"The gangs have lost their grip," says Loesch. "There'll be more trou-blo from time to time, of course. There's bound to be a sensational flare-up now and again. But the worst is over.

The underworld's domination is gone. "Mr. Swanson is handicapped somewhat by lack of funds, and this has, to a certain extent, crippled him. But ho is a man of thorough integrity and he is very much in earnest. Things are very much better." A prominent Chicago professional man who has studied the situation for years, but who asked that his name bo not used, revealed similar views.

"The tide has turned at last' he says. "We are not the 'murder capi 33x6.00 Balloon $13.65 tal' that some people think. Our murder ratio, ih proportion to population, is actually much lower than in many cities far smaller than Chicago." Chicago is planning on a great world's faiT for 1933 with visitors Many of the most powerful gangster are leaving the city permanently, seeking greener pastures in Florida, 'where they plan to establish the gambling and vice operations that Chicago, at last, has driven out. A year ago Chicago's citizens went to the polls and kicked out the Crowe Thompson machine, putting John A. Swanson into the state's attorney's office.

Last January Swanson took office. The results have been apparent for some time. Roche a Hard Hitter The man most qualified to speak, probably, is Patrick Roche, special investigator for the state's attorney's office, former ace of the federal intelligence service and a hard-hitting law enforcer. It is on Roche's shoulders that most of the responsibility lor. cleaning up Chicago has fallen.

"The gang's power has been definitely broken," Kochc says. "The biggest thing we've done is suppress vice and gambling. That leaves the liquor traffic as practically the only source of income, for the gangs and that isn't enough. "Al Capone, for example, is thru here. It's probable that when he gets out of.

prison in Philadelphia he won't even come back: to Chicago. He will head for Florida. That's where lots of the Chicago gang, chieftains are moving now. see, gangs are expensive things. Capone, for instance, bad around 600 men on his regular payroll.

That took an awful lot of money. It takes altogether too much when vice and gambling aren't being allowed to run full tilt. So the boys are having a tough time." Nightly Roche leads, his plain clothesmen through the suburbs for, oddly enough, it has always been in the suburbs Cicero and Calumet City the Chicago underworld has maintained its worst He has been so vigorous that crookdom has adopted, a. new attitude toward the law. There is -another Chicago an who is in a position.to speak with authority, about thff' -new situation Frank J.

Loesch; president of the Chicago Crime Commission, who took up the Who Stands Back of the tires You Buy! I- i ii J-- I from all over the world. A couple of years ago, when the 5 proposition was broached, business eaders were dubious. "How can we have a world's fair with our underworld situation?" they asked. "People will be afraid to come. Visitors will be afraid they'll get held up in the hotel lobbies.

The scheme won't work." But the situation has changed. The rule of gangdon has come to an end. And Chicago is going to have its World's Fair, Here are the men who have taken big pert in leaning tap Chicago and breaking the power of the gangs. At left is Patrick Roche hardhitting law enforcer for the state's attorney, who has led numerous raids. At right (above) is State's Attorney John A.

We do. "Has he got a genuine quality tire to stand back of?" We have Michelin! Michelin says the customer must be satisfied.

In school children are encouraged to express themselves. They ara.j-t given opportunities to develop' hob-bies in the various creative fields, if there is musical talent it is der j'ijj veloped as far as possible in th. school. Teachers endeavor to give pupils an appreciation of good sic and to develop skill in singing, playing and dancing.
