JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

(. (: j.. : (: = :: (. :, (: g
It is becoming more and more evil
den that the lessening of crime, es-
pecially juvenile crime, is at cotton
an educational problem. This has
come to be felt through the failure OF
so many remedies which have been
advocated for the cure of crime. Most
of these remedies were of a palliative
nature. Such efforts represent we'll
intended plans. but their sponsors
were not patient enough. They
thought that crime. which is as old as
human nature. could be cradicated.
But the more crime is studied, the
more it is realized that there IS no
ro%sl read to reform. except by grad
ual educative processes requiring
mach investigation. This idea has
beer so far developed tnat the prop
osition has been. made 10 place all re-
formatory and penal institutions un-

State al paid to the schools of the
forty-six counties from July 1, 1921,

These payments inciude The eleven
items provided by the legislature to-
gether with the federal aid for vcca-
tional training allotted to South Car
olina under the Smith-Hrghes cat of
congress.
The corresponding figures for the
preceding year were S1,4S6,419.56.
The difference was due to inadequate
appropriations for high schools, Ger
crowding in elementary department
of high schools and for the equaliz-
ing law guaranteeing a seven months
term.
In disbursing the funds under these
four activities, the state superintend-
ent's Office was compelle to prorate

WINTER BUILDING ' UNUSUALLY LARGE
Northeastern Part of J. s. Shows
 Much Being Done

Chicago Nov. 20.--More than the usual amount of winter activity in building with residential work taking prominent part, is indicated in survey of activities made by The Am erican Contractor in 27 states form ing the main northeastern part of the United States.
 Valuation of the 2,141 contracts awarded for the week ending Octo- Der 2s, reached a total of $e4,34S,4 400 and was put slightly lower than the weekly average for the first nine months of this record breaking year, says the publication.
 Boom Started.
 The volume of contracts award ed during the last two weeks of Oc- tober, which are normally dull, shows that there is expectation of less let-up than usual during the winter period" the paper states. There are incontrovertible facts which show that building activity is in no danger of a slump for months to come.
 Contemplated work reported for Lne We6h SUullB OCtODeT 70 tOLdlCu $100, 0,662,900. For the correspond ing week of 1921. this total was only s6.s22,ooo and the valuation of contracts awarded was only s51.71s,- 500. Yet the fall of 1921 was con- sidered a good opener for the spring season of 1922.
 "Of the contemplated work for that week. $4e,4a1, 200 is for resi- dential building as against s12,3s1,- 900 for business building and S7,o25,- 300 for industMal building While the demand for residence building has not diminished and will not di- minish for some time. there is little business and industrial building going on and a period of business expansion will add these projects to the field. Tn addition there Is much educational and governmental building in abey- ance which must be done soon.
 Labor is Scarce
 Skilled labor will be scarce next year e it is now, Indications are that h6 reduction will be made in wages of common labor which is all absorbed. Material men are pro- ducing at increased costs. The de- mand for labor and materials in the spring will equal the supply. From such facts, a definite logical conclu- sion regarding future building costs can be drawn by aAyone."

SHORT SKIRTS ID
 REMAIN IN HAITI
They Wore Elm That Way When
 Jackson Was President

Cape Haitien, Nov. 20.--Haiti often has been referred to as backward nation, but in dress the Haitian wom- an of the predominating peasant class long anticipated, the American f1appefs in two Of her most distinc- tive traits. Short skirts and the trick of rolling her own" were adopted here long before the happer took them to her heart. Short skirts are a necessity to the woman who spends her days toiling in garden or rid- ing a burro. They wore them short in Haiti when Andrew Jackson was in the White House. and the style has not changed.
 It was in 1915 that the peasant woman began to roll her own" In that year the occupation forces of American marines and short leave parties of bluejackets brought a golden trail of American coin to the impoverished island. Regiments and ships bought freely in the markets, and the women reaped the benefit Haiti is country of caste, and the possession of shoes and stockings marks decided social advance for the peasant class. They invested their earnings in them, but drew the line at garters, and necessity taught them a substitute.
 It is now common sight to see the women of Haiti on the roads leading to the city markets, seated side fashion on their gray burros, whip out stockings at the city limits, don them while ths little burros ann ble patiently on, and then give them the final twist and roll before lacing their shoes. When the days dork is done, the reverse is accomplished as the city limits drop behind, and stock ings are packed away until the next state occasion.
 There is one distinctive feature of women's dress in Haitian peasant circles, however. that wiR hardly find favor in the sophisticated eyes of the American flapper. Frequently one sees among the universal faded blue and white attire, one of red, white and blue, with the three colors arranged in fantastic patterns of stripes and squares, usually topped by a bright red bandanna turban. A peasant woman thus arrayed, accustomed to carry burdens on ther head from in- fancy, strides along in this gay cos tune with the carriage of a Greek goddess She is ''penitente" who has broken one of the laws of the peasant code of conduct, and her self-elected costume openly pro- .,..~.u &o bar eiotoru that che ba hackslidden from their curious code and is wiping it out by public pen ance.

aboriginal art For purposes af study they would have done as well had they been wrought in copper. but since they are worth about saso.ooo. they are always in charge of special guards and are heavily insured.
 The collections from British colum- bia include fooe dishes as big as modern bathtubs, a remarkable whaling boat made from the trunk of a single tree. and many other objects which show the resourcelulness and skill which was attained by the In- dians of the far northwest. Alaska and the land of the Ekimos are rep resented by many fur garments Of great value and beauty. In fact. the whole range of the western world, from the tropics to the poles, may be seen in relation to the manners and the customs ot the aborigines.
 Art of Mayas
 One of the most ancient of the civilizations was visualized by the fine examples of the art of the Mayas. a race which disappeared before the Aztecs. In this division was shown the finest piece of incised pottery of Mayan origin known in scientific cir- cles a sacrihcial vessel used in the worship of the sun. The objects of this lost civilization were gathered in Guatemala and British Honduras.
 A marvellous insight into the artis- tic beauty Of the craftsmanship of the Aztecs was a shield of cedar with d design of turquoise mosaics in which 14.000 pieces were used. This shield. which is undoubtedly the best example of mosaic work of the kind extant, probably was employed in the worship of the planet Venus. and car cuted in thousands of small bits of the stone varying in shade from light green to deep blue green. all ar ranged so as to give an exquisite blending of coors
 Ecuador is revealed by remark able collection of stone ceremonial seats, not unlike the classic chairs with scroll arms which were fash toned by the Greeks and Romans.
 Another unusual feature of the col lection is an array of objects from fcuCZurfd7 y piSdl oI lHc dDOIlBlndl days. comparatively new field in archaeology is represented by the col lection from Brazil, which is the most recent acquisition of the institution.
 The imagination of the visitors was kindled at the sight of wooden canoe paddle. precisely of the type described in the voyages of Columbus, and judged by experts to belong to that period. This rare object was found in a cave in Cuba which had been sealed for centuries by the ac- ton of the seas.
 The space for exhibition permits the showing of only small part of the collections at one time. For the benefit of scholars, artists, designers. manufacturers and for the general public. there are glass covered draw CTS under the cases. which can be pulled out by those who desire to pursue their inspection.

All intoxicating drinks known to the ancients seem to have been fer mented, the art of distilling liquors being first mentioned by Albuksssen, an Arabian physician of the tenth century
