statistics of this kind could be null
fiplied at length. In the three-year
period 1868, inclusive, Glasgow had
38 homicides; Philadelphia, which is
only trif1e larger, had during this
same period 281. Liverpool and St.
Louis are approximately the same size !;

More BurgIaries Here.
Equally significant is the compari-
son Of burglary statistics between
Great Britain and the United States.
In 1915, for example, New York city
had approximately eight times as many
burglaries as London had in the same
period. In 1917 New York had four
times as many burglaries as London.
In 1918 the burglaries which the police
reported In New York were approx
mately two and a half times those in
London.
while war conditions undoubtedly
served to heighten this contrast they
were by no means entirely responsible
for It; In 1915 New York city had
more burglaries than occurred In all
England and Wales in 1911, 1912 or
1913. Chicago in 1916 had 532 more
burglaries than London; in 1917, 3,459
more; in 1918, 866 more and in 1919,
2,146 more.
"Even more startling are the statis-
tics of robbery. In each of the four
years from 1915 to 1918, Inclusive, New
York city had from four to five times
more robberies than occurred in all
England and Wales In any one of the
five years preceding the war.

None of the characters in Scratch
My Back" shown here Wednesday at
Kenworthy Theatre behave quite like
you expect them to. There is a hero
who performs noble deeds of valor ON
behalf Of the Lady In Distress-and
gets nothing for his pains but =
"thank you" and grateful smile. There
is a villain who inhales spaghetti
from tin pot and wears paper
dicky for a shirt-he surrenders to
the hero at the insignificant price OF
a whacked shin and a poke in the
ribs. There is a Jealous Husband
who storms and raves like most j.
HIS debut turns out to be the best
sort of guy in the world, perhaps a
darned sight better than the Hero
And there is Lady-In-D Distress who,
for the first time in the annals of
literature, drama or movie, is sensible
enough to refuse an invitation to visit
mans thereby running
perfectly good situation. We warn
you not to come to see Scratch My
Back" if you expect the usual screen
comedy. But if you like new, DIFF
ferent things, you'll love this innova-
ton in modern comedy drama. Rupert

Commissioners Advised by
Bankers Plan Not Practical.

UrwiIIingness on the part of local

Gently By the Educational Thrift Service,
Inc, OF New York. A committee com.
posed Of Commissioners Bert S. Gadd

Clarence Crippin was designated to wait
upon the bankers committee, into whose

woLCoTT SAYS PLAN
BENEFIT TO CHILDREN.
Following an Introductory talk by
Superintendent z. u GRAF. IN which he
explained the purpose Of the meetine
end emphasized the educational value OF
the saving habit, E. H Wolcott, presi-
dent Of the State Savings and Trust
, Company and chairman Of the bankers
committee to whom the proposition was
originally referred by the board, spoke
for the banking interests. He placed his
argument on a commercial basis.
There is no divergence Of opinion
among the bankers as to the benefit On
the plan to school Children" Mr. Wolcott
said. MY remarks are confined TO the
practical side of the venture. We are
completely in sympathy with the move
ment, but we have not yet been satisfied
that the submitted system, at cost or
$4,000, Is the best method.
"Inasmuch as the proposition is that
OF thrift, we bankers must adopt the
thrift suggestion and examine the plan
carefully before adopting 1t. The cost
Of supplies and expense OF installation are
based on prices OF yesterday and financial
conditions are daily changing" con-
tinued Mr.. Wolcott.
Inquiries to bankers OF other cities In
which the plan is IN operation indicates
the system is not a proven success, Mr..
, woIcott declared. 1.-The idea is TO help
children become thrifty citizens, but at
the same time Il is advisable to investi-
gate, especially in view OF the present
financial reaction. Because the plan sug-
gested Is not universal and is compare
lively new, IL takes time to investigate
other systems"

BENSON DEFENDS MERCHANT MARINE

Reviewing accomplishments of the shipping board from 1917. when thi. country had but few ships and only 61 yards, the admiral continued:
 "This merchant marine must be sus- tained if 1t is to be permanent. From the signing of the armistice the ship ping board has worked to make 1t so. We are convinced that the ships own ed and controlled by the shipping board must be ultimately absorbed by private capital, owned and controlled by Americans and operated in open competition with the merchant fleets of the world.' Admiral Benson said that there must also be created opportunities for advancement in the merchant marine
 service that American boys, in large numbers will be attracted to the life. Capt Irving L. Evans, director of l the recruiting service of the shipping board, who followed Chairman Ben
 son, asserted that "the action of, the l shipping board in establishing the re- cruiting service has been justified If
 by no other act than the raising of the number of Americans on our Ships" l AS an example of what has been l done, in 1917 only 10 per cent. of the linen below the grade of officers placed on ships by this service were Amert-
 cans, he said. During the past six ! months the average has been 55 per
 cent"

New York, April 1S.-Propagand is sbeing used against an American mer- chant marine. according to Rear Ad- .miral WIS. Benson, chairman of the United States Shipping board. who spoke tonight at the annual dinner of the National Marine league in con- nection with the celebration of na- tional marine week.
 "rThe usually high record of per formance of the Shipbuilder, the ship operator and those who manned our ships" he said, "is often forgotten be- cause of the insidious spreading of ex- aggerated accounts that now and then appear in the press, frequently under foreign date line.
 Tt is, evidence that the art of pro- paganda, so effectively used in the war, is still being used in an attempt to tear down what we are bent upon making permanent-an American mer- chant marine made up of ships built by Americans. owned by American capital, sailing under the American flag and carrying the products of this country to all parts of the world"
 Unity of action, the admiral said, is necessary in order that the United States may profit by it's fleet of mer- chant ships, now totalling more thar Il 100000 deadweight tons and take advantage of "big commercial oppor. tunities' resulting from the war.
