Our War On Bandits

We hear much today about "war on bandits
apparently being conducted somewhere. Practc-
ally every day the newspapers state that the police
have taken another in the war on bandits y
But where are the casualties? Is this comic
opera war where there is great firing Of blank
cartridges and great stains Of red ketchup and dra
matte deaths, with the curtain going up for the
core to disclose all the dead alive and smiling
their appreciation CT their realistic efforts
Truly, If we waging on bandits, it is
comic opera war to be enjoyed by the participants
by the spectators and wherein no one is really
hurt and certainly no one killed. Our war on ban
dts reminds Of the guerias in civil war times
whose duty it not to kill the enemy but to
harass them. We do not accomplish that. We
merely arrive en- the scene of the murder holdup
after the bandits have had ample time to get away
and solemnly take fngerprints and measurements
and promise an arrest "wthn "a hours"
Really, what monumental joke it is! With our
lax enforcement and our coddng of criminals and
our easy balls and udicrous parole systems and
our executive pardons how we expect to sue
cegsfuy wage against criminals?
And how progressive is the underworld and how
backward is the police department.! Crooks started
using fast automobiles years ago. Today police au-
thoritics arc beginning to motorze departments
but with small light cars, still behind the times.
II is truly wonder that bandits do not steal the
roofs from heads. They take everything
else with impunity. Human life means nothing to
them-why should it to US? Why not make this Il
real war with blood flowing on both sides?

JABS HIMSELF,
SAVES BABY

Tenth-month-old Albert Mack,
ir., is happy and well at his home,
221 B St. N. E., today, and DIR.
Joseph Larkin, of the Casualty
Hospital staff, is worrying along
with. a slightly sore finger-these
two facts telling the tale of q
simple, and yet most unusual
operation, which DR.. Larkin per-
formed on the baby yesterday to
extract a safety pin from the
child's throat.
His Windpipe Penetrated
When the child's mother brought
him to the hospital, the safety pin
he had swallowed at his home had
opened and the point had pene-
trated the infants windpipe.
DIR. Larkin, realizing that the
injection of any instrument into
the throat might force the pin
further into the windpipe, and also
seeing that the child would die II
the pin were not extracted within a
few minutes, forced his index finger
down the throat to the point OF the
pin.
Holding the base OF the pin in
position from the outside of the
throat, DIR. Larkin JABBED THE
PIN POINT A HALF INCH INTO
HIS FINGER.
Then he slowly drew his finger
out of the throat, the pin with 1t.
Although he suffered much pain
for the few moments required for
the operation, DR.. Larkin is little
the worse for the experience today.

Al challenge to the vets to carry
their modification drive into the

Edwin o. Dinwiddie, superintend-
emit of the National Temperance
Bureau, while testifying before
the Senate Prohibition Committee.
'This whole issue" he said, "of

the American people at the polls
on far weightier reasons than are
given here"

mo one maintains there has
been 100 per cent enforcement,
Dinwiddie said. "But it is believed
there has been vast Improvement
in enforcement Of the law, with
prospects of even greater improve

Prohibition deserves a "fair
trial." Dinwiddie added, and this

Mothers aid legislation struck
another snag in the Senate today.
When II was reached upon the
calendar, Senator Bruce Of Mary

sideration. Senator, Capper, chair.
man OF the Senate District Com
rnittee. made a protest. saying the
measure had been before the Senate
for many weeks and should no
longer be delayed.
At this point, Senator King called
attention to the fact that Senator
Wadsworth, who opposes the adj
ministrative1 sections of the Capper
bill, and is supporting the Keller
mothers aid measure, was absent.
He proposed that further considera-
ton of the bill should be waived

Major Darwin proposes that GER
tain persons, in particular the
poor, should not be allowed to have
more than two children.
All persons receiving public as
sistance, relief from the State, I'm.
employment doles, free feeding for
their children in schools, should be
warned that they must have no
more than two children, Major Oar
win contends. AS soon as the
third baby appears the parents
should be cut off from all public
assistance and there should be
maintenance Of a special watch
to see that the family was being
reared under decent conditions"
when the warning was found
to have been neglected" adds the
major, another child having made
its appearance, and when also the
family was found to be living in
an uncivilized static, all its men,
bers should be segregated in some
institution. The segregation of the
parents would be accompanied by
their separation, the aim being to
prevent them from having any
more children"
Major Darwin holds that there is
proof that, while the human race
is not actually returning to the
lower type, the more desirable ele-
ments Of the population are de-
creasing, while the less desirable
increase. All the facts point
clearly, he believes, to the probable
Ity of a downward trend in all the
higher quantities of the human
race.
