It is a good move in undermining thug pres- tige. The Fear of Law (San Antonio Evening News) Sociologists and students of human nature! generally may be pardoned for skepticism con-| cerning the efficacy of a mere statute in re- ducing crime. Yet it would seem that New York’s drastic Baumes laws have put a whole- some fear of authority into the criminal’s heart to an even greater degree than the sponsors anticipated. According to Raymond F. C. Kieb, state commissioner of correction, one-fourth fewer crimes of violence—such as highway robbery and assault—were reported in the year these measures have been in force than for the! previous twelvemonth. That is a most encouraging development, as the full effect of the Baumes laws hardly can be felt until after a few years, when the habitu- al violators to whom it applies shall have been imprisoned permanently. For the present such a prospect, together with the suspension of sen- tence-reduction for good behavior and the re- quirement that the convict must serve his full minimum term, undoubtedly has served as a deterrent. This experiment has attracted much attention in other states, several of which al- jready have enacted like law: Cajust Discrimination (St. Paul Dispatch) The large majority of the people of Minne- sota and the northwest belongs to the so-called Nordic race, but most of the Nordics probably are broad-minded enough to concede that other types of European ancestry have great merits and perhaps even equal merits with their own. Such Nordics will agree with Miss Ethel Bird of the New York Y. W. C. A. immigration de- partment, who spoke recently at a social work conference in St. Paul, that the existing im- migration law, which gives distinct and large preference to immigrants from the north of Europe, or the Nordics, casts an unjust asper- sion on southern Europe. The 1927 immigration law, which has not fe lution of many social problems, the use of psy- chiatry has proved beneficial, but hitherto has not been concerned with ordinary people at their everyday jobs. Now many department stores are counting the psychiatrist as one of their biggest assets. tl For example: Miss Blank is unable to make a «} good showing on her sales in the glove depart- F ment. She has been with the store long enough « to “know the ropes,” but she lacks aggressive- ness. Here is where the psychiatrist comes in. i Mental examinations, physical examinations, t] intelligence tests and personality studies are a ziven Miss Blank. Then her shortcomings are © pointed out to her and any defects are rem- 7 edied. The result, say store managers, is a s startling improvement. t Psychiatry is profitable for the merchant, * because turnover is reduced and time is saved which otherwise would have to be spent in breaking in new employes. But even more im- 1 portant is the effect on the worker. Proper 2 adjustment of each worker to his job means ‘ greater pay, and a brightened mental outlook as well. x Cabbages and Shoes ® Did you ever stop to realize that every time 5 you eat cabbage you are adding to the cost of « Shoes? Well, neither did we until we read a , bulletin of the National Shoe Retailers’ asso-| minute stop-off preparatory to making the hop ~ ciation the other day. | “If men do not begin eating more meat,” the bulletin said, “the price of shoes is going up from 15 to 20 per cent; probably will go up anyway, as it will take consumers of beefstea! : a long while to catch up with the law of sip- * ply and demand in the tanning business.” Here, now! What has eating meat to do with the price of shoes? Just this, the associ- * ation sagely answers—if the public eats less meat fewer cattle are killed and less leather is produced. Less leather, higher price. But wait. The fewer cattle killed, the more + cattle remaining. And “more cattle” multiply ‘ faster than “few cattle.” If we keep on eating : eabbage the way we are, the day certainly will , come when there'll be a steer slain every time a man needs a pair of shoes. Then what? x Well, by that time there'll be another bulle- tin, i < A Slap on the Wrist Mayor John L. Duvall of Indianapolis was found guilty Thursday of violating the corrupt Practices act—and the sentence was 30 days in Jail and a fine of $1,000! As the prosecution charged and the jury evi- yet been put into effect and may never he, in- creases the preference for the Nordics. It ap- portions permissible immigration among Euro- pean peoples in the same ratio as they are now represented among the ancestors of our present population. It is palpably drawing a distinction between a superior and therefore welcome class and an inferior and therefore unwelcome class, which is inferior because it is in the minority. If immigration were restricted so as to ex- clude criminals, paupers and persons with com- municable diseases, but otherwise left to regu- late itself, foreigners would come to this coun- try when times are good and there is oppor- tunity for employment, but stay away or de- part from it in bad times, as they have done iu the past. Both America and Europe would be benefited in that case. Aviation and the Mother Mind (Minneapolis Tribune) | “Do you want your overcoat, Leslie?” Leslie was Pilot Leslie C. Miller, leading fly- jer in the class B air derby from New York to Spokane. The speaker was Mrs. D. I. Miller of Des Moines, his mother. The scene was the St. Paul airport, where Pilot Miller had made a graceful descent from the clouds for a five- |for Fargo, N. D. Pilot Miller, as it happened, didn't want his overcoat. For one thing, he was busy with the details of refueling his ship, and didn’t have time to notice a cutting September wind. For another thing, transcontinental flyers can’t be bothered with overcoats while a dozen planes are roaring down on them in a race against time. Nevertheless, the overcoat incident has its place in the annals of aviation. If it is of no aeronautical importance, it at least reveals the mother mind, and the mother mind, we have no doubt, is intensely concerned with aviation. The world is indebted to Mrs. Miller for the charming question which served to humanize a great transcontinental air derby. If Pilot Miller evidences heroic qualities, what then of Mrs. Miller? What of the Mrs. Lindberghs, the Mrs. Chamberlins and the Mrs. Goebels who have exercised the maternal privilege of worry with stoic calm? What shall we say of the mother mind which steels itself against possible disaster when nosedives and tailspins and headwinds, not to mention overcoats, are engrossing attention and effecting a slow tor- ure ? The mother mind may present a surface im- dently agreed, Mayor Duvall had city offices to certain political adherents of his, should he be elected. He was elected, and he fulfilled his promises.

The discovery was epoch- making because this was the first disease caused by a germ which was definitely proved to be transmitted through the agency of an insect. Cows infested with ticks are a menace because they carry disease. As pointed out in a recent bulletin of the Louisiana state board of h-alth, they are, moreover unhappy cows. Even animals with a light infestation showed a production of 18.6 per cent less milk than those without ticks; cows heavily: infested with ticks produced as low as 42.4 per cent less milk than when they were freed from their annoyance. Dipping Surest Way In an endeavor to rid cows of ticks, dipping has been found the safest and most certain procedure. A trench is dug and filled with a special mixture known as arsenic- soda pinetar, sometimes called “boiled dip.” The cattle are passed through this and thus rid of the insect pest. The chief of the bureau of animal industry of the U. S. De Agriculture is mals are greatly reduced in vitality. While the milk from the tick-in- cow, if submitted to pasteur- ization, and other controls, is quite suitable for drinking, it is not likely be so good a milk as that from a compieniy normal and healthy animal.

Well, of course it w- the brewer's corvention and the stranger was a brewer. Wheeler pulled out his ‘i2vitable pad of paper a ~ wrote the speech—it was a good one, too. The brewer offered compensation, but Wheeler wouldn’t take it. Nev- ertheless, he had to kill so.ae time after leaving the train and he’d sort of like to hear the mre make the speech. The brewer was delighted. Wheeler went into the convention hall and took yolminous notes, Suddenly the chairman interrupted a speaker and announced: “T have just heard that a _repre- sentative of the Anti-Saloon League is present. We will suspend every- thing until the intruder is found and removed.” “What a ierv- that fellow must have to come in here,” remarked Wheeler to his new friend as three innocent barterc rs were thrown out of the hall. That was one of Wheeler's favorite stories. see In the Ohio fight over the locel option law, Wheeler experienced trouble through the refusal of the legislators to vote. Whenever time to vote on the measures came, the majority would retreat t. the rest rooms and lavatories. Whereupon Wheeler went out to their districts and in a series of speeches told the voters that “your representative is a privy councillor.” he legislators began to get sare castic letters and telegrams ad- dressed to “Privy Councillor” So- and-so and soon Wheeler had won his fight. 2 He was always quick to match the methods of his adversaries. Once, after a session’s lobbying with the Ohio legislature he observed that the liquor lobbyist was taking all the newspaper boys down to a saloon to celebrate the end of the session. The next year when it was over he headed the boys off. “Boys,” he said, “I wish I could go down there with you, but you know I can’t. Just the same, I’ve got a little re- membrance for you”—an“ he then gave each Teporter a handsome cane. In one of his first law cases, Wheeler found that he hal made a merely routine preparation and lost his case. In his own words— “I decided then that I'd never go into court again withcut knowing more about my case than anyone else possibly could.” The League has figures to show that of 2000 court cases, in which Wheeler personally represented it, he lost only five. That seems im- possible. " Despite his control lever them, few senators and congressmen were ersonally intimate with Wheeler. Most of them bitterly resented the popular theory that Whec'er owned them body and soul. They hated to corroborate it. “If you want me for anything, telephone or write,” they used to tell him. “But don’t come into my office” ce RRO f IN NEW YORK > | BARBS New York, Se majority of mal pletely fail to live up to their out- side reputation as “swell dressers.” For every white-spatted, cane- carrying, snappily-clothed stroller on the Avenue there are ten thou- sand wearing “marked-down-from- fifty-dollar” attire. Whereas almost every person of the feminine gender makes desper- ate efforts at being attired in the “New York manner,” ever. though she has to accept the cheap copies of the Sixth avenue installment houses, her companion is likely to furnish a Rares. contrast. he fact is that the average male dweller in this city is likely to have to spend so much monev keeping his wife well groomed that he hasn’t much left for himself. And, where he is not married, the mere business of paying the rent, and taking the girl friend out to lunches, dinners or theaters is likely to keep him rath- er close to the ragged edge. And, again, whereas che homeliest brat that saunters the sidewalks is likely to make regular visits to a beauty parlor and even have the temerity to intrude herself into a beauty contest, only a limited per- centage of Manhattan males kid themselves about their good looks. ago a big bathing re- sort tried to hold a contest for an had| “Adonis of the Beach,” and though o ——@'9 the entry lists were opened weeks in advance not a single male of the thousands frequenting the resort made the slightest effort to lay claim to such a title.
