The famous Hippodrome has given it's last show. The giant New York playhouse has been purchased by a realty corporation with the definite purpose of erecting a commercial structure. Land values are too great in that vicinity for a business that runs only eight months in the year to be profitable. More than s0,G00,- 900 people have passed through Its doors and it was considered the na- tional playhouse. It had the largest auditorium, the highest, widest and deepest stage of any theatre in the world.

A system of adapting criminal fines

to the income of the offender, as well as to the seriousness of the crime, s a unique provision in the proposed revision of Sweden's criminal statutes which has been recommended by the Criminal Law Commission. Under the present system the fines are fix ed within the narrow limits which Tn no way serves as a deterrent to the wealthy man. while to the poor man it often becomes a punishment out of all proportion to the seriousness Of the crime.
