that the Warwick Athletic Club will

Says 10000 Murders
Yearly Nations Toll

New York.-Ten thousand victims
each year are the murder toll in the
United States, according, to a concur
sion drawn by the Spectator, an insur-
ance journal, from homicide statistics
1t has compiled from IS leading Ameri-
can cities for the year 1922 The statis-
tics show that nine out of every 100,-
600 inhabitants of those cities were
killed by the violence of others.
The magazine says that this is de
crease of only three-tenths Of / per
cent from last year, and adds:
1.-THE record since 1900 reflects an
attitude of lawlessness and Indifference
to human life without parallel in the
history of civilized mankind.
Memphis has the highest murder rate
GA per 100000, New York has only
SO.
The second highest murder rate is
reported from Nashville, with New
Orleans third; St Louis, fourth, and
Cincinnati fifth. The lowest murder
rate was found in Spokane, WASH, be-
ing only ! per 100000.

Weekend Gardens Are
Boon to Stockholm

Stockholm.-The regular weekend
exodus of 1900 industrial workers
armed with garden tools is one of the
unique signs of spring now appearing
In the Swedish capital.
Every one Of these amateur garden
ers has his own colony lot" In the
large cooperative garden colonies sit
uated in what appears to be country,
though actually within the city limits.
Here he grows his own flowers and
vegetables, and finds a retreat from
the factories and city streets.
The 1000 colonists are grouped into
so different garden sections in the out
skirts of the city, and the administra-
tive work is In the hands of co-opera-
tive garden societies.
The plots of ground worked by in
divlduals vary in size from 1900 to
$500 square feet, and the rentals
range from $3.50 to $500 for the sea-
son. Greens, vegetables, strawberries
and various other garden products are
raised, enough to supply the workers
own table and to yield him a small
profit besides.

Soviet Dupes Refugees
With Czarist Money

Prague.-Russians in Prague and
various other centers where the refu-

gathered in large numbers, have dis
covered that the soviet government vic
timized them cleverly by loading them
down with alleged czarist money.
which really was printed by the Boil
shevists.
Russians outside of Russia believed
for long time that the Russian money
of the old regime was much more valu-
able than Bolsheyist paper money and
would some day be redeemed. Conse-
quently there was considerable demand
in European money exchanges for the
old-time Russian money, and it brought
better prices than Red rubles.
As the Bolshevist government had a
large quantity of the water-marked pa
per used in the old money, and had the
plates for bills of large denominations,
It started its money presses and sup
piled the demand for czarist bills. They
cont lued this practice until last Janu-
ary when the water-marked paper was
exhausted.
