What an opportunity for Oregon citizens to make an investment in the citizen ship of the coming generation! RETAINING TIIK LURK. Tho march of progress is not to drown out with the roar (of motor boats the song yf, (tie picturesque gondolier of tile Venetian canals nor destroy the tranquility dTthese romantic "streets" of water and the alluring balconies over hanging them. An appeal signed by .several hundred Ameri can.. hoys and girls and prominent citizens- and students definitely decided the Italian premier against permitting the motorizing of the Venetian gondolas. "There are some things so holy that no material gain can justify their sacrifice," declared Premier Mussolini upon issuing the order which preserves not only the peace and charm of tho medieval "Queen of the Adriatic" but the picturesque gondolier and his giaeeful gondola. Unon its canals Venice depends for its transportation. Like in other cities of Kumpe the volume of passenger and freight traffic has increased manifold since the time of tho Doges. No doubt the expedition of traffic upon the canals would relievo congestion, and, although the gondolier.! can propel their craft with incredible swiftness, the motori zation of the gondola would obtain that expedition, In the American city the primary objective is to care for the greatest volume of traffic in the quickest possible time.. Hut the American home, since it is not in such close proximity to tho highways as the Venetian home is to the waterways, is not as seiiously menaced by modern street noises. And yet in this must, commercial of the countries of the world, truck traffic in many cities and towns is for bidden in residential boulevards. .'Probably the deciding factor in Venice's traffic prob lem was the conviction that the American tourist wauls tho gondalo and its gondolier. That citizens of the nois iest cities of the world should object to noise in Venice is not paradoxical as it may seem. When Murope loses i'.s old world charm it will lose it", greatest, lure for American visitors and that would be a catastrophe for the tourist, centers of Murope.

Is revealed In Kta tlslics compiled by tho Jo An getea police department. From, 1 to 9 p. m., more bouses and stores arc entered, more loot taken, and more getaways made than in any corresponding period of ull the 24 hours. Hlrangely, too, the report says, tho two hours Immediately fol lowing midnight, when persons ap pear to have the greatest fear of burglars, are when fewer night rob beries arc committed. JJuring October, November, and December, last, iJli'JO burglaries wore reported in Dos Angeles at 6 p. m., when most families were eating dinner, burglary business picked up. By 7 o'clock It was well under way and at 8 it was at flood tide. Then It receded slowly until 3 a. when store robberies be gan to make up for the slump In the residential dLslricla. In the three months, 90 residence rob beries were reported at ti p. in., IIS at 7, and 233 at 8. Ity It p. in., the number had dropped to 145, und at la, when people are returning from ilio first movie show, the number had diminished to 70. At 1 a. m.. when practically the entire city was sleeping, only 28 burglar visits were recorded, and at 'I a- m., only 30. Most of these were in the business districts. At A the number, us a result of raids en stores, had Increased to 70 but at 4 when the milkmen and early risers began to move about, there were only 37. , . , .Of the robberies, 242 occur red ut an unknown hour of the day and (ins at an unknown hour of the night. Private residences appear to yield the richest harvest. Tho .sta tistics show that during the three month period, 074, or a' little less than one hair of tho total burg laries, were committed in resi dences. There wore in apart ment houses und hotels, &01 in business places, H'J in offices. 35 in public buildings, and ti on vessels at anchor in the harbor. The re mainder of the robberies were of miscellaneous character. The favorite mode of entrance is through the front door, tho report says. Out of the 22110 robberies, entrance to 7j0 homes was gained tli rough doors whose locks were picked, while 4 S7 occurred where poisons luul unintentionally left doors or windows unlocked and the burglars entered without meeting any obstacle. Two hundred and forty-six places wore robbed, through bodily entrance and 303 doors and windows were "jim-! mied." A home Is seldom robbed while ! Its tenants are sleeping. Hurglars j do most of their work !n the night but at hour when families are away or so engrossed In their ra- lio or work that (hey do not hear (he robbers. j,im; stock ni:ar ;oAii NADKM, Ore.
