It is that in Canada the penalties imposed for various crimes are much lighter than the penalties imposed for the same crimes in North Dakota and other states. What would be regarded as a light sentence here is thought to be a heavy one in Canada, where a three-to-five year prison term is regarded as unusually severe. Only the hardened criminal, whose record shows that he has em- barked on a criminal career as a means of getting a live- lihood, feels the full weight of the Canadian law. And he gets it in full measure. Having outlined these controlling facts, Mr. Berginan asked a few rhetorical questions. They were: “Is it not more likely to create a feeling of greater respect for the criminal law and its administration when it is known that a guilty person, brought to trial, is rea- sonably sure of: “1, Being convicted. recognize is nothing more than what is fair under i the circumstances. “3. Of staying convicted and actually serving the mod- erate sentence that is imposed.” Objections to heavier sentences, as outlined by Mr. Bergman, were: “1, The imposition of statutory safeguards of a nighly technical and inflexible nature to guard against the pos- sibility of an improper conviction. “2, It makes juries hesitate to convict, except in a copper-riveted case. “3, It makes appellate courts hesitate to uphold con- victions when the purely technical rights of the accused have been infringed, and thus leads to the severe, “and, , What some may regard as the excessive, punishment of the few and the escape of the many.” There was more along the same line with a great deal of pertinent information. Much of it was of the same general nature. At no time was Mr. Bergman a legal evangelist seeking to convert us to the Canadian system of jurisprudence. He was merely a well-informed man discussing the differences between the two systems. But what he said lends further strength to the already well-settled conviction of many citizens that what this country needs is fewer laws and the efficient *administration of those which really are necessary for the protection of the common weal; that the courts were instituted to administer justice, not to give lawyerg an cpportunity to display their brilliancy; that whetfier or net a man is convicted should rest upon the facts of the case, not upon the skill or lack of skill of a legal advo- cate; that the system of imposing heavy sentences and then not enforcing them is something of a legal mockery. At any rate there is this to be said for the Canadian svstem. The banks there have money in their vaults just as do the banks in North Dakota. But no Canadian banks have been robbed lately. Tackling the Home Problem President Hoover applied his commission policy to the solution of one of the most vital problems OY the times in this country when he named a body of citizens to in- vestigate the laggardness which has crept into home building. ' Homes have been the greatest moral factor in forming the character of the nation. It is natural, then, that a decline in building them should inspire uneasiness, that there should be fear that this might he a symptom of a new national ailment.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1930 and apartments with community virility. They suggest the easy drift, a decline in the fibre of family life, al slipping into habits that more and more rob men alla women of that self-reliance and individual capacity that has been the strength of America. The old log cabin once was our ideal and our glory.’ To exchange its ideals for the modern apartment expresses comfort and con- ven-ence, but it does not express character as our great smen of the Lincoln type, born in these humble homes, developed it. The rrore modern homes also produced their fine type of American. Out of them have come technicians, art- ists, great thinkers, statesmen, lawyers and doctors of wide fame and distinctive achievements. But, since the World wat, the building of houses to constitute such homes has faJlen into decay. In the big cities there has been a falling off. The vice president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, reporting last Decem- ber to the National Business Survey Conference of the United States Chamber of Commerce, named the preced- ing October as the “worst month that we have had in} our business in the last 50 years.” The condition tc at-! tributed partly to the lack of money for construction and | to excessive tax on real estate, pointing to New York | City, where 92 per cent of the tax burden there is borne | by real estate Similar conditions as to real estate taxes are found, of course, in nearly every city of the country. At the samo time the American Construction council reported a cecline of 33 1-3 per cent in dwelling house construction under the previous year's figures. This decline is not one of finance alone, though that is a big factor. It has come to the point where it now costs more to build a home. At the same time the sys- tem of real estate development has also made it easier to build, by loans, by building association assistance and by small down payments and the rest-of the price in in- stallments as rent is paid. It is encouraging, therefore, that the United States Building and Loan league has taken up the problem and is going to try to bring the country back to a building Program again. It means to increase its investors from ing for the benefit of home builders. If this drive and the steps that may be devised as a result of the president's action in creating the home Problem commission bring results they will not only remedy a social condition, but they may be the means of restoring to the country its old employment capacity and thus solve another national ailment of the times. The commission which the president named will un- dertake systematic survey and study of all the factors that bear on home ownership—financing, design, equip- ment, city planning, transportation, etc. The goal of such research is not remedial legislation, but an assem- bly of facts that will stimulate private enterprise in answering the demand for home ownership by bringing the purchase of a home within the means of the average wage earner. EAs corse Editorial Comment A Corn Shortage and Wheat Prices (Minneapolis Journal) In many sections of the country, heat and drouth have seriously damaged corn. A corn shortage probably would have the effect, first of sending livestock prices down, due to drastic reduction of herds in the face of a feed famine, and then of sending livestock prices soar- ing, due to # shortage of animals.

But if the corn harvest is merely reduced to a point a few hundred million bushels below feeding needs, would that not just about wipe out the vexatious ac- cumulation of unwanted wheat, while at the same time saving the livestock producer from the necessity of sacrificing his product?

World Court Judges (New York Times) The Times correspondent at Geneva singled out in the his special dispatch of yesterday the fact that the Ameri- can nominators have not yet named candidates for the World Court. Like the other national groups, tlicy are entitled to propose four men, though but two can come from their own country. Several Americans have been Proposed for the election which is to come in September, but all of them have been put forward by other nations. It is a matter of comment at Geneva that our own nominators have not yet made a selection. In some quarters it is hinted that they will not do it at all this year, since the United States has not yet ratified the Protocol for adherence to the World Court. Bul this did Rot prevertt the choice of Judge Moore as a member of the World Court, nor, when he resigned, that of Judge Hughes, The widespread desire that there should be at least one American judge is shown by the fact that other national groups have already placed in nomination five or six Americans, The composition of the World Cours as It is to be made up in September, will be subje .s vo close scrutiny. It is expected that a few of the s@.ng judges will be | designated again, but several new ones are to be added. | One danger which has somewhat troubled friends of the World Court is lest the new members of it may be chosen less as impartial judges, eminent in their knowledge of international law, than as official representatives, or actual agents, of their home governments. Already a ten- dency in that direction has been detected. It must be resisted and overcome if the World Court is to continue to function as a body that thinks, not of national inter- ests, but of an absolute justice that knows nothing of territorial boundaries or pretensions. To this eid it is plainly desirable that an American judge of unquestioned learning ang/demonstrated independence should sit with the others. If our nominators are to act at all, they must do so quickly. Should they agree upon an Ameri- can name, there can be no doubt that the others would quickly drop their tentative selections and fall in with a choice felt to be, not onlyproper in itself, but distinc- tively American, Civil Disobedience (Duluth Herald), It will not be easy for the British authorities to laugh off the civil disobedience of many of the people of India. It means that a large part of the people are in rebellion against the laws, and indifferent to punishment for legal disobedience. In fact, these unarmed rebellious, with their parades, their occupancy of public places, their boycotts, and their songs and lamentations, are a most serious problem. In this country the criminal is disobedient to the laws. But he believes in the necessity for law, breaks it, hides from it, confesses, denies or goes to prison, not as one defying the law, but as one in general rebellion. Ameri- can criminals generally admit the wisdom of laws even when they are lawbreakers. The only case where civil disobedience is practiced here is against prohibition. It is a secret civil dis- obedience. Millions sincerely believe that prohibition has no place in the criminal code and is an invasion of right. But @ very large group, even of those who are wet in feeling, does not practice open civil disobedience to pro- hibition. Their infractions of it are usually furtive, al- though persistent. Probably if large numbers did not expect a modification of prohibition extremism, they would drift into civil disobedience. But they do not wish that, for most of these are believers in law and order, although they condemn prohibition as a crude survival. If there were General civil disobedience in any Ameri- can city, conditions would forthwith become intolerable. It is bad enough now in some things, but, for ail that, | practically all people opey or pretend to obey the laws jand ordinances. It is not good merely to pretend to | obey, and yet that pretense of obedience carrics a nec- | essary element of respect for legality. It is tfSually more prudent than defiant. although not more honest. It is not civil disobedience which is glorigd in, | : 3 3 oe o 3 w ® ° 5 Q s 5 a Today Is the Anniversary of pubal soe BATTLE OF BENNINGTON On Aug. 16, 1777, one of th2 most significant battles of the Revolution took place when a force of New Hampshire milttia under* General John Stark defeated a combined force of Hessians, British Loyalists and Indians at Bennington, Vermont. They were sent to Bennington by General John Burgoyne to capture the depot of supplies which the Americans were reported to have there. As the invaders were utterly ignorant of the country, as well as of the Revolutionists’ methods of warfare, they were easily trapped, surrounded and captured. Of a force of about 1,000, more than 200 were killed and wounded, 70 returned to Burgoyne and the rest taken prison- ers. The American loss was 14 killed and 42 wounded. Washington called this victory a “great stroke” because it prevented Burgoyne from getting the supplies he sorely needed and cut off all com- munication between him and the garrison. Further, it resulted in the desertion of a large body of Indians and Canadians, while it ‘greatly strengthened the Americans, par- ticularly by causing the enlistment of large bodies of militia for service under General Gates.

You might have waited for me, I think. It wasn’t so late as all that, but Mr. Punch had a headache, so I followed you quickly—didn't I, Mr. Punch? She raised her eyes to Gideon's big white face, and smiled. When she looked at the man and he looked back at her out of his pale eyes, shamed and angry, but covet- ous as evgr, she knew that her revenge was at hand. Judy had the satisfaction of see- ing that Madame de Toros looked ING. CORALIE STANT COPYRIGHT _I950 other she had played up to her brother. No doubt he had lied to her; and now she had found him out. Her dark, bold, humorous eyes went from Judy’s face to his, and they expressed as clearly as possible: “So you have been fooled, my good man!” “Yes, Thirza, I had a beastly headache that night,” he said ex- pansively. “I don’t know what it was, except perhaps the rotten show we went to. That ballet danced about as well as I could!” “Or the champagne you drank at supper, Mr. Punch,” Judy put in, regardless of her rudeness, see- ing that his sister had drunk al- most as much. eee HE was simply a doormat spread out under Judy’s feet. Madame de Toros smiled. Gideon called a cab, and saw his sister into it, Judy waved from the pavement. Madame de Toros waved back. There was a look of admiration in her dark eyes, “Miss Judy, I want to talk to you very seriously,” Gideon said. “We can’t talk out of doors, Will you—" ; “Come back to my hotel,” she said.

It occurs in almost every type of in- dustry which necessitates handling white lead paints. ‘The lead enters the body very grad- ually, and it seems to enter through dust or vapor. Most cases of metal poisoning may be prevented by keep- ing the dust and‘fumes from entering the mouths and noses of the workers. , The symptoms of this form of pois- oning are abdominal pains, constipa- tion, and a peculiar leaden hue of the gums, the palate, and even the skin. When this poisoning becomes chronic, it produces severe kidney disorders, paralysis, and sometimes blindness. Death from lead poisoning resembles the symptoms of blood poisoning. Another type of industrial polson- ing which is very frequently met with but not often recognized is mercury poisoning, caused by an excessive contact with mercury. When “frying gold” was practiced, these cases were fairly common. The mercury was used to absorb the gold by amaiga- mation from the small rock and gravel with which the gold is mixed, and the mercury was evaporatec from a frying pan, leaving the gold as a residue. " There are other occupations that use mercury, and usually precautions are taken to avoid this poisoning. This disorder is very insidious, as its worst effects often do not oceur until many years have passed. It produces symptoms very similar to those of ad- vanced syphilis, such as paralysis and softening of the brain. Phosphorus poisoning at one time was quite common in match factories, but modern methods of preparing the phosphorus have almost eliminated this disease.

You have never introduced me to your friends. I should never have known your sister but that we met by accident, and she was nice to me. I like your sister,” she added, with a touch of defiance, “She's a good sort.” “She would welcome you,” said. He looked at her and held his breath. “You really want me to marry you?” she asked. “I want it more than anything on earth.” Sie: knew the note that came into his voice. She held up her cool little hand. “Listen, Mr. Punch!” she said. “Long ago there was a room, some: where in New York, and in that room there were easels with pic- tures on them, and a lot of beauti- ful furniture. On the floor there was a lovely ‘white bearskin rug, and on that boarskin rug sat Judy Grant one afternoon, and a tall screen hid her. “From the next room came two gentlemen well known in New York —very well known, indeed—real gentlemen, they were! And they came in and were talking about little Judy Grant, the artist’s model. ‘What a pity she’s not the sort of girl one could marry!’ one of them said; and the other said he didn't think of marriage, although he was keen on the girl. ‘If one did marry, it wouldn’t be a little Judy Grant!’ he added. Now, weren't they real gentlemen, Mr. Punch?” Gideon had wholly forgotten the incident; but {t came back to him that he and Stornaway had vaguely he he said, His voice trembled so that he could hardly get the words out. “I was drunk, Judy, believe me, I was drunk!” “We'll leave it at that, swered carelessly. “Wh: want to talk to me about?”, “Judy, do tell me that you for- give me! I can’t rest until you've said so. It was unpardonaple, It was monstroys!: She smiled ever so slightly. She knew that what he meant was, “It was unsuccessful.” She had no il- lusions about him. “Considering I’m sitting talking to you here, I must have forgiven you, mustn’t I?” she said. : She was not afraid of him any more. There was nothing to be afraid of. She had conquered him for good and all. She had him in the hollow of her hand. “Judy,” he said, “will you marry me?” He cculd hardly get the words out, The sweat stood in beads on his forehead. He might have been foolish, What she thought Judy did not know; but in some way or @ raw gambler staking everything he had, discussed Judy one afternoon, while looking at the sketch of her that Stornaway had done. “Good gracious, you were there!” he exclaimed, spluttering. “But of course that was nonsense? You musn’t take any notice of that.” “I don’t know that I did,” she answered, “Judy, don’t be cruel!” he plead- ed, “I know I’ve been a fool—an utter fool; but now I’ve come to my senses, and I know there's only one thing in this world I want— to make you my wife.” ER head was a little on one side, as she surveyed him. In the back of her eyes the light of keen enjoyment glowed brightly. “Mr. Punch,” she said sweetly, “I wasn’t good enough to marry you when you and Mr. ‘Stornaway were talking about me, Why am I now? Is it because I’ve done some- thing? Because I’m a dancer? I'm imot any different myself, truly I'm $= Judy,” he said thickly, 's be cause I can’t live without you that I want you to Be my wife.” Then there came the great mo- ment, the completion of Judy’s plan and purpose, the accomplishment of her revenge for the slight that this man had put upon per and upon all women of her class, There was before her eyes the vision of a big motor car, with a handsome, dissipated-looking man sitting in it bestde a young woman —a pale girl, with yellow-brown, fantastic curls and turquoise-blue eyes—a girl who wore pearls of fabulous size—a girl who looked cool on a very hot day—Gertie Clarendon, once a chorus girl. Judy remembered that hot day vividly, and what Clara Jenks, her com- panion, had said. And now she leaned forward, her little hand upraised, as if she were teaching this big man a lesson, her face white and a little strained in this moment of her triumph, but her eyes laughing and her voice sweet and pleasant. » Mr. Punch,” she said. “You it's because you can’t get me any other way!” Gideon looked at her, his faco suffused, his mouth open. He breathed snoringly, She thought he was going to have a fit. “And, Mr. Punch,” she went on, with all the laughter in the world in her voice, “I'm very much hon- ored, but I don’t want to be your. wife, thank you all the same!” » Gideon stared at Judy, oT “But why—why?” He was recovering control of himself. “Ever since I was quite a kid,” Judy replied, “I've vowed that I would never marry until I fell in love. I've always thought it took a lot to make marriage worth while.” “But you don’t know what you're talking about!” he insisted. “You, don’t know what you're throwing away!
