from the naugatuck chemicals division of dominion rubber company limited the new weed killer will be known as 24d a con traction for its proper name of 24dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and like another

the pawn broker racket john e rumble pleaded guilty jn courts at windsor last week to stealing five suhvof clothes whichhe sold to a pawn broker for- 15 how long is this pawn shop racket tolastv the broker whobought five good suits for only 15 musthaye knownhey werestoleh goods several winters agothewriter drove into toronto parked the car for five minutes but that waslong enough to have a 40 overcoat lifted off the seat we stepped across the road and notified th ecity police office two days later they reported the coat back in the police office recovered from a pawn broker- just as they visualized the incident ahead of time we paid the pawn brokers fee of 3 which the thief collected on turning coat intothe broker ava legitimate sale this kind of racket is tooeasy and the law could be easily tightened up we imagine if the thief who submitted the coat for sale was required to wait three days for his money it would give the owners of coats and other clothes a chance to recover without the thief getting paid when these socalled pawn brokers take in certain articles at ridiculous prices it is fairly certain the godds have been stolen and some kind of delaying action before payment is made would tend to hinder the easy method of picking up anothers clothing furs or- jewelry running them down to the pawn broker to be sold for a fraction of their real value itheatiffi box
