LAWESS

/: France, with a population of 49,
600 900 people, in 1919 had 121 rob-
berries. New York City, with 6,OO0,-
1000 people, had 1,427 robberies.
In 1922 London had II murders.
every one of which was punished. In
the same year New York had 260
and Chicago 1877 murders. Many Of
the murderers escaped, some not even
being tried.
In all England and Wales in 1921
there were Sc murders. In the United
States there were 1850.
These are a few of the startling
facts brought forward to the law
respecting majority of the United
States by a report of the crime COM
mittee of the American bar associa-
ton, now in session in Minneapolis.
BY figures so Overwhelmingly as to
tbe unansWerable the report proves
that this country is the most lawless
OF, any in the world that calls itseh
civilized And it is the contention of
the lawyers who made the invesiga-
ton that justice in his country is al
SO the sloWest and most uncertain in
the civilized world. Our courts, says
the report, lack celebrity, certainty,
and finality. The law is net work
Of loopholes through which criminals
may escape and its enforcement is
dilatory and haphazard.
Tt is a grave indictment, yet it is
one which every citizen of the ayel
age community knows is warranted
The remedy? The lawyers say, first
there must be uniform criminal pro.
cedure everywhere a standard code If
criminal law. Second, there must be
q change Of attitude on the part or
citizens. Apathy and indifference to-
'warffd crimes of violence must be
curbed.
Probably the second is the moro
important, as it is the hardest to
achieve. Most of us deplore the in
creasing criminality of the country
but that's about all we care to do.
Any courts customary array of ven
iremen pleading any and every excuse
to escape jury service shows the
state of affairs which needs correc-
ton State Journal.

SEPTEMBER'S TORCH

Autumn begins already to set the
hardwoods of the north alight. They
say UP there that 1t will be an early
fall Go there if you can this week or
next, or even the week after, to
witness an inspiration NJ poet can
ever sing, a divine coloring no brush
can linn. But IL you cannot iourne"
so far, at least go inland for colors
will be brighter a score Of miles
away from the big lake.
Find a forest where nature has
been prodigal of varieties. The border
of little tree girl lake becomes in
mid-September a diadem of beauty.
Hard maple and red maple and scai,
let oak return in the suns rays al
the glowing colors from orange
through flame and lake to crimson,
while birches lend a golden hue.
Above and behind dark spires OF
spruce and hemlock or lighter pines,
pick out their contrast, often with a
fringe of softer tamracks, while scar
let highbrush cranberries trim the
waters edge. The light breeze flut-
ters down scarlet flecks and late birds
fly hither and yon, feeling in all tins
flaming beauty the call to leave.
Find such a scene when the morn
ing rays set it aight, watch it through
a golden noon; above all return when
sunset sends it's level rays of Grim
son. Fill your eyes with it, and your
memory. For here is grandeur and
beauty, the like of which nor king
nor emperor can ommand-summer' S
last burst of magnificent defiance,
more glorious than all the serene
grandeur of July.-Milwaukee Journal.

MILADY At THE WHEEL

Mere man has been found entirely

ladies who made long tours this sum-

trans sentimental tours say they
got along "just fine" The police were

women drivers and the garage men,
they found, would do a lot for a
smile and word of praise
Why take man along to attend t.
the technique of the car? asks milady
at the wheel. A neatly fitted sports
suit and an array of gay sweaters
will do the trick. If something goes
wrong she puts on her best smile
and waits the arrival of man driv-
er. When he comes up she halls him
with an expression which registers,
"You are SO big and strong and !
am so dumb and weak. I know you
will do just the right thing" And
the mere man pulls off his coat and
goes to work. He is more than glad
to be of service.
The ladies, bless EN-, are the true
progressives. They are always finding

THEATRES



Ever since Mother Eve imbedded
her pearly teeth in the tabled APP
pie humanity has pondered from
time to time the age-old problemi
whats Wrong With the Women7"
Now comes a motion picture that
sets for itself the same eternal ques-
ton and comes pretty close to an
swering tat least 80 far as the
present high-powered, helter-skelter,
flapperescent generator of women is
concerned.
It is called whats Wrong With
the Women7" was produced in
powerfully dramatic sequences by
Daniel Carson Goodman and 1t thrill-
ed and entertained a big audience at
the Strand Theatre where 1t was
shown for the first time yesterday.
It's an Equity Picture.
Mr.. Goodman with the facility and
understanding of the master story
teller, wastes no time In getting into
the core of his subject. With bold
and powerful strokes he rips aside
the curtains that hide the whims,
the foibles and weaknesses of that
dynamo Of ever-changing emotions
the Modern Woman. 1t is In no
sense an attack on womanhood. It
is in no n preachy although in It's
big treatment may be found a SER
mon that will shatter deceit and ex-
travagance and weld closer together
the bonds of love and human SYM
pathy.
The story, which was written by
Mr.. GooS~1an, is q straightforward
narrative dealing with the lives of
a smart group OF men and women in
the gilded strata of big town society.
Women and men, too, plunge into
the maelstrom of life u~nrestrained.
Extravaganza, folly, broken hearts
and twisted souls. It won't do to
reveal the plot.

Women S Ire Stirred,
Things Begin to Happen
At the Manson School

IRW1NTON, Ga, Oct. 25.-Recent
occurrences at the Manson school
demonstrate the fact that when the
women get stirred up things begin
to move. >
The state supervisors were daily
expected to visit this school; money
had been made with which to stand
ardize the school; the paint and 9TH
ef material had been purchased-but
the men folks could not find time to
stop their work and do that needed
at the school.
The unofficial women's club Of the
school, consisting Of Mrs. A, n.
Burke, Mrs. Allen Davidson and
Mrs: Alfred Rytes held an indiga-
ton meeting at the schoolhouse. BY
unanimous consent they vowed that
they themselves \ would paint the
schoolhouse and do all the other
work. About this time, Mrs, Emmet
Yarbrough arrived on the scene, and
as she had to see after her hus-
bands store and could not. take part
in the work at the schoolhouse, she
offered to turn the store into a
nursery and take charge of all the
small offspring Of the aforesaid I'M
official women's club-rather numer-
GUS. This solved the greatest prob
lem, and now they were ready to
begin active operations.
However, before they could get
their sleeves rolled up and the paint
mixed the men folks had learned of
their plans, and announced that
they would do the work. Now the
Manson school has one of the pref,
TEST and best arranged school plants
in the rural sections of Georgia.
