% MURDERS TO-DAY
BY Albert Apple

Twenty eight Americans will be murdered today if
these "a hours run true That many
dered every day-more than 10000 And these mind
Won are ONLY the known murders There must be thousands
that are never discovered particularly IN
gon unknown number OF people VINO are recorded
by the police having disappeared es uhuer the soo VIC
tins of assassinS.
Twenty-eight today! The will tell you OF only few
Murder has become common in the states that
of than local interest unless the crime has unusual
angles involves celebrities.
An American is twice apt to be murdered today as
20 wears ago. decades the murder rate has doubled
even making allowances for increased population.
England and Wales had only 200 murders last year On
strict population basis had rs times as many And
record for each 1000 population was three times as black
as Itay's.
Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, of Prudential Insurance Co.
furnishes these figures
To prevent child starting fires you keep him away from
matches In this simple principle the obvious to lower
the murder rate.
Poison used to be favorite method of murder It's
paratvey now-because government has made it hard
for the crminay inclined to obtain posons especially
that leave little or apparent traces.
The day is coming when the sale of fire will be SIM
lary restricted With criminals virtually unable to buy
pistols and with stiff penalty such life imprisonment for
illicit possession of pistol the murder rate would drop
For mark you the revolver is used in the majority OF
murders Local restrictions against its sale of little avail
long crooks buy revoers from mail order houses
Congress has the power to prohibit interstate traffic in
pistols That power should be exercised pistol should be
sold to except officers of the law Householders could
protect themselves with rifles or sawedo shotguns which
be carried concealed through streets by the cmna
inclined.
AS for hunters their sport isn't worth 10000 murders
year. The rifle is all they need, anyway

No EXCUSE FOR A TAX
on RADIO

The proposal 10 place a 10 per
cent Federal tax on radio goods is
about as big a piece of nonsense
as we have seen shadowed forth in
many moon.
Granting that the government
needs the money" the idea of a
new nuisance tax is especially
repugnant al time when the
country has been promised relief
from those exaSperating eXactions.
But radio, they say. is luxury,
SO is cake. perhaps; but il isn't
taxed-because, like radio, it sup
plies something needful TO human
beings.
The theory that a thing which
gives pleasure and benefit TO multi
tudes of people is luxury to be
bounced upon and penalized is a
grossly mistaken one

THE BIRDMEN AT TOXIC

Our Army fliers made brilliant
work of it in the KUriles Islands
after their long trans-Pacific hop.
The kuriles stretch from the trip
Of the kamchatka Peninsula south
westward TO the islands of Japan
proper. They form convenient
stepping stones on the east coast
Of Northern Asia, just as the Aleu-
tian Islands, stretching far to the
southwest from the Alaskan PENN
Sula, make a cauSeway from the
west coast of North America.
But between the last OF the Aleu-
tain steps and the first OF the
Kuriles there rolls a stretch of the
Pacific nearly nine hundred miles
across. Our three dauntleSs Army
filters hoped over that stretch
very neatly, and then took another
hop five hundred miles southwest
ward TO Yetorufo. almost the last

CANADIANS COMING ACROSS

The high mark of Canadian i'm
migration into the United States
has been reached during the last
few months, it appears, and the
tide is said to be flowing chiefly
from the west and east of Canada,
and in smaller volume from the
central section. The drift of Cana
dians across the line is the most
serious problem affecting Canada s
growth and prosperity. The prob
lem has always existed, for the
boundary is SO unsubstantial that
an ambitious Canadian moves to
Detroit, or Buffalo, or New York,
or Chicago with no greater wrench
than he would move to Toronto or
Montreal
With the advent of Canada's cen
fury il was thought the movement
had been finally checked But
when the census figures of 1921
were published it was learned with
dismay that million or more Ca
nadians were lost They had
moved across the line: The dis
covery was an unpleasant shock.
But recent figures are far more dis
concerning.
For the first nine months of 1923
more than $4,000 Canadians enter
cd the United States and registered
their intention of remaining there.
In June, July, August and Septem-
Der the figures ran from 5000 to
$4,000 a month. Officials estimate
that this means migration of per-
maps $4,000 Il month, because not
all who move out are officially re-
corded as permanent emigrants.
This movement, il maintained,
would mean a loss OF 100000 a
year, which will scarcely be re-
placed by immigration and natural
increase Moreover. movement
which takes out Of Canada CHIEFLY
native-born Canadians and replaces
them only'with babies and with in
experienced arrivals from Europe
results in a serious net loss to, the
country. - Manchester (England)

AN ATTACK on PIE

The food value of pies is not
worth the time spent in their max
ing, says the Farm Extension Sery-
ice CT New Hampshire to the farm
women Of the state.
The extension workers seek %

They find that the average farm
woman in New Hampshire, laibors
nearly 1000 hours-an eleven-hour
day. including Sundays and holt
days.
That conclusion was based on
charts kept by representative
farmers wives.
BY all means let the women have
a taste of leisure.
But whoever rated a pie for it's
food value? -
Pies are national institutions.

MY DEAR DICK:

to paper.

read the first sentence. You are

ways thought that when a man asks
woman to be his wife, he was sure
that he cared for her more than
any one else in all the world; and
when she told him that she would
be his wife, she set herself apart
quite as much as though already
the marriage lines had been read for
her.
An o1d-fashioned idea, isn't it?
And now l am satisfied that no man
ever has any particular feeling of
responsibility toward the woman to
whom he is engaged.
l don't just understand why your
feelings have turned back to me,
