CRIME INCREASE LAID TO LUXURY
 AND LOW WAGES
Many Present Day Crimes of New Offenders Attributed
 to Two Reasons.

LONDON, Dec. 2S-Lower wages and a craze for luxurious living are held accountable by English prison governors for many present-day crimes in report made by them to the Home Office.
 Although crime has dwindled con siderably during the past 20 years, the number of prisoners for the year 192O-21 was 49,712, or 9,925 more than in the previous year The re- port. however, states that "so small an increase in year in which there has been much unemployment and industrial unrest is noteworthy" The Governor of Durham prison says:
 "A new stamp of offender has sprung into existence. Men and wo- men of respectable antecedents and parentage, in regular employment and in no respects associated with the criminal class, are taking to se- rious crime with astounding facility
 The suggestion that spirit of lawlessness acquired by men while on military service is responsible for this is rejected by the Cover nor, on the ground that women in equal proportion to men are the of lenders. His explanation is that high wages, once easily earned and more easily spent, are now not obtainable.
 ''Mea and women. boys and girls" his report states, '"have all got used to big money, out Of all proportion to the slight effort necessary to ob- tain it, and he continues "The economic readjustment of the past year has created number of discon- tented. reckless people, who do not realize that they have been living in an artificial wage market, and unconsciously resent the changed conditions of supply and demand, work and play. Money they must have to provide the luxuries and amusements to which they have grown accustomed, so they steal. pilfer and loaf"

RUSS PEASANTS FROM MISSOURI
 CLAIMS LEVINE
Russians Have Now Come to Show Me" Stage Three Foes Threaten Russia.

RIGA, Latvia. Dec 2S.-Russian peasants and laborers tired of prom ises of Communist utopia, and have come to the "show me" stage, Pre- mier Nikolai Lenine said in a recent speech before congr ess of Politi- cal Educational Workers, at Moscow
 The full text of this sensational speech, parts of which relating to La- nipe's admissions of economic failure, were cabled from Moscow at the time it was delivered, has just reached Riga, as reported by the officia, Moscow Pravda."
 There was a time," Lenine said. when declarations, proclamations, decrees, etc, were necessary. We have had plenty Of these. There was time when it was necessary to show the people what we wanted to build But can we continue to show and only tell the people what we want to build? No! Even the simplest laberer will then seoff at. us. saying: You are always talking of what you want to do, but show us now what you can do And if you can do nothing. then go to the devil.' And he will be right"
 Speaking about the absence of ed ueafion and the prevailing illiteracy of the Russian population, Lenine said that the very fact that com mission had to be appointed for the liquidation of illiteracy shows, to say it as gently as possible, that we are something like half-savages. For in a civilized country. it would be considered a shame to create com missions for the liquidation of H. literacy. In other countries they have schools where they liquidate illiteracy. They teach, in the first place. to read and write. As long as this fundamental problem is not solved, it is ridiculous to talk of a new economic policy"
 Lenine said that Soviet laws and propaganda were good. but could not succeed until the masses of people helped the regime.
 Several hundred thousand 'obnox- ious and useless Communists" he said should be expelled from the party. Russia" he continued, should have culture which will teach us to fight redtape, corruption and bribery. Experience has shown that a politically educated state knows no bribery. whereas with us, bribery is rampant"

" BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAiIFYJ

Poor Mrs. Pig! Her children had frightful manners. Though she talked to them about not crowding, and about eating slowly, and about eat ing noiselessly, the moment their food was poured into their trough they forgot everything their mother had said.
 That is, all but Grunty Pig. If he happened to be left out in the cold, so to speak, and had to stand and look on while his brothers and sisters stuffed themselves, he couldn't help remembering his mothers remarks about manners.
 Its awful to watch them!'' he would gurgle. '1 don't see how they can be so boorish." He thought there was no sadder sight than his six brothers and sisters jostling one another over their food, while he couldn't find place. to push in among them.

 name that you ought to be proud Of:

He seemed to be interested in noth- ing but food. There is no doubt that he would have been willing to change his name a dozen times a day for the slight bribe of drink of warm milk.
 His mother sometimes said that he had the biggest appetite-as we'll as the loudest grunt-of all her seven children. And she was glad he ate we'll, because food was the very thing that would make him grow.
 You won't always be runty, Grunty, if you eat plenty" Mrs. Pig often told him. And then he would grunt, as if to say, You don't need to urge me. Just give me a chance!"
 Grunty Pig soon learned that being the smallest of the family had one sad drawback. His brothers and sisters Gall bigger than he) could crowd him away from the feeding trough. And they not only could, reached the trough among the first, there was never a place left where he could squirm in. If he tried to eat at one end of the trough he was sure to be shouldered away and go hungry.
 So whenever he did succeed in get ting the first taste of a meal he took pains to plant himself in the exact middle of the trough. Then there would be three other youngsters on n ach~ 11de4 of-him: all crowding to-

THE RUNT.
 He was the smallest of seven chi1- dren. At first his mother thought she would call him "Runty." But she soon Changed her mind about that; for she discovered that even if he was the runt of the family, he had the loudest grunt of all. So the good. lady made haste to slip a G in front of the name "Runty."
 ''Theren' she exclaimed, "Grunty'' is the name that you ought to be proud of. It calls attention to your best point. And if you keep on making as much noise in the world as you do now, maybe people won't notice that you're a bit undersized. You certainly sound as big as any little shote I ever saw or heard" So that was sett1ed--though Grunty Pig didn't care one way or another

 "What Is It You Fear?"
 The sun was low when Lillian, upon waking, failed to doze off again, and looked clearly, resolutely at the physician.
 "Dr. Pettit." Her voice was low, scarcely whisper, but it held the old dominant note, and l knew that her marvellous vitality and will power were functioning again. Yes Mrs. Underwood" He rose and went around to the other side of her cot, so that her eyes would rest on him instead of Marion. As he moved, Miss Jones took his place at the child's side, and l realized | that there was an unspoken agree ment between. them, that the little patient should not have single eccond | unwatched. "
 "I feel quite myself again. Will it not be possible for me to get up? Marion will be sure to ask for me, and I want, to be able. to hold her."
 The physician studied her face for an instant without answering, then put his finger upon her pulse. At the end of seemingly intermin- able minute he spoke with a cheer fulness which I felt somehow was forced. .'You are a marvel, Mrs. Under would, enough to upset any physician theories. Yes, you may get up, pro- vided you will be very quiet and careful .~ .sThank you I will be most docile May I ask one question:" T.
