VJHO knowa the name of tha
current Public Enemy No. 1?
(Thla writer didn't know until ha
read lant nlsht'a paper.)
It aoema that ho la one Bonny
Dlckaon, and he has a bloudo wlto.
(Bloudoa probnbly don't contort
with criminals any mora than
brunottes, but when thoy do the
reporters play It up.) Tha Dlck
i aona were soon and recognised on
' Wodnoxlay nt Excolnlor Springs,
Mo.
The usually careful reporters
failed to mention tha crime that
won them their unsavory emi
nence, nnd thla writer doesn't
know.
QUESTION: Are super-crlmlnftlt
scarcer than a fow years ago,
or are we just paying less atten
tion to auch things?
(Mnybe the world Is getting ao
full of NATIONAL crlmlnala,
bullies nnd swnshbucklora that we
no longer give much thought to
more Individuals.)
OPKAKINO of crime, threo por
aona hava boon murdored In
the last ten years within a 25-mlla
radius of The Dalles two of them
cortalnly and the third probably
tiy hitchhikers. ' .
Thla lends The Dalles Chronlole
to offor this advlco: "NEVER pick

the Day's News
up a hitchhiker." . . ... ., .
.
TT'S sound advice, but Isn't easy
to follow. One fools like a skunk
driving along all day In a swift
and comfortable car and refusing
to pick up people walking beside
the rond.
CPBAKINO again ot criminals, a
poor devil back In Indiana lost
his leg a number ot years ago,
nnd has since been going about on
a woodon one. The other day a
couple of slick bandits dropped
Into his store just ns he .wns clos
ing up, looted his cash register,
nnd when leaving decided thoy'd
better wing their victim so "he
couldn't got help too quickly.' .
So they shot him IN HIS
WOODEN LEO I That's once
whon misfortune was tinged faint
ly with luck.
fHIS question Is being asked
constantly: "Are crlmlnnls
smart, or are they dumb?"
By way ot anawer, try Imagin
ing how It would aeem to ba
HUNTED all the time, thinking
every other man yon met was a
cop In disguise and expecting
every person you talked to to rec
ognise you and raUe the hue and
cry. .' ., . . i .i
After a few months of It, you'd
probably decide that crime Is
pretty dumb.

Incloponrionce.
The farmer la Walter PIppel.
Col. 0. F. Ohlson, president ot the
Alaska Rural Rehabilitation cor
poration, which dlrecta the federally-sponsored
colony, said PIppel
had made $11,000 In the last two
years.
The dispute Is over whether
PIppel on operate Independently
of the colony's marketing coopera
tive. He and three other farmers
recently bcame embroiled with the
colony management on this Issue
as PIppel did his own marketing
at Anchorage and othor Alaska
railroad points.
The corporation contends that
Plppel's original contract with tha
government, by which he came
here from - Hennepin county,
Minn., In 1935, bound him to re

setup. Otherwise, according to the
contract, he la free to sell or dis

Ford, who has been accused by
