Chicago Is enjoying a good laugh at New York's expense now that the nation's metropolis is worrying about her own gang war. Many of the Jibes about this city's gang conditions, which so hurt her feillngs, emanated from New York.

Few chances to take a crack at Chicago's reputation were overlooked. And for a long time people here had no comeback.

Killings have occurred on the streets and assassins have disappeared Just as thoroughly as they ever did In Chicago- There even are hints that It Is a real beer war. New York immediately has tried to claim that Chicago gangsters are responsible for her trouble, but the claim doesn't register here.

Tho police In that city are reported to be facing public rebuke for failing to clear up the killings that have occurred, while a number of civic organizations as In Chicago dur-iar her recent troubles demand vigorous action. The gang troubles here have wheel chair but today lie wa found All Men's Shoes and Oxfords at Least 10 Off geles, Calif. day that, the three cities of Oakland, Fresno and San Diego have been switching high school executives In a close corporation manner for several years.
