4 Call at my Expense
In the dead of night, thieves sev
eral times broke in and rifled the
cash register of J. E. Griffin, pho
tographer in Monroe, La. So Griffin
set a trap, rigged up an affair and
exploded a flashlight and snapped a
camera shutter when the cash, regis
ter drawer was opened. It worked.
He got a good picture of the thief.
' Shrewd business men will see In
this a suggestion for the office or
factory with a safe tempting to burg
lars. The cost of installation would
be small, and the camera could be
hidden so the burglars could not find
it and destroy the film.
In most cases the flashlight alone
would do the work scare 'away the
intruder, under the belief that a
burglar alarm had been set off.
Plattsmouth banks and business
firms might use a similar device,
eliminating the flashlight, for day
light holdups. The camera could be
worked by the cashier pressing a but
ton, bulb or lever with his foot.
It wouldn't stop a holdup, but it
would provide the police with ample
identification of the crook. The
frightened victim rarely is able to
remember a good description of the
thief. Lack of such description is
generally the worst handicap the po
lice have.
If you are ever help up, the most
important thing is to study the ban
dit's build, walk and physical pecul
iarities that will help identify him.
Remember that.
One of the foxiest traps ever set
for criminals was rigged up by a
banker in a small western town. He
fixed a trap door in front of the pay
ing teller'3 window. When a holdup
stuck a gun through the wicket and
demanded the money, the teller mere
ly touched a lever with his foot, the
trap door opened and Mr. Bandit
dropped like a shot into a nice cage
down cellar. Sounds like Charlie
Chaplin.
Another unique trap that we re
call, consisted of hooking one wire of
a powerful electric current to the
safe and the other wire to a copper
plate imbedded in the floor in front
of the safe. The safe blower made
the circuit when he knelt down to
twirl the dial. He had a weak heart,
so the current electrocuted him.
A great deal of inventive ingen
uity is employed by criminals. Ar
rayed against this is other inventive
ness to checkmate the crooks. On the
law of averages, the protection keeps
well ahead of criminal devices.
This has been illustrated in the
perfection of safes and alarms to an
almost 100 per cent burglar proof
conditions. Safe blowing, for this rea
son, is becoming a lost art. That's
why we have so many daylight hold
ups. The yeggmen have turned to the
pistol, finding their diamond drills.
screws" and "soup" in effective.
The odds are always against the
lawbreaker.
:o:
PURELY STATISTICAL
Twenty-five year ago there were
no automobiles in the world. Today
in the United States alone there are
13,000.000 of them in daily use.
This is the greatest revolution in
history it means that 52,000,000
wheels are spinning over our na
tional highways or about one wheel
for every two inhabitants.
No such a change in a nation's
habits has ever before been chroni
cled in so short a space of time. Try
to imagine the effect of this general
speeding up and multiplicity of
wheels on the psychology of the peo
ple. The average pace of human trav
el has advanced from about ten to
nearly thirty miles an hour.
That is to say, our thoughts, our
nerves, our hopes, bur fears, our ac
tions, our very lives are moving three
times as fast as they were a quarter
century ago. And every day we are
making two wheels turn where one
wheel turned before.
The law of relativity is inexorable.
In throwing our lives into high we
are stepping on the flight of time
The days are shorter, the hours are
passing more rapidly. Our business,
our pleasures, our ambitions are all
set to the speed limit; and when no
one's looking we furtively exceed it
The tendency, too, is for a greater
number of wheels, for more speed
As time goes faster we have to go
faster to maintain our lead; and
in doing so we once again increase
the relative flight of time. Thus by
the automobile, through the law of
relativity," we are well on the way
to the annihilation of distance.
When we annihilate distance we
shall at the same time annihilate
ourselves. We will then all go up
heaven, as did Elijah of old,' each in
his chariot of fire.

Diplomats generally ?Sm ta r$
that France has, out-maneuvered thf
English In the field of international
politics since the, signing of tiie armi
stice, and there is little doubt of the
fact that, if France' was not actually
pleased by the German default in re
parations payment, it was the idea of
Paris all along to seize the German
coal and iron lands. This, obviously,
was the purpose of reducing Ger
many to a comparative national un
importance and correspondingly ele
vating France.
France appears, therefore, politi
cally stronger today than any nation
on the continent and for these rea
sons: The invasion of the Ruhr, al
though its benefits are still proble
matical; the fact that Italy is on the
side of France, and the fact that
France has supported Turkey against
England.
England, on the other hand, has
followed the traditional policy of
preventing any single power from
becoming too strong in continental
Europe, and, if England is not deep
ly perturbed at France's present
predominance, then English diplo
macy, unchanged for centuries, has
undergone a vital transformation.
One single fact, however, stands
out inevitably. France is weak where
no nation that aspires to power
should be weak; economically and fi
nancially. And this, it appears, is
just where England is strong, but
not as strong as once she was.
This may explain a great deal with
reference tq the debts settlement.
Questionless, England wanted to
feel", since she has lost her ally, that
America Would be with her if ever
the time came to demand payment
of France, much in the same man
ner as Paris is now demanding pay
ment of Germany. American support,
be it remembered, even though such
support is only moral, is the most
powerful of all international forces
now to be reckoned with in settle
ing monetary problems.
And France, too. is not finding' it
at all easy sailing, for she is en
countering the strenuous opposition
of the communists the bolshevist
element.
This element is not of so little ac
count as the French would have us
believe it is. for .bolshevism has not
topped in Russia: nor in disorganiz
ed Germany, but has spread -into
ranee; making : dissatisfied that
large class of peasant farmer and
labor which is the very, life of the
republic.
Therefore, at best, the result of
the diplomatic , maneuvers of Paris
have been to go from the frying pan
into the fire, and; since England has
washed her hands entirely of the
Ruhr situation, the outcome still re
mains , more than a" little doubtful.

mestic relations, today ruled that a
