The Maryland Casualty Company has been kind enough to forward té us a statement on crime from the pen of the emi- nent detective, William' J. Burns, which they are using for ad- vancement purposes but which they permit us to have repro- duced: One paragraph in Mr. Burns’ article carries out the statement made by the Editor in his address before the Ecumeni- cal:Conference that the wave of moral retrogression and crime now: sweeping over the country is the ottgrowth of the after- math of the war,.. We quote: T A “It is generally agreed by criminologists and those who closely follow the activities of the crooks, that the present crime wave is a reflex of the recent great war; as history teaches us this has been true from the days of the Roman wars, and this being the greatest war in the world’s history, naturally the crime wave is the greatest. I, personally, have never known.a time when the crook and the thief were so much in evidence as today.” y i Ny E i But'what we most wish to call to the attention of our readers are the closing paragraphs which all parents may well heed and-ponder, It is a veritable sermon. Here is the conclusion of the world’s greatest student of, crime: : “Laws_increasing the degree of punishment for such crimes 'may tend 'somewhat to discourage them, at least to a degree ; but it is my personal opinion that the matter goes far beyond or far back of these con- siderations, and criminals are frequently created be- cause of the lack of ‘restraint and I might almost say lack of religious teachings and discipline during child- hood. 2 SRR “I am not a pessimist,” but I sometimes wonder . whether thé opportunity for success along honest lines i sufficiently brought to'theattention of the young men and woneén of today by their parents and guard- g RN e J Bt o At ot TSRS “While' T do not intend to pose as a,teacher, I would like to say that if criminal operations of all kinds are in the.future to be reduced in number, it will be necessary for parents to exercise a much more careful supervision of their children’s education along moral lines. For, as I have already said, it is in the - home that we must first undertake to teach them by precept and example and unless we succeed in per- suading our children in their eatly-years that honesty isnot only the best policy, but, the most successful and remunerative in' the long rtn, we shall ultimately scarcely be proud of our record. as law-abiding citizens,”—Northwestern Advocate. PRESASL G SR AN RUINOUS FOREST WASTE The part the family waste-basket plays in the depletion of our forests is dramatically set forth by a writer in the Amer- ican Forestry Magazine (Washington, D. C.), who mournfully informs us that every day nearly five thousand. good-sized trees find their way thither. His complaint is that the metropolitan journals are entirely too big. Australia and New Zealand are pointed to as places where the wholesale use of paper is not so | lightly regarded. ‘At a recent pulp and paper conference in Canada, a New Zealand delegate waved aloft a copy of a New . York daily-paper of .thirty pages,-end declared he:would be sent to jail if herdared print a paper of that size in his country— not to mention the huge American Sunday. editions. The time ¢is at hand, we are warned, when the economic law of necessity| will force a.retrenchment in this direction.. Already miore than i one-third of our pulpwood ‘comes from across the Canadian border, and Canada, profiting by' our mistakes, is now taking steps to forbid the cutting of timber at a raté moré rapid than its growth. This means primarily that our annual importation of Canadian pulpwood has practically reached the maximum, and for the other two-thirds at least we will have to look after our- selves. If, sayd American Forestry, we squarely face the facts, the golution of the problem will not be difficult.” It is estimated that about three million cords of wood per year are manufac- tured into paper for magazines and newspapers, At ten cords per acre this would mean three hundred thousand acres. Sup-: posing that it takes about forty to fifty years to grow good pulp- wood spruce, and allowing for possible losg by fire, wind blight o failure of seeding, a tract of thirty thousand square miles planted with forty successive crops of timber, each crop coming to' ‘maturity, at one year intervals would, under proper care and ma.nagem‘efit, furnish a perpetual supply of pulpwood for newsprint. . This means an area a little smaller than the'state of” Ohio, but represents less than one-tenth of the area of our «cut-over lands, ‘most'of which are now almost entirely unpro- ductive. : v . There is no question that a perpetual supply of. for“all needs is a possible and practical secheme. = T i however, come merely for the askingl 'There must be; first, a i ‘proper national forestry law with adequdte. provisions for fire ¢ iprotection and government reforestation on.a scalefarge.énough . ‘to"demonstrate the economic soundness 0f the idea; second, yulpwood evie 1y state must adopt thorough-going forestry principles with provisions to protect growing timber from exorbitant taxation ; axgfif“finally;‘ with these laws as a basis, the pulp and paper in- dustry, together with all other wood-using: industries, must be made to see that in practical reforestation and conservation lies‘their only salvation, e e —————————— | BROWN STUDENTS REQUIRED |nouncement was made that 811 per.

JAZZ BROUGHT TO | By Webb Miller (United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, Nov. 26.—Howard E. Book- er of San Franciscs, the man who set all England dancing, inflicted Ameri- can jazz bands upon the United King- ‘I dom, and taught the. stolid Britisher how to'shake a.wicked shimmy, and introduced the “tight little isle” to baseball, has invaded France. When Booker gets through, France will be agitating the “chemise” to American steps,‘to American synco- pation, played by American jazz bands; also seeing movies produced by Americans and run by American methods. B ‘Within twenty-four hours after set- ting foot on French soil, Booker signed a lease to the Apollo theater and started a dance hall on a plan brand new to Frenchmen. Also in a 25-minute deal he bought“the second million franes. Booker’s American quick-lunch methods .of business be- were suspicious of him and asked to delay the deal. It was only when he scribbled a check for one million franes to bind the contract that they decided he wasn’t joking. His first venture at the Apollo the- ater has just opéned with three Am- erican jazz bands playing American tunes. Booker imported 42 English girls, four American girls and four Belgians to teach-Frenchmen to dance the United States way. There are also four-American men and eight English- men, to teach French girls. The in- structors sit in a special inclosure awaiting the summons. The would-be chemise wagger merely buys a ticket for one frane which entitles the hold- er to one dance with the instructor. This is the same system Booker in- mersmith, Palais de Dance which had such a phenomenal success.
