FRENGH AVATOR ONFLEATTOL.S. Costes and Lebrix Leave| Mexico City on Hop to New Orleans. By the Associated Press MEXICO CITY. February 4.—Dieu- onne Costes and Joseph Lebrix, famous French fiyers who were the first to make a non-stop flight across the South Atlantic, left Mexico City today for a isit to the United States. The French airmen took off from Valbuna Airfield at 7:08 am. (8:08 Eastern standard time) on a long hop for New Orleans, which they hope to reach in about 10': hours, The “Nungesser-Coli,” named after the two famous French flyers who perished in their ill-fated effort to span the Atlantic between Paris and New York last year, started through a pass in the mountains toward Tampico. The plane, which has touched the scorching coast of Africa. has traversed thousands of ‘miles over the South Atlantic and |South America and is now headed for the United States. was escorted by four army planes, one of which was piloted by Gen. Jose Alvarez, chief of the presi- dential staff. Just before the departure, Gen Alvarez personally carried the best wishes of President Calles to the Frenchmen for a safe and pleasant journey. In the crowd which had gathered to see the take-off were members of the diplomatic corps as well as the entire stafl of the French embassy. aj. Harold Thompson represented the United States embassy. | Just before the Nungesser-Coli, a bi- plane. left the field the Frenchmen said that they wanted to send greetings to the American peoples whom they were about to visit. The Nungesser-Coli carried 450 gal- lons of gasoline for the trip. Weather reports indicated cloudy weather with a threatening storm be- tween Mexico and Tampico and along the coast toward Texas, but it was be- lieved that this would not be bad enough to cause the fiyers any trouble. After making a beautiful start the Frenchmen circled the field and then swung over Mexico City for about half an hour. dropping ,handbills in Span- ish and French bidding farewell to the Mexican people and expressing thanks for their welcome here. o |FORWARD STEP TAKEN IN WAR AGAINST WAR ;Lengue of Nations Decides to Re- main Constantly in Session Every Day and Night.

If they were to blame the Nation will demand that some sort of punishment be meted out. | Cruisers Only for Scouting. “But what will the American people say to the present staff of the Navy and the general board if we so shape our policy that when war comes our boys are forced ip‘o a worse position than the bovs on the 8-4? History will not exculpate us if for any reason. knowing the requirements of modern battle, we sav to our children and our children’s children that we were un- | willing to give them a chance.” In regard to the present construction program he said that under heavy gun fire cruisers were “no better than paste- board” and that their function was scouting and protecting shipping. “If we had asked for more.” he said, ‘we might well be criticized for appear- ing to seek great naval power. but until we replace what we sacrificed on the altar of peace we should not be criti- cized.” PROGRAM OF MUSIC | 350 Children Participate in Special Demonstration at Cen- tral High.

Louis J. Schwefel Tells Young People Press Gives Wrong Impression. Declaring that statistics for the last 13 years show a decided decrease in almost every form of crime, Rev. Louis J. Schwefel, rabbi of the Sixth Street Synagogue, last night told a gathering of young people at the synagogue that the present-day impression of the prev- alence of crime is due to the enormous amount of space given such news in the newspapers. There is now not nearly as much | crime as in the past, Dr. Schwefel said,’] and the newspapers should recognize this fact and lessen instead of increas- | ing the prominence accorded the ac- counts of extraordinary offenses. There is less serious crime among Jews than any other race. the speaker indicated. ‘The modern methods of dealing with criminals are entirely wrong and do not tend to prevent further commission of the same crime, he said. He advo- cated the abandonment of capital pu ishment and jail sentences, and de- clared that criminals should be treated as sick people in need of education and | wholesome environment. He would sub- stitute a probationary em of han- dling criminals for the accepted method. | Term jail sentences do mnot reform criminals or deter uthy but only protect society temporarily instead of striking at the root of the evil. he said. indicating that under a probationary svstem a large proportion of habitual r{flmlnnls would become an asset to so- clety.

She lived with her husband for some time in an unpretentious flat in Evanston, a North Shore suburb, and when his business required that he move to Indianapolis she went along. “It wasn't the smaller town that caused the divorce,” Miss Reed said yes- || terday. as quoted by today's Herald and Examiner. “In fact, I really enjoyed | it.
