 ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT
Harding Shows Interest in Efforts to Make Public Acquainted With
 Service

Chicago. April 13.-President Hard ing has indicated a lively interest in the efforts of hospitals Of the United States and Canada to make the pub lie better acquainted with their serv- ice and importance in their com munities. He has endorsed the edu- cational movement eliminating in theobseryance of National Hospital Day, May 12
 T most heartily extend my good wishes for the most useful results from your efforts" wrote Mir. Hard ing to Matthew o. Foley. Chicago. executive secretary Of the National Hospital Day committee. which has general direction of the international program. Tt Is especially a pleas ure to express my interest in the work of National Hospital Day, which seeks to arouse the largest possible public interest in the work of the country's hospitals and similar insti- tutions. You have. most properly chosen May l2, the anniversary. of the birth of Florence Nightingale, as National Hospital Day"
 "One of the finest and most hu- mane products of our civilization is the hospital" continues President Harding's endorsement, "and every activity which aims to assure it's ad- vantages to an increasing number of people deserves all possible encour- agement."
 F. s. Gilmore. superintendent, Wes- ley Memorial hospital, Chicago, gen. eral chairman of the National Hos pital Day committee, and Dr. M. T.

OFFENDERS INCOME
 MAY AFFECT FINES
Will Try Unique System i1
 Sweden if Plans Work Out

Stockholm, April Is.--An unusua, system of adapting criminal fines to the income Of the offender. as we'll as 10 the seriousness Of the crime. is one or the unique provisions in the pro- posed revision of Sweden's criminal statutes which has been recommended 70 the government by the criminal law commission,
 Attention often has ben called to Che unjust operation of fines fixed within narrow limits. To the wealthy man such fine in no way served as deterrent while to the poor man itoften became punishment out of all proportion to the seriousness of the crime.
 Will Have Equal Effect
 The principle of the proposed amendment. which will doubtless be accepted, Is that the punishment by fine for any given offense shall work with the same effectiveness upon per sons of various economic status. There are to be two bases for fixing the fine the novelty being that the amount is divided up into daily pay inents, instead of being Jumped in one sum. The degree of enormity of the crime is to be indicated by the num- Ter of days used as multiplier in the calculation. while the other fac tor ,the sum to be paid each day, will vary with the financial means of the offender. These amounts may vary from 25 cents to s25O a day. The number of days shall not be less than one nor more than ninety
 Another humanitarian principle in this provision is that the payments need not be made in unbroken suc- cession, though there must be at least ten daily payments month for any given conviction.
 Whenever failure to pay the fine ensues. the sentence may be com muted to imprisonment. though under the proposed amendment considera- tion will be given by the court to the question of whether such failure came through contempt. negligence, or was involuntary through unavoid- able financial difficulties.
 Another legal novelty in Sweden recommended by the criminal law commission is the treatment of those who have violated the law of the land in such way that the offense does not involve moral turpitude or per- sonal dishonor. Instead of being i'm i nrisoned or sentenced to penal servi- tude, such offenders shall simply be placed in detention or 'custodia hon. esta," the Swedish term for this punishment being arrest" The perl ods of arrest" may vary from three months to life. and the persons thus detained shall be cared for in insti- tttutions especially provided for them.
