Write to Europeans and Find
 Out Their Views

Boston, Oct. 16 Opl-If steamships carrying the mails from foreign countries find the letter bags un- usually heavy they can blame some of it on Dr. Sven Y. Knudsen.
 Dr. knudsen is government in spector of the national schools of Denmark and is ;n America on a two year leave of absence. While here he conceived the ide.. of bows in various countries of the world writing to boys in other countries. Hi5 idea is that International under standing can be accomplished only if started with the youths of nations.
 They Exchange Letters
 "Older folks already are set in their ways" said Dr. Knudsen. They are unable to grasp the view point of the foreigner. The boy. however, has an open mind and he is eager to learn how boys of other countries do things.
 Perhaps it is surprising to an American boy to find that young ster in Egypt thinks. along the same lines that he does, and that they have much in common. The more than 5000 letters that have been interchanged between Ameri- can boys and boys of other coun- tries shows that boys of different nations are interested in one an- other"

Sees World Directory

pr. Knudsen, who was professor of education at Antioch College. Yol- low Springs, Ohio during the past year, obtained the cooperation of The Open Road" a magazine for boys published in Boston, and in its columns published the names of boys in foreign countries to whom Ameri- can boys could write and receive re- plies in English. These names he obtained from Danish consuls and from friends in educational work in the various countries.
 Dr. Knudscn believes the exchange will promote an understanding that will last through the years. He hopes to publish a World Directory of boys that will be available in school rooms and libraries throughout the world.
 The girls? Well, Dr. Knudsen thinks should be able 10 write let tcrs 10 each other, too, But just now he has his hands full taking care of the boys.

 Forbes S75,00 jerk saved a wealthy Alaska miner exactly that sum and also saved the honor and traditions of the police department.
 The lieutenant put on his act at a. bout 4 a. m Monday in the suite of c. D. Hurlock in the Olympic.
 Hurlock with his wife, son and daughter-in-law had been celebrating into the wee sma' hours over the ar rival of certified draft for s75,00O from a Cincinnati, Ohio, bank. The check was in payment for mine hold ing near Nenana, Alaska.
 About 8 a. m. the check was discov- cred to be missing. Hurlock was ter TOT stricken. He called the police.
 Forbes took charge of the situation, melodrama fashion began a thorough search. Forbes delved into books, peeped inside the radio set, lifted rugs, shook out curtains and lifted

YEARLY FORECAST, BIRDS
 INDICATE COLD WINTER

LIVINGSTON, Mont, Nov. A. (P- If birds and animals know anything about the weather it is going to be a long winter, predicts M. P. Skinner, field naturalist for Yellowstone park
 Ground squirrels began to hlber- nate 10 days earlier than usual," says MT. Skinner. "Wood chucks went into seclusion two weeks before their ordinary winter bedtime and red pine squirrels began to gather pine cones much sooner than customary. Such nests of hibernating animals as I have opened are good deal deeper this fall, indicating they are digging to get away from the frost.
 Birds from the north are coming in greater numbers and considerably in advance of the expected time."

Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1926-01-29

Recently the Supreme Court turned
down the appeal of former Congress
man John W. Langley, standpat Re
publican congressman from Kentucky.
Langley had been convicted of con-
spiracy to violate the prohibition law
in May, 1922, but had succeeded in
delaying prosecution until recently,
when he was sent To the Federal peni-
Tertiary at Atlanta.
While under conviction for boot
Logging with sentence pending he
succeeded in placing hi s case before
his constituents in a manner to secure
his reelection to congress, but when
theh Supreme Court turned down his
appeal he was forced to tender his
resignation. Verify, the way of the
transgressor is hard. Justice even 10
a stand pat Republican member of
Congress, though often Indefinitely
delayed, is certain and sure. Langley
will spend two years in Atlanta look
ing at the gloomy walls of Federal
prison. He will have time to ponder
his ways, and may come out a better
man. But whatever happens, the
grand old party has lost a good stand

War and Prohibition |.

General Secretary, United Brick and
Clay Workers of America.

am not much of an authority,
never having worn a star, or associat-
ed with Mr.. Burns d. Co., on the crime
situation, but can at least give my
views for what they are worth and
think they can all be summed up un-
der two heads, The Worlds War"
and Prohibition"
In my opinion it will take many
years TO gain back the former respect
for human life that existed prior to
the World War. When you preach
bloodshed throughout the entire world
and send armies of young men into
the field and train them 10 do this sort
of thing, it can only reasonably be eX-
pected that human life will be held
very cheaply.
On top of that we have prohibition,
and regardless of whether the MAORI
ty are for ii or otherwise, rs percent
have no respect for the laws that gov
en it, many of whom are good citi-
zens and live up to the law to the
letter. That naturally allows the big
people who are engaged in the traffic
of liquor Unlimited opportunities both
in the distribution of same and like
wise a much better better opportuni-
ty of being acquitted than does the
ordinary person who violates other
laws of our land.
Then, too, we find that due to the
large amount of money invested in
this business and the powerful organ
izations and syndicates, they have
some of the biggest politicians hob
nobbing with them at all times. They
are therefore power both financi-
ally and politically and any criminal
seeking refuge from the law has bet
ter protection if he goes in company
with this group than he could get else
where. 1t then becomes the old law
of self-preservation and they flock to
the one safety island and those con-
nected with the liquor traffic cannot
very we'll turn them out.
think if the VoIstead law was pull
led and light wines and beer were
allowed, We would see a dropping off
in crime of at least so percent, and
We would gradually drift away as the

Labor, official organ of Organized
Labor, published at Washington, says
of the support rendered Maryland
strikers: "On the very day on which
Senate hearings were opened on the
Railway Labor act the citizens of
Hagerstown and Cumberland, Md,
were attending mass meetings in pro-
test against the labor policies of the
Western Maryland railroad"
The mayor of Cumberland, Con-
gressmen Carss, of Minnesota, and
John c. Schafer, of Wisconsin, adj
dressed the meetings.
1t was shown in the addresses that
the Western Maryland railroad WAS
the only line that had refused to grant
the conditions Of employment which
were in dispute in the controversy.
Gradually the opponents of the
policies of Labor are being weeded
down to the minimum. In this par
ticular fight of the strikers, appar-
emily all railroads were willing 10
grant the concessions demanded save
the railroad mentioned above.
1t is significant that western con-
gressmen joined with the citizens OF
Cumberland and Hagerstown, in strik-
ing blow at the railroad corporation

years go by from the World War
which would cause another drop in
the percentage. Prohibition, however,
would be largely responsible in my
mind, the World War having been a
close second, but from that angle we
can hope for much improvement.
