81 WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The re-
appointment problem may be settled
at last. But It will be settled In such
a way that States entitled to great
err representation in Congress will
not get it for seven more years.
Representative z. Hart Fem,
chairman of the House Census Com
mittee will introduce a Dill and seek
to have It passed at the short SEES
sion providing that membership in
the House shall be re-appointed on
the basis of the 1880 census.
The new apportionment would not
become effective until after March
8, 1888.
Fem would leave the membership
OF the House at 435. He would place
the duty Of re-apportionment in the
hands Of the Secretary OF Commerce.
directing him to allot representatives
among the states on the method Of
major fractions Of population.
In States wheer the number Of Rep
resentatives of Congress is increased
extra ones would be elected at large
Nuntil state ha dadopted new congress
sional districts. Those States that
have fewer representatives under the
new plan would elect their entire
delegation from the state at large
until new districts were established.
Ever since 1920 Representative
Barbour. Of California. and Mcleod,
of Michigan have been urging Cong
ress that it fulfill its constitutional
obligation to re-apportion immediat-
ely. They have not yet said whether
they will oppose the Fem plan to
delay action, but last year the cen
sus committee refused to consider
their plan. arguing that re-appor-
tionment on the basis OF the 1920
census at this late date is useless.
If the 1920 census We're used, Call
fornia. Connecticut. Illinois. Mich
igan. New Jersey. North Carolina.
Ohio, Texas and Washington would
gain representatives.

said Howe. "One can not say
whether< crime is increasing or de-
creasing. All is guesswork."
Part Of the work of the perma-
nent commission, he said, would be
to take charge of crime statistics
filed by constables. 1T must be a
system which every police officer I'M
derstands. Simple blanks should be
sent them to make a report of their
cases. When these reports are OBJ
tanned we may find the statistics
from rural districts that we lack.
Howe took issue with the theory
that the modern criminal is a pro-
fessional.
THE old type of yegg is disap'
pearing," he said. His place is be.
ing taken by the youngsters Of IS
or 20. The old gang system is dying
out. The average life Of gang to-
day is but six weeks.
These youngsters" Howe contin-
ued. appear to go into crime in or
der to obtain money to display to
their friends and entertain their
lady friends. The, standard Of liv-
ing is high. Then there is a feel
ing Of hero worship among the pub
lie for the daring Of the young
sters.
THE small chance of getting
caught helps to keep the criminal
with US. There is the automobile to
whisk them away after a robbery.
There is the slow procedure Of the
courts. There are shrewd lawyers
to protect them. With 4 sympa-
thetic Jury the chance OF going to
jail is not much"

their own to recommend special
legislation as needed.
Second, accurate information
must be gathered as a basis for ac-
ton designed to improve the adj
ministration of justice in criminal
cases.
Although New York State sue
sion in placing strict statutes on it's
books. Howe pointed out that this
body was a temporary affair and
said the State should go further by
making it permanent.
While Governor A. Harry Moore of
New Jersey expects to obtain similar
laws when his Legislature meets
again, Howe said the commission,
whose recommendations Moore is fol-
lowing was also temporary,
In Missouri, New Hampshire and
several other States some work has
been done by temporary committees,
he added, but the real work is still
ahead.
THE first and most obvious cure
for an increase in crime is to insure
the conviction of the CRIMINAL"
Howe said. THAT is a matter of
tightening up the law"
The future, however, must he
taken into consideration. The per-
manent crime commission would
function to prepare legislation, to
suggest better administrative meth
DDS for public officials and to in
form the public concerning the mat
ter in which public work is done.

Drinking Water In Infectious Disease

; drinking is recommended by doc.
tors in all infectious diseases.
But experience has shown, that
the absorption OF water from the
stomach and small intestines is
very imperfect during fever,
therefore enemata are by far,
the best method OF administration
of water to a sufferer from an
acute infection. These should
contain either sodium chloride or
sugar in an appropriated con-
centration. A special glass tube
with a tap allows to regulate
the flow of water drop by drop.
In this way, large quantities of
water may be administered to
an individual in the course of "a
hours. ...
Experience has shown that pa
tients treated in this way dur
ing typhoid fever, pneumonia
and other acute infectious dis
eases suffered much less from
grave consequences of intoxica-
ton with the poisons, present
in their blood and tissues. The
kidney elimination increased, the
tongue became moist, the nervous
symptoms less violent, the action
of the heart more regular and the
general state of the patient
quickly improved. This improve
ment was due to a diluting Of
the poisons in the blood.
Thus, in a Paris hospital, all
deaths due to typhoid fever dur
ing the last two years were
treated in the old classic way.
Those who got regular supply
of water by enemata recovered
despite the gravity of many

"Alias Bill Nix"
Latest Offering by
Pearl Young Players

alias Bill Nix" presented last
evening at the Silver Theater by the
Pearl Young Players proved fully as
original, unique and interesting as the
title indicates. The story is modern
in its setting, and develops many
humorous situations.
A brief outline of the play reveals
the fact that Harrison Cook Sr., Up.
r. Scamman) and Mrs. Cook Miss
Eta Young have two children, Betty
Miss Alice Carving and Harrison
Jr. paul Parr SMITH. Harrison has
been expelled from college and his
father disowns him. The former re-
turns home in disguise and runs his
fathers business. Wilson Mcclure
(Arthur Perry is foreman Of the
Cook Oil Company and with the help
of "Hardboiled Handy" (Loyal T. Lu-
cas) has been draining the oil wells.
This is the condition when Harrison
Jr., arrives with valet, Kohl Sakurada
(Ralph Parker). Winifred Enright
Miss Pearl Young), friend of Bet
ty, is visiting the Cooks. She has
been engaged to Harrison Jr., and she
is plunged into deep sorrow when Bill
Nix tells them that Harrison Jr., Is
dead. They believe this to be true
until Winifred finds out differently.
In time his mother and Betty also
learn of the disguise, but the father
is kept in ignorance until Bill catch
es Handy and Wilson with the goods.
The scene is very amusing where
Harrison ST., catches Bill kissing his
wife. And when he finds his son is
still alive, and really good business
man, he forgives him and kills the
fatted calf.
