the slightly
diminishing number along the Canadian
border The gypsies have felt the first
nipS of frost. The average still is high,
however, over most of the country, but
the Pacific Coast still is almost free.
During September, the charts reveal,
the thunderstorm activity rapidly is di-
minishing over the entire country, eX-
cept for the Pacific Coast, where there
is slight increase The two centers of
activity-the primary over Florida and
the secondary over New Mexico-stlll
persist, but both are weakening rapidly.

has hung so long over Tampa seems to
have dropped south and now is over Key
West. There has been marked slowing

States.
Mr.. Alexanders November chart shows
q still further diminution of thunder
storm activity. The storms now are
relatively rare over the entire country,
the greatest frequency being in the Ohio
and lower Mississippi valleys. The De-
cember chart reveals the storms back in
their Winter quarters. The center OF
greatest activity now is over Northern
Louisiana. The Florida and Southwest
centers have practically disappeared and
the interior sections of the United
States from Georgia to Maine are prac-
tically immune.
The 30-year charts bring out strikingly
the two great centers of activity-the
one over Tampa and the other over
Santa Fee, N. Mex. Tampa has an aver
age of "a thunderstorm days year and
Santa Fe has q. The charts reveal
clearly, however, that no part of the
United States is entirely free of thun-
derstorms.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES z. TRAcEWELL

Jones swiftly looked up at the sign on
the bus from which he had just alighted.
Chevy Chase Lake." it said. He had
caught one of the few through buses.
Turning on his heel, he stepped back
into the vehicle and quietly sat down
In the seat he had just vacated.
ITO think" he said aloud to a sympa-
thetic driver, that worried all the way
up the Avenue about catching the Lake
bus, and I was on it all the time!"
That's the way" said the driver.
n &*
Yes, that's the way, is 1t not?
We worry so often for nothing and
over nothing, and subsequently know 1t,
but the next time we get into a situation
we tend to worry just the same.
Just the same, that Is, If we are of a
worrying nature-and many are.
Worry Is just part of life. That is
the reason no one ought to take it too
seriously.
A little worry never hurt any one,
truly. Effort to obliterate all traces of
1t in the personal life are largely wasted.
A little Is good! And If that little can
be concentrated on trivial things, per-
haps, so much the better.
The catching or not catching of GER
tain bus, for instance, often is nothing
at all, but, as in the Jonesian debacle,
worry about it is entirely wasted.
The philosopher Jones always loved
such little jokes on himself. 1t was fun
nier when he was the participant, the
victim, than if some one else had been
victim and the thing had been told on
this other person as huge joke"
n
He had to admit, however that 1t
constituted as good a specimen of wasted
worry, unnecessary worry, as he had ever
heard of and one that came close to his
heart and bosom.
What it spoke against was not so much
worry as an art and profession with
somel, but worry which is entirely unnec-
essary. 1t is one of the worst points of
general worry that the worrier tends to
push everything into the chosen cate
CORY of things which may be worried over.
While this is done in protection,
as indicated previously, it is question
whether in many cases it is not carried
entirely too far. That is, the effort to
widen the group of worry material goes
on to such an extent that sometimes
almost everything possible is included
in it.
X
This, We may believe, is just little
too much.
There are many small problems in
everyday life about which little thought
is necessary.
When one finds ones self worrying
about them the strong voice of reason
should call a halt promptly
Does it make any difference?" asks
the Voice.
# it does not then give over the
worry and trust in time, the elements
and all the other ingredients of life.
Save the worrying for a time when
worry is necessary as a real part OF a
proper solution.
Remember Templeton Jones. securely
seated all the time on a Lake bus. but
worrying all the time about catching it!

A Prophet With Honor.
Though sounds of strife bring frequen
fear
Across yon narrow sea,
And mighty warriors still draw near
To make men bend the knee;
Though genius still steps in to lead
The great inventive clan,
To give our homage we proceed
Unto the Weather Man.
Though statesmen face rising storm
And calm it with word,
Though wizards of finance perform
And singers sweet are heard,
One modest citizen we hear,
AS changeful skies we scan,
And humbly turn with joy or fear
Unto the Weather Man.
A place in high esteem you'll earn,
Oh, brave, industrious youth,
BY seeking only to discern
And to impart the truth.
There's just one parsonage we know
Whose plain, perpetual plan
Keeps human interest aglow,
And that's the Weather Man.

Venizelos.

No one, it seems, ever thought dis
passionately about Eleutherios Venizelos.
Those who came into contact with him
during his long and consistently colorfuI
career either loved him or hated him.
And that circumstance probably might
be regarded as tribute to the power
that was in him. Similar reactions are
recorded in the cases of Caesar and
Napoleon. They appear to be natural
response to commanding genius, espe-
cially when that genius happens to be
militant in its manifestation.
But 1t is too early to appraise Veni-
Eelos accurately. The best that may be
said Of him just now is tiat-he was an
asset to Greece during period when
she needed such intelligence, such
patriotism and such efficiency as he
had to give No other leader of his time
could have done his work. He inter-
posed his mind and his heart between
his country and both her enemies and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-03-19

her dubious friends. And the human
bulwark was defense enough. Neither
the central powers nor the allies could
overcome his resistance. He was no
body's pawn. nobodys instrument.
Venizelos, however, possessed talent
for taking advantage of attempts to use
him. A skilled negotiator from first to
last, he made an art of bargaining. Thus
he doubled the area of Greece during the
Versailles Conference as recompense for
services rendered" though the men with
whom he dealt on that occasion-Lloyd
George, Clemenceau and Wilson-knew
perfectly well that those services" had
been negative in character.
Vast and detailed acquaintance with
his subject was the explanation of much
of the success Venizelos achieved. His
familiarity with the minutiae of the
history and politics of Southeast Europe
was unsurpassed. Few of his rivals
dared to debate him. If he was not
great administrator during his seven
terms as premier, 1t must have been
because he lacked executive capacity.
To the average American it may appear
that he was. perhaps, too democratic to
be willing to dictate policies necessary
to stability of government in the Balkan
sector. His hand was clever, but not
quite strong enough.
Yet there can be no question about
the debt of gratitude which Greece
owes to the Cretan rebel who was her
man Of destiny" She had from him
all that he was. AS the ages pass in
amending parade the whole world doubt
less will come to remember him as it
remembers Simon Bolivar-a hero who
pledged his soul to human liberty and
progress and was rewarded for the
sacrifice with little but misunderstand-
ing, poverty. pain and death.

ties of that beautiful capital for the
purpose.
In reporting Latin Americas univer-
sal approval of the conference Presi-
dent Roosevelt voices the belief that 1t
will have real results in cementing peace
full relations among the twenty-one
Americas. 1t Is too early to foreshadow
with any definiteness the subjects that
are to receive consideration. Many spe-
cific suggestions have already been sub
mitted and others will be made before
q commonly acceptable program is
agreed upon. That in one form or an
other the general relations Of the United
States with the Latin republics under
the Monroe Doctrine will find place in
the agenda is hardly to be doubted. Dur
ing the past three years the sister Amer
lean nations have had various significant
indications of the United States readi-
ness to give substantial effect to the
good -neighbor" policy. The Marines
have been withdrawn from Haiti.
program Of non-interference in the do
nestle affairs of the Latin states has
been officially proclaimed. The Plat
amendment providing for intervention
in Cuba was abrogated. The recent
treaty with Panama accords due recog-
milton to the sovereignty of that nation
on lines long desired by the iSthmian
republic. Secretary Hulls policy of
reciprocal tariff treaties is steadily be-
ing extended to embrace Latin Ameri-
can states, the latest agreement having
been concluded with Nicaragua.
In light of disturbed conditions in
Europe, with their enduring threat OF
armed conflict, the plans of the nations
of the Western Hemisphere to solidify
the foundations of peace among them
selves assume more than ordinary i'm
portance. They reflect desire on the
part of the New World not to become
embroiled in the controversies and in
trlgueS of Europe and to concentrate
upon the solution of problems and the
promotion of interests which are essen

established inter-American peace struc-
