CRIME.

According to Current History. there
We're more people murdered in the
United States in the six years from 1912
to 1918 than there were Americans killed
in the World war. Also, the criminal
indictments pending in the federal courts
in 1921 numbered 10000 against $500
in 1912.
Indictments for murder seem to mean
little, even when the criminal is appre-
heuded and arraigned. which is not
often. 1t is stated that in New York
city the chance of a murderer escaping
punishment is GO to /
The increase in burglaries and hold
ups is well known. The thefts from
transportation companies alone. in
money and goods taken from railroad
ears and steamship piers. are estimated
at more than $1O0,000,0O0 a year.
The crime wave" may be blamed.
like most other evils, on the war. but
that does not dispose of the problem,
nor fully explain it, nor excuse it. This
record means laxity in the public con-
science and laxity in acknowledgements.
And it doesn't help any in enforcing the
law against violent criminals when sup
posedly respectable members of society
are defying the law with IMMUNITY and
a clear conscience in such a matter as
prohibition.

A True Story.
Our neighbor had some homemade brew
He kept down in the cellar
Containing yeast and raisins, too
He was a clever Teller.
Directions said: ''One solid year
You let the contents mingle
And then you have some home made beer
That makes your insides Jingle"
And so our friend had kept his stuff
For one year after making;
Twas time that it was ripe enough
To set his nerves a-quaking-
To drown in tears of JOY his woe,
To ruin prohibition.
He thought he'd let his friends all know
He'd realized his ambition.
And thus il was one week end night
There was party royal
And in this home it was sight
To see his friends so loyal.
Our neighbor. beaming. made n speech
And then they went down cellar;
They said he surely was q peach
y marvellous good Teller.
He dug hole and found the key
He'd buried when he made it.
Cnlockeu u closet uOOf with gee
They all pushed in to raid it.
Friend Neighbor reached the barrel first
With mug in hand TO try it;
1t seemed TO him that one years thirst
Would be abated by it.
Then he exclaimed and dropped his mug
1t was life's toughest minute,
For he'd forgot the hole to plug
There wasn't any in it!

A Brief for Outdoor Sports.
BARRE Times. }

Report comes from st. Johnsbury that
with the development of winter sport
amusements such as skiing, tobogganing.
snowshOeing, skating and horse racing
on the snow path, the attendance at the
indoor entertainments. such as moving
pictures, has fallen off materially If
there be no other benefit from the
change, it seems likely that there ought
TO be vast improvement in the public
health of the community. Anything
that gets the people out of doors. clothed
in seasonable apparel. is apt to give the
individuals a better chance to resist the
inroadS of disease, providing, of course.
those persons take the usual precautions
against exposing themselves to danger
of colds. The outdoor life is bound to
give them strengthened armor against
the attack of disease germs. whereas,
budding in rooms poorly ventilated is
likely to make them particularly suscep-
tible to disease. Therefore, outdoor sports
score heavily in this respect

Sapphire with n History.

The big sapphire on the top of the cross
On the state crown of the king of England
once was believed to have the power of
curing rheumatism. sciatica and various
other diseases which afflicted men a thou
sand or so years ago. 1t is not believed
that this stone has lost any of the powers
with which it began life perhaps a million
years ago, but Il large part of the British
public seems to have lost faith in its cura-
tive properties. The sapphire was once
the setting of the coronation ring of Ed
ward the ConfesSOr, who was buried in
Westminster Abbey, and was taken out of
his casket in the year 1101. since which
time it has been one of the English crown
jewels. To whom it belonged before it
became the property of the pious Ed
ward historians do not tell.-Washington

For seventeen years Judge Lands has

editorial contributes some interesting
census figures which show the power the
women voters of this group of states
have should they choose to act as a unit.
The census enumerators found that
women citizens of voting age outnumber
the men in every New England state
with the exception of Vermont, but the
men are in the majority here only by a
narrow margin. This margin, however,
is going to make some of the politicians
feel safer. for as so many of the old
timers say, you can never tell what
the women will do.
