March, in 1923. The figures are
exclusive of still births.
Death Rate Lower
The death rate, according to the
department of commerce, is lower for
the first quarter of 1924 than in
1928. For the first three months
of 1924 the average adjusted death
rate per 1000 people was 1875 as
compared with Is for the first three
months of 1923. Owing to differ
ences in the sex and age distribution
of the population, the crude death
rates of states are not always COM
parable. Therefore, for purposes of
comparison it is necessary, according
to the announcement, to use adjusted
rates based on what is known as the
standard million population. If the
ratios of the crude rates to the ad-
justed rates for 1920 be applied to
the 1924 quarterly rates, the high
est adjusted death rate for the first
quarter of 1924 is that shown for
Florida, 1876, and the lowest, that
for Montana, 8.3. Twenty-four|
thousand nine hundred and twenty
two more deaths occurred in 1923
than in the first quarter Of 1924. In
first quarter of 1924 there were
deaths in the United States
and in 1928 there were 177,721.
In the first three months of this
year 1906 people-392 in January,
1873 in February and 381 in March,
died in Montana, as compared to
,444-478 in January, 474 in Feb
'uary and 492 in March, in the first
quarter Of 1923. For the first
quarter of 1924 the crude average
Heath rates for deaths per 1000
was TT, as compared with an
lverage rate Of 90 in 1923. The
adjusted death rate for the entire
ear of 1923 was SO, as compared
With an average OF 8.3 for the first
of 1924.

By Martha Edgerton Plassmann

A FTER leaving the Mort
~ branch of the Platte river
in 1868, we decided not t
follow the regular route, but t
take what was known as Lander
Cutoff, which, as its name indi
Gated, promised to shorten on
Journey.
This road lead us northwest to
ward the Wind River mountains
and into what we later realized wa:
a dangerous Indian country, al
though we saw no Indians until We
reached the Snake river, except {
dead one laid out in state on the
lower branches of a pine tree, in a
lonely mountain canyon.
Because we saw no Indians, &C
cording to Jim Bridger, is pretty
lgood proof that they were all about
US. Ignorance of this fact contrib
uted greatly to our peace of mind,
and we never dreamed of being at
tackled after we entererd the noun
tains. According to my recollec-
ton, we ceased having a guard at
night, as we no longer feared the
cattle would stampede. AS an IL
l~ustration of Our carelessness, a
large bear visited our camp one
night, passing close to a couple of
men who were asleep on the ground
under a wagon; this they discov-
cred from the tracks on awakening
in the morning, and congratulated
themselves on what they thought
was a narrow escape.
The Lander road, not having SO
much travel as the main route, was
quite rough. Sometimes it follow
ed the rocky bed of a stream ;
sometimes it chung to a mountain
side at such an angle that it was
necessary to stand on the hubs of
the wheels on the uphill side, to pre-
vent the wagons from being over
turned, and now and then we
reached the top of a foothill to find
the descent SO precipitous that sew
eral yoke of oxen we're hitched to
rear of the wagons to ease their
down.
Although the road was rugged,
he scenery along the way repaid
is for all we had to undergo. 1t
vas magnificent especially in the
Jicinity of Fremont's Peak. Pas-
-urage and water were generally
10Th good, and the days, as we'll as
he nights were cool; a welcome
from the heat we exper-
enced along the Platte.
Occasionally we camped by an al
ali stream. Then as a precaution- i
measure, the oxen were tied to
he wagons, and not permitted to
at or drink. The morning after i;

If you have not already solved the puzzle from this,

1T IS THE LANDOWNER WHO Is MADE RICH by an

pay OUT by putting MORE money into the enterprise: to

THE THIRD DEGREE

Much has been published con
corning the Chicago police activi-
ties in the Franks murder case.
The police We're guardians OF the
public safety hunting down the
perpetrators Of an unSpeakable
crime and as such their efforts
were regarded with widespread
sympathy and applauded when they
finally apprehended the guilty
youths. But the fact that the Chi
cago police in working on the case
themselves committed grave Of
Tense against decency and the law
has been all but overlooked.
Mott Mitchell and Walter Will
son, the instructors OF Robert
Franks who were held for a time
as suspects in the case, charge that
they were brutally beaten by the
police in efforts to force from them
confessions of completely in the
crime of which they were innocent.
If these are true. and the men
bear bruises on their bodies to in
dictate that they are, the Franks
murder case has furnished another
example of perversion. First there
was the perversion of character
revealed in the arrest OF the STAY
ers. Now the instructors have dis
closed perversion of police
methods wholly contemplate ana
degraded Possibly if these two
ruen had been Chicago ward heel
ers in good standing or gamblers
or dive keepers secure in the high
esteem of the police, and not mere
ly educators on the staff of the
Harvard school, they would have
escaped the pounding given them
Such tbarbarities as this have tend
ed to destroy public confidence in
the police. The theory behind
them apparently is that when a
crime attracts public attention
somebody must be punished
whether it be the guilty one or not
In the Franks case, had the in
structors weakened before the tor
ture and confessed, the methods
would have been used to perpetratt
a terrible injustice. Chicago po'
lice themselves have demonstrated
the evils of the third degree.-St
Paul Pioneer Press.

GEORGE HARVEY GETS BUSY

George Harvey's first editorial
utterance upon his return to poll
teal Journalism is an old-fashiOn-
ed broadside directed in the main
at Henry Cabot Lodge for an over
meticulous handling of the cele-
brated Hanihara protest.
1t is Harvey's contention that
Lodges unliberal Interpretation Of
the document and his failure to
seek automatically and privately
a rewording of it's antiquities by
the Japanese ambassador are pri-
marily responsible for the ensuing
train of unhappy events. And it is
Harvey's further conclusion that
Lodges course was not dictated by
the senator's own sense of outrage
at Hanihara's seeming brashness,
but by a very definite and sinister
inclination to place the White
House and the administration in an
embarrassing position.
Whether this analysis is correct
or not, there is decided tendency
in Massachusetts, no less than in
other quarters, to accuse Lodge OF
this same desire and will to defeat
the President.-DetrOit News.

PRESS AND PEACE

Viscount kaneko paid a fine tri-
butte to the American press in his
address at the farewell dinner In
Toxic in honor of the retiring
American Amba ssador when he de-
clared that in P2 years of obser-
walton he has never known the
press of the United States to show
such consideration for any foreign
country as it has shown Japan IN
the present crisis.
This attitude of the press is or
the utmost value to peace, in that
it shows that the American people
whose opinion it reflects are not
in sympathy with the politicians re-
sponsIble for. an offensive action
and bad faith. 1t lis important
too, as an answer to- the critics OF
the press who ascribe international
difficulties to the bellicosity AM
responsibility of the newspapers
At this juncture a war could be
made inevitable, were the newspa'
pers of America and Japan to as,
sumo a belligerent tone. The press
of the two countries is keeping the
peace that was threatened by the
unnecessary offensiveness of con
gress. -New York Evening Mail.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The next night when Johnny
Jump Up took the Twins to the
magic garden, the titmouse was
waiting.
LET me see your tickets to
France" he demanded. Are they
pink? ?"
"Pink with a blue stripe across
and the date in yellow" said Johnny
Jump Up. "They are the very lat
est style, for the pansy fairy brought
them to us from France herself"
"All right then, I'll punch them,"
said the titmouse. Hop on, every
body.
So Johnny Jump Up and Nancy
and Nick. jumped on his little brown
back, and giving his little black con-
dhctor's cap hard pat so it wouldn't
come off, the titmouse flew away to
France.
"Goodby!" called the-man-in-the-
moon.
"Goodby!" called the glow-worms
and lightning bugs and beetles and
crickets and grasshoppers. Good
by!"
The ocean would take you and me

and Johnny Jump Up only whisk
