this is the case in the big city, and
many evidences point to the con-
clusion that there is kind of free
masonry among these foreign pro-
prietors of refreshment parlors
which would make it entirely natural
and convenient for the proprietor of
the city establishment of this kind,
who is entangled in the white
slave trade, to establish relations
with a man in the same business
and OF the same nationality in the

infer by this that all ice cream and

greater frankness between parents

should have a sex education at home

II up from communicating sources

may add that the world owes a debt

of travel every year. clean all the
officials. and leave about $4.000,000
in addition for the support OF hospit-
ais.
In addition to this vast sum S42,-
605,47a was spent in the greater city
for the detection. punishment and
prevention OF crime. Crime during
the past year exacted also s424,1s0
for the maintenance of the district at

Throughout the whole country
more than 100000 inmates OF aims

more than sS2.000.000 annually. In
New York alone the proportion Of the

amounts to s7s,Sss, 100. Through
other channels the total probably ex-
ceeds 25,000.000, so that New York
city has the record of having the
highest crime tax in the United

Throughout the country the direct
cost of crime is estimated at $4,000
