The president of a bis, New York

-The following is a quotation from

aW he taught honesty is the best pol¬
icy, if we teach it as Industriously as
,ve have long been teaching some of
our untrue doctrines.’ . . . The ex¬
pert :e of this company in paying dis-
Imnes'.v losses forty years convinces
me that what is needed in this world
is tin teaching of honesty rather than
preaching of It. Our preaching has
resulted in honesty being regarded as
a ‘goody-goody’ doctrine, to be eulog¬
ized by Sunday school teachers and
the public schools up to the fourth
reader. No real effort is made to im¬
press young people with the practical
benetit to be derived from honesty as
an asset. Anyone can acquire it, and
it will prove an inexhaustible resource
throughout life. Dishonesty starts
when the individual determines upon
a course lie knows is wrong; but the
impression is not deep enough to hold
bim—he has not been sufficiently
taught if children were sufficiently
taught honesty from the beginning,
and continuously, it would not be so
easy for men and women to depart
from honest ways, and get into the
trouble dishonesty always brings. I
hope you will elaborate on this theme
in subsequent issues.”
I am regarded as a tiresome scold
by a good many because I have al¬
ready elaborated on the theme in many
previous Issues. 1 believe we should
teach honesty is the best policy as per¬
sistently and continuously as we teach
the Christian religion.
Honesty is not a "goody-goody” or
Sunday school doctrine; it is the
soundest article in the philosophy of
experience, (iood conduct is the sur¬
est and safest method of insuring suc¬
cess and comfort in life. Good con¬
duct pays: and it is easier in the long
run than bad conduct
I have taught this all my life, and
shall teach it hereafter.

A country or a man may progress
too rapidly. It was overprogress ttiat
caused Ivar Kreuger, head of the
Swedish match trust, to commit sui¬
cide, arid leave behind the record of
a scoundrel.
It was overprogress on tli part of the
United States that brought us to the
present great difficulties. Progress is
one of the best principles, but the de¬
tails must lie attended to with the old
details of caution and common sense.
If the foundation is not built on solid
rock, there will be a toppling.
Somewhere in the hymn book or
Bible there is a line about the sure
foundation. One must have it in
everything, if he hopes to get along
as comfortably grid safely as is pos¬
sible.

DILUNGER KILLED
BY FEDERAL SQUAD
Trapped in Chicago and
Shot to Death.
Chicago. John Dillinger, America’s
most notorious modern desperado, was
trapped and shot and billed by twelve
federal agents ns he left the Biograph
theater, 243.1 North Lincoln avenue,
after watching a motion picture of un¬
derworld life.
Positive identification of Dillinger
was made by the federal agents
through finger prints.
Twelve government men, aided by
five members of the Fast Chicago. Ind.,
police department, ended the career of
the notorious killer, jail breaker and
bank robber.
Hunted for months as the nation’s
most dangerous killer and bank rob¬
ber, Dillinger apparently was taken
completely by surprise. He fell in an
alley crossing the sidewalk four doors
south of the theater, a sizable pool of
blood marking the place where lie died.
Two women passing by during the
s hooting were wounded, neither seri¬
ously, by stray bullets.
Tlie federal men, commanded by
Melvin 11. Purvis, chief of the United
States division of investigation in t’hi-
cago, had lain In wait for their quar¬
ry. hiding in parked automobiles and
in doorways, for more than two hours
before Dillinger appeared.
Dillinger was shot three times, one
bullet passing through his head and
the others piercing his back and
passing near the heart.
He drew a ,38 automatic pistol upon
seeing the agents start to close in, and
was running backward, attempting to
aim tlie weapon, when the bullets
crashed into him.
The notorious desperado had resort¬
ed to facial surgery to disguise him¬
self and it was only by his piercing
eyes—described by crime-fighting ex¬
perts as “the eyes of a born killer”—
that he was recognized.
In addition to facial alterations, he
had dyed his hair a jet black from its
natural sandy shade and he wore gold-
rimmed glasses.
Medical examiners said after exami¬
nation of the body that Dillinger had
made attempts to obliterate bis finger
prints to prevent identification. They
said either acid or surgery had been
used in the attempt.
Fourteen Perish in Bus
Wreck at Ossining, N. Y.
Ossining, N. Y.—A spectacular bus
crash here claimed at least 14 lives.
Twenty-three persons were injured.
The bus, speeding out of control, con¬
taining men, women, and children,
plunged off a ramp over the New York
Central tracks 35 feet down Into a
lumber yard. The gasoline tank ex¬
ploded and many of the victims were
burned In the wreckage. Lumber
caught fire and the yard virtually was
destroyed.
The bus was one of eight that had
been chartered to take members of
the Young Men's Democratic league
of the Twentieth Assembly district,
Brooklyn, to a baseball game at Sing
Sing prison. The passengers Included
a party of political workers, their
wives, and children, and relatives.
Milwaukee Judge Refuses
to Enjoin Rundle Co.
Milwaukee, Wis.—Federal Judge F.
A. Geiger denied a temporary injunc¬
tion sought by the government under
tlie national recovery act to restrain
the Bundle Manufacturing company of
Milwaukee from selling its product for
less than the code price of the plumb¬
ing industry.
The action grew out of a contract,
made with Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
prior to the passage of tlie recovery
act. The Bundle company is alleged
to have continued to live tip to this
contract though the prices Involved
are below those in the plumbing indus
try code adopted in August, 1933.
WASHINGTON BRIEFS

Hungary Hat Ffth Shower
Budapest.—A freak storm traveled
across Hungary, rooting np trees, un¬

damaged crops in various sections, and
near Tnrpa it rained fish—apparently
sucked up from the Danube.

DADE COUNTY TIMES: AUGUST 2, 1934
Made
Florida Everglades, Set
Tropical
Visitors From
Approval by congress of the vast
Everglades area in Florida as n na¬
tional park opened the way for de¬
velopment of an interestingly tropi¬
cal project which will rank In size
and significance along with the Yel¬
lowstone and Yosemlte attractions.
Known by most persons only as
the home of the Seminole Indians
and as Ideal territory for hunting
and fishing, the Everglades park
holds a strange lure for the adven¬
turer and the student of nature, once
they have forced their way into the
pristine interior.
Tlie park area is about twice the
size of Rhode Island, embracing more
than 2,000 square miles. It offers an
incalculably valuable study of plant
and animal life in a distinctly trop¬
ical environment. Only a few scien¬
tists and a sprinkling of the more
venturesome hunters among Flori¬
dans fully realize the importance of
what the Everglades offer.
It sounds like fairyland fiction to
say that the Everglades contain or¬
chids so large that they have to be
carried by four men, but that is the
report of a scientist, Dr. John K.
Small, head curator of the New York
Botanical garden, and other respon¬
sible persons who have made their
way into this exotic jungle area
Doctor Small, whose interest in the
Everglades began more than thirty
years ago, found orchids there with
stems 15 feet long, on which were
growing ns many as 1,000 flowers
More than 25 varieties of orchids
grow there. Many carloads of them
have been shipped to northern mar¬
kets during the past few years. It
Is estimated that some of tlie plants
are 500 years old.
A large part of this area consists
of thousands of islands and lakes
and winding waterways teeming
many kinds of fish. One
tic explorer, impressed with tlie
heavily carpeted lands, said 10,000
persons could march through there
and leave no footprints.
Mangrove trees there, many of
which reach a height of 100 feet,
have a strange beauty. There is a
forest of them which covers 100
square miles. Coconuts, of course,
are plentiful, and it is an odd fact
