COMMON SENSE IN CLEVELAND.
The Men and Measures That Have Marked Progress in the Ohio City.

The common sense policy of the po- lice department there is but part of larger policy which has characterized Cleveland's attitude of mind toward the poor and the unfortunate. a policy which grew up under the inspiration of Mayor Tom L. Johnson, Director of Charities and Correction Harris R. Cooley, and City Solicitor Newton D. Baker. Here are men actually in the work of practical politics. who believe that poverty. vice, and crime are large ly the result of laws made by men, and not of the weakness, badness, nor i'm competence of humanity They think these things are symptoms of social disorder. They trace poverty, and the vice and crime which spring from it. to it's origin in land monopoly. and the law-made privileges like the tariff. the private ownership Of railways. and the franchise corporations of our cities And, believing that these evils come from some other cause than the fault of people themselves, they are trying to cure the disease by destroying it's cause
 It is these men who started CleVe- land on the business of human fife saving Boys and girls are cared for on playgrounds, of which there are a score, scattered all over the city. There are public baths and above the bath houses are gymnasiums. In the sum- mer there are band concerts. carniVals school contests, and all sorts Of organ fXed recreation in the parks. There are bathing beaches along the lake. There are no Keep off the grass" signs in the parks. In the winter there are skating carnivals. The bad boys and girls are watched over by the juvenile court and its probation officers. Ju- venile offenders are never taken to the police court; they are watched at home. When these agencies fail they are sent out to "Boyville," an attract i've farm colony with thirteen cottages and schools and workshops where there are opportunities for both work and play. There is no suggestion of a prison here. There are no policemen and no obvious reform >chool methods. By these means crime is checked in it's early stages.
 And vice. close kin to crime, is watched over by similar process. For years there have been no gambling houses in Cleveland and no gambling paraphernalia Gambling was stamped out with an aX. There are no slot ma chimes in the saloons, and no poolrooms. Gamblers. saloon keepers, and the vii cious classes generally are controlled by police administration rather than by crusades, raids, and wholesale arrests. There is little or no street soliciting, and when arrests are made for this of fense men are taken, as well as women. When Mayor Johnson was elected. he found the salaries of police court offi- cers were paid out of fines collected from raids upon disorderly houses. Even the judges received their salaries from this source. The city was in part nership with vice. He stopped this, saying that if Cleveland could not af- ford to pay the salaries of it's judges without raiding unfortunate women, the courts would have to go without funds
 Cleveland controls vice by repression. To a considerable extent, at least the temptations, allurements, and profit

Automobiles for War.

IIoiII ~ kCPOI
Responding to mn American inquiry,
Consul General Thackara of Berlin,
says OF the subsidies granted by the
German government for motor trucks
for army service:
Subsidies are granted by the Ger
man government to owners of indus
trial automobile vans, provided the
vans and motors are constructed ac-
cording to the specifications Of the war
department and the owner enters into
a contract with the military authori-
ties to place the trucks at the govern
Inent's disposal whenever the army Is
modified, and to keep the trucks al
ways in such a condition during a pc
Rod Of five years that they can be util-
lied for military purposes. The cars
are tested by military experts to as
certain IL they fulfil the requirements
of the specifications, and are subject to
inspection by army officials at any
time. Sales of subsidized truck dur
ing the %ive-year period can only be
made in Germany, and then only on
the condition that the buyer binds
himself to carry out the terms Of the
~unexpired contract. Sales Of the sub
sidized trucks to residents of foreign
countries are not permissible. The
subsidies granted are 1900 marks ($952)
for each motor van and trailer and
an annual payment Of 1000 marks
($23S) for five years"

h Beauty Dies,

Should change fall in its fated hour;
Should music cease, should darkness be
Should star n sun and face and flower
Turn dust of beauty endlessly,
Beloved, what Of you and me?
I question how. by finer sense,
The soul adventures ways unknown,
Or what shall be it's recompense
For death? what loneliness atone
For earth's green glory sadly flown?
Yet, since I need nor touch, nor sight,
Nor spoken. word, however dear,
To read you thought and will Alright,
To know your spirit, now and here,
What has our fellowship to fear?
Mans age-long doubt assails In vain
The truth that lightens In your eyes,
Or your still courage, bred of pain:
Beyond the wreck of worlds and skies,
1 shall seek these, when beauty dies.

Rare Dishes for Japs.

In Japanese provinces which are sc
distant from the sea that fresh fish car
not be obtained readily, and where
meat is not abundant, snakes and liz
ards are considered good food and are
prepared in many ways. Grasshoppers
rank among the real delicacies. They
are always kept in captivity without
food for a day, then bathed and de-
capitated and made legless. Heads
and legs must be torn off, never cut,
They are served in various ways, but
dry with a salad dressing is the most
popular. An insect Of the fee family
which lives in the earth is also much
sought. These are served with sugar
and honey when eaten raw, but they
are also made into a porridge. The
chrysanthemum exists not only in the
poetry and art of the japanese, but has
an important place on the table, where
it Is met as salad, candy and stew.
