Youth must be served During the last few years vast imis a popular slogan, but government provements have been made in motor more than 2,179,000 francs (more than $80,000 at current rates). Not a single armored car, machine gun, or even a mask or pistol was seen during the execution of the daring crime. The robbers, directed by an unusually clever master mind, used their wits instead of lethal;weapons. On a ^Thursday, fifty branches of 6 certain large Paris bank in forty- Seven different cities received a letter in the morning mail from either the Paris or Lyons office authorizing the cashing of a check for 75,000 francs made outirf favor of a bearer. All of the payees were given fictitious names and supplied with forged documents to prove their identities. The following morning the payees arrived at the various benches, each accompanied by two accomplices who waited outside in an automobile. When the checks were cashed, the bandits leisurely drove away. Not all the sorties were successful; had they been the net haul would have been 3,750,000 francs. At Bourges, Caen, Calais, Cambrai, Chateauroux, Douai, Le Havre, Montpellier, Soissons, Trouville and one or two other places, cashiers refused to make immediate payment and asked the payees to return later. Needless to say, none returned. At Sedan and five other towns the cashiers were suspicious and called police. Ten were caught and arrested. Police believe the headquarters and "the brain" of the mob are somewhere in the Montmarte quarter of Paris. Woman Assists Husband Working on Scaffolds Carlinville, 111.--Mrs. W. A.

There is a fascinating but deplorable angle to "grudge" fights of childhood and maturity. They leave scars which never completely heal as participants meet in later years. There are symptoms of a "grudge" in the current controversy over the Senate bill for reorganization of government departments.
