(Official City, State and County Newspaper) CRIMINAL GANGS In linking the latest outbreaks of gang killings in Philadelphia, New York and other large cities with Chi- cago there is danger that the idea may get abroad that Chicago is somehow responsible for lawlessness in these cities, This may comfort the baffled police, but will ¢ bring no relief to the public. ; Chicago’s gangs are notorious. They have been a re- proach to that city’s fair name. Europeans, reading of the machine-gunners operating in full daylight in Chi- cago, have naturally concluded that America is a land where criminals are many and police power is weak. If Chicago methods are followed in other cities, more shame to the United States. The latest outrages are striking for the openness with which the murders were committed. There have been ‘waves of violence during which gang murders have been common and the efforts of the police to check them have failed. This sort of thing is inevitable in a great me- tropolis, where the number of desperate characters is large enough to invite cooperation in the underworld. The plain citizen is more interested in seeing the new and open methods checked in their incipiency than in knowing which of Chicago’s famous criminals had sworn long ago to “get” the men that are falling one by 2 it. How many have come and gone since Grange first came into fame? And how many have fallen, like he, into oblivion before they knew it? turning out new football heroes. One or two will rob last year’s heroes of their fame and glory. Such is the fickle nature of fame. PAYING ON THE DEBTS In spite of all the commotion which has been raised over the war debts and which, though upon a descending scale, still occasionally occurs in certain quarters, the machinery which the settlements set up seems to work regularly without visible hitches. As the payments are announced the process seems to become more or lei mechanical, The first of the major powers to conclude a settle- ment, and that settlement being upon terms much nearer equivalence to the original debt than in the case of either France or Italy, England every six months re-emphasizes the unimpeachability of her national credit. The status of France is a curious one. Although her settlement plan is as yet unratified, payments ‘are regularly made according to its schedule. \ Economists have insisted that these war debts never can be paid. Perhaps payment never will be entirely completed. But it is a striking fact that, once the debts are geared into the financial system, no nation seems to find any tremendous burden in meeting the sched- ule. While the debt settlement controversy was at its Within a few weeks another football season will be |‘ height, the suspicion was strong in the United States that European politicians were making political capital ‘of the situation; that behind the hue and cry for debt cancellation was more politics than public opinion and justice. THE IMPORTANCE OF KISSES The beginning of the end, says Lyle Womack, came when his wife, Ruth Elder, refused to kiss him on her return from her ocean flight. That was the start of the chain of events that ultimately convinced him he ought to be single again. The marital kiss is a thing that is seldom rated at its true value. It is the custom, on the stage and elsewhere, to speak slightingly of the kisses that husbands and wives interchange. One is given to understand that they ‘are but pecks, given dutifully but with rapture. Yet, however much truth there may or may not be in that, they are highly important things. Let a husband or wife omit a kiss when one is due and much trouble can develop. When the supply stops the marital kiss is appreciated at its true worth. Doubtless a young intellectual is just as much im- pressed by a man’s mind after seeing his legs in plus one, victims of gang killings. He seeks protection as well as detection. Gang murders have created dissatisfaction with po- lice methods and the police, who occasionally are more bitterly criticized than they deserve. SEVENTY-FIVE STORIES ~It might be hard to tell what Chicagoans think about the %5-story skyscraper planned for their city. They are " much like other people and for that reason none can ‘tguess what they think and feel. But the majority, if {they have any views, probably believe that the struc- {ture’s chief virtue is that it will be 70 feet taller than tthe Woolworth building, and its one defect that it will fmot overtop the Eiffel Tower. Perhaps the Chicago skyscraper will be a beautiful thing. Once it was the fashion to despise all such build- ings as awkward and ugly; now we more or less have notion that all of them are handsome in the spirit #1 «of the age. And, indeed, many of them are.

Editorial Comment PAYING FOR HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS (St, Paul Dispatch) highway system. At the fund. Now used for construction, paving and mainte- nance of Minnesota’s arterial roads, this money would be distributed in driblets to counties to finance local road building projects. In some parts of the state, the amendment has been attractively and plausibly presented to the public. But fortunately there is a p diversion of opinion about its actual merits. A critical attitude is apparent in the state press. The amendment does not stand up well under analysis and investigation. As defined in the Constitution, Minnesota’s present purpose is to devote all revenue derived from gasoline taxes to improvement of the trunk highway system. Gas tax money, now amounting annually to about $6,000,000, cannot be used in any other manner. But the Constitu- tion-also creates another fund, called the State Road and idge Fund, established to assist counties in improv- ing local roads. The revenue is derived from a 1-mill tax on all property. It is allotted each year among tha counties, no county reeling less than one per cent nor more than three per cent of the total. ‘stupid speaking; and the thousands of workers huddled jogether in efficient comfort will do enough to increase frantic rush of a big city at its busiest and worst. j tion, “3 American cities are building today so posterity may = strong they made their buildings and how ey 3 HIGHER TARIFF ON FOOD ‘That old reliable remedy for economic ills, the tariff, to be stretched again.

GRANGE OUT OF FOOTBALL = When Red Grange first ran down a college football ld to score a touchdown for Illinois, the sound of his otsteps was distant thunder that soon to echo ugh the country like a storm. In a surprising] ort time he had become the “Urbana phantom” and “galloping ghost,” and his fame ran aa swiftly ‘ough the states as he himself dodged through lines backfields, s4¢ the sheath of this activity is fair there will be com-|P™ i The Road and Bridge fund is a device for taking reve- nue from wealthy counties and transferring it to others whose resources are smaller and whose road building ojects consequently are more difficult to finance. It is into this fund that Amendment No. 1 proposes to put the si of gasoline tax receipts subtracted from the State Highway department’s prerating chest. t Approximately 40 per cent of all the gasoline tax revenue comes from three counties, Ramsey, Hennepin and St. Louis. Under the law not more than 9 per cent of the Road and Bridge fund can be distributed back to these three from the State Road and Bridge fund. The difference would go to sixty-five counties which receive more from the fund than they contribute. To these counties Amendment No. 1 may appear ad- vantageous. : But there are 87 counties in Minnesota. Three would lose money, would gain money, and 19 would get back only approximately what they would contribute to the fund in the form of gasoline taxes. These 19 or 20 counties have a sufficient vote to be decisive on the amendment. They will have noth- ing to gain by sing the amendment even from their own individual financial viewpoint.

Richmond, the Na- tional Museum’s associate curator of birds, who knows about more than 20,000 kinds of birds, says that the term “thickhead,” as used to de- scribe. this particnlar bird, has no relation to the popular understand- ing of the term. That is, the thick- head probably is no dumber and no smarter than the average bird. “Most all birds,” says Mr. Rich- mond, “operate under an inherited panes which is useful within certain limits, eee ferring money from one pocket to another. But to get an even break on the transaction, these counties would be compelled to match out of their own funds the amount allot by the state.

Infants and children up to the age in adults, even in the very aged. In the latter case the disease is quite ‘serious.

The whooping cough does not seem to be infectious after about two ‘weeks from the time of the appear- ance of the first whoop, although the coughing may persist for several months in severe cases. After the child has been exposed, there is gen- erally an incubation period of from four days to two weeks before the first whoop.
