TRAGEDY IN OUR MODERN BABYLON

If the New York papers a few days ago had seen fit to publish extended accounts of all the vio- lent deaths In the metropolis with in the last A hours" there would have been scarcely enough room for political news, attacks on Mayor Hylan or the daily artices about the need for more sUbways.
 Thirty-nine sudden deaths was the record breaking total that told their somber and tragic story on the police bIotters in a 24-hour period. The deaths came through the agen- cies of bullets. alcohol. automo- piles, fire, gas and miscellaneous accidents.
 When some well-shod and we'll fed folk think of New York they see visions of Fifth avenue and Broadway gayety. But the latter is only half the story of New York life. There is more high life and high links concentrated in some portions of that city than anywhere else in the world, but also far more misery than in any other city.

MODERN MORALS AAND SEX MAGAZINES

"A magazine of modern morals" This is how one of the "happer- type" magazines advertised itself re- gently on the outside cover of an issue.
 Salaciousness has run riot in the magazine marts. Every week seems to see the birth of new publica- ton whose watchword is Illicit pas sion, its editorial policy sex, and its business policy get-the- money re- gardless.
 They sell like hot cakes" one newsdealer stated. You'd be sur- prised at the number of girls who buy 'em."
 Compared with the poison pages of some of these magazines, the old time dime-novel thriller was Sun day school literature. Tse old thriller at least gave virtue a chance; the sex magazinesSdon't re- gard virtue us existing.
 The description, "A magazine of modern morals" would suggest that modern morals are bad, or at least of a different standard than not so-modern morals. To many ob- servers the suggestion is that mod ern morals are worse than they ever were before.
 If they are bad. these magazines are not improving them; If tlSy are not bad, these magazines are stimulating them into badness: if they are as good as ever before, these magazines are undermining them.
 This jazz literature may be a sign of the times, but very poor sign. If morals are so low that an ap- peal 10 sex is the strongest selling point of a dozen or more of popu- lar magazines, the blame must rest somewhere.
