Young Couple, Moonhine, a Bottle of nd an Auto, Most Dangerous Quartet CHICAGO, April 19.—Edward To-; bin, Superintendent of Cook Coun- ty schools, supervisor over the| schooling of thousands .of chlldren,' believes a “young couple, a bottle | of moonshine and an automobile | are the most dangerous quartet| to be concocted for the destruction | of human society.” ‘ Tobin, one of six men acting as| Jurors at coroner’s investigation | of George Lux's death last Sunday after a round of roadhouses with several other young men Aand giris making a statement, attribute: death and conditions leading to it, to Prohibition. | His views are that about 70 per| cent of young men, 18 to 25, accept] as a regular standard of recreation, |2 party, auto ride, dancing and a bottle of gin or moonshine, and -about 50 to 60 percent of the girls about 17 years of age, accept this code. In pre-Volstead days, Tobin says, the bottle never aspired to dictate the social habits of our ycung people. It does today. Families and homes originate from early association for the young people of both sexes. The home or family ied with a bottle of bootleg has foundation in the quicksand. The ibottle is the byproduct of Prohi- |bition. Either the bottle as one of the trio has got to go or its an- cestor, Prohibition, must go.” Their features were | portant in { Wiley Corbet i and their points | appear {0 move | “Lighting one of the most im- considerations,” Harvey tt of New York, ch: architectural commis- sion said. “The possibilities of ar- tificiai light, both day and nig} are so great they almost scere us.” Visitors, moving from building to building on the noiseless launches. will travel bhetween the specially built islands over canals, whose waters will change color as the man of the | silent boat slips along. Jerticality is a relative thing,” continued Corbett. “We may| not have anything in the fair more than 500 feet high, but we hope to create a verticality more intriguing than the nearby skyscrapers. The tower of Bab>l propably did not exceed 250 feet but compared to the huts in which people lived at that time, it was of enormous height.” Each floor of the buildings will be back to provide for streets | and sidewalks. Visitors to leave the grounds must pass through sev- eral buildings. “We are going to make it easy for them to see everything that nothing will be overlooked,” re-| marked Corbett. “At the samej time we are going to give them| something absolutely new in archi- tecture.” —————— 1!

Joseph Perconti, aged 37 years, was slain by shotgun killers. The man is generally believed to have given the Police information lon which the kidnappers of ten- year-old Billy Raniere were arrest- ed. He was one of those arrested with the kidnappers and the case against him was dismissed in un- |derstanding of the information which resulted in the conviction of two men for the abduction Among those first sought for the slaying of Perconti is his brother ‘Tony, who was one of those charg- ed with the actual kidnapping but ready for the Scouts./ { never apprehended. author- | but the couple ran out before the {bombs exploded and continued shooting.

After describing it, Dr. Riddle said rats nearly double in size. “A very large stature is a gift with- in the power of experimentalists who are learning the use and spe- cial power of specific hormone, even while this substance is obtainable in a very crude form, but this in- | ternal secretion is of much signifi- cance since active able attempts |are being made to isolate it in a |pure form and because when this Is accomplished, the product will unquestionable immediately be used to increase the growth of human beings.”
