SEES j. S. LOSER IN NOT
RECOGNIZING RUSS
Christensen Says This Nation
Should Take Lead in Face
of Conditions.
By JUNIUs h. WOOD.

'(By Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1927
SHANGHAI. December 26.-America
should take the lead in recognizing
soviet Russia, urges Farley p. Chris
tensen. the farmer-labor candidate for
President in 1920. who is making a
tour of the world TO study agrarian
problems.
Great Britain's action. The United
States is losing glorious commercial
opportunity by hesitating to set the
example. Unless the United States
begins supplying Russia with needed
finished products the chance of MAX
ing Il big market for herself there
will be lost forerer'.
I'VE in the United States believe
that the American farmer is the best
in the world. Yet there are many
things he has not learned. | have
seen farms in New England ahan-
doned because 200 years of cultiva-
ton had exhausted the soil. ] have
seen little farms in China cultivated
for 2200 years that are still pro-
ducing crops Americans can learn
something from China of soil renewal
by fertilization and this is necessary
il we are to maintain our position as
an agricultural country.
Problems of Consumption.
The American farmer also needs
to study the distribution of his
products among the consumers. In
Denmark the farmer gets IS per cent
of the retail selling price of the farm
products. The American farmer gets
IS per cent, the difference going TO
the jobbers. middlemen and other fac
tors in distribution

About eight days supply now is on

MAKING OF DETECTIVES.
Horse Sense Better Than Deduction
Saws Sir Basil Thomson.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Horse sense. and not scientific train
ing. makes great detectives.
No less an authority than Sir Basil
Thomson said SO recently IN an in
terview. The chances are that Sir
Basil knows wnat he is talking about.
For eight years he was chief of the
bureau of Investigation of Scotland
Yard. London. the alma mater OF
many of the great crininologistS OF
the world. Then for three years fol-
chief of the British secret service.
81 know as many crooks as any
one" conceded Sir Basil. For the
last twenty-five years l have kept
pretty bad COMPANY
Stage detectives would do well to
learn a few things from Sir Basil.
He is middle-aged and looks like a
banker. His voice is gentle. his man
ner courtly. He is a student of crime.
this man, whose father was Arch
bishop Of York. His writings range
from fiction to travel lore and an
thropologlcal subjects.
Intelligence, hard work and good
organization. not all sorts Of scien-
tiflc aids, are the three essentials
necessary in solving crime" the for
mer Scotland Yard chief said,
"Give me q jack-of-all- trades Witt
out a first-rate detective" Sir Basil
continued. II have no patience with
the deduction methods of Sherlock
Holmes. They are no good. His head
was filled with useless facts. why
should any one carry around such
trashy knowledge as how many steps
it was from one room to another. as
the great Sherlock did, and impressed
Dr. Watson with his sagacity:
why should detective know all
sorts Of things upon which crime
might hinge? You can go around the
corner and get any sort of expert on
any question: 1apidarist for crimes
in which jewels figure, skilled chem
lists for acid marks, physicians for
blood tests. metallurgists for coun-
terfeiting cases.
"The solution Of crime lies in sheer
hard work."
When asked to give his opinion on
the methods employed in this country
in the solution Of crime, Sir Basil
said he had made only some super
flcial observations in New York. He
added that he was mot here to crit
icize."
There seems also to be in this
country q tendency % forget crimes.
Your newspapers play up crimes. For
a while the public interest Is intense.
Then. II the public feels that the po-
Ece have fallen down on their Jobs,
they turn to some new sensation and
interest. In England we never let a
crime die. After it's discovery it is
reported each day to the authorities
until 1T is solved.
"And the reports are written in red
ink. There is little chance of them
forgetting the unsolved crime when
they see that red ink each day." 4

SOCIAL CHAT A STRAIN. :
More Harmful to Mind and Nerves
Than Serious Talk.

From the New York World.
There is greater nerve strain in
keeping up conversation of small talk
than in discussing a serious topic
asserts DR.. Agnes Savill of London.
She is among tho foremost Of British
woman. physicians and is famous for
her works on elAotro- o-therapeutics.
In a lecture at the Institute OF Hy-
siene on 1.-The Dangers of Society to
Health" she added:
Society girls have their brains and
mental equipment adjusted to this
level Of scrappy ordinations early
In life and it spoils their subsequent
development and their capacity to
reach a better stage Of intellectual
growth.
Society life encourages the perni-
cious habit of the too frequent ciga-
rette. 1t encourages girls to take
cocktails and whisky-andsoda
"The hectic life of continual excit-
ment, the absence of all repose. all
time for meditation, the. perpetual
change, the cigarette smoking. irreg-
,1lar and unhealthy meals-no won
der these girls become the prey of
disease"
