WAR WAGE MADE NEW TYPE OF
 CRIMINAL
MEN, WOMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS BECAME USED TO HIGH WAGES EASILY MADE AND QUICKLY SPENT; ECONOMIC REDJUSTmENT CREATED DIS- CONTENT

LONDON, Dec. 29. The high wages which prevailed in wartime are blamed by the Governor of Durham prison for the creation of a new class of lawbreakers who have sprung into existence in the last few months. The governors conclusions are given in the report of the com missioners of prisons
 The governor does not accept the theory that the spirit of lawlessness acquired by men while serving with the military forces is to blame for this outbreak of dishonesty.
 "The fact that women equally with men are the offenders discounts the value of this explanation" he says. "I thinl; the explanation is rather to be found in the fact that high wages. once easily earned more easily spent are now not obtainable.
 USED TO "sIG MONEY"
 Men and women, boys and girls have all become used to big money out of all proportion to the slight effort necessary to obtain it.
 "The slow but sure economic re adjustment of the past year has ere ated a number of discontented reck- less people, who do not realize that they have been living in an artificial wage market and unconsciously re- sent the changed conditions of supply and demand, work and pay
 "Thev must have money to pro vide the luxuries and amusements to which they have grown accustomed so they steal. pilfer and loaf
 A large increase in garage break ing and motor-thieving is reported bv the Governor of Wadsworth jail whose view is that the experience and Knowledge of motor mechanics gained in the army" are largely re- spOnsble for this.
 ELEMENT OF SPORT
 "A sort of esprit de corps seems to have sprung up among these men" adds the governor "Et is a form of thieving that has an element of sport and pleasure. with good returns when successful and 1t seems to have attracted many who would not other wise have taken to crime as pro- fcssion."
 "The commitals to prison for non payment of income tax show a marked increase" states the Govern or of Birmingham prison This in crease would seem to call for some alternative method of collection, such as deduction from wages when paid. The men earning high wages are not taxed until some months afterward, by which time, as at present, work is slack, and they have not the money to pay"

CHICAGO, April 13.-Farmers
in an isolated district of the Dakota
praries have cult whose rites are
as startling as the most bizarre of
mystic cults in the cities, says Mrs.
Florence Bratsberg in a bill of di-
vorce filed here.
According to her allegations,
some of the tents of the order to
which her husband belongs are:
Wives must be beaten at regular
intervals.
The eyes of wives must be puffed
and blaekened by blows so that they
will not be attractive to other men.
Husbands must leave their wives
for long periods so that their love
will not die of mOnotony.
Mrs. Bratsberg said she had new
er heard the name of the cult but
that its membership included many
farmers.
The cult adherents, she said, beat
their wives and spent long periods
away from home.
Mrs. Bratsberg charges that when
her husband worked himself into a
religious FRENZY he "mercilessly
beat, choked, and bruised" her.
They were married in July, 1918.
According to Mrs. Bratsberg, her
husband left her on his period of
