CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Of Little Service Little space was given to the de- mise of the Wickersham Crime Com- mission which started out with high hopes of settling some of the dis- tressing social problems of the na- tion. On June 30th, the commission expired, leaving behind it a most conflicting report on prohibition and a frank admission that as a fact- finding body little had been accom-|as contrasted with that in Minnesota Plished. |and other sta * “accurate data,” declares the com-|be reluctant to vote more money to mission, “are the beginning of wisdom in such a subject.” Members of the | commission found that crime statis- | our highway policies has the courage | tics were meagre, unreliable and in- complete. chief handicap of the commission, whose reports will gather dust in the national archives.

Many states maintain departments) devoted to prevention and detection of crime, There is still another step to take, the compilation of actual) using methods lon) lin other states. crime statistics. If uniform methods were used by the federal government and the states in compiling informa- tion about crime, it would be easier to cope with the problem, Beating Time Itself! ! In reporting the Post-Gatty flight,’ the United Press has a very interest- ing statement of what happens to the time record of the world en- circling aviators. In their flight | around the world heading eastward,| always into a rising sun, they were 14 hours ahead of New York time when they™ reached Khabarovsk. Reaching New York they beat old father time out of 24 hours, The United States explains: | “The balance is attained at the} 180th meridian, out in the Pacific, known as the ‘International Date Line.’ There the eastbound traveler Joses all he has gained, and the clock/ is set back 24 hours. Thus, if Post and Gatty reach the Hne, in the Aleutian Islands, at noon Tuesday, Iocal time, as soon as they cross the} line, it becomes noon Monday, Aleu- tian time. “Thus the curious thing may occur that they may reach Nome before they started from Khaborovsk by the clock.” Here and In England When James Bannon was com- mitted to the North Dakota peniten- tiary, Warden Turner declared that | the prison population was the highest in the history of the state. That sit- uation exists in most states and the tragedy of it all is that the problem of unemployment is as acute within as without prison walls—except ad the unemployed behind the prison) bars get three square meals a day. As a contrast with conditions in ‘America, it is heartening to know that crime is abating in some nations ot the world and more especially in England where the prison population thas decreased to an amazing degree since 1913. Since 1913, the British prison cen- sus shows, there has been a decrease in population from 18,000 to 10,861 and the number of prisons is now 29 instead of 56. There has also been ® sharp decline in indictable of- tenses. A record to boast of.

Finds Paving Pays Minnesota has adopted.a highway system which will give the state a | network of paved highways. In 1932} more than 400 miles of paving will be laid. Paving jobs finished or to be completed before next winter will total 439 miles, Experience has shown in Minnesota that each mile of paving increases the proporition of the state's revenue that can go to paving in succeeding jyears. Extension of the concrete jroads reduces the amount of money | to be devoted each year to the main- tenance of graveled and earth roads. Anticipating income, highway offi- cials of Minnesota struck out boldly and accomplished a bond issue which is to be retired from gasoline tax and other sources of highway revenue, so | that the waste of keeping up graveled roads for arterial systems will cease, We ust BEEN DRILLING SOME HOLES TO LET THE WATER.

SATdLAAASG SO Meeting Truck Competition From St. Paul comes the announce- ment that the Northern Pacific rail- way will inaugurate door-to-door freight delivery service between Scat-| tle-Tacoma on the west and the Yak- ima valley from Cle Elum to Ken- newick east of the Cascade moun- tains. The service will be conducted by the Northern Pacific Transport company, a subsidiary corporation owned by the railway. The Northern Pacific is arranging with local trucking companies to call for the freight to and from the rail- way direct to the consignee’s doors, In this manner the shipments will be in direct charge of the railway at all times. Many railroads throughout the na- tion are meeting truck competition and they are also becoming associated with air transport agencies. It is all @ trend of the times and other new services must be installed by the rail- roads to keep pace with the rapid de- velopment of transportation. Dimin- ishing revenues, due to many com- Petitive factors, have forced the rail- roads to abandon their old policy of sitting tight while others scampered BEGIN HERE TODAY A few y MRS, CLEESPAUGH, a Liane’ stay with winte; lover am dines wi NOW GO ON WITH SV OTHER, how about asking Mr. Walters if I’m to have that job as a dress model at Hendel’s?” Liane asked, It was the last week of August, the week after Liane’s adventure with the bandits.

THE STORY CHAPTER X "Cass stamped her foot in its frayed satin mule. ‘Give it to me this minute. Do you hear >” Cass determined to take the plunge. “Mrs. Cleespaugh wants you to stay with her this winter,” she said tremulously and was surprised at the response the young girl gave. She flushed and smiled. Her soft eyes were lighted charmingly, “You like the prospect?” Cass ked in amazement, She thought the old lady something of a Gorgon herself. “It—it might be fun,” Liane fal- tered. “Oh Mums, not that I shouldn’t mind being away from you! Of course I’d hate that. But you safd yourself that you'd have to be going on the road and I can’t trail along. This—honestly now— doesn’t it look like a gift from the gods?” Cass had to admit {t did. With a heavy heart she said, “It’s settled then? You want to tell her you'll come?” “Well, mother,” Liane looked grave, “it seems a sensible thing to do. I could at least earn my living that way. It'll be better than the ribbon counter.” surveying it in disgust. “I must throw some of it away.” She leaned over and fished out a pile of old letters, a battered scrap book with an imitation leather cover, Liane, sorting stockings, looked up. “Anything interesting there?” she asked.

Then you have Coney to yourself. On the way out you can read how 2,000,000 people somehow got there and back just the day before. But now a chill, drizzling rain blows in from the sea. The boardwalk Slistens with strangely shaped re- Nections from the abandoned miles of bulb-studded parks and carnivalia. Ticket sellers for the hundred-and- one attractions squat under gayly striped umbrellas and shout gossip to each other.

Their audience consists of a few red-coated musicians from the Slovakian band, some park em- Ployes and @ dozen hardy visitors. Yet, with that disciplined routine that marks the circus act, they risk their necks for “the big free show.” ‘The white tights must be rain-soaked; in fact, the drizzle forms a sort of fantastic screen that often makes the figures seem like those jumpy scenes in an old-fashioned moving picture.
