MORE CANADIAN JUSTICE

| a ITlenu OF tHlS newspaper Ill
Chatham, Ontario, sent us a copy of
the local paper containing the story
under a large three-column head
! ing of how two armed robbers in
! that town got taste of Canadian
! justice. Here is the heading: Armed
Robbers are Sentenced Twenty Hours
After They Had Held Up Druggist in
Chatham" The sub heads inform US
I that the unfortunate pair were sem
fenced to Is years Imprisonment
and ten lashes each.
In the news story was this para
graph:
you will each spend fifteen
years in kingston" said the
magistrate. The men in the
docket heaved sigh of relief.
And in addition to that ten
lashes EACH" continued the
magistrate. Both men appeared
to vince as they heard the last
few words of the court.
1t appears that the armed robbers
did not shoot the druggist. nor did
they fire even shot. The druggist.
believing in safety first when his
callers appeared. quickly held up his
hands and let them take whatever
money was on hand. Then, when they
left. he called up the police. 1mme-
diately every available cop in town.
aided by provincial police, railroad
detectives and posses of citizens be-
gan looking tor the bandits. resulting
in their speedy capture before they
could leave the town. The next day
they were arraisned before the po-
lice magistrate, given their choice of
a trial by jury at the next assizes or
tratc. AS is usual. they chose the
latter. The evidence was quickly pro-
vided, and in summing up the
prosecutor-called the crown attor-
ney in Canada-5aid:

severe sentences. People Of this
kind must realize that they cam
not stage hold ups in this coun-
try and get off with light SEM
fences. AS far as ! am concern
ed you can give them the
limit
1.-THE limit is what they usually
get in Canada; the general effect
seems 10 be to discourage gunner
from Detroit and Buffalo from conf
hitting suicide by crossing the line
into Canada in order to ply their
trade. The mistake that these two
gunner MADE was that they. native
Canadians, did not know enough to
jump on a train and travel the 60
odd miles into Michigan before going
into the hold-up business. Insanity
pleas in Canada are not necessary at
trials: 1t is prima facie evidence of
insanity when crooks ply their
trade in that part of North Amer
lea.
1t may be added as chaser that
the Is years melted out means IS
years. and not four, with something
additional off for good behavior"

Sc IeCted
byD.A.R.

Delegates Of the Caroline Scott
Harrison chapter D. A. r. to the
continental congress in Washington
we're elected at a chapter meeting
Thursday at which Mayor L. Ert
Slack was the speaker. The dele
ga .eS are: Miss Caroline Thomp-
son, Mrs. J. F. Edwards, Mrs. James
L. Gavin, Mrs. Wilbur johnson, Mrs.
Clarence o. Robinson and Mrs.
Thomas A. Wynne.
The ten alternates named are:
MesdameS Walter G. Marmon, S. E.
Perkins, w. B. Rossetter, c. A. Ed
wards. James M. Ogden, Frank A.
Hamilton, James H. Taylor, w. d.
Long, Maurice Tenant and M. A.
Ryan. Mrs. F. Ellis Hunter, regent,
will be a delegate by virtue of her
Office.
Mrs. James L. Gavin sang num-
Der of old English songs, accompan-
led by Mrs. Dorothy Knight Greene.
Tea was served following the pro-
gram.
Il resent the statement or at
tempted charge that am making
political administration or building
up a political machine or even at
tempting to build the administration
along political lines" Mayor L. Ert
Slack said, in his talk before the
chapter "On the contrary, I have
looked for efficiency and loyalty in
every instance and with some few
exceptions the changes have been
made entirely because of a lack of
efficiency.
There are two important features
with respect to being the mayor of
indianapolis at this particular time.
Those two features are ordinary
and extraordinary and it would be
supposed that the ordinary feature
would be first in Importance, but
apparently the. extraordinary fea-
ture is predominant. The ordinary
features of being a mayor Of this
city would be to go ahead and
transact the public business of the
city in proper manner, giving hon
est and careful consideration to
every matter of public business. This
is the thought that I had in enter
ing upon the duties of mayor on
Nov. 8 last.
ut would seem, after nearly three
months of operation that the pre-
dominant business of the mayor of
this city now is to give almost en-
tire attention to the extraordinary
features rather than the ordinary
ones. trust the citizens Of Indi-
annapolis fully realize that in no
way have I brought about any of
these extraordinary matters. On
the contrary. the entire trouble is
due to conditions existing long be-
fore it ever occurred to any person
that I would become mayor of this
city. Neither have these conditions
been aggravated by anything that I
have done as mayor, and say this
positively"

The change of membership basis
which has been the subject Of study
nationally in the Y. w. c. A. for a
number of years, and after it be-
came a possibility locally-has re-
quired two years for a decision, was
passed by a two thirds majority of
electors present at the annual meet
ings of branches and the central
association. According to this de-
cision any one may be a voting or
omce-holding member of the assoc
iation, who is in sympathy with the
purpose and makes the following
declaration:
"I desire to enter the Christian
fellowship of the association. will
Loyalty endeavor to uphold the pur-
pose in my own life and through
my membership in the association" "
The board of directors has granted
the membership department until
Sept. l to give all present members
the opportunity to become voting
members by signing the declaration
and until March to begin admins
tering the personal basis as new
members join. The new basis makes
voting membership a personal mat
ter, not a matter of church member
ship as formerly.

VIA OGIhiNs hEiNNE
PALM BEACH, Fla, Feb. 3.-Tho
southern winter season is reaching
its climax. All the best hotels and
the smart clubs-the Everglades
Bath and Tennis, Palm Beach
Country and the Beach-are seeth-
ing with gay activity. It's generally
an 18-hour day the poor dears put
in down here-beginning at II a. m
I suppose SO long a day is really
needed to allow time for costume
changing. After all, it takes time
to don the bathing suit, the gold
and tennis toys, saUntering Co.'S
tunes, dinner garb and then for
NAL attire for the time when bril-
liant stars shine and syncopatcd
music Woos.
Linens Solid CoIors
I have noticed many linens and
cottons lately The linens are for
the most part solid colors, with
banding Of contrasting shades
fagotted in or hemstitched or put
in with other hand-Work. The cot
tons are voiles, swiss, organizes and
SO on--in sweet lowered prints.
The jacket-frock is q new note,
It's a sleeveless ports dress-usually
Of white and it may be linen in
stead Of silk. The topping jacket is
really longer cardigan and it is
gaycst OF the gay-either in heavily
embroidered linen or wool or in
patterned silk. New Navajo prints
introduce jackets that take their
design from the blankets Indians
weave.
Socks, Socks, Everywhere
Socks are the newest fad. You
sec them everywhere. Tennis courts
seem to demand them Of course
young folks dispense with under
hosiery. Take such q cute looking
person as Anita Murray and socks
add a juvenile touch to her smart
frCck costume that is positively ir-
raSistible. saw her at the Breakers
Casin in a stunning little linen
frocz-white with coral inserts
fagotted in by hand and little curly
cew designs embroidered on two hip
pockets and at the bottom of the
chic coral yoke. Her white socks
had a bit Of coral in their cuffs. Her
frock featured the new natural
waistline silhouette, quite depart
ure from the straight up and down
of this time last year. She wore a
cute little white turban with an en-
broidered banding in coral tone.
Constance Fox wears linen too. I
saw her shopping along the Via
Miner in tricky little pale blue
handkerchief linen jumper suit with
cute Mandarin collar. She wore
natural ballybunti hat with it.
Natural straw hats, incidentally,
more often than not top white
costume this season. The trend is
away from dead white, even silks
and linens arc veering towards of
white" natural, string and a white
gregg.
Shell-pink Crepe
Sports costumes are introducing
all kinds of new collar treatments.
Mrs. Harrison Williams wore q
shell-pink crepe jumper frock that
has a convertible collar. Worn up,
it takes a new line that gives a lit
littl standing collar in the back and

none in the front. Down, it looks
like coat closing, with notched
revers.
She sponsored the blacksmith
shoes and black white hat COM
bination, the hat Of bankok with an
all-round mushroom brim.
Blacksmith bathing suits are in
high favor. Mrs. George Rasmus-
sen had on a blacksmith satin YER
sion at the Sea Spray Beach that
consists of a black satin gilet. A
black jersey three-quarters coat
