SLEUTHS
EXPLAIN
HY CROOKS NOV
T
Many, They Say, Are Men Dissat-
isied With Existing Wages;
Rather Steal Than Work.
Portland in Infested with crooks
because some young men today
won't deliver an honest day's labor
for an honest day'a pay. They are
disgruntled because wartime wages
no longer obtain. They would rather
teal.
So declare two of Portland's best po
lice administrators, John Clark, chief of
inspectoro. and Harry Circle, captain of
detectives.
- "Shipyards paid $6 to 110 a day wages
.during the war. Mow some of these
men would rather loaf and steal than
earn an honest $30 a week," said Circle.
"Others who give us trouble now are
ex-service men who got $30 a month
while some civilians were making two
and three times that much a week. They
are 'sore.' and determined to get their
share of the money by being crooks." ,
OLD MAS BAD COMPANY
"Bad company makes crooks," John
Clark, police veteran, said. "Keep the
boy away from 'pangs.' "
The ordinary crook is no mystery to
experienced detectives. His ways are
stereotyped, they declare.
"A yegg doesn't work between Jobs.
'" He hangs around some resort until he
la "broke.' Then he commits another
crime," Clark explained.
"Once in a while a crook hides In an
obscure house; keeping away from his
companions and usual haunts.
TEGGS IX SHIPYARDS
"Still others live In small towns and
go to the cities to commit their Crimea
"During the war Portland shipyards
sheltered 40 yeggs and 200 ex-convicts.
They had to get a Job and stick, or else
they woul l be picked up by government
or city officers.
"Some yeggs reform usually after
they have been to prison. Five or six
years at hard labor In a penitentiary
causes many a yegg to determine to do
. honest work."
But It's a hard row to hoe. this being
a crook, both officers agree. It doesn't
pay. But learning It through prison ex
perience is the only way some men will
heod, Clark and Circle say.
Special Police in

Ohio railroad yards here.
Two were captured, one wall wounded
and escaped leaving a trail of blood in
the snow, and the fourth got away un-hamied.

DR. E. O. AU8PLUND, MGR.
My practice is limited to
high-class Dentistry only at
Prices Every One Can Afford
V I
A stream never rises higher than its source nor does a business
grow greater than its builder.
Some people have marveled that 1 have built so large a practice
in a few short years, and Dental Supply Houses have commented on
the fact that I buy more and better Dental Supplies than any half
dozen competitors, some of whom have been practicing here for
years.
I am fair enough to admit that I do not deserve special credit
for the feat because the KIND of competition I have had made my
task easy; in fact, I feel that many up-to-date, competent Dentists,
possessed of the requisite skill and training, who would display the
courage born of knowledge and ability, could have done the same
thing and perhaps in less time.
If I seem so far AHEAD of the procession, it is so because others
are SO FAR BEHIND.
I saw the shortcoming of the system employed
here by the old-time dentists, I knew the public put
up with it simply because there was little choice be
tween the methods of the old schools, and I knew that
the two greatest evils of that system were exorbitant
prices and unneccesary pain.
I had the courage of my convictions and I told my story in the
papers and in my office and I MADE GOOD, BECAUSE:
What I told the people was the TRUTH
and I have proved it to them.
The work is giving perfect satisfaction and has stood
the test of time.
