been arrested also
Such are the histories OF four young
men now looked upon as desperate and
hardened criminals. Yet beyond their
connection with one crime. the world has
shown no concern In the stages by which
their criminal careers developed. None
of the parents Of the gunner has ever
been charged with crime. The early years
Of each of the four seem to have been
normal and Straightforward. Gradually
they made the acquaintance OF older
boys and men who had mastered the
trick Of turning an easy dollar. Their
own entrances into crime were gradual
and began, In every case but that OF
Dago Frank. with attempts to get spend
ing money easily. None OF them was
given the benefit of probation or a sus-
pended sentence.
Do not these facts suggest the i'm
portance not only OF furnishing criminals
but also of finding out why they are
criminals? Shall we be content merely
with providing electric chairs and other
methods OF disposing of the finished
criminal. or shall we attack the processes
by which criminals are made?

unique MARITIME SILKS
ON view At MUSEUM
Fabrics Woven and Finished from De-
signs Executed in Paul Poiret's
School in Paris.
STARTLING PATTERNS SHOWN

Samples Of some wonderful surface
printed broad silks. which were shown
for the first time during the last few
weeks in Paris. are now on exhibition in
the division of textiles in the National
Museum. These fabrics, known as the
MARITIME silks. have been woven. printed
and finished in the American plant Of the
Duplan SILK Company in New York. from
designs executed in the MARITIME S.hool Of
Decorative Art. Paris. under the direction
Of Paul Poiret
Mr.. P0iret is the originator. and hi<
ideas in color and design are held by
some to be the last word in the world OF
fashion. His school of design IS called
L'EcOle MARITIME, in honor Of his daugh-
ter. and here all his fabrics known Ivy
the same name are designed. The pupils
of this school are children from the age
of twelve Years upward. VINO are left
much to their own resources as TO study
and design. They frequent woods and
fields, where they are taught TO observs
nature carefully and, in consequence.
nature in her simplest and truest state is
predominant in their drawings and color
schemes.
The two principles employed by NJ.
POiret in his art are the search for great
er simplicity and the search for original
detail.
These printed silks are the first Of the
kind to he madt in America and sold in
Paris and London. The designs are
startling and bizarre. but il must be
borne in mind. when judging them, that
the silks on which they are printed are
only intended to be used in conjunction
with such materials as black Charneuse.

TO make their cases crime deterrents.
All society seems to ask is did they
kill RosenthaI, the gambler and 'squeal-

they pay the penalty? Doubtless this Is
society's first responsibility.
But shall we stop there? Is il not i'm

Lefty Louie"
Lefty Louie vas born in the heart of
New York's congested Lower East Side.
The family is one OF respectable, Ortho-
dox Jews. The father. financially well
off. is trustee of a synagogue. No suspl-
cion Of crime has ever been lodged
against any other members OF the family.
After an illness at the age of six, the
doctor Said that Louie must have ali
the fresh air he could get At that time
the family was poor, and the only fr ssh
air for Louis was in the street. The
stern household discipline was then
broken down. The myriad sights and
sounds he had wondered about he could
now investigate first hand. New friends
were waiting to teach him the amuse-
ments of the doorstep and the sidewalk
In a couple of years he became, says
his father, street fend." Tho first
rnisdeed his family knew about happened
when he was eleven or twelve With
another boy he tried TO take some money
out of q little bank in which his brother
kept his savings.
All this time he was going to both the
public and Hebrew schools and receiving
the usual religious instruction OF his race.
At twelve or thirteen he had become a
freduenter of poolrooms, where he prob
ably learned how to pick pockets. He
was sent away to a private school for
a year, and after that worked both in
the shipping department OF a depart
ment store and in his fathers Office.
But his passionate longing for the
street continued. His first arrest was in
1907, when Louis was sixteen. The charge
was "disorderly conduct" and he was
sent to the House of Refuge. Soon after
he came out he was arrested for picking
a pocket and sent to the House OF Cor
rection for nine months. These were
his only arrests up to the murder of
Rosenthai.
