Only Question OF Time.

Various reasons have been assigned
4. for the crime-wave which has swept
the country but which apparently
conferred largely in New York city.
OF the explanations offered one an
alysis seems to stand out prominent
ly. That criminals have ceased to re-
spect the law and that they no longer
fear what punishment may be melted
out to them s the decision of the
majority of men who come in contact
with the offenders. Magistrates are
now advocating longer sentences,
higher bail and more rigid discipline
in the penal institute ons
One OF the magistrates in New
York city stated definitely that the
number of criminals had increased
appreciably since the new method Of
treating convicts had been adopted
and he also attributed the increase
to weak parole laws WI CHI he said

Lovers in the Next World.

A marriage ceremony in unusual
circumstances is reported from Japan.
A young man and young woman
committed shiniu, or double suicide,
for love, by throwing themselves into
the sea. Both bodies we're recovered
and cremated with Buddhist ceremo-
MES. The ashes were then brought to
the home Of the girls father and he
performed a marriage ceremony with
the ashes of the two lovers.
According to the Buddhist faith, the
marriage tie contracted in this world
will carry over TO the next When
circumstances prevent a marriage in
this world, many japanese men and
women commit suicide in the hope of
a happy married life in the world to
come.

DIsccuraeing for Lawyers.
About twenty years ago there were

CALLS FOR MANY QUALITIES
ArcheolOqist Must Be Scholar, Llnsu.

Expert Handler of Men.

The modern archeologist IN Egypt
must be more than scholar. He
must have studied history, 1t is true !;
he must be familiar with what Is
known or the art and life OF Old
Egypt and he must have mastered the
ancient language so that he can read
the hieroglyphs carved on temple and
tomb.
But scholarship Is only part Of his
equipment He must know something
Of engineering and something Of draw

TO handle men The men employed
in archaeological excavation in Egypt
are usually boys from 10 to 20 years

The wise archeologist puts them on

Since the bakshlsh varies with the

half are retained by the institution
