At Indianapolis recently an Overland 4 stock car
was driven 5,452 miles continuously in seven
days and nights, over frozen country roads.
This is an average of 778 miles per day?more
than the distance between Toledo and New York
City. This is another tribute to the cushion

Smashed Skulls an Everyday Oc
currence In German Capital.
Berlin.?Berlin is beta# swept by ft
crime wave such us perhaps no city
| in Europe has known in modern times.
A German minister remarked a few
days ago that i>roflteering now Is hard
ly considered a crime, and* that if it
were possible to tie every profiteer in
Berlin to a lamp post there would not
be enough lamp posts.
However, It Is not alone the profits
| eer who holds Berlin In his iron grasp*,
Equally mennctng is the daring bur
glar who will not stop even at mur
der; the outlaw who defies the law
and all authority and who holds up
~-tnen-an<|/ women "In the street or in
the road; the so-called "aristocratic
swindler," who, with an Imposing title
and a female companion, prey* on the
stranger and finds his victims in the
expensive hotels and restaurants.
It has been remarked truthfully that
It wonld be difficult to recall in mod*
ern history a happier hunting ground
f for cutthroats and rogues than is the
German capital. Indeed, life here haa
reached such a state of insecurity that
It now takes much to shock or even
cause a thrill of interest among the
people, so accustomed have they grown
to murders nnd robberies and nnnat*
ural crimes. "
Naila Children in Barrel.
Many of these crimes which are be
ing committed In Berlin are unexplain*
able from human standpoints. For
instance, a case was reported where
two children remained away from
their home too long on the occasion
of their mother's birthday. Wheh they
returned home their mother dragged
them to the garret, thrust them into
a barrel and nailed down the cover.
Another case was that of the murder
of a feeble and aged fortune teller for
the sake of a few coins which nhe had
saved.
In the midst of the daily and night*
ly holdups and the murder wave which
is sweeping Berlin there was one case
which attracted wide attention be
cause of Its horror. It was known as
the Faikenhagen Forest murders. Th*
murderer .when be was arrested was
unable to remember all the murders
h* had committed or his outrages OB
lnnnocent persons. In one instance he
locked his victims In a house and sel
fire to it. meanwhile shooting into the
house while It burned.
The exploits of the Strauss brotherf
was another case which attracted wide
attention here. Before the war these
two men were burglars. One of thera
Interrupted his criminal career to
fight for Germany. He won the Iron
Cross, but a/? soon as hostilities ceased
returned home and Joined his brothei
in the old pursuits. Finally they were
arrested, but one of them managed
to escape from prison.
Free* Brother From Jail.
Ho Roon returned to the jail, how
ever, overcame all opposition and r?
leased hi* brother, with the result
that, thoy went hack to the nuslnes*
of robbery. A nationwide hunt foi
them followed. When the police lo
cated them there was a battle in
which two policemen were killed and
two wounded, and the Strauss broth
ers again succeeded in escaping.
Finally they were arrested in the easl
end of Herlin.
Almost daily one hears of some
body's skull bavin.:; been smashed "only
a few blocks from where I live" 01
that somebody was stunned and rob
bed "before my eyes." The police
seem powerless to control the situa
tion.
The s?>-ca11e(J "aristocratic swin
dler" and robber is reaping a harvest
He finds Ids prey usually In an Ameri
can bar, acquainted with the
man he intends t<> rob and offers hirn
a "prepared" cigarette, which promptly
blinds the victim. The thief then pro
ceeds 1" pick his victim's pocket in
h leismvly und dignified way.
Street battles between robbers and
persons whom thev would rob are fre
quent occurrenceIn one ol these
battle^ in the Wedding district re
ceytly two civil cuards and :i burglar
were killed. On another occasion \wo
parties searching for u thief fired on
each other in the dark with fatal
consequences.
