Gould one imagine a more fu-
tile piece OF mechanism for the ad-
ministerlng Of Justice? Neither So
ciety nor the individual is benefited
by the process. It is both immense
and costly and its victims may be
counted by the millions. Il does not
deter the young offender nor re-
strain the "rounder.' Think OF the
number OF arrests that are made ev-
cry year In the United States Who
is benefitted2 The state? No. The
accused? No. Well. who then is
benefited? The grand jurors who
issue warrants, the officers who
serve warrants. the lawyers who
prosecute and defend on charges
made in the warrants. the judges
who try the cases represented by the
warrants and a long list OF hangers
on who are more or less interested
in the cases covered by the warrants.
To Change System.
And IL the accused IS found guilty
who suffers? The person who has
committed the crime? Yes. to GER
tain extent. but the real sufferers are
the wife and children or the father
and the mother or the family circle
from which the guilty man was tax
en-. Happily we are now thinking
on how we can change our deplOr-
able system"
When a child is physically ill we
consult a physician. To aid the ply

nature but the cause of the illness,

never get anywhere with this prop

IMPROVEMENT OF
MISHAWAKAA Is
FINISHED BY FIRM
White Company Ends Contro-
versy With City by Re

The lonE-drawn-o controversy
between the White Construction Co..
OF Chicago, and the city of South
Bend over poor service given by the
pavement laid on Mishawaka av. by
the White CO. i'm 1919 has been
brought 20 a close by the compile

a point near the Grand Trunk tracks

The contract for the pavement.
which was let in 1913 TO the White
Co. for about $1S5.O00, carried with
IL a guarantee Of the pavement by
the company. the guarantee extend

street all the way 10 Mishawaka, the
city entered into negotiations with
the White Co. in an endeavor 20 have

the guarantee.
Submit Proposition.
The negotiations between the city
and the contractors covered long
period Of time, and finally early in
October a proposition was submit
ted 70 the city by the contractors by
which the White Co. agreed to put
Mishawaka av. in proper shape on
the express condition that such ac-
ton on its part would not in any
way be construed as an acceptance
Of liability for the unsatisfactory
condition of the pavement.
The company maintained that in

LOUIS CURLFINED
ON GAMING CHARGE
Proprietor of Halfway House
Pleads Guilty to Charge
of Gambling.

Louis Curl, proprietor of a resort
popularity known as the Halfway
house. opposite Springbrook park.
phose place was the scene Of a spec
tacular raid By the police two
months ago. pleaded guilty to
charges of operating a gambling de-
vice in the city court yesterday af-
ternoon. On recommendation Of
the prosecutor, Atty. Lem J. Dare.
sitting as special judge, assessed the
minimum fine OF $25 and costs.
No evidence was taken in the case
nor were the circumstances sur
rounding the raid recalled. Sew
eral delays had been taken in call
ing Curtis case 70 trial and some
one" forgot the notoriety and pub
licity attendant at the time the raid
was staged.
Find Card Table.
A statement by the defending at
torney indicated that nothing was
found that would indicate gambling
with the single exception Of a card
table. A report of the raid, which
was followed by Curtis arrest, stated
that the resort had been tipped off,
and the players made their hasty
exeunt when the officers arrived.
None too soon, however. for ST IN
currency and poker chips fell into
the hands OF the police. Scattered
over the table was the "hnd." indi-
eating there had been a number OF
players. The money and chips, the
report added, were taken by the
police for evidence.
After Spl. Judge Oare had ruled in
the case, Curl arose. paid his fine,
secured his receipt and left the
court room.

Columbus Landlnu Place.

For four centuries there have been
dispute and disagreement as 20 the
first landing place Of Columbus in the
new world. 1t Is known that he land
ed on one of the Bahama islands, but
in that widely-scattered group there
are SO pieces Of land, large enough to
be classified as islands, and about 700
"cays" or "keys," like those which lie
along the Florida coast, and in some
cases pretty well out to sea. The
early narratives have it that Column
bus landed at or on place which the
native Indians called Guanahani, and
which the Spaniards named San Sal
vador, or Holy Saviour. Cat island
has been given as the landing place
Of Columbus and so has Waiting Is
land. Attwoods Key or SANTANA has
been chosen by some as the place
which Columbus called San Salvador,
and other investigators who may che
termed authorities have picked Turks
Island, and others have chosen the
island of Observation-Disclosures
Star.

Hair a Nuisance, Anyway.

Badness is unnecessary. We have 1t
on the authority of a sharp who can
raise hair as easily as farmer raises
wheat. Men become bald because
they keep their hair cut short and the
follicle system becomes lazy, and with
not enough to do it loses interest In
it's work and the hair falls out. Women
do not become baldheaded because
they allow their hair to grow long.
This gives the hair-producing system
plenty of exercise and keeps it strong
and healthy. In order to escape bald
ness man has only to allow his hair to
grow long, either braiding it to hang
down his back or coiling 1t around his
dome with hairpins and imposing the
joint use of mothers dresser every
morning.
However, considering the alternative
calmly, most men will prefer to be
bald, writes Glenn M. Farley In the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. How could
man quarrel with his wife with his
hair braided down his back?

ANCIENT BEANS FOUND.

While on a hike a few days ago
up Mill creek, near Moab, Utah, a
squad of boy scouts found small
bag Of beans in a prehistoric cliff
dwelling. The bag in which the
beans were found is made of cedar
bark, closely woven, and the beans
were in an excellent state of preser-
walton.
The beans, which were unlike any
ever seen there before, are jet black
in color and little fatter than the
ordinary Mexican bean. They ap-
pear to be well preserved and a few
of them are to be planted. The re-
mainder of the bags contents will
be sent to the State university mu-
scum. According to tradition of
the Indians, the cliff jewellers were

Constant Search for Tannin.

The oak is one of the best known
natural sources Of tannin, although it
is found in many other trees. The
spread of industry has increased the
call for tannin to such a degree that
search has been made all over the
world for some new tree capable of
supplementing the oak, hemlock and
other trees in furnishing this indis-
pensable substance.
A certain degree Of success has att
tended the search in Argentina, where
there is found a tree called the que
bracho, from which excellent tannin
can be obtained. The wood of this
tree is very hard and durable, and it
grows In large forests. 1t has been
known as a tannin producer for about
30 years, but only, in late years has
the extraction of the tannin been con-
Quoted in Argentina. Formerly the
wood was exported.
