This is the time ot year when we expect rains and the brand of cold breeze that goes in and sticks. We are hoping for and expecting a 1 good spring and summer season and the biggest crop in years and if we can get that it will do more to help general conditions over the country than ail the tariff bills ever passed. its hard tor the average citizen to understand the ways and the whys of the courts these days. Albert Fall was convicted in a Washngton Federal court some months ago for accepting a bribe and now Edward Doheny who gave him the SIOO,OOO is acquitted in the same court. While it takes two to make a bargain of that kind it would I seem that the perpetrator is just las guilty as his weak victim. The governor of Florida is standing pat on his orders not to permit Al Capone to enter that state land since he .seems to be quite sincere it is more than likely that | the Chicago beer king is facing I trouble when lie strikes that land |of sunshine. Quite likely charges I have been piled against him and that he will be regularly held until he can be banished. There is I always away to keep undesirables away if the desire to do so is strong enough. The tariff bill has passed the senate and while it still has a little ground to cover there seems to be no doubt that eventually it will go to the president and be signed. Its the old idea that a high tariff will bring prosperity but just how this one designed largely for a favored few can do so, remains to be seen with many who have been high tariff promoters doubting the wisdom of its passage. It will be a relief to have it out of the way and to turn attention to other I matters. Tile very important job of takI ing the census of Adams county md its towns and cities will begin next week. The census takers i have been named and they must | complete their jobs within thirty plays beguiling April Ist. The census enumeration will stand for I o n years and it is of utmost importance that every person legally i residing in the county be listed. ,ft should be the desire of every I[er on to assist those selected to count "noses" for many distributions are based upon the enumeration. Be courteous and helpful when your census taker calls. Probably the poorest paid proI tession in tho United States is that lof crime. There is more money ein running errands, in driving a i | grocery wagon, in selling newspapers, or in directing a bank. Honesty shows better profits. Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing say-, that tin- total haul of 900 men committed to that prison in 1927 was $366,771. The sentences imposed total 12,389 years, an average return of $29.1)7 a year. Sentences for robbery totaled 6.515 years, or at the rate of $1.30 a year; for larceny, 1,68fi years, or S3B a year; for forgery, 118 years, | or $612 a year, and for burglary, $3,716 years, or $2 a year.

Dense Population Lisbon, — (UP) — One of the places where the density of population reaches its highest porportions is the Portuguese colony of Macau Recent statistics show that its population totals 157,175 —all in an area of 10 square kilometers. Os these, only 3, 846 are Portugese: 152,238 are Chinese, and the remainder of various nationalities. Spectacular Movie Film At ICort Theater Wednesday and Thursday Nights, March 26 and 27 A spectacular movie of an engineering experiment in which a Dodge Brothers MonoPiece body sedan is seen hurtling down a steep mountainside. Thousands have taken advantage of this rare opportunity at the shows to view an automobile rolling over and over in a giddy, breath-taking plunge down a jagged, precipitous slope. The film was planned originally to test the strength of Mono-piece steel bodies, pioneered on Dodge Brothers automobiles. the experiment is dramatic and intensely interesting proving equally effective in measuring the sturdiness of chassis, frame, wheels—in fact all parts of the car. Cat-Like, Finds Its The runway, which is supposed to upset the car as it begins its perilous journey, fails at first to offset its balance. Tilted precariously on two wheels, the car careens off wildly down the treacherous incline, but like a cat, finds its feet and comes to rest unharmed. The low center of gravity, due to Mono-piece body construction and scientific mounting keeps the Dodge car from overturning where other cars had completely capsized. For the second trial, the car shoots off into space at a much higher rate of speed. Its balance comoletely upset, the car lands with a tremendous impact that sends it spinning dizzily down the mountain-side. At the conclusion of this trip the car is inspected and all working parts found to be in good condition. It was then driven back to the crest ' of the hill under its own power for a third plunge, this time starting at a greater rate of speed than ever before. An Almost Indestructible Car On the third and last trip in this scientific demonstration, the car makes three complete turns before its perfect balance arrests its descent for the second time. Not yet satisfied, the engineers have workmen give the car another push. Over it rolls again and again, subjecting body and chassis to merciless punishment. Much to the amazement of the spectators, when finally the car comes to a stop at the bottom of the hill, windows and doors are opened and the machine, when righted, is driven under its own power off the scene of what has come to be regarded as one of the most engaging, novel and important experiments in automotive history. During the tests only one pane of glass was broken. A loose cushion bouncing arourd inside the car as it went rolling down the hill shattered the window in the rear panel. In spite of the almost incalculable force of blows, stresses and strains, glass in side windows, doors and windshield was unharmed. Engineers in charge of the test pronounced the car an almost indestructible automobile. Amazing Strength This construction does away with annoying squeaks and rattles and gives Mono-piece bodies the astounding factor of safety graphically depicted in the film.
