RECORD BROKEN

$4,000 in March.

NfficIaIs at Washington Study the Data
In Effort to Determine Nature OF
the Country's Import
Business.

Washington, April 4.-Customs re-
lceipts for March, totaling So, 172, 900,
broke all records. The nearest previ-
GUS approach to this figure was in Sep
tember of last year when SOB, 10000
was paid in import duties.
Government officials concerned with
the nations trade as well as the reve-
nueS derived from the duties levied at
the customs houses, studied the March
receipts in an effort to analyze the ma
ture Of the country's import trade
Most of them believed it would be sew
eral weeks before they could deter
mine the full meaning Of the heavy
March imports because detailed fig
ures on the classifications of imports
are not yet available. All agreed, how
ever, that the March receipts showed
a definite trend upward in imports.
They were unable to say what partic-
ular American manufacturers were
most affected by the heavy shipment
unto this country from abroad.
Imports Reach $3,112,ooo 900.
American imports in 1922 had to-
tai value Of $3,112, 548,772, as COM
pared with $2,509, 147,57O in 1921. All
countries for which statistics are COM
piled by the Commerce department
sent more goods to this country during
1922 than in 1921, although the great
est increase proportionately was in
imports from Europe.
Together with the yearly totals, the
department also gave out the import
figures for December, showing total
of $293, 463,592, as compared with
$237, 495, sos for December, 1921.
Figures for 1922.

our college annual hit the nail on

a precious pearl in a social whirl,
and an all around man among men.
His big interest. of course, is in
the forensic field. Last year, al
though only Sophomore, he was
one of the star debaters on the
Carleton team which defeated Iowa.
Also Bill has taken part in several
oratorical contests while here, and
according TO Cne advanced uOpe ne

the Home Oratorical in May and
thus be College Orator for 1924.
He started his forensic work with a
bang by leading his Freshman de-
bate team to 80 decision over
their rival Sophomores in the an
nual Fresh-Soph debate two years
ago. AS a reward for his remark
able work in debate, Bill was last

OF human service. 1t has always seemed to
us that if any man deserved the alteration OF

There is far more truth than poetry in
the assertion Of Judge Vernin Gates of Roches-
ter. who in speaking about the increased
amount of juvenile crime, stated that the
father should be held responsible for the acts
of his son, when he is still under the fathers
care Under the present statute, the father
could be brought into court if the son mad
been twice accused of delinquency, but this he
did not think stringent enough. If boy
steals, hold the parent responsible and make
him pay for the goods stolen. If boy COM
mts murder, hold the parent as an accomplice
and give him couple of months in prison
to teach him responsibility. Sinking of daily
duties was given as the first sign of lack of
parental control. And right there is the sum
and substance of the whole trouble A lack
of early training in the home, soon leads to a
lack of control, and the boy or girl who is
following the rough road to destruction can
truthfully point to their parents as being re-
sponsible for their condition. Reformers are
trying to blame the movies, the dance halls
the pool rooms, the bootleggers and even the
schools for the evil conditions existing among
the young people, but they are wide from the
