Europe has succeeded in formulating
and solving its police problem because,
discarding all inferior persons and
agencies, il has utilized in this work
& superior type of intelligence.
The author points out certain com
mon principles on the basis Of which
he explains the efficiency Of the Euro
pean police. First, they are not called
upon to compel conformity to moral
standards which do not meet with gem
eral public approval. Second. control
is centred where responsibility can be
definitely fxed-in a single official.
Finally, the rank and file Of the Euro
peau police forces are selected and
trained with the same care and atten-
ton shown in the case of their superior
officers.
Mr.. Fosdick's book is the third Of a
series issued under the auspices OF the
Bureau of Social Hygiene, of which
John d. Rockefeller, jr., is chairman.
While the bureau is concerned with the
problem of commercialized vice, il was
felt that intelligent suggestions on this
problem were impossible without a
thorough understanding of the police

| FIuautli, Aztec Cereal Food,
Rediscovered by Botanist.
w. E. Stafford Tells Congress Of Amercanists that Grain o
Ancients Can Be Used to Great Advantage in Western
U. Snow Grown in Sonora, Mexico.

Rediseovery of the Aztecs' greatest
cereal staple, next to corn was announc-
ed yesterday by William E Stafford,
economic botanist of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. in a paper
before the Congress Of Americanists at
the National Museum Building. This
grain, which Mr.. Stafford thinks may
have great possibilities for the western
part Of this country. is the long ught
huautli." spoken Of by practically
every writer Of Aztec times.
The quaint misspelling of the Mexican
Indian name for a kind Of dumplins
swathed In cornhusks found In the papers
Of the late DR.. Edward Palmer, of the
Department of Agriculture. led to the
discovery. DIR. Palmer. describing the
dumplings made by the present-day
Indians Of northwestern Mexico, says
they call them suales." Mr.. Stafford,
In his search for the lost huautli grain,
ran across a word used by fernando
Ruiz de Alardon. writing In Mexico City in
l629. and describing some sort Of q
'tzoalli." The similarity In the sounds
OF the two names "suale and tzoalli," led
to an investigation and the hautli was re-
discovered.
This grain. Botanist Stafford showed.
