THE UNDERWORLD "400" Some things in this world are a bit puzzling to a ma'i T.ho izr.'t cn to everythinff. Here is a little story to provt: it. Put before you read it, consider these fairly well-known facts; Police officers and detectives are maintained to ar rest .lawbreakers. Carrying loaded revolvers is against tlie law.lSo is making whisky or beer. So is the selling of these commodities. So is murder. Got those? All right. Now lor the story. In Chicago the other day there was buried a gentleman named Iombardc, who had been shot down, in bright daylight, at the world's busiest street corner. LomUtrdo was a gunman, gangster, beer runner, and so on. His funeral, consequently, was far gaudier than most law abiding citizens ean ever aspire to. There were 12 pallbear ers,' in tuxedoes. The very cream of Chicago's underworld was present. The crowning glory lay in the fact that Al Capone himself was present, iii person. This great man mingled with the throngs, surrounded by an alert bodyguard. He was affable and peaceable. During all of this, of course, throngs of police and detectives stalked about through the crowds. It is hard to make out just what they were doing there, but they went, anyway. A reporter who attended re marks that all the mourners shook hands with their left hands. The right hands, it seems, were reserved for the sudden use of pistols, should that become, advisable. Now, viewing this story in the light of the facts about police and lawbreakers detailed at the beginning, what do you make of all of this? Capone is the -greatest gunman, beer run ner, extortioner and vice king in Chicago unless all nw;i have lied about him. Present with him were hosts of lessor criminals. There wert enough guns at the funeral to sto.k an arsenal. And, likewise, there were enough police them to handle a battle of Gettysburg. Yet nobody was arrested or bothered. When Capone had viewed the remains suffi ciently he went away in peace. So did his followers. The police manfully resisted any temptation to spoil the occa sion "by making arrests. What's it all about? Are gun men ik cliiRA hnvnnd r.ho lutv? lu a ci.u ...;iu; .. -. - -- !,. fl,. .. i ... ii.ingo. nrc uic em Helpless.' bolve this little puzzle, so vexing to us average men, and you 'will solve the whole puzzle of America's crime tvaves. You won't solve it, however, unless you ask a good many questions dealing with politicians, high-pressure law yers, legal technicalities and a court system: so antiquated that it creaks to high heaven. - YONCALLA PEOPLE BUY TROXEL RANCH MPAQ WlMrMFQTrD V" " " ' " I, ;...,7, , . . ,"" I" .i0 of the generaL population. fl. 1..

Although he had been racing for fifty years he failed to win a classic until last year when his "Beam" won the Oakes.

The Earl himself succeeded to the title 5(1 years ago. The English peerage rarely, if ever, has fur nished such an unusual situation. Hers On Business j C. H.
