Caught redhanded-almost!

Caught redhanded- almost!
Working with bleeding hands, a
thief was discovered in the bitter
cold early today filching jewelry
from the display window of Sell
inger's, S1S F st. N. W., through
a small hole he had gashed.
A scout car, summoned by a
burglar alarm, dashed up to the
curb as the man fled. The police
men chased him into an alley, but
he eluded them.
Two watches, valued at $75,
were stolen by the man. Police be.
lieve he used a piece Of twisted
wire to. pull them through the
small aperture. They said a guam
tity of blood streamed down the
small, Jagged sides of the hole.

COUNTY TO GET
$177,000 FUND
IF 0 R HIGHWAYS
$l46,000 is Earmarked
For '38 Spending

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. Z.
More than $177,000 will be avail
able for construction and main
tenance Of lateral highways and
debt service in Montgomery
county during the 1937.193S fiscal
year, according to a letter received
from DR.. Homer E. Tabler, chair
man Of the Maryland State Roads

This total amount, according to
County Commissioner Paul M.
Coughlan, consists Of contem-
plated revenue from the lateral
gasoline road tax fund for the
year, $S3,584; balance left over
from the 1936-1937 fiscal year.
$50, 1866, and $31,S55 consisting of
Federal appropriations and res
toration from Stata bonds.
$146,OOO EARMARKED
OF this amount approximately
$146,000 has already been ear
marked for maintenance Of lateral
roads and for debt service on
county road obligations. The re.
naming approximate $4,000 will
be used for construction of new
lateral roads. Couglan said.
DR.. Tabler asked the coopera-
ton of the commissioners in pre-
pairing plans and specifications
for county lateral road construc-
ton during the coming year which
would utilize the $4,000 item.
CAN'T EXPLAIN LOSS
Commissioner COughlan n de-
clared today that he is at loss to
explain the nearly $4,000 reduc-
ton in the county's gasoline tax
allotment for September as com.
pared to the previous month Of
August. He said that a letter re-
questing an explanation Of this
was forwarded to the State Roads
Commission today.
According to Coughlan's figures
during August, 1896, the county
received as its share Of the gas tax
$11,998. In September of that year
it dropped to $11,742. But in Au-
gust of this year the county re-
ceived $16,144, but in September
it only received $1,941 as its share
Of this fund.

William Herbert, 65, who was at
tackled with a hammer by a col
ored man as he sat in his grocery
store at 724 F st. s. w. yesterday.

struck her husband. She screamed
as he sought to rifle Mr.. Herbert's
pockets. The man lunged at her,
missed, and fled, she said. The

THE MINNEAPOLIS NOCTURNAL

Minneapolis.-Iron gray or gun
metal flannel used for suits and
dresses is one of the fashions that
has been established by the London
spring openings. Worn with scarlet
accessories it makes dashing out
fit also worn with white or regi-
mental blue. Another fashion in.
dorsed by the London openings is
the use of red fox as trim for
coats and costume suits.
That it is going to be another
jacket year is good news for all of
us. Jackets make one dress look
like several. Wear a white flannel
or piquet jacket with your dark
sheer wool or silk, making your
one dress appear a whole ward
robe. It is a fashionable idea as
well as a practical one.
Speaking of these little jackets
you will want to know just how
they are styled. There are variety
of silihouttes that are in vogue this
season, so we will take them one
at time. There is one definite rule
for shoulders. They are accented
but not stiff in appearance or ex-
aggerated. Sleeves are short and
puffed, elbow length and square or
full length and trim. Waistlines are
not pinched, but they are small and
moulded and many of them are
higher than ever. At the lowest
they are at the normal line. Yoked
and shirred backs are excellent for
jackets. The double breasted fash
ion Is giving away to the one but
ton style. Strictly tailored jackets
that are snugly belted are very
good as are waist length jackets of
the surplus type. The length varies.
It's high is the waistline and its low
the hip. That which Is more becom-
ing is that which is right for you.
The bigger" coat is something
that will please the young and the
not so young. 1t gives added swank
to the youthful figure and it hides
the not so youthful. The digger" is

The tactics of John L. Lewis, la
Dor boss, whose Committee for In

present General Motors strike. will
meet with little favor in most run
al communities. Not that 1t mat
ters to Mr.. Lewis what the small
towns and the country districts
think, so long as the battle grounds
remain in the industrial centers.
But suppose he builds up "a labor
political party such as exists in
France and England. Many OBJ
servers think that is his ambition.
In that case rural America could
and quite probably would squash
his designs.
1t is not that farmers and small
town folks are averse to fair treat
ment for labor in the industrial
centers. But they ask themselves
whether labor is not demanding
more than it's due. And the labor
disturbances encouraged by Mr..
Lewis and other gentlemen Of his
stripe are becoming serious enough
TO constitute a threat to business
recovery. Most people have had
enough depression. Anything that
keeps it with us doesn't please
them. Labor may have to fight for
its rights, but not, please, while
the patient Is still in such critical
condition.
But most of all it is Mr.. Lewis
high branded attitude of a labor
dictator and his distinctly commun.
istic utterances that have brought
him condemnation. His statement

Is This A Free Country?
Sometimes we have our doubts,
and the strike in the automobile
industry has somewhat fortified us
in our misgivings. Here we have a
situation where a substantial ma
jority of the workers affected are
satisfied with their present condi-
tions and are willing, nay anxious,
to continue to work under them.
However, a labor leader in Wash
ington has decreed that they can
not work until the leaders of the
automobile industry have arrived
at a satisfactory agreement with
him and his organization. His terms
are that hereafter all negotiations
effecting the workers must be car
ried on with him and that the To-
cal workers shall have little or
nothing to say in the premises. His
aim is one big Union that will en-
brace all workers in all industries
which, of course, would make him
the supreme dictator Of American
labor and industry.
The Pioneer Journal believes in
organization for labor; it has long
advocated collective bargaining,
good pay, reasonable hours and
wholesome working conditions, but
when it comes to setting up a SUI

hold upon 127 million people, that
is something that no red blooded
American will tolerate for one

City Sportsmen Offer Aid

Recently Jimmy Robinson, outdoor fish and nunt-
ing expert of the Minneapolis Star, took the stand
that the city hunters did very little to help the small
town sportsmens clubs in the matter Of feeding small
birds He stated that all the city hunter thinks about
is his limit and that he does not realize that the
pheasants must be protected and fed in the severe
winter months. He formed a Downtown Outdoor
Sportsmens Club, with dues set at s1OO annually,
every cent of which is to go to game wardens and
small town sportsmens clubs. City hunters took to
the plan and it is going like wildfire The club
has over 1000 members and donations of feed and
cash have been sent to eighty different sportsmens
clubs in the state. The motto of the club Isl Feed
the birds and not the spotsmen 1t is true that dur
ing the past the task of keeping the pheasants and
other game birds alive during the winter has been
borne by the farmers and small town sportsmen. This
effort of the city sportsmen is audabe 1t is stated
that if the birds in this section need feed local sport

Only A Few
We have observed that most of
the community enterprises which
are projected with success here in
Holdingford are handled by a
small group of enthusiastic, public
spirited, loyal workers. A large pro-
portion of our citizens prefer to re-
main on the side-lines. Many of
them offer only words of carping
criticism.
They are quick to detect mis-
takes made by those who try to do
something. They are slow to offer
helping hand. They have no UNI
derstanding of the real meaning of
cooperation.
And yet notable things are ac-
complished. Year after year new
enterprises are started, and many
of these efforts meet with success.
If it were not for this small group
of community minded citizens upon
whom one can depend, we wonder
what progress would be made here.
All we can offer these loyal,
pubic spirited citizens at the pres
ent time is a word of encourage
ment and an acknowledgment of
the important part they play in the
life of the community. They must
derive their satisfaction from the
knowledge that they belong to the
class of people who keep the wheels
of this world turning.
