PARIS, March 15.-Prof. CASTOR

opinion after a thorough study that
ratification of the Washington debt
agreement by the French Parliament

The agreement. NJ. Jeze says. does
not create a new debt but merely re-
duces the debt already existing and
due: hence, according to the French
constitution and precedent, the
Council of Ministers can ratlfy 1t
without regard to Parliament.
M. Jeze's opinion is highly impor-

Chicago officials say Chicago crime
is more widely advertised than any

The Chicago Crime Commission has
spent 100000 since it's inception eight
years ago to help authorities check
crime.
Figures compiled by Francis ID
Hanna, assistant operating director
of the crime commission, over period
of eight years, show a great decrease
in the number of burgsaries and rob
berries. The reason for that, he said
is that crooks these days lean to the
theory that fewer and bigger robberies
are better.
Robberies Show Decline.
In 1919, Mr.. Hanna's figures showed
there were 6,10S burglaries reported
last year there were 89T.
Robbery complaints last year
totaled 1928, and in 1919 there were
2,912 complaints.
What the normal part of Chicago
wants to do is to prove the city s
shield is not composed of a machine
gun rampant on a bootlegging beer
barrel, that crime in Chicago is not
increasing any faster than is its con
glomerate and diversified population
and that crime here Is not dispropor

taken in that night. The money that
is left after paying for special adver-
tisements will go towards sending de-
serving1 boys to the Y. M C. A. camp
on the 3Oth of this month.
The Hi-Y boys are working hard to
make this show a success and hope
that the people of this city will get
behind them and put the thing over.
There are SO many boys whose parents
cannot afford to pay the boys way to
camp, so the HiY boys decided to put
on this benefit show.
There will be five turns of vaudeville
and a good picture will be shown. The
prices are: adpults SOC and children
25 cents.
Members of the committee chosen to
interview the boys that put in appli-
cation to go to camp are: Mr.. ElVey,
of the Elvey Sporting Goods store;
Russell Meadows, of the Douglas Drug
store, and Mr.. EichbaUm, 919 Fifth
street. All boys wishing to go to
camp and who cannot afford to pay
their way may go to Cne Of the above
mentioned men and put in their names
and the committee will decide who are
the most deserving cases and give the
list to the Hi-Y club, which will furnish
money for the trip.
There are many boys who are going
around the city selling tickets. These
boys are helping themselves, and they
will get what money they earn credited
to their camp account We wish to
help those boys who are willing to help
themselves and we hope that the people
of this city will help those boys who
are working so hard to go to camp.
