HOSPITAL FOR INSANE
Ask That UnfOrtunates BE Not Con
fined In JailS.

A bill prepared and fostered by the
Texas State Conference, Council OF
Jewish Women to amend the state law
so that persons held by county authori-
ties for examination as to sanity shall
be confined in a hospital and not in
iail was introduced into. the lower
House at Austin by Representative
Guy LeSturogcon of Bexar county.
The bill was referred TO the judiciary
committee. The bill was planned more
than n year ago and was written by
former State Senator Harry Hertz
berg.
The bill provides that where there
is a county or city hospital in the
county in which the person is held
pending examination, that thep risOner
must be kept in a hospital.
The idea for such a bill originated
in San Antonio when woman wsS
found in the city Jail pending a trial
for lunaCy. 1t is the opinion Of the
proponents Of the bill that the as
socistions OF the Jail are not conducive
to recovery.
Miss Hannah Hirschberg, president
Of the state conference, has written
10 State Senator BidGeway asking that
he assist in passing the bill through
] the upper House.

EDUCATED WIVES

The president of one Of the large cast
ern colleges for women located in Ohio is
authority for the statement that 20 per
cent of the women who have graduated
from that institution have chosen home
making for their profession. In spite OF
the large number OF openings in protes-
sions and business. 20 per cent have mar
ried shortly after leaving college, he de-
clares
This is new and rcassuring statement
on the much mooted question OF whether
college education units the average wont
an for the rather humdrum existence OF
making a home. And it is conclusive evil
dence. too, that there is no Just ground
for the assertion that the college gradu-
ate does not marry but prefers to spend
at least the major part OF her life IN pro-
fessional or business work. 1t is appar-
ent theoretically at least, that just be-
cause a woman has college education IS
no reason why she would not marry and
create a home. In fact, she should be
able TO make a wiser selection in choosing
husband and to create better and
more efficient home by reason OF higher
education Her children, likewise, should
find an educated mother source OF adj
vancement and education for themselves.
The world is gradually getting away
from the idea that just because woman
obtains a college education she is un-
fitted mentally for the duties OF the home.
Women are rapidly demonstrating that
with college educations they are not only
better wives and mothers, housekeepers
and cooks, but that they can be won
derful force for educational advancement
and general moral uplift in their COM
munity.
The average woman's college OF today,
likewise, has improved in that it no longer
emphasizes the purely educational fea-
lures as destructive Of all domestic in
stincts. There is no more reason why a
mother should be less a mother simply
because she has been well-educated than
that an iliterate and ignorant woman
should be a model mother because OF her
lack of education.
Hence, the statement OF the Ohio col
1ege president that 10 per cent of the COL
lege graduates from his school married
and created homes, is not deserving Of
the wide publicity given it. Why should
these educated women do otherwise?
And what indeed, is remarkable in the
discovery by these educated women that
woman's highest calling is in the home?
This is real education working towards a
, real end and if more colleges for the edu-
cation of the gentler sex could indicate
similar results, higher education for girls

1T IS TRUE

The other day, San Antonio policemen
arrested several young men scarcely old
enough TO vote and charged them with 4
series OF bold and profitable robberieS
which they arc said to have admitted.
These youths, scarcely out OF their teens,
calmly related to the police how they had
robbed one store after another, hauled
their loot through the city in motor cars
at night and sold much OF it to dealers.
Then one young fellow remarked by
way OF extenuation:
Anyway, crime is not looked upon as
the disgrace it was years ago" He told
the truth. Unconsciously, this young
robber in the tolls OF the law, gave utter
ance to basic fact which probably ac-
counts for nine-tenths OF all the crime and
general wrong-doing OF today. Crime no
longer is a disgrace. Various agencies
have served to spread over it, the glamOr
of adventure and romance. From the
moving picture to the popular literature in
often is CLOSED over, sugar-cOated to hide
the nasty mess it contains.
Gone too, very largely, is the old
fashioned ideal of honor and honesty.
For it we have substituted a desire for
easy living, love for the things that
money will buy, distaste for honest labor
and life OF simple requirements and
homely virtues. 1t is not surprising that
80 per cent of the crime of today is COM
mitted by young men and young women,
scarcely entering upon life's serious jour
No. 4 ~ +I,n,,, ri +b
deviationS from the straight and narrow
path with serious mind. Far from it.
They look upon such things as mere Incl
dents. Time was when the summoning OF
youth to a police station even on faint
suspicion of wrong doing was an event
so grave as to upset the entire commune
ty in which he lived.
Young men, too, who are driving about
the city all night in motor cars hauling
loot are not at work at honest employ
ment during the day Mostly they are in
bed, at least until noon. A great many
of them are in bed at home too, rising at
noon to demand that mother cook them 4
breakfast. 1t would be interesting to
know how many fathers and mothers OF
sons and daughters are permitting their
children to remain in bed until 9, 10,
II or y o'clock. OF equal interest would
be the data on the modern fathers and
mothers who do not know where sons and
daughters are at night, what time they
get in, whom they spend their time with
and where they go.
What has become OF the kindly but firm
father of yesterday who insisted that his
sons arise early, assist with the chores
about the place, report at school on time,
get in at night before dark and remain
at home unless he knew exactly where
they were going and when they would
get back?
What has become of the mother who
brought up her daughters to assume a
part of the household burden, TO help
in the kitchen, to scrub and sweep, and
dust and cook?
Crime is just as much disgrace as il
lever was and even more so. The Ameri-
can people are spending millions and mil
lions OF dollars per annum to provide
the greatest educational Institutions and

The Once Over
by II. 1. Phillips.
1928 AUTO SHOW MODELS SWEEP
OF THEIR FEEL.

The twenty-third annual automobile
| show Of the National Automobile IMAM
| Der of Commerce is on in New YORK
| Pedestrians are flOCking TO it from al
| sides to see what kind of cars they arc
to be struck by during the. coming
| spring and summer.
Citizens who have given the 1922
models careful inspection are unanimous
in the opinion that no person with an
eve for beauty could object TO beng
run over by any part at this year
show.
In fact. nearly every one agrees some
of the new models are 80 wonderful
ut would be positive pleasure 10 be
knocked for row of collapsiblc garages
by them.
More cars will be sold at this show,
the exhibitors insist, than at any show
in history. This assures the Walking
Glasses the livelicSt and most exciting
year they have ever known. 1t looks
like a wonderful year in the running
and jumping events.
Gay colors predominant on the 1923
car bodies. For the last few years
blues. grays and blacks have been the
prevailing cOlors, and it has been very
difficult for n man to get run down
by any other hue, but from now on il
will be simple matter for anybody to
get hit by brilliant reds, yellOws, pur-
pies. and greens. A person tires of the
same color tones in all his accidents.
Reds seem dominant this year. This
is always a pleasing color. and it af-
fOrds so much contrast that, no matter
what colOred clothes a pedestrian may
be wearing when struck, he looks well
wedged between the tenders and the
hood.
There is certain distinction about
most of the 1923 models. They have
more class. No discriminating person
could fail to appreciate at once that it,
would improve his position in the COM
munity 10 be struck under any circum-
stances by such zippy models.
1t would seem almost worth while
to step into the street and get hit by
such an auto just for the satisfaction
of having the machine stop and come
back for ones name and address.
Another striking feature Of the show
is the amount of extras" put on most
of the new cars. There arc rear trunks,
dOuble-bar bumpers, automatic wind
shield wipers. cigar lighters, vanity
cases, etc. Some of the racing models
have little blackboards over the dash so
the driver may check up his hits and
misses and total up his daily accident
score.
Disk wheels are quite the rage.
SBokes, it seems. are becoming more
and more unpopular. Too many victims
get away by crawling out between them
after they're hit.
The disk wheel makes this impossible.
Once a person is under car he has TO
stay there until the car has passed.

SAVING THE GAME

Word comes from Brownsville that the
Mexican government has prohibited the
hunting of game in Tamaulipas and that
the rule is to be strictly enforced. As a
result, it is said the lakes and swampy
lands are full OF ducks and geese and that
other game is multiplying rapidly.
For many years, Northern Mexico has
been the hunters paradise 1t is the best
hunting ground, probably, on the western
hemisphere all things considered. 1t is,
however, high time that the MeXicans PITT
limitations upon the slaughter OF game
there, because in a few years Northern
Mexico would be shorn OF wild fowl and
wild animals.
There arc two kinds OF hunters. One is
the sportsman who kills only such game
as he can utilize. The other is the mar
ket hunter who slaughtcrs game, often
for pittancc. He's near kin to tile fellow
who shoots at anything and everything
Just to hear the gun go off and to sec the
feathers fly.
The destruction of game and the eX-
tinction OF many kinds OF birds and ami
mails in the United States is one of the
tragic features of the last so years. Even
today, with various state regulations,
birds and animals arc being killed off far
more rapidly than they can multiply. AS
their wild retreats decrease, as their food
supply becomes scantier. as they are hunt
ed Oftencr, as their nesting places are dc"
stroyed by the advance of development,
wild birds and wild animals decrease.
The high-powercd gun, the automatic
action and the motor car have done more
than all else to wipe out game. With the
motor car, distances are reduced so that
former safe retreats are now within an
hours ride Of the railroad. With the au-
tomato gun and the high-powered rifle,
game seldom has a sporting chance. In
stead of 4 single shot to match his skill
against the wings or legs OF the fleeing
game, the hunter can at will, ill the air
full of birdshot or rifle balls. He can fire
a veritablc volley, akin to machine-gun
fire in war. He has five, or six, or seven,
or eight, or nine, or ten shots at his COM
mand

for the hunter who had no regard for
sportmarship and no concern for the
preservation of the wild life OF America.
If the present tendency to kill wild fowl
continues, the next generation of Ameri-
cans will have to do its shooting entirely
at clay pigeons. The settlement of North
America was largely made possible by
the bountitul supply OF game. The pio-
nccrs lived off the country while getting
foothold and tilling the lands. Today
practically all that wild life is extinct
Much of it naturally. had to go. 1t would
not have been possible for the great herds
of buffalo to wander at will through the
valleys and over the hills, now turned into
fertile farm lands. But there were count
less wild animals and wild birds that could
have been saved and should have been
saved. Their ruthless destruction is
something that cannot be excused. In
Mexico, much Of the wild life remains and
it is to be hoped that the Mexican gov
eminent will protect it to the limit
