way into a plot Of cultivated ground.
AS an article of food he was worth
little. Florida farmers for several
wears have been stocking their places
with pure bred swine. Cooperative
sales of fine pigs, boys and girls pig
clubs organized and operated under
the supervision Of county agricultural
agents and numerous sectional organ

death knell of the razorback.

Educating Police to Cope With Crooks

~ HICAGO-A unique school is TO De

a normal school for detectives ana po-
lice. a school for the training OF men
who train policemen. Police chleIs'
chief deputies and detective chlefs
from every important city in America
will come to Chicago to take this post
graduate course in criminology, ana
to study new methods OF investlga-
ton and Identification.
Preliminary arrangements have Deen
made for the school by Prof. George
T. Ragsdale, criminologist, and head
of the police school Of Louisville, Ky.
Professor Ragsdale Is in Europe,
where he will spend several weeks at
Scotland Yard and at the police
schools at Liverpool, Manchester, Lon
don. Berlin, Vienna, Rome and Paris.
At the annual convention OF the In
ternational Association of Police
Chiefs. held in San Francisco, an ap-
propriation was voted for the school,
and Chicago was selected as its site.
A special committee was appointed to
work out the details.
The proposed school, according to
Professor Ragsdale, will make the po-
liceman's club an anachronism. Ii
will abolish the ''third degree" and
the sweat box, and make profess
sion instead Of a trade out OF the
bluecoat's calling.

Americans.

Menominee Indian Reservation, Ke-
oNena, Wis.-The Fish trail from Chi
cago to northern Wisconsin, one OF
tne ifirst automobile trails blazed by
wealthy spOrtsmen when the automo-
Ollie was luxury, runs through this
reservation.

nearing that an automobile camper be-
slde the trail had been caught in the
ram with inadequate shelter, removed
the tarpaulin from his threshing ma
cnine and offered it to the camper. NO
UPS were involved; it was simply an
'act OF courtesy.
These are the Menominees of today,
whose historical character was de-
7scribed in Washington Indian service
report thus:
"A woods Indian, the .Menominee
was striking figure, generally six feet
and over in height, giant in strength; |;
Few in number compared with other
gseat tribes, their bravery and fighting
qualities enabled them to hold their
own with surrounding tribes. Their
word once given could be relied upon"
The federal government is working
out an experiment with these modern
Menominees by trying to develop them
through the tribal, that is, the COM
munal, land holding system, now rar-
tty in most countries. Among most
American Indian tribes communal land
holding has been abolished through
acts Of congress alloting the lands.
War Veterans in Tribe.
The work among the Menominees is
under the direction of Superintendent
Edgar A. Allen of Keshena. The reser-
walton In northeastern Wisconsin COW
ers an area approximately Is by "a
miles and has population of about
1900 Indians, whose communal hold
ings total 231, 900 acres, a large portion
Of 1t in timber.
Superintendent Aliens days are full
of variety. One opened recently with
a request by an Indian for carriage
harness.
"YOu do, not need "a carriage har-
ness" replied Mr.. Allen. You are op-
Grating farm and am not going to
give you a requisition for something
to take you away from it."
"But I can't farm without har-
ness"
.You can have q harness, but you
cannot use q carriage harness for
pl0wing."
Later Mr.. Allen led a Decoration day
parade. The Menominees still have
nine living Civil war veterans and 20
volunteer veterans of the great war,
Later Ia the saIne week Mr.. Allen
took George vaux Of Philadelphia, one
OF the Indian commissioners, to inspect
the farm Of Menominee who has put
100 acres under cultivation, and has
more than a dozen men working for
him. including q few whites. This

ment. because when the lands are al.
loted there Is no assurance that an
Indian will receive that which he has
developed, or even as much. This
communal system furnished a fund to
help support those members Of the
trihe who are helpless, or so unskillfuI
as to be unable to support themselves.

According to Professor Ragsdale,
the modern crook is an educated man,
quite the equal Of university profess
sor. He now matches his wits against
those of the police. His is highly
organized and learned profession.
If the guardians of the law and pub
lie safety are to keep abreast OF the
times, they must learn to cope with
the scientific crook and to outwit him.
Professor Ragsdale, who formerly
was a teacher of English, has made
lifelong study of his favorite subject.
He has studied the criminal at first

'"lhe average student who hasn't

true story. Not only are tramps full OF
suspicion and prejudices, and likely
either to exaggerate or to keep still
If they suspect their questioner, out
they have slang of ,.leir own.
AFor example, man who works
with a shovel is known in the fra
ternity of working stiffs' as muck
err; the man who drives team is a
skinner; one who tramps ties on the
railroad is a 'gandy-dancer.'
I'm the winter the tramps flock to
the big cities. They manage in some
cases to make $50 last q long while,
for they know where they can get
three Noughnuts and cup of coffee
for 5 cents and lodging for 10 cents. II
