CITIZEN POLICE OF [0WA CLEAR STATE Former Number of Bank Robbers Noticeable by Their Absence { Des Moines, Aug. 14.—Iowa, which for many years was the stamping ound of bank robbers, apparently as become the “No-man's land” for bandits and outlaws, as a resu't of the activities of 3,800 trained vigi- lantes. The state bankers' association, which is responsible for the organiza- tion of the vigilantes, recently re- ported that during the six months ending July 1 there was not a bank robbery in Iowa--a record unsur- passed in recent years in the Hawk- cye state, Losses sustained by banks and cus- tomers in 56 robberies during 1921, ! before the vigilantes were organized, totaled $228,973.84. During the fol- Jowing year, when the vigilantes were Just getting under way, there were 30 robberies and losses of $54,041.85, But $30,000 was obtained in the year hust ended. The record of Iowa, the only state having such an organization, has at- tracted the attention of bankers and authorities throughout the states and @ number has visited here and ob- tained a working knowledge of the system with a view of having it in- groduced in their own states. The vigilantes, armed with army pistols and rifies or sawed-off shot- puns and the authority of deputy gheriffs, are, for the most part, ex service men, trained in the use of guns. They are subject to ca 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their pames and telephone numbers are on & special switchboard in the pelephone office of their home town and the operator, calling them out, is allowed & bonus of $25 to encourage speedy eervice. The vigilantes operate in 800 of the 2,000 towns in the state which have banks. The organization is spreading and probably will be in operation in the other 200 towns before the year is ended. i Banks ‘in each of the 99 counties of the state have pledged the payment of at least $1,000 for the capture or information leading to the arrest and conviction of robbers or burglars af- tempting to rob or burglarize a bank. The reward is paid immediately upon the capture, dead or alive, of rob- bers or burglars taken while in the act of committing the crime, Several counties have equipped kheir vigilantes with armored auto- mobiles, One county has barricades erected at intersecting roads, from behind which the bandits are due for a rain of lead, should they pass that way. Another county has colored light for night pursuit, that the vigi- lantes may identify each other. The same county has provided spiked belts which are stretched across the high. ways to puncture the tires of the au- tomobiles of the fleeing bandits. Tn counties where there are airplanes, arrangements have been compeleted for their use in case of emergency. 10 STUDY UNRULY CHIGAGO CHILDREN Clinic to Be Established at Rush Medical Gollege Chicago, Aug. 14.—A clinic for un- ruly children, second of its kind in the world, is to be established at Rush edical college here, according to Dr. C. G. Grulle, head of the chil- dren’s department of the school. “There is too much mother in the modern family,” declared Dr. Grulle. “That is the reason unruly children in American homes are more numerous than ever before. In for- mer days families were large. Now- adays when we have one and two chil- dren in a family, the youngsters get too much attention. They come self- centered and consequently unruly. Pity the only child ! He is the pro- duct of modern civilization, and he is & social and medical problem.” The new clinic at Rush will spe- clalize in neurotic children between ghe ages of three and 14. Nurses and physicians of the new dispensary will investigate home con- | ditions first. In a majority of cases, ‘they say, the trouble is not with the child but with the home. Nine times out .of ten he has developed an ex- aggerated ego. He has been petted too much. “If you get at a child’s environ- ment, you change his whole life,” said Dr. Grulle. “Small families are bad for children. If they spend a short time in the ecompany of other chil dren, they get their minds off them selves and are cured completely. “The cause of undrnourishment usually is this same exaggerated ego. When a child stops eating or eats sparingly, he ®oon learns the whole tamily is upset. He enjoys being the center of interest “The behavioristic clinic has as its object the correction of obstinacy, sulkiness and other faults. Likely as not the child is bored. We try give him something to think about We get him interested in sometRing We do not scold, but if we promise punishment, we do not weaken. A child soon learns threats are not to be feared.” The only other clinic in the world to when his parents specializing in the behaviorietic proh- | lems of children is in Boston Summer conditions among office workers are much more healthful with open windows and fresh air cir culating, than in winter when venti ating agencies are closed and the air becomes hot and stagnant, =ay a medical observer. i'SW‘trorfiherg 'Bamure't'or‘; - & G Hayvker NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, 'AUGUST 14 RUSSIANS ENDEAVORING 10 RESTORE PETROGRAD Soviets Attempt to Restore City to Its Former Importance Has Detrimental Effect on Riga. Revel, Aug. 14.—Soviet Russia's eftort to restore Petrograd to its for- mer importance as the gateway t North Russia is having a detrimenta effect on the ports of Helsingfors, Re+ val and Riga. The Moscow govern- ment is diverting all possible business to Petrograd, and is making improve- ments in the harbor to enable large ships to enter with safety as they did in the days before Bolshevism worked ruin to the port which has lain idle for so0 long. The Moscow government holds no kindly feeling for Latvia and Esthon- ia, and naturally does not care to have the ports of Reval and Riga continue to be the gateways to Russia, as they were in the days of the czar. Ice troubles are far less in Reval and Riga than in Petrograd. Rolshevist efforts to keep Petrograd open through extremely cold wegther have not been very successful, and the Russian government was very unhap- py over the necessity for shipping a large amount of American Relief Ad- ministration supplies through the ports of the new RBaltic states rather than through Petrograd. A recent census in Petrograd showed the city now has over half a million inhabitants, This was some- thing of a surprise, as it was at one time believed to have fallen to 300,- 600, But the housing conditions are 80 good there, as compared with con- ditions in Moscow, that the popula- tion of Petrograd which remained in Russia is apparently drifting back to; the old capital Zinovieff, the hegd of the Petrograd soviet and chairman of the Third International, is making a vigorous effort to hring Petrograd hack. Odessa and the other Black §éa ports are being neglected in fa ver of Petrograd. IR, ACHTEVENENT TENT Officials of Local Council Take Unique Way to Demonstrate Results of Work in City During Summer.
