ENORMITY OF u. S. CRIME WAVE
AROUSES LAW FROM INERTIA
Recession Already Noted by Detective Burns, Who
Claims Swift and Relentless Punishment, as in
England, Is Real Solution of Problem.

Il is encouraging to those of us
who spend our time in an endeavor
to detect crime and to apprehend
criminals to know that the greatest
authorities on the law in this coun.
try realize its lax administration has
much to do with the prevalence of
crime. There is at last manifest a
broad determination to improve Grim.
inal procedure.
Law Enforcement Better.
BY a fortunate circumstance, this
movement has been accompanied by
a more determined effort to enforce
existing law, and particularly to de.
velop greater effectiveness in appre-
hending criminals. The most Inn
portant contribution along this line
has probably been made by the new
police commissioner in New York
City, Mr.. Mclaughlin. When he took
charge he made a careful survey Of
the police department and brought
about a very thoroughgoing over
hauling Of it's organization. He
adopted the most up-to-date methods
of coping with crime, one Of his first
acts being to arrange for close CO.
operation with the National Bureau
Of Identification Of the Department
Of Justice In Washington.

BY FREDERICK s. HOFFMAN,
Matistician.

Most people desire to live long and
many now live longer than ever be-
fore in the history of our country. Ac.
tually during 1922 there occurred 421
deaths in the United States registra
ton area, which includes about So
per cent Of the whole population of
white persons, 100 years old and un.
der.
Eleven Of these died from influenza,
1 from pulmonary tuberculosis, 8 from
cancer, "a from diseases Of the nerv-
GUS system, 81 from diseases of the
heart, S2 from diseases of the respira.
tory system, IA from diseases of the di-
system, 124 from old age and "a from
accidents. Of which 20 were due to
falls.
Thus the deaths in old age are due
to a. considerable extent to much the
same causes as death in advanced
adult life. Better care and better
medical skill could, no doubt, have
prolonged some of these lives. AS yet,
the diseases Of far advanced o,d age
are but imperfectly understood. What
Is called the science Of genatrics is
making progress and the outlook for
the aged is decidedly encouraging.
How to obtain old age and at least
the century mark has been the sub
ject of countless discussions from an
tiauity to the present day, but never
in mankind's history did people pro-
attain to old age as fire.

Modern Man Soon to Live $50 Years.
Is Confident Prediction of Experts

ceeds IL to Is per 1000, against from,
Is to 20 per 1000, say rs years ago.
The explanation of this phenomenon
lies In the obvious evidence that man.
kind lives more inte1ligently and as a
result more nationally, especially as
to food, drink and exercise The fac
tors which make for premature deaths
are now better understood, and atten-
ton to personal hygiene is becoming
the rule rather than the exception in
adult life.
There are those who with conn.
dence predict that modern man will,
before long, live to $50 years-and
why not? If he knew half as much
about diseases Of old age aswe do about
the diseases Of infancy, the propor-
ton living beyond the century mark
would long since have increased ma
terially. Among those who have made
this prediction is Sir Ronald Ross, the
distinguished discoverer Of the cause
Of malaria. Estimates for this eoun-
try are to the effect that in 1900 the
average expectation Of life was 33
years. while in 1920 it was So years.

veal some extraordinary record Of

Sacred Geese Annoy
Kashmir Noblemen

One of the most serious problems
that faced the new Maharajah of
Kashmir, Sir Hari Singh, was the dis
posal of the flock of geese that were
kept by the late maharajah. When
he died he had 400 geese, which police
men used to escort from the palace
grounds to their own watering place:
the traffic in the palace grounds had
to be stopped till the privileged birds
had safely passed. The golden goose.
q fabulous bird, has been noted in
Hindu mythology as the carrier.char.
lot of Brahna, the Creator in the Hin.
du triple godhead.
Sir Hari Singh on ascending the
Kashmir throne found these geese
rather troublesome and made the sug.
gestion that they should be quietly
dispatched. The priests held that ow.
ing to the sacred character Of the
birds they could not be killed. Sir
Hari Singh soon had a brilliant idea.
AS the RAJ Tilah ceremony Of his
coronation was concluded he had to
give costly presents to his mobiles, SO
he gave presents Of these sacred
geese, and soon the 300 cackling holies
were removed from the palace pre.
cincts. They are proving an equally
troublesome nuisance to the recipients.
who lind they cannot kin them. The
vision OF the future Is a country as
much overrun with geese as Australia
has been with rabbits.

No doubt the majority get absorbed In some
way. and after some time. into the activities
Of our great cities as office boys. clerks, fac
tory hands. shop assistants and the various
professions Of q higher social status. which
costs more money to their parents. But tens
Of thousands in every GLASS have to hang about

and Manchester.
It may be better now. but Is certainly true
even now. that large numbers of boys. living

He is fed up with the futility of life-on its

I think an increase In emigration to the

particular problem. 1t is. know. very UNI

There is a kind Of political propaganda against
emigration in the labor papers. They say The

Why should their sonss be evicted?"
don't think much of that argument. The
point is whether. by getting out. the youth Of
this country-some of it-may find healthier
lives and greater chance Of prosperity than
by staying at home in our big overpopuated
cities where. at best. money will always be lirn-
tied by poverty and strike conditions in the
mean streets Of this squalid civilization Of ours.

At official banquets emotional speeches

for the youth of Britain to come out to the

the cold truth that all the costs Of overseas

ing in New York City has taken place
in police departments very generally

There Is nothing difficult to under.

A great English criminologist re-
Gently pointed out that one person in
every $4,000 in the United States is
murdered every year. while in Eng.
land the ratio is about /. in every
236.000. The reason for this great
contrast, in my opinion, is found In
the fact that in England punishment
for serious crime Is swift and certain.
The way to improve conditions in this
country is to do what England has
done for hundreds of years-be alert
In the detection of crime and swift in
its punishment.
My own belief is that the awakened
conscience and intelligence Of the
country have come to understand this
and that real progress is now under
way.

Crime has greatly decreased
throughout the country recently, and
this is due to an awakened public
conscience, with a resulting rigor In
the execution Of the laws. What
has happened in New York City IN
recent months is typical Of what has
occurred in other places and marks
a movement that seems to be becom.
Ing general. The controlling purpose
in this movement is the swift and
relentless pursuit and detection OF
criminals. II this can now be fol
lowed by the swift punishment OF
criminals, this so-called crime wave
will surely recede.
Chief Justice as Authority.
No less an authority than the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
Of the United States has given 1t as
his opinion that the criminal law
and its laggard execution in the
United States is a disgrace to civil
ization This opinion was confirmed
by the committee Of the American
Bar Association on law enforcement,
which, in a voluminous report,
stated that the means for coping
with crimes and criminals in the
United States are neither adequate
nor effective.

American employers are less "hos.

higher living standard and increased

about largely by the American labor
movement, has made American pros

X y Il II
During a recent labor convention a
delegate who had been f1outing the
Volstead law. slapped the back OF a
visiting British labor leader and with
a string of cuss words invited him to
meet another visiting notable. A
friend Of the bibbler took occasion to
apologize for his conduct.
"It is q playful custom in this coun-
try" he explained, ito abuse an ac-
quaintance II we like him very much. -
''Ah, see,'' said the Englishman.
"Then 1t Is very clear that your friend
has conceived an extraordinary fond
ness for me-"
Secretary Of War Davis. testifying
before the military affairs committee
of the Senate, proclaimed an aim to
"apply business methods in planning
preparedness" OF course, Secretary
Davis meant that he hoped to improve
the efficiency of his department, but
why "apply business methods?" 1t is
an error Of rhetoric that Americans
are frequently led into by the national
admiration for business success.
Business is primarily concerned with
making profits. No evidence has ever
been offered that business" is prof.
cient at anything else or that It even
cares to be. Why should 1t? Ameri-
can business Is frequently charged
with debasing merchandise in the
scramble for profits. Surely Secretary
Davis does not propose to ape "busi-
ness'' that way in preparing for war.
Further on Secretary Davis dis
closes q plan for war control OF in
dustry to prevent prof1teering. Then
he spoils it ALL "Is diss beeznuss?"
The idea is splendid, but really it
hasn't the true ring Of business" at
all, However, more power to the
Secretary of War. We only wish he
would choose his words more &C.
curately.
