TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SEPTEMBER J 30F1924' ONY ARRESTS INI DISTRICT IN NEW WORRY FOR CONGRESS 16 Out of Every 100 Residents In District of Columbia Face Charges BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Sept 30.—Six teen out of every 100 residents of the District of Columbia were ar rested for something or other in the last year. These are official police figures. « They mean another investigation when Congress convenes Congress is the district’s city council, or board of supervisor* It is conceded by everybody that something must be the matter with any place where nearly a fifth of the entire population gets put in jail >n the course of a year. Congress will be asked to find out what the matter is. • # • The statistics mean more than may appear at first glance. For every adult male resident of the District there are four and a fraction women and children. (Just waht the fraction repre sents the census bureau doesn’t say —persons, perhaps, who have had their tonsils, adenoids or appen dices removed. Four-and-a-frac tion is the record, anyway.) » * » Now, certainly not nearly ns many women as men a v e arrested, Constipation can ruin your health get permanent relief with Kellogg’s Bran When clean and clear, the intestine is converting wholesome food into vigorous health. But when clogged by constipation, it generates poisons from the obstructed food that can lead to many serious diseases. Kellogg’s Bran sweeps, clc-ns and purifies the intestine. It has a natural, healthy action. It works exactly as nature acts. If eaten regularly, it is guaranteed to relievo permanently the most chronic cases of constipation, or your grocer will return your money. Results with Kellogg’s Bran arc sure, for Kellogg’s is ALL bran. Nothing but ALL bran can be 100 per cent effective. That is why Kellogg’s Bran, cooked and krumbled, is endorsed by doctors everywhere. Eat it and you need never take another habit-forming drug or pill. at hkS CHURCHWELL’S 100 HATS AT New cr All Smart I P I '&■ All Worth < / i 1 More! \ i 4 i —Second Floor WINTER LAWN GRASS plant successfully a lawn.

So most of the arrests must have been made among a fraction less than one-sixth of those wno live in Washington and its environs. TaUe that into account, and ii becomes apparent that a grown-up male resident of the nation’s capi tal has quite a job on bis hands to keep out of the law's clutches at least once a year. * » * A large proportion of the arrests were for misuse of the automobibe. This suggests the question of plans for reducing the number of motor cars fatalitties. And this, in turn, leads up to the interesting, if pessimistic, conclu sion of the Washington police that though such tragedies may be re duced in number, a heavy automo bile death roll is inevitaable, any way -The Washington police theory is that the public has come to accept auto deaths as a development of the times. Science can prolong life for awhile. It can fight the while plague. It provides vaccination. It has se- I rums against diphtheria and ty- I phoid. The X-ray is efficacious in j cancer cases, sometimes. , But science can’t avert death, from some cause or other, in the end. Just so with the automoblie. It may be regulated a little but it will do its work ultimately. That’s the view of the Washing ton police. , • * » Two per cent of the District of Columbia’s population were arrest- ’ Kellogg’s Bran, cooked and krum bled, should bo eaten regularly—at least two tablespoonfuls daily—in chronic cases, with every njeal. Ypu will enjoy eating it. Kellogg’s Bran has a wonderful flavor, a delicious nut-like flavor. And this flavor is an exclusive Kellogg achievement. There are many ways to enjoy Kellogg’s Bran, cooked and krumbled. Eat it with milk or cream as a cereal. Sprinkle it over other cereals. Cook it with hot cereals. Look for the reci pes on every package and try it in muffins, griddle cakes, bran bread, etc. Bring back your health with Kellogg’s Bran. Start to-day! Every member of your faiaily should eat it. The leading hotels and clubs serve Kellogg's Bran in individual pack ages. It is made in Battle Creek. Sold by all grocers. ed last year for intoxication. When itla xvnsidcred how many people take a drink in proportion to the number who get drunk, and hew many get drunk get caught, ..the only! fair conclusion is that the dis trict is rather wet. SOUTHERN COTTON INVESTORS WARNED NEW YORK, Sept. 30,- —The New York Cotton Exchange Monday night issued a statement warning investors in the South of’the danger as losing millions of dollars in the next few months due to the opera tions of irresposible firms who are flooding the mails with literature describing large profits to be made by trading in cotton at this time. Last year, the exchange estimated so-called cotton brokers of this typo fleeced the South of more than .$5,- 000,000. In an effort to prevent a repeti-; tion of such losses, the cotton ex change, in co-operating with local au thorities, is warning traders in the South to make certain of the stand ing and responsibility of cotton bevk erage firms before entrusting mon ey to them. GA PUREBRED JERSEY BREAKS STATE RECORD ATHENS, Sept. 30. — (By The Associated Press) —According to F. W. Bennett, professor of dairy hus- I bandry at the State College of Agri -1 culture, and supervisor of advanced registry in the stae, “Maid’s Little Sue,” a pure bred Jersey cow owned by J. H. Hooks, of Warthen, has broken the state record for produc tion and has qualified for the silver medal offered by the American Jer sey Cattle Club.

Humphries of Acworth, that held this honor with her record of 528.89 pounds of but ter fat. The herd of J. H. Hooks of War ten is said to be one of the finest in the state, a number of his animals now holding state records and raid ing with the best producers in the country, according to Mr. Bennett.

HUNS BECBFB For 15 Years He Had Refused to Utter a Word Bare ly Escaped Rope STOCKTON, Calif., Sept. 30. “Silent” Carson, former notorious bandit, is dead. He died maintain ing the silence he had preserved for fifteen years and which had saved him from the gallows. Charles Carson, whose real name was Corcoran, had a long prison record, beginning in New York, when he was 9 years old. Other terms in prison followed. Whije confined in the Folsom, Calif., peni tentiary in 1907 he was one of se ven convicts who captured Captain John R. Murphy and Gurad Jolly and used them as shields in an at tempted escape. Murphy and Jol ly, as well as all of the convicts were wounded, four of the prisoners fa tally. Carson was sentenced to be hang ed for his part in this affair and in September, 1909, while occupying, a cell in the condemed row, waiting execution, he suddenly stopped talk ing. No intelligible word ever was heard to pass his lips again. He was subjected to many tests by alienists and finally in January, 1913, was declared insane aand com mitted to the hospital for the insane here, where he died Wednesday. The insanity verdict provided that if he ever recovered his santity, the sentence of death would be carried out. Even the announcement in February, 1917, that Gov. Hiram W Johnson had commuted his sentence to life inmprisonment in case of re covery, failed to bring a single syllable from him. Main building of the New Yorx police recreation camp burned, be cause cops failed to catch the fire in time. Dear Mother “I know George and Alice both need Cod Liver Oil—and need it badly as all thin, puny, run down kids do. But it gives me the most horrible shivers just to think of them taking the horrible stuff?” “Instead of the nasty tasting, vile smelling oil itself why don’t you be up to date and give them McCoy’s Cod Liver Oil Tablets? It’s the new way to take Cod Liver Oil— they arb as easy to take as candy— won’t upset their stomach and sure ly do help sick, ailing people to get well again.” “Have pity on the poor kids, mother, and take n y'advice—yon can get the origimff arid genuine McCoy’s Cod Liver Oil Tablets at Nathan Murray, Druggist, or How ell’s Pharmacy, or any real drug store —and 60 tablet cost only 60 cents. Be sure and’get McCoy’s, mother—every one says they do help the sick kiddies to grow strong and robust.” Love to all, hastily— Jeanette. - ' ’ ” _J®TW ® r- CStITt I ’ 1 fOX.
