Another Rat Killing
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Clnclnnat1 EnQulrer)
 The end came for Al Brady and his gang Of deS- peradoes it has to most of the nations lat ter day public enemies in whitening burst of gunflre leveled upon them by crime fighters who regard vicious criminals rats and deal with them as they would rats.
 Responsible for at least three murders, and count less lesser crimes the Brady gang deserved no more consideration than shown them by operatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local police of Bangor, Maine It might have been possible to apprehend the gangsters without gunfire just as it might have been possible to have saved the late John Dllinger for the electric chair but no blame can be directed at the government men and police for declining to take any unnecessary risk with crm inals whose lives were proper forfeit upon sight.
 Rather than being bameworthy, the by now noted policy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to any show of criminal resistance with gum fire is wholesome deterrent to gangsterism. It has ended the in which gangsters could hope for cushioned treatment by police and could nurture their courage in the knowledge that between them and the punishment due them the long falble processes of the law.
 The men of the Federal Bureau of Investigation aided in the capture of the Brady gang as in other by local authorities-have in few short years dragged the gangster down from romantic pedestal no longer is he figure to excite boyhood admiration but likely to die like rat in gutter
 It was Al Bradys boast that by comparison with himself Diinger was a pker. After Bradys dezvous with the G-men at Bangor the proof was there for all to see-they don't grow tough enough to stop the bullets they invite.

LEST WE FORGET
looking ahead to the approaching

Looking ahead to the approaching
observance of the Fourth of July,
DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health warns against
the irresponsible use of fireworks and
other explosives, on that day, or as
matter of fact, at anytime. There
are plenty of ways of celebrating the
nations birthday, he said, and of
having a good time, also, that are
saner, and much safer.
AS a reminder of the dangers in
volved, DR.. Riley, said that according
to records which covered only part
of the State, exclusive of Baltimore
City, "a persons living in the Coun-
ties of Maryland were injured, some
of them seriously, last year, in
Fourth of July accidents caused by
fireworks or other explosives. The
records covered the following coun-
ties: Allegany, 5; Anne Arundel, s;
Baltimore, l; Carroll, q; Frederick,
3; Hartford, 4; Howard, Q; Kent, q;
Montgomery, 81, and Washington,
81. There we're probably many adj
ditional accidents in the counties he
said, that were not reported. Only
those due to fireworks or other ex-
plosives are included in the recorded
total.
The more serious accidents includ-
ed the following:
Laceration of the leg; from ex-
plosion of torpedo bomb, thrown by
passing motorist. Victim young
man standing on nearby pavement.
Leg injury, due to explosion of
giant firecracker, thrown by an un-
known person.
Injury to the hand, necessitating
the amputation of middle finger, due
to exploding firecracker. Victim a
boy of IL.
Unknown boy, burned on the
face, from firecracker, thrown by an
unknown person.
Little girl, four years old, third
degree burn on her leg, due to ex-
plosion of cherry bomb, lighted
and accidently thrown near the child.
One boy developed tetanus Clock
jaw from injuries from exploding
caps.
One little girl-two years old
died of phosphorus poisoning from
eating a certain kind of explosive.
The hands or fingers were injured
in 81 instances, in of which LAGER
ations added to the painfulness of
the burns. The face was involved
in of the accidents, in one of which
the lips and tongue were badly burn
ed, in another the eyelid. Exploding
firecrackers were responsible for
over 26 of the accidents; backfiring
roman candles for g. caps or toy
pistols for 2; and exploding torpe-
does for 4.
"All of these things happened in
Maryland, DR.. Riley said, mot in
any remote part of the country. They
happened to- your neighbors and to
mine Similar or even more serious
accidents are likely to happen this
year. Our memories are very short.
This reminder is given, lest we for
get"

FARMERS ARE FARMERS ONLY
WHEN FARMING

A farmer is a farmer only when
he is farming, SO far as the Social
Security law is concerned, and when
he engages in other than agricultural
pursuits he comes under the tax and
the benefits provisions OF the Act,
Luther Becker, Manager of the Bal
timore Field Office of the Social Sc
curity Board at 800 Court Square
Building, said.
The same thing is true of the en-
ployee of the farmer, Mr.. Becker
said.
"All employment, unless specifical-
ly excepted by the law itself, is COW
cred by the Social Security Act"
Agricultural labor is one of the
few employments specifically exempt
ed. Because of this exemption some
confusion has arisen over the appli-
cability of the law to farmers and to
persons usually engaged in agricul-
tural employment. 1t should be
borne in mind that the Social Secur-
ity Act does not exclude any group
or class as such, but merely excerpts
certain employments. For example,
a person who usually engages in ag-
ricultural labor is not excepted from
the law when he engages in other
employment 1t is the employment
and not the man which is the deter
mining factor.
Every farmer who engages in
other business, either as an employ
or or an employee, and every farm
worker who undertakes other en-
ployment, even though such employ
ment is only temporary. or part
time, should file application for a
Social Security number. The en-
ployer should file for an identified
ton number. Application for this
Ia made ON Form SS-4, issued by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue at the
Custom House. Baltimore.

VACATION SUGGESTIONS FOR
MOTORISTS

Mile for mile, motor cars require
less attention from their users today
than ever before. This is explained
partly by the increased reliability of
the product, and partly, no doubt,
by the fact that motorists are be-
coming educated in the simple rou-
tine procedure which keeps their au-
tomobiles near peak efficiency all the
time.
With summer at hand, and humid
reds of thousands Of owners planning
vacation trips in their cars, a few
suggestions about preparation for
such Journeys will be timely. An
extended trip makes more strenuous
demands of an automobile than does
normal use around home, and 1t is
only sensible, when planning such
trip, to see that every detail affecting
performance, safety and comfort is
checked in advance.
After a winters driving, it Is al
ways advisable to see that the cool
ing system is in shape for maximum
warm weather efficiency. II this has
been neglected up to now, 1t should
be attended to before that summer
trip. The result will be cooler en-
CINE, longer life from lubricating
oil, and generally improved perform
ance, Water should be checked oc-
casionally during the journey, too, of
course.
Assuming that transmission and
differenital lubricants have been
changed to the proper grade for sum-
mer driving, the levels of both should
be checked before the start of long
Journey. So should the oil in the
crankcase, which, of course, should
also be changed at the intervals rec
commended by the manufacturer.
The solution in an automobile bat
terry evaporates more rapidly in warm
weather than in cold, and the short
time it takes to have this detail
checked, and water added if neces-
sary, is always well invested.
The average motorist thinks about
tires only when he has a fiat" A
little extra attention to the subject
will not only reduce tire troubles to
a minimum, but add considerably to
the comfort of riding and the ease
of driving. Cars steer more easily
when the tires are inflated to the
proper pressure, and it is especially
important that the pressure in the
left and right be the same.
For complete comfort in motoring,
tires should be checked now and then
during a journey. Protracted driv-
ing on hot pavements in summer
may expand the air to a point where
the ride becomes bumpy because the
tires are so hard. On the other hand,
tires with insufficient air wear out
rapidly, because of the constant flex-
ing of the casing near the point OF
contact with the ground. They are
also more likely to suffer rim-cuts
traversing rough roads.
Today's cars rarely develop any
serious trouble, even on an extend
Journeys. But succession of minor
annoyances, easily averted by little
advance preparation, have often mar
red an otherwise perfect trip. The
vacationist who looks after these de-
tails as matter of routine is taking
out good insurance on the success of
his trip.
