PERMANENT CURE NEEDED.
 CUnion Daily Times.)

The high cost of living problem Is not going to be cured by conventions, committees and resolutions adopted in meeting. Not a bit of it. There are some such remedies, but a remedy is at best, only a make-shift. What is needed is a real cure, some thing that will heal. There are some very evident facts that will have to be considered. First of all, let it be remembered that with all the high prices people are living better than ever before in the history of this country. There is enough and to spare. True, the prices are high, but the money is cheap. Money is more plentiful than it has been at any time in the history of the country. People spend freely. They question nothing. but buy what they think they want whether they really want it or not and there is no disposition to argue the question. See, desire, buy-these are the three steps that mark the mental activities of the great Ameri- can public.

Juvenile Delinquency
 Is Steadily Decreasing
NEW YORK JUDGE GIVES CREDIT TO CHILL
 DREN'S COURT FOR REDUCTION OF '~~ 7-"~'- ~~-r ROWDYISM

New York, Feb. 23.-For the last twelve years juvenile delinquency has been steadily decreasing. Trivial of fences Judge Hoyt informs the pub lie, are on the wane, and the small rowdy of yesterday i!; the small >citi zen of today. The heyday of the street urchin is past, for the Chfl- dren's Court with the aid of various city organizations has finally con- vinced the juvenile world that a boy can be normal, athletic and popular without a. burning desire to break the nearest church window.
 Formerly the acid test of boyisI1 herois1n was his readiness to foot the "cop.' All grown-ups and especially the police were the natural enemies of small boys. Consequently a young rowdy soon became a leader, and a boy with pronounced regard for the law was branded as a "good-good, ,'' the pariah of juvenile society.
 During recent years the Children S Court and other agencies have done their utmost to bring a reproach- nent between Arcadia and Olympia; 1 in other words, to convince the chil- | dren that teachers, parents and ever l the Police Department are friends l and never less than friendly enemies 1 and to show them the common sense | for the different laws.

Century and Eary Victorian Era has a kind of political prestige. It was the fayorite beverage of the domin- ant Whig party. The Tories re- garded it with an aloofness at first but soon sailed in! Statesmen, Ad- mirals, Generals, revelled in punch The wits and essayists of Anne's Au- gustan Age indulged very freely. The names of Johnson, Reynolds, Fex, Pitt, Sheridan, Garrick, bring the picture of the punch-bow1 vividly before us, and the sp1endor of the ringing, witty toasts.
 Punch-bowls were of solid silver. and punch-bowls were painted with inscriptions and devices for testi- monial purposes. The punch ladIe was a work of art, as were the punch cups. The first successful whaling voyage from Liverpool was commem- orated by punch-bow1 given by the merchants to the fortunate captain. This very punch bowl, on which the fine old ship is depicted in full sail, is now in the collection of MT. Joseph Mayer who was an eminent arch- aeologiSt-

number oe arrests for 10000 of the population was 26.06 and since then there has been a more or less steady drop until 1919, when we find the number approximately eleven. This has been due largely to preventive work, which has greatly reduced the number of trivial offences.
 EfWhen I first came on the bench in 1908 I found that there were l large number of trivial arrests. Boys were brought ill in large groups for such offences as carrying on street amusements, as, for example, playing ball in the street By cooperation with the city authorities we are al- most entirely rid of this sort of thing. We scarcely ever get a complaint as to play. The reason for this is that with the splendid assistance of city organizations we are explaining laws and ordinances to the children and turning pestiferous little liabilities into assets of the community The value of preventive work cannot be oyer emphasized
 "To the probation system largely is due the decrease in the number o1 commitments and the consequent re. duction of recidivists. In 1919 there were only 2.740 commitments, and z vast majority of these cases were i children who were sent to institution, on account. ose tnanroner guardianship ip

Russia'S History Being
 Reproduced Oll Stamps
ABOUT 500 SPECIMENS OF NEW STAMPS MANY
 OF THEM CRUDE IN WORKMANSHIP

Russia's progress through disinte- grafton to renewed growth as a com mnity of greater and smaller nations is being written in postage stamps which tomorrow will be the delight and distraction of the stamp collec- tor. Many strangely synbolical stamp designs, issued by more than a dozen free states that were the Russian Empire, tell the whole story.
 The crude workmanship that enters into many of these issues is evidence of the economic and tech nical difficulties under which the authorities began their labors. D. B.. Armstrong, an authority on stamp is sues, estimates that these new Rus sian stamps number some 500 speci- mems, exclusive of philateIic errors and varieties. Certain of the earlier issues, he adds, have attained a con siderable degree of rarity. He con- siders these Russian issues as one of the most interesting and fascinating group of stamp issues of the new Europe.
 The Ukraine's stamp issues bear the republican emblem of a three forked pike, adopted from the arms of the Grand Duke St. Vladimir of Kiev. This device was first impressed upon the old stamps in circulation when it was found that the Bolshevik were smuggling over into the Ukraine vast quantities of the old stamp is- sues for sale at discount.
 Georges Narbut, an eminent artist subsequently designed special stamps for the new republic, and these were printed at the lithographic establish ment at Kuzenko at Kiev. A specia printing on thick pasteboard was made for use as paper currency. The ! Government of the West Ukraine Re 1 public impressed the three forke6 | pike upon Austrian stamps still 1T | circulation.

As concerning the recent Dry Bill that has become a, U. s. Law, against which citizens are rending the air with lament 'fIt is not thus in the mother country!'' this date, Feb. il. is an interesting one. On this day, in 1736, a bill was introduced into the British Parliament placing a duty of 20 shillings on spirituous liquors, and 50 license for selling them, in order to prevent their excessive use. But, the bill was defeated so far as to tolerate punch at a low rate, the merchants of Bristol and Liverpool fearing the lessening of consumption on rum and 'other things distilled from mo1asses.
 In this land no longer can Lady BIessington's -Four o'clock Irish'' be partaken of-this being the best brand of tea, -four o'clock tea,' with teaspoonfuI of rum added to it's charm.
 Punch and rum were distinctly Eighteenth Century and Early Vic torian Era-drinks. Not to have his cellars stocked with Jamaica (Ja- maica rum) was the loss of gentility to a noble.
 Punch is really a comparatively modern beverage. It came from India, in the latter part of the 17th century. One of the earliest printed notices of it is in Flyers Travels" !" published in 1872, that speaks of Punch as a liquor drunk on the i Coromande1 Coast, and deriving its name from the Hindustanee word i paunch, signifying five" as it took i five ingredients to make it. | The five ingredients supposed to make a good punch were these:
 
 1 spice. Sailors brought the novel com 1 pound from the East. From the amusing diary of a naval chaplain in 1875 we read that when he drank part of bowls of punch he had con l siderable difficulty in finding his pill low.
 Punch rapidly met everywhere a 1 joyous welcome. The toasted biscuit long since disused as an ingredient of punch, formed a favorite addition to punch in the early days Of it's in- augurat1on among the elite. There is a drinking verse extant concerning the making of a punch-bow1 which runs 1 thus:-
 Make it so large that filled with sack
 Up to the swelling brim,
 Vast toasts on this delicious lake
 Like ships at sea may swim It was from the use of toasted bread, or biscuit, that was acquired the word toast as applied to drink ing the health of beautiful woman or to any idea or sentiment. Officers of the British Majestys Navy have told the writer that when afar or the Seven Seas, when the forst ca nonica1 toast is lifted in the mess , room, ''The King! God bless himi' the homesick devotion glistens il } mems eyes.

Evolution of the American flag to the banner of 13 stripes and AS stars which today is the emblem of the na- ton is the story Of a collection of flag reproductions on display for two weeks in the Grand Central Terminal. The group of historic banners has been attracting much attention among the great throngs of travellers who pass through the station.
 The flags are the property of Telfair M. Minton. They illustrate that the American banner dates back of the days of Betsy Ross, to whom the making of the first flag is credited in history. .
 The flags are arranged in chrono- logical order. First there is the ban ner of Scotland, dating back to the year 945 A. D., a blue field with the white cross or saItire of St. Andrew. It is this blue field that is in our own flag today.
 The banner of England of 1272, a white field with the red cross of St George, was carried by John Ca1bit ir 1497 when he established England's claim in North America
 The third flag is the "Jacques Union'' of 1866, the union of the crosses, formed by placing the banner of England on that of Scotland II l was this flag that was carried by the Susan Constant, which carried set 1 tiers to Jamestown, Va, May 13, 1907 and by the Mayfiower, which took the I Pilgrims to New Plymouth, Mass, or l December g, 1920.
