ROSICRUCIANS WILL OPEN PLANETARIUM
Star of East Same Today as It Was Long Gen.
 turies Ago

Modern science now adds realism to the Biblical story of the Three Wise Men and the sacred Star of the East. The new Rosicrucian Plane tarium, being rushed to completion in San Jose, California, the fourth in the United tSates, will reveal astronomically the heavens as they were at the time of Christ. The ap- paratus being installed will project mechanically in the huge fifty-foot dome the positions of the stars, plan- cts and cancellations as they were more than twenty centuries ago.
 Materialistic astronomers contend, that the Biblical phenomenon was due to the rising of heliacal star Heliacal stars are only periodically visible, and derive their names from the fact that they rise or set near the sun. Helical stars of centuries previous are now discernible regular ly in other areas of the heavens. The astronomical protector of this unique planetarium will make possible a probable Identification of the Star of the East. The lecturer, 1t is said. will manipulate the movement of the planets, sun and moon by key board operation similar to the man. ual of modern organ.
 In a communication received from the Grand Lodge of the Rosi- crucian Order, by Walter J. Racicot FRO, district representative Of AN1ORC, it is stated that in addition to demonstrating the Copernican theory of cosmology now generally accepted by science, the ancient geo. centric and Ptolemaic theories of the structure of the universe will be ex- hibited. The planetarium itself is of Arabic architecture, with large central dome and minarets, and will be officially dedicated on July l4th on the occasion of the annual con- vention of the AMORC Rosicrucian Ordxr. The new addition ts the gast growing group of l1.ildings oi AMORC at San Jose. California will harmonize with the Egyptian

KANSAS PATROL
 WARS ON CRIME
Director Wins Praise for Capture of Alvin
 Karpis

Topeka, Kas. (U.P)--Col. Wint Smith, director of the Kansas State Highway Patrol, is called the y. Edgar Hoover" of Kansas because of the important role his patrol played in the recent capture of Alvin Karpis.
 Although Kansas troopers did not participate in the actual capture Of the public enemy at New Orleans they laid the groundwork which en- abled government agents to make the arrest.
 Smith uncovered the first iinpor- tant Karpis lead at the trial last January of Tommy Hill in Inde- pendence, Kans. When two sus- picious strangers walked into the courtroom Smith directed trooper to have their pictures taken. The two were Grover (BurrheadD Ready and John Brock, Tulsa, Okla, gamblers.
 Important Lead Uncovered
 Postal inspectors from Toledo. O., came to Kansas shortly afterwaru seeking clues on the Garrettsville. O., railway mail robbery Nov. ', 1885, in which $46,000 was taken, and learned that Brock was a par ticipant. Brock confessed that Kar- pis, Harry Campbell and Fred Hunter aided in the robbery and that Karpis divided his time between Toledo and Hot Springs, Ark.
 Karpis and Campbell were want ed by Kansas officials. Karpis for merly lived in Topeka, where his crime activities began with tire thefts.
 Smith, 42, follows the example of the head G Man in that he IS 8 lawyer. Smith was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1920 and Yale University law school in 1922.
 Smith took a dozen members Of the highway commission corp of in- spectors and several officers from the corporation and vehicle commissions. He added several college graduates and on July 1, 1883. the Kansas State Highway Patrol numbered 90 mem bers.

Patience Of Local
 Authorities Wanes
 As Complaints Grow
Nominal Fee to Be Charged for Purpose of Organizing, Supervising Youngsters Charges Made That
 Lads Are Becoming Too Impertinent

An accumulation of complaintc from several sources concerning the city's small army of "shine boys culminated today in an announce rnent by authorities that plans were under way to issue licenses for the youngsters. The cost of the license will be nominal, it was explained but the institution of Q license sys- tenn will enable police to keep a close check on the activities of the boys and make 1t possible to trace incorrigibles.
 Superintendent of Police William J. Roach said Miss Kathleen Crow ley, juvenile court probation officer, had called his attention to the sit- uation, and that he had in addi- ticn received numerous complaints from property owners, pedestrians and car owners,
 Patronage Affected
 He said property owners com- plained that the boys congregated in doorways, soliciting the patron age not only of passersby but of per- sons going in and out of front en- frances. Gar owners, according tc the superintendent, have com plained that the youngsters are far too persistent in their attempts to promote a ''dust-off" job and that when refused, they often become abusive.
 Store owners recently have re- ported petty thefts traceable to the boys Superintendent Roach said He added that the proposed licenses would cost only a small sum which would be used to defray the expense of making a metal numbered badge which each boy would be required to wear. Each youngster licensed would be registered at police head quarters so that he could be easily identified from the number on his badge.
 Ordinance Likely
 It is probable that the proposed license system will be preached al the next meeting of the board oi aldermen and put into the form oi a city ordinance.
 According to Miss Crowley, whc has long advocated the adoption oi some such system, the conditions will be further aggravated with the release of school children for the summer vacation. "Not all of the boys are of the type causing the complaints but 1t is unfortunately true that there are many trouble some youngsters among them," she said. In her last annual report, sub mitted earlier this year, Miss Crow ley called attention to the rapid growth of abuses among the youngsters and urged that actior be taken.
 Aggressive Lads
 Last year public attention wal focused upon the youngsters witt a police campaign to drive them away from the Green where they were particularly numerous. As protest against the police action, the boys elected an official spokesman who indited letters to Miss Crowley and City Court Judges John F. Mo- Grath and Edward Mascolo, asking that leniency be shown, and prom ising that a union" would be formed with definite regulations en- forced among members. Many oi the current complaints come from the vicinity of the Green, where the boys are said to be more numerous than ever and unpleasantly aggres- sive.
