H The American Mutual Liability Insurance company’s institute for safer living says the majority of holdups at gunpoint, “muggings” and similar robberies of individuals occur because the victim has been thoughtless enough to leave himself vulnerable. < ' f The institute suggests these rules for avoiding holdups: 1. Don’t walk alone on dark or desefteh streets ,at night unless necessary. Then walk briskly, keep to best-lighted areas, avoid dark alleys and side entrances. Keep out' of parks. ’2- Dori’t take a stranger’s good intentions for granted When he antcosts you on the street or in public places. Don’t let him lead you iirtjo a “trap.” -3. Don’t display or jewelry in public. , ,4. Kqep ear doors locked and windows roiled up when driving atone at night and, of course, don’t pick up strangers. 5. Keep doors locked at night. Use safety catches on windows. 6. Never admit a stranger to ytftlr home until after proper idenntToatidff. 7; Storekeepers In unprotected locations should have more than One person on duty if possible, and should keep a minimum of cash on the premsies. \ i Mind Your’Business FORT WORTH, Tex. — A bystander with questionable judgment wound up in jail whep he objected to Patrolman J.

Proper Lighting A I Deterrent To Crime CLEVELAND, 0., UP—The national street and: traffic safety lighting bureau here claims impressive inroads could be made in the national crime rate if streets were property illuminated. Statistics show, the bureau reported, that a “serious” crime occurs at the rate df one every 18 seconds in the United States. However, 75-to-80 percent of all crimes are committed at nigbt, the ibureau points to a. concensus of police chiefs who believe a 50 percent cut could be achieved. in the after-dark crime wave with better lighting. also show, that 85 of eveky 100 streets in the country are lighted by obsolete systems, while thousands of miles of streets no lighting at all, the bureau said. In dollars-and-centft, the bureau estimated the annual crime bill at 110,355,000,000. Good street lighting would cost about $675,000,000 at most, or $2.50 to $4.50 per capita with Estimated savings, they bureau said, of $3,000,000,000 from crime. During darkness, \ the bureau’s statistics show 8,260 rapes occur each year, 42,200 aggravated assaults, 80,500 automobiles are stolen and 261,000 homes and shops are burglarized. The survey of police <!diiefs indicates these figures could be cut almost' in half. - ■'•'V ■ .' ' ; If you have someth|ng to sell or rooms for rent, try a | Democrat Want Add. It brings results.
