The challenge will come pretty near being the most rapid ever met in this county, due chiefly to the excellent work ” pro- | performed by a special county commission committee-of-one who had been busy on just such a proposition for the past two nonths.

Those interested in the airport move have conservatively predicted that close to a half million dollars a year will be added to the amount of money spent in this city by reason of having this facility.

The United States, as the most power- ful nation of the modern world, must be | willing to assume its share of the respon- sibil’ y for maintaining peace. We _ see e learly today that a refusal to do so in the | past has not protected us from the danger of war. Let us avoid the same mistake again. There will always be outlaw govern- ments in the world, ready to use force for national aggrandizement, which is a polite term for ordinary stealing. The outlaw governments _ will respect no treaty attention superior gun-power. The meral is this, that peace-loving natiors must maintain, either individually or collectively, sufficient force to deter the outlaws. By working together, peace-loving nations can reduce the cost of | the job but if they want to insure peace they must be prepared for war. JAPS ARE SURPRISED Officials of the Japanese Foreign Of- fice refused at first to believe that Urited States had advised its nationals in the Far East to come home as early as pos- sible. the news impossible, but, later, they admit- ted that the withdrawal might occur, al- though expressing surprise. American observers point out that Japanese officials are reluctant to’ admit that their policy meets deep and serious opposition in this country. Consequently, they explain the advice by pointing out that the United States is ‘always exces- sively cautious in advising citizens over- seas.” There is no way to tell what respon- sible Japanese officials think, but there are indications which suggest that, at least, they are beginning to believe that the United States is ready for a showdown if necessary in the Far East.

E. Simpson, superinten- ‘dent of the Stores Protective as- sociation of this city. Between 50 and 75 detectives are constantly at work here pro- tecting department stores from shoplifting depredations. The hol- iday shopping season, when stores are crowded and clerks are is thé time the detectives be most on the alert. “Our amateur shoplifters are r<t poor people”. says Simpson. people who are living their means, persons who they never would be sus- pected. “They may be wives of profes- run over or young girls of good families who buy : cheap article and can’t resist the temp- tation to pick up an _ expensive one at the same time”. Get Ten Percent Professional shoplifters, he says, crdinarilvy dispose of their loot through “fences” in the East and get only 10 percent of its value. But a good one can aver- age $300 worth of merchandise a day. are Feature Service) Among the tricks used by shop- | lifters, Simpson mentions the fol- lowing: A box wrapped to resemble a tied package actually has a false bottom, and the shoplifter has merely to lay it down over an ar- ticle and pick it up adroitly. A silk bag which at first glance resembles a sport coat is carried over the arm and can be stuffed with stolen goods. This device permits the shoplifter to leave the store with both hands showing. The thief enters the store with | stamped boxes, addressed to her- self, dise into them and drops them in a mailbox. She thus escapes be- ing “caught with the goods”. Use Their Coats Men shoplifters favor double- breasted coats, and Simpson's of- fice has a record of thrée men who got away with eight suits of clothing in a single day by se- creting them on their persons. The net result of shoplifting, Simpson points out. is increased prices to the public. Every large store has an item known as “shrinkage”, representing mer- chandise that the store has bought but not sold—which apparently has vanished into thin air. This cost must be taken account in fixing prices. into Remember The Children __BY FRANK ©.
