But after all, the police authorities were a trifle 'premature when they congratulated themselves upon baylngr broken Up this dangerous gang, for on the following day a bomb was exploded In front of an i.v Italian grocery store in Monroe street, completely wrecking th nia,. a lug conclusively that either th nil ely that either the police', failed , to arrest all - member nt . h xiana gang or that there Is an ' ether gang operating In this city. ' 1 It has always been puuling to the' police that .In most cases where gang sters were arrested after one of . their gjun - fights or murders no guns' were found upon their person, although there was every reason, to believe that the men arrested had been active partici pants in. the crime. The mystery has at last been solved by one of the settle , ment workers In the gang infested east side districts. He learned that the gang sters were In the habit of employing mentally defective "bors and girls to carry their gun for them, persuading them that this was a great honor con ferred pon them. When starting out on one -w their expeditions the gang sters would keep their youthful helpers near, at hand, and after the fight or murdeVi they would hand 'their Runs to their helpers and confidently submit to arrest, knowing that no telltale weapon could bo found in their possession.

This sea son has seen one of the most prosperous times in the hop industry In this. sec tion of the state. From early sprlngthe hop - growers in the' several districts of Polk county saw Indications of a good year .in spite of the fact ; that ther was a lighter yield in view, and at oncf began remodeling' the - old hop ' house ilU DDIWtflf WW ytlCB. . ..' v .

A warm spring gave the hop vines an exoelhsnt start for , the season's growth and . much attention was ; fly.' en to cultivation , to make sure that,the soil was left in a level oondition In, order-to retain the moisture during the hot weather. : Every condition as to cli mate and. cultivation was In direct sat isfaction to the growers during- the ear ly period, 'but at the start the Tinea did not take the rapid-spurf that com monly -takes place during the early part of' the a growing period... Tee vines', growth. was sluggish and soon indicated that- the general . development period' would fee extended past the usual time. The continuous warm weather': during the latter part of July, however; started the vines and' a continuous growth for many days was the result. -Believing that a long warm period during the sum mer months meant a wet ana rainy fall for ; the ' picking season, most of: ' the growers In the Independence and Buena districts' began to enlanra their drvlnir capacity and advertise- for pickers, in order that the crop might be - handled in less time than usual, in case of Tain ew roois tooic tne place or Old ones, and where there was though ,to he any possible necessity,, new. drying- houses were erected. ; This nrenaration or th tan nop narvest was-. made while 'the farmers were storing away the winter supply -of - hay. , ' Throughout , the . development, period WELFARE WORK" HAS Discontent '; Among ''Employes 5 Has Been Lessened;, Wage Level Not Lowered, Washington, .

' Dr. Otey defends the welfare system as "netting, a higher standard ot com fort for the average employe, to which all industrial plants will gradually be brought, by pressure of public opinion or by" legislation."

Mutual ben efit societies, pension funds, libraries, outing clubs, savings banks, medfeal service and other items are Illustrated. In each , instance, the employes appear to have approved the scheme. - "Along with the welfare work,' how ever," remarks Dr.-Otey, "the employer might show a further recognition of his obligations to society fay trying- to crys tallize the higher 'standards in his own mill or factory-, through legal enact ment. and not by opposing the passage of laws which-tend to secure these benefit for all workingmen." , ' '"OUR; BRIDES?T0-BE KILLED BY LIGHTNING trnites PreiK Leued Wlrt.l " V. f Budapest, Oct, 26 Four v girls Who were' to' have ben married were killed by lightning recently near the Tillage of Nagyvolrad, Hungary. ;.
