attenuated survival of ancient sys- tems which England had at differ ent periods of it's early history" it says.
 AZ solution for this increasing crime problem Of the rural com. munities the committee suggests an adaptation of the state constabulary idea. Instead of q separately or ganized body operating independent- ly 1t should be a staff charged with the development and coordination oi local police forces. the report says
 Take 1t out of politics." says the report in suggesting a remedy for the problem of properly policing the cities. Declaring that 'the char acter and tone of our police forces but mirror the character and tone of city administration in general" Statistics are quoted from army intelligence tests given the Cleve. land police force to sustain the com mittee's contention that the trouble is in the lack of average intelligence in the police force. The average in. telligence of the Cleveland police was lower than that of privates in the army. 1t was shown, 5S per cent being below Glass c ranging from those not capable of completing a high school course to the worst o1 the moron class"
 Summarizing. the report makes these recommendations:
 Take the police force out of poli- tics.
 Reform the bond system and methods of legal procedure so as tc do away with the justices of the peace. as Detroit has done: decrease trials by Jury in minor off, nses: give more power to the judges: require prosecuting attorneys to make a yearly report of their activities and tl- reasons for their actions. Extend the state constabulary sys. tenn for the protection of rura! i communities.
 Establish permanent crime com. missions. such as that which has been operating in Baltimore. tc make constant study of the chang. ins problems of crime and its pre- vention.

 al Crime Commission Report

New York. Feb. 2s F-1nefficien- cy of the police and the courts Is blamed for this country's notorious crime record" The blame is placed in a report from a subcommittee to the national crime commission. which recommends as one solution that police departments be taken out of politics.
 The report summarizes a survey made by the committee, of which
 Frank o. Lowden. former governor of Illinois Is chairman and was writ
 ten by Dr. Louis N. Robinson of
 Swarthmore. Pa, noted criminolo-
 gist, and executive secretary of the committee.
 Characterizing crime as appearing to be the safest business in which one could engage" the report says that in Buffalo. N. r.. but three per cent of arrests are made proportion ed to the robberies which have oc- cured, the lowest record of the nine cities from which statistics were ob-
 tained. This is compared to 80 per cent in England. Schenectady, N. Y.
 the report said. was not much bet ter, with percentage of 10 and St. Louis II per cent.
 Is Lucrative
 Robbery in Buffalo must be .
 particularly lucrative calling" Dr.
 Robinson said. The number who
 are finally convicted is necessarily SO small that the luckless individual who is occasionally caught and con. victed must attribute his misfortune
 to an act of God, as he would in case of disastrous storm, shipwreck or earthquake"
 In cases of manslaughter and
 murder only one of the nine cities showed a better record of arrests than England where the percentage lis s2. Cleveland has score of SS

 trasted to that are St. Louis where the percentage is only 16, Kansas

DELANEY READY
 FOR TOM HEENEY
Bridgeport Batder Not Worrying
 About His Weight

Bridgeport. Conn. Feb. 2S R>- Jack Delaney has just about decided that the poundage he carried as light heavyweight champion of the world --or a little more-must bear him through the rough and tumble bat ties he faces in the heavyweight divi- sion where the best he can expect is about 20 pounds the worst of the weights.
 On Thursday night, in Madison equare Garden, New York, Delaney will face Tom Heeney. burly black smith of New Zealand, in the first of Tex Richards heavyweight elimina- tion semi-f1nals. Heeney will weigh close to 200 pounds. Yesterday when Delaney hopped on the scales for a deputy of the New York state athletic commission, the bar jiggled to 175& and stopped. But the bronzed French Canadian refuses to worry about the weight.
 Condition is the only thing that have on my mind" he said. as he oii tAC t1iC bilowy muscles of his shoulders and back limp and 1.-the under the min- istrations of his trainer.
 II have 175 pounds now. That will be IFS or 1s0 by ring time. And when I land flush on Heeney's chin a few pounds more or less aren't go- ing to matter.
 "Heeney has never been knocked down hard and hurt. Do you re- member the right hand punch I hit Sully Electromagnetic one that knocked him dead for five full min utes? There was only IFS pounds behind that one but l wish Gene Tunney's chin had been in front of ii I'd be the heavyweight champ ion of the world right now"
 There was flash in Delaney's eyes as he said that, a cockyness about him that instilled confidence. He hasn't been working too well in the stuffy little gymnasium that has been the fistic center of Bridgeport ever since he climbed the top of the light heavyweight heap. But that's a good omen. The natives point cut, for Delaney never looked better in training than before he lost to Maloney or worse than before the
