woman who has committed some crime but
who is not habitually evil. Often she will lie,
too, telling her story, false in important par
ticulars, to an accompaniment of sObs and
tears. Now, policemen are human. They
have synpathies the same as other men, and
the crying woman sometimes-not rntre-
ouently, in fact-nduces them to believe
stories that would have proved quite ineffec-
tive without that baptism of tears.
SIN Los Angeles, and imagine elsewhere
as we'll, we are confronting a constant in
crease in the number of drug Victims and
here, too, there's marked difference in the
sexes The drug habit is immediate and COM
plete degradation for a woman; a man some
times fights it for years, retaining the respect
of his friends and continuing successful in
business, but in the end it gets him.
"'Dope, as it is called makes criminals
lust as certainly as it makes slaves. There
are fewer dope fiends among women than
among men. Perhaps, however, that's be-
cause the woman succumbs earlier The re-
spectacle woman has small opportunities for
appeasing a drug appetite, but with man
it is different The woman drug fend, from
the first. is horribly Incorporate. She loses
caste at once and takes the drug constantly
and in ever-increasing quantities to make her
forget her degradation. The man travels
slower, but his destination is the same and
he arrives there just as unfailingly.
"The liquor habit is bad enough, but the
drug habit absolutely enslaves its victims.
The dope fiend is incapable of telling the
truth and the police realize this as well as
alienists. The fend or slave, must get the
drug and will stop at nothing to accomplish
that purpose The result is crime.

are pitifully few, and I'm not expecting to run
anv chances I've lived too long already to
regard such possibility with equanimity.'
1T is fact-a curious one, perhaps, in a
police chief, that Alexander Galloway sees
good in all things and in all men. He is no
tyrant of the Third Degree" Indeed, he
denies the existence of any such thing and
SAYS that it certainly does not exist in the
Los Angeles department.
1t is difficult to imagine him cross-ques-
tioning a cringing criminal, yet he admits
without bubble that these police eXamina-
tions are a necessary and important part OF
police work and confesses that he has taken
part in not few of them.
"Theres no cruelty, though" he insisted,
nothing like making a man stand up tor
hours at a time, no threats, no long continued
questioning, no insults and no protan-
ity. We don't employ kindergarten methods
in dealing with habitual criminals, but neith-
er do we abuse them physically or verbally
There's curious thing about these ex-
amnatiOns. In a vast majority OF cases we
are more successful with men than with wo-
men The woman-the woman criminal I'm
talking about now, mind you--is a much bet
ter liar than the man. | don't know why but
it's a fact. She lies easier and more convinc-
inglv, and she's much harder to entrap. The
woman criminal can string you along, look
ing as innocent as child, and sometimes She
can make you believe things you know aren't
so. She doesn't employ so much discretion
in her lies as man criminal, but we can
trip her so easily Notwithstanding.

criminal kind. Then, we have another-the

of 81 per bushel on the farm. The
total seed production in the United
States is from 25,000,000 to 27,000,O00
bushels.
If the farmers of the northwestern
states will pay more attention to this
crop they will find it to be probably as
profitable as any other that can he

The Important seed-crushing mills
are located at Buffalo, Minnesota, New
York and Chicago. These take care
of about 80 per cent of the oil and
seed.
Professor H. L. Bolley, botanist Of
the North Dakota station, has made
an exhaustive study of fax cultivation
and his conclusions are that, generally
speaking, the flax crop may be said to
grow best in the colder parts of the
temperate regions. Seed may be grown
on soils under conditions similar to
that of successful spring wheat culti-
vation, while the fiber Of the crop is
at present produced in the regions Of
heavy rains and somewhat colder.

The crop also possesses other gen.
eral capabilities or varieties which al
low of the production of farm crops of
seed flax, at least to the southern linn,
its of winter wheat producing regions.
1t has been thought that flax de.
mands very fertile soil, but Prof.
Bolley's experiment illustrates that it
it is not particularly hard on the soil,
in that in some parts of the Red River
valley the soil is too fertile for the
growth of flax crop when atmos.
phereic soil moisture is normal. He
finds, in fact, that much better crops
of wheat may be raised after flax than
after wheat
Too much moisture throughout the
growth season results in weak and i'm
perfect stems and poor seed Severe
drought in time of Towering or seed
ripening is also harmful It is nec-
essary, therefore, to provide type Of
soil which will maintain to the last
sufficient supply of moisture. Sup.

stand very severe heating and drought.
