Country people continue to view
with amazement the increasing amount
of crime existent in our big cities. The
newspaper accounts of murders, hold
ups and robberies are so numerous as
to lead one to the belief that it is I'M
safe even to walk the streets of some
of these cities, especially if a person
has the appearance of being a pros
porous man from country town or
district.
1t would not be impossible for the
police to search every known criminal
or suspicious character whenever they
are met, and jail those upon whom
concealed weapons are found.
A reputable citizen found with a gun
upon his person is promptly pinched,
hauled into court and fined.
The criminal element loads itself
with artillery" and walks the streets
with impunity, ready to shoot at the
first opportunity.
City authorities who permit these
conditions to prevail are dangerously
near to being in the same class with
the gunner who commit the crimes,
for the man who aids or abets is sec
ond only to the principal.
Cold facts may be unpleasant things
to read, but they are beneficial where
people have the courage to &C upon
them.

Store News Should
Be Published Regularly

People like to read store news along with the
Of the day, and every merchant should certain
mount of space regularly the home newspapers and
keep it filled every day week with and interesting
information regarding the merchandise carried. This
applies to every line OF retail business.
The copy for this advertising should be handled in
careful manner as is given to the trimming of the
windows and the interior of the store All merchandise
has certain personality which should be brought out in
the arrangement of the goods for display The is
true in the preparation of advertising copy which should
be edited as carefully copy malorder catalog.
Every item advertised should carry description of
the merchandise, bringing out the strong points few
simple words and short sentences possible being
full however to avoid exaggeraton. Simply state the
facts in plain ordinary language and in as few words
possible.
If there is an exceptional bargain, the public should
be told about but always with true statement regard
ing the quality of the merchandise offered Flaming
headlines such as 'The Greatest Bargains Ever Offered
will attract attention. but if used too frequently they will
destroy confidence in that stores advertising.
Never use big Words involved or complicated SEN
fences in advertising copy Good advertising not fine
phrasng or beautiful sketches is not the latest
fad style that brings response to advertising 1t is
simply the art of describing in Short punchy sentences
the merchandise being offered; and of telling the indv
lduals addressed interesting way that the very
thing they want and admire and cove ready for
them.
One Of the best layouts of store news advertising
which we have in files is the "Clockad of Ohio
firm which is in the local papers each week This is
tWo-column advertisement running the full length Of
the page It is divided into twelve sections each section
marked at the side with Roman mineral running from

attractive items in each section.
The people of the town and country have become ac-
customed to watching for this Cocad each week. and

proved to be the most satisfactory for

much more careful study and further
experimentation.
Perhaps even more important is
the application of education, as such.
to the prisoner. The possibilities
here are obviously great, in spite of
equally obvious difficulties. But
where it has been seriously tried, as
at San Quentin, Mr.. Tannenbaum re-
ports: Il found a genuine interest in

prison into an educational institu-

of value. But the men in prison

nity-with manifold community

A S the introduction to this col
~ lection of short tales. pro-
vided by the Rev. Charles
w. Gordon (who is better known as
Ralph Connor), asserts, they have
the merit of being "rescripts OF
events that have happened in the
authors personal experience" The
author has been a missionary among
the comparatively wild men of the
West, in Canada, and is here re-
counting various episodes leading to
the conversion and redemption OF
certain pretty tough human speci-
mems 1t is a simply, sincerely pre-
.sented story of "the triumph Of the
Gospel in the souls of men," as the
writer saw ii. Some episodes are
little more than anecdotes. but
others have dramatic quality. 1t Is
a proof of its popular appeal that
this is an enlargement, with new
stories added, of a previous edition

purpose, but the vivid description is
all there and the book is fun Of very
fine phrases, but without any pre-
tentiousness. There is also much
sound comedy, subtle bumor that
gives warmth and glow to the mar
rative. 1t is too complex an affair
to admit of a brief summarizing, but
q bit Of dialogue may serve to state
at least part of its text:

From my point of view the man

IF she is selfish. so selfish that
she wishes to have everything while
giving nothing in return, so selfish
that she looks upon the world as her
debtor-she must mold mems atti-
tude toward Der. And men can no
longer regard her with the chivalry
and reverence in which men held

n HR. TANNENBAUM has been
V the target of a good deal of
hostile and not always very
intelligent criticism in the past. and
there has been a disposition shown
in some quarters to regard him as
an overexcited enthusiast, to use no
harsher term. Whatever one may
think of some of his sociological
theory 1t is but just 10 realize that
he is entirely sincere. very much in
earnest and acting with the noblest
of motives in his argument and rec
concentrations. Also. it should be re-
membered that, in the case OF this
book. he is speaking from first hand
knowledge. He is not imagining his
facts. Possibly his presentation of
some of them may-not unnaturally
be a little highly colored, but they
are essentially facts.
1t needs no argument to show that
our whole prison system is far from
being a success, either as punitive
or reformatory institution or as a
sufficiently effective deterrent OF
crime. 1t may well be that no prison
can have much effect in preventing
or minimizing crime. That. more
over. is not the subject of this study.
Mr.. Tannenbaum is here concerned
with the prisoner after he has been
convicted, with his treatment as a
prisoner. its effects upon him and
the after effects upon the comnlu-
nifty as a whole.
The earlier chapters of the book
are largely narrative and descrip-
tive, although he starts with an ex-
animation of the psychology of
prison cruelty" AS a picture OF facts.
most of which are pretty well estab-
lished, 1t may be commended espe-
cially to any one who may think
that things are being managed pretty
we'll in most OF our jails.
But of more Importance than this
is Mr.. Tannenbaum's advocacy of re-
form measures. They may be boiled
down to two: the so-called "prison
democracy" idea and education in a
broader sense. As to the first, the
ideal is that "the prison must become
"a self governing as wen as a self
sustaining community in an eco
nomic sense" 1t is at least a line OF
hopeful endeavor that deserves
