When an Ttallan sees spaghetti he asks no questions, When, by a gentle tugging on the spaghetti ropes, I knew that most of the enemy were eating, 1 be- gan feeding drop by drop through the tubes a heavy cordial made by the men of St. Bezatz, The result was inevitable. A few moments after I had begun the cordial treatment, I heard, at intervals, the erash of our adversaries as they 100s- ened their hold and fell into the valley below. At that altitude they could not stand more than a few drops of the Liquor of §t, Bezatz.

Must not the eriminal laws be amend The reform must begin outside the courts Most of the inmates of the penitenti- avies o Jess than 25 years of age. The sale of oplum and simi. lar drugs accounts for much erime, In the past two and a half years 10,000 addiets have been arrested in New York city, of whom 70 per cent had crim- inal ords, The facility with which revolvers can be bought and carried on the person is sin- fster. In New York alone last year 147 pRrsons were killed with revolvers, The administration of justice s no doubt at faunlt, but fewer criminals would be brought before the courts if more atten- tion were paid to the reform of eriminals.” That morals are low and that a combination of clrcumstances has contributed to their being reflected in criminal statistics, can scarcely be denied. Yet it is doubtful if the re- form of morals can be attained in any other fashion than by correctional punishment. When the person with a low moral standard realizes that punishment is unlikely, especially if he is in a posi- tion to employ exceptional legal tal- inhibiting his actions is eliminated. The hard facts remain that in a recent year there were 260 murders in New York city alone, and in the same years there were only 63 mur- ders in England and Wales, with geven times the population of New York city. London is a larger city than New York, and opium and other drugs probably are obtained just as easily, The dregs of humanity in London are just as low down in the human scale as in New York; some say they are lower. In 1923 about 10,000 murders were committed in the United States, which was 50 times more than in England and Wales. Casper H. Yost told the recent meeting of the Bar Association that “in the United States life and proper- ty are less secure from criminal vio- lence than in any other country on the globe that is not in a state of barbarism." Without doubt our morals need re- forming—but s&o does our law en- forcement. We need punishment that is certain and severe. FEnglish jus- tice has shown that nothing halts crime so effectually as quick trials de- void of sentimentality and technical- fties—and quick and unerring pun- ishment.

As a matter of fact, the department is equipped for this unusual duty with proper masks and a balloon shaped net. One swarm settled in a tree in Potsdamer Patz, which is the Fifth avenue and 42nd street of Berlin, and being somewhat angry agnoyed pedes- trians. The other swarm selected a residential district and in both cases the firemen gathered them in deftly while the crowds applauded.
