DANGER FROM
 4 NEW SOURCE

Chicago, April S-Crime swept Chicago is today finding q new source of danger-criminals, who should be behind the bars, but who through misapplication of the pro bation law, find themselves free. This misuse of the rule which per mits first offenders only to have q second chance comes il several ways. In many instances, lawyers misrepresent the status of their clients. In the rush of business. a. probation officer accepts the law yers word that the prisoner is a first timer. The man on probation mingles back into the life of the city, perhaps changes some of his haunts and his home, but continues his career of crime.
 Again, the city has only twenty probation officers to deal with hun drcds of cases. Half their time must be in court. During the re mainder of their day, they are sup posed to visit probationers. for the law says they must make this call at least once a month.
 Five thousand men and women each year go practically free for ever under the probation system. Recent disclosures show that in this number are many hardened "habitual" criminals. Hence the city now sees one answer to the epidemic of "stickups" murderers, burglaries and many other crimes with which it is afflicted. And the city literally takes itself home to bed via the middle of the road, lest thugs waylay, assault and rob, perhaps murder

CITY BEAUTIFUL
 CHICAGO WORK

Chicago, April 7-When God gets ready to establish a paradise on earth He will come to Chicago, ac- cording to Mrs. s. H. Newton, chair man of the Municipal Art leagues committee to beautify the citys streets. Mrs. Newton proposes to make Chicago the most efficiently productive city in the world and to have gardens growing on every va cant lot.
 Mrs. Newton has a creed of but one article. And that binds the subscriber to the belief that trees should grow before every house, that every vacant lot should pro- duce vegetables and flowers and that plants should grow wherever there is room enough for them to take root.
 Instead of being for the "city beautiful" plan, Mrs. Newton in- sists on city productive program. She favors municipa. condemnation Of houseless lots upon which there IS no cultural vegetation.
 "Oyer in Germany they have no vacant iots." she said, and it is my plan to Germanize America SC far as vacant lots are concerned. Why give unemployed soup tickets? Why not give them work improving vacant property?
