While state highway patrolmen, a
National Guard company and county
officers sought the mob in an ef

members hanged the negro, described

and shotgun wounds.
HOLLAND, Mich. (UP) Ten times
as many wooden shoes are being made
end sold now as were several years
ago, Chester Van Tongeren, operator
of the only wooden shoe factory In
the country, reported today.
Most of the output of his work
shop, however, goes to tourists. A
few persons of Dutch and Belgian
descent still use the sabots to work
around the barn or In other jobs.
Van Tongeren was a Junior at Hope
college when he entered the World
war. In 1018 he opened his shoe fac
tory on the second floor of his fath
er's tobacco shop. Friends predicted
the venture would fall.
Beginning with five assistants, Van
Tongeren now employes more than
100 men. The work Is not limited to
wooden shoes. Souvenirs of every kind
leave the Holland factory dally for
every city In the United States. They
range from ash trays to miniature
windmills. All are made of wood.
Van Tongeren views the success of
his venture as not phenomenal.
"It's Just a matter of bringing out
something new and being everlasting
ly on the alert for new ideas," he
said.

HOTEL DEADBEATS
FACE HARDER LIFE
UNDER NEW SETUP
CHICAGO (UP) Deadbeats, bad
check passers, blll-sklppers and other
fraud perpetrators are going to have
a much harder time working their
rackets on American hotels.
Major hotels, hotel associations and
law enforcement agencies have been
linked with a teletypewriter chain
working 24 hours dally to flash alarms
and warnings of fraud, theft and
crime and full descriptions of per
sons who commit them.
The annual loss to the hotel In
dustry through these crimes has been
estimated at $11,000,000. To reduce
this total, W. J. Oellen. president of
the Hotel Men's Credit association of
Chicago, promoted the teletypewriter
system, enabling hotels to Isolate and
catch crooks.
Olelen enlisted hotels In New York.
Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco.
Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, and other
cities to bear the cost. Additional
outlets will be Installed as soon as
equipment and funds are available.
Credit Information can be sent In
stantly over the country.
"Credit references can be verified
almost Instantly through the tele
typewriter," Olelen said. "If we wish
to check on a person's home town
standing before giving him cash we
can easily do so ny a query on the
teletypewriter to the member hotels
In that city. This will eliminate many
misunderstandings and time taken up
checking by mail.
"The system will work both ways.
In favor of the legitimate guest who
wants a check cashed and who does
not hold a credit card with the hotel
at which he Is staying, and against
the fraud and confidence man. who
have cost hotels millions of dollars."

SAN FRANCISOO. (UP) Cousin
marriages and other consangulnoua
unions are NOT necessarily produc
tive of either feeble minded ness or
Insanity In children of such wed
lock, Dr. Olga Brldgman of the Uni
versity of California clinic here says
she haa proven.
Her tests range back longer than
10 years, she pointed out, and they
determine the marriage of cousins
tenda to Improve racial stock If the
cousins are of high intelligence. Dull,
abnormal or feeble Intelligence tends
to retrogression In the children.
Her observation has been that be
cause the higher stock usually re
gards social custom with deference,
marriage of such persona of close
blood la rs re. Poorer social types
pay little attention to any consider
ation, hence mere mathematical force
of their numbers reflects a poor
showing for close marriages.
Disabilities may be exaggerated tn
children of suoh unions, but like
wise so may abilities, believes Dr.
Brldgman.
