 Although he has not obligated

 bers In case he falls short of the
 goal, Mr. Ctona has set himself the job of getting that number and has
 agreed to go out and get them.
 In this connection he is being of
 fercd the aid and assistance of his
 friends among the business and
 professional men of the city In ad-
 dition to renewing their own mem-
 berships many prominent New Britainites have agreed to help Mr. Crona in his one man drive. Th- following have pledged themselves l to provide at least 10 new mem- bers: Judge William c.

 Although the memberships sold in ! New Britain go direct to Washing ]. ton, the local officials of the Red .

They were informed that if Hartford felt the | need of any aid from here they would be advised later. To date no request for aid has been received.
 National headquarters at Wash ington has announced that there is sufficient money on hand at. the present time to take care of New England's flood relief situation, but that in so doing it will depletc the treasury and the new memberships to be sold will remedy the depletion.
 Former Chairman CurtiSS l.. Shel- don this morning called attention to a statement by President Coolidge that the National Red Cross aided in v catastrophes last year. and stated that when New Britain people were giving their help to the Mississippi !. flood victims, they were aiding fl other disasters at the same time.

sociated Press at Paris, figuring that would be the quickest way tc let everybody know we were safe
 This is marvellous" she said as the shrieking whistles Of small boats and big ships tore loose in a wei come to her and her co-pilot.
 Loved Paris, She Says
 Paris was all I expected it would be, but there's no place like home and I'm sure glad to get back.
 "No such thing" she declared, an- swering a question about "all those gowns you bought in Paris"
 All l got was just enough clothes to come home in. Knickers are all right when you're up in the air but you can't wear them for ever. All sIr ge-for both of us-is Just one steamer trunk and two handbags"
 Plating her husbands hand as he sat near her in the center of an ad- miring crowd of the Macon, she sighed and smiled again.
 I'd like to organize another ex- pedition," she said, "and I'd like a plane just like the American Girl. She was a good ship"
 Womack grinned, but was silent. This was his wfe's show and any discussion Of the future, he indcat- ed, would be postponed until there could be a little more privacy.
 Deaf to Movie Pleas
 Miss Elder will turn cold shoulder to all movie offers, she avoved. No contracts have been offered her to go into pictures, she added, but q don't want to be q movie actress anyhow" she said. I'm afraid l don't know how"
 Joseph Schenck, movie magnate, who was passenger on the Aqui- tania, had offered her no contract for her services in the pictures, she said.
 The flers' press agent was author lty for the statement that offers of various kinds already made would total more than s250,000.
 A big crowd surged about the hotel St, Regis as the fliers arrived, but Miss Elder waved a hand, flash ed e smile and went immediately to her room to prepare for the recep- ton at city hall later in the day.
 Miss Elder, asked what her big sest day in Paris was, replied that they were all big days, that her greatest impression was of the French peoples kindness.
 The jaunty sea captains hat she had worn off the oil tanker she wore until she got to Paris. After that it was literally torn to pieces by ad- hiring Parisians. she asserted.
 Haldeman was asked if his plane was not off the course when 1t sighted the oil tanker.
 I've were south of the course we lad laid out" he said, but we were directly on our course to Spain. After leaving Roosevelt field, when ye got to sea, we had to change to he south to avoid q. low pressure Irea ahead of us. Having made hat turn we decided to head for 'pain."
 Haldeman said he didn't know LOW he would celebrate the 7th an- liversary of his marriage, which will be on next Sunday, but plans lave been made for 8 dinner in lonor of Ruth Elder to be given by ha National \Iomap'a porfy Cn hat day.

BERLIN. March 25.-eC Crime is
like the sea. there is ebb and flood,
but the amount of water remains
the same" was the answer OF Prof.
DIR. Heindl. famous expert on
criminal science. to circular ques.
ton whether crime had increased
in Germany after the war or not.
81 do not believe in the theory
said lIeindl. that we would have
less crimes in Germany. If we had
won the war.
Look at the United Statesl It
won the war. but today it is the
country with the largest total Of
crimes. especially murders. It Is
not always the empty stomach or
the empty purse that breeds crime,
1t is the nerves mostlyi Murder
as the result Of the world war has
increased not only in Germany, but
also in the countries of the victors.
THE respect Of the laws, espec.
tally Of the inviolability Of human
life. is gone. Also, youth has
grown up without the supervision Of
the fathers that fought in the war.
II am in favor of life long In
terment as the best measure against
any growth of crime.
II witnessed the good effect Of
such a law in Australia when I
visited that country some years
ago."
