De Lucchi has invented and pat

sno all the operator has TO do is
LII the handles, turn the switch
and steer the wheelbarrow load.
De Lucchi's father is a contractor
and Albert went into the business
with him 10 years ago He started
from the bottom, and that meant
pushing many a Wearying load Of
concrete, sand or other materials.

he watched other mechanical aids.
Ike dltch-dlggers, scraper lines and
pole-setters, saving man s muscles
and wondered why the age of the
machine couldn't be extended 10 the
wheelbarroW
After a year Of experiment, the
Z5-year-old De LucchI produced a
successful model
De Lucchi explained there had
teen motorized wheelbarroW de-
veloped previously but the motor

lily feed. The speed control is in
the right-hand grip on the handles.
The One-cylinder gasoline engine

Women Cut Loose
From Law; Arrests
Are on Increase
Murder, Assault, Disorderly
Conduct, Drunkenness
Chief Offenses.

WASHINGTON While the boys
are safely out of the way at army
camps an astonishing number of
young women apparently are bent
on finding out for themselves whed-
er it's true that crime doesn't pay
The Federal Bureau of InveStiga-
ton figures there were 1873 per cen.
more arrests of women during the
corresponding period a year ago.
according to Lucrece Hudgins of the
Associated Press Most of these ar
rests were for such emotional
crimes as murder, assault. drunkeu
ness, and disordcrly conduct.
Psychologists speculate endIess!y
on the causes of this widespread
crime wave among women. During
the eight-year period from 1881 II
1899 the number of women seq
fenced TO state and federal prisons
and reformatorieS increased by less
than | per cent
War Is Responsible.
Chief cause for the violent leap H.
arrests this year may well be the
holocaust in Europe which is ind
rectly responsible for an increased
nervous tension among normally
self-cOntrolled women.
At every period in history wheC
men have been engaged in major
conflict there has been an enormous
ly increased crime rate England
is coping with a crime situation
which is way out of line with normal
times
Although the FBI has no figures
for the period of l9l4-l918 compar-
able with those just released, police
recall that during the last war they
were faced with an abnormal crime
wave.
Most alarming increase is in
criminal homicide There were III
per cent more arrests of women for
murder during the first six months
of the year than were made during
the first six months of 1910.
COnjectural Explanations.
"Cherchez la femme" has always
been the motto of J. Edgar Hoover,
FBI head. Where you find tic
woman in the crime" says Hoover,
there you find the man who, al
too often, not only committed tte
crime because of her but has beer
aided by her in its execution and Il
his escape from the consequences.
Now that youth with wayward l.
denotes have found il easier to g.
jobs than to thieve, Mr. Hoover :
la femme has come out of hid!:,
and is operating on her own. Fo,
example. female arrests for bur
glary jumped 2O3 per cent dug
the first half of the year, whereas
male arrests for burglary decreased
AT per cent
The increased employment CT
women in industry is another cause
suggested by criminologists for the
higher crime rate Now that the
girls have taken their places along
side men as airplane workers, bus
drivers, bank messengers and street
peddlers, they face the same tempta-
tons and opportunities for mis-
demeanOr as their brother workers.

War Silences
London's Bells
Churches Suffer Heavily in
Air Raids, but Most
Carillons Escape.

LONDON.-Londoners. who have
a historic affection for their church
bells, are keeping careful count Of
the afraid damage to the city
churches and their carillons. The
record can be read between the
lines of the ancient nursery rhyme
about London's churches:
Oranges and lemons say the
bells of ST. Clemens"
The blitz finally caught up with
the bells of ST. Clement Dane, in the
Strand. They were to have been
buried in sand for the duration of
the war to save their gay nursery
rhyme peal for posterity. As they
lay in the porch awaiting removal
an incendiary bomb fired the
church. Now only the walls remain.
The bells lie in debris. Some may
never peal again.
Claim of st. Martins Bells.
You owe me five farthings, say
the bells of ST. Martin"
Maybe they will go on collecting
their debts for years yet. the bells

church was built in l740
When will that be? say the bells

Incendiaries burned holes in the
roof of St. Dunstan's Stepney, known
since the Fifteenth century as the
parish church of all those born at
sea. Bomb blasts broke the win

Great Bell of Bow.
\ ,o
bell of Bow
The most famous of all London
church bells are those of St. Mary
le-Bow, which once sounded the
city's nine o clock curfeW For cen
turtles the hallmark of a LondOner
was that he be born within reach
of their sound. The bells remain,
but the church has been severely
damaged.
None of London's bells has sound
ed since the day war was declared.
Until peace comes again only one
event could make them speak-the
arrival of invading German troops
on English soil.
But war cannot silence the nursery
rhyme. Cockney children playing
in the East End streets chant COR
anges and Lemons" as they choose
partners for the tug-of-War which
ends their ancient game. The
words they sing, though, are their
own blitZ-amended version:
Gay go up and gay 60 down
To ring the bells of London town.
Here come incendlaries TO light you TO bed
Out with the sandbagS! Kill EN- all dead
