Lashes for Bandits.

To THE NEW YORK Herald: The Mag
istrates are to blame to n great extent
for this increase of bandit crime. They
are too lcnient and release of bandits
on bail is a farce.
Start in and give bandits twenty
lashes with the old cat o. nine tails and
twenty years in Sing Sing, and / will
guarantee there will be no more hold
ups n. s. Wears.
NEW YORK, April IL,
The New York herald., 1922-04-13

The New York Legislature has not
authorized the lash for punishment for
criminals; hence no matter how D.
Judge may feel about It. he is with
cut authority to direct its use.

HEAVY "MAIL" IN THAT BOX
Incident Once More Proved Truth Of
Saying Concerning Satan and
the Idle Hands.

Three small idle children sat upon
the curb, and without doubt Satan
was seeking mischief for six idle little
Lands. Perhaps Satan did put the
thought in the mind Of the smallest,
or perhaps 1t was just the impishness
Of childhood. He sat with his eyes
upon the letter box beside him, and
when they had wandered from that
they rested upon two refuse cans in a
basement entry. The cans were full
to overtiowing.
Suddenly he scrambled to his feet,
tottered TO the cans, filled his hands
with various juicy matter, returned
to the letter box, and. stretching on
tlptoe, Just managed to get his cargo
into the top Of the box. His compan-
Ions saw, comprehended. and sprang
up with yelps Of Joy. They being a
bit bigger and quicker, followed his
example with great success. There
were many busy trips to the refuse
cans; loud, hurried changing of the

"NiANSLAUGHTER" AT PALACE.

Yesterday was the fourth day of the run at the Palace of Cecil B. De Miles greatest photoplay hit Man slaughter, and again last evening the house was completely sold out be- fore the performance started. Those who could not get in to see 1t prac- tically begged for admission For these several hundred who will want to see 1t the management has made arrangements to play it again tonight. In conjunction with this photoplay hit there will be four new acts of Keith vaudeville that should be well liked. Morris and Flynn offer smart cycle of songs and a dash of comedy. Chamberlain and Earle, a classy pair, have a very entertaining variety act. Dancing in the slang language is often called "bootlegging" therefore. Lew and Paul Murdock are the kind of bootleggers who are within the law. The Lordon Sisters are two clever girls who will offer a novelty aerial act that abounds with thrills and daring stunts. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week the Pal ace will offer James Oliver Curwood' s story of the great Northwest, T Am the Law" 8 photoplay that tells a wonderful tale of the mounted po- lice.

 That it would not be easy to con- bine a honeymoon trip with hunt ing" trip was evident to both, but each kept up a pretence of confidence.
 One night as the ship was ap- preaching Naples they ran into a storm, a squally thing, that proved to be more noise than danger.
 But the wall of the mind and the uneasy motion of the ship wrought it's own mood upon Edna, as she lay awake, marveling that Jack could sleep through it all like baby.
 Queer, insensitive creatures men. Yet how inordinately sensitive to bus Iiness. Two or three times Edna had felt real bangs of jealousy at Jack s preoccupation with the problem Of Cousins and the old electric supplies corporation
 Visions Of husband increasingly losing interest in her and devoting it to business finally conjured up such vivid pictures of unhappiness in store that Edna sat up in sudden fright.
 Her husband was lying quietly, his profile to her. It seemed that unless she received instant assurance from

 After that he kept his eye on her, crouching down in the tall grass until she strayed near him, And then he spoke.
