Small fires are still burning in other national forests of the state. but with small detachments of rangers and ranchers watching over them, are not expected to break be- yond ca:efully constructed fire lines. Although the situation for the moment is favorable the danger is far from past. Ten more weeks of Gfy weather remain before the fall rains can be expected. Paul G.

WASHINGTON, July 19,—(United Press.)}—The mail bandit leads the most precarious existence of the criminal world. He plies his trade under the ‘most perilous conditions; he has only the slightest chance of getting away with his loot and his hide intact. His profession is essentially a sport- ing one—he miust play a long shot for big stakes. Besides mail robbery, forgery 1s a sure thing; kidnappt is a sinecure, and gang murder is child's play. ¢ And thereason is that Uncle Sam never admits defeat. The hounds in the postal inspector's office will maintain their chase indefinitely. It may take them 10 yeare—20 years— 50 years, but a robbery case is never closed until they get their man. Tke Chicago mail robbery during. June and the disappearance of be- tween $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 is the most recent illustration of the difficulty of beating the game. Within a week, inspectors had rounded up a part of the gangand recovered the greater portion of the money. Figures recently prepared by Rush D. Simmons, chief postoffice inspector, show that the mail robber hasn't one chance in 10 of success. According to the figures there were 16 big holdups in 1921, 18 in 1922, and@ six in 1928, In the 1921 cases, 73 arrests were made and - $8,500,000 of $6,000,000 stolen re- Dana Gibson. : covered.

The perils of the mail bandit are not limited to apprehensions, how- ever, He knows that his “long. shot” includes taking his life in his hands. For every postal clerk on mail trains {s armed with a rifte,! and he has orders to “shoot to kill." JOHN W. OAUIS TAKES REST AT AATIST’S HOME near Jordan, Harold, aged 7. i Long Island and in Jersey for the three S's ‘that are supposed to count in New York—society, stage and screen, The hats were thoroughly appro- priate for the affairs. In the lang- uage, cf the roped arena, they were a flop, They served, however, to mark the difference between those who were merely dressed and thore dressed well. It was evident that for the latter, the flamboyant type of costume was qa archaic as the horee and buggy. The simplicity of the better frocks involves no lack of color. Pale mauve and lavender tones, a new shade of deep red pink, lime and beige share honors with black and white as fayorites. The lavish use of lace ip especially noticeable at present, the chosen colors being gold, black, silver and coffee. Some gorgeously dyed laces are joined to- gether by a network of gold and bronze. One freck recently worn here is of fine silk lace, dyed lime green, worn over a pink slip. From the waist up, the lace shades from lime to a white pink at the neck, From the waist down, the color deepens until it becomes a* bronze green. The skirt is weighted at the hem with gold galoons. At the neck is worn a pale pink and green feather boa topped by a green and pink crinoline hat with a lace crown and green feather tufts and acecmpan- ied by a green lace parasol, feather edged and garnishe? qith pink roses. The vogue of simplicity is admir- ably suited to the bobbed cofffure. ‘The heavier summer fabrics, such as marocaine are made to hang gullt- less of waist line, but at the same time to fall in as though’molded to the figure. Such a frock is difficult, both to cut and to wear, but to those slim, boyish nes, it adda re- markable distinction. For those ngt so particular, the ac quisition of a summer frock is an easy matter. It Is only necessary to tear down thg window draperies or rob the furniture of Its summer slip covets to secuye materia! and if the frock and the figure of the wearer are both shapelees neither will be lonesome in any company outside a summer review chorus. = ee ea JULY GLEARANGE SALE AT STORE OF RICHARDS AND CUNNINGHAM OPENS The annual July clearance sale of Richards and Cunningham company will be started off with a bang to- morrow and will last until July 26.

The postoffice department fully expects to apprehend all criminals who escaped following depredations during the 1921-1923 period and re- cover much of the property. These fugitives may meet the same fate as James Johnson, “Port- Jand Ned,” famous safe-cracker, Johnson burglarized a postoffice in Danbury, N. C., June 13, 1898. He Was captured 16 years later and began serving his sentence, Jan- uary 22, 1915. But while persistence is the strong point of the inspectors ,their best investigators are by no means de- ficient in ingenuity and cratt. During the past yeas; inspectors were puzzled. by the continued rifling of letters and packages in the southwest section of the coun- try. After sowe work on the case, the thefts finally were narrowed to one of six postoffices. Then the force was baffled. They seemed unable to determine in which office the burglary has been practiced. One feature of all the thefts was that after the letters had been opened, shey were resealed. ‘This gave one of the inspectors an idea— which he secretly followed out. Traced by Odor. A few weeks later, he was handed another letter ‘which had been orened and re-sealed. He moistened the mucilage on the flap and lifted the envelope to his nose. After a good, long sniff, he announced that he had apprehended the thief. DALLAS, Tex., July 19.
