AYOR MITCHELL does well to begin the year with a deter- tained effort to round up the rowdies and pickpockets that infest the atreets of the city. Forty plain clothes men organized as a special squad ought to be IN MIU. BUT IT MAKES ME FA According to Chief Magistrate McAdoo: “The most dangerous criminal in the city to-day is the young tough between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five years. Few of them are more than twenty- thgee. They are like wolves roving the streets after dark.” That these young crooke have organizations to protect them,and Gpecial lawyers to defend them will surprise no one who has seen evi- dence of the readiness with which gangsters in this city undertake any crime from blackmail to murder with a cynical assurance that somebody will “get them off easy.” Chief Magistrate McAdoo is right when she says that a person found guilty of pocket-picking, even if it is a first offense, should be seat to reformatory or State prison. ‘To a prosperous thief a fine ds merely part of the game. _ With the help of special police required to do nothing save keep 'B lookout for crooks in subway and elevated crowds, moving-picture ‘theatres and like places, plenty of clean-cut evidence ought to be dimple? tert" This last wai who, coming upst S'matter Directly young sireet-prowlers find there is little chance of yet Sutomobile), had ting by the magistrates with fine or reprimand, the crook trust will Glesolve. .

HE St. Louis man who, because his wife served him stewed T rabbit for dinner, flew into a rage and threw it out of the window as too plebeian for his taste, is only another proof of the singular contempt that many Americans feel for rabbit as an article of food. * We wonder why? Properly cooked rabbit is fine, white meat of vare tenderness and flavor. Among people of our Southern States and in France it is a regular and welcome item of weekly fare. Pre- pared as good cooks prepare it, in small chunks with a delicious brown sauce, rabbit is a delight. It is far too cheap to appeal to most restaurant proprietors here- abouts. Nor has it ever found wide favor with American housewives— “probably because they don’t know how to cook it. We are glad to note that-the wife of the St. Louis man haled her fastidious husband into court and made him take a pledge to eat set before him for a year. If he gets nothing worse than rabbit he can be thankful. % It’s a dish that deserves more national consideration. —————-4-—_____. would know the value of money go and tr)\ to borrow he that goes a borrowing goes & sorrowing.
