Back in 1901 Cudahee was called King county’s best sheriff, and he made a good effort to live up to the name. He was again elected sheriff in 1913, serving one term. For several years past he has been living at his former home in Michigan. i ee One of life's little Jokes was that Harry Sinclair returned to the United Siates on the oil-burner President Harding and be was lItner viewed In the tea room Old- son, s will =u ir, Horrible— But Rare SING in court, a New York gangster non- chalantly tells how he hired himself out at $50 a week to set fire to tenements, He says he got a bonus of $40 for one job—firing a building in which 250 people slept, The really remarkable thing about a case like this, however; is its rarity, That is true of all major criminal operations, The criminal is the exception, and that's why he gets publicity. A discouraged public, for In- stance, gives so much thought to the 12,000 Americans who commit murder in a year that it forgets the more than 108 millions who don't. Daugherty evidently objects to members of the Old Guard feeding him to the wolves in the hope that they themselves may escape the wolves at the door. i | } aa Moral Force Needed apts federal courts In the last four years have han- dled more than 115,000 criminal cases in connection with the prohibition act. This averages 119 cases a day. A conservative estimate would be that the courts do not reach one in 1,000, Enforcement of law, in the long run, depends en public opinion, popular respect for law.

Still Far to Go ‘ATAL auto accidents have increased by half in five years, This is due, however, not to increased care- lessness, but to the larger number of machines in use. The element of danger accompanying the average car |s slowly but surely growing less. All this is the result of safety-first campaigns and more intelligent handling of traffic. We've made a good start in this direction, but there's still a long way to go. Accidents, almost without exception, originate in some- one’s carelessness. Bank clerks are siriking In Austria because they handle so much money and get so little, Mostly Bluff N old-time traffic cop says that in a big storm pedes- trians are fewer by three-fifths and autos by a tenth. This proves, the cop reasons, that people are not actually as busy as they think. In a storm they find time to stay under cover. “On the first clear day these ‘busy’ people will be out again, risking life and limb to gain a few sec- onds by rushing in and out of traffic.” Baty is about 50 per cent nervousness and 25 per cent bluff. Friday is only one of the seven unlucky days on which yon should | not buy oll stock. Loopholes Lett IOLATORS of the prohibition act, convicted in fed- eral courts, pay an average fine of $170 apiece. This is disclosed by the government report, covering four years. Uncle Sam’s net still has many can swim freely. But the net is working about twice as efficiently as two years ago. Federal convictions in 1923 totaled over 34,000, compared with a trifle under 18,000 in 1921. The trouble with the net is that it catches too many sardines. holes thru which whales A new survey shows Alaskan olf wells more important Dome. This may cause a scramble for government offices. Producers and Fakers ‘NING Egyptians are turning out tons of fake ani: tiques, selling them to tourists attracted to the Nile country by King Tut’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings. A favorite counterfeit is the scarab, representing ancient beetles. Wherever you find the real thing, you find imitations nearby. Wherever producers toil, parasites hover close at hand. In life are two classes—producers and fakers. It seems to be part of nature’s system of checks and balances. than Teapot & Chinese general has refused to marry President Kun’s daughter, indi- cating they heve leap year in China. Milk and Honey EXPORTS from America exceed imports by enough to make a new millionaire every day. This has been the tendency for over a year. In the last 134 years our exports have exceeded imports by 39 billion dollars. We live in the fabled land of milk and honey, even if a lot of us do lose out in the division of wealth. “ox has one advantage in running for president.

We talked an hour—maybe more—on how to play the same. We fought about the many plans of variegated schools; for some had followed Andrew Kan's, and others, Babcock's rules. At last we thought we had them fixed, and started after all We got the Chinese checkers mixed, and built the ancient wall And every time thb hand I'd play was getting well along, I'd throw a tile and Jim would say a cheerful, firm “Mah jongg!" And then we'd do our little tricks to settle what we'd owe. We'd Juggle all the funny sticks of Oriental dough. And—such Is fickle Fortune's whims—my pile was going hard; and soon the growing pile of Jim's was like a lumber yard, But after while a song wa Instead of n's persistent answered, t the eating su that brightened all my brow, “Pung!” the Mrs, hollered, “Chow!” I start!
