New York's Crime Wave.
n the New York Tribune.


While men, women and children are being
merr1ly sandbagged. swindled. assaulted.
blackmailed and slaughtered. that part of
the public which can look away from the
anarchy for a moment Is being treated to
warlike but harmless spectacle on tho
side. The police commissioner cries that
the city magistrates are to blame for the
crime wave. in that they are excessively
lenient toward prisoners arraigned before
them. The accused magistrates parry the
thrust with blunt denial. saying that they
always hold defendants on the most serious
charge possible under the evidence. Then
some other officials. backed up by a host
of private citizens. declare that the police
themselves are entirely to blame. being sod
den with gin and graft. And so the lively
Tits of recrimination keep up to the fag-
ged end of the tournament; everybody
seems possessed with the hxed idea that
there Is one and only one guilty man or
department. The amusing circle of Mast s
famous cartoon Twas Her' appears
again.

The Hungarian "Unwritten Law"

While We Americans are worrying about
the tendency of our juries to return queer
verdicts and thus upset our established con-
captions of the lava and their significance.
there will be keen interest in the result of
trial in Vienna, just reported by cable
Hungarian peasant was charged with the
murder of his eighteen -year-old daughter
He admitted the killing. But pleaded justi-
fcation on the ground that the girl was so
lli-featured she had no chance Of marrying.
The jury decided that the plea established
extenuating circumstances and returned a
verdict of manslaughter The court ac-
cepted the verdict and imposed a sentence
of three years Imprisonment.
Fortunately this ''unwritten law" has not
found vogue in the United States up TO the
present. There IL no telling. however,

There is nothing so conducive to q
woman's self-respect as to be neatly
and fashionably glOved. "A lady is
known by her shoes and by her
gloves" 1t is an aphorism that has
stood the test of years.
Many m make the mistake of
thinking that n tight.ntting glove
causes the hand to look small.
Nothing Is farther from the truth, A
tight-ftting glove makes the hand
bulge in places so that it looks Ill, pro.
portioned. On the other hand, the
glove that Is too large gives a s~loYenly
appearance TO the hand. Everything
depends on the way the glove is put
on the first time. The glove which is
once put on crooked can never be

when you are sure of their quality.
