CHINA'S JOURNALISM GROWS
Newspapers Are Gradually Using
Style of American Papers.

Style of American Papers.
American journalism is gradually
getting a foot-hold in the Far East,
said Y. P. Wang. a student in the
School of Journalism and formerly act
ing manager of the Shun Pao, Shanghai.
The style of news writing is widely
different in both languages. but the
principles are the same. Owing to the
close contact between the Chinese and
Americans. it is no wonder that the
Chinese newspapers are gradually assum-
ing the style Of the American news
papers.
The Shun Pao of Shanghai is one Of
the largest and most progressive news
papers in China. On October 10. which
is the anniversary Of the Chinese Re.
public, this paper issues special edi-
tion, called the Republican Anniver-
sary edition. The edition Of this year,
of which the School Of journalism has
just received copy, is especially at
tractive in many ways.
This edition comprises three sections
of sixteen pages each, resembling the
Sunday issue Of this country. Besides
the marked improvement in the print
ing, advertisements with cuts and make
up are noticeably American.
There is also an article in this edi.
ton written by Mr.. Wang. infusing
American ideals of journalism into the
Chinese newspapers.

either side be expecied-and what will
come of it? .g
These questions have been asked a
thousand times since the two national or.
carnations fighting for aud opposed to
prohibition began their series Of conflict
ing claims.
The truth lies between the two as

figures to show that Congress is still dry

when one finds each side claiming some
Of the same men as being wet and dry
and when the doubtful or non-voting
group is examined and when some Of the
wavering ones are canvassed, the eonclu.
sion is inescspable that nothing is defi-

prohibition issue will be decided in the
next Congress by an opportunist bloc
which will wait 10 see which way the cat

William Allan Pinkerton, famed detective, says CRIMINALS
of today are mentally inferior to the old-time master mlnds
of crime.
Pinkerton's explanation is that the clever crook mas
turned to bootlegging, which among crooks is considered as
approaching responsibility.
A bootlegger's customers, to whom he sells stolen OF doc
tored hooch, are more pleasant to deal with than the lower
grade ssfences'' who buy the loot of conventional robberles.
Another reason why so few men Of intelligence are found
among modern criminals is because the wise ones have reanzed
that the mental resourcefulness, necessary for a success1ul
criminal career, usually pays better when applied to legltl-
mate pursuits.
The man who invented the first gold brick, for instance,
was a high type of scientific salesman, though 1T probably
never occurred to him that a man who could sell brass 1or
gold could sell almost anything, even snow at the north pole
What the modern criminal lacks in intelligence, COM
pared with the crooks of a generation ago, he generally makes
up in willingness to commit murder without hesitation, says
Pinkerton.
The oldtime crook usually shot only as a last resort.
Today every city has a breed Of crooks who Will Kill as
quickly and indiferently as the fctional bad man OF early
days in the west.
Murder and a crooks willingness to dump OF" his VIC
tim have become the foremost criminal problems.
In the old days when a footpad usually used a blackjack
r a niece of lead pipe, his victim had a chance. Today the
pistol has taken the place of blackjack and lead pipe.
The average modern crook is a coward unless ne has a
pistol and cocaine or some other drug to create IN him the
false courage necessary to make him use his ga"
Control of the drug traffic and an absolute prohibition OF
nistols are necessary before crime can be restrained on a Dig
scale. Make it impossible for crooks to get pistols and drugs
and crime news will become dull.

AN CITY
MARKET is DESCRIBED
Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-When
the Washington housewife bustles
about filling her basket in old Cen
ter Market nowadays she is really
doing business with Uncle Sam. The
National Capital is so used to Fed
deral control of it's affairs hat the
Governments entrance into the
market business has aroused little
comment. The same fat butchers
and spry green grocers attend their
stalls. Business at Center Market
goes on just as it did before the
department of Agriculture took
charge last April. Yet Center Mar
ket represents a new and unusual
Government activity.
Since the District of Columbia
was established, the Government
has owned the land on which this
market stands. When the plan of
the Capital was approved by George
Washington, a piece of land in a
convenient down town location was
set aside for a central market place.
For years unsatisfactory market
buildings stood there until in 1870
Congress authorized the i~ncorpora-
ton of a Washington Market Com
rany. the law provided that at the
end of 80 years the Government
WOuIu Cancel Ille CLldlIGE anu
pay the company for the buildings
and improvements. The Govern
ment did not claim this right, how
ever, until this year.
In April, the project was taken
by the Bureau CT Markets in the De-
partment of Agriculture. The Gov
eminent now owns the buildings,
rents out the stalls. fixes the rules
for the sanitation and quality of
food, and in general conducts a
thriving market business from its
office upstairs.
1t is very much like a laboratory
experiment The scientist conducts
the experiment and notes the pro-
cess and results, after which he car.
recount the whole thing Tor the
benefit of others. The Department
Of Agriculture experts are STUDYING
their market with the idea of help
ing communities that may have
market troubles.
1t has been p~ropnesied that the
municipal market IS all institution
hat is doomed to extinction. The
arguments are that the corner go
Gerry is too powerful a rival; that
women have no time to go any
great distance to a market; that
city space is too valuable to be given
over 10 outdoor carts and to a Creat
collection of indoor stalls. More
over. as a final indication of the
trend of affairs it has been shown
that as suburbs spread out in all
directions from the city the farmer
is being pushed back-too far back
for MIN to market his produce.
