Reports are current that there certain amount of reckless driving prevalent by some mot- orists in the city and on the highway. This a condition guarded against, one for which there is less excuse here than almost anywhere. The local mileage of roads limited It can be covered at a reasonable speed in a few hours at most. There is no real reason mone at all for reckless driving. This year there has been a very large increase in Juneau's motor car fleet This makes the need for more caution even greater than in prior years, A good rule for dity driving was sug- gested sometime by chief of police in a large Eastern city—drive as you knew your own child might run the street ahead, of you at any minute. is followed there will. be accidents.

Detroit, 1lying a mile across River from Canada, is the nearest American vity to a vast reservoir of liquor. Seven so-called Canadian border cities—Riverside, Ford City, Walkerville, Windsor, Saddwich, Objibway, and La Salle—lie opposite Detroit. Here are brew- _ erles, distilleries and liquor stores under Govern- " ment supervision. Here liquor cargoes may be the Detroit e, minute the | | pra |ing the foot ———— for ge by House export speed Rum-runners facilities to build to Detroit—a boat. have taken advantage up a huge trade that is legal [on the one side of the border and illegal on the other, An indication of the extent of this trade revealed in the export figures from one port.

Consistent with a soul struggling upward to the light would be the later news that Capone has accepted a partner- hip in a large firm of dyers and aners. U fortunately, this second chapter in a pilgrim’s progress is expounded in more realistic terms by the v m who is responsible for Capone’s entrance into legitimate business life. The head the firm declares that ten years of compe- tition, taking the form of his places of busi- ness burned and bombed and his employees as- saulted, is enough. Being only - a moderate optimist, he did not turn for protection to the public agencies of law and order in Chicago He took in Capone as partner, thus enlisting the services of a two-fisted citizen capable of holding a gun in each fist. Capone’s partner now feels free to go about conducting his busi- ness and fixing his prices against the kind of “competition” that has made Chicago famous. The rise of “Scarface Al"” has its precedent in the history of many ages and climes, not ex- cluding the story of our town times. Porfirio Diaz of Mexico had a way of overcoming rifle and pistol competition by taking the bandits into the Government service. On a large scale the tice now thriving in all the Chinese armies, recruited in large part from surrendered prisoners and hired bandits. Not rarely the em- ployed bravo succeeds in making hiself the mas- ter of his employer, as with the condottieri of the medieval Italian towns or again in China today In Chicage for some years the close as- gociaticn of business and the automatic pistol has been technically known as a ‘‘racket.” Leaders of professional gunmen have organized a large number of “protective’” associations which busi- ness men—milk distributers, garage owners, re- tail shops of varius kinds—have been ‘“invited” to join. Initiation fees and monthly dues have been steep, but perhaps not too high in view of the “protection” accorded. Primarily this con- sisted in immunity from having their places of business blown up or set on fire, their wagons raided, their customers’ automobiles wrecked and their employees assaulted. “Scarface Al's” new role would mark a step in the evolution of the “racket.” Instead of offering his services to the general business public, the gunman now offers his exclusive services to individual firms, New York is not in a position to point the finger at Chicago with 100 per cent. scorn. We, too, have had a taste cf the gangster in business. In the old days of chronic strife in the garment industries the hiring of “gorillas” by employers and labor unions became common. In the course of time the “gorilla” developed ambition; he went into business for himself. He defied lock- outs from employers and strike orders from the unions. Some remnant of this evil practice may, perhaps, have lingered to the present day. But New York can fairly claim that at no time has it challenged the eminence of Chicago. There terrorized business men and complacent courts have f-x'e:nml a situation described by a repre- sentative of the Chicago Employers' Association as “the savagery of the jungle.” York When some Capone, | is What Age Limit for Retirement? (Seattle Business Chronicle.} American thought is steadily breaking down the tradition that after workers have reached a stage where they are not quite as agile and active as in youth—say, age 60—they should be set aside as so much worn-out machinery. But actual observation shows that this theory can- not be applied in anything like a majority of cases. Consequently, corporations, institutions of learning, and other organizations 'are no longer committed to the practice of retiring their men at 60. The showing has been made that 85 per cent. of the big things done today are the work of men past 50; and that there is no reason why a man who shows initiative up to age 60 should quit showing it after 60. The blunt truth is that there is no proper age for retirement. This is not a case for apply- rule. The only time for any man retire is when his days of usefulness are -and that is an individual problem. to over | There is plenty of evidence to corroborate 'l ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR By SAM HILL Ain't Delightful is the day, sun skies clearest blue, weather even warm enough to “shed”—and then thunder peals, the rains scend—ana iurn to snow, And down we go to start the fur. nace up again! bright The The 7y Observations of Oldest Inhabitant I kin remember when air was something we thought important to keep the lungs instead of tires full of.
