BOOKS

AMERICAN POLICE SYSTEMS. BY
Raymond Il. Fosdick. New York:
The Century Company.
This book is an intimate study Of
the police systems OF seventy-two
of our American cities from the
East to the West Coast.
To those people who have been
talking "Americanism" this book
will furnish a series of violent
shocks. But the constructiveness
of the study shows the way toward
a better> municipal system. Mr..
Fosdick is a builder, not a destruc-
ZIONIST.
The striking contrast between
the prevalence of crime in Amer
lean and European cities is shown
in clear and startling detail.
Faults OF our judicial system, I'M
enforcible laws, the bad environ
ment from which our police have
developed, the breakdown OF
police machinery through politics,
methods and practices in police
work, the use and abuse of civil
service, and some of the shortcom-
ings of the commission form OF
government are set down in
irrefutable form and in an un-
usually interesting manner.
Praise for the Washington police
Is given by MIR. Fosdick when he
says, 1.-THE record made by the
police OF Washington in clearing up
all but Ave cases of homicide out
Of 143 Is most unusual, and com
pares favorably with the records OF
the best European police systems"
This, in spite of the fact that the
Washington police do not have the
aid of compulsory registration OF
all people at police headquarters,
as obtains in most foreign coun-
tries.
A very valuable feature of the
book is the explicit foot-note ref
erences, which will enable the stu
dent Of municipal affairs and the
sociologist as well as the we'll
meaning but sometimes ill-inform-
ed reform enthusiast, to easily
broaden his knowledge on this sub
ject to as wide point as he
wishes

For Mothers
To Read

More young girls are going
wrong. Particularly Is this true
OF the girls during the disordered,
unnatural years of war and read
justment, according to Ben Il. Lind
sey, Judge of Denver's famous
juvenile court
Why?
One Of the chief reasons, Judge
Lindsey continued. is because most
girls know more about modern con-
ditions than do their mothers. And
their mothers refuse to learn, he
added.
Judge Lindsey's statement, at
first glance, may not sit weir
with many women. But his eH-
PLANTATION of ii furnishes food for
thought and study on the part OF
fathers and mothers.
1t is natural for any parent, he
explains, to think his or her own
child is good and incapable of
wrong. Living in this belief, very
many persons refuse to view their
children otherwise. They will not
listen to stories OF their wrong
doing. They impress this sublime
Nv trustful mental attitude on their
children; and, as a result, the err
ing child, through a sense of loyalty
and a fear of disappointing his or
her parent, avoids making con-
fdant of the parent.

squeezed out dill oil, used it in
cooking and for flavoring cordials
and then fed the residue to cattle
War time research caught the dill

alcohol was removed and the aro-
matte was used to flavor salt. MAX

celery salt but better.
Did the German chemist take the
anomalies dill seed and feed them to
cattle. Oh, no! He made coffee Of
them, Ersatz coffee, but much bet

asparagus seeds, and stronger, too.
But this was not enough. Dill
coffee was produced in fluid form.
A few drops in a cup of boiling
water and breakfast was on it's way.
In this form too, it was good to
flavor candy and pastry, and excel
lent as corrective taste in the
making of pills and tablets.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Dec. 21.-Mrs.
Eliza Steiner Eisenbeis, of Marshall
avenue, Northside, this city, is prob
ably the oldest woman swimmer in
the country. She is more than
eighty years old.
Four years ago marked her en-
trance into the swimming world.
She could just padded around lit
tie at that time. But swimming
fascinated her and she soon became
an expert.
Last winter she walked a mile to
a swimming pool and missed but
one night during the whole winter.
One evening the class lacked its
usual enthusiasm and spirit. The
deficiency was traced to the absence
of the spry old lady. Inquiry at
her home brought the answer that
there was a dinner and euchre at
friends house which she did not
care to miss.
Until last year she was president
of the athletic club at the Nc
Naugher School. She declares she
will continue her swimming this
winter.

Have You a Milk Problem?

If there is any one food which
has always been the handy ever
present staple of the poor in the
country, IL Is milk. Milk for the
children and milk for the adults,
milk in the form of the raw fluid
and milk made into wholesome
puddings and other dishes, and
milk as a beverage--the latter be-
ing the form in which IL was most
often taken.
One need not go into the distant
past to recall the days when milk
was within the reach of all at 7 or
s cents a quart.
Growing children and the aged
must have milk. II the milk Is too

The same small number of years

reach OF all, showed ice equally

an annual ice shortage, In conse-
quence of which ice has nearly
doubled in price. Not only can the

On Human
Nature

Human nature never changes. IL
IL did there wouldn't be SO many
photographers urging people to
have their pictures taken TO be dis
tributed as Christmas presents.
Nothing. they assert, makes .
more appreciated Christmas pres
ent than your own photograph. IL
is a constant reminder OF your
thoughtfulness. to say nothing OF
you nominees.
II shows. they claim. that you
are thinking OF their friends, when
as a matter OF fact. the mere fact
that you are sending 'em your
own picture shows that you are
thinking OF youself. And 10 TO
1 the photograph makes you look
as IL you were not only thinking
OF yourself, but also thinking or
the rent, the butcher bill and the
bathroom leak and a little murder
on the side.
But, as we said in the begin
ming. human nature never changes
and people will go on having their
pictures taken and sending them
out as Christmas presents, just as
though photographs were worth
their weight In gold. instead OF De
ing q sickly piece OF cardboard,
which lies around and collects dust
and disease germs.
We have made a careful survey
of the annual flood of Christmas
present photos and are able to re-
port our findings for the guidance
of those who are curious to know
what becomes of the blame things.
The statistics are as follows:
Twenty per cent of such photo
graphs lie around until they get
finger-marked, dusty and do-eared
and then are laid away in trunk
where no one will ever see them.
Twenty per cent, are stuck up
on mantels and whatnots and re-
main there until spring cleaning
when they go into the ash can.
Twenty per cent are Immediately
inserted into albums and put away
in a closet with mothballs and the
back numbers of the Atlantic
Monthly.
The remaining 40 per cent are
laughed at for three weeks by the
person who received them. and
after that mailed to some apprecia-
tive friend, who will laugh twice as
hard.

the photographers expect to do
good business this year. Which
merely proves. as we have observed,
that human nature never changes.
