Police Commissioner Bingham of New
York. in an article for the North Ameri-
can Review, says that 80 per cent Of the
citv's crime is committed by Hebrews and
20 per cent by Italians, From these fig

with this problem viii be to create a Sc

known only to two or three persons. His
estimate is that 81 per cent of the popu-
Eation of the city is foreign born or of
foreign parentage. In his opinion the
Italian offenders are the greatest menace

The Tactful Doctor.

A physician in a small town in
Northern Michigan got himself into a
serious predicament by his inabIlty to
remember names and people. One day,
while making out a patients receipt,
his visitors name escaped him. Not
wishing to appear so forgetful, and
thinking to get clew, he asked her
whether she spelled her name with an

Character and Toilet.

Your everyday toilet is a part OF
your character. A girl who looks like
a fury" or a sloven in the morning is
not to be trusted, however finely she
may look in the evening. No matter
how humble your room may be, there
are eight things it should contain, viz
A mirror, washstand, soap, towel
comb, hair, nail and tooth brushes
These are just as essential as your
breakfast, before which you should
make good and free use of them.
