Miss Reed. well known as a Ziegfeld
beauty and because of her marital ad-
ventures, was granted a decree by Judge

lies girl was quoted as saying she was
going TO find "a little bit OF fiat in

with her husband for some time in an
unpretentious fiat in Evanston. a North
Shore suburb. and when his business
required that he move to Indianapolis
she went along.
1T wasn't the smaller town that
caused the divorce" Miss Reed said yes

CRIME DECREASING,
RABBI DECLARES
Rev. Louis J. SchWefeI Tells
Young People Press Gives
Wrong Impression.

Declaring that statistics for the last
l3 years show decided decrease in
almost every form of crime Rev. Louis
j. Schwefel. rabbi of the Sixth Street
Synagogue. last night told gathering
Of young people at the synagogue that
the present-day impression of the prev
alence of crime is due to the enormous
amount of space given such news in the
newspapers.
There is now not nearly as much
crime as in the past, Dr.. Schwefel said,
and the newspapers should recognize
this fact and lessen instead of increas-
ing the prominence accorded the ac-
counts OF extraordinary offenSes There
is less serious crime among Jews than
any other race, the speaker indicated.
The modern methods of dealing with
criminals are entirely wrong and do
not tend to prevent further commission
OF the same crime, he said He advo-
Gated the abandonment of capital pun
jshment and Jail sentences. and de-
clared that criminals should be treated
as sick people in need of education and
wholesome environment He would SUBJ
Stltutc probationary system of ham
ding criminals for the accepted method
Term Jail sentences do not reform
criminals or deter others, but only
protect society temporarily instead of
striking at the root of the evil. he said,
indicating that under a probationary
system large proportion OF habitual
criminals would become an asset to So
ciety.
