contagion" is chiefly responsible for
the spread Of crime in the United
States, in the opinion of Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, assistant at
torney general.
Mrs. Willebrandt, public defender
of women and leader in the legal
profession, told the United Press in
an exclusive interview today that
crime usually can be traced to three
sources:
/. Effect of criminal associates
upon persons who have no restrain
ing home environment. This might
be called "crirne contagion," or
mental contagion."
2. Economic pressure.
3. Dare-devilism.
Men Increase in Crime
Women, she said, are no more
criminally inclined today than they
were a generation ago, but men
have increased in criminal tendency.
There has been an increase Of
crime in both sexes, but women have
fewer opportunities to break the
law she said. 1.-THE average reac-

She believes the So-called "jazz
age" has caused some increase in
crime, because there is a tendency
among youths to take wild chances.
She said this increase was small,
but resulted in more spectacular law
violations.

slighter with the result that the
slump was much less.
Mr.. Derickson says that in 1910
the values per acre Of farm land was
S33.65. In 1920 this had grown to
$4459 but in 1925 has dropped back
to S34.83, which is almost normal.
Compared with other States, this is an
outstanding figure.
In Iowa farm values per acre
jumped from $3.50 to $199.52. Some
acres were valued at $500, SO that the
depression existing in Iowa is enor-
nous as compared to Delaware.
Figures showing the over-eXpansion
and indebtedness of the country give
clear realization Of why the farmer
is suffering from reproduction.
From 1910 to 1920 new pasture land
developed in the United States was
over 4OOOO,OOO acres. In forest land,
there were 100000 more acres clear.
OF this increase 3O,0O0,000 acres were
added to the former area used in pro-
ducing wheat.
One Of the causes for losses to
farmers, Mr.. Derickson says is due to
the one crop farmer. That is, the
