IS LOW THIS VERB INCHES IrkoM mmm-PlATED RULE Lillian PascLclBqy Now thM the fair is over members of the police department can afford to sit back for a moment and smile. The annual erent which attracts thousands of people of all classes and descrip tions generally proves a magnet to pickpockets, confidence men and other undesirables. For this reason members of the rlice department are led to an ticipate a greatly inereased number of daily complaints and resultant arrests. This year a new record was estab lished at the local police department. Exopt for two cases of pocket picking no comnlaints of a criminal nature were made to the police which could tie attributable to the occasion of the fair. Negro women were held responsi ble for the two black marks on the record, as both victims were certain their loss was due to the manipula tions of ebony hued females. More than one-half of one per cent caused the police department more worrv than anything else last week. There seemed to be a plentiful supply of wet eoods which ranged from em balming fluid to the genuine "bottled In bond."

Thirteen of these of fenders are scheduled to line up in noTico court this afternoon. Accord ing to the Jailer, all thirteen are just a little front of a Judge. o The Manloves were 011 a vacation.
