PUBLICITY AS CRIME CHECK
sociologist Says the Newspapers Make
Life Hard for Criminals Of
Every Description.

"Blame the newspapers for making
the role Of the criminal harder today
than il was twenty lor thirty years
ago" said M. G. Elmer of the sociolO-
gy department, University of MinnesO-
tn, according to the Minneapolis News.
''The swlndler of a few years rack
had a downy feather he'd to lie on
compared to followers Of his footsteps
today" he continued. I'm those days,
the same gang would work skin game
In one town week, and then move
to the next stop and do the same thing
the following week. Not now, how
ever. The newspaper is the barrier
If a clever swindle is worked In Mex
leo or Honolulu the news is on the
wires at once. and the whole world
knows II in couple of hours. and the
little game is killed"
Contrary to general opinion, crime
is not any greater In proportion 70
population today than twenty years
ago. according to Mr.. Elmer. II is
Just that the number Of criminals has
increased with the growth of popula-
tion, he said.
Mr.. Elmer exploded another popular
fancy when he said that he believes
that criminals are not any holder
today than in years past
ut is the newspapers again." he said
"The big jobs are given wide publicity
and seem larger in the public mind
than those of the past. But 1t isn't
so. The James boys, the Youngers,
and the DaltOns had just as much
nerve and put over jobs in their days
just as big as anything you read about
In the papers today"

Saving Screw shavinas.

Two thousand years seems a long
time to wait for an Improvement, but
this has been the ga with the screw.
Metal screws have been made since
236 b. c. The shank OF the screw has
been turned from bar of metal hav-
ing the diameter Of the screw head,
thus wasting large proportion Of the
metal by reducing it to shavings.
A certain screw manufacturer has
decided to alter this A metal bar, of
the diameter of the shank, is put into
matrix and subjected to enormous
pressure. The head of the screw is
thus expanded in the confined com
partment, which gives it the desired
shape. The only waste occurs in
threading the screw and finishing the
head.

THE RIGHT THING
 AT THE RIGHT TIME
WHEN YOU TRAVEL
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

An agreeable companion on a journey is as good as a carriage.-Publius Syrus. n ONT open the window until you N have asked your companion whether or not she would object, as many person detests a draught and is seriously tormented by the dust or soot that comes in.
 Don't wear a hat with feather long enough to threaten eyes and cheeks every time you turn, or carry great punches of flowers which take D too much room in the seat or else drip water from the rack above.
 Don't forget that when you draw up the shade of the window in your own seat you may be causing the rays of the sun to shine directly in the eyes of the person in the seat behind you. by lowering it slightly you can pre- vent this without blocking your own view.
 Remember that when you pay a single fare for a ride in a day coach you are really entitled only to a single seat. You are not, therefore confer ring any favor on the person who asks whether he may ride beside you. You have actually paid for DO more than half the section; so when you permit your luggage or other belongings to Top over on the other side you are using something that does not belong to you-something, in fact, that your seatmate has paid for.
 Don't forget however, if you take seat beside another person to express your thanks if he moves his things to make more room for you. This need be no more than a formal but gracious thank you.'
 In short, do nothing that you would not do to your best friend or the per son you loved with all your heart. for every train traveller is your brother and sister in broad sense.

"PERsoNs" AND "PEoPLE."

THE word persons" used to in- \ dicate a number or a gathering of human beings, is numerical; the word people" is collective. The diff ference in the use of the words may be illustrated more easily by giving examples than by discussing the gram matical principles involved.
 We say, correctly, 'sThree persons entered the theater," not, Three peo- pie entered the theater" But we should not say or write. There was a crowd of persons in the theater" i; say, "There was crowd of people :" The rector was asked, How many can be seated in your churchY" He replied, "We can seat comfortably about one thousand persons, but if an unusual crowd of people wishes to st- tend the services we can accommodate more than a thousand" The Standard Dictionary says, Tt would be quite out of place to say, The pastor de- sires to meet the young persons of the church."

 q think it must go just as the rain does," said another flower who was ready to come out in the morning sun.

One morning, about three years ago, It showed very hard. It must have been about three feet deep. I wanted to make some money, so I went across the street from where I lived and asked the man who lived there if he did not want his snow shoveled off. He said, "Go to it."
 It took me about two hours to shovel it off. l expected to get about 75 cents for it. l went to the door and asked for my money.
 Do you expect to get anything for shoveling that snow off? Why. when l was young we thought it good exer- else to do little work like that once in a while."-Chicago Tribune.

Postohces and Politics.

1t is reported from Washington that Rep
resentative Fess, chairman of the republican
campaign committee, is polling the republi-
can members OF the house on the question
as to whether President Wilson's order of
March II, 1917, extending the civil service
to include first, second and third class post
masters shall be continued, modified or re-
voked.
This question has been under discussion
among republicans for some months the dis
cussion having begun before the election, If
the order shall be revoked The News will not
be disappointed, but nevertheless it is our
view that if the republican administration
fails to continue and strengthen the order it
will be confession OF weakness. The post
master general, Mr. Hayes, was quoted the
other day as saying that he would exert him
self to take the postoffice department out of
politics; that "the postal establishment is not
an institution for profit or politics" To re-
call Mr.. Wilson's order would be step back
ward. 1t would be confession OF hunger
for spois.
There is no contention that the inclusion
of first, second and third class postmasters
in the merit system has operated to the dis
advantage of the postal service, is there
contention that to return these offices to pol
itics would result in greater efficiency. The
only possible excuse for revocation of the
order is that thereby the republican politicians
would have more places at their disposal.
The News trusts that the policy announc-
ed by Mr., Hayes will prevail, and that the re-
publican administration will have the good
sense to retain the merit system in the post
Office department.
