PATRIOTIC FFRV0R FOR WAR A AFFECTS
 EVEN CRIMINALS

London, October 26-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The patriotic fer vor over the war has touched the souls of even burglars. pickpockets and strong arm men. London's police records prove it, for crime has fallen off nearly 40 per cent since the war began.
 Praise is due the criminals,'' said Rob- ert Wallace, K. C.. in ada essing the grand jury at the London sessions for the self-control they are exercising dur ing this period of stress and anxiety"
 A well known social reformer, com nenting on this, attributes much of crime to the ebullient animal spirits of youths brought up in wretched surroundings. De- fiance of law and order offers them d means to escape from their dull drab en- vironment and to indulge their propensi- ties for romance and adventure. This they now prefer to seek at the cannon'e mouth A cross of honor or corporal $ stripes for valiant service may reclanl many who have heretofore been consid- cred candidates for the yallows
 The annual report of the prison commits sioners for the past year show there has been a general decrease in crime all over Britain. Sentences to penal seryitude are 797 as against S71 in the preceding year. while the imprisonments of all classes are 135, 40 against 149, 552.
 British reform, the substitution of kind and helpful treatment for the harsh dis ciplinary methods of old, and mercy for young offenders is held responsible for the change.

TOMMY ATKINS EATS
 5000 CALORIES A DAY

london. October 2s.-(Special Cores pondence of the Associated Press.) Thomas Atkins eats 5000 calories day. Formerly he had only 1000, but the army medical board said it was no, enough. and had the war department raise the ration by a thousand ca lories.
 A calory is not in itself food or n measure of food in tho ordinary sense. A calory Is a unit invented not by cooks. but scientists. It is heat unit. considered as fuel for the human ma chine. It's equivalent in mechanical energy is 3077 foot-pounds A sol diers rations for one day should, if fully utilized. yield 15,000,00O foot pounds day or 10 times the muscu- lar energy displayed by the average man in bard days work. The other nine -tenths goes into waste, since the human body converts only a sixth of It's fuel into muscular energy, the unused energy turning into superfluous heat. This Is doing better than steam en- zine. which converts only an eighth of its fuel power into mechanical energy

The temperature varies from 60 to 90 degrees, CT an av- craze of about 70 degrees"
 It was further announced in the let ter that the concession is free from taxa ton for period of 70 years; that it is located 39O0 miles from New York, and that it is far more accessible by water route than in San Diego. in Lower Cali fornia, being TOO miles nearer New York.
