TALES ON CRIME
+. Emory Lyon Says Organization
Aids All Criminals.

Asserting that the crime problem is
one in which every citizen should be
vitality interested, not only because
more than 10 per cent Of all the tax
PAYERS maaoy goes toward the sup
port of the penal system. but because
of its humane aspects as well. +.
Emory Lyon. founder and superintcnd-
cnt of tEc Central Howard Associa-
ton, made an appeal for better jIils
and better treatment of prisoners al
ter their release from penal inStitu-
tions. in an address Friday before the
KiwaniS Club at the Gunter Hotel.
Mr.. Iron has made thorough
study Of crime. its causes and pre-
ventives. and probably has interviewed
more criminals than any other man
in the country.
Discussing the aims and purposes
of the organization which he repre-
scntS. Mr.. Lyon said
Our motto is a Friend in Need
Is a Friend Indeed The association
is named after John Howard. father
of modern prison improvement. He
was sheriff OF Bedford in 1913. and
his epitaph reads: He trod a glori-
Gus but unfrcquented path to immor-
talty.'
"Our field is the Central Western
states. including Illinois. Indiana,
Kentucky. Ohio. Michigan. Wiscon-
sin. Minnesota and Iowa. We also
desire to aid individual prisoners any
where. and promote the cause Of prs
on improvement everywhere.
Our method is individual rather
than collective and we act as first
friend to paroled men. and serve as
mediator between the public and
the man who has gone wrong but who
wants to get right. Practical en-
nlovmcnt is secured, also working
tools. clothing, shelter. food and new
found friends.
"Our aims for the future may be
summed as follows: To secure mod
crn. wholesome county iaIls; to real
lie more efficient action in the
courts: to establish the principle nf
reformation in correctional inStitu-
tons: to work for the prevention Of
crime nv better supervision of Offend
ers while on probation and parole.
Individual citizens may help in

He was born forty-three years ago
in Anhwei, eastern China. His fam

to shift for himself. When he was
seventeen he enlisted in the army.
Whenever he could" says one of
the workers from China, "Feng made
trouble for the missionaries. But In
1900 he changed his view. He saw
the Boxers do their deadly work. He
saw a woman come out and offer to
die for her friends.
"A few years later a Christian
doctor cured him, without charge, of
a bad ulcer after he had been fleeced
BY native doctors. Then in 1912 he
attended IN evangelistic meeting and

Sunny Spain in its natural beauty,

plcturized in the Paramount pic
ture The Spanish Jade" which
opened to a rather enthusiastic al-
dience at the Majestic theatre last
evening. Not a little OF the charm
of the picture lies in the fact that
It was actually filmed in Spiau,
John s. Robertson the director hav-
ing taken the entire company there
from the London studios.
The story is one fashioned some
what along the lines of adventures
of the famous Don Q%uixote. A young
girl having been sold by her dis
solute father to a, rich roue, fees
n in her flight is aided by a
young ~adventurer with a big heart
but n slender purse. A young Amer
lean also assists her and in a fight
the rich roue is killed. The Amer
lean is accused and the girl to save
hlr' offers to sacrifice her own life.
How she is prevented from doing
this and the manner in which the
romance is brought to a happy
ending make a picture that Is dis
tinctly worthwhile.
David Powell is exceptionally well
cast as the young a%dventurer, while
Charles de Rochfort and Marc
MacDermott as the roue and his
father respectively give clever per-
formances. Miss Evelyn Brent, a
comparative newcomer to the screen
of this country. is winsemely beau
titul as the young girl Manuela.
Another well known member of ths
asst is Harry Ham who plays the
young American. The photography
and natural settings of the picture
call for especial mention. while the
direction and acting of the cast are
uniformly excellent. .
