Papers Don't Develop Crime.
From the New York Sun.

The oft repeated charge that the reports
OF crimes In newspapers tend to develop
criminality. or anti-social conduct. as the
experts prefer to say nowadays, Is met
and disposed of effectively by DR.. William
Healy. director of the Psychophatic insi-
tute of the juvenile court Of Chicago. In
Delinquent" he says plainly that in no
crtninality to the reading Of newspapers.
h common assumptions on the sub
Crime. after ali. is only a small element
in the news. The daily paper. so far from
1t with a diversity of interests which tend
to minimize it's influence. Whenever crime
is displayed, the glamour is all taken
worst of it in the newspaper story. He is
a hunted wretch or a miserable prisoner.
He Is shown haggard and hopeless. His
sufferings are ~recounted.
Anyway, the majority Of criminal ca
reers are begun before the newspaper
reading age is reached. Actual inquiry
shows that young. offenders hardly ever
notice anything in newspapers except
comic pictures. They show no Interest in
newspaper reports Of crime. and no trace
attached to criminalitv was found to arise
from newspaper articles. In a word, the
budding criminal is not infatuated by any
thing in the papers, and to those Of older
growth the newspaper treatment of the
topic must be SOLDERING and admonitory.
The only direct bad effects of newspaper
anced minds, and in such cases the result
is more likely to be false self-accusation
Of some crime that is attracting public at
tention than any attempt to initiate it.
Far different is the influence of the
cheap crime story on the younger genera
ton. Its pernicicus influence, Doctor
Healy says, can be proved by numerous
cases. Along with morbid pictures of all
sorts, bad literature is a fertile source Of
criminal inspiration. The difference in
effect from the newspaper reports is due
to the different treatment. In the penny
dreadful the crimes the thing; in the
story the criminal is the defiant and sue
cessful hero: in the newspaper he gener-
ally is the downcast victim Of his own
WickedneSS.

SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS
HAMPERS BRITISH ARMY

London-All medical men through
out the country, regardless of age, are
being asked to enroll themselves to
meet IAN urgent national need" me
work of enrolment is being conducted
by the medical war committees in Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland.
For military purposes the service g
Of doctors is up to as, but medical men
beyond that age can give their services
to home hospitals n therefore they,
as well as doctors OF military age, are
being enrolled.
The idea of making a complete en-
rollment is not only to insure a salts
factory medical service for the army,
but also to safeguard the needs of the
civil population. In some districts
there has recently been a great scarcity
of doctors, due mainly to enlistments.
The medical wal committees also
hope to effect an Improvement in the
ann in which medical specialists Of
various kinds are being used. there
having been many complaints that
their services were not being utilized
to the best advantage.
The reports of the committees on the
British medical service in the war
zone state hat it is very efficient
In none Of the main theaters of war
has there been any lack Of high surgical
n medical skill. Recently there have
been complaints about the service in
4hASooPSSS1hiAsD ooS I'm oAtO III
this district were already being remedi-
ed when the complaints came to public
attention.
Each wal enter of surgical work is
in charge Of a leading specialist. who
obtains all the assistance that he asks
for and can utilize. In France, the
wounded soldiers are quickly treated
at the front hospitals, and then rushed
to England for further attention. The
transport and other machinery between
the front clearing stations and the
great hospitals in England has been
perfected until it works almost auto
m~atically.
Doctors who have enrolled for serv-
ice at the front have few complaints.
There ave been several instances,
however, in which physicians with a
good practice at home, who have en-
listed for patriotic reasons, have found
that a neighbor in their absence has
confscated their practice. One Of the
objects Of the scheme of enrolment
is to prevent such injustices by
making the stay-at-home doctor do his
share in caring for wounded in the
home HOSPITALS.

Cardross sprang toward her to be
met by the stinging lash Of the quirt
under which the livid welt leaped like
a furrow across the dark skin.
Curse you!" he cried. That blow
will cost you yourself. Jess Kilrain!"
Then his arms closed about her.
Wild with her fear and anger, Jess
struggled, careless if she went over
the edge of the wall herself so long as
she drew Cardross with her. Near it
they came more than once, but by
some chance escaped, and the girl be-
gan to weaken in the unequal combat,
sick to the soul with the dread and the
horror Of what she fought.
Out Of the chaparral behind them
there came the crack OF a pistol.

of a blow unseen and unheard, his hold
upon the girl loosening. Soundlessly
he reeled backward, toppled over the

wall to the basin below where 1t lay
face up-gazing and very still.

CHAPTER x11I.-(continued).

He moved away. When he a gone,
Buck swung from his horse.
I'm sure ! don't know why I stayed
here with you," observed Jess.
.P'raps you is better at addin' than
s~ubtractin'," Buck ventured.
"P'raps," assented Jess. It'd be hard
to add to your nerve, Buck; ar seems
faint possible to lessen it. I don't
know why I'm talkin' to you at ALL"
1T might be easier to say how" he
answered, his laugh amused.
Jess turned to Perry Green's horse,
giving her companion no reply beyond
the protest Of her back.
Day was breaking now. Over the
wide plain an exquisite, tender gray
vas stealing, soft and cool. The damp
ness of dew made the parched earth
fresh Inc sweet. The silence was that
Of the still sea at ebb.
The subtle Influence of the primal
hour struck a sudden seriousness in the
young cowpuncher's heart. His eyes
rested IN the girl before him, and the
bitterness that had been his died In the
onrush of his love. He strobe over to
her, standing beside her, his arm out
stretched along the neck of the horse
she was fondling.

nerness in his rich voice, why does
we keep on scrappin' so when there
tint a thing l could do in this world
[ wouldn't do to make you happy? You

your love would make me the hap

Jess spoke so softly that her voice

! looked at him with a quick fearless

II couldn't try. 1 don't wan to

It might not have been wise, but 1t
was characteristic OF Buck to say:
Then I'm goin' to make you come
to have use for me. Jess. There amt
no soil SO poor an measly you can't
make love grow in It,"
Jess laughed. Strangely. it was not
an angry laugh, and she turned her
eyes away to the eastern horizon,

where the unseen sun was heralding

So much Of Workings plan mis-

informed by the man Grange, and un-
aware of that fact being suspected,
determined to play into Workings
hands by the semblance Of ignorance,
while In reality he only waited to en-
trap the men Of the Loop?
Jess had developed a profound dis
trust of Blass Cardross.
She hitched her horse In the chap

Silence.
I have known the silence Of the stars and
of the sea,
And the silence of the city when it
pauses
And the silence Of a man and a maid.
And the silence for which music alone
finds the word,
And the silence of the woods before tha
winds of spring begin,
And the silence of the sick
When their eyes roam about the room.
And I ask: For the depths
OF What use is language?
A beast Of the field means a few times
When death takes it's Young:
And we are voiceless in the presence of
realities
We cannot speak.
And there is the silence Of the dead.
= We who are in life canno speak
OF profound experiences,
Why do you marvel that the dead
Do not tell you Of death?
Their silence shall be Interpreted
As We approach them.
