Linn County Sets Aggressive Collection Policy for State Care Costs
The county board endorses a business like move to recover maintenance costs from relatives of patients in state institutions. Linn County reports nearly 700,000 dollars in uncollected charges over ten years, increasing by 60,000 to 80,000 yearly, with 7 percent collections in 1938. The board may outsource and curb crowding by removing nonrelatives from care, while praising prudent private and government aid practices, including Red Cross fundraising and disaster relief coordination.

Is It Art or Theft The True Bugher Jewel Robbery
A real Washington DC jewel theft worth 400000 dollars reads like fiction. Mrs. Frederick Bugher hid jewels at home with a hired butler, delayed reporting the crime, and a parcel to a New York friend was misaddressed. The case includes a misread recipient name, a daughter’s objection, and a visiting card with the Bugher son’s name, challenging belief. Nature’s artistry in crime outweighs literary plausibility.
