Hunted Man Gives Up

ANY other day it would have re-
ceived a banner headline in New
York newspapers Even in an inter
national crisis it was important
news when Louis (Lepke) Buchal-
ter surrendered Thursday to j.
Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. This was
the end of a two-year search for a
man whom Thomas Dewey, District
Attorney, has described as the
worst industrial racketeer in Am
erica
The case. on the heels of capture
of other racketeers and gunner,
heightens the reputation of G-men
and police that they always get
their man. 1t also illustrates a
familiar homily that is as old as
Moses and as true as ever: "Besure
YOUR sin will find you out" They
that undertake by violence to i've
off other peoples labor lead a
precarious existence. In the cur
rent case, according to police,
every effort to dispose Of a wit
ness to a previous crime added
another link in the chain from
which "Lepke" eventually decided
it was futile to try to escape.
But that is not all the story. Go
back to the time when Buchalter
At the age of fourteen was thrown
fatherless and alone upon the
world to make his way by his own
resources. A helping hand then
might have changed the later
career. Society has some sins Oh
omission which come back 10
collect their toll in the costs'
human and financial, of SUPPRESS
ing crime.-Ex.

ANOTHER GREAT WAR
STARTED BY GERMANY
Another Great War
Started By Hitler

Germany as before makes Il
surprise attack on Poland and is
making slow advances into her
territory.
England and France have rushed
10 the aid of Poland but it will
take time to get their fighting
equipment in action against the
Hitler vast fighting army, and IN
the mean time the Germans will
be advancing into Poland. The first
blow usually counts considerable in
a fight. but when France ard
England gets into the struggle
Germany will find she has bitten
off more than she can chew.
This will undoubtedly be long
and bitter fight and Hitler must
be stopped in his mad desire to
control the world.
Right will prevail and there is
no doubt that Poland, France aud
England with other support COM
ing to their aid will be victorious
in the end, as all peace and justice
living people hope.

Visual Education
Increase Noted In
Arizona's Schools

Visual education. modern IN
novation in the field of public in
struction. is expanding in the
schools of Arizona, according tc
the state department Of public IN
struction.
This says the department in a
recent bulletin, SIS not a new flelu
but with the coming OF the motion
picture to the classroom. has re-
ceived renewed attention.
Broadly speaking, any educa-
tional device that appeals through
the eye to the pupils sensory per-
ception is a visual aid to the edu'
catiye process. In a more narrow
sense, the term visual aids is ap
piled to such objects, devices ami
procedures as museum objects,
models. charts, graphs, motion
pictures, various types of project
ed still pictures, school journeys
and exhibits.
1.-The extension division of thu
University of Arizona has establish
ed a commendable, though small
lending library of glass and film
slides and motion pictures films
1.-The department of education
has been prevented by lack u
funds and adequate personnel from
entering this important field of
service to the public schools. A
beginning was made in 1899 when
the department showed typical
educational talking films in most
urban schools of the state.
These showings were made fol
the purpose of intimately acquaint
ing teachers and school officials
with the possibilities of educationa
motion picture films as a teaching
device and to promote their use
The number of motion picture
projectors and other devices fol
the use of visual aids owned by
our schools is increasing. 1t i:
safe to say further progress would
be made if help were to be giver
in the matter Of obtaining instruc
tional materials in the field an;
adapting them to classroom use.

Reich Leader Had
Craving For Power
Since Youth

In the little town of Braunau,
upper Austria, on April 20, 1859
a half century ago-Hitler was
born. His father was Bohemian
customs official, who had foresaken
his trade of shoemaking. His
mother was the third wife OF his
father.
Kindly and indulgent, Hitlers
mother encouraged her son to study
that he might choose a trade as
his life work. But the boy had IT
his veins a fever for power. AT
IA Hitler abandoned his studies,
left home and went to Vienna.
There he took to painting post
cards and small novelties. When
times grew harder, he eked out an
existence by house painting. His
success was small He became
embittered, turned his back on bis
Catholic religion, his Jewish bene'
factors and his native land. He
went to Germany and at the out
break of the war in 1914, fouho
his first fellowship in the German
army. He became a corporal.
At the conclusion of hostltlties'
he turned to politics and began
organization of his Nazi party. III
1923 he considered his party SUI
ficiently strong and staged the
famous Munich beer garden putsch
to overthrow the German repuplc'
Il failed. He was imprisoned, put
the party grew stronger and IN
1888, he came at last into power
After Hindenburg's death in 1884

Ariz. Copper Mines
Air-Conditioned

Thousands of feet down in the
copper mines of Arizona, laborers
and technicians work in comfort
as do businessmen and stenograph-
ers in modern air-conditioned build
ings. For the mines are air con-
ditioned, too; and one of them, the
Magma at Superior, is refrigerated.
Machines which operate on the
same principle AS household re-
frigerators, but are many times
larger, not only cool the air but
also humidity it.
The Magma is said to be the
only refrigerated mine in the Unit
ed States; and it is claimed the
only two others in the world are
in Brazil and South Africa. It's ap
paratus was installed two years
ago. at a cost of 100000, on the
3.40O-foot and 3,600-foot levels
Comfort of the men was increased
to such a marked degree and ore
production increased so greatly the
system is being extended to the A.
O00-foot level.
Heat, humidity, and dust are the
enemies of the copper miner, ana
now all have been conquered. Heat
and humidity problems were es-
pecially severe at the Magma be
cause it is an unusually wet
mine Water coming in contact
with sulphide ore generates heat
and the moisture "boils off, until
the air is saturated with 80 to ~
per cent humidity. Now the air is
blown through refrigeration COILS
which lower the temperature at
least 10 degrees and condense the
moisture.
Blowers To force aid down shafts
are as old as machinery in mining
but enormous blowers Of special
| design are required to MAINTAIN
comfortable working conditions IN
Arizona copper mines, some OF
which are almost a mile deep.
Striking improvements have been
made in these devices. So efficient
are those at the Copper Queen, in
Bisbee. that they move thousands
OF tons of air daily, equal to about
one fourth the weight of the ore
mined in whole month. Al
Jerome, one immense fan pushes
2SO 900 cubic feet of air every min
ute into the United Verde.
Ventilation is a matter of In
stalling machines of sufficient
capacity and then keeping them in
order. But the fight with dust is
never ending and has given rise tc
the little-known trade of "dust
| tuSluCSl.
At each of the Phelps Dodge Cor
poration mines in Bisbee, Jerome
Ajo, and Morenci, dust samples are
being taken constantly. Any in
crease of dust in air where mer
are working means the technlca
staff must find some way to reduce
it. Every workman in a gaseous

required to wear resplrator.

AS voiced by the resolution, sharp
criticism was directed to the fact
that the prison buildings will De

school where children will be

expressed that overflow from the
District Jail would be placed, even

through possible jailbreaks."
