EARL YOUNG CoNFEssEs.

Earl Young, an 11-year-old boy
livingron, West, Exchange street, has
confessed, according to the police
that he stole a leather folder out of
the machine owned by travelling
salesman some months ago, and
burned papers contained in the
folder, which the travelling man
said were worth several thousand
dollars to him, but nothing to any,
one else.
The youngster has also admitted
other thefts, the police say.
Officers blame conditions under
which the boy lives at home, for his
Maynard course.

cities or in the country are under
nourished. He also advises the par
ents as to what steps they should take
to correct these defects. 1t is the
doctors request that as many par
ents as can, accompany their child
rem to the clinic as he prefers to talk
directly with them of their children's
cases.
DR.. Campbell, discussing tubercu-
losis, declared that the strong healthy
person, who is careless of how and
when he coughs and expectorates, is
more dangerous as a disease spread
err than the tuberculosis victim who
is careful.
Most people do not think to put
their handkerchief or their hand over
their mouth when they cough, or to
be careful where they spit.
"On the other hand, take the care
full tuberculosis patient. He places a
cloth over his mouth when he coughs
and his spittum is burned. In this
way, there is very little chance to
communicate the disease to another.
| would feel safer living with a per-
son suffering from tuberculosis who
was careful than do in public places
with people who are careless about
coughing and expectorating.
The doctor said that medical sci
ence no longer entertains the theory
of heredity of tuberculosis, but said
that the disease is communicated
from one member Of the family to
another, in many cases, through pure
carelessness.

BUYERS AND SELLERS
 STRUGGLE CONTINUES

ROME. July 12.-The struggle between buyers and sellers still con tinues in Italy, as it goes to the heart of the Italian storekeeper to reduce those prices which have made his fortune since the war.
 A large quantity of wool has been sent to Italy from Australia and consequently the Italian woolen merchants find difficulty in dis posing of their goods, and fine woolen stuff can now be produced for $10 yard. The shopkeepers, however, refuse to sell this cheaper material until they have exhausted all the dearer but inferior quality cloth which they have in their shops and continue calmly to charge from $100 to $2O0 for suit of clothes

NOTABLE WORK OF
 CHINESE IN PAST
 YEAR; FORESTATION

] PEKING, July 12.-Forestation in China made noteworthy progress in 1920 through the activities chief ly of the provincial governments. More than 13O,O00,0OO shoots were planted and cultivated by twenty one afforestation institutions in cen tral and north China at cost of a quarter of a million dollars in Chi nese currency.
 The government railways, antici- pating their need of timber, have also taken steps to plant trees along their rights of way. One alone, the KansuHaichow railway, is in pro- cess of planting 100000 trees, ac- cOrding to the Bureau of Economic Information.
 Afforestation has been extended to nearly all the provinces, with espec- ially promising stations in Shan tung and Kiangsu. In the latter province, at Nankin, there are ap- proximately 6,000 .,acres .devoted to the cultivation efa2b 900, oo0 trees. In this station students are given a three years course in forestation and later are sent to various dis tricts to specialize.
 There are three gardens in shan tung which occupy some TOO acres. The largest and most prosperous station is in the north of Kiangsu near Yengshow where 5000 to 4,000 trees are grown every. year. Special appreciation schols have been estab- Hshed in Anhwei, Chekiang, Hupeh, iSzechuak and ShansiT It is esti- mated that twenty-fve per cent of sthe 1900 hsiens or countries in China are now engaged in this work which the Chinese hope will in due course transform many of their bar en tracks into flouring forests.
 The establishment of a national Arbor Day when all classes of the population are encouraged to plant trees, is pointed to by the Bureau as an indication of China's awaken ing to the value of forestation.

TO SELL SUGAR LESS THAN COST
 OF PRODUCTION
Two Hundred Thousand Tons May Have to Be Disposed
 of in Porto Rico.

SAN JUAN, P. R., July 13.-Ef- forts of sugar producers and others to get together in some concerted effort to relieve the present de- pressed sugar situation so far have failed.
 R. Aboy Benitez, president of the Sugar Producers Association, has beer in favor of the formation of a selling sasnmittee, the holding of sugars until better prices prevail, and an ending of the practice of shipping sugar to New York unsold to be kicked about the market and purchased at any prices the refiners offer MT. Aboy Benitez is of the opinion that unsold sugars in New York have helped bring about the unbroken drop in all sugar prices during the past few weeks.
 While there are some other pro ducers and others interested in the sugar business who agree with MT. Aboy Benitez, there are apparently large number of interested parties who are convinced that Porto Rico sugars are too small factor in the situation to affect the market one way or the other. They say there are 1,250,000 tons of sugar in Cuba ready for shipment
 With the gradual winding up of the grinding season in the island, it has become apparent that there arc more than 100000 tons of sugar here available for shipment at time when prices are lower than any time during a five-year period and mean ing a loss on every pound of sugar sold
 It is generally estimated that an average cost of $6 per hundred pounds for producing this years sugar crop is conservative and that any price under that will mean a loss to most of the producers in the island. The crop is the most ex- pensive ever harvested in the island, and the low prices which have pre- vailed have been particularly hard on the actual cane growers.
 J. Ruiz Soler, secretary of the Sugar Producers Association, who has recently been in the States and who sailed again on Wednesday. said that he did not know what the flu ture market was going to be, but that he was opposed to any plan for holding sugars with the hope of better market later on. Conditions uara fnO ,1upertaiu for tho adOntiou of such a course, in his opinion.

ALCOHOLIC PSYCH0S|S SHOWS
 DECREASE ALSO CRIMINALITY
 ON ACCOUNT OF PROHIBITION

"A study reported by Mrs. Tyson in Pennsylvania, shows the number of non-support cases in Pittsburgh dropped from 1855 in 1919 to 7S6 in 1920. The jail population of the State was decreased by half during last year.
 Petty Crimes Diminish.
 Tn spite of the increase in ar rests and commitments due to the enforcement of the prohibitory law which tends to increase the number of crimes and prisoners, in Ohio the Secretary of the Board of Chari- ties writes me that he is convinced that prohibition has resulted thus far in decrease of at least 20 per cent in petty and major offenses which, were crimes prior to the en- actment of the prohibition law.
 George s. Wilson, Secretary of the Board of Charities of the Dis trict of Columbia. writes me that the short cxpefieh'ce of the district since National Prohibition has gone into effect, shows very marked de- crease in the number of petty of lenders.
 Illinois in the three penal insti- tutions of Joliet, Chester, and Pom tiac, the number of inmates showed . decided increase from 1913 to 1917, then a decrease in 1918 and 1919 With another increase i'll 1920, attributed by the fiscal super visor of the Department of Publi7 Welfare to the return of paroled men to the institutions and the more rigid enforcement of the law in the cities where the newspapers have been devoting considerable space to the crime wave.
 Whether prohibition accounts for the difference, of course, is still an open question. That it has had come influence is less doubtful.
 Tn the face of these facts it is not too much to say that there is a close negative correlation between the enactment of the prohibition law and the commitments to prison, reformatory and jails.

MILWAUKEE, July 13.-Evidence has been found which seems to in- dicate that prohibition, even with the difficulty of perfect enforce ment, seems to have decided ef- feet ,,pon criminality, Professor J. L. Gillin, of the University of Wis consin told the National Conference of Social Work at it's session here.
 "The study of the situation in Grand Rapids, Mich.,' Prof, Gillin stated, showed that during the first year of prohibition there, there was a reduction of 54 per cent in court cases and of 45 per cent the second year. It is a well known fact that the excessive use of alcohol is con nected with certain crimes more di' rectly than with others. Crimes of violence are more influenced than crimes of cunning.
 "Dr. Elwood told us that alco- holic psychosis had decreased in the New York State Hospital since pro hibition went. into effect. The per CtHldSC OI HISt duHlloolOuS uCtISdot from 86 per cent to 4 per cent in 1919.
 Prisons Lose Inmates,
 Tn Indiana, in 1920, the average daily number of the State Prison was only 909 compared with 1909 in 1917. In the reformatory the number had decreased from 1276 in 1917 to 709 in 1920 in the Woman's s Prison from 55 to 45. The number of women misdemeanants in the Correctional Department of the Women's Prison had decreased from III to 37; the misdemeanants at the State Farms had decreased from 693 to 293 There was a slight de- crease in the number in the Boys School and a slight increase in the number in the Girls School for those years. The commitments to the State Farm dropped from 2322 in 1916 to 993 in 1920; to the Cor rectional Department of the Wom- ans Prison from 342 10 91; the number sentenced to jails from 9S96 to 2192.
