End of Civilization
Is Predicted By
barrow

ny hMDNKh&AAOnA NCW0 6cFshCes
BOSTON, Mass, March 25.-
A gloomy picture of civilization
was painted by Clarence s.
Darrow, Chicago attorney who
defended Loeb and Leopold, in
an interview today. Here is
the picture:
Civilization is becoming top
heavy.
"Some day a frightful
cataclysm will overtake society
and civilization will crumple.
"Man is still a savage at
heart and women are greater
potential killers than men, for
under emotional stress they are
more likely to strike out blindly
to steal or murder than men.
"And you can put this down:
Society isn't a lbit better than it
was in jungle ten thousand
years ago"
barrow came here to debate
with Scott Nearing and to talk
to the Harvard Liberal Club.

In all the time / have served with
the bureau | believe l have re-
ceiVed but one lost permit which
was turned in here by a civilian. A
few are turned in by the police
but the vast majority of lost per
mits, for which duplicates are Is
sued. are never accounted for.
Some 70 them are undoubtedly
found and used fraudulently by the
finders but there is no way OF
ascertaining how extensive this
practice may be.
"Few Used Fraudulently."
Il have heard of very few cases
where duplicate permits have been
used fraudulently. 1t is almost I'M
possible to convict d person of lend
ing or selling a duplicate permit,
since the Illegal user Of the permit.
If caught, will swear that he found
it rather than admit he conspired to
violate the law by borrowing or
buying it,
ut is almost impossible to furnish
legal proof that the permit was not
actually lost and while this may
prove carelessness on the part OF
the owner there is no legal respon-
IHe present law.
In the opinion of Policeman Mil
ton d. Smith, president Of the
Policeman's Association, the print
ing Of the photograph of the permit
holder on his permit is the only
remedy for the duplicate permit
evil,
IT have advocated the printing OF
photographs on permits for several
years" Smith said. 1T is the only
way to permit a check u" on the
use of permits fraudulently and
also will prevent the practice OF
experienced drivers securing per
mits for friends who are just learn
ing to drive or who are unable to
pass the examinations.
"Under the present law profess
sional operators are required 70

Policemen must have photographs
on their pass cards In many
cities newspaper reporters must
have their photographs on their
press passes.

The bootlegger is not a profess
sional driver and he can and does
operate on fraudulent permits. If
his photograph appeared on the
permit you could readily check up
on him.

Potomac to Remove

ALEXANDRIA. March 25.-The
State Highway Commission today
took a hand in the traffic war
between Alexandria and the town
Of Potomac.
The commission ordered signs reg
ulating the speed of motor cars
at eighteen miles an hour at
Potomac, removed from the State

said he will have the signs re-
moved, but viii set them up again
on the side of the road, just within

The council of Potomac has de-

taken to Alexandria. An office has
been set up in the town where all
offenders will be given chance
