CRIME DECREASE
REPORTED IND. c.
Only Minor Thievery Shown
al on Rise-12 Murders in
Quarter Listed.

Except for minor thievery, crime
decreased substantially in Washing
ton during the first quarter of 1898,
as compared with the same period a
year ago, according to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
In its first quarterly crime report
bulletin for 1888, just issued, the
bureau cites figures showing a decrease
in the number of murders, robberies,
assaults, burglaries and larcencies.
There were IL murders reported to
the F. B. I. by local police during
the first three months of this year
while Is were reported in the first
quarter of 1887. Robberies declined
from 248 to 1877, assaults from 119 to
90, burglaries from $50 to 584, lar
cenies involving $50 or more from 367
to 209 and thefts of automobiles from
1853 to AL.
Petty Larceny Increase.
The only increase was from 1866
to 1,840 in larcenies involving less
than $50.
New York City led the country in
number of murders during that period
with 66. Chicago was next with 81,
Birmingham third with 20, Philadel-
phia fourth with 26, New Orleans fifth
with 81, Atlanta and Cleveland tied
for sixth with Is each, Nashville next
with IS, Baltimore and Fort Worth
tied with IA and Los Angeles, Houston,
Detroit and Dallas tied with l3.
Washington, with its IL murders
was tied with Memphis for fifteenth
place.
The bulletin cautioned against
drawing comparisons between crime
rates of various cities, however, be-
cause "a great variety of factors
may be involved. 1t listed the follow
ing as factors which might affect the
amount of crime in community:
Composition of the population with
reference particularly to age, sex and
race.
Other Reasons Given.
Economic status and activities OF
the population.
Climate.
Educational. recreational and relig-
ious facilities.
Number of policemen per unit OF
population.
Standards governing appointments
TO the police force.
|; Policies of the prosecuting officials
and the courts.
Attitude of the public toward law
enforcement.

Timely Questions
And Ans W ers

QUESTION: Is it safe to use to-
bacco plants from bed that is in
fected with mosaic?
ANSWER: Yes, but none of the
plants within one-foot radius of
the diseased area should be touched
until all the healthy plants are re-
moved from the bed at any one
pulling. Ali plants from the diseased
area should then be removed from
the beds and destroyed. After
handling the infected plants the
hands should be washed in weak
disinfectant solution and the cloth
ing changed to prevent spreading
the disease. Mosaic is very in
fictitious disease and is commonly
spread by indiscriminate handling
of diseased and healthy plants
while transplanting.

A Few Good Tips
To Ashe Farmers

Increased farm activity, as grow
ers prepare to plant their spring
crops, has been in evidence recent
ly over most of North Carolina.
In going about this annual task,
many faremrs are still clinging to
methods which have proven def
nitely unwise, says George w. Midi
er, Madison County farm agent of
State College Extension Service.
For instance, he points out those
farmers who still burn corn stalks
off their fields instead of turning
them under. In consecutive crop
ping, the soil needs plenty of plant
food in the form of decayed organ
ic matter to help maintain its fer
tility.
Then, too, there are many farm
ers who burn off all broom sedge
before blowing, Miller said.
Experiments have indicated con-
clusively that it is better practice
to plow deeper and earlier in the
winter and to turn under all this
growth.
'When land is burned over, prac-
tically all plant food is lost except
that contained in the few ashes
left" Miller declared "And that is
no way to make farming profit
able business"
The Madison agent also explained
that corn stalks or broom sedge
make a good litter for bedding
stalls and barnyards during the
winter months.
much of our cropland is starv-
ing for more manure" he said, zone
farmer told me he did not have
enough straw for feed, much less
litter for bedding. However, as a
last resort leaves, pine needles, and
tobacco stalks can be used; but by
all means get the manure in the
fields early this spring"

It's only within the last hundred

kitchen is one of the most import

When history first began man had
only juat started to cook his food,
for fire had to be discovered before
the cooking could become known.
Before an open hut of sod he turned
his fresh meat before the fire. This
form of cooking was known to the
Egyptians, Greeks and Romans AS
people moved north into the cold
er climates, fire was brought into
building set apart from the main
abode. There, before huge fire.

ployment Insurance That
Amt Eligible.

Raleigh, Mar. IF every one of
the more than 10000 claims filed
with the State Unemployment Com
pensation Commission for unem-
ployment benefits were legitimate
claim, then approximately 80 per
cent, or nearly one-third of all of
the 100000 covered workers in the
State who were working last year,
are or have been unemployed since
January l.
Best estimates available indicate
that probably not as many as 1OO,-
900 of the nearly 100000 workers
who applied for benefits have valid
claims, which would mean that
about 20 per cent, one-fifth, of the
workers covered last year are now
unemployed, or have been unem-
ployed since January I. Many of
the applicants did not have valid
claims to begin with, because they
had not worked for covered en-
ployers, or had not worked enough
to set up the required wage records,
during the first three quarters of
1937-the nine months on which the
record is based.
This estimate is based on the
number of claims on which the in
itial determination" the decision as
to whether or not the claim is valid,
and if so, how much can be paid
the worker each week and for how
long the payments can continue,
has been made. The Office has
worked more than 100000 of these
claims since January l. The rec
ords show that about $4,000 pay
orders have been prepared and that
about $4,000 checks have been writ
| ten, aggregating in amount about
100000. The checks average with
in few cents of $3.50 each. These
estimates are based on actual fig
ures through Thursday, when A.
523 checks had been written, {aggre-
eating $247, 210.69 or an average OF
1888 each.
The office in Raleigh is now set up
so it can turn out about $500 checks
day, and probably will be speeded
up in a short time, so it can turn
out 5000 checks day.

In the Georgian house we find the
kitchen on the ground floor and in
many cases in the basement. But
it was not until the homemakers of
the last fifty years decided that to
do her homework efficiently she
must have all rooms conveniently
arranged, so the kitchen found its
sightful place. Today in some house
plans the kitchen is even located
in the front of the houge for con-
venience-an idea our grandmoth-
ers would never have entertained.

an eye for beauty are the guiding
