The Crime of Switching.

"snitcher'' is an epithet of scorn
and hate in the reform schools.
When the boys whom the State is
trying to rescue from crime, turn ON
one of their number christening
him "Snitcher," it's fair indication
that he has sunk too low for the
lowest. But this tribunal Of young
criminals does not deal in psy-
chology; sometimes its judgment
errs widely. "The Snitcher," by
Fred L. Boalt in the April McClure's
is powerful story of this kind. So
persistent is the prosecution of the
''Snitcher' by officers and inmates
that he is forced to a deed of. ire
mendous violence.

the lease annulled On the ground
that it was contrary to law. The

The impact was so terrific that sew

wrenched and twisted and the fact
that the couplings did not break on
the dining, tourist and sleeping cars
was the only thing that averted even
greater loss of life.
