Oper- ations are carried on under the direction of keen master minds, whose plans are made and executed with a skill worthy of a better purpose. A typical “crime corporation” is reported. from Chicago, where several members of the gang are under ar- Test. Operating an automobile agency on Ashland avenue, the head of the ring carries a number of new cars. Members of the gang steal nearly new automobiles and bring them in to the chief’s garage, where they are polished up and a new number sub- stituted. Then they are shipped to towns in near- by states, where other members of the gang also operate agencies and dispose of them. It is said that the head of the thieving organization has paid more than $40,000 for lawyers to aid in squaring matters with people to whom stolen cars have been sold. In other lines of banditry and lawlessness the same sort of organization exists. Encouraged, no doubt, by the laxity of the law enforcement, thous- ands have deliberately embarked upon a life of crime, lured by the financial gains to be secured at a minimum risk of apprehension and punishment. The individual criminal has always presented Organized crime is an even greater menace to society, and will increase unless means shall be devised to insure more’ “certain, swift and adequate punishment for the horde of crim- a serious problem. inals operating throughout the land: SAFER AIRPLANES ' Continued research and experiments in the ef- fort to produce airplanes of greater stabiliiy and safety appear to be meeting with excellent success.

It would fly with feet off the rudder ber, and if this were kicked over and released it returned to the central position and a steady flight was resumed.: In many other ways the perform- ance of the machine was remarkable and landing proved so easy that it seemed impossible to make a bad landing. One of the great problems of airplane engineers is to secure greater safety, and the steady developments being made in this direction indicate that the time is not far distant when aerial travel may be made as safe as that on the water or by land. The perfected airplane was DOES SILENCE IMPLY ASSENT? (Miami Daily News) Julius Caesar divorced his wife Pompeia, main- taining that those in ‘high positions must be above suspicion. To no class of public servants does this apply more aptly than to the judiciary. The very foun- dation of contentment and public well-being rests, not only on the justice and legality of judicial de- cisions, but in ne less measure on general recogni- tion of the independence, uprightness, capability and unquestioned personal character of the men who interpret the laws. Judge Tom Norfleet of the criminal court of record twice has been impugned publicly. during the last few months by agencies of the highest repu‘e and has made no effort to clear himself of the im- putations against him. On March 25, 1926, the Dade county grand jury recommended that pr¢secutign jialeah grafi cases be taken out of Judge Norfleet’s court. Last Friday, Acting :State’s. sAttorney Abe Aronovitz informed an assemblage of Dade county | enforcement officers that Inez Meredith had testi- fied under oath that the Florida Loan & Brokerage Co., alleged to be doing an itregular bonding bus- iness here, has an arrangement with Judge Norfleet In Mr. his intention to hew out the rotten timber from the | governmental structure, let the chips fall where they may.
