One cannot help admirns the idoalism O. Clarence Darrow, criminal lawyer extraordinary, who has been in New England, touched al Boston. and had d few words to say regarding the incarceration of Jesse poueroy in the ChariestOwn prison for 51 years,
 Whethar Darrow is correct in his thesis that criminals should be talk cn to a hospital rather than 10 the pcnit"ntiary perhaps will not be fully determined in this generation. The idea leaves too large loop hole for an escape from punishment altogether. II every criminal is in- sane, then every gunman, showing i little evidence of insanity while 1 plotting against society, comes into that category, The idea is propos- i terous.
 In the case of Pomeroy, however, i there is perhaps room for academic ! discussion over the prisoner, who ! committed his crimes when only 15 years Of age. Darrows 5 conception may apply in such case. .Pomcroy 1 might have been suffering from a mental arrangement at the time and many since have outgrown it. It is easier to believe q boy criminal in sane than to regard a hold-up man, i who follows crime as a business in this light.
 With due regard to DarroW' S learning in the criminal law, it is perhaps permissible to regard it as q mistake 10 weigh all criminality with the same scale. There may be reason 10 believe a youth who con- mits serious crime is mental ly deficient, whereas if the same
 ruling is to be applied to more ma
 lure individuals the law would be bercft of all power to punish the
 wicked.

WHAT PRICE ECONOMY

Economy being practiced on capl- tol hill has eliminated the hope that favorable action would be taken this year upon the construction of a dormitory for the normal school in this city. State Senator Hall, citing the most common sentence in his economical vocabulary, has told us that there is no money in sight this year" or words to that effect. The senator has never yet been known to make the mistake of fla voring something when there is no money in sight.
 Failure to push the dornitory project to q conclusion at this ses sion of the Legislature means it will at least have to wait two more years. The possibility is the prospect will be no better at that time than it is today. So long as the state insists upon operating everything upon the hand-to-mouth, pay-as-you-go prin- ciple, everything from roads 10 pub lie buildings will suffer. Ii it keeps on long enough the state will be run down at the heels.

SUMMER WHITE HOUSE
ELECTRICALLY EQUIPPED

Electrical refrigeration, outstand-
ing industrial development of the
present administration, has become
an inseparable part of kitchen ar
rangements for the Chief Executive.
The vacation White House in the
Black Hills, the temporary White
House on Dupont Circle and the Ex-
ecutive Mansion are all equipped with
this type of refrigeration. In addi-
ton a special installation was recent
ly made on the yacht Mayflower for
exclusive use of the president and his
guests.
A large electrically cooled cold
storage box was placed in the Execu-
tive Mansion more than a year ago.
Household electric ice boxes and cleo
trio water coolers were installed in
the temporary White House when it
was prepared for official residence.
In both places it functioned so salts
factorilv that shortly before the re-
cent presidential review of the fleet,
it was placed aboard the Mayflower.
Exhaustive tests were conducted
by the U. S. Bureau of Standards be-
fore the Mayflower installation was
made. This was done to insure a
type of refrigeration in keeping with
MANY improvements which have been
made upon the vessel since it became
a part of the navy in 1898.

Swatting flies is all very well but
it is better to kill them at the source.
Rotting garbage and manure are the
chief breeding places. The garbage
pail should be watertight, closely COW
cred. frequently emptied and thoro-
ughly cleaned. Manure piles should
be removed frequently or kept cover
ed with lime and flies will not develop.
Some energetic towns have made
the house fly almost a stranger by
enlisting the cooperation of every
citizen in comprehensive swat and
cleanup campaigns.
Of course such campaign can not
be concluded quickly. 1t will be a
long, deadly siege, requiring the
greatest vigilance on the part of the
defense forces. The following pre-
cautions should meanwhile be observ-
ed:
Keep your home screened.
See that your food is kept covered.
Keep netting over the baby.
Eat no food that flies have sampled.
Boycott fly-ridden stores.
Report unsanitary fly-breeding
places to the health authorities.
Keep flies away from the sick, es-
pecially those i'll with contagious dis
eases.
