SHEIK AND SHEBA ARE
MOST DANGEROUS
TYPE OF CRIMINALS
The so-called “sheik” and “sheba”
constitute the most dangerous type
of criminal in the United States to
day, according to Prof. Andrew D.
Bruce, of the Northwestern Univer
s sity. Girls in shop, school and of
fice strain perpetually to attract the
young men by exaggerated pep and
flashy dressing. And the boys can
only make a hit with a fast car and
a fat wallet. From this there can
be but one result—crime.
Any man who allows his son or
^ daughter to sport a $5,000 car around
a high school or college campus, is,
in my opinion, an enemy of society.
Instead of being an institution of
learning, the university is a place for
social dsiplay. I know of cases
where fathers have been obliged to
steal to support their sons and their
daughters who were cavorting around
at “proms” and other functions, in
the best of dress. A man's car to
day is a barometer of that man’s re
spectability. How can there be such
a thing as law and order when any
maron, bootlegger or kid can carry
a gun with impunity?
“ONE KILLED HERE” SIGNS
WARN MOTORISTS CHICAGO
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—“One was kill
ed here.”
Four hundred signs bearing this
^ terse forceful warning are being
placed at corners in Chicago where
automobile fatalities have occurred
this year, and when additional fatal
accidents are reported a similar sign
will be placed at the scene.
The signs are being placed by the
Mayor’s Safety Commission and the
Boy Scouts.

CARIBOU PASS DAWSON
IN HEAVY ICE FLOES
DAWSON, Dec. 1.—Sunday after
noon Dawson citizens promenading
along the waterfront were treated to
np upuarial sight. Twn ravihon rows
and two calves were seen struggling
amongst the moving mass of Ice in
the Yukon river. When directly op
posite the White Pass dock the two
cows and one calf managed after a
hard struggle, to scramble upon the
shore ice and was carried slowly
down-stream. When the mother car
ibou saw her offspring drifting away
she leaped into the river again and
when last seen by the spectators she
and her calf were nearing the ship
yards below West Dawson. The
other cow and calf took to the West
Dawson hills, followed by Fisherman
Rocco’s dogs.
All caribou venturing to cross the
Yukon river while it is chpked with
flowing ice do not succeed, as is
shown by the mute evidence frozen in
the ice on the river wherever bands
have crossed late in the season. One
hunter some years ago counted 25
caribou frozen in the ice within a
small area.

fragment is a grain of wheat, said to
be in perfect condition.
PROSPECT OF BUILDING
BIG TOBACCO INDUSTRY
IN ENGLAND ABANDONED
LONDON, Dec. 9.—England will
never be a tobacco growing country
unless the present atstes of tobacco
users change.. The committee of the
treasury department appointed to in
quire into the tobacco industry and
to report on the possibility of grow
unless the present taste of tobacco
said in its report that the English to
bacco had a distinct flavor which is
foreign to the acquired taste of the
consumer and therefore rarely ap
preciated by him. The trade, in
fact, could never be profitable.
The committee does not recom
mend any further expenditure of pub
lic funds toward attempting to build
a large tobacco industry in Great
Britain.

that there is a bread grain shortage
in the world of 574,000,000 bushels,
comprising 401,000,000 bushels of
wheat and 173,000,000 bushels of rye.

WOMAN NINETY YEARS OF
AGE SCRUBBING FLOORS
OTTAWA, Dec. 9.—With the Calder
Act officially at an end and the re

civil servants amazing cases of long
levity were discovered. One woman
more than 90 years of age, had been
scrubbing government floors since
Confederation days. New floors were
laid to replace those worn out, but
she remained. Since the Act went
into force in 1920, a total of 1,200
persons have been retired under this
act.

FOR DRYING WET CROPS
OXFORD, Dec. 9.—The idea recent
ly announced, of drying hay and farm
crops by means of hot air, and expe
riments now progressing through the
medium of the Agricultural Engineer
ing Institute, came from the brain of
Mrs. Owen, wife of Captain J. B.
Owen, director of the institute.
Mrs. Owen suggested the hair
dressers’ use of hot air for hair-dry
ing as a guide to solving the problem
of drying wet crops, and her husband
immediately developed the idea with
satisfactory results.
