BANDITIS IN AUTOS ' LoO KAINSAS BANKSI MASKED ROBBERS IN TOURING CARS HAVE RAIDED 30 IN 90 DAYS. t I t EPIDEMIC THROUGHOUT WEST Well-Organized Gang of Motor Pirates Ternp~riing Country Bankers, and Farmers? With Fat Pocketbooks 9 Fear the Marauders. t Topeka, Kan.-Always up to date t and sometimes- spectacular, Kansas 2 has a new claim to fame. The banks I Of the Sunflower state are being rob bed by a well organized band of motor pirates. Country bankers are frankly terror-stricken and the . city bankers are growing uneasy. Farmers with fat rolls are tossing uneasily in their beds. So far the record shows that within the last three months over 30 bhaks have been robbed within the confines of the state of Kansas. Over $100,000 has been taken and never a bandit has as yet decorated the -interior of a jail cell. Not a man has been .arrested, and the clues are very vague an% hard to follow. Kansas sheriffs, town mar shals, detectives and chiefs of police are at their wits' end and the robbers continue to dirt in and out of the state, raiding the richest and most available -,banks apparently at - their own pleasure. The authorities have banded together with the Anti-Horse Thief associations that are still found over the state, and are vowing ven geance, but so far nothing has come of all their efforts. A meeting of sheriffs and policemen was held in Wichita in an effort to devise ways and means for capturing the bold marauders. But the black mo tor cars filled with masked banditti SStill race along the prairie highways. State Bank Commissioner Dolley of Kansas has taken matters into his own hands to a certain extent, and has called upon the governors of Oklahoma and Nebraska to keep their bandits at home. It is the contention of the Kan M~uisi- e L M~ ima nAni 7aig41etAa. . sas uthoitie tha thee minigh bac ass ath etun ay. hr h maradersKanasa s dare notat fline ggOaoaand Nebraskaan oresentbe the Imputation and the citizens of ' these commonwealths are calling upon Kansas to remove the beam from her own eye before trying to locate the mlotes In those-of her neighbors. The bandits have undoubtedly come back into their old haunts. They are riding the same prairies in motor cars that they once galloped over upon their cayuses. They seem to find the change altogether profitable and com ''fortable as welt .it is safer to make a get-away in a big powerful racing car than it is to .grust to horseflesh and animal starrmia. .It is easier to carry away the -swag" in acar than it is to put it af a gunny sack and. tie it to a ss'.dle horn. Kansas has known bank robbers in the old days. The Kansas town Is poor and indeed uninteresting that <has no story toteflof the "day the stage was held up a couple of miles out of town," or of that other day when the "Dalton gang rode into town and held up the bank in broad day light." They are able many times to show you the exact spot where the cashier was killed or where some bold bandit was left wallowing on the prairie when his companions were forced to gallop out of town. The bandits who have come back are possibly not so spectacular as those of a decade ago, but they get what they go after. Motor cars as a means of marauding are new even to Kansas. But three-score raided banks and a few thousand depositors can testify that they are effective beyond the dreams of those more dramatic holdup men who dashed Into town on lean and rangy cow ponies. The states of Iowa, Oklahoma, Ne braska and Texas, as well as Kansas have suffered from a regular epidemic of bank robberies during the past few months, and as many as a dozen dif ferent .owns in Oklahoma have had Fbhei lkz burglarized. )EADLY SNAKE KEEPS A CREW IN RIGGING tEPTILE, FREE FOR SIX HOURS. FINALLY CAPTURED BY AID OF LASSO. Boston.-With an infuriated and eadly snake loose on the deck of heir vessel, which wairolling .and lunging in a heavy sea, the crew oi he British steamship, Muncaster astle, hung to the rigging for six Lours during a terrible gale in the ndian ocean.

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA "I can't tell in words how happy the word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it cured my baby of Itching, torturing eczema. It first came when she was between three and four weeks old appearing on her head. I used every thing imaginable and had one doo ter's bill after another, but nothing cured dt. Then the eczema broke oui so badly behind her ear that I really thought her ear would come off. Foi months I doctored It but to no avail Then It began at her nose and hel eyes were nothing but sores. I had tc keep her In a dark room for twc weeks. The doctor did no good, so] stopped him coming. "For about two weeks I had used Cuticura Soap for her every day then I got a box of Cuticura Olntmen1 and began to use that. In a weel there was a marked Improvement. It all I used two cakes of Cuticura Soai and one box of Cuticura Ointment and my baby was cured of the sores. Thiu -was last November; now her hair i rgrowing out nicely and she has not a scar on her. I can not praise Cuti eura enough, I can take my child any where and people are amazed to se. her without a sore. From the time she was four weeks old until she wai three years- she was never without the terrible eruption, but now, thanks tc Cuticura, I have a well child." (Sign ed) Mrs. H. E.

Not liking the climate, Pat tried to evolve a trick by which he could get home. Accordingly he went to the doctor and told him his eyesight was bad. The doctor looked at him for a while and then said: "How can you prove to me that your eyesight is bad?" Pat looked about the room and at last said: "Well, doctor, do ye see that nail on the wall?" "Yes," replied the doctor. "Well," then replied Pat, "I can't." -Chicago Tribune. Runs on the Bank of England. Even the Bank of England has not been entirely free from runs nor from the necessity of saving itself by strategy. In 1745, for instance, It was forced to employ agents to present notes, which were paid as slowly as possible in sixpences, the cash being immediately brought In by another door and paid In again, while anxious holders of notes vainly tried to se cure attention. In 1825, too, only the accidental discovery of 700.000 21 notes saved the bank from stopping payment.-London Chronicle. TO DRIVE OUT AAAR[AL I OBLUL TONIC. You know what you ae taking.
