i* MALL TOWX STUFF
The days are getting longer
and longer, prices are going
low v' in l 1» v *)• which makes
one’s spirits go higher and
higher
New business houses have
opened up during the past- week
the owners realizing that it will
pay to get in on the ground
flco'-, as the old timers who are
now on thi Outside, are like the
birds, ready to fly Northwards
in the Spring.
The Ivennecott Amusement Co
have added a five piece orches
tra to their Movie Show which
is quite a success at the Copper
Utmoiindis also giving our
movie fans in McCarthy a chance
t * hear some music, to say
nothing about the beautiful
moonlight drive to the camp
and back, When ore has to re
serve 1 is seat a week anead for
the transportation, it speaks
for itself.
Business is always quiet at
this time of year, not only in
our town but all over Alaska,
tho one hears very few com
plaints on that score, the Alask
an business man is always opti
mistic—that is why lie’s here.

I BANDITS in our CITIES
^ (From the Literary Digest)

One of the many climaxes in
i tht so-called “national crime
j wave** was reached when the
i Mexican City for permission to
! employ special guaids to protect
i tiie Consulate against Gotham
g unmen.
This appeal to .bandit-infested
Mexico from bandit-infested New
York added a touch of ironical
minor to a situation against
winch the N ew Voi k pa pet s were
pi olesm g, anti cintiMie to pro
test. in m m l-i t n n n headlines.
< Inc go equals New York in
shooting affairs. hjjJwjy rob
oenes and general lawlessness.
Tiie Piclfio c >is" joins the At
lantic in a display of “the cave
man instincts breaking through
the veneer of modern civilization
"From nearly every city and
hamlet,”’ savs the Los Angeles
Times, ‘‘comes the report that
all former records of criminal
activities have been exceeded,”j
and it frankly admits Los Ange
les’share in “the fact that more
violent eraths occuiei in the
United States in the last, twelve
months than in England,France1
and Italy combined, that then-*
were more murders committed
in Chicago in tlie same period
than in England, Scotland and
*Wales combined, that six mur
ders were committed in the citv
o, New York for everyone in
London”.
To present an “unexagnerated
picture of crime conditions” in
Chicago, the ChicagoTribune re
cently printed a. record of the
hold ups and jobberies reported
in one day of twenty four hours
in the Christmas season. The
record presented is said to be
based on authentic reports from
the police and the day on which
statistics were gathered was
chosen at random.
It was not characterized by any
outstanding crimes such as have
so frequently received front
page headlines. It was just an
ordinary Typical work day with
the bandits. The list showed
nineteen crimes.
