Criminals under the influ. ')lce of drugs however, DO AOT
THIS WAV. The drug renders them fearless, utterly without
moral sense, no better than a cruel and pitiless animal. 1'nilei
such an influence tlicv will lake human life with no more
compunction than they would swat a fly, and after the deed
and until the effects of the drug wear off, they have no regrets,
no remorse.
'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

these drugs, and the illLdt traffic in them runs into hundreds

The time has come, whether this man Adams proves to be:
a drug fiend or not, when the people should rise up and demand,
some of the money and energy devoted in trying to suppress
the sales of wines and liquors, be devoted to a suppression of the

rank T. 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.

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

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. . .
