'T'lllS dastardly 'rime at least calls attention to an evil in this country which is almost entirely disregarded by the people at large, and yet which undoubtedly contributes more to the crime wave than any other single factor, with the pos sible exception of liquor.

Swett's. address before a mass meet ing ol local orcliai'Mists, olicred no patent ettre-afl Jo; the fruit situation. But precisely because of that fa' t it 1)10 clear tho atmosphere. 'Atid the atmosphere needed clearing. As is customary dur ing a time of depression, there, had arisen in the valley spirit of dissension and dissatisfaction, complicated by a confusion of tongues. There were almost as many theories advanced as to how to best solve the problem as theru were orchardists; And among n vast 1 majority there was a vague feeling that somehow a miracle must be and COFL) be performed. liyfR. Swett effectively punctured that miracle, balloon. I To 1 brought everyone down to earth. ' Tn a very sane, good humored and convincing fashion, lie made it plain, there is no paitaeca for present ills. Also he demonstrated there is no more 'reason to believe, that from the standpoint of pears tho end of the world has come, than that another milleuium will soon begin. ' AVisdom ami common sense were the outstanding attributes of, thu Californian's speech, lie raised no false hopes, bo in dulged in no speculations of gloom. He simply faced tho facts as they nre, and from them and the wealth of his experience drew his conclusions. IIE emphasized the obvious truth that the recent pear de- K pression, has been merely a part of the general industrial and economic depression the pear industry is bound to come haflk,l(ust as all industries will come back. "Ifrnv rapidly that recovery will ocur and how far it will go depends, upon the pear growers themselves. If they can net together, control supply to demand, improve the qualitv, of the product, and standardize it, that recovery will be more ia id and extensive, than if they can't. ; Which is only another way of saying that the success of the pear business like the success of every other business j depends primarily upon MANAGEMENT. Hut times come in our economic history when even the best management can't avert serious reduction of profits. Such a period the pear industry is now passing through. Prosperity will return.- dust when no one knows, but return it will. Not for every individual in the pear business, or any other business. For while depressions r.ome and go, Old Man Supply and Demand and the law of tho "survival of the fit test' go on forever. Hut it AY ILL return for industry ns a whole. , , X XD when it does, once more it will be plain, there is no short cut to success, no substitute for hard work and brains particularly for brains. Liereasing tho demand for fruit, not allowing tho supply to exceed it, establishing u higher quality and MAINTAINING it, these were the main points stressed by Mr. Swett. Noth ing startling or new. Hut effectively disposing of the illusion that there IS anything startling or new, that can' come to the industry's immediate rescue. "(io baek to first principles, keep your Ifcads and Use them" that was the Swett message in a nut shell. Nothing sensational but in our judgment jnst about what te valley needed, at Ibis particular time. Monilay Thls is the 24th day of thu leu p year, and the ladles appear to shun their opportunities. Only two mar riage licenses have been issued this year by ihe county clerk. It still looks like ruin.

Rosa Helen Ricchebuono, I French-Canadian sister of n nun and two .Catholic priests, lived' ob scurely with her hard-working husband Bernard, In a cheap flat on Manhattan's dark, noisy Third avenue, near 43rd street.' When Bernard would go out evenings to solicit Insurance, big, broad -faced Rosa would wave a loving fare well to him. from the window. One stifling summer night last year Bernard had gone out nnd Rosa, after a bath, was puttering about her kitchen in a loose gown. Through tho open door .strode a great, , bullish - man, says "Time" .Magazine. - j "What do you want?" asked Rosa, pulling her gown about her. "Vou know what I want . . . You waved at me." "Get out. I'm not that kind of woman.'' Tho intruder twisted Itosa Ric- chebuono's arm, forced her against a wall, tried to throw her on the bed. She tried to scream. The man, a policeman from the vice squad, clapped his hand over her mouth and snapped: "Keep quiet. You're under arrest." Excited neighbors buzzed about as other police arrived, dragged Mrs. Ric chebuono to the station house on a charge of prostitution. For two days and nights Mrs. Ricchebuono was locked . up while Bernard scurried around, trying frantically hut fiitllely to raise $500 bail. .Meanwhile a probation officer had investigated the case, found no evidence of vice. On the third day Rosa Ricchebuono, the picture of flat, florid respectability, was arraigned before Magistrate. Jesse Sitbermann. Magistrate Silber mann jauntily announced that, if ho had to do it over, lie would deal with both cases just the same. But after Mr. Kresel had grilled him In secret for many an hour, be emerged nervously tugging at his collar and asking: "Where can I get a drink of water?'' Friends pleaded with him to re sign rather than contest ouster proceedings. The score of missing, suspended, and resigning judges mounted. Magistrate Henry M. R. Goodman, whoso bank accounts were under scrutiny, resigned "for the sole reason of ill health" 114 hours be fore his public hearing was sched uled to begin. Magistrate Louis B. Brodsky, accused of conduct ing real estato and stock dealings while on tho bench, was sus pended. He announced he would fight for his job beforo the ap pellate division of tho supreme court. Similar charges were lodg ed against Magistrate Jacob Kil perln in Brooklyn. Magistrate Ab raham Rosenbluth, long awaiting investigation, was reported III In Miami. ; Another feature of the week In j the Kresel Inquiry was the revela- I tlon that since 1926, no less than! 77 young girls had been Illegally committed to Bedford reformatory as wayward minors by magistrates In women's court. Mayor James John ("Jimmy") Walker's public reaction to the vice Investigation was, for the most part, passive, lie did sum mon civic leaders to City hall to warn them that the wholesale i hurges against his police depart- i ment threatened a complete break- down of police moralo and the re- turn of a "wido-open" town.

I STUDEBAKER pioneer and pacemaker IN FREE WHEELING, the greatest advancement since the electric' starter, the pioneering spirit of Studebaker reaches the high point ' of 79 years of pacemaking tradition. Free Wheeling with positive gear control harnesses momentum saves gasoline and oil, saves chassis strain, and makes driving a continuous, de lightful thrilL The two finest cars in America Pierce-Artow and Lincoln have followed Studebaker's lead and adopted Free Wheeling. All cars must eventually offer it. But Free Wheeling is only one of a long list of today's fine car essen tials which Studebaker pioneered. Studebaker introduced the full-power muffler, greatly reducing engine back-pressure and thus increasing effective horsepower. Studebaker was first to provide ball-bearing spring shackles, which can never squeak nor rattle but which permit unhampered spring and shock-absorber action. Sealed in lubricant, they need no attention whatever for 20,000 miles at a time. Studebaker was first to eliminate 90 per cent of motor roar with a car buretor silencer. Formerly motor roar was thought to emanate from the exhaust Studebaker engineers isolated it as carburedon noise and hushed it. - Studebaker brought out a Light Six when others in its field were fea turing Fours a Straight Eight when other large makers were committed to Sixes. Snidebakcr pioneered the following advancements when 82 to 100 of odier makers did not offer them Timken bearings, the Lanchester vibration damper, steering-ignition lock, hydrostatic gas gauge, balloon tires, oil filter, engine heat indicator on dash, chromium"plating, positive furl pump, one-piece steel core steering wheel. Thus has Studebaker, pioneef and pacemaker, merited the outstanding leadership it holds today. . .
