A. Cuvillier of the New York Leg
islature, "has caused more MUIR
ders in New York City by reason
Of the fact that a. highwayman or
burglar well knows when he goes
into a dwelling or a store, or en-
cages in a hold-up or stick-up.
that his victim is unarmed."
Much can be done by the courts
and the criminal authorities.
There is too much delay in hand
ling criminal cases. There Is too
much leniency shown by some OF
the courts. There is too much
coddling of criminals when, and II,
they finally do reach prison.
In nine cases out of ten, under.
the misguided system now in vo-
que in many Of the States, the
criminal lives far better in prison
than he does outside and this IL
especially true OF murderers,
whether they finally go to the
chair or not.
All Of this should be stopped.
When a murderer is arrested, he
should be brought to trial with
the least delay consistent with abb
solute Justice. Under the English
system, once a murderer is brought
to trial, and that is as promptly
as possible, no technicalities are
permitted to interfere with the
rapid procedure Of the trial and
the execution Of the sentence.
Prompt and drastic administra-
ton Of Justice will reduce murders
to q minimum. Nothing will abb
solutely prevent them and certain
ly additional laws prohibiting this
or that weapon will have no eff
feet whatever. A murderer is one
to whom law means nothing. De-
prive him Of one means and he
will use another. Make his pun
ishment swift and hard and the
next in line will think twice be-
fore he yields to the homicidal inn
pulse. In nine cases out of ten,
that second thought will prevent
him from becoming a murderer.
Milford chronicle., 1923-01-05


For, despite the assertion Of the
American Bar Association that 30
per cent Of the homicides in this
country are committed with a pis-
tol OF revolver, other means Of
dealing death are employed fire.
Quently enough to cause remark
and a consideration Of possible
means Of curbing the murder inn
pulse.
AS a matter Of fact, while the
revolver is the most convenient
weapon to carry and, when hand
led by the expert, is the surest In
its results, the average crook
would prefer almost any other
kind of weapon. The revolver, 1t
must be remembered, is noisy and
1t is the crooks ambition to con-
duct whatever business he has in
hand, in a manner calculated to
attract as little attention as pos
sible. He always carries a gun
and he will use it II he has to,
but he just naturally hates TO
create a disturbance.
To that end, he v i'll, whenever
possible, use any of the so-called
'blunt instruments, which range
all the way from q blackjack TO
an ordinary household hammer.
Or, If he is engaged in a little job
of burglary, a Whit or two OF
chlorofCrm properly applied, will
answer his purpose admirably. 1t
should be understood that the
burglar, the bank robber or the
stick-up man does not start out
with the intention Of committing
murder. He will kill II he has to,
preferring that to certain arrest,
but he avoids 1t If possible on ac-
count Of the unpleasant results
that generally follow II he is
eventually caught.
If, on the other hand, the mat
ter is a personal one, involving
those in his own circle Of 3 ciety,
whose removal may seem desirable
or xpedient, the crook will use a
gun when there is no time to seek
other and quieter means. In cas-
es where the aggrieved party has
opportunity for planning, a brick
dropped with a reasonable degree
IF accuracy from a roof, or a
Leavy bottle, applied with force to
the back of the victims skull, have
brought eminently satisfactory re-
;u.ts without causing the spotlight

Mustered out at 70.

Three score years and ten! 1t is the
scriptural statute of limitations. After
that you owe no active duties; for

MAPPING THE EUROPEAN SKY
Work Of Photographers, II 10 Believed.
Will Be Productive Of Highly
Important Rssui.s

An ambitious scheme 10 map the en-
tire sky of Europe is being carried out
under the direction OF the British
weather bureau. The bureau, as a
preliminary to the larger undertaking.
has already successfully mapped the
sky OF France. Professional weather
observers, as well as amateur photog-
raphers, In all parts OF the continent
are 10 be asked 20 assist. The work
Is intended TO help the science OF
meteoroiogy. the progress OF which In
recent years has been due In no little
measure to the synoptic cards ON which
are reported simultaneous observations
made at different stations. II Is
thought that even more important re-
suits and much more useful data will
be obtained from synoptlc photographs
OF the sky. The photographers win be
asked to cooperate on lines much the
same as were adopted In mapping the
sky OF France. an undertaking that
wns completed month ago. and the
results OF which are now being ana
lyzed. Exposures will be made daily,
probably over period OF week or
two, twice u day. once at o'clock In
the morning and again In the after.
noon, The photographs viii be sent
30 the national weather bureau, where
the causes Of the weather conditions at
the time Will be retraced from them.

The bouquet OF wine is one Of the
Few odors which are appreciated by
almost every one. Others are the
smells of new-mown grass. coffee,
spices. bacon. hot buttered toast, sea
weed and. OF course. most perfumes
and all fruits and flowers.
Kings and beggars alike have com
mented on the ecstasy TO be obtained
from the odors OF cooking Curiously
enough. this Is largely due TO the fact
that smelling and tasting overlap"
The taste" OF tobacco is often due
10 sight rather than either taste or
smell. There Is not half the enjoy

usually prefer stronger tobacco than
those who can watch the curling
smoke. Some use tobacco strongly
scented.
Incredible as II mhy seem, there are
people, too, who cannot even dstln-
gulsh between tea and coffee when
their eyes are shut.
Tastes differ because the pleasures
derived from smells differ In almost
